New Insurance Law.

The new standard fire insurance pol
icy required for companies doing bust
ness in Wisconsin, according to the law
enacted by the recent legislature ,is pro-
voking wide discussion among insur-
ance men, and many of them are dis
posed to denounce it, says TheMadison
Journal. One company has written its
agent here that it is quite likely some
of the companies will not continue to
do business in Wisconsin under the
adverse regulations of the new stand
ard policy.
It is believed, however, that closer
examination of the law and it's effect
will convince conservative people, even
insurance men, that it is wise meas
ure, and this belief is borne out by a
letter just received by Insurance Com.
missioner Fricke from the adjuster OF
one of the largest and most substantial
fire insurance companies in the coun-
try, who was ready at first glance to
jump to the same conclusion reached
by many others, but who has changed
his views on further examination. He
says:
"My first impression was to raise a
battalion of honest, valiant men and
go up into the Badger state and hunt
out the members of the legislature and
bring them to punishment, but on
thinking the matter over more calmly
and examining more critically the

Nominates Mavor Moak

The Fort Atkinson Union strongly
urges the selection as early as possible
of a chairman of the Republican State
Central committee to succeed the late
Hon. H. G. Thorn. 1t also nominates
Mayor J. I. Moak, of this city, for the
place, and says:
cit seems to us that the dignity and
eXigencies of the situation demand that
the committee meet at once and choose
Il achairman. There are plenty of "good
men and true" all over the state who
would make good chalrmen. In the
meantime to back up advice with prac-
tical suggestion The Union would nomi-
nate Mayor Moak, of Watertown. for
that position. He has had valuable
experience on the State Central COM
mittee, is level headed and possesses
excellent political Judgment. The
Democrats of that twice-told Demo
cratic city acknowledge that he has a
taking way with him"
Mr.. Moak would no doubt accept the
office were it rendered to him, and
that he would fill the bill in all it's re-
quirements goes without saying

Drowned in the Crawfsh.

Fred Schloesser, resident of the
town of Watertown, was drowned in
the Crawfsh river at Milford last
Thursday evening. He was on fish
ing expedition there with a party of
friends, and was in small boat when
it accidentlY oapsized, sending him to
the bottom. Contrary to custom, he
failed to again come to the surface,
where there was plenty of assistance
awaiting him, and in which case be
would undoubtedly have been rescued.
1t is thought that his clothing was
caught onto something on the bottom
of the river, holding him there until
life was extinct. The body was recov-
cred short time after the accident.

A Great Amount of Bsrbed-Wire Fencing

In speaking of the use of old rails re-
Gently, says the Railway Reviewer, an
official of the Pennsylvania railroad
stated the life of a rail on the Pennsyl-
vania lines west is about eleven years
and on the Pennsylvania railroad only
nine years. The difference is perhaps
due to heavier traffic on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. The friction of con-
stantly passing trains wears on the rail
until it must be replaced by a new one.
The company pays twenty-four dollars
a ton-now twenty-five dollars-and
the rails used on that line average
eighty-fve pounds to the yard. When
it has passed it's useful stage the rail is
replaced.
The old rails that are taken out from
time to time are gathered up every
month and sold to junk and scrap deal
ers at twelve dollars a ton. 1t can read
lily be seen that the company pays only
twelve dollars for the use of rails per
ton. The price received from the scrap
man is a good figure, when it is known
that the rails, when sold, are of no use
to the company. Rails that are not
much worn are sold to factories along
the road at eighteen dollars per ton,
where they are used for sidings and an
swer the purpose quite as well as new
rails. There are many uses to which
the old rail is put. A great amount of
barb-wire fencing is made of railroad
iron and very often the rails are used as
foundations for large buildings. There
are not many people who know that
the Masonic temple in Chicago rests on
foundation of steel rails, layer upon
layer, six feet deep.

some of their flashes Of precocity seem
not to be unconscious but rather the
fragment Of some remembered knowl-
edge. A little maid of five, who had
been listening quietly to the puzzles
and conundrums of the older children,
seemed at last to divine the method of
their construction, and, after some
thought, asked: "What could you get
on very high, steep mountain?" The
answers were ice, snow, rocks, eagles
nests and the like, to all of which the
little one persistently shook. her head.
When asked to tell the answer she tri-
umphantly cried: "Nothingl" "But
