C.B.JEwELL GETS OUR RAIN
Which He Says Was Brought About by
HIS Gaasea At RhilIinshurc.

Which He Says Was Brought About by
His Classes at PhilIipsburG.
G. B. Jewell, chief of the Rock Island
rainmakers, has returned from Chan
ming, Texas. and is now with the compa-
MES operating in northwestern Kansas.
This morning he wired the Rock Island
offices in this city that the operations at
Phillipsburg and Selden had ceased and
had been very successful There were
light rains at both places yesterday and
heavy rains west of there. because a
heavy wind from the east had driven the
gases in that direction.
The government signal service had
forecast fair weather for those places on
that day, however. Mr. Jewell has heard
from two counties in Dakota which he
had instructed in his methods, and their
first attempts made this week had been
very successful This makes thirty nine
experiments without a SINCE failure and
Mr.. Jewell is very proud of the success
he is having. Operations will next be-
gin tomorrow at Mankato and Bellville,
Kansas, and at Beatrice, Nebraska.

SOME ssPOLITICS'' THERE.
Who Shall BE the Next State Secretary
of the @. ELS.

A Christian Endeavor convention is
after all like any other convention in
many respects and this similarity does
not stop before friendly rows between
the officers for policy's sake. In this case
the contest is between State Secretary
Lewis L. Roby, who is also editor of the
kansas Endeavorer," the official state
paper of the society, and Sheridan
Eloughe of Hutchinson. Mr.. Roby was
not Intending to be a candidate for re-
election, but he may have to be in order
to vindicate himself Sheridan Eloughe
charges extravaganza in Mr.. Roby's
official acts and says that this deficit of
800, of which $500 is incurred in the
publication of the .'Endeavorer," is due
to using more money than necessity de-
mands. He objects because the EN-
deavorer'' is printed on the finest quality
of smooth paper, and its general make
up is up to correspondingly high stan
dard.
The "Endeavorer' is one of the pref
test journals in the west and attracts at
tention and comment wherever it goes.

ATeHIsoN, May 25.-Dr. Dykes of the

smallpox by the health board. He came
on complaint of J. w. Howard of Ben
dena, who requested quarantine. After
looking into the matter thoroughly he

efficient work
The only complaint he made was in
regard to DIR. Troughtman's lack of faith
IN vaccination. DR.. Dykes informed him
that he must insist on vaccination in
every instance. He also believes that all
churches and places of amusement
should be closed for two weeks. The or
der goes into effect tomorrow. He thinks
with such precautions the disease can be
stamped out in two weeks.
There have been seven deaths in all.
Dr. Dykes says the worst is over, but
nothing but the greatest care can pre-
vent return of the disease next winter.
The order forbidding public assemblages

INSURANCE RATES.
Are We Not Entitled to a Re-
ductiOn.

When the new water works sys-
tenn was put in we were told that
a reduction Of insurance rates was
sure to follow, but no reduction
was made by the fire insurance
companies doing business here
Then there was demand for a re-
duction upon the part Of the citi-
zens and the insurance people said
no; you have no system Of cleo
trio fire alarm; the firemen do not
get to a FIRE soon enough. One
OF the best of fire alarm telegraph
systems was put in and again a
reduction was asked. but the in
surance.people said, your fire de-
partment has not been improved,
notwithstanding your system OF
alarms, and an agent was sent
here who re-rated the whole city.
increased the rate on many classes
of property. and many thousands
of dollars worth of insurance was
placed elsewhere in consequence.
The forthcoming report Of
Insurance Commissioner Duncan
in the table of premiums re-
ceived and losses paid in the State
by the fire and fire marine insur-
ance companies during the year
ISo3-will show that the com
panies doing business here re-
ceived in premiums paid in this
city last year $50, 200, and paid
SI3,464 in losses. During the
year 1891 they received S67, $40
in premiums and paid losses to
the amount of $1,000.
In 1891 the companies made
profit Of 5000 and in 1893.
S45,832. Deduct from these
figures one-third, which the COM
panies claim it costs them, in COM
missions and other expenses, to
place the business, and the net
profit is sufficient to entitle the
pc pile Of this community to
considerable reduction in rates.
The claim Of the insurance peo-
pie that the means Of protection
against fire is not sufficient to
justify them inimaking a reduction
is not good, for it is very seldom
the case that house burns to the
ground now, even in the most
