MUST GIVE UP CLARKSON.
Ohio and Kansas Following a Similar
Course About Combines.

Webb McNaIl, superintendent of fnsur-
ance, is today sending out to the sixty
nonresident fire insurance companies do
ing business in this state, official notices
ordering them to at once abandon the
use of the ClarksOn rate book or suffer
the consequences, which Mr. MeNan
frankly tells them will be a cancellation
of licenses to do business in the state.
It is interesting to note that the attor-
ney general and insurance commissioner
of Ohio are making the same kind of a
fight and are compelling eastern as well
as home companies to break away
from the trust agreement on maintaining
rates.

THE DOG TAX.
a Special Collector Appointed for
This Business.

Mayor Fellows has abandoned the old
system of having the sanitary officers
collect the dog tax and in day or two
will announce the appointment Of A W.
Hopkins as dog tax collector. Hopkins
was one of the city jailers under the lasr
administration and made an excellent
record. His appointment is a good one.
The position will pay $50 per month
The city council first tried the expert
rnent of having the sanitary officers do
the collecting last year. 1t was found
that they could not act in both capacities
without sighting some of the work and
it has accordingly been changed TO the
old basis.
It is to be hoped the dog tax collector
will be thorough in his work. particularly
that of ridding the city of a number OF
worthless dogs.

GENERAL 0RDWAY'S DEATH.
Probably fastened BY the Sad and
Recenf Events in Connection With
hayward Dauqhter.

NEW YORK, Nov. General Albert
Ordway died tonight at the Hoffm an
house. General Ordway and his wife re-
turned from Europe last Wednesday.
They engaged rooms at the Hoffman
House. Next day the general was taken
SICK and he continued to grow weaker and
weaker until 7:15 o'clock this evening
when he passed away. = The general S
death was doubtless FASTENED by the sad
and recent events in connection with his
wayward daughter, Bettina Girard. The
latter, complete wreck, was day or two
ago transferred to a private sanitarium
from Bellevue Hospital owins to the
pleading OF his vile, who had become
reconciled to her daughter. General Ord
way finally consented to the return OF the
prodigal, and a reunion of the family in
washington was arranged.
General Ora ways death is attributed by
the attending physician to Jaundice and
pleurisy, which developed from a cold
contrac ed in Paris.

YERY F0RCIBLY ILLUSTRATED.
While Ministers We're PREACHING
Daring Thieves Made Raid on
the Horses Hitched Outside.

OMAHA, Nov. I.-This section is in q
state of excitement to-day. For week a
spirited revival has been in progress at
the local Methodist church. Rev. Horace
Payne of the Missouri Conference has
been conducting the series of meetings,
and he has worked up such great interest
that all the ministers of the county agreed
to assist at the services last night. The
big meeting was thoroughly advertised.
The subject was to @be. as announced by
Rev. Mr. Payne, "The sin of greed and
the certain damnation of him who appro =
PIRATES that which IS another's.'
The Westinghouse is large build ing
situated in grove near the edge OF town.
Seven preachers were present and the
farmers from all over the county attended.
They hitched many fine teams to the trees
around the church.
The min listers spoke eloquently, and,
strangely enough, all of them adverted
to horse-siealing and the evil OF horse
trading as practiced by many sharpers as
among the worst evils of the West. They
seemed to dwell at length on this phase of
evil.
After the meeting broke up it was dis
covered that an organized raid had been
made on the fine horses hitched around
the church. Sixteen of the most valuabl
horses in the county were stolen, together
with TWO fire buggies. The raid was evl-
IDENTIFY arranged in advance and partici-
pated in by several skillful horsetheves.
No trace OF the gang has been found,
though number of armed posses have
been beating the ravines along the river
to the north. The ground was frozen,
and no trace OF the trail of the stolen
stock was lett. An organized gang OF
horsethieves has operated in this Terri
tory for some time, and the work is at
trlbuted to them.

HAWAII. SHOULD

Pointed Reasons Why a Fresh

Correct Form of Republican Cow

on the Islands.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL.


NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-"The Hawaiian
Disgrace is the caption of a leading edi-
torial in to-day's Times. 1.-Two reasons,
among many others. why we cannot de.
Gently annex Hawaii it says, "mu i'm

m ind.
"First-We cannot lawfully take adj
vantage of our own crime. We upset the
riehtfui Government of the islands and
put a hand al of re Dels in power. In vio-
lation of principles Of international law,
of 10 oral law and of our own traditions OF
strict neutrality we overthrow friendly
Government and set up another in its
place. We committed a crime for which
we have refused to make atonement. Ha-
waiian Holsters propose that we shall inn
mediateiv proceed 10 take the profits OF
our Iawiess enterprise and blackep our
record of guilt by a fresh crime.
"Second-We cannot set upa republican
form Of government in the Hawaiian
Islands. The Dole usurpers. with their
whole train of supporte ters. partners, ac-
complies and svmpathizers, constitute
less than 5 per cent of the population.
The other 95 per cent oppose annexation.
States in 1868. 1t is going to be re-estab-
lished In 1897 or in 1898 if Hawaiian specu-
lators have their way. Every body knows
that it is no part OF the jobsters' plans to
set up free institutions in Hawaiia. Dole
ganu of usurpers will rnle. Five per cent
OF the people will hold the other 95 per
cent in lhralldom."
A Washington special says: Senator
James K. Jones of Arkansas expresses S
opinion of the hawaiian annexation
scheme as follows:
II am opposed to it, first, because l am
unalterably opposed to extending our
territorial limits beyond this continent; !;
second. because the Hawaiian Islands are
SO remote from our coast line. Their de-
fense in the event of war would be enor-
mously expensive and troublesome to us;
third, because they do not com prise suffi-
cient area to m axe State and their main
tenance as a Territory would violate th e
intent of the constitutions fourth, because
it would be almost impossible for Con-
gress to devise a government for them
that would not result in confusion and
failure; fifth, because of the unfi5 and un-
desirable character of the population. No
matter how favorable surroundings for
improvement might be made, large per-
centage of the population wouId remain
unfit for citizenship. These reasons seem
to me to be self-evident and convincing."

proposed armor-plate plant have been

They call for an esta bishment OF a most
modern character, fitted with all appli-

armor plate by the most advanced pro-

pairing specifications for the plant, which
will be completed the latter part of this
week. 1t is intended by Secretary Long
to issue next week an advertise emeDt for
the plant, and when bids are received the
whole matter will be submitted for the ac-
tion of Congress. The plans call for the
erection of ten modern buildings, cover

in view OF the probable adoption in future
