In connection with its withdrawal from Texas, along with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which requires that 75% of the reserves on Texas policies shall be invested in securities of that state, which securities shall be deposited in the state and subjected to heavy taxa- tion, in addition to the large tax now imposed on life insurance premiums, the Equitable Life Assurance, Society has made public-the distribution of its assets, at the end of the second year of the new management. The Equit- able now has $10,958,000 invested in Texas, which is twice as much as the new law requires, but the manage- ment decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an injus- tice to its policyholders in other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens. The Equitable’s report shows that more than 37% of its total reserves are now invested in the southern and western states, while only, 357% of its total insurance is carried in these states. Its investments are distributed as follows: Ala., $3,099,000; Ariz., $974,000; Ark., $4,028,000; Cal., $5,- 142,000; Col., $5,222,000; Fla., $4,924,- 000; Ga., $4,048,000; Idaho, $5,197,000; Tll., $12,617,000; Ind.

Her Fiance Had Said So Himself and of Course He Knew. “People think that because I am a woman,” said Mrs. Hetty Green, “I can be imposed on; but usually they find out their mistake.” She was talking about a lawsuit wherein she had disputed her lawyer’s pill and this topic naturally led her to the topic of women’s trustfulness. “There is a case in point,” said Mrs. Green, smiling grimly, “about a young and pretty school teacher. She once asked her class for an original defi- nition of the word ‘wife.’ “‘& wife is a rib,’ said one girl. “Wives are guiding stars,’ said an- other. “‘A comforter,’ said a third. “*An inspiration,’ said a fourth. “Altogether the definitions were rather prosy and commonplace, but finally a child of eleven said: “‘& wife is a person for a man to find fault with when things go wrong.’ “‘Good!’ cried the pretty teacher, laughing. ‘Good! That is the best definition of all. The best, the truest. “But that afternoon, on the way way home from school, the little girl whose definition had so pleased, trip- ped demurely up to the teacher and said: “Are you not going to marry that tall, handsome young man I see you with nearly every night?’ “Yes, said the teacher. “Well, then, if my definition of a wife was true—’ “‘Ah, but, dear, with us nothing will ever go wrong. He says so himself.’” little Turned the Tables. In a crowd waiting for a car at Eleventh street and Grand avenue yes- terday was an old negro, who was in- clined to be discursive. Two high school boys believed they saw a chance to make fun of him, and mad eseveral remarks at whic hthey themselves Jaughed heartily. Finally one of them said: ‘You're a preacher, aren’t you, uncle?” “Yes, sah,” replied the negro, bring- ing forth the card. ‘Ahm a under- taker, too. Ah don’t wish you no bad luck, but Ah’d lak teh have yo’ busi- ness.” COFFEE COMPLEXION. Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions from Coffee. “Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. “I formerly had as fine a complex- ion as one could ask for. “When I became convinced that cof- fee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, ac- cording to directions, I liked it very much, and have since that time used it in place of coffee. “I am thankful to say I am not ner- vous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble.” Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off‘ coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in. proper quantity: Postum ‘ furnishes certain. elements: from the :natural grains from the field that Natpre uses to rebuild the nervous system and , whep that is in: good: Behe ce '| “There’s a Reason.” Read, “The Road can depend upon a: as wellead a. to Wellville,” in pkgs. FRAUDULENT USE OF MAILS CHARGE GOVERNMENT BEGINS PROSECU- TION OF WISCONSIN GRAIN AND STOCK CO. SEVEN WARRANTS SWORN OUT St. Paul, June 30.