NO Jumping UP.
1t Keeps McNalI Busy Keeping
Insurance Companies From
Being Crooked.

insurance Commissioner Webb Nc
Nail has determined to force the Trav-
eIers' insurance company. the Aetna
insurance company and the Pacific
Mutual Insurance company, the three
companies that have written both life
ana accident insurance on one license
ana Tor one set of fees in this state, to
pay Tor their accident department sepa-
rateiy during the years that they have
zone business in Kansas
All OF the three companies have been
IN Kansas over 20 years. The separate
licenses and fees, with the interest al
lowed by law, will amount to in the
neighborhood of $780, OO
commissioner McNaI some time ago
decided that no company had a right
under the insurance law to write both
life and accident insurance under the
one license and for the one set of fees,
and the recent decision of the Wiscon-
SIN supreme court in regard to the
travellers company has caused him to
make up his mind to at once force the
matter.
AS soon as possible he will compute
the amount owed the state by each
company, and will then present the
DIS to the companies. If a refusal of
payment is made, the companies will be
shut out of the state and proceedings at
once commenced in the district court
to collect the amounts.
In talking about the matter today,
Commissioner McNall said:
I was greatly interested in the deciS-
ion of the supreme court of the state
of Wisconsin, recently handed down,
against the Travellers Insurance COM
pany of Hartford, Conn, affirming the
judgment of the appellate court for
over $50, 900 in back taxes that the afOre-
said Travellers Insurance company
owes to the state of Wisconsin. no
tice that on the heels of the decision
James G. Patterson, the president of the
Travellers, has submitted to an inter-
view concerning said judgment wherein
he states that if he can figure out a
federal question in the matter, he shall
take it to the supreme court of the
United States. This is the same COM
nit to an examination of the condition
of its assets. This company, in view of
this decision, and in view of the fact
that the laws of Wisconsin and Kansas
are similar in respect to insurance mat
tiers pertaining to fees, is indebted to
the insurance department of Kansas
several thousand dollars in fees, ac
crued during the past % years. The
matter will be computed in a short time
to Mr.. Patterson, and if same is not
paid, the Travellers Insurance company
will have some litigation on its hands
in the state of Kansas.
1.-The Aetna Life Insurance company
of Hartford, Conn, and the Pacific Mu-
tuaI Life Insurance company of San
Francisco, Cal, both doing accident
business as we'll as life, are in the same
position as the Travelers-an three of
aggregate of a great many thousand
dollars, which this department will pro-
coed to collect providing the same is not
paid

COL. FUNSTON'S LECTURE.
The Young officer is Greeted by an
Enthusiastic Audience.

With an audience composed of 600 en-
thusiastic people, all deeply interested
in the Cuban question and ever ready
to applaud any patriotic utterances,
Frederick Funston, 1ieutenant-cOlOnel of
the artillery of the Cuban insurgents,
gave his lecture at Hamilton hall
| WatsOn's orchestra played several Sc
lections while the audience was gather
ing.
on the stage were seated Governor
John w. Leedy, nearly all of the state
officers, Judge A. H. Horton, Judge
Kingman, DR.. and Mrs. H. w. ROby,
David Overmyer and many others well
known in Topeka. The speakers stage
was extended six feet forward from the
center of the stage and the front was
banked in palms. Above the stage two
immense American flags and large
Cuban flag made patriotic picture.
Small Cuban flags were hung about
the stage in great profusion. Above all
was a map of Cuba and above 1t the
words: Cuba Libre."
Twenty of the Elk members in even
ing dress acted as uShers.
1t was S:2O when Col. Funston and
David OVermyer arrived at the hall. AS
they entered the audience applauded
enthusiastically. Col. Funston bore
considerable weight on a cane which he
carried and David OVermyer assisted
him as they walked up the aisle toward
the stage. Col. FunstOns wounds are
such that walking is difficult for him.
When Mr. Overmyer had given the
lecturer a seat the audience again burst
forth in applause. Another selection by
the orchestra and David Overmyer
stepped forward and said to the audi
ence: Ladies and Gentlemen, you
honor yourselves and human nature by
your presence here tonight, to present
your welcome and to honor your gal
liant young fellow Kansan. You may be
proud to honor this brave American cit
izen who has fought on more than a
score of battlefields and has shed his
blood for the Cuban insurgents, against
the most cruel and remorseless power
of modern times.
7 know what you are thinking Of
Maine and the dead bodies. And you
are thinking that if the court of in
quiry finds that the disaster was the
result of Spanish treachery, how you
will further honor the brave young Col.

