Manchester-payenport 1nterurban.

The Davenport Times has the fol.
lowing to say in regard to the re
cent meeting held at Davenport for
the purpose Of promoting the pro-
posed railroad from Davenport to
Manchester:
"Several business men represent
ing the proposed interurban line be-
treen Davenport and Manchester are
with business men at the
Commercial club this afternoon with
the view of organizing to secure pre-
liminary surveys, right of way and
other things needful for the build
ing of the line.
"The men who came to Davenport
on the project are: j. E. Voorhees,
and j. 7. Lannigan of Monticello,
Rev. M. S. Murphy of Castle Grove,
L. Matthews of Manchester, 7. b.
Miller of Stanwood, A. O. Cole Of
DIN and Geo. Escher Of Upton.
1.-THE facts as represented to the
Commercial club members by the
party today are these: The line has
been surveyed part of the way, a
right Of way has been secured to
Lime City, town about twenty-five
miles from Davenport. the proposed
line is 10 miles long, such right OF
way as has been secured has been
bv individual as formed, pro-
position has been secured whereby
the new company could secure by
lease or traffic arrangement the M.
& o. lire from Manchester to Onei-
da.
"What the gentlemen who were
here today now want is that Daven-
port business men aid in forming a
company that will take up the active
work of securing the line. 1t is
claimed that the project is a very
feasible one and that the interurban
road runs through one of the best
parts Of the state and that if financed
right would be placed on paying
basis from the start.
"All of the gentlemen who came
to Davenport today were enthusiast
tic over the proposition and every
one of them were confident that the
line should be built, would be built
and would be paying proposition
from the outset.
1T was stated by some of the
gentlemen that an engineer had been
secured from Dubuque who had sur
veyed portion Of the line and had
estimated that it would not cost over
$1,000 mile to build it through
that portion of the way where the
survey was made.
"As far as Lime City the right of
way has practically been laid out
but from that town in the gentlemen
have not yet decided which is the
most feasible route to take.
Another question that was dis
cussed was the possibility of getting
into Davenport if the line should be
built and Henry Vollmer assured
them that he believed all the coun-
Gil asked was that the track be built
to the city limits when an entrance
to the city would be quickly grant
ed.
George w. Baker of Davenport,
stated that as near as he could as
pertain the project was O good one
and il company was formed he
thought the matter should be taken
up Immediately and something done
He stated that the interurban would
cross five or six trunk lines and that
every one of these would act as feed
ers to the interurban.

a fine educational effect. There is a
great moral force in the existence Of
a law condemning and Furnishing a

salaries are not large enough to
warrant them while guarding

nent letters, and TINS is what l said TO
him:
My Dear Sir: Some years ago, in a
moment Of sanity, got measured for a
tifteen-payment life policy in your COM
pany. The policy had a fifteen year
dividend period in it, and several op-
tions at the end of that time. This is
about all l remember regarding the
policy, except that l was obliged to
settle my premium. I remember this,
because | always wanted that money
to pay the coal bill with, and I wished
| had got insured in the summer, or
some season when l didn't need any
money. For fifteen years this incubus
hung over me, and then there was a
CLEAN of sunshine through the cloud.
In looking over the options l saw one
marked cash dividend, $6s9.5O, leav-
ing my policy full paid, with dividend
coming every year as long as live.
Fearing that some one else would take
that S6s95O if l didn't, took it.

ance anyway. | had my life insured

of my dying the company died. | re-
member this very distinctly, because |

believe in life insurance. The only
trouble is. l wasn't converted early
enough. A young man ought to begin
to buy life insurance when he buys his
first razor. l had worn out several be-
fore | caught on to that fact.
Trusting that your business in this
section will increase and prosper am,
very truly, etc.
My motto has always been to make
people happy if could do so at no ex-
pense to myself by saying pleasant
word. You know the poet beautifully
expresses this same idea when he says,
ga little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or tear,
Has often healed heart that's broken,
And made friend sincere"
but time and time again I have found
that it didn't work as l intended, but
something like this,
My little word in kindness spoken,
My motion or my tear,
Would so enrage my downcast friend,
He'd cut me dead for year.
Shortly after my return from New
York l received letter from a Maine
Club in far west city asking me to
address it, and 1 sent the following
reply.

or not Mr. Law and his assistants in
the New York Life board of inspectors
remember now finding the alidavits
placed in the boxes in question is quite
immaterial. The fact that they were
made and deposited is entirely proof
enough.
Mr.. Scrngham further attributed the
arrest of himself and his associates TO
those interested in defeating the OBJ
iects of the International Policyholders
committee.
Mr. Scrugham later denied that he
gave orders to three women clerks to
attempt to initiate the handwriting Of
policyholders in addressing the en-.
vclopes for the 100 ballots. He said
that Mrs. Frances Goldsmith, who ap-
peared to have given the District At
toruey the information, was discharged
three weeks before the polls closed and
had no difficulty in getting a position
with the New York Life.
Thirty girls who were employed by
the International Policyholders' COM
nittee were subpoenaed today, direct
ing them to appear at the District
Attorney s office. They will be exam
ined with regard to the records of the
office which were torn up.
