OlarksOn Falls in Line.

Chicago, January 21.-Harrison Clark
son, manager Of the rating bureau at
Topeka, Kas, after a conference with
Chicago managers, has decided to aban-
don the bureau and cancel the subscrip-
tion Of the companies.
The suits instituted by Mr.. Clarkson
to restrain Webb McNall, Insurance
Commissioners, from interfering with
the bureau, to which the companies were
made party, will be continued, as the
managers wish a decision on some of
the points involved. The Commissioner
ruled against the bureau under the anti
contract laws of the State.

Stock Insurance Frauds Prohibited.

Superintendent McNall is now after
companies which insure live stock and
pay on a basis OF the number OF head
owned rather than the number insured.
lie says: when stockmen take out in
surance to the amount Of $500 on
bunch of cattle he is laboring under the
impression that II $500 worth Of his
herd die he will get the $500 insurance.
Not so. The company will ask him
how many cattle he had in his herd.
Then 1t will pro-rate the insurance, and
will pay him insurance on each animal
that dies in proportion to the amount
the insurance bears to the value Of the
entire herd. If q stockman has 1000
head and $500 insurance, he will get so
cents per herd insurance for every steer
that dies, under the present system. l
don't consider that insurance. The in
surance received will not amount to as
much as the premium paid. II these
companies do business In Kansas after
March /, they will have to change their
policies so as to agree to pay the actual
loss up to the limit of their policy. No
more pro-rating will go"

will be a revelation. But there needs
to be an organized commission, author
lied by the Governor, to collect all ma
terial furnished by the counties and
place the same on exhibition. Although
each county exhibit will be separate and
distinct in itself, yet when grouped to-
gether they will represent the State;
consequently let each make an effort
to supply only the best, and establish
the fact that Kansas can always make
a favorable comparison with any state
Of the West, especially on this occa-
sion. The calling of meeting Of DEL
egates from all parts Of the State, COM
posed OF all who will serve voluntarily,
should be the next step in organizing
forces to take charge Of the work for
pushing Kansas representation to sue
cess. We hope that each county Will
respond for the benefit Of its own inter
ests and for the credit OF the State.

Kansas at Omaha Exposition.

Since an agreement has been reached
by which the various railroad Compa-
MES operating in the State have pledged
$4,000 in cash, provided like amount
shall be obtained by subscription
through the efforts of Governor Leedy,
IL is assured that total of $4,000 can

forward with their offers Of voluntary
subscriptions to aid the Governor in
securing the fund without delay
Through the efforts of Z. S. Tucker,
acting as commercial agent for Kansas
exhibits, many Of the counties have
subscriptions started and committees
at work. The western part of the State

Another Insurance Company Settles.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany has found that it is improbable to
fight the laws of Kansas and to refuse to
pay its losses, so it has settled the Mrs.
Emery loss at Kansas Ciey. This loss
was the cause of it's license being re-
voked by Superintendent McNall. This
was not the only cause, however, as the
company refused to give certain infor-
nation relative to its business which
was demanded McNall's efforts to
bring the companies to time seem to be

CITY OWNERSHIP WINS.
Recent Elections in lola and NeOdesha Show
Growth Of Sentiment.

For over year the people of the
growing city Of lola have been discuss
ing public ownership Of the natural gas
plant. Two plants have been mixed up
in litigation for some time and the court
fixed a price at which the city might
acquire both plants. This price was
100000 The testimony in the cases
showed that the profits were averaging
$4,000 per year.
Last spring at the city election the
public ownership adherents captured
the Republican convention and named
a ticket in harmony with their ideas.
The opponents named an Independent
ticket, but in spite of the fact that the
city Is strongly Republican the Repub-
lican ticket was beaten. BY reason OF
the city's growth 1t has become city
of the second class and a special elec-
tion was necessary.
This was held last week The Repub-
licans pretended to ignore the public
ownership question but named strong,
popular man to head the ticket. A cit
liens ticket was named by those favor
ing city ownership. A specially hard
fight followed. The citizens candidates,
headed by w. H. Mcclure, made public
ownership the issue. When the votes
we're counted he had 200 votes more to
his credit than his opponent had. Proper
petitions will be Immediately circulated
and an election to settle the ownership
question will soon be called The new
administration will push the movement
energetically and it will doubtless be
successful, the change in the past year
indicating that sentiment is rapidly
changing in favor Of sensible business
government. The example Of lola can
he followed with profit by many other
cities.

