terday in a suit brought against those
two companies by attorneys repre
senting about 20,000 certificate holders
of the company in various parts of
the country, to compel the distribu

the company which amounts to more
than a million dollars. A receiver is
also asked for..
The defendants are ordered to ma'ke
an accounting and to pay over to the
receiver all. sums received from cer
tificate holders in connection with the
"safety fund." The suit is returnable

holding plan in 1867, but since the
former date has continued to collect
premiums on outstanding certificates
as if it were continuing business, it
being alleged that in 1899, the out
standing risks amounted to ninety
million dollars.
Prior to 1880, the company invented
a plan of assessment life insurance
which was designated as the "safety
fund plan," by which $3 was col

There are a few things I, as a hum

as to make certain that my vote may
be effectly placed. I am sure you will
pardon me for intruding on your val

Is the following statement composed
of tacts and truths or not?
It la Said of Judge Flak.
That in 1896 and for some years
prior thereto Hon. C. F. Templeton
was judge of the Grand Forks dis
trict, and that he became so thorough
ly impressed with the dignity and
honor of the position that he failed to
look after his political fences and that
then you, C. J. Fisk, went in, made a
canvass and Templeton lost at the
convention. Then it is said in 1900
and again in 1904 you, Fisk, made a
red-hot canvass for votes, going from
town to town, and village to village,
making almost a house to house can
vass, and that in 1906 you, Mr. Fisk:
went to Minot and sought the nomina
tion for judge at the hands of the dem
ocratic convention, which you ob
tained.
And it is said of
Kd. Enicerud
That you entered the republican con

after considerable trading you won

TO AVOID FATALITIES
Railroads to Be Furnished
With Heavy Steel Mail
Cars.
(By B. C. Sajrder.)
Aaaoclated Preaa to The Erealaic Tlaiea.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 23.—The
railway postal clerks in Washington
have drawn a lesson from the recent
serious wreck on the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad near Ivy, Va., in which
a train drawn by two engines and car
rying two postal cars, jumped the
track while running more than sixty
miles an hour. Although both postal
cars figured in the resultant smashup
they both came out practically intact,
and the half dozen or more post*)
clerks at work came out well enough
to cscape a place in the news list of
the killed and injured.
The clerks point to this as justify
ing their contention that if the govern
ment would compel the railroads to
furnish mail cars of sufficient strength
the long list of killed and wounded
railway postal clerks would be very
much cut down. They declare that
the Chesapeake & Ohio is one of the
few roads that have cars of sufficient
strength to resist the average smash
up, and that once the government com
pels the railroads to furnish staunch
mail cars the railway mail service will
cease to be such a hazardous place for
men to work. It is said that in many
of the wrecks that have occurred the
amount of registered mail destroyed
would have been sufficient to have fur
nished the train with a modern steul
car. The Erie has put on one. of these
cars and in a recent very serious
wreck it came out practically unscath
ed, and the postal clerks uninjured.

Aaaoelated Preaa to The Rvealac Tlmea.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 23.—The
railway postal clerks of the country,
of whom, there are some 15,000, are
awaiting with interest the outcome of
the appeal they have made to the post
office department for the application
of the eight-hour day principle to
them. The matter is now in the hands
of the attorney general. The railway
postal clerks declare that they are
the only employes of the government
who do not get the benefit of this
principle. They point out that the gov.
ernment has even enacted a law for
bidding contractors to work their men
on government work more than eight
hours a dav, and they say that inas
much as this Is the case, considering
that their occupation Is about the most
hazardous and nerve-racking occupa
tion there is, they of all classes are en
titled to the application of the eight
hour principle to them.
They admit that It would not. be
feasible to work In eight-hour shifts,
but say that all they ask is that
their average hours of work shall not

Some idea of the strenuousness cf

The clerks on the train leaving Wash

they muBt be ready to repeat the per

In Session at St. Louis With
Four Hundred Delegates
Present.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 23.—More thau
fourhundred delegates and alternates,
representing nearly all the states, met
in the Olympic theater today at the
opening of the seventeenth annual
convention of the National Association
of Life Underwriters. Very little bus
iness was transacted on this, the open
ing day, the time being consumed with
addresses of welcome and routine
business. Owing to the exceptional
conditions existing in the life insur
ance business at the present time
there are weighty questions to be dis
cusseJ by the underwriters," and be
fore the convention closes Thursday
much that is now being thought will
be expressed and determined.
Among life insurance men it has
been a foregone conclusion tor months
that the present convention would be
the most important in the associa
tion's history. This is due to the al
most revolutionary changes which
have overtaken life Insurance during
the present year as a result of the
eastern investigations and the pass
age of the Armstrong law in New
York. The association is virtually
facing a crisis in its history. It is be
lieved that the membership is almost
unanimously against some of the
main features of the recent New York
legislation, but just which form the
opposition will take is problematical.
Section 97, of the New York law will
likely receive much consideration.
This limits the commissions to be paid
agents and its enforcement means a*
reduction on the first year's com
mission of 90 per cent ot all agents
in the country. Another move fore
casted is an effort to amend the con
stitution, making it impossible for
any one connected with a company in
an official capacity to hold office in
the association. Supporters of this
step argue that as the association is
composed of active field men it Is
neither fair to them nor to the com-.
panles to have any but active agenti
in official capacities.
set of three or four thousand offices
to get down in the same way, so that
when they are on their train they can
tell the instant they see a letter by
what trains and through what junc
tion iwints it must be dispatched in
order to reach its destination at the
earliest possible moment. The officials
of the postoffice department have
*!-vted that all this work requires at
least two hours a day throughout the
working days of the year. Thus it will
be seen that under the present system
the clerks on the Washington and
Grensboro railway postoffice are com
pelled to put in an average of ten
hours a day including Sundays and
holidays. If they ate to have deduc
tions for Sundays and holidays as all
other government employes have, the
average will be ll.S hours for each
working day in the year.
It is a significant fact that the aver
age age of retirement from the rail
way mall service Is under fifty years,
because the strenuousness of their
work wears them out before they
reach that age.
WHY HE QUIT.

St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 23.—Rev. Wil
lard W. Bovd, who resigned from the
pastorate of the Second Baptist church
in December 1904, and soon afterward
went, abroad, recently returned and
today gave out his reason for having
left the ministry.
"It is impossible for the preacher to
preach liis convictions," said he. "The
tenuoncy of the modern fashionable
church is wholly to subserve the in
terests of the rich. That is why I
have quit the ministry."
He said he would not again accept a
regular pastorate, but would preach
whenever invited to do so, providing
he would be permitted to give ex
pression of his honest convictions.

storm which began last Friday night
still continues throughout enstom

Denver up to last night was twenty
