Answers to Charges Against the Practice in
the Edgerton School.
JANEsvIILE, June 16.-An answer was
made yesterday in the case of the state of
Wisconsin ex rel of Fred Weiss. ct al, vs..
the school beard of District No. 5, of
Edgerton. The Catholic citizens of Ed
gerton had applied to Judge Bennett to
have stop put to devotional exercises in
the public schools of that place. An
alternative writ of mandamus was grant
ed ordering the school board either to
abandon the exercises or show why they
should not be compelled TO answer. The
answer denies that the children named in
the writ have not been permitted to
attend the schools or that any children
have not been permitted to follow the
course of instruction or pursue studies
desired 10y their parents. No children
have been required to listen to devotional
exercises or repeat the Lords prayer, or
join in reading the Bible. If the Bible
was read, their attendance and attention
thereto was entirely voluntary. Ii is fur
ther denied that any teacher made com-
mcnts upon. or gave explanation of any
part of the Bible. or that any pupil
has been punished for refusing to take
part in any of those exercises; also that
teachers have never been examined as to
their religious belief. and that those hav-
ing no religious belief were employed in
discriminatory. No time has yet been
set for argument on the issue.

ABOUT INSURANCE.

Possibly the insurance underwriters
might find ii TO their advantage to take
the public slightly into their confidence
i'll their difficulty in making insurance
that way. There are people cruel enough
in the absence of exact data to ques-
tlon the broad statement that they do not
make anything. One thing is quite clear,
and that is that judged by their own state
ments, there is evidently radical wrong
somewhere. II is also a little encourag-
ing that they admit that something more
than increase of rates is necessary.
The fact * the rates are too high, very
much too high, as is shown by the rates
Of local companies III towns. The under
writers present unanswerable arguments
in favor Of more of the township com
pnnics and of extending the township
system to the smaller cities and villages
of the state. Unless the large stock com
panirs can give cheaper insurance and
better protection, they are an injury to
the country and had better go out of the
field. Their methods are wrong and
much of the fire loss of the year is due TO
bad methods, or perhaps total lack of
methods of stock companies. II will not
do for insurance men to say they cannot
determine the value of property before
they insure il. If this is SO, how can
they ascertain this fact after il has burnedY
The truth is they can tell and it is their
duty to tell and not over insure, and then
they can make money and gcuerally make
themselves useful. At present they are
not useful institutions but injurious ones
(" the state. They now rate very much
Of the property of the state for the pur-
pose Of making combination prices. 1t
would bc quite as easy and much more
useful TO rate property IA to what amount
of insurance it shall have upon it. I'm
less these concerns do this they will for
felt all public confidence soon, and peO-
pie, who simply want protection, will seek
different way of getting ii and III doing
that they will not need to go far as the
township system affords perfect way to
all, except the largest cities.

New YORK. June 16.-On June 10th. a
young couple engaged room No. %. on
the second floor of the Sturtevant house
and were registered as Winfield Lee
Thompson and wife. of Kansas City. Mo-
He was twenty-four years old and she was
about three years his junior. This after
noon the hotel office bell was rung from
room No. 25, which the young couple
have closely retained since their
arrival But when the bell
boy responded and raped on
the door there was no response. After
repeated rappings, with no sound from
within, a carpenter was summoned and
the door forced open. Both Thompson
and his wife lay side by side on the floor
Mrs. Thompson had been shot in the back
of the head and was dying when the at
tendantS entered. Thompson was CON
sclous for a moment and asked that a
doctor be sent for. In Thompson's hand
was Il trevOlyer. There were bullet
wounds in his head and breast but not
necessarily fatal. An ambulance was
sent for, but before its arrival the woman
was dead. There are indications that the
pair were on their wedding tour. as an
inscription on the inside of her ring in
dlcated that they had been married on
June I'd. The bell-knOts in the room
We're bloody, indicating that the shooting
was done before the bell was rung.
WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT THE TRAGEDY
remains mystery. The most affection

pair. Genevieve, the bride, was rather
pretty, with dark complexion. Her pa

Mrs. Pratt had left the room the bride
was dead and the husband lay by her side
horribly wounded. At the hospital the
coroner tried to find out what prompted
the act. Thompson refused to state.

REFUSED TO TRANSPORT BEER.
Iowa Beer Vendors Bring suit Against Rail
road Company.


road Company.
CHICAGO, June 1G.-A suit for $4,000
damages was begun in III the United
States circuit court to-day by George A.
and Frederick W. Bowman, beer venders
of Marshalltown, Iowa, against the Chi
cago d. Northwestern railway company,
for its refusal to transport 5000 barrels
of beer for the plaintiffs from Chicago to
Marshalltown. The railroad company re-
fuses TO transport the beverage for fear of
section 1854, chapter 143, acts of the 1Xth
Iowa assembly, which makes II penal
offense to take into the state any intoIi-
eating liquor without a permit from the
auditor of the county to which the iiqnor
is to be taken. This permit can be OBJ
tanned by the cons:gnee only on making
an affidavit that the liquor is to be used
for medical purposes, mechanical, cuiIn-
airy or sacramental purposes. Bowman
Bros. claim that this law is unconstitu-
tional, and they applied for permit to
sell beer a. beverage but 1t was refused
Then they bought 5000 barrels of beer at
$3.50 per barrel the payment being con
ditioned on their getting II into Iowa,
but the Northwestern refused TO take 1t.
Bowman Bros. claim that beer Is sold all
over Iowa and if they once succeeded IN
getting il into the state they could sell II
for S8 per barrel and not be molested.
The refusal of the company TO transport
1t is to be made the occasion of a test OF
the validity of the Iowa Law.
