Then followed rapidly the American
Temperance Union, tho Washington
movement in which conspicuousy figured
the eloquent agitator John b. Cough. The
Sons Of Temperance, the Rechabtes, in
troduced from England, the Good Samar-
tans, and the Good Trmplars. All these
had for tieir main purpose the enact
ment of laws enforcing prohibition,
The civil War checked the efforts of
these organizations, the nations atten-
ton being heiu by more serious problems,
and also a little later by the introduce
ton of German beer which soon came
to be the popular drink
In 1872 came the Womans Temperance
Crusade, carried on in the central and
middle western States. Commendable in
it's aims, it became grotesquc because
of the met hods adopted, and 1t is ques-
tionable whether il accomplished any di-
rect and lasting results. Nevertheless out
of the srotcsqucness grew the greatest
temperance organization the world has
ever seen, the Woman's Christian Tenn
perancc Union, which has extended it's
Influence in nearly every city of the United
States. and nearly every country in the
world. It's first work was in reforming
drunkardS, later il dealt more with pre-
vention, especially lcsisla dion and child
training. 1t is powerful organization,
displaying the labors of many influential
and Jealous people, and controlling large
Sums OF money for its maintenance and
progress. Its aims are unauestionabiy
good. It's efforts are in a large degree
matters of experiment thus far but the
results. imperfectly as they can be meas
ured demand our respectful attention and
esteem.

INSURANCE
BUSINESS
AGENT CAMPBELL DISCUSSES 1T
AT MEETING OF LARAMIE
LITERARY CLUB.
Explained Some of the Methods Used
by the Leading Companies and
Contended That Salaries Paid Of.
ficiaIs Was in Keeping With Re-
sponsibiIity of Wise Management.

The talk given last night by George
Campbell before the Laramie Literary
club, upon the subject of life insur-
ance, was one of the most interesting
that the club has had the pleasure of
listening to. There was a good attend
ance of members, and the interest
taken in the subject was evidenced by
the fact that at the conclusion of his
talk Mr.. Campbell was kept busy for
half an hour answering the questions
p%ropounded to him by the members.
George Patterson was appointed chair
man for the literary program and A.
n. Hasenkamp as critic for the
evening. DR.. Delaney was elected to
membership in the club.
Used Diagrams.
Mr.. Campbell illustrated his talk by
the help of diagrams, which showed in
a graphic maner the method of calcu-
lation which is used by all insurance
companies in fixing the premiums
which they charge. He took as the
basis of his calculations the problem
of insuring 1000 persons for five
years, and then showed, after the NOR
tality as computed from the observa-
tions of no years has been allowed for,
how numerous other factors, such as
interest on reserve, variations of NOR
tally from the tables, variations aus.
ed by fresh risks, profit or loss from
securities, lapses of policies and the
variation of the policies themselves.
The loading" deemed necessary by
the various companies to allow for all
variations, differs as much as from s
to 33 1-3 per cent. Mr.. Campbell ex-
planned how the dividends accrue from
excess of interest, saving on mortality,
profit IN new risks and profit on the
loading and surrender charges"
As to Large Salaries.
One of the questions put to the
speaker was as to whether he consid-
cred the large salaries paid TO the
presidents of the great companies as
justifiable, to which he replied that in
view of the earnings of other profess
sional men, who had nothing of the
enormous responsibilities involved by
the handling of hundreds of millions
of money, he considered that a large
salary was in keeping with an econom-
ical management. In answer to other
questions, Mr.. Campbell stated that
the recent Investigations of life insur-
ance and the rigorous laws passed by
several of the states would have a
beneficial effect.
The Next Program.
The dicussion filled up all of the
time of the club, and N. E. Rogers was
not called upon for his address upon
personal experiences. Will McMurray
of the program committee announced
that at the next meeting w. H. Frazee
is to talk upon a topic not yet chosen
and A. N. Hasenkamp is to introduce
a current topic.

