Evidence Said to Support Charges Of
Bribery, ErnbezzIement, Misappropri-
alton of Funds and Other Unlawful
and Dishonest Acts-county Attor-
ney Will Have Charge Of inquiry.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. "a COM
plete and thorough investigation Of the
acts of the directors and officers of the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company prior to It's reorganization
last winter will be made by the grand
Jury that convenes next Monday.
The investigation will go back to
1901. when the Northwestern Life as
ISOLATION, an outgrowtn OF some dozen
smaller companies, was re-incorporated
under the name Of the Northwestern
National Life Insurance company.
Since then there have been five COM
panies absorbed by the main company.
the chief Of which was the Northwest
ern Life & Savings company Of Des
Moines, Iowa.
Charges of bribery Of state officials,
suppression Of reports. rendering OF
false reports, embezzlement and mis-
appropriation of company funds, cut
ting UP OF fake" salaries and other
unlawful and dishonest acts on the
part of old officers and directors are
said to be supported by evidence now
in the hands of County Attorney AL j..
Smith and will be laid before the grand
jury.
Wide Range Of Charges.
The story Of the misconduct OF the
old regime Of the Northwestern Ma
tional Life Insurance company Is said
to be most sensational and equal In

Evidence is said to be in the hands
of the officials that will prove q most
lavish expenditure OF company funds
by the officers. It Is said to be Sis
ceptibe of proof that certain officers
bought property only to sell 1t at an
advance of several thousand dollars to
the company. Others took long and
expensive private trips that were
charged to the company. 1t Is stated
that one official admits paying $4,000
In cash for the suppression OF report
of state examiner. 1t is charged that
a number of local lawyers have re-
ceived large sums from the company
for shady work,
The qualifications Of the frauds are
said to include many outside OF the
company management, and the expose
promises to be one of the most sansa-
tional in the history of the life trsus-
ance business
Trying to Prevent an Expose.
There is some higher power back OF
the county attorney In the 'nvestsga-
ton. but what that power is has not
been divulged. Strong influences have
been at work in an effort to stare off
the expose, but it now seems thai t'ey
will be unable to accomplish their
object.

Jay Spangel, ba her. and Joe Gag

Soon after the man who carried the

Spangel and Gagnon located the

Story Of Alleged Robbery.
In the late SOS or early '70's IL great
robbery took place In Chicago. 1t is
stated by some that the robbery took
place during the great Chicago fire.
large amount Of money was stolen
by two men, who escaped by a small
schooner, but were pursued by officers.
They eluded the vigilance of their pur-
suers and after several days out sight
ed South Fox island.
1t Is believed they buried the treasure
on North FOX Island, then uninhabited,
taking the treasure ashore in yawl-
boat, at night, burying 1t above the
hlsls-water mark and driving marlin
spike into a tree to mark the spot.
After leaving Fox island the robbers
set sail for the Canadian shore and
separated. The schooner was wrecked
one Of the robbers being drowned to-
gether with the man employed to sail
the boat. the other. who survived being
picked up
Treasure Valued at $4,000.
1t is stated that the treasure consist
ed of gold, the value being $150,000. A
number of years afterward a man in a
Canadian prison died during long
sentence. But before he died he i'm
parted information of the robbery and
the location of the treasure. While In
prison he made chart of the island,
showing the exact location of the gold.
Before he died he sent the chart to his
wife. The widow married again and to
her husband confided the secret. The
husband did not believe the story and
the chart was lost.
In later years the husband in making
trip from Mackinaw to Traverse City
passed the Fox islands and related the
story OF the buried treasure to the sail
ors. 1t is believed that the sailors,
who heard the story in some way
became possessed of the chart and that
they sought to unearth the treasure.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Education.

lRev William Hathaway Pound.1
Education Is not examining the mind
with information. 1t is rather the de-
velopment of the powers of mind, body
and soul. An institution of learning
is not a shop where men are taught
to perform certain tasks like machine
1t is rather II place where men are
taught to study, think and act. There
is danger In magnifying the place of
fraternities In our high schools. The
folly of good time at the expense Of
good work is almost criminal. No one
doubts the benefit of athletics In our
schools, but we must not forget that
there Is a brain as well as an arm
and that after all it is mind that
counts

MANY sects, one of the most notewor-
thy Of which is that Of the Deniers,
which short time ago was practically
unknown. The social dogma OF the
sect is in agreement with the most sex
IRENE anarchistic doctrines; the men,
bers lead a vagabond existence and
pass the greater portion of their time
in prison The method of life of the
Deniers, their proneness to excuses,
and their hatred of existing order
makes them close relatives to another
mystic sect, the Beguny. The members
of this cult avoid all obligations which
are Imposed by state. society. or fam
lily; they roam about, living only by
begging. New members must burn all
passports and papers which have ref
erence to their social standing, for
such documents are considered the
work of the devil. The chief doctrine
of the sect, to which every member
must confess, is that anti-Christ
stands at the head Of the present
church, state, and society; church SER
vices and sacraments only pollute
faith; prayer should be in private
without any ceremonial; marriage is
deadly sin and whoever wishes to
live with a woman must do so with
out marriage, for the laws are not
made for the righteous.
The members of another sect, the
Christs, have discovered that every
member is God and they call them
selves the Sons of God. Divinity is con-
cealed in every man, so reads their
fundamental tenet, and the chief cere-
ynonv "a mutual adora tion
There are many sects in Russia
which consider suicide the only means
Of escaping sin and the devil, and iE
the seventeenth and eighteenth centur-

hundreds Of persons persisted. On the
other hand, the Skobzens purify them
selves thru mutilations, and the Self
Burners, also an offshoot Of the Old
Believers, burn themselves alive. DIR.

slider the worshiping Of images idol
airy, they will take no oath, they keep
Sunday holy are obedient to the au-
thorities, forbid cheating, stealing, vio-
lence, and lying. The Doukhobors be-
lieye in God, but not in the personality
of Christ; for them there is only res
direction of the spirit, not of the body;
thew take no oath and consider mar
riage merely a contract which may be
entered into and dissolved at will. AS

as large as the nearest competitor.
This is due to the fact that at Sioux

The latter establishment is supplied
from South Dakota and Nebraska as
well as Iowa diaries,
AS a matter Of fact, eighty per cent
of the butter that was shipped out
was from creameries or renovators .
But 90 per cent was dairy butter ID

Jones county really carries off the
belt, judged by the actual dairy output

CHARGE Pc R JU R Y
GRAND JURY RETURNS A TRUE
BILL AGAINST BEN PATsEY
FOR PART IN MARRIAGE.

Charged with perjury and with gu
formation of perjury respectively Ben
Patsey and John s. Farmer have been
turned by the grand jury at the time of

that Allora Farmer was of the age Of
IS years and upwards. He also is al
legged to have sworn that there was to
his knowledge no legal impeachment to
the marriage. In the Farmer indict-
ment 1t Is charged that 1t was at the
instance of the defendant that Ben
Patsey made false AFFIDAVIT as TO the
ages of the parties for whom the IL
cense was secured.

indictments are based was issued on
Thursday, December 20. Miss Hal.
sted, the daughter Of George w. Hal,

that time on was kept at home. On
Tuesday Of the next week, John s.
!, Farmer, the groom, being unable to Sc.
cure possession of his bride, filed a
habeas corpus petition. The hearing
on this followed and after a two days
trial the petition was denied. Allora
Halsted Farmer is still at her home
