GEORGIA HAS ONE MAN WHO IS
INSURED FOR A MILLION DOLLARS
. NEW YORK.—There are seven
men in the United States who carry
$1,000,000 and more insurance on
their lives, two who carry $1,500,-
000 and one who carries $4,000,000.
The latter is Rodman Wanamaker of
Philadelphia, who is the most heavi
ly insured man in the world.
James B. Colgate, a stock broker
at 36 Wall street, carries more in
surance than any other resident of
New York, his policies aggregating
$1,500,000.
The millionaires and multi-million
aires of Philadelphia, in proportion
to their number, go in for life in
suranege more heavily than those of
any other city. Statistics gathered
by the Insurance Press and published
recently show that 184 residents of
Philadelphia are insured for $§33,-
ASKED WIFE FOR SPENDING MONEY
AND WAS WHACKED OVER HIS HEAD
BALTIMORE.—When Mrs. Grace
Metzler's husband went home with
his week's wages she gave him a
thrashing because he wanted more
than 20 cents spending money. Mrs.
Metzler is 19 years old. She was
fined $1 and costs by Judge Carr,
on the charge of assaulting Mrs.
Sarah Miller after the finishing
touches were put on Metzler.
Metzler is a peaceable-looking
chap, and he told his own story of
the drubbing received at the Lands
of his wife when he faced the magis
trate. He said that he delivered his
wages to Mrs. Metzler and asked her
for $l. TUntil last week he bravely
managed his private affairs with the
assistance of 20 cents every seven
days, but he found that on this
special occasion he must ask for $l.

Is the State of Illinois in the
Goming Election.
REPUBLICANS FEAR THE RESULT
The Nomination by the Democrats of
Former Vice-President Stevenson
for Governor of the State Is an
Unusually Strong One.
The nomination of former Vice-
President Stevenson for governor of
Illinois by the democrats Nelps to
put that state in the column of
doubtful states. He is popular, and
his popularity will add many votes
to the Bryan-Kern ticket. It seems
to be admitted by the republican
leaders that if any man can carry
Illinois he can. He is a good cam
paigner, and as he has been tried
in office and given satisfaction he
has a very good prospect of being
elected. In the event of his election
the chances are very much in favor
of the state’'s electoral vote going
to Mr. Bryan.
The republicans have been carry
ing Illinois for a number of years by
large majorities, They carried it
two years ago by about 145,000 ma
jority, and Mr. Roosevelt carried it
four years ago by more than 300,-
000 majority. There is a good deal
of dissatisfaction all through the
state now, however, with republican
officials and republican policies.
There is good reason for thinking
therefore that Mr. Stevenson will
get a vote that will surprise his po
litical opponents.
In Illinois, as in other middle west
states, there is a feeling that the re
publicans have been in power long
enough, and that a change would be
beneficial. This is shown in the fall
ing off in the vote for Senator Hop
kins, who was a candidate in the
primary for a renomination. The
senator has been.a power in Illinois
for years, and has done pretty much
as he pleased with the federal offices
in that state. From all accounts he
hasn’t consulted the best interests of
the people, but has looked out every
time for members of his family, his
relatives and the men who could
help to strengthen his political ma
chine. Therefore there has grown
up a feeling against him and his
party. This feeling will help Mr.
Bryan to carry the state.
000,000, while New York, with four
times as many millionaires, has 491
residents insured f r $75,000,000.
Chicago has 185 millionaires insured
for $24,000,000.
There are 5,139 men in the United
States insured for $50,000 or more,
the total of their policies aggregating
$540,967,000. There are seven in
sured for an even million each, four
insured for $BOO,OOO to $900,000;
ten for $700,000 to $800,000; two
for $600,000 to $700,000, and twen
ty-nine for $500,00v to $600,000.
There are 1,136 men who carry from
$lOO,OOO to $200,000 to $300,000
each.
Of the seven men who are insured
for $1,000,000 each, one lives in
Georgia, one in Illinois, one in Louis

sylvania and one in Wisconsin.
prised. Then she grew cool. Within
a few short moments, however, she
was hot all over. The very thought
of Metzler having more than 20
cents was more than she could stand,
and she started in to wallop him,
while he attempted to protest. Met
zler says that his wife bit him on
the arm a number of times, after
which she turned her attention to
ward their three-year-old child.
Meanwhile the neighbors became
interested, and Mrs. Miller, who
lives on the floor below, climbed up
the stairs to get a better view and
help Metzler and the baby. Mrs.
Metzler started toward Mrs. Miller
and they clinched. Biting and hair
pulling were in order for a few mo
ments until they decided to separate.
Mrs. Metzler swung backward and
grabbed a teapot, which she swung
on her husband with telling effect.

