ENDOWMENT EVER PAID.
Fifteen years ago Mr. George Gooderham, of Toronto, took i
out 15-Year Endowment Policy No. 289,421 for $J00,000, in t
the Equitable Life Assurance Society, paying an annual premium
of $8,382. Now his policy has matured and shows the follow-
ing results :
i. Cash, - - $150,847
1. Paid-up Assurance, 210,000
3. Annuity for Life, - 20,320
At the same time Mr. Gooderham took out a policy of the
same kind for the same amount and with the same pre
mium, in another company; the cash return on which was
$15,000 less than on the Equitable policy.
Here is what Mr. Gooderham says of his results:
"I have always been a strong advocate of Endowment Insurance, and about
the time I took your policy for $100,000 I placed 400,000 of Endowment pol
icies on my life in eight different companies. Of this amount 310,000 has
already matured. I have lived to see the result and to know what it mean3.
These results realized by tho Equitable are larger and more satisfactory than
than any result ever realized by me on any of my policies which have matured
to date. I may say that they are quite satisfactory, and that no company has
ever done so well for me."

ANOTHER MANIFESTO.
Democrats Show Why Duval
Can
Not Withdraw.
I. P. Campbell of Wichita, the Seventh
congressional district Populist nominee,
will be the or.e to withdraw, because
Claude Duval has given it out cold that
he will stay in the race and has publish
ed a letter in which he rejects all pro
positions lookina to his withdrawal, at
the same time rejecting Campbell's sug
gestions for a stttlt-ment of the exist
ing controversy. After considering Du
val's letter, the Democratic district cen
tral committee issued the following- ad
drss: "un April 17. 19')0, XZR Populist dele
pates and 142 Democratic delegates hav
ing been beforehand regularly chosen
for that purpcse by the ordinary party
method, met at Great Bend, Kan., to
nominate a fusion candidate for con
gress, of the votes of these delegates
Mr. Duval on every ballot received a
majority, and on the Era! and last bal
lot, and the ballot on which Mr. Camp
i eii received the votes of sy, thus giving
Mr. Duval in the aggregate a plurality
over Mr. Campbell of 65 votes and a ma
jority over ail of 4i) votes, which we
submit in all fairness entitles Mr. Duval
on the face of the returns to be declared
the fusion nominee of the rarties repre
sented by these delegates.
wXo objection was ever made by any
one, before these conventions, to the
manner of representation governing
their make-up. until aftr the delegates
thereto were elected, had assembled and
had cast their votes. No taint of cor
ruption, no charge of dishonesty ha3
ev-r be-n hinted at. much less mad",
v. ith reference to the delegates or any
of them, who composed either of the
Great 15end conventions.
"Their action at Great Bend speaks
for itself, and from that action we
maintain that the fusion banner should
be carried by Claude Duval. Mr. Duval
unquestionably had the support of a
majority of the fusionists whose duty it
was to elect the fusion ist candidate, and
we now maintain that h h9 hohini
his candidacy the support of a greater '
..jo...v ..i me rusi n;scs of the district
than he had at Grat Bend
"Th result Justifies the statement
that Mr. Duval and Mr. Campbell were
the hrst and second choices repective-ly-..f
tht,a!iSeT-bl"J delegates. We sub
mit in all candor that the only manner
in which the first and second choice or
the delegates can be ascertained as be
tween Mr. Duval and Mr. Carr.nbell is
by a comparison of the aggregate num
ber of votes which were cast f.r" Mr
Duval with the aggregate numb, r" of
votes which were cast frr Mr. Camp
bell. Mr. Duval received 1C.4 votes, whi e
Mr. Campbell received v.t-.-s. A p liv
ing tills test we clearly see that Mr Du
val is the first and Mr. Campbell the
second choke of the delegates.

declared the fusion nominee.
"We notice that Mr. Campbell says in
his letter: 'These are my views as a
citizen, and not as a candidate.' We
agree with Mr. Campbell in this state
ment. Whatever views he may entertain
as a citizenare of but little consequence.
It Is only with his views as a candidate
for congress that the fusion voters of
the Seventh district are concerned.
by'1. his" corn'mf rorT neaHy" evv
county in the district it is evident that
Mr. Duval would receive a large ma
jorny cr tne votes or the delegates to
the Great Bend convention if they were
reconvened in either separate or Joint
convention; we. therefore, deem it inex
pedient and unnecessary torecall the con-

vention together for that purpose. Mr.
Duval will make the congressional race
as the fusion nominee, asking for, as he
is unquestionably entitled to, the loyal
support of all voters who believe in the
principles laid down in the national,
state and congressional platforms of the
Democratic, Populist and Silver Re
publican parties.
"With harmonious action between the
allied forces in this-district in support
of Mr. Duval, we are confident that the
Republican candidate will be over
whelmingly defeated at the November
election, and that the people of this dis
trict will be again represented in con
gress by a man who will conform his
actions to their wishes and needs, rath
er than to the wishes of the president."
WAST MORE WAGES.
About 5,000 Wood Workers Threaten
to Strike in Chicago.
Chicago, June 18. Nearly 2,000 mem
bers of the Amalgamated woodworkers
unin met last evening in secret session
to consider the refusal of the manufac
turers to enter into a new agreement
granting a 10 per cent increase of
wages. The result of the meeting will
not be officially declared before Wed
nesday but it is believed that the union
decided to strike in the event of a sec
ond refusal on the part of the manufac
turers. Between now and Wednesday a com
mittee representing the woodworkers
will communicate with the manufactur
ers and endeavor to reach an amicable
understanding on the wage question.
The present wages of the woodworkers
in Chicago, according to the manufac
turers, are higher than in any other
large city, the maximum being J2 for
nine hours work.
The manufacturers adopted resolu
tions on June 11, declaring they would
not grant the demand for an increase to
J2.20 a day and their decision resulted
in 8. referendum vote being taken by the
local unions, the proposition being on
the ratification of the proposed
agreement to take effect on July 1. The
vote is said to have been in favor of
the new agreement and a strike.
The demand for an increase of wages
comes from the employes of the plants
manufacturing st'ire and office fixtures,
numbering about 3.000 men. In the event
of i general strike of the woodworkers
fully 5,000 men would be affected.

