AMERICANS NOT WANTED.

American tourists are going to have a
pitiful time viewing the diamond jubilee
procession next June, writes Julian Ralph
In the New York Journal. All the leading
hotels in London say that no provision was
to be made for Americans.
There is no money in serving American
tourists" said one. They only come once
a year and spend little in the hotels. We
prefer to favor Englishmen, who come to
London every fortnight, bring their fam
lies and take their meals in the hotels.''
OF three large hotels in the heart of the
town one is now filling with guests who
intend to remain over the jubilee. At the
others we were told they would book no
one till May l, and then they will select
Englishmen who are regular customers. If
any rooms remain they will give them to
Americans. but as London will contain 1O,-
OOO, 900 people on jubilee day, there is a
small chance for tourists.

The Countess Castellane and husband and

One house fronting st. Paul's church has
already been rented by spectators for ju-
bilee day for S135. 900. The window from
OF a tiny photograph shop Ill Piccadilly sold

There Is an immense traffic in windows

the purchases are now solely by spectators
no one knows what the prices will be when
the public begins buying.
And no one knows what this years swarm
OF Americans will do. They must find lodg.
ings in the suburbs, like Hammersmitt
and Earls Court. and be at the mercy OF
ravenous housekeepers. Already Londoners
are all planning to vacate their dwellings

are 80 per cent higher than last season.

The grand jury made a partial report on
Saturday and returned a small batch Of in
dictments. August Carlson, for robbing his
roommate, Charles Strobel, of $50 in cash,
was indicted for grand larceny. Carlson has
been in the county Jail since his arrest, a
few DAYS after his crime. Thomas Wilson, a
tramp, was indicted for gross lewdness and
has been given a home in the county Jail
for three months. Harrison Gilman and
Hattie Betkers were indicted for adultery.
Gilman was sent to Jail by Justice Cook to
await the action of the grand jury, but the
woman was discharged upon the application
of her husband, Zed Bethers, who announced
that he would not prosecute her, and made
the necessary affidavit withdrawing the
charge. But the grand jurors thought other
wise. The woman was taken from her hus-
band late Saturday afternoon and locked in

A Close Call,

In stepping over a revolving roll in the
Lukens iron mill at Coalesville, Pa, Frank
Griffith, an employee, had a Embarrassing ex-
perience. The tail of his overcoat caught
on the roll, and he was himself wound
around the latter in a jiffy.
Employees sickened and turned their faces
away, expecting to see Griffith crushed into
a shapeless mass, as the space through
which he passed in the machinery wee
| eighteen inches in diameter at its widest
and his head went grinding against the
iron.
The roll had made ten or fifteen revolu-
lions before the machinery could be stopped
Then his companions rushed to unwind and
extricate what they supposed to be only a
corpse. They finally got Griffith out after
cutting off his outer clothing, prying looss
his awful grip upon one of the spikes OF
tho roll, and pulling the colled-up body
from the box-like structure surrounding the
shaft. Then, 10 and behold! he had suf-
fered nothing worse than a dislocated shout
der, a mass of bruises and a fright that
was enough to have killed a more nervous
man. He will recover nicely, for he was
able to walk home.

M'CoOL JUNCTION, Neb.. April 4.-(Spe-

are receiving the benefits of a cut in rates.
An advance of 3 cents per bushel for ear
corn, not only here but in surrounding
towns. is not caused by the reason Of corn
advancing in value so much as that the rate
for hauling has decreased. There is no doubt
but what grain brokers are getting cut rates

farmers are getting means thousands of dol

STAND BY THE MUTUALS.
Some Timely Remarks on Why
Mutual Fire Insurance Companies
Should Be Sustained.

The following article from the St.
Charles Times is timely and to the
point.
To whom are the people of. st.
Charles indebted for a lower rate of
insurance? There is but one answer.
To the mutual insurance companies
who are insuring the people against
loss at a rate nearer to cost and as
near to cost as safety to the insured
will permit. A war of determination
has been declared by the union COM
panies, mutual rates are to be met
and lower, if necessary to clean them
out. Through the means of extor-
tionate rates because they had the
power to levy them they have
ACCOMPLISHMENTS sums of money,
now their capital, and with this
capital they propose to mOnopoliZe the
business again, as they have done in
the past.
A combination of man who can con-
troll a business involving millions of
money and so conduct it, and by
means of exhorbitant rates can de-
clare 81 per cent profit on it's annual
business. is simply robbery. The in
sured have had no remedy for years.
Just had to stand up and deliver the
high handed rates charged. The
union companies have made a large
reduction in rates to meet those of
the mutuals. just as quickly as the
mutuals are driven out up will 20 the
rates and they will be higher than be-
fore in order to make up what is lost
to them while the reduction lasts.
The patrons OF insurance companies
should be sure to give the mutuals
sufficient amount of business to keep
them in the business, and keep rates
at a reasonable fisu If DOT, I'D 90
the rates again, and a more arbitrary
rate will be charged than ever. At
least 81 900 per year can be saved to
the citizens of st. Charles by keeping
the mutuals in business, and it can be
done by giving them fair share of
the business here.
In New England most of the in
surance business is done by the
-mutuals. The Citizens Fire Associa-
tion of Mankato is the pioneer of the
mutuals in this state and has been
well supported by the business men
of the state. The continuance of this
support is what they ask, aud will
give good, safe indemnity, and its
patrons will save a large sum of
money. Some men think they are un-

THE NEW CAPITOL.

There is being more or less fault
found with the decision Of the capitol
commission as to the stone that shall
enter into the construction Of the new
capitol building. The objection made
is because every particle of the ma
terial is not from our own state. The
FREE PRESS has taken a strong posi-
tion in regard to the recognition of
Minnesota stone, and it's views are
we'll known. We believe the commits
sion has done the best under the cir
cumstances that it could. 1t must be
remembered that three different legis-
latures have declared that the amount
set aside for the purpose of construct
ing the capitol must under no circum-
stances be exceeded, and the gov
ernor has declared that so far as he is
able this shall be carried out. This
precluded all possibility of construct
ing it in granite, as the cost would be
too great. AS it is Minnesota stone
has been we'll recognized, as it is used
for the greater part of the building,
and the cost of the Georgia marble
will doubtless not exceed one
twentieth of the total cost Of the new
structure. The commission has wisely
decided that the marble shall be ship
ped in the rough, and cut in this state.
AS it has divided the work up among
various kinds of stone Mime
sofa labor will practically do all the
work.
Outside of the granite the only
other stone seriously thought of in
the construction Of the capitol was
the Winona stone. But this was not
considered because the quarry had not
been opened up to sufficient extent
to warrant the owners in giving a
guarantee that they would be able to
furnish sufficient suitable stone for
such a great structure. And no one
in Minnesota would want this great
building half or two-thirds completed,
and then be unable to secure suitable
stone with which to finish it. No
other stone in the state has been SER
iously considered.
As it is the state will have an i'm.
posing and beautiful building, and I'm.
der the circumstances Minnesota
stone and interests have been, as we
have said, we'll recognized. The COM
mission had hard duty before it, but
it seems to have taken a broad view
of the matter and performed it in
way that, we believe, in time, will
prove generally satisfactory to all.
