insurance with a Vengeance.

In the village of Mt. Pleasant, few
miles north of Minersville, Schuylkill
county, there reside thirty families all
told, and among those, over 1926, 900
worth of speculative insurance is being
carried. One man in that place, who
also holds insurance on outside parties,
paid $164 in assessments last month.
This we have from the man himself,
and was corroborated by an inspection
of the receipts. He acknowledged that
his pile was awful big, but said that he
had insurance on several who couldn't
last month. There is one man in the
town who is acting as agent for fifteen
companies, and thinks nothing of put
ting out sixty thousand dollars in poll
cies in one month. Verify, the new
industry has obtained a fearful hold on
our people, and the quicker legislation is
made to remedy the evil the better it
will be for legitimate business and the
security Of the lives of those who allow
themselves to be speculated on.

Selling the Paupers.

III
The public authorities in Hancock
county, Virginia, have a peculiar way
of Kidding themselves of the paupers for
whose maintenance they are responsible.
They have auction after the fashion Of
ante. bellum days, which Is held at
stated intervals, and at which the said
paupers are knocked down, not to the
highest but to the lowest bidder, to be
held in servitude by the successful man
for the period of one year. The object
of the bidding is to determine what
price shall he paid by the State for the
paupers disposed Of or course man
who is able-bodied will be taken at low
figure, while 1t will be necessary to pay
good round sum to get feeble old
woman out of the way.

Western Floods.

YANkTON, d. IT,, April 5.--The water
has risen to point a foot higher than
the rise.of March 90. Lower Yankton
is submerged to-day and the people have
been moved to the upper portion of the
city. No lives are imperilled, but con-
Siderable damage must result to proper
<y. Intelligence has been received to-
day from Bonhomme that out of four
teen persons ten have been rescued alive
and well. A family named Bates and
one named Haddeman are undoubtedly
drowned. Six other families are proba-
bly, lost on this side. The Green Island
people have been in part removed to
this place. No lives were lost there, but
the village iscompletely washed away
The water and ice to the depth of II
feet lie across the village site. The ice
probably choked up the channel of the
river short distance below Yaakton,
turning the great voSame of water across
the low lands on the Dakota side, and
causing it to flow eastward thirty miles
- before it re-enters the old channel at Yer
million, a point on the river bank is re-
ported carried away, with the loss of
thirty lives. This report needs confir-
nation. The river at this point is about
six miles in width. Its surface is COW
cred with broken ice. Further east a
few miles the water broadens to fifteen
miles, remaining this width without ex-
ception for forty five miles.

Missing Wealth.

Orson Shepherd, an old resident of
Tonawanda, died suddenly on March
60. He was reputed to be worth about
$4,000, his wealth being in railroad
stocks and bonds, which it was believed,
he kept in safe in his sleeping room.
He never would tell the combination of
the lock to any one. He was confined
to the house from November last, but
was not taken seriously i'll until the day
before he died. The following day the
widow and one of the executors of the
dead mans will, sent to Buffalo for
locksmith to open the safe. The me-
chanic came and accomplished his mis-
sion with some difficulty, when the
startling discovery was made that it
was empty. No trace Of the securities,
which were supposed to be largely New
York Central and Rock Island Railroad
stocks, could be found. There was
great CONSERVATION in the household
and among friends. All efforts to find
the missing fortune or even to get clue
proving fruitless, proceedings were TAX
en- to institute legal inquiry. In the
examination before Surrogate Ferris this
morning the above facts were brought
out. A bright, interesting witness was
Clarissa Strong 10 years old, who is en-
ployed in the Shepherd household as a
servant. She appears to have been ac-
quaintedlwith the affairs of Shepherd,
and, after he became an invalid, trans
acted all his business in the way of buy
Ing and selling stocks, negotiating pa
per, etc., through the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank of this city. 1t did
not appear that she knew the combina-
ton of the safe. The widow also did
not know how to unlock the safe, and
her husbands death was wholly unex-
peeteed to her.-Ei0lira Press

Old Folks In Danger.

The latest insurance sensation comes
from York, this State, where bottle of
poison was set for man of Incorporate
habits, on whose life q large amount of
insurance had been placed by specula-
tors, with view Of causing his death
and securing the fruits of their invest
ments. The Legislature should act as
promptly on Senate Bill No. 159 as it
would on the passage of measure to
stay the spread of malaria or the enact
ment of a law to punish murder. The
lives of hundreds of aged people are in
the hands of the Legislature. Will they
appreciate the trust?

Mystery Of a Fortune.

The sudden death of an eccentric,
middleaged man Ia Lower Merrion to-,
Montgomery county, on the 7th inst,
envelopes in mystery the whereabouts
of fortune OF 81 900 or $4,000. Some
time ago Mr.. Fogarty, the tenant of Mr..
Joshua Ashbridge's farm, near Bryn
Mawr, employed stranger who came to
his place as farm hand. The newcom.
er was very reticent about his antece-
dents, but 1t was learned that his name
was Ryan, that he had friends living
In Philadelphia, and in Iowa, and that
he led rowing life, going from place to
place over the whole country, picking
up work wherever he could.
Last Thursday Mr.. Ryan was sudden
ly taken Ill, and after lingering until
Sunday died. His burial took place
Tuesday from the house OF Mr.. Fog
arty. About an hour before his death
the deceased asked that scrivener be
sent for to draw up will. The request
was complied with and the legal docu-
ment was duly prepared and executed,
In which he bequeathed to his Iowa
and Philadelphia friends various sums
of money aggregating $1,000 or 5000.
Every one in the room was amazed at
the wealth of the supposed INDECENT
Ryan, and he was asked where the
money was. Knickerbocker," gasped
he, suddenly sinking back on his pillow,
and before he could utter another word
the spark of life had fled. The where
abouts of the money is deep mystery,
but communication will be held with
the legatees named in the will, and
other efforts will be made to discover
where the money is deposited or in
vested.

Floods In Europe.

LONDON, April GA correspondent
at Madrid says the sum of e1GOO will be
sent as the first instalment of relief for
the people of the flooded districts on the
Guadalquiver. A large body of engi-
neers will also be dispatched to the scene.
1t is stated that 10000 persons are in
want of provisions in the flooded dis
tricts. The damage is estimated at e2OO,
900.
A dispatch from Seville, dated five
o'clock Monday evening, says: "The
inhabitants of the Triana suburb are
being rescued in boats from the first
floor windows of their houses, except
some who prefer to remain at home. 1t
isstill raining.'
From the towers of Seville Cathedral
the country appears like vast lake.
The inundation is the most serious that
has ever occurred this century. The gas
