woOdmen Day at Broken Bow.

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Nov. A-(Special)
Owing to the moist condition Of the
streets and generally threatening weather,
the first annual Modern Woodmen log roll
ing at Broken Bow Monday and Tuesday
was not as we'll attended as il might have
been. However, those who same from the
neighboring towns were given a hearty well
come and enjoyed a thoroughly good time.
Monday was taken up principally with the
registration OF visiting Woodmen and con-
t~estants. At 1880 in the evening, a wrest-
ling match was pulled off at the opera
house between Du Cray Of Lincoln and
McNally of Fremont, for a purse Of SIS
and. a. 1t was announced on the bills, the
state championship. Du Cray won the
match in two straight fails although Nc
Nally made a very good showing. This ex-
hibition was free to all visiting woodmen.
The competitive drill, which took place
in the street Tuesday forenoon was won
by Ansley, whose team did some exception
ally fine drilling. The prize was a 800
trophy cup, donated by the citizens Of this
place. The team that wins this trophy
three times is entitled to keep it. Immedl-
ately after the presentation of the prize,
the Royal Neighbors gave an exhibition
drill and after that came the barbecue. This
was held in the old college building on
the north side, and for nearly two hours
men, women and children could be seen
walking the streets with a great piece
Of roasted ok in one hand and a generous
slab of moist bread in the other. A big
street parade took place at 1880 which was
followed by an address, at the opera house,
delivered by Consul A. r. Talbot Of Lin
coin. The evening was devoted to amuse-
ments of various kinds.

Nebraska
Auditor Goes
After Agents
Notices Served Upon Them to Appear
at Lincoln and Explain Their
Method Of Business.
lFrom a san CnrresnnndentN

From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Nov. 24-CSpeCial)-Stat Aud
itor Barton has summoned a number Of
Insurance agents to appear before him
Monday morning to show cause why their
licenses should not be revoked and the
hearing promises to be the most sensa-
tional Of its kind ever heard in the state.
The auditor has on hand a collection
Of affidavits showing that certain lnsur-
ance agents have rlchcd unsuspecting peo-
PIE out Of money ranging in amounts from
S100 up to 1000 and more.
According to the affidavits a gang Of
Insurance agents doing business in south
east Nebraska has secured large sums Of
money by representing to the persons they
we're seeking to insure that they would
make them large loans providing they
would take a policy. Instead Of signing
an application for a loan the innocent
party discovered later that he had signed
a note. Others were induced to take out
large insurance policies by the agents
promising them to make them large loans.
The affidavits show that no loans were
made. In one instance a farmer lost his
payment to bind a bargain because de
depended upon one OF the agents to raise
him money. Instead he found he had a
note to pay at the bank. In the bunch
stuck was a widow and many poor peop.e
who are in debt.
The following agents lave been cited to
appear before the auditor next Monday: e.
c. Woddell, J. w. Hawk, II. II. Pierce, H.
d. Cotton, Elmer Orr, ]. T. Akers, J. b.
Specs and F NJ. Douglas
After the agents ave told their side of
the story then the auditor probably will go
after the company, should the cases turn
out as bad as the affidavits indicate.
Following is a copy Of the notice served
on the agents:
Information has been filed to the effect
that your acts as a life insurance agent
and the methods used by you in procuring
business have beer contrary to law and the
rulings Of this department.
You are hereby commanded to appear
before Silas r. Barton, auditor of public
accounts, at Lincoln, Neb., at 10 o'clock g.
m, on Monday, November 29, 1909, to show
cause why your license or certificate o.
authority as a life insurance agent should
not be cancelled or revoked.

WATTERsoN's scALD-
ING COMMENT.

Unmitigated villainy is the only
adequate description of the anomal-
GUS conditions prevailing in Tennes-
see. The union of the proscriptive
preacher with the self-seeking poll
tician to obtain power under the tenn
perance plea recalls the days of
Cotton Mather, not the days of An
drew Jackson. Men who are so ready
to confiscate their neighbor's prop
erty would not hesitate to burn that
neighbor at the stake.
The success of the combine be-
tween the scoundrels who call them
selves democrats and the slick re-
publicans who are ripe for any deed
of shame promising party advantage,
will not in the least abate the use
of intoxicants; it will not remotely
serve the cause of God and moral
ity; but, on the contrary, it will
convert a community of free men in
to a community of slaves; it will
displace from the public spirit hon
esty and establish dishonesty; it will
promote adulteration and eXtortion;
1t will introduce the spy system as
an arm of government and permeate
and corrupt every artery of the
6ody-politic. In short, the rogues
who work it will make Tennessee
what Maine has been for nearly 60
years-what Georgia and Alabama
are fast becoming-the shrine of
fanaticism and fraud, the fortress of
higotry and outlawry, the home OF
the smuggler and the fence of the
thief.

enforced by tragedy in Tennessee.
Sumptuary legislation springs from
the spirit of intermeddling and from
the spirit of intolerance in about
equal portions. Reversing the COM

that neighbor to do as you would
have him, or kill him, or burn his