How DBryan Stands on Prohibition.
Carrie Nation is going to inflict
her presence and her questions upon
Mr. Bryan. Carrie says she is going
to force from him a positive declara

she succeeds in doing any such thing
she will prove herself a very smart
woman. Mr. Bryan has said that he
will not discuss anything that is not
in the democratic platform, and pro
hibition is not there. And he has
a way about him of refusing to_dis

THE DAWSON NEWS.
WAS PASSED BY LEGISLATURE
ON ITS LAST DAY.
It Changes and Makes More Strin
gent the Present Law in Many
Particulars.
After lengthy and heated debate
the house of representatives on the
last day of its session passed the bill
by Senator Martin making more
stringent the registration law of the
state by the decisive vote of 115
to 83.
The principal provisions of the
bill are as follows:
Section 1 requires the voters’
books to be closed six months before
the general election. This adjusts
itself to the constitutional amend
ment, which requires every one to
pay his taxes six months before the
election.
Section 2 requires that no one
shall be allowed to register unless
he actually takes the oath. This
carries out or safeguards the present
law.
Section 3 requires the tax collector
to file the voters’ list with the reg
istrars within ten days after closing
voters’ books, instead of waiting un
til twenty days before the election,
as now provided by law.
Section 4 provides that ‘the officers
whose duty it is to file with the reg
istrars the list of disqualified voters
shall file it by April 20th. instead
of July Ist., as now provided by law.
Section 5 provides that the regis
trars shall complete their work and
file the registration list by June
Ist. Under the old law they had un
til the morning of the election. It
also provides for assistant registrars
when necessary.
Section 6 gives any one the right
to challenge any name on the list
which he thinks ought not to be
there, and provides for a hearing.
This is an amendment to the present
law.
Section 7 provides that no one
shall vote unless his name is on the
list.
HIS LEG IN THE LEMONADE.
He Was Merely Stirring It When
Rudely Interfered With. ‘
That a wooden leg is not fit and
a proper instrument with which to}
stir a bowl of lemonade is the opin
ion of Nathan Wagner, a restaurantl
keeper at 215 Park Row, New York.
Wagner was dozing in his restau
rant when a breathless ragamuffin
rushed in from the street.
‘‘Say, mister,”” he cried, ‘‘dere’s a
’guy outside wat put his leg in your
lemonade.”’
Now, in front of Wagner’s place is
a stand on which he placed a large
glass bowl of lemonade to be sold at
the rate of a cent a glass. Mr. Wag
ner, therefore, was quick to get to
‘the sidewalk. To his astonishment
he saw a one-legged man leaning
against the bench and slowly stirring
the lemonade with a wooden leg,
which he had unstrapped from its
stump.
“Stop that!” yelled Wagner.
The man looked surprised, lifted
the leg from the bowl and then de
liberately struck the glass a whack
that shivered it.
“Help,” cried Wagner, just as Po
liceman Williams of the Oak street
station came along, and the police
man placed under arrest the man|
who had swung the leg. When the
man was arraigned in the Tombs po
lice court he was minus his leg. He
gave his name as James Harmon,|
and said that He had no home. i
“Why did you break the bowl?” |
asked Magistrate Kernochan. I
“] didn’t, your honor,”” Harmon
replied. “You can see for yourself
that I couldn’t have done it. I have
no wooden leg.” ;
“Indeed,” said Wagner, wrathful
ly, “and why? Because I grabbed
that leg out of your hand and threw
it into the street, and a Dago picked
it up ard put it in a bag and ran
down a side street.” |
“Well,”” said the magistrate,!
“while the police are looking for
vour leg you can rest safely on the
island. Six months.” |
