SHAREHOLDERSFROSTY
Difficult Work Getting Up Enthusiasm
at the Meeting of Shareholders
of Rural Telephone Co.
Buyers Announced for $4,000 Bonds
and $500 Additional Stock
Subscriptions Guaranteed.

The Redwood county rural Tele-
phone company passed thru a crisis
last Saturday. A few men having
the welfare of the company at heart
more than their own personal inter-
ests jumped into the breach of dis
cord and dissension, brought back
the dismembered sections, cemented
them together, and made its exist
ence possible until at least another
year of trial has passed away.
Over $50 stockholders were pres
ent at the meeting in the court
house hall. They commenced ar
irving early Saturday morning.
They continued to arrive until up to
2 o'clock, and their intervening
hours were absorbed by punches
here and there attempting to de-
volve some scheme whereby the
company could liquidate its indebt-
edness and permit the directors to
start anew.
Before the meeting was called to
order Cassius Fuller and Andrew
D. Stewart marched across the hall.
There was heavy applause as if
soldiers cheering their generals. A
little later Col. Clark Miller, who
has been compelled to stand the
brunt of the battle, walked to the
railing gate. There was no applause.
Ten minutes later President Gold
made his appearance. Only whistle
greeted the head of the organiza-
ton that head, who by diplomacy,
concessions, careful handling of the
reins, finally landed the craft high
and dry on the banks of another
business year.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1906-06-27

Mr.. Gold called the meeting to
order. He prefaced the actual bust
ness by telling the stockholders that
they were there to solve a financial
problem, and he thot they would
solve it satisfactorily. Clark Miller
read a statement of the financial
condition of the company, showing
resources at S45, 701.05 and liabil-
tiles, including stock, of S43, 621. ~.
The undivided profits amounted to
$2,079.33. S2,638 was allowed for
depreciation. Mr.. Miller contended
that with the unsold bonds the meet
ing must provide for an indebted
ness of about $4,000. A few uues-
tions were shot at him and he caught
all handsomely
President Gold here admitted that
the directors should not have built
certain lines, "but we acknowledge
our error. Don't criticise. We have
this condition to face and we should
do it like men," That brought ap-
plause. R. E. Fuller wassstold that
Mr.. Miller had resigned as manager,
but not as secretary, and that he
wasn't to get any salary as secre-
tary.
Here it was that Attorney Hauser
of Morgan asked whether the di-
rectors had devised plan to wipe
out the Indebtedness, whereupon
the president said they hadn't, and
that they were willing to'.listen to
suggestions. A. D. Stewart made
his initial appearance, saying that
the stockholders must wipe out the
debt. Mr.. Gold contended this to
be the most practical way, and i'm
piled that if the shareholders were
not satisfied with the directory the
members would resign, but he be-
lieved that if the holders would all
put their shoulder to the wheel the
company would soon be, on a safe
basis. Mr.. Stewart again took a
whirl at the crowd, saying that
S4 900 would be raised from unsold
bonds, leaving only $500 to be
raised by the shareholders present,
and he called for so men in the
audience to come forward and sub
scribe for two shares each. A few
subscriptions rolled in. An attempt

PRETTY HOME WEDDING.
Miss Alice Frazier and Prof. M. W.
Johnson Married.
Vesta Censor, June Attn,

A very pretty wedding took place
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H.
Frazier on Thursday, June 21st, at
10 o'clock a. M, when their daugh-
ter, Miss Alice, was united in mar
riage to Mr.. Maxwell w. Johnson,
Rev. ]. A. MacLain, pastor at this
place, officiating.
The marriage was quietly cele-
brated event, only near relatives
and few intimate friends witness
ing the ceremony. The parlor of
the Frazier residence was attractive
ly decorated, lovely flowers seeming
the air as the blessing was bestowed
upon the happy couple. The bride
entered leaning on the arm of her
father, who gave her away, pre-
coded by little Alta Johnson bearing
the ring on silver tray, and they
were met by the groom under an
arch Of ferns and roses. The rendi-
ton of the wedding march by Mrs.
Hendry added to the pleasure of the
pretty occasion.
The bride was very prettily at
tired in gown of cream silk Lans-
down and carried bouquet of

