the Peshtigo, Wisconsin, fire of 1871
was the worst this country has expert
enced. In burned area it was little
larger than the Miramichi. but at least

fires in Michigan the total was 1000.

BAXTER MEETS SToCKMEN
District Attorney, Bartlett Richards
and w. G, COmstOck Confer on
Land Fencing Cases.

Bartlett Richards and w. G. Comstock
under indictment in the United States dis
trict court for illegally fencing large area
of public lands in Sheridan and Cheyenne
counties, with their attorney, r. S. Hail.
were in conference Monday afternoon with
District Attorney Baxter relative to the
cases against them.
The purpose Of the conference was to con-
slider the methods Of procedure Of the trial
and fix a definite date therefor. AS these
cases have been pending for several months
and new indictments were found at the
May. 1905, term of the federal grand jury
in addition to those previously found, they
will be among the very first brought to
trial in the district court But even in this
instance the hearings cannot be had until
after the adjournment of the federal grand
jury for the coming November term.
1t now begins to look as IL some of the
civil cases brought against the other cattle
men for illegal fencing in the United States
circuit court may not come 10 trial, as
there is a disposition among many OF them
to take down their fences, and in that event
the purpose of the government having been
accomplished in the removal OF the fences,
no prosecutions will ensue.
However" remarked Judge Baxter, "it
must not be understood that the govern
ment intends to abandon. in the slightest
degree the prosecution of any of these
cases, should there be any disposition or
the part Of the cattlemen to ignore the
order of the government to remove the
fences. The fences have got to come down
and there will be no temporizing In the
matter at ALL"

LIFE INSURANCE PROTECTION
Nothing Has Occurred to Change Its
standing in that one Great
Essential.

Life insurance has not yet been budged
an inch from its fundamental position as
protector Of the home. The present up
heaval began with the opening Of the cur
rent year. During the ensuing time hun
dreds Of men have taken insurance and
died and their families have received the
large sums of the policies in full on which
only the single annual premium had been
paid. Here has been signally evinced a
protection not possible in any other direc-
ton.
During the same time thousands of other
policyholders who had been insured for a
longer time have also died and the full
sums called for by their contracts have
been paid their families, unhesitatingly and
as a matter of course. The payments thus
made now run to a total of over hundred
million dollars for the present year, all
disbursed as agreed, with no dispute or
question, right through the hardest kinds
Of attacks upon certain companies and in
ferentialy upon life insurance as whole.
In what other direction could this protec-
ton to the home have had such unfailing
realization under similar circumstances?
The certainty of life insurance as pro-
lection Is further shown by the unanimous
and unqualified agreement in every quarter
that the companies are all solvent and
that every policy is sure to be met when
ever 1t falls due. To this there has been
no exception anywhere, and no matter
what stand or view the press, public men
investigators and others have otherwise
been impelled to take there has been uu'
broken concord in emphasizing the fact that
there is no insolvency in life insurance and
that. all standard policies are good fol
their full face value II kept alive unit
they duly mature.
This constitutes financial protection fol
the home, is the fundamental idea of lf,
insurance and the one thing that has
been steadfastly claimed for it from it.

City Comptroller Lobeck is trying
desperately to come to the rescue in the
matter Of the depleted police fund, which
caused thirty-fve policemen to be laid of
Sunday. He believes he has contrived a
way to help some and will ask the city
attorney for an opinion on the matter. If
the opinion is favorable the comptroller will

out all right and he is hopeful OF doing
as much for the police. Here is the way
he figures It:
The new charter provided that back
taxes iShouid go dntoAa sinking fund, in
stead Of being prorated among the current

years. When the council made the levy
