Carson City last week looking over the
company's business, he was informed
by DR.. s. L. Lee the companys medi.

policy holder had died some years ago.
Mr.. Ferguson was surprised, as he had
been informed that Mr.. Rosser was
still policy. holder He wrote the Of

mail received reply stating the COM
pany had never heard of Mr.. Rosser's
death and sending up claim papers to
be filled in. AS soon as these are ready
the sum of $1,000 will be paid over to
Mr.. Rosser's estate. Mrs. Rosser had
no knowledge of any insurance or any
policy and had made no claim. This
is an illustration of the far reaching
benefits of the Pacific Mutual policies
where the failure to make a payment
does not deprive the policy holder Of
the right to paid up insurance.

While he lived, nobody had been
especially fond of ALT except his pa

him. A loafng, ill-conditioned rufflan,
he had suffered Imprisonment for one
brutal outrage, and was strongly slls'
pected of others that could not be
brought home to him.
Nevertheless, his death was general
ly accepted in Lavender row as a
calamity; he was discussed as ex-
haustively as If he had been real

women reapec glory in small way by

posing as his personal friends.
The police could find no clew to the
murderer, and, throughout this thrill

eminence by reason Of their acquaint-

Jenny Cripps, nor took a subtler pride
in the elevation, nor appealed thence

No arrests were ever made. ALI had

degrees the search began to no

Meanwhile, though Ben Gillett had
made no attempt to intrude upon Jen-

When he could endure this no

mind about him, once for all by calling

Suddenly, at this critical juncture,
before she could be sure Of her own

Although frugal and hard working

him in his cart and started the mule

This new rival was none other than

Before his solitary conviction had
rendered the undue prominence too
risky, ALI had been the leader of a
gang Of Hooligans who were the ter

release from durance he had been no
less daringly lawless, but carried out
his exploits with a battling cunning
and secrecy that left the police no

even has broken away from the solid
south with a republican plurality of
from 10000 to 10000, thus leaving
Parker and Davis only twelve states.
New York went Roosevelt by 10,
600 plurality and elected a republican
governor. Massachusetts elected a
democratic governor but gave the
republican national ticket a large
plurality. West Virginia, the home
the democratic vice president Davis,
was carried by Roosevelt and even
the home town of Judge Parker went
republican by a plurality of over
eighty votes.
After returns we're nearly all in,
President Roosevelt said that under
no condition would he accept another
nomination for the presidency, and
sent a message abroad thanking the
people for their confidence in him,
stating that he would do all that in
