TIE MARKS OF THE BURGLAR.-There

Chinese commissioners to the various
countries, such as France, Germany

about" he told me when asked the
reason for this disapproval, "is that
such commissioners would learn how
to cook French dishes, the correct
wines to furnish with the dinner

Dear Sir
Ten years ago took with you my
first policy in the Mutual Benefit for
$4,000. The dividends were so much
greater than those OF other companies
in which was carrying my insurance
that in 1902 took $4,000 more, and
in 1905 still another policy for $4,000.
In addition to these 1 have insured my
son in your company for 100000, and
when his brother reaches an insurable
age, I want him also to carry policy.
The estimates Of dividends you gave
me when I took these various policies
have been more than exceeded in eV-
cry instance.
If there is a single dissatisfied Mu-
tual Benefit policy-holder in the state
of West Virginia, have yet to hear
Of it. On the contrary I hear the
opinion frequently expressed that 1t Is

sworn out for his arrest charging
him with embezzlement and he was
taken before Justice Gooch, who
held him to the superior court.
Mr.. Schaffer has the appearance of

not be located although he has been

tricts. The double vote offer has
struck a popular chord and subscrip-
lions are rolling in. Now is your

est number of votes today may be the
leader tomorrow, if she will but
urge her friends to help her out.

iasm which has marked the vOting
contest from the very start has not
abated or slackened for moment.

your name at once, as the days are
rapidly slipping away, and each mo-
ment counts. Only short time re-
mains, but there is plenty OF time to
jump in and win out. Do not let
others carry away these valuable
prizes without struggle, but make
~ your mind that you will be the

Sold His Fruit Ranch.

On last Saturday William Ragless
OF Quincy sold his fruit ranch on the
Columbia river ner Brays to Clark
McGinnis of this city. The ranch
contains $50 acres, and will bring
Mr.. McGinnis a nice income some
day. The price paid for the place
was $500.
Mr.. Ragless says that the only rea-
son he sold was that he is getting
100 old to start in on new fruit
ranch. Mr.. McGinnis is young
man and can well afford to put in
several years of labor before reap
ing the reward which is bound to
come.
Mr.. Ragless intends purchasing a
wheat ranch on the line of the Chi

themselves at a social dance in Dick

Professor Merritt and three other
musicians of Wenatchee furnished
the music, which as usual was all
that any lover of music could ask
for, and those who attended enjoyed
themselves to the full. Owing to
short notice, however, the dance was
not as well advertised as it other
wise would have been, and this re-
suited in a smaller crowd than usual.