—Lewin A. Wood, president of the St, Paul Automobile club, was arraigned at 6:30 last even- ing before United States Commission- er Spencer on a charge of using the mails to defraud. He entered a plea of not guilty and was released on $5,- 000 bail to appear for a hearing at 10 o’clock next Friday. The arrest was made in connection with prosecutions commenced by tlfe government against the Wisconsin Grain and Stock company. Seven war- rants were issued on application of P. A. Ewart, assistant district attorney. The warrants were for the arrest of L. A. Wood, G. W. Wood, C. D. Phelps, as president of the Wisconsin compa- ny; M. P. Quigley, cashier and treas- urer of the company; C. T. Kelley, stock and grain buyer of the company; B. D. Tuttle, as local manager of the company, and H. P. Ernsberger, secre- tary and agent of the company in Su- perior, Wis. Quigley, Tuttle and the two Woods appeared and furnished bonds. The warrants will be served on Kelley and Phelps to-day. Inspector Ketcham Gets Busy. The cases are the direct result of numerous complaints which, it is said, have been made to the authorities that the Wisconsin Grain and Stock compa- ny was not transacting business “ac- cording to Hoyle.” The postoffice de- partment detaileé@ Inspector W. M. Ketcham of Chicago on-the case six months ago. He rounded up sixty-five complainants, who join in asserting that the methods of the company are not as represented. The dealings of the sixty-five complainants represent transactions amounting to $342,000, and it is contended by the government that the trades were fictitious. Conspired to Deceive. The contention of the government is that the defendants conspired to de- ceive and that they used the United States mails in carrying on the decep- tion. It is claimed that the statements sent to customers and purporting to be memoranda of actual sales of stock and grain were not genuine, and that there has been no actual sales of stock. It is claimed that the Superior board of trade, on which they deal, is in reality a subterfuge and that the trades supposed to be made there are merely a pretense. History of Trouble. ~ The trouble began several years ago, when the Edwards-Wood company became very active in an effort to drive the Coe Commission company out of business and later succeeded, as it did with one or two smaller con- cerns. The Edwards-Wood company then had trouble with the Chicago board of trade and with the Minneapo- lis chamber of commerce, and lost its membership in both institutions. The Wisconsin Grain and Stock com- pany was then incorporated and pur- chased the business and good will of the Edwards-Wood company. STEEL CAR PLANT FOR DULUTH. Will be Companion Concern for the Trust’s Big Steel Mill. Pittsburg, June 29. — A steel car plant to be erected at Duluth, Minn., as a companion to the new steel plant of the United States Steel corpora- tion is the next expectation. Officials of the corporation say that unless either the Pressed Car compa- ny or the Standard Steel Car company goes into the project the steel corpora- tion will erect and operate the plant itself. Officials of the Standard company say that there is no possibility of them starting the construction of an- other plant for some time. The Press- ed Steel Car company has also shied at the proposition. Having just gotten an addition to its producing capacity under way at Montreal, Canada, the directors feel that they do not care to take up another enterprise of this nature. Because of the inability to secure any definite promise, it is learned on good authority that a company which will also be a subsidiary one of the steel corporation, will be organized in the near future to finance and build the car plant.

P. 10 CONTROL MILWAUKEE} AGENT OBEYS’ INSTRUCTIONS: TO SELL BURLINGTON HOLDINGS | ADMITS HE VIOLATED THE NEW AND BUY ANOTHER ROAD IS BIG PROJECT. Chicago, July 2.—Sale of the con- troling interest in the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul road to the North- ern Pacific road is the latest project among the Western lines. It is re- ported that James J. Hill and the ma- jority stockholders of the Northern Pacific railroad have decided that it is inadvisable to continue the arrange- ment by which the Great Northern and Northern Pacific jointly own virtually all of the stock of the Burlington. Therefore the Northern Pacific will sell all its Burlington stock to the Great Northern. The proceeds will be used by the Northern Pacific in part to purchase a controlling interest in the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road. It is known to be the plan of the in- terstate commerce commission to make a thorough investigation of the relations of the Great Northern, North- ern Pacific and Burlington roads when the proceedings against the Harriman system are completed. Although the supreme court decided that the North- ern Securities company was illegal it has been a hollow victory for the gov- ment, because J. J. Hill and his allies continue to own and control jointly the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington roads. GALLERY FALLS. Accident at Sheyboygan Falls Gradu- ating Exercises.
