Tho valuetl insurance Policy.

A valued policy in fire insurance is
again proposed to the legislature. The
meaning OF valued policy is that where
there Isl total loss the insurance COM
pany is bound to pay the full amount
Of the insurance, partial losses in pro-
portion.
This idea has captiyated many minds,
and some companies, by endeavoring to
avoid payment OF just losses, have done
much to promote it Tho principle Of
the valued policy isvicious. It puts q
premium on over-insurance and arson.
II does away with the wholesome doc.
trine that the insured should carry part
OF his risk. 1t is a menace to any COM
munity in which it is operative.
1t may be said that it is the business
Of underwriters to take care that they
issue no policy over-insuring any pro-
perty, and this is true so far as it goes,
Here a grave difficultyis encountered.
8 Agents are mot always wise, not always
as cautious as they should be, and If
the law compel the payment Of the full
amount OF insurance without regard to
loss, shrewd2 and bold scoundrels will
take the chances.
OF this, at least there can be no
question, that valued policy law in
creases the number Of fires and the gem
eral ERE hazard. The record establishes
this fact beyond controversy. This be-
ing true, another result is that tho
underwriters raise thoitrates or decline
to take the risks, either alternative be-
ing bad for The honest man willing TO
take insurance on the right aud safe
basis. No such measure should be
adopted in West Virginia.

Was Edison,s namp First?


Now comes an old German, Henry
Goebel by name, who says that third
OF century ago he invented the in
candescent electric lamp for which
Edison has received the credit and the
profit.
Mr.. Goebel says he expects no money
out OF establishing his claim, but since
he is the inventor he wants tho honor.
Ho has been brought forward by the
companies outside Of the Edison COM
bina!iop, and the establishing Of his
claim is said to be worth 100000 to
those companies, a+t,. SS
Thirty WITNESSES are ready to testify
that Goebel is the inventor OF the lamp.
1t is not denied that Edison has i'm.
proved the lamp. but ii it can be shown
that Goebel accomplished all that is
claimed by and for him, the Edison pat
ents will be knocked higher than kite
in the legal war now being waged.
Goebel explains that he did not pat
emit the lamp for the same reason that
he did not patent his other inventions,
he worked at them for pleasure and saw
no way to make money out of them.
Altogether it is an interesting story, to
the Edison people. jtothe independent
companies and to the public.

Tuesday evening, July 25, in the OLD
federal court rooms, Wasatch building,
will be opened with series of illustrated
lectures on human life and health ano
occult revelations and demonstrations
for week or more by the Oriental seer,
lecturer and examiner-in-chief for the
Oriental syndicate of London, Calcutta
and San Francisco. The admission
will be free for ladies and gentlemen.
The Oriental seer dazzled the eyes OF
the audience by the magnificent robe Of
plush and satin heavy with jewels, and
the ieweled cap in which he appeared.
The lecture WAS a scientific exposition
of the relations existing between the
mental and physical qualities of the hu.
man animal. The speakers manner was
very convincing and his subject exceed.
ingly interesting. He illustrated hi:
ideas by means OF rapid sketches in cray
on, proving himself skilful draughts-
man in offhand work. His delineations
of the various casts of character were es-
pecially strong and several of them richly
orous.-Denuer Times.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Rapid Transit Saloon and Lodging
House Burned.
Narrow Escape of Some of the Occupants
of the Place-Good Work Done
by the Firemen.

One of the meanest fires that the de-
partment has been compelled to handle
for some months called out all the appa-
ratus and men and some of the call men
at about O'Clock yesterday morning.
The blaze was In the two-story frame
structure, on State street, known as the
Rapid Transit saloon and lodging house,
and owned by F. Auerbach & Bros. The
saloon on the ground floor was run by d.
j. Levi, while II. l.. Stone conducted a
cheap lodging house on the upper floor.
The fire had gained considerable
Roadway when the department arrived
and 5000 feet of hose was quickly run
out, eight streams of water being
poured into the seething mass of timber ,
while the occupants of the place en-
deavored to save such furniture as they
could. While thus engaged, Mr.. Stone
broke into bedroom occupied by Minnie
Nelson, Provo girl, and tried to rescue
her, but found it impossible to do SO
alone, as she was IN a fainting condition
He called fireman to his aid, and the
girl was taken out, but not before she
had been badly burned about the face and
body. In coming out Mr.. Stone was
scented by the flames, and his clothing
caught fire.
Nellie Brow, who also roomed on the
upper floor, had a narrow escape from
death. She was not aroused until the
fire had gained considerable Roadway and
only saved herself by jumping from a
window into the arms of man below
and was hurt somewhat in SO doing. The
fireladdies worked like heroes for two
hours and half, and they also had some
close calls. Ed Fitzgerald was compelled
to Jump about fifteen feet, and both his
ank les were SDraaued The efforts Of THE
department prevented the flames from
spreading to other buildings, and their
work was praised by all.
The loss of the lodges will amount tc
$700, while the loss of Mr.. Levi and Auer-
bach Bros. will be about 50, 600 additional
The total insurance is 81 100.
The origin of the fire is unknown. i
is alleged that the flames were first seer
| in the upper story, but Mrs. Stone doe:
not see how they could start there. The
fire department alleges an explosion of {
coal oil lamp as the cause.

THE no CREDIT SYSTEM.
1t Is introduced BY the Utah Slaughter
ing Company.


ing Company.
Mr.. JOHN White, president of the Utah
Strengthening company, was happy last
evening because his company sold more
meat yesterday than it has sold in any
one day Tor year past. This sale is
momentous at the present time, in view
OF the TACT that two weeks ago the "No
Credit order went into effect
in the Office of the Strengthening
company. Since that date and up to yes
terday the butchers have been selling the
surplus stock they were carrying under
the credit system, and business of the
wholesalers fell off about thirty per cent.
But now that stock is disposed of and the
retail dealers are carrying supplies only
from day to day. The average daily sale
OF the Strengthening company for year
has reached 81, 700. but yesterdays sales
MADE very pleasing total of g, 900.
IN Speaking of the credit system that
has been adopted Mr. White said: sit is
condition we have been working to
bring about for years, and the present
stringency only brought the matter to a
head a little sooner than we expected.
We cannot afford to carry the retail deal
ers, as our margin of profit on meats is
very small. The system SO far has worked
like charm. We sell meat one day and
expect to be paid for it next day If it is
not paid for then no more orders are
filled for the delinquent until he settles
up l am pleased to say we have SO far
had no occasion for refusing to fill any
order from our butchers
