Poee-Y HOLDERS TO FIGHT.
seouri' ~ y qautua! Life Insurance Com

Binga ton. N. Y, Aug. A sem
sation .ooI, created in this city today
when L. saca1ne known that about
thirty o. old policy holders OF the
Security ltual Life Insurance Com
pany ha, act secretly in the office OF
w. w. l. ley. prominent attorney,
for the Expose of considering plans
to fight increase in rates on the old
assessme. policies of the company.
Attorne'on'arley spoke at length up
on what pa said were the legal rights
of the potea' holders and maintained
that chargpohike those brought against
the Equator Life Assurance Society's
managemei ~ could rightfully be made
against TIL Security Mutual. DR.. e.
l.. Benneths 20 made an extended adj
dress, duri@r the course of which he
condemned I'll e methods employed by
the securit s,urrompany toward its old
policy hold.
Attorney !, riley was empowered to
issue a CALI pr signers to a petition
to the legislature Investigating COM
mittee asking that body to investigate
the Security Mutual.
When the Security Mutual was Or
ganized it Was an assessment COM
pany The policies provided that the
rates could not be materially increased
unless Acknowledgements arose. But
when the company was reorganized
some year age the assessments on the
old policies Were greatly increased. In
fact they weia made so costly that
most of the OLD members have allowed
their policies to lapse. or have meas
ures taken to siglt the increase.
Attorney Farly's father, William
Farley, has brought a suit in the city
court to recover IN his policy, which
is among those a question. On the
result OF this put will depend. it is
said, the decision of many other old
time policy holfes as to whether
they will allow tleir policies to lapse
or will make )ftht in the courts to
recover on them.l

girl of George A. Eyler, Cumberland,
Md. He writes: AT the age of II
months, our little girl was in declining
health, with serious throat trouble. and
two physicians gave her up. We were
almost in despair, when we resolved to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds. The first
bottle gave relief. After taking four
bottles she was cured, and is now in
perfect health. Never fails to relieve

A box of small paper clips will be

The salvation Of older children Is q

Much of the interest Of the family
holiday depends upon whether the par

history and the like. If they know
about tides, winds, rocks and sand,
trees and flowers, they are able to keep

Beautiful flowers that abound in most
places in the country are often sent
to the stay at homes and little knowl-
edge of when and what to pick and
how to pack them may not come amiss.
Never pick those that are full blown.
On the other hand, they should not be
in the very early budding stage or they
may not come out in water. Buds
three fourths blown and blooms which
are just well opened travel best and
last longest. Pick before the sun is
high and place the flowers in water in
cool place for some hours before
packing and posting or pick overnight.
leave in water and pack and send off
by the early morning post If this will
enable the flowers to reach their des-
tination the same day. If blossoms are
picked in the sun and not allowed to
drink their fill of water 1t is just a
chance if they will recover from the
harsh treatment.
And now as to packing. Choose the
box carefully with a view to the length
of the stalks of the flowers you are
sending and above all pack tightly, for
if the blossoms shift about in the box
they will surely be spoilt. I have
found it best to tie each variety of
flowers In a bunch, wrap the stalks
with damp tissue paper and then pack
the punches head to tail, sardine-wise,
and almost as tightly Do not attempt
to pack heavy blossoms, such as peonies.

YELLOW SHEETS WRECK MIND.
Reporter Slips Mental Cog and Causes
Much Excitement.

Goshen. Ind, Aug. 4.-Worn out by
the strain imposed upon him by the ex-
actions of yellow journalism. cog
slipped in the mental machinery OF
Frank Carper last night and for four or
five hours he created sensation after
sensation with a rapidity that set the
people of Goshen. Kendalville and Elk
hart wild with excitement.
Carper is young democratic politi-
clan, who refused to accept the nomin-
alton for county clerk four years ago,
and went out west to try his hand at
reporting for yellow newspaper He
contracted a severe case of yellow
journal bug, and the disease reached Its
acute stage yesterday afternoon while
he was riding on Lake Shore freight
train between here and Kendalville.
Carper ordered the conductor to stop
the train here and let him of, stating
that he was a detective employed by
the railroad company. His next step
was to register at q hotel as H. I. JAG
obs Of Cincinnati, and announce that
he was reporter for a yellow Journal
published in Chicago.
Carper began by informing two
policemen about a terrible railroad
wreck in Kendalville, sixty -eight peo-
pie killed. many injured. thugs rob the
dead and dying" He also te1ephoned
to the police department Of Elkhart
that three desperate criminals were
hiding on the freight train from which
he had alighted. AS result the police
arrested two forlorn tramps and
brought them here.
AS a final sensation Carper held up
the policemen and their prisoners with
revolver as they came into town.
Somebody took away his revolver and
he was locked up.

How to clean Ivory Hair Brushes.

Ivory backed brushes are so liable to
get soiled and spotted even with the
greatest care that many people will be
glad to know how to clean them proper
ly. Spots may be removed by the APP
plication of paste made of sawdust
slightly dampened with water and a
few drops Of lemon juice. The paste
should be laid on the ivory and allowed
to dry thoroughly. 1t can then be
brushed off.
Another plan is to dip small bit Of
damp flannel into table salt and rub
with this. If the backs of the brushes
are carved the former method will be
found the better.

Future of Iowa League In Doubt
Unless Sweeping Reductions
In Salaries Are Made
TEAMS COSTING TOO MUCH
Public Cannot Stand the Pace When
Il Has to Pay Losing Team-con-
slant Drain Becomes a Burden-Ac-
tion Will Probably Be Taken at
Fall Meeting Of the League.

The question of the future outlook
and prospects of the Iowa State
League, is one that is giving those
most interested. both financially and
otherwise, the greatest concern just at
this time. Since the recent called
meeting Of the league this question
has in some quarters superseded that
Of winning the pennant, which, while
most desirable, is a secondary consid-
eration, when the where withall to
pay the players becomes a minus
quantity. 1t requires money to sup
port a ball team, and an overabund-
ance of money is something none of
the associations of the Iowa State
League are bothered with.
One Of the chief points Of argumen.
brought out by the league meeting,
and one that was discussed freely, is
this money question and the bearing
1t will have on the leagues future.
OF the eight cities represented not one
but admitted thru its representative
that the game, both this year and last,
had been a losing venture. The league
itself is prosperous, but so much
cannot be said of the individual asso-
Citations. Just at present no less than
two or three are having a hard row
to hoe, and in one city, at least, four
enthusiasts are making good the SAL
aries of the city's players. For the
past two seasons the public has been
drained either for money to pay sub
scriptions Of popular stock or admit
lance to the games, and will it put
up again-conditions being similar to
what they have been?
TT. unanimous ooinion at the
league meeting was that it would not
less expensive basis. In those cities,
where street car corporation furnish
the larger share of the clubs working
capital, the question is not 50 difficult
a one, but where the individual be-
comes the payer the question assumes
q different phase. The average person
is strongly adverse to digging
when his team is near the bottom of
the percentage column, and in all of
the towns 1t is the same circle OF
"fans" who put up last year. and VINO
r. tked the venture again this season.
T.4ese comparatively few have become
tired paying the fiddler, especially
when it's favorite no longer is in or
near the top row.
One thing is certain the Iowa State
League teams are too expensive. and
