Are YOu Insured With Any Of Them


The insurance commission oil this State
has issued the following circular:
1T has come to the knowledge OF the
insurance department that the citizens
OF this state are, IN many localities, being
swindled and defrauded by worthless and
irresponsible insurance companies,
Companies that have any financial
standing desiring to do business IN this
state will and DO comply with our laws.
Norman insuring his property in com.
panies from outside OF the State need do
more than to ask his local agent TO show
his certificate of authority to write the
policy be offers. He must have such GER
tticate
Companies who are not authorized to
write insurance in this State, have no
standing here whatever. and honld loss
occur, the insured would be without
legal remedy in the State
Companies that are authorized may
be sued il occasion requires, IN the home
courts where the fire occurs.
The agents who solicit for such fraud
ulant companies or aid in placing policies
for them are criminals before the law.
Several fires have lately occurred with
insurance in such companies and not a
dollar OF loss has been recovered and
this department is poweriess to aid.
81 herewith give list OF some of these
disreputable, outlaw concerns now
known to the department and others
will be announced when ascertained.
Most OF these are mere myths without
legal existence anywhere, but are scatter

Many of Them to Be

NextS ummer.
Streets in Bad shape this Year
Around the Metropolis Of the
Copper Country.

The work on the streets in the village
OF Red Jacket has cen stopped for this
season and nothing in this way can be
done while the weather remains IA it has
been for the past few weeks. The heavy
and continuous rains that have been
coming down lately has stopped the
work and it is not likely that it will be
resumed again this fall unless 1T clears uD
within the next few days.
The streets have never been in as bad
condition as they are at present and this
Is on account of the rain which has been
coming down 80 often and plentiful. 1t
has been impossible to keep the streets
clear OF the mud Street Commissioner
John Ford has done the best he could,
but it has been a futile task to try to do
anything while the present condition OF
the weather exists.
The commissioner said yesterday that
the work done this summer was not as
much as had been contemplated earlier
in the season and that the work laid out
had not been completed and that it
would be necessary TO do great deal OF
street work next summer. The prfnci-
pal work that has been done this sum-
mer has been in putting IN ne" street
crossings and they have not all been put
in yet. Ga the principal streets new
cross-walks have been put in and many
walks have been put in the middle OF the
block, where the BLOCK is long one.
This Improvement has been very much
appreciated OF late, especially since the
roads have been 40 muddy.
President Vivian says that many of
the streets will have to he rocked again
next summer IA they should have been
this season and that the work will have
to be commenced as soon as the snow il
off the ground.
A well known taxpayer in speaking OF
the matter OF street Improvement said,
yesterday: "Why don't the village try
some OF the new pavement, say, for in
stance, the macadamized roads? There
seems no reason why it would not prove |
as good here as in the larger cities and |
the fact that it would
cost little more l think it would prove
great deal chopper in the long run.
Then it would greatly please the bicycle |
riders and they are Low large number.

Have You Investigated?
The Standing ofthe Doc
tor Or Doctors You
Employ.
Be Careful of Medical Institutes
Dares Not Publish HIS Own
Name

On Saturday Octobers2, the Copper
Country Evening NEWS published n re-
print OF the st. Louis Republic headed
"rrade in bogus diplomas; bogus colleges
grant fraudulent medical certificates;
hundreds posing as physicians who are
not entitled to practice, nearly all hold
ing these diplomas are ignorant of the
rudiments OF medicine
The article further goes on to state
that there are two OF these bogus col
leges now domlciled in Illinois. Up TO "A
few months ago there was another hold
ing a charter from the State OF Wiscon-
sin, but in consequence OF the removal OF
its headquarters to illinois the charter
has been forfeited at the ;nstigation of
the State officials.
Long before the above article appeared
in the local papers have we warned the
people OF the copper country OF the un-
scrupulous men who are rractIcing med
icine; there are thousands of them scat
tered throughout this country, who make
a living by praying upon the sick and
afflicted; we have long warned the people
to be careful whom they employ as their
physician, as he may be one who has
either bought or stolen a piece OF paper,
and after filing in his name, calls tia
diploma.
In every walk OF life, in every trade
and in every profession we find some
who are an honor to.their fellow work
ers while Others are a disgrace. But in
no other instaI - can one 80 hood wink
the public as the medical profession.
Before entrus, nc your medical adviser
with your money, health or secrets, be
sure that he is ii physician or ia connect
ed with a reputable medical institute;
avoid all medical Institutes whose propri
etor dares not use his own name and
never having graduated from medical
college, is Obliged to hide his identity by
advertising the name of some one as
chief consulting physician OF his institute.
The people of the copper country have
been fleeced so often by these sharks, that
we deem it our duty to caution them to
be on their guard.
BE careful TO whom you entrust your
lives; investigate the standing and rep
utation OF the head OF the concern or in
stitute with whom you do business; we
want to be investigated; .the.head of our
is graduate from one OF the
leading medical colleges of New YORK; he
is registered at Houghton and in almost

TREASURY CHANGES TO BE SLOW.