to ginger the revival was COM
menced. More talk followed. Every
now or then a pail or two of ice
water was thrown on an already
frosty audience by some man with
a hammer, and Mr.. Stewards plan
was on the verge of passing into the
forgotten. 1t was then that he
proposed that if the $1,000 was
guaranteed at that time the direct
ors would stand for one vote to a
man, regardless of the stock held,
and that all stockholders must re-
duce their holdings to 5000 each,
the company to give its second mort
gage bonds at 8 per cent, running
six years, in return for the amount
of the retired stock. H. M. Ball
protested on the second mortgage
proposition and J. P. Cooper pro-
tested against the one vote to man
plan, and then R. E. Fuller insisted
that the trap was being sprung,
that force game was on, and that
it was time to call a halt on the
banks taking advantage of the situa-
zion and attempting to force a sale
of the property of the company
The air was an ugly blue or warrish
gray. Mr.. Stewart insisted that the
game was not cut and dried and
that he was not in a scheme, and
81, 120 of new stock having already
been subscribed for he announced
that he would be one of II men to
guarantee the balance to make up
the $500. Mr.. Fuller said he would
not.
Then Mr.. Gold announced that
there was a representative OF the
Tri-State Telephone Co. at the hotel
ready to take the property of the
company dollar for dollar as soon as
the majority stockholders placed the
company on a share a vote basis,
and he thot that the only alternative.
Some one said that the Northwest
ern was willing to do likewise. This
seemed to have a good effect, for
when it was announced that Rev.
Elliott was to solicit subscriptions
for the balance of the $500 stock
some % men came forward and
guaranteed the deficiency, and then
the second mortgage issue Of 81, 900

INSURANCE INVESTIGATION.
Report of the New York Legislative
Committee.

New York.-The committee ap-
pointed at the last session of the New
York Legislature to investigate life in
surance has made its report. The re-
port Is extremely voluminous. extend
ing to 319 printed pages. II embraces
a long review of the testimony taken
by the committee and its recommenda-
tions and conclusions as to remedial
legislation. In addition there is a
CHAPTER devoted to the State Insurance
Department.
No substantial amplification of the
powers of the department seems neces-
sary. according to the committee,
which holds that most of the evils
which have been disclosed would have
been impossible had there been a Wig
orous performance of the duties al
ready laid upon the insurance depart
ment.
An amendment to the penal code Is
recommended to provide that the per
son receiving a rebate should be
equally guilty with the ore who gives
II.
In its detailed report of the investi-
cation the committee says the accounts
of the Mutual Life Insurance Company
should be thoroughly examined in or
der that the extent to which moneys
have been misapplied and the respon-
sibility for any misapplication which
may be shown may be determined.
Concerning the New York Life com
many. the committee found that It's
transactions with Andrew Hamilton
showed extraordinary abuses, and that
the statement sent from Paris by Ham
ilton was without suitable specihca'
tons.
In taking up the Equitable Life AS
surance Society, the committee tells
of the dissensions last February which
resulted in the organization of that
society and in the disclosures which
brought about the legislative inquiry.
The payment of 100000 year to
Senator Depew by the Equitable, the
committee holds, was not warranted
the testimony as to the services rem
dered by Senator Depew not appearing
to be sufficient for such payment.
The committee finds that, in spite
of the Irregularities shown, there Is
no reason to question the solvency OF
the Mutual Life company, the Ne"
York Life Insurance Company. or the
Equitable Life Assurance Company.

Proof of Presence of Skeleton In
Every Mans Closet.

The late Emerson Bennett of Phila-
delphia was in his prime the most
popular American author. He was the
star of Robert Bonner's New York
Ledger staff, and certain of his books
The Prairie Flower" and THE
Phantom of the Forest'-had circu-
lation that would be thought enormous
even now.
Mr.. Bennett was over so years old
when he died He was so unfortunate
as to have outlived his fame. Never
theless. he continued cheerful TO the
end. and in the Masonic home, where
his last days were passed his humor
was priced highly.
Mr.. Bennett often used to talk about
Robert Bonner at the home. This is
one of the Bonner stories that he
sometimes told:
Bonner one day was criticising hu-
man nature cynically. A clergyman
took up the cudgel in human natures
defense.
"There is good in all of us" he said:
more good than bad. | believe that 80
per cent of us have never done any
thing for which there is real cause to
be ashamed
Nonsense said Mr.. Bonner.
Every man has a skeleton in his
closet. You could shoot gun any
where and bring down a bad man.
"Why" he continued. warmly. 81
once knew bishop who was consider
ed the holiest man in America. A
friend of mine, by the way of a joke,
telegraphed one night to this bishop:
"'Ail is discovered. Fly at once"
Mr. Banner paused and chuckled.
"Well?" said the clergyman. impa
tiently We'll, what happened?"
"Bv morning" said Mr.. Bonner, 'the
bishop had disappeared, and he has
never been heard of since."-New Or