CANNOT Prove IT ON HIM
Man Charged with Stealing Bonds
and Jewelry Is Likely to
Go Aquit

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 5.-It was
the mmendation of Prosecuting At
torney John S. Pullman in the city
court that a nolle PROSE- be entered
in the case Of George ". CoraWeu. the
eX-tleasurer OF the Wheeler 4 Wilson
Manufacturing company, who was ar
rested a few days ago on the cha1g3 of
theft of bonds ana JeWelry from Mrs
Gilbert A. Lump1in, wife of a former
partner in the finn of Arnold & Co.. Of
ST. Louis, which was prosecuted by the
federal government because Of ALLEGED
get-rich-quick' methods Of business.
Pullman said he is certain that no
convincing evidence Of guilt can be
brought against the defendant. He
added that he submitted all the evil
dence brought him by the police to
State Attorney Samuel Fessenden. and
the latter is Of the opinion that it would
not be possible to get a conviction be-
fore a jury.
Pullman said that apparently there
wa SnO more evidence to be secured.
The United States registered bonds
which were taken are to be returned
within twenty-four hours by a third
party, whose identity is unknown to
him, he said, and Mrs. Lumpkin would
then be loser only of a certain number
Of articles of jewelry. The court or
dered continuance of the hearing, but
it is expected that Cornwell will be re-
leased. No reduction of his bonds was
made, however.

HE WAS A BAD CITIZEN
Had Five Loaded Revolvers on His
Person and Six in His House
He Is Dead Now.

Scranton, Pa, Jan. John A.
Brown died in a hospital here as the
result of a fight with detectives at
Tobyhanna. Brown was suspected of
having robbed JON Carr's store at
GOuldsboro on Christmas night, and de-
tectives were sent to Tobyhanna to ar
rest him. When Brown learned the mis-
sion of the officers he showed fight and
attempted to kill Adam Deter, whom
he said had betrayed him. The bullet
missed Deter and lodged IN the arm
of Charles Beggs, one of the detectives.
Detective Whipple drew his revolver
and shot Brown. 1t is believed by the
detectives that the name of Brown is
assumed. The man is a stranger in this
section, and the officers say he was
probably sojuOrning in the POcono re-
gion until some robbery in which he
had taken part had been forgotten.
Brown had five loaded revolvers on his
person and half a dozen others were
foHnd in the house where he was az
rested.

Peace by Christmas.
Moscow, Jan. 5.-"Against the brilli-
ant conduct of the troops and police
the resistance of the insurgents in
Moscow has been shattered. The legionS
have been dispersed and are fleeing in
disorder. Many of their chiefs have
been arrested and the others have fed
far and wide" With these words Gov
ernor General DOubassoff begins a long
account of the rising here which he
has issued here. Continuing the ac-
count says:
Though organized revolt has been
crushed some of the most desperate
fanatics remain and continue to fire
on the troops. l cannot suffer the
shadow of this terror to hang over the
people during the joyful Christmas
festival. | have therefore given posi-
tive orders that by Christmas eve
next Saturday, according to the Rus
sian calendarl every quarter of the
city must be swept clean of the last
traces of revolution, and l have called
on the peaceful part of the population
for its cooperation in running down
til erevolutonists and in restoring tram
guilty"
The governor general justifies the ac-
ton of the police and military, and
says that the operations of the artil-
lerymen were much hampered by the
care taken to preserve the lives and
the dwellings Of peaceful citizens. The
operations, he says, We're suspended
for one whole day for the purpose of
permitting the removal of women and
children from the quarter in which the
rebels were strongest.
He charges that the accusations of
unnecessary cruelty brought by the
newspapers against the troops were
evidently intendedTto compromise the
army and to rupture the bonds unit
ing the army with the nation, and that
therefore they are unworthy of refuta-

HORROR IN A COAL MINE
Three White Men and Eighteen Ne
grOes Inst ntly lied by All Explo
sion a " est Virginia.

BluefelGs, w. Va, Jan. 5.-Twenty-
one miners in tie Coaldale company's
shaft at Coaldale, w. Va, were prola-
bly, instantly killed ky an explosion in
the mine There were three white men
and eighteen colored men entonaL ell,
and no hope is held out that any Of
them escaped death. The fans, mn
ing cars, and most Of the property
used in the mines are supposed TO have
been blown TO pieces. A body Of one of
the miners was discovered some hum
dred feet away from the mine entry,
SO mutilated that he is unrecOgniZable.
All hope Of recovering alive the en-
tombed miners has been shattered by
the pouring forth Of gases from the
different entries. If the twenty-One
men were not all killed instantly by
the explosion, it is believed that they
must have succumbed to the great ac>
emulation of gas following the eXplo-
sion. No attempt at rescue can be
made for twelve or fifteen hours.
