absolutely no red tape Of any Kind con-
nected with It, No employee win be
called upon TO contribute. directly or in
directly. a single penny to the fund out
OF which the benefit viii be paid. There
viii be no document to be drawn up
and signed. Alt that the employee will
have TO do will be to give to the cashier
Of the branch or office at or from which
nc Is employed the name OF the bene-
fciary to whom the bounty is to be
paid. The bounty is not attachabe nor
WIN It be turned over TO his heirs or as
sins Of the beneficiary. The reason for
this is that the bounty does not belong
to the insured, but to the Company, and
can be delivered only to such person as
the employee designates by his own free
win. In other words. 1t will be mpos-
sible for anyone other than the person
named by the employee to collect the
money
we expect that the expense Of es-
tabishing this bounty OF benefit system
win be large but we believe that II Will
be money Wen invested. 1t win certainly
greatly benefit our employees, and we
believe that it will have tendency to
keep in our employ the very best class
OF working people"
SO far as known, this fs the first In
stance in which a corporation has en-
gagged itself to pay death benefits out Of
It's own treasury.
Other corporations have helped their
employees organize mutual benefit So
cieties, and have contributed funds TO
that end Some have sold stocH to their
employees and have put into operation
dividend plans of one kind or another
but this is. it is believed the only case
on record in which bounty has been
granted voluntarily and freely without
payment of any kind on the part Of It's
employees.

unanimously carried:
whereas we notice with pleasure
the commendatory mention by the
press and people ever the territory Of
our esteemed fellow citizen, Colonel
Roy HOFFMAN for the position Of
United States senator from the state
OF Oklahoma, and
Whereas. we are proud Of his citi-
aenship and Of the fight he has made
for Democratic principles. extending
over a period of time frons the first
organization OF the Democratic party
IN Oklahoma and
Whereas. we know that Colonel
Norman is and has always been an en-
thrsiastic champion and friend Of
William J. Bryan. and the advanced
political thought he represents. and
an earnest aggressive advocate of the
principles Of Democracy as expounded
by jefferson, Jackson aud Bryan. and
Whereas, we believe Colonel Hor-
man is entitled to any gift within our
party's power TO bestow
Now Therefore BE it Resolved, by
the Democratic central committee Of
Lincoln county that we mdorse the
views Of press 1oa public throughout
the territory relative to Colonel Hon
man as a proper person to represent
the state of Oklahoma ia the United
States senate, and urge him to become

support in that behalf.
J. A. BARTON,
Attest. Chairman.
G.. A. SMITH. Secretary.
Colonel Hoffman responded to the
resolution with a few graceful. but
we'll timed remarks to the end that
while he would be greatly gratified to
be elected to so important position
as United States senator and while he
greatly appreciated the confidence of
his home county, he believed that all
onice-seeking should be suspended for
the time being and all energy centered
uron the adoption of constitution
for Oklahoma that would put into oper.
alton the initiative and referendum.
That would regulate railroad rates and
that would successfully curb trusts
and combinations.
His remarks were cheered to the
echo.

PRICE MANAGEMENT ENDORSED
Test of Strength Shows the Dubuque
Man Had But Few Backers = Same
Officers Will Hold Until the British
Receiver Has Made His Report to
the Courts in Canada.

Iowa Falls, Jan. 12.-The price fac
ton won out in the Iowa Lillooet Min
ing companys annual meeting here
yesterday, defeating the Hancock ele-
merit by two and half million votes
The test came on resolution lndorslng
the Price administration and the ac-
lions of the local officials during the
last year. Hancock demanded roll
call and it resulted in such a decisive
vote that any contest was forestalled.
Hallcock's sole supporter In the meet
ing was Jacob Klemme, of Elma, Iowa.
No officers were elected. as it is UNI
derstood under British law that the
same officers must hold until the liqui-
dat,or, who has charge Of the claim and
dredge, reports to the court. The
stockholders in many Iowa cities and
towns expressed confidence in Price
and his followers, and the prevailing
opinion seems to be that the enter
prise will earn a small per cent on the
investment when freed from litigation
and harassing attacks of enemies of
the company

by friend, called upon Coroner LAM