GOLD COMING IN.
Makes London Financiers
Feel a
Little Easier.
New York, June IS. The Times' Lon
don financial correspondent cables:
The bank reserve is a little better on
the week, thanks to the return of coin
and notes from internal circulation, but
not much. In fact, it is not appreciably
stronger than at the beginning of this
year, when the bank rate was 6 per cent
and the open market was only buying
the finest paper afloat, in the neighbor
hood of 7 per cent.
The shipments of gold from New York
to Paris encouraged the directors to
look for relief from the demands for our
gold and the expected receipt of 500,
000 of metal from Russia, known to be
on the way, further encouraged them
to take the step. Even without these
gold movements it might have been ad
visable to come down, because the open
market had gradually been depressed to
a figure fully 1 per cent below the 3Vi
per cent bank rate.

SUGAR IN KANSAS.
An Important Industry Is to
Be ReiiTed.
The sugar beet industry is to be re
vived in Kansas. The Parkinson sugar
works at Fort Scott, long Idle, have
been acquired by an Iowa corporation
and the work of making sugar from
beets will be inaugurated as soon as
practicable.
While the company is preparing for
this important undertaking sorghum
syrup will be manufactured from Kan
sas cane.
The sugar beet Industry has long
been classed as an important one in
Kansas but misfortunes which attended
the early experiences had a depressing
effect upon its promoters and little or
nothing has been done in this direction
for several years.
The most important establishment for
the manufacture of sugar was the
Parkinson works at Fort Scott. This
enterprise has been idle for a long time
but the machinery is now being put in
working order, the land upon which
the plant 13 situated and the plant itself
having passed into the hands of the
Fort Scott Sugar and Sorghum Syrup
company of Ijavenport, Iowa.
The officers of the new company axe
as follows:
President L. P. Best, Davenport. la.
Vice president R. Best, Davenport.
Secretary W. C. Gunn, Fort Scotu
Treasurer R. Best.
These men own all the stock of the
new company, which is capitalized at
$60,000, cash paid up, and Si. 000 in cash
additional. An appraisement value of
the land is $35,0oO while the personal
property is valued at $22,000.
The principal liability of the company
is an encumbrance of $25,000 on the
plant and land.
The financial showing of the company,
according to documents submitted to
the attorney general today, seems to be
first class and there is no reason to pre
sume that it will not succeed.
The president of the company says:
"There is no reason why such a factory
will not pay in Kansas and we propose
to make mis one a success.
"The plant and machinery of the old
Parkinson company is all in place and
there is little improvement needed to
begin the work for which this corpora
tion is organized. The directors have
great faith in the enterprise and believe
that this state is as well adapted to
sugar making as any other, provided,
of course, care and judgment are exer
cised in the conduct of the business."
The officers of the company today
presented their application for a char
ter to the state charter board a spe
cial meeting and authority for the com
pany to do business in Kansas was at
once conferred. Being a corporation
organized in another state, the treas
urer of the company was asked for a
personal affidavit concerning the pur
poses of the organization. This was
promptly furnished and states that the
company proposes to at once engage- in
the making of sorghum, to be followed

"Wants to Be Present When "Water
"Works Question Is Discussed.
A meeting of the Commercial club has
been called for tonight to discuss the
waterworks question.
Mayor Drew is not pleased with the
idea of the Commercial club holding a
meeting to discuss the waterworks
question, and as a member of the club,
protests against it because the city
council meets tonight and it will be
impossible for any of the city council
to be there and present their side of
the controversy. He said that as soon
as he got the plans and estimates for
the city water plant he would be will
ing to go before the club and tell his
side of the story. The plans will not be
ready before July 1.
The mayor has reports from various
cities which own their water plants
and they all show that since the plants
have come under city control they have
been cheaper and have given better
service. Among the reports are those
from Springfield, 111., Kansas City,
Chanute. Kansas, and Newark. N. J.
Mayor Drew says the club should ar
range to have the question, which is of
vital importance to the city, brought
up some night when both sides of the
question could be heard.
NEW G0VERX3IENT SHIPS.
Spirited Contest to Secure the "Work
by Building Firms.
"Washington. June 18. Great interest
is shown by shipbuilders in the prospec
tive competition for contracts for the
new warships Besides the Cramps,
L'nion Iron Works and the Newport
News company, the Neafie and Levy
Ship and Kngine company and the New
York Shipbuilding company are ex
pected to enter the competition. There
are five battleships and six armored
cruisers to be built, and with these
firms Interested no doubt is expressed
that the bids wiil be as low as they
think they can safely go.
There will be a large number of bid
ders for contracts for the three pro
tected cruisers to be constructed. The
Wiiiiam R. Trigg company of Rich
mond, Va., the Bath Iron Works, Lewis
Nixon of Klizabeth. N. J., and other
firms, are expected to compete for these
contracts.
The circular prescribing the armor
for the new vessels will be issued today.
It will invite bids on contracts for 35.
700 tons of armor. Bids will be opened
at the navy department on August 10.
Rear Admiral O'Neil says that the cir
cular will not call for Krupp armor,
but armor of best quality, so that
