INSURANCE PROFITS.
Additional Reports Lower the Per
centage Of Losses to Premiums.

Twenty-six more fire insurance COM
pdnies have reported to Insurance Com
missioner McNall, and by their figures the
average per cent of losses paid to premi-
urns received has been reduced from 80
per cent to q per cent. This shows that
fire insurance in Kansas is even a more
profitable business than shown by the first
eleven companies heard from. There are
now but few companies that have not
reported.
The percentage of losses paid to premi-
unnS received by the respective tWenty-SiX
companies is as follows:

Robinson Day.

Circus day is almost here, and it
goes without saying that very little
else is talked of in this community.
No circus that has ever exhibited
here has ever been preceded by war
mer enconiums upon its merits, and
there is no doubt that the John Rob
inson Greatest of All American
Shows will break all records when
it exhibits at Rapid City on Tues
day, June 9TH. The John Robinson
show not only belongs to history,
but is has also done more than any
other show to make the history of
high-class amusements in America.
From the day that the first preli-
minary announcement of its engage.
ment in this city was announced,
its success was assured. Louis Cyr.
the Canadian strong man, is him
self a feature sufficient TO crowd the
great hippodrome pavilion at every
performance, while his associate,
Horace Barre, is scarcely less fam
ed for his stupendous strength and
powers of observation-disclosures. Then
there are enough other great feat
ures to give the show a distinctively
me%ritorious character. The Harvey
Family of acrobats, the aerial Broth
ers LaRole, the Miller Family Of
bicyclists, Samuel Burt, the marve-
lous equilibrist, and the long list of
wOrld-famous riders constitute a
galaxy of great stars absolutely i'm
possible to duplicate, and even they
are but a very small part of the
great features that give such a super
Tor character to the exhibition. It
is suggested that out-of town people
should make special efforts to arrive
in the city before the parade which
leaves the show grounds at 1Oo'clock.
The display will undoubtedly be the
finest ever seen in this section.
Two herds Of massive elephants,
hundreds of blooded horses and
and scores of the most magnifcently
carved and ormented cages and tab
leau-cars ever exhibited on the
streets of any city, combined with
a perfect sea Of brilliant decorative
coloring, will make the Edisplay one
to be remembered long after [ circus
day has passed away.

Committed Suicide.

Soren Jensen, a Swede who has
made his home in this section for the
past ten years, committed suicide at
an early hour Monday morning.
On Saturday he was seen to have a
bottle of whiskey and while
at home someone about the place
thought to play a practical joke by
replacing the liquor with cold coffee.
When he came to drink he discover
ed the change and became very
angry toward everyone about him.
Later he became melancholy and
brooded quietly over the affair. He
arose early Monday morning and
was heard to go back to bed again.
Desiring some articles in his room,
Mrs. Jensen sent for them. When
the door was opened the body was
found lying On the bed, the throat
being cut from ear to ear with a
razor. The coroner was hastily;sum-
moned, but the inquest disclosed
the facts practically as given above.
The body was inferred in Mountain
View Tuesday afternoon at one O
clock.

A FRANK STATEMENT.
From the Macon News.

From the Macon News.
Chairman Hanna, of the sound money
currencY-Teform junta, has taken advant-
age of the lull between Santiago and
San Juan to insert himself into the stu
alton.
He has prepared statement, address
ed TO the business men of the United
States, setting forth the results of the
work of the sound money junta during
the last session of congress in which he
declares the present status of the
undertaking to secure a comprehensive
currency law is encouraging beyond what
was expected.
The bill, as finally agreed upon and re-
ported to the house, he says, has been
very generally approved by almost every
one supporting the effort to accomplish
comprehensive monetary legislation.
But, concludes Chairman Hanna, after
a long discourse on the subject, go leg
slation can be enacted until both branch
es of congress are in control of the re-
publicans and the sound lmoney' demo-
Gratis"
Truly this is frank admission. And
it is as refreshing as it is frank. This
admitted coalition between the republ-
cans and s0-called sound money demo
Gratis is sufficient to open the eyes of all
those who have thought or pretended to
think there was anything democratic
but the name left in the o md money
democratic organization, So-called.
Chairman Hanna makes no attempt to
disguise the fact He frankly declares
that this SHOULD inspire new hope and
unite the business men of the country in
an effort to secure, in the November cleo
ton, not only the control by the repub-
lican and sound money element of the
lower house but to overcome the major
in the senate now held by the fiat non
ely people, and thus make sound money
legislation possible. "

cERvERA's WRECKED FLEET
Some Strange Things That Took Place on
and Near Them.

/
and Near Them.
! Strange things took place on and near
the wrecked Spanish ships. On the
/ Vizcaya men prepared to meet death as
naked as they were born, shrieking in
drunken frenzy. On the Oquendo and
the Colon officers and men prepared for
death as for wedding, putting on
their finest clothing. The Oquendo's
/ captain ordered all the oil that could be
obtained to be brought on deck He
/ flooded his cabin with it. He had it
poured over the decks, which were run
ming with blood. The slaughter on that
ship had been frightful. Then it is said
he shot himself rather than to become
a prisoner, although this is denied, and
one report is that he escaped. Hundreds
of sailors, mad with fear, the effect of
| the brandy and the intense heat, leaped
overheard to try and swim ashore and
thus escape. There is a strong surf off
Santiago. The waves are sometimes 10
and 10 feet high, and man must be a
good swimmer to live in the sea- The
Spanish sailors struggled III it, and III
many places as they approached the
shore they found keen eyed Cubans
waiting for them, eager to kill them
one by one, to pot them as they strug-
gled to dry land. The sea was better
than the burning hell on the ship.
In my dreams | had seen the Vizcaya
in just such distress and succored her
crew as then, and in doing so l disposed
them about my little deck precisely as
l had done in my dreams These are
the words of an officer of the American
navy, else they would be hardly worthy
Of belief. The Colon was the only ship
that surrendered before she sank, but
her officers had made sure that she
should go to the bottom by opening all
the water plugs and smashing the port
holes. Her crew were wildly drunk.
The men shouted "Vive los Ameri-
canosW Some of the sailors were so
helpless from liquor that they had to be
hoisted on board after the fight in a
sling. New York World
