Insurance War.

Sioux City, Oct. 2S.-There seems
TO he good chance that the Eastern
board insurance companies will at last
win IN the war they have been Waging
against the Iowa companies. For two
or three years the Iowa companies
have made 1t impossible for the board
to raise rates, us it desired, because
the local concerns would not agree.
The larger companies now have plan
to force the compliance of the smaller
ones. They have announced that un-
less the Iowa companies consent on
Nov. l to an agreement for the reduc-
ton of commissions to agents to
uniform basis Of Is per cent the board
companies will on that date inaugur-
ate war on rates that will drive the
home companies out of business. The
state companies, having their business
confined tc this state, cannot fight,
because the outside companies can
make up their losses in other states.
Many Of the Iowa companies have con-
cluded to 60 into the agreement die
tated by the board, but several will
not do so, and the war will probably
be declared.

Roman cement mortars behave fairly
well under such conditions. and Port

the use Of warm water showed some

With rubber masonry, using either
sandstone or limestone, lime mortar
was entirely out Of place. and Roman
cement gave unsatisfactory work un-

YALE FRESHMEN WIN,

Badly Defeating the Harvard Fresh-
 men in the Game at Yale Field Yes-
 terday-About one Thousand Spec
 tators.
 The Yale freshmen revenged themselves on the Harvard youngsters yesterday after noon for the defeat they received in Cam bridge 8 short time ago, and did 1t with ease. A rather close game was expected, for Harvard won the other game by score of to 8, and about one thousand people took advantage of the holiday to attend. They were much disappointed in the game, for 1t was extremely uninteresting. The youths in red were never in the chase from beginning to end, and the only excitement consisted of watching the Yale boys knock out singles and score runs when they had no earthly use for them.
 At the other game Paine was puzzle to
 the Yale batters, and they lost the game
 solely from inability to solve his curves,
 but yesterday he was either out of condi-
 ton or else the Yale men had profted by
 experience, for they batted him almost at will. He was very poorly supported by Scott, who made passed balls just at crih- cal moments, and perhaps prevented him from letting himself out. Smith pitched g very steady game, and Harvard could moi hit the ball when they had men on the bases. The six hits they did get were scat tered through ss many innings. Be wal we'll supported, the Yale men outplayine their opponents at all points. Tho only
 error, wild throw by Murphy, let IF
 Harvard's only run. The presence oi Keator and Murphy of the 'varsity l helped the team out greatly, the base run ming of the former being a feature. Mo Candless did some good batting for Yale 1 and also did Smith and Keator. Harris
 and Keator accepted some difficult chances in the outfeld, and MoCandleas did at first ! a new place for him. With the exception | of Warren and Stevens, the Harvard in
 field played poorly, and deserved their de l feat.
 The Yale freshmen glse club was sta toned in the grand stand and sang during l the game. By winning this game th' 1 freshmen gain the inestimable privilege O roosting on the fence a week earlier thar usual. The score follows:

The new cornet band was out for the second time and made @ very credltahls showing, rendering very excellent music. The exercises were opened with prayer by James Gallup. Miss Georgiana Scranton gave rec!tations, fol lowed in nice selection by Arthur Cramp- ton. Six of Msdison's fsirest recited in concert an appropriate piece. Miss Lulu Buck recited "Pspa's Crave" Her efforts are deserving of special notice. The Rev. William Brown, pastor of the Congrega- tional church, made e most eloquent ad- dress. It was listened to with unusual in- terest, referring with appropriate remarks to the lamented Samuel Fisk, who left the pulpit thirty-one years ago to go to the front. Addresses were made by Corporsl George E. Wheaton, Corporal John H. Msigs, Captain Charles M. Wilcox, Judge H. B. Wilcox and s. H. Scranton and others. Comrade J. H.
