BURIAL ASSOCIATION SCHEME.
NEW RICHMOND RECORD. $1.00 per Year in Advance. Thursday, Dec. 13, 1900.
HOLIDAY Bn
A mutual burial institution is the latest fraternal institution, but the undertakers are opposed to the scheme. It appears that there are two or more mutual burial associations operating in the state. The object of these associations as explained by their circulars in which is given the by-laws of the association, is to provide burial by assessment payments by members of the association the amount of §100 for each member over ten years of age, and for persons under that-age a burial costing $o0. Any person between the ages of one year and seventy may become members of the association on payment of an initiation fee of 10 cents for those over ten years, and under that ago a fee of live cents. The officers of that association are president, vice president, secretary and treasurer and they constitute a board of control. On the death of a person over ten years every member over ton years shall pay eleven cents assessment, ten cents for the $100 burial and one cent for expenses of the association. On tlm death of a member under ton years the assessment shall be six cents, five of this for burial and, one cent for the expense fund. A failure to pay assessment for twenty days brings suspension. All burials shall be by the association undertaker unless the member is absent from the jurisdiction of the association when death occurs.
TO BUILD ITS OWN CARS.
An order has been received at the Monon shops at LaFayette that will virtually establish a new industry there. The car department of the shops has been devoted ever since the opening of the shops to the repair of cars. Now President McDoel has decided that cars can be built there as well as repaired, and has issued orders for the construction of sixty new freight cars of standard design. They are to be completed before spring. The machinery at the shops is designed for such work, but no attempt has been made to build new cars. There, is nothing to prevent such work being done, however, and it is possible that the Monon Road will permanently engage in the manufacture of its own cars.

At the lust meeting of the state funeral directors’ association there was severe censure voted against the scheme. It was urged that there was nothing in the enterprise to recommend it to the people. It was deemed unprofessional and unbusiness like, there being nothing to gurantee that the undertaker would fulfill his part of the agreement nor any guaranty that the undertaker would remain in the business for any term of years to furnish the burial, so that manifestly the members would have no permanent protection.

This week Judge Colliver ruled before the Putnam county bar that before a person could come into court and secure a divorce, that all costs including attorney fee, publications and whatever other charges might be connected with the case, must be paid in full before a divorce would be granted. This ruling is a commendable one on behalf of the judge. Heretofore any person could secure a divorce without paying a cent. Besides it will do away with many divorce suits.—Greencastle Democrat.

There is no safeguard to members by any deposit of funds with the auditor of the state nor any other protection to the members except the undertaker who may buy a right to the scheme and at once become the whole thing by virtue of that purchase. The first duty of the next session of the general assembly should be to legislate on mutual burial association schemes. It is imperative that it should do so and that quickly.

EXCURSION RATES.
The directors of the Montgomery county fair association met in the small court room Monday of last week and listened to reports from the various officers. The affairs of the association are shown to be in fine condition, the most pleasant feature of all being the fact that the association is now only a little over $1,000 in debt. The receipts from this year’s fair enabled the directors to liquidate about $2,000 of the old debt. The reports from the other officers were all highly satisfactory and every effort will be expended to make next year’s fair the best in the history of the association. The old board of directors on the conclusion of the reports adjourned sine die.

THE DEADLY CORN SHREDDER.
A marriage bill to be presented at the next session of the Wisconsin legislature is attracting considerable attention. The bill provides among other things that medical examiners be maintained by the state. No license to marry shall be granted to persons contemplating marriage unless they shall have received from the board a certificate setting forth that they are free from insanity, consumption and tainted blood.
NO RIGHT TO UGLINESS.
James Wray, who lives two and a quarter miles north of Odell, lost his right hand at 11:30 o’clock Monday morning. He had been operating a corn shredder owned by Mark and Horn, and was working on the Waldrip farm four miles east of Attica at the time of the accident. His hand was caught in the shredder and was torn from the arm. Drs. Case and Holly of Attica, and Dr. Green of Odell were called, and an amputation was made. Mr. Wray was then taken to his home. He has a wife and children and has always been an industrious and honest man.

A farmer in an out township put up a mean job on a hunter the other day. He had killed a fox squirrel, skinned him and stuffed his hide with loaves, then climbed a tree and nailed the dummy to a limb. Soon a hunter came along and spied the squirrel. The hunter shot at the game until his ammunition was all gone and gun ffarrel hot enough to fry spit. He then climbed up the tree and discovered the deception and then ho was so hot that ho burned a hole in his pants sliding down. But he did not take down the bait. Ho just left it there for some other fool hunter to shoot at and then sneak | townward.
No one can reasonably liope for good health unless his bowels move once each day. When this is not attended to, disorders of the stomach arise, biliousness, headache dyspepsia and piles soon follow. If you wish to avoid these ailments keep your bowels regular by taking Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets when required. They are so easy to take and mild and gentle in effect. For sale by J. W.
