LEE INSURANCE TAX.

Indiana's Governor Wants to Assess All
Policies Having n Surrender Value.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 1S.-Gov.
Mount, upon whose suggestion the
board of tax commissioners acted when
it directed that township assessors list
life insurance policies, says he will
give the subject prominence in his
message to the Legislature and will ask
that the law be amended so as to state
specifically that policies shall be
taxed. The governor says as a rule
men do not carry life insurance with a
view of providing against poverty;
they carry it as an investment Under
the decision of the supreme court life
insurance policy that has a cash sur
render value is property" and the
governor says there is no valid reason
why it should not be taxed.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 1S.-The board
of county commissioners is consider
ing proposition to buy a printing
plant and newspaper and have the

BY INCUBATION.

Secretary Wilson Thinks n Positive Cure
for Hog Cholera Has Been Discovered.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Nothing that
has occurred since he became secretary
of agriculture has given James Wilson
half as much qualification as the re-
suits of the experiments that have
been going on under his direction in
Iowa and Nebraska during the last
few months in the treatment of hog
"cholera" by incubation, for he
thinks the discoveries that have
thus been developed are worth
Sl0O,0OO,OOO a year to the people
of the United States. The exc
periments have been eminently sue
cessful and justify the belief that the
disease which has carried off so many
swine in the past years and has cost
the farmers of the country millions of
dollars cannot only be cured but pre-
vented at trihing expenditure of
money and labor

The Committee Sent to Omaha Has Decided

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 17.-If the plan
decided on Saturday by the Missouri
commission to the Transmississipp'
and international exposition is aY-
proved of and carried out by the peo-
pie of the state, Missouri will be rep

900 should be raised, $40, 900 to be ex-
pended in erecting a suitable building

SUICIDE BARS INSURANCE.
Person killing Himself while Sane Cannot
Realize on His Policy.


Realize His Policy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.--In the SUI
preme court Justice Harlan handed
down an opinion in the case of A.
Howard Ritter, executor of William
M. Runk, VS.. the Mutual Life Ipsur-
ance company of New York, involving
the question of whether the heirs of a
man who commits suicide when in
sound mind can recover on an insur-
ance policy. 1t appeared from the
facts that Mr.. Runk a resident of Phil
adelphia, committed suicide within
less than year after increasing his
insurance to the extent of 5000, 900,
making an aggregate insurance of
$500, 900 upon his life. 1t was shown
in the trial court that Runk was sane.
In deciding the case Justice Harlan
said that in fixing the premium the
company would naturally take into
consideration their circumstances
bearing upon the duration of life, and
no company would undertake to insure
against suicide. If any should make
such an attempt, it would, he said, be
against public policy and would
not be allowed. Concluding, he said
explicitly that no person committing
suicide and found to be of sound mind
could recover upon his policy.

FOR A UNIQUE DISPLAY.

One Nebraska County Wants TO Decorate a
Room at the Exposition with Cancelled
Mortgages.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 1s.-The citizens
of York county have requested that the
management of the Transmississippi
exposition in allotting space to them for
an exhibit, provide walls which they
can paper with cancelled mortgages
for 1897. 1t is explained that these
notes are usually of the finest litho-
graph work and printed in different col
ors, and the general effect may be made
pleasing to the eye as well as being a
witness to the unparalleled prosperity
that is visiting that section of the
state. Nearly $4,000 were paid in
excess of the amount represented by
mortgages filed in York county alone.

length the JOINT negotiations on the

THE GROWTH OF MERoUR.
Report That Deal Is On Involving
the Promising Rover Mine.

A. M. Spooner, we'll known in Salt
Lake and Camp Floyd mining circles,
was in from Mercur yesterday for the
Trst time for year, and while he
found that Salt Lake was still jogging
along and maintaining the even tenor
of it's way, he states that Camp Floyd
district has made a most substantial
growth during the past II months and
that in the operation and development
of the great Mercur mine twice as
much ore is exposed in this dividend
payer than was the case year ago,
and the Mercur, in a measure, sets the
pace for the rest of the mines and
prospects of the camp, nearly all OF
which have made most excellent
showing during the time speclhed
above.
In referring to the Mercur mine Mr..
Spooner stated the immense zones Of
ore exposed in the various workings Of
this property were perfectly bew1lder-
ing and that prominent mining experts
and biologists who have visited the
camp of late have expressed astonish-
ment and surprise at the vast amount
of milling mineral exposed in this prop
erty, to say nothing of the truly fiat
tering showing in the properties in
other portions of the district, including
the mines of the west dip and the SUM-
shine country, as well as in the Sacra-
mento and the Geyser- Marion, which
are in the very heart of the camp of
Mercur, and the sentiment has been
often expressed by them that were
Camp Floyd located in any other state
in the union or in any other country in
the world, the greatest excitment
would be rampant concerning it and
it's present population would be
quadrupled within a year.
In speaking Of the Rover, on which
he has a bond and option, Mr.. Spooner
stated that one of the objects of his
visit to the city was to transfer the
property into new hands, the option
having virtually been taken up by
him, and the impression was given out
that it would not be long now before
active work would be resumed in the
extensive operation and development
of this promising gold property.
