PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re,
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de.
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms. with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that It
should be given thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the Encouragement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex.
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in it's report
for 1906 was strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was q
saving of over 100000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to it's total
income was 1920 in 1904, 1889 in
1905. and only 14.4S% in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy.
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,289, 73l,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and un.
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub.
stantially as it stands.

LIFE MEMBER RESIGNS:
Bulge and Collins Withdraw From
University Regents

University Regents
Stephen Collins and William Bulge
of Grand Forks, members of the North
Dakota university board of regents,
have handed in their designations to
Gov Burke. The designations were
accompanied by request that the
governor Immediately accept the
same. Gov: Burke will accept the res
ignations at once, and will shortly APP
point successors to Messrs Collins
and Bulge.
The members gave no reason for
their resignation, and Mr.. Collins did
not care to discuss the matter. Some
years ago the legislature passed bill
making Mr.. Bulge life member of
the board. This act has generally been
regarded as unconstitutional. The
board held a session earlier in the day
and awarded a contract for the con-
struction of a sewer from the univer-
sity to the city system to Lykken,
WARDROBE & Robinson at $1.30 per
foot. The cost of the sewer will be
between $4,000 and $4,000.

only criticism of it is that the tempo

Rival, Who Is Wedding Guest, Seeks
Revenge.
Two days after he was married
Tony Generous, who has a claim near
Walhalla, found himself under arrest
charged by the United States govern
ment with smuggling liquors across
the Canadian border to the detriment
of the federal exchequer.
And the marriage was the cause of
all of it. Tony has lots of friends and
planned big celebration in honor of
the event. He had. in anticipation of
the festivities, ordered from an East
Grand Forks. MIMI. dealer quantity
of refreshments, but they failed to
arrive as per schedule. Tony then, it
is alleged, leaped upon a broncho and
went into Canada. procuring there
several quarts of whisky.
The wedding was celebrated with
the proper amount of gaiety, but a
man who had been an unsuccessful
sutton of the woman who became Mrs.
Generous, and who had been a guest
at the wedding celebration, took a
mean revenge OH his rival by inform
ing the United States customs off
Gals.
AS result, before Tony had got
fairly started on the honeymoon, he
found himself prisoner of Deputy
United States Marshal Mckay. He
was taken to Pembina and arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Commy, who. after listening to his
hard luck story, permitted him to re-
turn to his bride on bail bond in the
sum of $500 being given to secure his
appearance at the next session of the
federal court

CHARACTER IN HANDcLAsPs.
A Few Notes Taken by the observant
Person.

A Few Notes Taken by the observant
Person.
Those people who clasp their hands
with two fingers between the thumb
and finger instead of the usual one
are probably very deceitful. To lay
the left hand fiat in the lap and clasp
the right firmly over is sign of OBJ
stinacy. Business capacity is shown
1t the left fingers are curved inward.
To clasp the hands together very
tightly, running the fingers down as
far as they will go, shows, it is said,
that the character is sincere, but IL
the left thumb be uppermost and the
right little finger concealed in the
left palm, secretive nature, though
not one necessarily untruthful, is de-
noted.
Thoughtfulness and consideration
'or the feelings of others are shown
if when the. elbows are placed on a
desk or table the thumb and first fin.
gers are clasped tightly A keen in.
tellect and great self-confidence are
possessed by the man who interlaces
mis- fingers and then places his hands.
Palm downward, fatty on his knees.
10 clasp the hands in the ordinary
way, with the right thumb uppermost,
shows that one is born to rule. If the
left thumb comes uppermost, the own
er is born to be ruled, says Woman's
Life. When the hands are allowed to
lie loosely on the knee, with each set
Of fingers Joined and barely touching
each other, it shows weakness Of
character and indecision.

WOULD PAY FOR STATE PROBE.
e. G. Patterson Of Bismarck Attacks
0fficials

A petition and affidavit were filed
at Bismarck by E. G. Patterson in the
supreme court looking to disbarment
proceedings against Andrew Miller,
assistant attorney general, and Asa
T. Patterson, states attorney. The
proceedings were out of the ordinary
course Of disbarment proceedings.
The petitioner makes affidavit that
both the attorneys named have been
guilty of malfeasance of their offices,
and rehearses in effect the charges
made at the time proceedings We're
sought to be instituted before Judge
same attorneys from their respective
Offices, but which, for lack of jurisdic-
tion. was thrown out o. court one by
Judge Burke and one by Judge Pol

The, petitioner in the present case
swears that he has knowledge of vio-
lations of official duty, from CONVEX
sation with persons who he says will
be offered as witnesses, and says the
charges can be proved by creditable
testimony
He asks that special investigator
be named by the supreme court. The
petitioner objects to having the mat

tee &c n" state bar association, urg-
ing that one member of the disbal
ment ~.....llttec was an attorney for
Miller and Patterson when the same
matter was previously before the dis

The petitioner also offers to pay
the expenses of the investigation and
the fee of the attorney named, but de-

HOOKS woMAN's rREssEs.
Grewsome Catch Of Red River Fish
erman at Grand Forks.


When Tom Mcmahon, a Red river
fisherman, pulled up his hook the 9TH
err day he was startled to find on it
the long tresses of woman and a
piece of lace evidently belonging to a
womans wearing apparel. Convinced
that a woman's body lay at the bottom
of the river. Mcmahon notified the
Grand Forks police. Efforts to bring
up the body failed, but will be renew
ed. Soundings satisfied the police
that body was at the bottom of the
river, but it is believed it has been
covered with sand or mud, and it will
be necessary to send diver down.
Just who the woman may be has not
been determined. Whether it means
a murder mystery or just plain case
of suicide the police are unable to say.
