GOLD BOND CONTRACTS
ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO THE MAN
AGEMENT ADOPTED A GOLD
BOND - POLICY AND
AGENTS OF
THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
Say That no Life Insurance Contract
in the Field is bo Popular
or so Profitable.
"About one year ago we began writ
ing the form of policy we denominate
our Gold Bond policy," said Mr. Robi
son, president of the Bankers' Reserve
Life Association of Omaha.
"It is a twenty payment life policy
with all the modern features so at
tractive to investors and in addition
it is a bond binding the company to
pay in gold.
"Our underwriters tell us there is
nothing in the field which pleases bus
iness people so thoroughly and they
declare it is more easily sold to in
surers of all classes than any other
form of contract offered by any com
pany.
"'the year has been a most satisfac
tory one. The western people are
awakening to the necessity of loyalty
to western institutions. They are giv
ing us a magnificent support. j
"It is becoming apparent to well in
formed financiers that the great com
bines of eastern capital, popularly
known as trusts, are largely depend
ent upon eastern life insurance com
panies for the capital with which to
finance their enterprises, popularly
called trusts.
"In other words the resources of the
great K'j insurance trust are the basis
for successfully exploiting nearly all
the other trusts of the country.
"As a matter of self-interest and
protection to local enterprises, there
fore it becomes necessary to build up
fiduciary institutions of strength in
the west.
"This explains why the Bankers Re
serve Life will go into the year 1903
with a magnificent increase of volume
of business and assets. It explains al
so why this vigorous institution is the
favorite western life company. It has
led the fight for home institutions. It
is daily receiving applications for in
surance on the lives of the leading citi
zens of the west. The best life under-
writers are joining its field staff, are
rapidly taking the positions to be
filled in Nebraska and outside states
on the liberal terms to be secured for
handling the superior policies and
plans of the
BANKERS' RESERVE LIFE,
OMAHA."
THE STAY-AT-HOME VOTER
Joaatha nigjlns has s TTord ts Say
.About Republican Methods 1st
Ills Bnllwlek
Editor Independent: The Btay-at-home
voter is getting his just share of
criticism, but is there not a. plausible
excuse for so many of our people los
ing Interest in elections? While it is
an indisputable fact that our fusion
government was a vast improvement
upon anything which the republicans
have given us for thirty years, did they
grapple with the oppressors of the
people the great corporations? Did
they use the power intrusted in their
hands to relieve an overburdened
taxed people? Did they not take their
railroad passes just as republican offi
cials had done before them? And if
they did not win kat the curses heap
ed upon the great mass of the common
people, what did they do?
If the arrogance of the railroads was
curbed in the least, men have failed
to discover that fact, many of whom
believe that it makes little difference
who hold the oflBces. There - are oth
ers thanks they are not a few, but
tens of thousands who would if need
be die for the right, if by so doing
preserve to their posterity the gov
ernment of the fathers, but some of
this class reason this way: What
show does honest government and
honest men stand in an election in the
state of Nebraska?
There are just causes for such-rea
soning, and if the criticisms of the re
creant voter was transformed into
forked lightning and aimed at the
election debauchery as practiced in
this section, the cause for corporation
triumph in Nebraska elections would
be much more truthfully and justly
presented.
In this, I can speak for my own pre
cinct from the standpoint of an eye
witness. The citizens of my town -Cambridge
pride themselves upon
having a moral, religious, temperance
town. These people are so opposed to
whisky and beer that they frequently
send out smelling committees to visit
people's houses in their absence, and
in the dead hour of night, for fear that,
some (democrat) might have a jug in
his cellar. I give these facts that the
election day program may be appreciated.
No one ever heard of a beer smell

