S9 The chances of life Insurance have a forcible illustration In the case of Joseph Deimel, head of the Parker Furniture company of Chicago. He had been carrying $132,000 in policies for some time, and in February and March this year, largely in response to solicitations of agents, added $345,000 on the life plan. On April 27th he was killed by a Rock Island train! Life insurance is, indeed, a risk. The majority who go into it pay more than they receive. As has been said, it is a lottery, in which you must die to I win. Yet, it is not only a fair, but it is a wise provision against the chances of mortal life.—South Bend Times. The editor of the Marion Chronicle (Stand pat Rep.) is quoted as saying that “two of the congressional conventions have already demonstrated that Senator Beveridge is out of line with the sentiment of the republicans of the state.” And he likewise declares that the assumption of the Beveridgeites that Roosevelt will support their t propaganda is “absurd.” But then, according to the opinion of Mr. Beveridge’s state chairman, all of those republicans who disagree with the senator are “of no great importance.” F. M. Schirmeyer and Georke Kinzle were at Berne tdday looking after business pertaining to the Citizens' Telephone company. FOR RENT —A live room nouse in west part of city.

R. ft 1., and well known here, was very pleasantly surprised by a number of his friends who called at his home, 116 Commerce street, Grand Rapids, last Monday night to remind him that he had just passed his sixty-eighth milestone in life. Mrs. Clark was put wise as to what was to be and when the crowd arrived was equal to the occasion. Brakeman Harry Boose, in a short speech, on behalf of Bud’s friends, presented him with a handsome Ingersoll watch, with the date of his birth engraved on the back. So completely overcome was Bud that it was several minutes before he could find words to express his appreciation. Cards and dancing were enjoyed until the hour of midnight, when a dainty lunch was served, after which tEe crowd departed, wishing Bud many happy returns of the day.

Mrs. Hessert will be hostess at the next meeting. The devotional services, business and social periods, with a delicious lunch, each found their places in the enjoyment of the twenty-two in attendance at the Baptist Ladies’ Aid at the home of Mrs. Harvey Shroll Thursday afternoon. One of the business matters for consideration was the planning for a reception for the Rev Ehle and his family, who will arrive the first of June to take charge of his church here. Miss Goldie Gay entertained the Entre Nous club Thursday evening. Some brought their fancy work and sewed, while others simply chatted. In a story contest Miss Electa Glancey was awarded the prize. A romance with blanks to be filled in with the names of magazines, making a very interesting story, was the point of contest. Miss Lilah Lachot will entertain the club in two weeks. The ladies’ society of the Presbyterian church was well represented at the social at the home of Mrs. J. C. Patterson yesterday, when the May section held its first meeting and the collection for the afternoon swelled the sum in the treasury by $8.50.

On next Monday evening at the Star theater will be shown the real pictures of Theodoore Roosevelt and his party in the recent hunting trip through the jungles of Africa.

The wild beasts and their capture are shown as they actually appeared in the wilds of Africa. The films are filled with thrilling scenes and wbl be of great interest. They are shown on two films of 1,000 feet each, making a total of 2,000 feet and will be seen here positively only the one night—next Monday night. In securing these Mr. Stoneburner has shown his progressiveness and he has done so at a large expense.

(United Press Servlce.4 London, May 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The following bulletin was issued by the attending physicians to King Edward at 6 oxlock this afternoon: “The king’s condition was worse during the day and his condition at this time is critical.” (United Press Service.) London, May 6—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The following bulletin was issued here today: “King Edward passed a comparatively quiet night, but symptoms are in no wise improved." It was unofficially stated today that the inflammation of the bronchial tubes are extending and this increases the possibilities of pneumonia, w r hich at his age would likely prove fatal. Political worries, it is said, have hastened the king's collapse. The recent long fight between the Liberals and the Conservatives, and the thought that he must eventually ta<e, the deciding move, has aided his illness. Those near the throne feel the illness is serious. The throne would fall to Edward, Prince of Wales, should the king die. the abolition of the House of Lords will likely follow the death of the king. o Mrs. M. V. B. Archbold of Fort Wayne spent the day with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Edge.
