not to stop for further argument With

JEFFRIEs' PICTURE AT THE AUDI

With the greatest glove-contest Of history but five days off the presenta- tion of the moving pictures of James J. Jeffries is particularly appropriate. These pictures were taken on Jefries' ranch in California, and they show the undefeated champion as he is at home surrounded by his wife and family, thus proving that although person may be a pugilist by profession. he may still remain a man and respect able citizen. This picture is for We'd nesday and Thursday only, so come early and avoid the rush.

GERMAN SOCIETY Must Make Report in English, Says Insurance Commis ssioner.

. An examination of the annual report of State Insurance Commissioner T. H. Macdonald shows that a thorough investigation was made into the affairs of fraternal societies doing insurance business in this state, says The An sonia Sentinel In most instances the organizations were found to be in ex- cellent condition, although methods of Bookkeeping were frequently unsatis- factory. Visits were made to this city by the department inspectors and the books of the order of ,Hermann's Sons, of which Otto Berger served as secre- tary, for many years, overhauled. An examination o<-the finances of the or der showed them to be in good condi- ton. The insurance department or dered however. that the books be kept in English so they could be more read fly examined.
 The practice of transferring money from the mortuary fund to the expense account was forbidden, and other changes suggested in conducting the affairs of the organization.
 The expense of running the society was found to be very low and in strik- ing contrast with certain other organ izations, the state officers of which are not residents of this city.
 The number of fraternal orders do- ing business in this state is large, there being no less than fifty which reported to the insurance department.