by a citizen of the town and in a po
sition to know the facts, that one
man of the town furnished more than
$100 worth of whisky and beer for
election purposes. It is a fact known
or could have been known to all
men that every approachable man had
it presented to him not only men.
but boys 16 years old had all they
would drink. Men were stopped on
their way and near to the polling place
and led away to drink. Whisky was
freely used under a stairway of the
building in which the election was be-
ins held. One God and morality
prohibition preacher one of the chiefs
of the smelling committee got out
his horse and buggy and joined with
the whisky bottle brigade in getting
voters to the polls.
Money has been plentiful in Cam
bridge at other elections, but never so
flagrantly used as it was this year.
Money was seen paid at the door of
the building in which the election was
being held. One good republican was
hauled up and dumped at the door.
when he demanded ten dollars, and
with an oath said that he "would not
vote unless he got it." He voted. An
other one was hauled in ten miles, but
did not vote. It is presumed that he
wanted more than $10
Every voter away was given free
railroad transportation and some of
them stated five dollars to return and
vote. Five men without the ghost of
a pretext of citizenship came hundreds
of miles and voted.
It was Indiana republicans who dis
covered the modus operanda of buying
votes in "blocks of five," but I believe
that it was Cambridge republicans
who discovered the art of counting in
by "blocks of five." At least they have
known of this art for years. The non
partisan election board somewhat
dampened this ardor and frustrated
their design, but they can now get
around that obstacle,

A Word to Stay-at-Kornes
Editor Independent: The election is
over, ana win some iarmer explain
why it was necessary to raise the
freight rates? We can do so it was
because he voted the republican ticket
and the republicans were successful
in this state. The railroads know
they will have nothing to fear from a
republican legislature. The railroad
pie-eaters, aided by the votes of re
publican farmers on election day, will
now receive their reward by an ad
vance in freight rates on grain which
will cost the farmers millions of dollars.
Now, you stay-at-home fellows
could have prevented this extortion;
but you will get all you need. The
railroads say they must recover their
enormous republican campaign fund.
No doubt the button has been pushed
and the railroads know there is noth
ing to fear from the republican state
administration. They will never ov
erlook a good thing when they see it.
By additional freight rates they will
make the- farmers pay the campaign
expenses. You stay-at-home farmers
cannot blame the railroads for doing
this when they have everything their
own way. The republican farmers are
a generous lot and are always willing
to go down into' their own pockets and
dig up their hard earned dollars to
help the republican party and the cor
porations. And you stay-at-home fel
lows will help pay the fiddler this time
it is right that you should.

"Disgraceful Legislation"
The first instalment of "Disgraceful
Legislation" appeared last week in
the Auburn Granger. Mr. Dundas
preaches an excellent sermon on the
folly of partisan and sectarian likes
and dislikes, and then takes up the
matter of publishing constitutional
amendments and some past history in
connection therewith, -to show how
partisan insanity has kept a bad law
on the statute books for years. He
mentions the action of the legislature
in 1895 after Holcomb's election in
amending the law so that a republican
secretary of state might designate the
papers to publish the proposed amend
ments, and then says:
"This law should have been amend
ed in 1897 when reformers were at
the helm, but as a fusion secretary of
state had been elected it was plain to
see that the fusionists would be the
ones to take the spoils, but they lacked
votes to submit any amendment sug
gested so got none of the swag."
Mr. Dundas believes the price paid
for publication is five times too much
and that it should be cut down to
something reasonable and the publica
tion extended to many more papers
than is now the practice.
LUMPY JAW IN CATTLE
Yields Readily to Proper Treatment
with Dr. Mitchell's Lump
Jaw Cure
The best remedy for the cure of
lumpy jaw in cattle is that discovered
by Dr. Mitchell. It removes the tumor
without leaving an unsightly scar.
Cattle undergoing treatment by it do
not fan away in flesh.
It is easily applied without throw
ing the animal and one application ia
sufficient unless in bad cases of long
standing.
And moreover it is the cheapest way
of curing lump jaw as one bottle ia
enough for four to six head of ordi
nary cases.

is best used as a preventive of hog
cholera, but is very effective as a

hogs should have a can of the
