Late yesterday afternoon, the
committee on constitution of the far
mers' mutual insurance convention
brought in report, which was adopt
ed after several points had led to
some discussion.
By the provisions Of the constitu-
tion, as finally adopted, the name of
the organization is the minnesota
State Organization of Township Mu-
tual Insurance Companies" Its OBJ.
ject is to promote the welfare of the
township companies. The organiZa
tion is to be composed of one dele
gate from each farmers mutual in
surance company, and an annual fee
of one dollar will be charged to each
company. The officers are to be a
president, vice president, secretary
and treasurer. to be chosen annually
from the delegates. The annual meet
ingS shall be held at such time and
place as the assOcia tion shall decide.
The president, secretary and three
delegates to be elected at the an
nual meetings shall constitute an exc
cutive committee, whose duty it shall
be to arrange the program of the
next annual meeting and to act for
the association when the latter is not
in session. The constitution may
be amended by a two-thirds vote at
any annual meeting of the associa-
tion.
There was a good deal of discus
sion over the name, owing to the diff
ferent kinds Of insurance, and the
fact that it was desired to keep out
all but farmers companies. Mr..
Forbes, of the Iowa association, sug-
gested the name of estate AsSocia-
tion of Cooperative Insurance of Min
nesota," and many favored this, but
on a vote it was defeated.
The time of holding the annual
meetings led to some discussion, the
elements entering into it being the
time of the annual meeting of the
individual companies, the meeting of
the legislature, and farm work. A
motion to have the annual meeting
on the third Wednesday in Novem-
Der was lost by vote of % to %,
and the time for the meeting was
finally set for the second Wednes-
day in June.
On motion, the place for holding
the next meeting was left with the
executive committee.
The election of officers was then
taken up, and the following were
chosen:
President-J. W. Peterson, of
Goodhue county.
Vice president-James A. Bull, of
Hennepin county.
Secretary-I. B. Yates, of Walton
wan county.
Treasurer-Andrew French, of Wa
basha county.
An executive committee, composed
of the president, secretary and Dele
gates John Webster, of Nicollet coun-
ty, Hugh McGonagle, of Waseca coun-
ty, and c. Robertson, of Otter Tail
county, was chosen.
President Peterson thanked the
convention for the honor and said
that if work would do it, the Mime
sofa association would be the largest
in the northwest.
At this point, some wanted to adj
journ and go home, but others
thought that the work was now only
nicely begun, and that stop should
not be made with the organization.
1t was finally decided to take a re-
cess until s: 100 O'Clock.

STAMPING OUT DIPHTHERIA
Anti-Toxine Beinc Used with Splendid
Results in Iowa.
MANY PHYSICIANS FAVOR THE METHOD
Stnte Hoard Urging General Use oi
the New Treatment by the
various Boards of
Health.

Terrence Stack, aged s years, son OF p.
H. Stack, has been reported to the
Board of Health as suffering from
diphtheria. The prevalence OF diphtheria
has permitted the local physicians to give
thorough test to the new anti-toxin treat
ment The result so far has justified the
confidence that physicians have placed in
the remedy. Wherever 1t has been admin
istered in the early stages Of the disease
relief has quickly followed. Many cases OF
recovery have been reported where the early
symptoms indicated a malignant type OF the
disease which would have been fatal under
ordinary treatment. Reports to the State
Board Of Health show that there are more
cases of diphtherla in Iowa today than ever
before known. The board held a session
In Des Moines a few days ago for the pur-
pose of meeting members Of the local boards
in cities throughout the state and urging
them to use every precaution to enforce
all the quarantine regulations and stamp
out the disease.

grounds. The first one will be played with
the High school team OF Blair, Neb, Friday
afternoon at the Field Club park. week
from next Saturday Council Bluffs will meet
the Lincoln High school eleven. This
promises to be one OF the hardest fought
games ever seen in this city. Saturday the
Lincoln team beat Omaha High school II

Council Bluffs team against Omaha the week
before. The scoring in the Lincoln Omaha
game was all done in the last half and
this is taken as an indication that the Coun-
Gil Bluffs boys will win against Lincoln, as
they succeeded in making a touchdown in
the first half against Omaha

Baltimore, says. My grandmother, who
is now past 20 years Of age has been using
Dufy's pure malt whiskcy for about three
years, and Il has acted In her case almost
like a charm, always giving her an appe-
utc and allaynE any disorder OF the stom-
ach. IL is an excellent thing for elderly
people who require tonic as well as a
stimulaut."
The above is only one Of hundreds Of tes-
timonials equally convincing. They prove
that In al! csses OF weakness nothing pro-
duces such a strengthening effect as Dufry's
pure malt whiskey. 1t gives stimulatlve
nourishment to the worn out system, stirs
up the torpid blood. enriches 1t and quick

Seven men applied at the police station
for lodgings last night and were given
chance to sleep upon the comfortless
iron hunks in the upper rooms of the city
jail. They were all young their average
ages being less than 25 years, and were
of all natiOnalites. The chilly nights force
the unfortunates to appeal to the police for
places to sleep, and the rooms, which are
heated and set apart for that purpose, are
filled almost every night. The American
Volunteer Salvation army barracks on Upper
Broadway are filled nightly TO their utmost
capacity. The army has not received the
cordial support in the way OF donations OF
unused bedding that was counted upon, but
enough has been secured to provide for a
number OF the homeless and houseless un-
fortunates. People who are devoting time
and consideration to the subject of caring
for the destitute anticipate an unusually
heavy demand upon them this winter. Calls
upon the custodian Of the county poor fund
are becoming painfully common.