Washington. March 14.--Contrary to ex-
pectations, there will be no nominations
sent to the senate for important places in
the treasury department for some lime
Secretary Gage, it is believed, has made
up his mind as to two of the assistant Sec
retaryships, but he had announced that
no nominations will be sent to the senate
for week or SO. Assistant Secretary
damlin some days ago informed Mr. Gage
that he was ready to send in his resigna-
ton at any time, but the secretary desired
that he remain two or three weeks The
offer was accepted. The two most promi-
nent candidates for the offices of assist
ant secretary are w. B. Howell, for sew
eral years PAST assistant to the secretary
having charge of customs matters, and
Mr.. Spaulding, who served as assistant
secretary during the Harrison adminisrra-
ton. For the chief clerkship there are
TWO candidates who seem to be In the lead
OF the others-Wallace Hills, an old en-
ploye and at present the assistant chief
clerk, and Major Bracket, who served as
chief during the Harrison administra ton,

THE BLOCKADE OF CRETE
POWERS EXPECT TO CLOSE THE
ISLAND PORTS TO-DAY.
Foreign Squadrons Later May shut
on Communication with the
Hellenic Capital.

Rome, March Is. 1t is officially an
nounced here this afternoon that the re-
suit of the pour parleurs of the powers
yesterday is definite agreement not to
reply to The Greek note, but to issue or
ders to the foreign admirals to establish
an immediate blockade of Cretan ports,
which will probably go in full operation
tomorrow.
This agreement is somewhat in the ma
ture of a concession to Russia and France.
Russia during the middle of last week
proposed. with France seconding the
proposition. another joint note to Greece,
insisting on the withdrawal of the troops
instead of an immediate resort by the
powers to force. Russia's action was in
spired, it is officially stated, by a certain
sympathy for Greece, but so many objec-
tons were raised by each power in turn
to the suggestion that the course has
finally been agreed upon. 1t is thought
the simplest way to carry out the threat
made in the Identical note will be the
blockade of the Cretan ports and the
landing of forces sufficient to insure the
maintenance of order. leaving further ac-
ton as to the fate of Crete to later nego-
tiations. This was the view of Russia at
the outset.

Committee Worked Much of the
Night Making Final Touches
washington. March 1.-the final work
upon the tariff bill occupied the time of
the republican members of the ways and

assembled for their last conference.
Chairman Dingley said the bill would he

all night to accomplish it's task AS soon
as the committees draft of the bill has
been completed, it will be sent to the gov
eminent printing Office and force of
picked men will be put to work upon it
there, SO 1t may be presented in the house
at o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is possi-
Die that changes may be made In some Of
the most important schedules, even at
TINS late hour, particularly the wool sched-
ule, over which there are differences CT
opinion in the committee.
The reciprocity scheme has not yet been

OF the plan are still subject to change
Apart from the possibility of revision to-

Will stand as they have been heretofore

of the bill changed before it is given to
the house. Chairman Dtngley said to-
night that 1t has not been decided how
much time would be allowed the tariff

TWO BIG wARsHIPs ARE OVERDUE
Columbia, With the Puritan in Tow
| Has Not Been Sighted.

Washington, March 14.-No news of the
United States steamers Columbia and Puri-
tan was received by the navy department to-
day but notwithstanding alarming rumors as
to the safety Of the big monitor Puritan, the
officials of the navy department are under
no apprehension as to the safety of either the
monitor OF her convoy. 1t is said that Or
ders given to Captain Sands of the Columbia
when he left Hampton Roads to go to the as
sistance Of the disabled Puritan were elastic
and he may exercise his discretion in shaping
his course. The Puritan is almost as big as
the Columbia and the latter could not tow her
very fast. Under the most favorable condi-
tons at sea five six knots would be as
much speed as could be expected and provid-
ed that all went well and there were no broken
towing bits or hawsers, such as might be
expected to result from such an unwieldy tow
the vessels could not have reached Hampton
Roads before yesterday afternoon. Not hear
ing for some time, however, the department
officials concluded that Captain Sands had
gone on directly to New York, which was to
be the ultimate destination of the Puritan
as she Is under orders to try the new dry
docks there at the earliest opportunity. If
this is the case the vessels could scarcely
reach New York before tomorrow afternoon
even in fair weather.
