CONFIDENCE

10 the foundation stone of our store. The dictionary defines confidence as nrm trust or belief, self-reliance nrmness. boldness, security and full reliance. And that's just what our business Is founded upon. Without the full confidence nowadays the peo- pie will almost be afraid to purchase for fear of being cheated. But in our store we have always made conf dence our motto and have the pleas ure of enjoying the results from day to day and year to year for over 20 years right here in our native town. Everybody knows us and we know everybody, and what we sell is war ranted to be good or your money back. We have never returned the money three times in twenty years; that speaks good for the quality, doesn't 1t? The little child receives just as prompt and careful attention as older persons. Now, if you do not relish the tea or coffee you are drink ing, just purchase once at our store and pay us the same price you pay the other fellow, then you'll see the difference. This week we give one half dozen white cups and saucers with a pound of our warranted good Baking Powder, 45 cents per pound, and our tea and coffee is, as usual, the nice tasting quality, at

With total blindness and starved to
death appears to have been the fate
Of an unknown man whose dead body
was found in a lonely cabin on the
north fork Of the Clearwater river
about forty-fve miles from Iron Noun
tain. =
A diary was found beside the dead
man, and in it he had made certain
entries. noting the fact that he was
gradually losing his eyesight, the
now now almost in total darkness. A
scrawl made later would indicate that
total blindness at last fell upon him
and that he was unable to see to
write. ..
A line Of miners fuse was found
running from the cabin to the spring,
and it is supposed that the man,
realizing he would soon be unable to
see, placed the line in order that he
might be guided to the water. -,
A prospector's kit was found inside
the cabin together with about $500
worth of furs, indicating that he was
prospector and trapper. All mention
Of names had been carefully avoided
in the diary, and nothing was found
either on the person Of the dead man
or about the cabin which would give
hint as to his identity.
AS there was no food left in the
cabin, the authorities believe that the
blind man, unable to find his way to
assistance, literally starved to death

BETTER INSURANCE.
Committee Of the American Bar
Association Recommends I'm
portant Legislation.

Omaha, Aug. 14.--The report of the
American Bar association s committee
on insurance law, to be submitted to
the associations s convention in St. Paul
Aug. 29-31. has been made public by
the chairman Of the committee, Ralph
w. Breckenridge of this city. The re-
port makes the following recommends
tions:
First-That the insurance committee
be directed to draft and report to the
next annual meeting of the association
of the life companies and their policy
holders, but which shall require de-
ferred dividends on life policies, to be
biennially apportioned, credited :. and
certified to the holders Of such policies:
Second The repeal Of the so-called
reciprocal or retaliatory tax laws,
Third-The repeal of the valued pol
icy laws. as
Fourth-The creation in each state of
the office of fire marshal.
Fifth-Stricter incorporation laws in
the several states, with particular ref
erence to the capiatl stock, and stock
holders obligations in insurance COM
panies.
Sixth--The enactment Of federal
statute forbidding the use of the mails
to persons, associations, co-partnershipss
OF COTpOIdGlOuS COuuuCe1uR any h1Au VI
insurance business in the United States
who are not licensed to transact such
business by the states where such per-
sons, associations, copartnerships or
corporations are domiciled, and under
whose laws any such corporations are
created ~ -.
Seventh-The enactment of a fedora!
statute providing for the supervision OF
interstate transactions in insurance.
The report scores the bills prepared
by the Armstrong committee IN New
York as "most unscrupulous exhi'
bition of legislative unwiedom-' State
insurance departments also come in fol
sharp criticism They are said to offtel
"the most seductive opportunities fo1
fraud and graft that exist. in the United
States. The New York, Pennsylva
MIA and Minnesota departments are
specified in support of the statement.
After analyzing many supreme court
decisions with the purpose of showing
that they do not have the effect at
tributed to them by opponents Of fed
eral supervision, the report says:
"The real opposition to the fedora
| supervision Of insurance does not RES
upon the absence Of congressional
| power, but rather in the disinclinatior
to exercise it. That objection is politi
cal in character; it has no solid founda
tion.'
