THEY CAN NOT REFUSE.
Burial Companies That Comply With
Law May Get Charters.

At meeting Of the state charter
board, Attorney General c. c. Coleman
and Insurance Commissioner C. H
Lullng each gave verbal opinions to the
erect that the charter board can not
refuse to grant charters to the burial
associations doing business in the state
provided the associations are properly
organized and conducted. There has
oeen some disposition. it is claimed, to
d1sbar burial associations from getting
fOOthOld in the state BY refusing to
allow them charters.
The charter board took no action on
the applications for burial association
charters pending. They were all laid
over until the next meeting of the
board. The officers of these associa-
tons have been requested to furnish
the charter board with more informa-
followed.
It is almost certain, however, that
the charter board will follow the advice
OF the attorney general and insurance
superintendent and allow the burial
associations to incorporate under the
law After incorporating, they will be
admitted to transact business under the
insurance laws by the further payment
of $25.
-, Insurance Commissioner Luling said
this morning: Il can't see how, under
the law, the charter board can do
otherwise than grant the burial asso-
Citations charters, if they are prepared
10 90 a SLralR0J business,
The law distinctly provides that such
charters shall be granted. It is the
law passed in 1903. which also puts
burial associations under the super
vision of the insurance department. 1t
says in part:
Corporations may be organized I'M
der the general law relating to corpor-
atoms for the purpose of transacting
the business of burial insurance. and
may issue certificates or policies provid-
ing for defraying burial expenses, the
premium to be paid on the assassin ent
installment OF cash plan
Before beginning the transaction Of
business, such corporation shall sub
nit its harter, bylaws form of certifi-
cation or policy and general plan of
operation to the superintendent of in
surance. who, if he approve the same
shall issue certificate in writing
authorizing such corporation to trans
act the business of burial insurance ac-
cording to the general plan thus sub
mitted to and approved by him. upon
payment to him of a fee of twenty-five
dollars"
In addition to discussing the burial
association matter. the charter board
this morning granted charters to the
following new concerns:
Cofeyville Baseball association,
$1,000.

Probably there are but few readers
of the daily papers, who at the time of
the North Topeka flood In 1903, did not
hear or read of the sad afhiction which
befeIl Mrs. Annie Z. Battles of Central
avenue.
She had such a narrow escape from
death by drowning and the exposure
incident to her escape combined with
the fright and worry brought on a
stroke of paralysis Of the entire right
side. which left her a hopeless cripple.
Everything that medical skill could
do had been done to alleviate her con-
band had almost given up in despair,
but when 1t was advertised that the
Vital Magnetic Institute would prove
the power of the Boy Phenomenon by
treating the paralyzed and afflicted on
the Grand opera house stage, hope was
rekind1ed IN their hearts and she was
brought to the opera house, but with
very little faith as she had been told
that nothing in the world could ever
Those who were present that mem

stage greatly benefited and raised her
arm over her head, which she had not
been able to do before in years
So much benefit was received from
the first treatment that she visited the
Institute the following week. walking
without a crutch or cane and going up
the stairs without any assistance, and
there received another treatment, the
happy results of which not only sur
prised and gratif1ed all who know her.
but hundreds of strangers have visited
the house to congratulate the happy
family and see for themselves if she
could really walk and had the use Of
her limbs again. In fact. so many have
called to see her and would then ask
her to walk that her work has been
greatly interfered with. and it is hoped
that no more will go out of mere curfOs-
itv. unless they are really interested.
Such a wonderful Transformation
from paralyzed. cold, withered stiff and
sore limbs to one of warmth, strength,
health and increased vitality. able to
walk ard work without dragging the
foot. use of arm entirely restored, pain
and coIdness all gone-all within few
days, time-may seem too wonderful to
believe But the facts are capable Of
proof You are not asked to take any
ones word or travel far to ascerta in
the truth Right here in Topeka the
change was wrought. On Rural Route

healthy proof of this mighty magnetic

come hobbling slowly along, dragging
her paraIyzed limb, which she was IN
able to lift but is now happy and smil-

So grateful was Mrs. Battles at her
changed condition that she gave the
following statement for publication,
hoping also that it would satisfy great
many who would not consider 1t neces-

helpless Besides that I suffered the
most awful agony with pains so

These troubles brought on nervous

month when friends assisted me to the
Grand opera house. The pain was then
so great I could hardly sit still and
expected to faint every minute, but as
soon as the Boy Phenomenon put his
hands on me, all pain vanished and I
have not had a particle of pain since
That night I walked home without any

that Senator Long will not be able to
20 to Kansas to attend the Republican
state convention at Topeka on May 2.
The present condition Of the railroad

considerable of a factor, will prevent
his absence for a week. the least posi-
Bile time in which he could make the

participated in the debate, and has in

Senator Long had hoped to be able to
attend the convention. He had mar
TALLY promised to be at Topeka on May
2. He has not yet said definitely that
he cannot go, but the chances are de-
cidedly against his doing so.
Representative Campbell will take his
senatorial boom and attend the con-
vention. The rate bill, the important
thing of the session is out of the house

Chief Engineer JudeII and Harold

WILL DEVELOP MINES
Mr.. Girvin Has Something Good in
that Line Near CObre...Mr.
JudeII Will Settle in Ely

Residents of Ely who have travelled
back and forth on the Nevada Northern
railroad during the period of construc-
tion will miss two familiar figures from
Mr.. Requa's staff of assistants.
Mr.. A. Judell, the chief engineer of
the company, has retired to engage in
business in Ely. He left Wednesday
morning for San Francisco to purchase
engineering instruments and upon his
return will open Offices here. Mr. Ju-
dell supervised the construction of the
Nevada Northern from Cobre to Nc
Gill's Ranch and has been on the road
between these points almost constantly
for the past two years. The completion
of the line being now assured Mr.. Judell
feelsa liberty to leave the work in other
hands in order that he may engage in
long cherished enterprises in White Pine
and her adjoining counties. He is sue
ceeded by Mr.. George S. Dillman of
San Francisco.
With Mr.. Harold Girvin, the auditor
of the Nevada Northern, Mr.. Judell
owns group of very promising lead
and silver mines in Elko county about
ten miles from Cobre, which Mr.. Cir
vim, wins has always been interested in
mining, discovered on one of his ex
cursons into the mountains. So i'm
portant have these mining interests
become that Mr.. Girvin also has found
it necessary to sever his connection
with the railroad company and he will
retire on October to assume the mum
agement of his mines, know as the
Silver Hill group.
Mr.. Girvin has made host of friends
during his association with the Nevada
Northern and scores of Ely residents
who have been recipients of numerous
courtesies at his hands will wish him
success in his new field.
The Silver Hill mines are shipping
ore averaging So per cent in lead, with
fair values in silver.
