HOT AFTER THE OCTOPUS.
The Fire Insurance Combine is to Be
Attacked-Anti-Trust Laws Evad-
ed by Operating Through
Kansas City.

From the Springfield iMol Leader, Democrat |
In spite of the strict federal laws |
against trusts and combinations and in
violation of explicit and special Mis-
souri, statutes opposing the infamy, |
the insurance companies that have for
years practiced extortion on the peo-
pie in this section are continuing their
illegal and unjust operations.
That the fire insurance companies
are working under the long standing
agreement admits of no doubt.
When the federal laws against trusts
failed to reach the fire insurance COM
bine the legislature of this State enact
cd a bill preventing insurance boards
fixing the rates outside of Kansas City
or st. Louis.
This law is outrageously violated
every day in every part of the State.
The man who has charge of the
combine in this part of the State is the
manager of the Kansas City board.
Here is the way the thing is done
through this boss:
Representatives of five insurance
companies go by estimates" which
is in fact another name for rates, from
the Kansas City concern, and send
these Estimates" to their agents,
stamped, "These rates must be OBJ
tanned for the insurance com-
pany."
These"rates'operate to increase the
cost of insurance to the business men
is in fact a perfect system of down
right robbery and extortion.
For proof note the following ad-
vance in rates since the law went into
effect: The Model Dry Goods COM
pany, raised from S1.40 to s1.65; Wor-
rells confectionery from 81, so to S1.75;
Comings & Beach s1.35 to S1.55; Stai
clothing house from S1.40 to S1.75;
Tune Schneider clothing company
from $1.40 to S2.10; Baker building
from s1.75 to So; Prigmore's billiard
hall from S1.75 to $2.20; Schneide
Bros shoe store from $1.60 to S2.10
Mcdaniel building Gold city halD iron
s1.75 to So; Overstreet's drug stor
from s1.75 to s2.2O, and great man
others in like ratio, while it is esti
mated that the summit of high rate
is not yet reached.
All this is in direct violation of bot
! the federal and State law, and wa
ought to and doubtless will be four
to stop it. Prosecuting Attorney We;

THE CUBAN QUESTION

Notwithstanding the almost univer-
sal sympathy which prevails through
out the United States with the Cuban
cause, IL is doubtful whether the re-
cent resolutions in congress, which
are supposed to reflect that feeling,
will materially affect the action Of the
president, who, il is believed, will
take the earliest occasion possible
after the resolutions are placed before
him of manifesting his disapproval of
the jingo spirit which has prevailed in
both HOUSES. In his opinion, even
Senator sherman, generally so exact
in his statements has been deceived
by senatorial reports Of Spanish tyr
amy into a denunciation of that gov
ernment, without a sufficient investi
CATION of the facts. The trend OF his
ideas on this head may be gathered
from recent remark from the presi-
dents lips, which, while not intended
for the outside world, somehow OBJ
tanned wide circulation, viz: that
congress was acting like lot OF
Spanish schoolboys." Meanwhile,
some of the more conservative sena-
tors believe that, perhaps, they have
been little hasty in the matter. The
speech of Hale, calm, deliberate and
bristling with facts and hard logic,
has set their think-tanks to operating.
AS IL is now understood that Senator
Sherman obtained most Of his harrow
ing stories from a Cuban press agency,
which may have possibly manufac-
tured them in New York City, there
will be several senators who may call
far something more definite and reli
able when the question of the final
disposition Of the senate resolutions l.
brought forward

ward and also gives us modicum of
justice in the following editorial
which We find in a recent issue. The
article tells its own story and no com
ment is necessary;
"in regard to President Clevelaud's
remarks at the Presbyterian meeting
in this city, about the lack of religion
in our western territories, facts are of
Importance. There are plenty of peo-
pie in the east who, forming their

prised at the prevalence Of this opinion
when we think OF the yarns of wild
western wickedness that have come
to US many a time from Oklahoma

Yet here we have an official docu-
ment which tells another tale. 1t is
the report OF the governor of Oklaho-
ma for the year 1898, sent to the
Hon. Hoke Smith, for the information
of the president and congress. After
telling of the growth OF the terri.

And this applies not only to the field
Of science, where the X-ray is turning

Only few days ago an Iowa girl sued

opens a new line of thought, and sug-
gests that so far as breach of promise
cases go death does not end all.
But now Wisconsin claims public at
ter .ion by similar decision, which
is equally startling Mark II. Barnum,
editor OF the Wausau Torch, has been
found guilty Of libeling a dead girl
and has oeen sentenced to six months

tined to become famous as a prece-

FACTS ABOUT thermometers.

Heat from the Moon.

Sensitive Instrument which Registers
Heat from the Moon.
To tell whether a thermometer ac-
eurately does its work, invert the
instrument, says the New York World.
II the mercury does not fan to the
end or if it breaks into several small
columns the thermometer contains air
and is inaccurate. IL perfectly made
the slender thread should FIJI the tube
or break OF at the bulb and fall to
the other end of the tube.
There is another interesting fact
about thermometers Nine persons out
Of ten think the mercuriLl column
round, but that is not The case. The
thread Of mercury IN thermometers is
fat. IL II we're round the colu.an could
hardly be seen, for ,ne opeElaB OF the
tube is as fine as the finest thread.
Sose eight Of ten years ago a Boston
manufacturer introduced a scheme OF
coating the back OF the tube with white
sizing. That makes the column Of mer-
curry stand out clear and distinct.
Thermometers are cheaper and bet
ter than ever before. You can nos buy
a heat marker for 25 cents but FIRST
class instrument will cost you s.. A
cheap instrument is like a cheap watch
1T is unreliable. The reason f1r this
is that a perfect thermometer has
scale OF its own. A cheap thermometer
is made on guess work Hence you
see difference OF two, three or five
degrees between thermometers in the
same locality on the same day.
