Gets Divorce from His Celebrated Wife.
decree of divorce was granted yesterday
by Judge Brill in case to which John 81.
Housel the ex-policeman from Winona and
Maggie Housel were par ties. John got the re-
lease. The case has been pending since last
November in court but in trouble it begun
last February. At that time John claims she
was inhumanely cruel to him, and declares she
tried to shoot him with revolver then and
there loaded, there being in Winona. ''If at
first you don't succeed, try, try again." She
made another trial in May, in Renville county,
and got in her work as we'll shot on Johns
ear. Then in July she took to promiscuity in
that wicked village of Minneapolis. Some of
the village constables raided house there, and
caught her, and caught man, whom they swore
was not the plaintiff in the case.
In December it was referred to VIM. L.
Kelly, ESQ.,, to take testimony, and he made
report. Judge Brill decided the inhumane
cruelty was not proved, but Minneapolis had
debauched her to such an extent, that she was
no longer fit to be the wife of John Fl. Housed.

BILLS for the regulation of freight rates On
railroads are excellent things in their way,
no doubt. There is one now before the
House, however, that is not precisely what it
is cracked up to be. While it effects reduc
ton on long distance roads, it increases the
rates very considerably on short lines. On
one road in particular it is claimed that an
increase of two hundred per cent. is effected

His farm consists of 32O acres 100 of which

turned to the old country, visited the scenes of
his youth, and contrasted his little native isle

Democratic, but the Greenback ticket helped
him out of the wilderness last fall, and, of
course, he can't go back on the little Joker. He

INSURANCE BUSINESS IN MINNESOTA
IN 1878.

HE insurance commissioner has compiled
from the statement of insurance companies
a table, showing the aggregate fire and in
land insurance business done in 1873. The
result of the years business, recapitulated,
Is as follows:
Risks written. Premiums rcd
Home Companies ..... S6S,6l7,8l9 90 S776467 90
Foreign 9,540,332 90 1912 20
Totals s...............S73,15 15s 211 90 S915579 20
Losses incurred. Losses p'd
Home Companies ........ S719,873 76 $685., ,212 62
Foreign l54,O65 60 1880 OF
Totals. ........ .........S57 S573,93s Sc Ss35,792 50
This is the worst fire record Minnesota
over presented. On referring to the last re-
port of the insurance commissioner we find
that the largest amount of losses occurring
in any one year preceding 1878 was in 1877,
the year Immediately preceding it, when
they footed up $4S7, ,5SO.79, or $395,55S.57
less than in 1878. The amount of risks
written is greater by $5,G17,28O than in
1878, and the premium receipts show an in
crease of 1927, 1860. If it had cost the
companies nothing to obtain the business of
1873, they would be little ahead in the ag-
gregate, the premium receipts showing an
excess over losses of Sill ,63994. But it
does cost something to obtain new business.
Thirty-fve per cent.,we are sssured, is low
estimate for this cost-3O per cent. of the
premium receipts. Thirty per cent. of the
total premium receipts gives us 1924, ,673.70,
which represents the expense to the COM
panies of obtaining their 1878 business in
this State. Deducting this amount from
their total gross premium receipts, we have
4O,9O55O, which represents their total net
premium receipts, and this amount deducted
from their total losses incurred, gives us
1888, ,O34.36, which represents the loss to the
companies on their business of 1878 in Min
nesota, over and above all receipts.
Heretofore Minnesota has been considered
good field for the insurance companies.
The insurance commissioners last report
shows an excess of premiums over losses in
CURED in the last six years Of $3,09G, ,S44.57,
but 1878 turned the tables on them badly.
The great excess of losses in 1878 over
previous years is very largely accounted for
by the Minneapolis mill disasters.
