sion houses with northwestern connec
tons were good sellers and there was
also considerable selling by scalpers.
The market opened firm in sympathy
with higher cables.
AS trading progressed the market
became still weaker. Northwestern
houses had liberal offerings through
out the entire day, and on great de-
mand was manifested. Rumors of an
impending shut down of flour mills at
Milwaukee and Minneapolis were i'm
portant factors.
Increased receipts and favorable
weather for the curing of the crop
caused weakness in corn. The sell
ing was mainly by pit traders. The
demand was very light.
A decline in cash prices caused adj
ditional weakness in speculative val
ues. The market closed almost 1T
the lowest point.
Considering the weakness of other
grains the oats market held compare
lively firm. The volume of business.
however, was small, trading being
confined largely to scalpers.
Selling of May ribs and January
pork by commission houses caused an.
easier tone in provisions. Packers

The evolution of the Germantown

Chance Made in 19O3.

SHdIlSS MdAC III Two
Ulrich Huber is one of the insured IN
the Mutual company having a policy,
he alleges, for the face value Of 1920.
This policy is said to be in force at this
time. 1t is alleged that in 1903 the
directors Of the Mutual company, and
enough stockholders to carry the vote
i'll favor of the project, caused the laws
of the state to be amended SO that the
company could be al corporation, ceas-
ing to be mutual company.
In January, 1903, the Mutual COM
pany, says the complaint, was pos
sessed of assets to the amount of 1924,
SCOOP, and had liabilities to the
amount of $22, 66440. The surplus in
the Mutual company was $211, 575.76.
1t is declared that this belonged in
equitable shares to the plaintiff and
other policy holders, and it is added
that the assets have since increased
and that the liabilities are today not
more than $4,000.
Done Without Consent.
In September, 1903, it is said, the de-
PENDANTS combined for the unlawful
purpose of organizing the. corporation
Insurance company under the name of
the Germantown Insurance company,
They surrendered and transformed all
the assets Of the Mutual concern to
the new company. The plaintiff says
he and many others did not consent to
this. It is further alleged that
through connivance the defendants
converted $25O,O0O to the new com
pany A part of this is said to have
been paid over.
The good will AID surplus of a
large yalUe, according to the COM
plant, was included. This, says the
complainant, was dome at the expense
and loss to the Mutual company's hold
ers. waste and misrepresentation
are the words used regarding the
transfer
Receivership Is Asked.
Especially as regards the surplus
does the plaintiff demand judgment.
The court is. asked to order an ac-
counting and appoint a receiver.
Through the deal as alleged, says.
the plaintiff in further making his suit,
he and other shareholders and policy
holders have lost all the surplus Of the
odd company.

Ell Petr6leo no es I'M substitute del

Durante Ia presente escasez de

see if l am not doing our mule
friend a deserved justice.
Horses kicks, are pienty--mule
kicks are rare as promotions.
Were you ever riding at night
on the prairies, far away from
comrades and camp, weary, look
ing for the distant twinkling
camp fires not to be found? Did
you ever at such a time see your
mule friend lift his tireless head
and blow his resonant trumpet
of discovery of the sought for ha-
ven? He has not seen it, but he
has smelt it, and in a moment
is trotting q bee line for the dis
tant picket and forage ration.
Were you ever riding across a
dreary, dry, dusty country,
thirsty, no water in sight and it's
whereabouts undiscovered?
Throw the bride loose on the
mules neck and give him his
way; he will take you to water
as unerringly as a carrier pigeon
wings its way to its roost."

A Remarkable Echo!


Says the Youths Companion:
An ordinary echo is a curious
thing; but according to the
statements of a Frenchman at
watering place on the Pyrenees,
one echo on the Franco-Spanish
frontier is so far from ordinary
that it must have started in
America.
Gas soon as you have spoken,
said the Frenchman, who had
secured an audience of wide
eyed tourists, 'you hear dis
tinctly the voice leap from rock
to rock, from precipice to preci-
pice, and as soon as it has pass
ed the frontier it assumes the
Spanish tongue. But-yes, |

No Right to Take Life.

Judge John |. Mullins, of the

will not sentence a man to death.
Judge Mullins says:
"Under no circumstances will
| pass sentence of death upon a
man found guilty of murder in
the first degree. While | recog-
nize that it is not within the
province of a district Judge to
change a verdict, and that if the

Asked by a friend to second a

Mr.. Blackburn's duty to say the
last words about the duel. And,
gentlemen, continued the
speaker, edo you know that

What the "Open Door Really is.

The "open door" has been
talked and written about during
the last four years. 1t has been
mentioned in Presidential mes
sages and commended in party
platforms. All intelligent Amer
leans ought to know precisely
what it means, but they don't.
There are men who think
"open door" has something to do
with religion. They have an in
stinct recollection that the words
occur somewhere in a hymn. So
they think-like the person who
recently stood a civil service ex-
animation for place in public
library, who was asked about the
"open door"-that it means mis-

berlain's Cough Remedy. ltnot
only cures colds and grip effect
ually and permanently, but pre-
vents these diseases from result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is also a

in cough is not dangerous when
this remedy is given. ltcontains
no opium or other harmful SUBJ
stance and may be given as con-
fidently to baby as to an adult.
1t is also pleasant to take. When
all of these facts are taken into

She is not too proud to earn her
own living or ashamed to be
caught at her daily task. She
smiles at you from behind the

There is memory sewed up in

mountaineer already far up the

rejoicing. The sight should be
an inspiration to us all. 1t is an
honor to know this girl and be
worthy of her esteem. Lift your
hat to her young man, as she
passes by. Her hands may be
stained by dishwashing, sweep
ing, factory grease or printers
ink, but it is an honest hand and
helping hand. 1t stays mis-
fortune from home; it supports
all invalid loved one maybe; is q
loving, patient shield that pre-

brave toiler. God bless and pro-