She Stands This Just as She
Stands Maine Explosions
With Equanimity.

New York, March 4.-Indian Head,
the rocky eminence which overhangs
the Hudson at the point opposite Fort
George, is to be blown up today by
means of dynamite.
The blast is to be set off by the con-
tact of an electric current. The rock,
which is to be blown into pieces,
weighs about $50, 600 tons, and from s.
900 to 5000 pounds of dynamite are dis
tributed through tunnels and holes that
have been drilled in the rock.
The displaced rock is to be used in
matchmaking roads, and thus the pic
turesque formation that has Overhung
the river for centuries, will be crumbled
to particles and distributed over miles
of country.
Indian Head gots its name because it
had the appearance of an aboriginal
chieftain brooding over the departure of
his race and the encroachments Of civ
ilization.
The spot has always been famous as
one of the most beautiful along the rug
ged banks of the Hudson.

CITY POLITICS.
Candidates Are Coming Out

For the City Council in All
the Wards.
MIR. NETTELS RETIRES

He Desires.
Has Been a Good Councilman
Gossip About Town.
IR. NETTELS RETIRES

The city campaign is open and the
ward workers are out ready to support
the men who offer them the most mon
ey.
In this case the election will not be a
fruitful one for the political vuItures,
for the offices are all minor ones with
but little salary attached and the can
didates therefore cannot afford to pay
much for workers
But there is no dearth of candidates.
In the First ward Councilman PattiSOn
will probably not be a candidate for re-
H. w. Cheney, who was the opposing
candidate to Councilman Skinner a
year ago, is again q candidate. No one
else has yet appeared and the indica-
tons now are that the fight will not be
bitter.
In the Second ward Councilman Ste
phensOn's term expires. He does not
wish to be a candidate for third term,
but some of his friends have urged him
to serve the city for two years more.
He has shown no disposition to allow
the use of his name up to this time
Two other strong candidates who have
been mentioned are L. D. EversOle, the
contractor, and Ed Halves, who is an
eX-councilman.
In the Third ward G. H. Nettels has
positively refused to again be a candi-
date, though he has served but one
term, and has made an excellent rec
ord. He says that he cannot afford to
spare the time necessary to do the work
well. People who live in the dry dis
trict," insist that they shall be repre-
scented, and two men who live outside
the water limits have already appeared
in the field. The most prominent of
these as ex-State Architect J. G. Hol-
land. Another candidate is D. E. Dick
inson, who lives in Lowman Hill. The
young crowd" has already brought
forward a candidate in the person OF {.
B. Merriam, a bright young man who is
connected with the firm of 7. E. Bow
man & Co. Lawyer F. P. Lindsay is
also thinking of entering the race. He
was a candidate last year against John
Elliott but was defeated.
The situation in the Fourth ward IS
not so far advanced as in the other
wards.
Councilman Burgess, who has served
four terms, is the representative whose
term expires. He does not know wheth-
er or not he will again be a candidate,
but some pressure is being brought to
bear to induce him to again become
one The only other person mentioned
so far is w. P. Thompson.
In the Fifth ward it is practically
conceded that Councilman Warner VIII
be reelected
The fight for the school board bids
fair to be interesting though the can
didates have not yet been doing much.
There are contests in sight in nearly
every ward, and the old school book
tight will probably cut some figure
though that was practically settled
year ago.
