Frateruat Day. "
Arrangements are now well under
way for the celebration by all of the
Fraternal Societies of the city of
Fraternal Day. This movement was
started early last winter by Mr. M.
ierome, who is the President of the
Association. Several meetings have
.been held at different times, and at
The last meeting Friday night final
.action was taken in the naming of
committies and the attention given to
other details, so that the celebration
v-will come off on the evening of Aug
i ust 3rd. It is the intention to ask all
r places of business to close at six
r o’clock on that evening, and by seven
. the ball will be well-under way. All
secret society men of the place, and
? the ladies too, are expected to turn out
; and participate in the parade. 11 is
. calculated that fully 1000 people will
be m line. A big float is to be ar
ranged to represent all the Atflilited
Orders and a number of the Orders
will arrange individual floats to take a
place in the parade. The Opera
Honse will be thrown v/ide open to
all who wish to attend the exercises,
which will consist of an address, very
likely by Major ' Boynton, of Port
Huron, Michigan, one of the leading
Fraternal men of the country. A band
will be secured, and there will be a
musical program at the Opera House
and short addresses by local people.
After the conclusion of the program
the Opera House will be cleared and
the affair will conclude with a big
dance, at which a fee of seventy.five
cents per couple will be charged.
Through the dance it is hoped to
make the day self supporting, but to
provide against any emergency the
. different orders have guaranteed that
ihes* will subscribe a certain amount
from each lodge for emeigency pur
poses. However from the interest
that is being taken in the movement
it is thought that it will not be neces
sary to draw on any of the lodges
but their guarantee will simply be
available incase needed. The move
ment has been entered into vigorous
ly by nearly all the lodges, and it is
expected that the event will be only
■tje initial one of others that will fol
low in future years.
For the past few weeks The Times
rorce has been putting in full time
in the publishing of the Special Edi
tion of this paper. The w 'rk is
practically completed, and early
next week the paper will appear. It
contains sixteen pages instead of
twelve as was originally contem
plated, and 21,000 copies have been
issued. It has required for this
work 105 new half-tone engravings,
besides the use of about seventy-five
old views. Seventy-five pounds of
• news ink has been used in the print
ing, and two and one-half tons of
print paper have been printed
84,000 impressions will have been
made on a country Campbell press,
while the folding alone has kept sev
eral persons busy. Nearly every
rpartof the county has been scoured,
v not a single town being missed.
JFbere are views from all these towns
.and a write-up of their industries
and agricultural affairs. Farm views
appear in every part of the paper.
JMost of the Edition has been sub
scribed for and delivery will be made
as fast as possible, The work has
undoubtedly been the most ex ten
sive in point of the amount of labor
• and expense involved of anything
\ that has ever been attempted by a
weekly newspaper office in northern
Wisconsin. In order to supply
everybody we have published a few
hundred extra copies, but it is ex
pected that these will not be suffic
ient to supply the demand. If you
wish some of them to send out
among your friends drop into The
Times office this week and place
your order.
A stock company will build a big
powder mill at Washburn for the
manufacture of gunpowder, dynamite
and other explosives. When that
mill is ready for business we shall
expect to hear that it has blown up
and wiped Bro. Joues of the Wash
burn Times off the earth. The

tries, but draws the line on powder
mills. —Dunn County News.
Hardly! We do not belong to the

Tiie Times took the first shot,
though with authentic news in[de

had tried a year to solve the pro
blem.
To The Public
I desire to warn the citizens of
Wisconsin against a great many tire
insurance companies that are transact
ing business in the state without any
authority and in direct violation of
the law.
The Department of Insurance re
ceives inquiries nearly every day about
companies that are not licensed to
transact business in. Wisconsin. Any
company that is willing to defy and
evade the laws of this state cannot be
trusted to settle its claims. Further
more, a policy holder having a claim
against one of these wild cat com
panies would be compelled to bring
suit against the company in the state
in which it is organized in order to
recover his claim, and the chances are
that he could collect nothing from the
company.
The laws of Wisconsin provide that
any person representing unauthorized
companies in this state, is liable to
the insured in case of loss and the
company refuses to pay it. In most
cases, however, wild cat companies
cannot secure responsible persons to
represent them, therefore, this law
does not protect the insured, for as a
rule, persons representing wild cat
companies are irresponsible and a
j udgment against them is worthless.
During the last six months, I have
heard of the following companies
transacting business in this state with
out a license;
American Trust and Insurance Cos.
of Illinois, American Underwriters of
Iltnoise, Commonwealth Insurance
Cos. of Illinois, Commonwealth Sav
ing and Insurance Cos. of Virginia,
Great Northern Insurance Cos. of
Illinois, Great Western Underwriters
Merchantile Fire Insurance
Cos. of Illinoise, National Insurance
and Investment Cos. of Delaware,
and Northern Fire Insurance Cos. of
Illinois.
These companies have no standing
in their own state and are defrauding
this stale of taxes and fees of which
this department has collected, during
the last six months, $500,000 from
duly authorized companies. It is an
injustice to authorized companies to
permit wild cat companies to transact
business in the state, and with a view
of eliminating wild cat insurance, I
appeal to the public to investigate
their insurance policies and ascertain
if the companies are authorized to
transact business in Wisconsin, by
calling on their agent and requesting
him to show his certificate of author
ity to represent the: company, unless
they are positive the agent has such
authority. Furthermore, a policy
holder accepting insurance in wild cat
companies is liable to the city, village
or town maintaining a regularly
organized fire department for the taxes
due them for the maintenance of such
department, and is guilty of violating
the laws of Wisconsin if the tax is
not paid annually to the treasurer of
the city, village or town. See section
1926, Wisconsin Statutes of 1898, as
amended by chapter 32, laws of 1899.
Yours truly,
Zeno M. Host,
Commissioner of Insurance.
