Webb rICNaII Explains An Attempted
Examination.

Superintendent McNall has filed an az
fidaVit in the Federal court giving his
reasons why the Connecticut Fire Insur-
ance Company was shut out of Kansas.
He says that he ordered an examination
because he had reason to suspect that it's
standing was not good. Another rea-
son was failure to make proper re-
port. A third was that the valued policy
law was being violated. The latter i'm
preston was verified in the recent taxi
ing Of depOsitiOns in Chicago. In send
ing in the annual report the page of the
printed blank on which salaries of Off
GERS was to be given was cut out and
the page for statement Of Kansas
losses was cut out, filled out and sent
separate from the report itself and was
not sworn to. He says that in the TAX
ing of depOsitions at New York in the
case instituted by this company to en-
join him from shutting them out the
president and secretary were not placed
on the stand, although the notice said
they would be and that his view Of their
failure to do so was that they were afraid
that McNall's attorney, who was pres
ent, would cross examine them and get
information which they did not want the
public to have. In addition to the affi-
daVits Superintendent McNall files a
number of letters, one being from the
president Of the company in which he
compliments McNall's examiners for
their excellent work in examining the
accounts of the company.

Ruppenthal Wlthdraws.

The Populist judicial committee Of the
Twenty-third judicial district Of Kansas
met Saturday and accepted the resig-
nation of ]. c. Ruppenthal, of Russell.
They then indOrsed Allen D. GilkesOn,
the Democratic candidate for Judge.
Every county Of the district was repre-
sented. The meeting was marked by
harmony, enthusiasm, general good feel
ing and an earnest desire to promote the
interests of the allied forces. This ac-
tion improves the chances for the cleo
tion Of Gilkeson for Judge, and will
secure the unanimous support of the
Democrats of the Sixth district for Con-
gressman N. B. Mccormick and make
certain the enthusiastic Democratic sup
port of the State ticket. Leading Dem
Ocrats from the several counties were
present and pledged Gilkeson's and their
own hearty support to the Populist State
and Sixth district Congressional ticket.
Mr.. Ruppenthal did not desire to be-
come candidate in the first place and
was desirOus Of taking such action as
would improve the political situation.

Brown system Extended.

The employees Of the Pittsburg, Besse-
mer & Lake Erie will hereafter work
under the Brown system of discipline, 1t
having recently been adopted by that
company. Under this plan employees
will, as heretofore, be dismissed for the
graver offenses, but in all other cases
one demerit will be charged up against
the offender for every day Of suspension
that would have been given him under
the old conditions. Sixty demerit marks
will render an employe subject to dis
missal, but with the credits which may
be obtained against them this number
should prove amply sufficient for every
jealous and faithful worker. A perfect
record for six months will be allowed to
cancel ten demerit marks; perfect rec
ord for nine months will give a credit
Of not exceeding twenty demerit marks
while the same showing for year will
put thirty marks on the other side of
the ledger. No credit will be allowed for
less than six months consecutive service

A Well Merlted Compliment.

The Saltwater Gazette has the follow
ing complimentary notice of John A.
O'Shaughnessy:
During the past few days the st. Paul
newspapers have announced John A.
OShanghncssy as a strong possibility for
appointment as insurance commissioner,
which will probably come as a surprise to
many of the residents of the city, as
1T was not generally known that Mr.
Shaughnessy has aspirations in that
direction. AS matter of fact, he has
not made any strenuous efforts to secure
the appointment, although it is well I'M
derstood among his friends that it would
be acceptable to him. There is proba-
bly, no man in the state; of Minnesota
who is better qualified for the office of
insurance commissioner than Mr.
OShaughnessy. For IL years he was
engaged in the insurance business in this
city, and at the present time is secretary
of the insurance branch of the Ancient
Order Of Hibernians, the prosperous con-
dition of which is largely due to his ef-
forts. He has made careful study OF
all kinds Of insurance, and is recognized
by those in that line of business as an
authority. AS to his political claims for
consideration, it is we'll known that Mr..
OShaughnessy has been loyal and life
long Democrat, and is one Of the leaders

At the Bij0u.

Good business continues to be the rule
at the Bijou, the character of the attrac-

this playhouse is receiving.
Following Black Patti, and commence
ing with performance tomorrow matt
nee, for New Years week, and including
special matinee Monday New Years
day, the most popular of all comedies,
AT Gay Coney Island" will hold the
boards.
The principal claim to fame for this
production is it's departure from the or
binary groove 1t is believed seashorc
incidents were not used for stage pur-
poses up to the advent of this play. That
there should be limitless opportunities
for humorous dramatic construction from
this theme, it would appear, should have
long since occurred to the playwright
However, this Industrious genius has
finally commenced the cultivation of this
unique field, and no doubt there will he
many to follow in "CoDey Islands" foot
steps. Theater-goers, however, prefer
the original in all things theatrical, and
have not apparently yet had enough of
the humorous features, musical diver
sions and elaborate scenic pictures pro-
vded by cat Gay Coney Island"

SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH
A Notable Wedding.

The event Of the holiday season in the
parish of st. Anthony, Northeast Min
neapolis, was the marriage, on the 9th
inst, of jeremiah O'Callaghan and Miss
Lizzie Jones. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Father James O'Reilly,
of the Church Of St. Anthony of Padua,
at his residence, at o'clock p. nj.
The wedding party Immediately re-
paired in carriages to the residence of
the groom, 1909 University avenue north
east, where refreshments were partaken
of, and general good time enjoyed by
a few invited guests. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. and Mrs. O'Callaghan to send out
a general invitation to their many friends
next week. and celebrate their wedding
in a social way. Their residence is a
large and commodious one, and Mr..
OCallaghan says that nothing will be
omitted on the occasion to add to the
pleasure and happiness of his guests,
Mr.. OCallaghan has been resident Of
the East Side for As years. and is one Of
the most highly respected and well-to-do
citizens i'll Minneapolis. Much of the
farm lands which he owned and cult
waited on the East Side in early days, he
sold in the boom times at almost fabu-
lous prices. The realty which he still
owns in this city consists of five acres
in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis.
This land is we'll improved, and yields
him handsome yearly rental, which
alone would make him independent. But
Mr.. O'Callaghan is, happily, a man who
never lost u dollar in any of the numer-
Gus bank failures in this city during the
knows but himself how much solid coin
of the realm he has laid away for rainy
day; but it is generally believed there
are few men in Minneapolis today who
can draw check for larger sum. The
court house records show that his annual
taxes in this city alone are more than
1000. He also owns 160-acre tract of
land in the city of Bismarck, N. D., be-
sides other very valuable out-of-town
property. He has furnished his residence
with everything essential to respectable
and comfortable living, including piano,
one of the finest in the market, which he
gave to his wife as wedding present.
Mrs. O'Callaghan was born and brought
up in Kentucky. She has been a resi-
dent of Minneapolis for nearly two dec
AIDES, and was employed as bookkeeper
for the wholesale house of Hooker &,
Manley, on First avenue north, for 1G
years. She is refined and cultured
lady, and will be a valuable accession to
the best society of Northeast Minneap-
oils.
The writer wishes Mr.. and Mrs. OCal-
laghan smooth sailing on the sea of life,
with just enough little squalls" to break
the monotony of long voyage and make
life interesting. w. K.
