The other day Mr.. John Mullig an was
digging on his premises opposite the opera
house, on franklin strees in Lexington,
Mo-, when he dug up skeleton. An ex-
animation showed that it was the remains
OF federal soldier, as there was belt
and buckle marked U. s., and several
other marks to show that one of the gov
ernment's brave defenders had been laid
to rest. As the house that stood there at
the beginning of the war was notorious
gambling den, and men were known to
have mysteriousIy disappeared, it is likely
that the skeleton was that of some unfortu-
nate soldier who was secretly murdered
and buried by the gamblers, who had in
all probability first robbed him OF his
Roney and other valuabIee.

The performances of this son of Nam
brino Gift, at Louisville, stamps him a
steady and reliable tretter, almost without
parallel in the trotting annals. On
Tuesday, the first day of the meeting, in
the $50 class, he won in straight heats
trotting each and every heat in precisely
the same time, 2:291a. On Saturday in
the 2:40 class he again won in straight
heats, repeating his remarkable perfor-
nance of Tuesday by trotting three sue
cessive heats in 2:304, 2:3O, 2:30. Only
three-fourths of second difference in tht
time of the six heats, is truly iwonderfa

On this subject the eSmRissionsr says:
Minnesota is prosperous and growing
state. Her insurance business, already
large, is rapidly Increasing with each sue
cee&ing year. Barring the last three years
the increase in rfsks written has been
seventy millions of sollars and nearly a
million dollars in premiums. Last year
the premiums reached in round numbers,
two millions of dollars, and this year they
will undoubtedly exceed that amount.
There is really good field fer another first
class company in the seate, and II is a mat
ter of surprise thaS one has Res been Or
ganized before this. The bSsiaass is ample
and there is no reason why new company,
if carefully handled, should net succeed
from the first. The splendid success OF
the St. Paul Fire and Marine ought to
make it an easy Rkttsr 30 attract as much

The value OF the property destroyed by
sre in the United States during 1889, ex-
@eeds eighty-fo rnifiieas of dollars. If
such losses we're but for one year, says the
insurance commissioner, it Hoald make
but little differences se q ssuAtry like the
United State, bat occurring as il docs vita
each succeeding year, and increasing in
amount in ratio ef the increase of the pop
ulation, the waste is Sc enormous that but
for the wonderful resources of the country
it would impoverish her. The national
debt, in comparison, is but q snail affair,
for it has its limits and is in rapid process
of being extingui6hed, while the great ma
tional tax for FIRE losses goa on growing
larger and larger, without even ths prom
ise OF relief. That much could be done to
reduce the losses and thus Tighten this
great burden is question which does not
admit of argument. Most Of the fires
| occur from preventable causes, and when
the public mind becomes thoroughly
awakened on this subject, it cannot be
, doubted that ssch laws will be enacted and
such regulations adopted as will materially
mitigate condition which has grown to

fires, nevertheless, as physicians are the
best censervaters of pHblia health, not
withstanding the fast that bat for disease
and sickness they voald be rsbhed of their
occupation, So insurance companies must
be credited with nearly all that is accom-
plisRed in the directioA Of preventing fires
| in the face of the fact that bat for fires
they would, of necessity, csass to exist.
But while entitled to this credit they, at
the same time, deserve much censure for
indulging in an insane ana indefensible
practice Of over-insuring property, which
is the direct cause of many fires, and a
large percentage of the insurance losses.

CHICAGO, May i3.-The residents of the

aroused by the fact that eight married la
dies have died within month of pusrperal
fever and peritonitis. 1t seems that DIR.

died with the disease, and his hair

ed with the poison, which is very subtle
and since then eight of his patients aimi.

