Committee.

Washington.-The Republican mem
beFs Of the committee on territories
submitted TO the House this afternoon
the majority report on the Hamilton
joint statehood bill, which provides
Tor the admission of Oklahoma and in
dian Territory as the state Of Okla
homa, and provides Joint statehood for
New Mexico and Arizona uudsr the
name OF Arizona.
The Democrats on the committee
presented an adverse report.
The Republican report reyiegrs the
bill in detail, explaining that the CAPT
tai OF Arizona is 10 he at SAINT Fe un-
I'll 1915, and that the capital ot Okla
noma is TO be at Guthrie for the same
length OF time, when the people can
choose their capital sites witt Justice

The Democratic member Of the
committee presented nIinority report
to-day, in opposition TO the hamilton
bill
After reviewing the Resources OF
the four territories of Arizona,
New Mexico, Oklahoma and in
dian Territory, and declaring in ia
Vor of joint statehood for Oklahoma

there is no more reason for Joining

have been but few cases of its kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups OF coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night According to
the records Of the specialists OF this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and

makes the case queer one is that the

LOST EYESIGHT
Through Coffee Drinking

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves
OF the body. Personal experience with
thousands proves the general state
ment true and physicians have records
OF great numbers OF cases that add to
the testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
Ill, Register-Gazette:
DR.. William Langhorst of Aurora
has been treating one OF the queerest
cases of lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient is o. A. Leach of Beach
county, and in the last four months he
had doctored with all of the specialists
about the country and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressei
on his mind that his case is incur Ible.

EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS.
Buffalo, Elephant, Lion, Giraffe and
Others Passing Away.

Recently published translatiOns from
the German writings OF C. B. Schill-
ings, the noted African traveller and
animal photographer, have been inter
esting q good many people in this
country, says the indianapolis News.
Mr.. Schillings has an enthusiasm for
this sort of scientific investigation that
has carried him to daring lengths in
the achievement of his purpose. He
realizes that the larger animals of At
rica-the elephant, the lion. the giraffe.
etc.-are rapidly becoming extinct
that in a few more generations the
world will know them only as il now
knows the dodo; and for this reason
he has undertaken to make an accur-
ate and scientific record of their exist
ence in their native habitat To do
this he has gone into the widest parts
Of the dark continent and pnouo-
graphed these animals in their wild
state, both at night by means of fash
light and in daytime with such sun
exposures as he has been able 10 OBJ
tain. His work has been exce1lently
done, and the record is intere sting to
US, and viii be even more SO 10 those
who come after US.
With its economic usefulness il is
likely that the elephant will, in the
course of time, take the status Of the
camel in the Orient and never become
extinct But the others are doomed.
The giraffes are almost gone, the rhi-
noceros and the river horse" are be-
coming rare. and lions grow scarcer
year by year. And this is largely be-
cause of killing for sport" SomS et
these animals, TO be sure, are danger
Gus, but Africa is a large place. In
der fair and undisturbed conditions
they live to themselves and injure no
one; man goes into their territory,
slaughterbent. a good deal oftener
than the wild animals come TO him.

RinutaiI Wildcat CAUGHT.

A ringtail wildcat, an animal decid-
edly rare in northern Michigan, has
been caught by Herman Thiele, a Ne
gaunee man, in a trap set at Goose
lake. The animal has fine silky gray
fur. Though there are some black
stripes down the back, the most strik-
ing characteristic is a series OF black
stripes around the bushy tail. In this
appendage it differs radically from the
ordinary wildcat. The wildcat. like
the lynx, is possessed of a bobtail
while the ringtail cat has tail over a
foot in length and very bushy.

Monroe City Bank this time
that has been treated by his
brush and made into a lovely
business room.
The decorations are of the
Empire rocco French style,
opalescent effect blended into
greens from light to dark. The
ceiling is lovely, being treated
in floral panels. The border
down to dado liues is treated in
floral designs, the dado itself
being in green. The wood work
and counters are being grained
in harmony with the colors Of
the room.
The interior of the bank is
now all it ought to be and we
hope the exterior will in time
put on different complexion.

PLAIN BUSINESS FACTS.

Why Twenty-Year Limited Pay
ment Policy in the Southern Life
Insurance Company Will be Worth
at Maturity Several Hundred Dol
lars in Cash fore than a Policy of
the Same Kind in Some of the Old
Giant Companies of the North.
Why will Twenty Year Limited Pay
ment policy in the Southern Life In
surance Company be worth at maturity
several hundred dollars in cash more
than policy of the same kind in some
of the old Giant Companies of the North?
Simply because of the fact that the
death loss on insurance in force in these
older Northern Companies is averaging
now over $3.50 per thousand, while
the experience shows the death loss per
thousand insurance in force in these Com
panies, when they were young, not to
have exceeded an average OF $500 per
thousand for the first twenty years OF
their career. So on the mortuary saw
ing the Southern Life Insurance Com
pany, averages $3.50 less on each s. 900
of insurance in force over it's older COM
petitors.
Now, if this $50 saving should for 20
years earn six per cent. interest it would
make $500. In this item of mortuary
dividend the Southern Life can make $500
cash on Unemployment Policy per
thousand dollars over it's older Northern
competitors.
Which shall we do, save this $500
for ourselves, or let it go to Others who
neither know nor care for us?
In addition TO the above we should
not forget that the older Companies
above referred to have such large ac-
cumulations in money on account OF the
greater age of their policies that they
claim they cannot average more than
four or four and one half per cent. on
their investments. TheSouthern Life In
surance Company has younger policies,
and has SO much money as to prevent ii
from earning 6 per cent. thereon. With
the progress that is going on in the
South and the active demand for money
| it will be many years before we will
earn less than 6 per cent. on our invest
| ments.
