A aso.OO0 POLICY.

A short tine ago THE MIDWEST
LIFE issued a policy for $4,000 on the
life Of a prominent surgeon of Lincoln.
He elected that instead of payment being
made in one lump sum at his death that
his widow be paid in installments. which
will not be less than s18 a month as
long as she shall live.
There is a growing tendency for the
owners of large policies to provide q
life income for the beneficiary. Some
times widow Is not yersed in business
and in numerous cases her investments
have not proven satisfactory. Every
policy now isued by THE MIDWEST
LIFE gives the insured the option OF
providing a life income for the wife and
children.

the same accounts he has not been NOV
ing steadily south. but roaving north
and east. The mountainous. canyon
split. roadless country in which he is
operating adds many miles to the coun-
try he has covered as compared with its
distance on the map.
The reason for the carranza troops
moving to the border remains unex-
planned. II Is impossible even TO make
fair estimate OF the number OF men
under General Gavirs at Juarez. The
large staff at his headquarters and the
fact that new troops are arriving daily
indicate that his force is large one.
The most conservative estimate places IL
at 1000 and calculations range from that
point upward to 5000.
Kept Outside Town.
Every precaution has been taken to
prevent the facts being known. and most
OF the men are kept outside the town
among the hills. Reports from Aqua
Prieta and Ojinaga tell of Mexican rein
forcements reaching those points also
but nothing is known as to their num-
bers.
There Is no question that the serious
and growing uneasiness In FL Paso
has been sharply accumulated by the
problem which has arisen over the re-
quest OF the United States government
TO General Carranza for the use of the
Mexican railroad TO transport supplies
Americans here do not believe that Car
rama dare grant this request, especially
as it Is understood that General Funston
! proposes, II It is granted. TO take train
crews ana equipment into Mexico and
place military guards at the stations
The presence OF American soldiers or
Mexican railroads could not fail to b'
misunderstood by the poems, and 1t II
feared would be sure to provoke out
breaks.
Roads BADLY Needed.
On the other hand there are many in
dications here that the Mexican railroad
are sorely needed by the American mill
tary authorities to ship supplies to thu
troops in the field. At the present time
these supplies must go forward over a
desert and mountain trail by wagons and
mules The pressure is intensified by the
fact that almost all the forage for the
cavalry horses must be sent from the
basis as the corn and oats fed mounts
of the troopers Of the United States
could not live on the diet that will sup
port a Mexican pony.
Ominous reports are received here that
the transportation system IL already over
taxed and II is this feature of the sitGa-
ton that causes the deepest anxiety and
the most apprehension. This anxiety has
not been lessenec by the news that Car
rama has deferred the issue by a request
for more information from the Washing
ton government.
Assurances of Garcia.
At the same time Andres Garca, Cal
rama consul here and known to be in in
innate relations with the first chief.
maintains that there Is no danger OF fric-
ton over the question of the shipment Of
American army supplies over the Mexican
railroads. As long as IL was merely a
question of supplies. Mr.. Garcia said TO
day, Il was a matter OF ANAL CONSEQUENCES.