Dimpled his blue, yet thirsted evermore.

and only the animated party interviews
with prominent Democrats of all classes
shows that this is approved.
Abram S. Hewitt, the well known con-
gressman, said Mr.. Pulitzer undertakes a
Praiseworthy, but difficult task in insisting
on Democratic union and ignoring local
factions. I have been trying to stamp out
ssctions in theD emocratic party of this

I started the Democratic movement,

one broud Democratic organization, but
instead of quuelling Iammany Hall, or

added another faction to those already

The Commencement at louisville.
BY hEGOhDEh'

The inauguration of the seasons con-
tests on the trotting turf took place at
Louisville on the 9Th inst. under favorable
auspices. The day was fine, the attend
anee large, and good trotters were Oh hand
to contest fer the prizes offered for the
two races on the programme. The weather
for the past two months in that locality
has not been as favorable as desired for
the preparation of trotters for fast work ia
heat races. This fact was demenstra ted in
the first race of the day, the 2:19 class,
Wherein there were four horses among the
starters having previous record under
2:seS, and one with 2:204; the one with the
slowsst record, Joe Bunker, by George
Wilkes, winning ia 2:21h, 2:2215, 1928.
Among the beaten horses were j. B. Thorn
as, Troubadour, and Frances Alexander;
all of whom are entered in the 2:19 class at
ChicsEo in July. In the mean time they
haYs much improvement to make
in order to gain place in that
race as they will be compelled
to face the starter with Fanny Wither-
spoon, Adele Gould, Monroe Chief and
other 'terrers of the gang" However, it is
toe early in the season to expect horses to
appear in their best form, and under the
circumstances, the performance of the
wipner at least was q very creditable one
indeed, and the beaten horses may round
up before midsummer, and in such event
both Thomas and the black stallion have
the speed and bottom to keep warm the
best field of trotters in the country.
The ether event of the day was the $50
class, in which there we're five starters, all
beng new candidates for turf hopore, and
all having in their veins the blood royal of
great trotting families, consequently
had reputation to sustain as
we'll as laureIs to gain. Mambrino
Sotham, young stallion, by MaRbrino
Gift, won in straight heats, in the excellent
time of 2:2915 in each AID every heat.
The honors to the winner were multiplied
by this performance, as it places his sire
among the list of stations whose get have
made record of 2:50 sr better, to harness,
which il justification for the dead Nam
brine Gift that has been anxiously await
ed by many for the past tive or three
seasons.
1t is meet and proper, that the stallion
frst to make record of 2:20, should be the
sire of $3.50 trotters, who by their per-
formarcss en the turf, shall perpetuate
his menery, and keep it fresh and green;

MINNESOTA INSURANCE.

The Annual Report of Commissioner
NcGill-Interesting Facts and Figures.
The advanss Fssss ef the text of Insur-
ance Commissioner KcGin's report have
been printed, from which we have been
enabled to CLEAN the following facts about
the insurance business in Minnesota in
1882:
The report relates to fire, marine and
casualty insurance, and is part first of the
twelfth annual report Of the insurance de-
Partment of this state. Seventeen COM
panies were admitted to the state during
the year, and six retired.
OF the latter, all have reinsgred and quit
business.
There were en the 1sS OF March, 1888,
128 fire and marine companies authorized
to do business in the state; 80 American,
and twenty-nine foreign, besides five
casualty companies.
In regard to the Insurance business in
Minnesota during 1882, the commissioner
says:
''In point of material development the
year 1882 has not had it's parallel in Mia
nesota since the state was org anized. The
insurable property in the state was enorm-
susly increased dariRg the year. In tbs
cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis alene
not less than 5000 residences were con-
structed during the year, costing all the
way from $100 to 100000 each, and Aun&-
reds Of business houses of all grades
stores, mills, factories, ETC., etc.,-were built
and equipped during the same period, thus
Immensely augmenting the commercial
and manufacturing interests of the dual
cities. While the ratio of development
in the construction of buildings was not
so great outside eff the cities named,
there was, nevertheless, unusual activity in
this direction all over the state. The
growth of the city of Saltwater was al
most phenomenal, and the same might be
said of Duluth, whil0 many other towns
evinced great prosperity. Indeed, there is
hardly hamlet or community in the
state that did not contribute something to
the insurable property of the state during
the year. In the aggregate the increase
was probably net less than fifty milliens of
dollars. In the aHeunt of property in
sured the increase, as shown by the returns
of the insurance companies, was S26, 1885,
023. This is the increase in one year, or
Of the business of 1882 over that of 1881.
The total amount Of insurance written in
the state during the pass year was $14S,-
539, ,523."
The 1nsurable property of the state is
estimated by the commissioner at not less
than $300,0o0,0OO.