Neodesha has voted for municipal
ownership Of the natural gas plant, the
vote being eight to one A vote Of about
eleven to one was shown in favor Of a
city water-works plant. Each PROPOSE
tion carried with it the issue Of $4,000
bonds. The exact vote was 1872 to Al
for the gas plant and $40 to 80 for the
water works At previous election the
vote was five to one and six to one.
That election was declared invalid be-
cause some features Of the ballot
law were disregarded. The question is
now settled and another city has been
added to the growing list Of those which
are sensible enough to run their own
affairs.

Succeeds in Landing Mon aud Arms
on Cuban Soil.
The steamship Wanderer returned to
Key West Saturday after effecting a sue
cessful landing Of arms and ammunition
at three different points on the Cuban
coast. She left Key West early in July
with q force Of Cubans anxious to Join
their fighting compatriots, and 11S mem
bers Of the United States cavalry to pro-
tect the landing Of about 1000 rifles and
carbines, with nearly a million cartridges.
On July % she attempted to discharge
her cargo at Bahia Honda, province of
Pinar del Rio, but was fought of by q
force Of several hundred Spaniards. The
steamer then went to a point about six
miles east of Bahia Honda, where she met
a small party of insurgents from Col. Car
illo's force, but nc Spaniards. About one-
third of her cargo was discharged here,
and twenty five Cubans were put ashore.
The Wanderer then headed for the mouth
of the Manato River, where, on the night
Of July 30, she landed without difficulty
about the same quantity of arms and am.
munition and seven Cubans. From there
she went to Puerto Padre, where tho re-
mainder Of her cargo and men were dis
charged. All three landings we're made
without tho necessity of firing a shot.

Body or Young Woman Found in
the Lake.
Lashed about by a chain, to which was
fastened a hitching weight, the body of a
young woman, clad only in underwear,
was found on the government breakwater
at Milwaukee. The body had been in the
water for some time and was SO decom.
posed that not a vestigc of the features
remained. The raiment on the body was
Of the finest quality, the white underskirt
being trimmed with hand made lace and
the undervest being of silk. This latter
garment was stained with blood. The chain
with which the body was bound was I'M
provised for the occasion, as the twenty
pound weight had been fastened to 1t, not
by a snap such as is used on hitching
chains, but by prying q link, which had
not been closed again. A post mortem
examination was held. but the physicians
were unable to come to any conclusion,
owing to the condition of the body. The
police hope that someone will identify the
undertaking by reason of its being of
hand make, SO far as the lace trimming is
concerned. The police admit that it can
not be a case of suicide.

The Spanish Government ls Fully
Convinced that the Answer Will

Queen Approves Peace Terms.
A Sunday dispatch from Madrid says:
The queen regent has approved the gen.
eral lines of the reply of Spain to Ameri-
cas- peace terms. The government be.
lieves that the United States will accept
Spain's answer, which will certainly reach
the White House by Tuesday. AS a con.
sequence of the United States accepting
the reply liostilitics will Immediately af-
forwards be suspended.
From a we'll infOr med source it Is learn
ed that while the answer does not discuss
the basis on which the United States
makes essential the preliminary to peace
and which Spain accepts without reserva-
ton, it point out that in order to avoid
the detinitive negotiations being in any
way complicated by incidents of the war,
it is eXpedient to agree before hand to a
suspension of hostilities.
1t is reported that Duke Almodovar de
Rio, the minister of foreign affairs, and
Mons. Merry del Val, Spanish ambassador
to the vatican, will be selectcdt to represent
Spain in the negotiations.
The cabinet council terminated after
having completely confirmed the reply to
the United States, which, it is said, &C.
cepts the American conditions.

Spanish Garrisons Are Being Called

The insurgents in the province of Pinar
del Rio are we'll supplied with arms and
ammunition, thanks to many successful
filibustering expeditions. They are now
little troubled by tho Spanish forces,
which are being called rapidly to Havana
from every quarter. Where two months
ago there was large Spanish garrisons,
now there are only a few men, and these
make no attempt to pursue the insurgents
as they formerly did, %contenting them
selves with simply remaining at their
posts. The blockade of the ports west of
the Island of Pines is now so we'll MAIN
