+. B. Schwentser, representing the
Conservative Life Insurance company,
of Los Angeles, is in town awaiting
the arrival of a gentlemaen who will
take the agency of the company at
Prescott. Mr.. Scbwentker is located
at Albuquerque, where he has the
general agency for the territory of
New Mexico and Arizona. The Con-
Sentative company is making rapid
strides in the life insurance business.
As its name indicates, it is cOnserva-
tive and attempts to give its policy
holders better returns than any of the
older companies. 1t is almost unfor
tunate thing that as the older compan-
les have grown rich they have grown
correspondingly extravagant. While
their business has grown to enormous
proportions their dividends have de-
creased. in other words they have al
lowed extravaganza of management to
dominate their BUSINESS, and their
policy holders are not getting what
they should out of the business in
the way OF profits.
Miss Evelyn Mannix died at the
Head House yesterday morning at
about O'Clock, after protracted i'll
ness. She came here for health from
Colorado Springs, Colorado, about
year ago, suffering from consumption.
While great sufferer she was of an
exceedingly cheerful disposition and
made friends Of all with whom she be-
came acquainted. She was native of
Springfield, Massachusetts,, where she
has two sisters residing and during
her sickness her only thought was lest
she might worry them, and charged
those about her that they should not
let them know of her condition. When
it became apparent about week or so
ago though, that she could not live
the sisters we're notified of her condi-
ton She was able to be around until
about three weeks ago, and attended
to her duties as a musician to the time
that she took to her bed. The body
was taken in charge by Il. NJ. Maus
& Co., but no arrangements have as
yet been made for the funeral, pend
ing word from her relatives.
