Weiidllng will be one of (he best-known and distinguished guests that have been entertained by the Hep- Iagon.

Member of Police Board Gives Out Some Straight Talk. Henry Jennings will be re-elected chief of police. He will be re-elected by the unani mous vote of the board of police corn- efforts of his opponents to find man on w hom a majority of the board could unite teems to have failc/d utter ly. and ir Is now conceded In the circle of the politically “wise and unpreju diced" that Jennings will land the plum by easy picking. There have been any number of "pos sibilities" mentioned for the place, but none. It seems, has ever passed over the threshold Into a "probability." Moit of the men named have never sought the place, and say they wouldn't take It If offered on a sliver platter. As far as Is known, not a single mem ber of the board has expreaaed himself as against Jennings, or for anybody rise who would accept' the plaoe. Un willing candidates have’ been dragged trortr fhg Iffal profession, from the courts.*from the police and other de partments of the city, from the United Btatss army, from the Insurance field, and. not satisfied with tills country*, anxious seekers for "any .man tn beat Jennings ’ have let their fertile, useful, highly cultivated and accommodating Imaginations fly thousands of miles over land and seat to the far-away Philippines. Despite which, a member of the hoard, wli> Is not put down as an en- t busIasTTc^JcftMTngir man. has thhrooyi— "I can honestly and truly say that I have never heard a single member of the board say he would vote agalnat Jenntng*. nor have 1 heard a single member express a preference over Jen nings for any mad. whether mentioned or not." There Is a possibility, of course, that man will be chosen* other than the present chief. But — Jf a vote were taken at the present time. It Is safe to say that Jennings would be re-elected without opposition —probably without discussion. This "dope" is Imbedded In a solid foundation of fact. THE EXAMINA TION t Of the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE by the Wisconsin legislative committee was the most searching and microscopic investigation to which a Life Insurance Company was ever subjected. After eleven months of relentless and determined scrutiny, conducted by mathe maticians, expert accountants and legal counsel, the com mittee were unable to find a single dishonest transaction by any officer or employee of the company, although the examination covered practically its entire history. This type of management shows itself in results to individual policyholders—giving them thte largest divi dends and the lowest metcdifTT" —I “GET RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET WRITTEN” R.
