Tontine Policies.
President Mccall spoke of the origin
of Tontine policies by Lorenzo TOntine.
in 1853. He said that from conversations

Equitable had adopted the Tcntine plan
since,-at the time OF its organization it
could not hope to compete with the
Mutual with its large assets and pay
dividends each year He said that at
present the New York Life had but few
Tontine policies outstanding.
President Mccall said that every dol

the New York Life had an assigned

Rugby Swept
By Angry Flames

In a fire at Rugby last Thurs
day night. which it is believed
originated from a short circuit
of electric wires, Bigelow's big
livery harm, a blacksmith shop
adjoining and the Imperial Lum-
Der company's yards were de-
stroyed by fire, entailing a loss
estimated at SIS, 900.
The fire originated in the hay
loft of the Bigelow barn. 1t was
discovered while in an incipient
stage, and the attaches Of the
stable were enabled to remove
all of the horses and the vehi-
Giles. The flames, however,
spread rapidly, and soon COM
municated with the blacksmith
shop adjoining, which was soon
reduced to ashes, together with
itsscontents. The sheds Of the
Imperial company, containing all
Of their best lumber, were total
~ destroyed. The east part of
the lumber yards were saved by
hard work If the bucket brigade.
The fire which started at 9
o'clock last evening was not un-
der control until 5 o'clock this
morning.

Fearful Storm
Sweeps South

Between two and three humid
red persons were killed and pro:
badly five hundred were injured
by a tornado which struck Sny-
der, a small city about thirty
miles distant from Guthrie,
Okla, at 11:4O o'clock last
Thursday night.
Relief trains sent from tie
surrounding towns to the strick-
en- city found the streets almost
obliterated by the wreckage,
with the dead and dying lying
about in heaps.
The storm came from the
southwest, travelling north until
one hundred yards from the
Oklahoma City & Western Rail-
way tracks, then it took a north
easterly course through the bust
ness portion Of the town. Not a
building was left standing.
Reports from the neighboring
country sections are to the effect
that many lives We're lost on the
farms adjoining.
In this awful storm, the worst
that has ever visited Oklahoma
and vies in destruction with that
which visited Wellington, Kans.,
in 1899, whole families have
been wiped out with its fatal
breath. Most Of those killed
were sleeping when the, storm
struck the town, and it is likely
that hundreds were blown into
eternity without awakening.
The relief trains carried a
large number of physicians and
surgeons, clothing and food for
the injured and manned. It is
thought that those who can
stand the trip will be taken to
Oklahoma City for hospital care.
<Synder was one Of the pref
tiest and most prosperous little
cities in the territory and before
the storm hal a population of
about 5000. The business sec
ton has been entirely destroyed,
as have several Of the churches,
the opera house and hundreds Of
residences. Relief is pouring in
from all parts Of the territory
and outside assistance will pro.
baby not be asked.

spection board, the appointment
to be made by the governor Of
Wisconsin. Up to date the Wis,
consin governor has not asked
Governor Sarles for such a re.
comm endation. From Superior
it is announced that an agreement
has been reached by the grain,
elevator and railroad interests
which will result in the success
Of Wisconsin. grain inspection at
Superior.
The agreement was made fol-
lowing a conference held some
time agossin st. Paul by Superior
board of trade representatives,
Dakota grain men and officials
of the Great Northern road.
Since that conference the board
Of trade at Superior has held
several meetings and has ac-
cepted the proffered olive branch
and other railroad and elevator
interests have fallen into line
behind the Great Northern. In
substance the agreement is this:
All grain consigned to Superb
or elevators will be weighed by
the grain and warehouse COM
mission stationed there under the
Wisconsin laws. This will in
sure sufficient fees to make the
board self.sustaining and guar
antee it against death through
any fight which would affect it
financially. 6
All elevators are to be thrown
open to the receipt Of grain
whether consigned for Wiscon-
son or Minnesota inspection.
= All coarse grain is to be in
spected by the Wisconsin in
spectors.
! Any grain specifically consign-
ed for Minnesota inspection may
be given that inspection in SUI
perior houses. This will enab lie
roads like the Great Northern,
which has no elevators in Du-
luth, to continue to handle grain
at Superior regardless Of the in
spection.
The Wisconsin commission is
to reserve the right to withdraw
the permit to allow Minnesota
inspectors at Superior if it is
found at any time that the agree
ment is not working satisfactor-
lily.
In return for the concessions
the roads and elevator concerns
profting by it agree to do all
they can in the course of the
business to help make the new
inspection a success.
