story That Insurance War Has Been
Inaugurated is Denied From Des
Moincs.
Special to Tines Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 23.-The story
printed by morning paper in Des
Moines Tuesday of this week about
war in insurance rates has proved to
be largely a dream. Every insurance
man of standing in Dies Moines denies
that any war is In progress. The state
ment that the big outside companies
are trying to kill the nome companies
by starting war and by overhead
writing is punctured by the firms on
was said to have been done. Both of
II hese firms have announced that their
business has altogether or largely been
placed with home concerns, and that
there has been no overhead writing in
any instance. An insurance rate war
in Des Moines would be a serious thing
not only for this city but for the whole
state 1T would undoubtedly extend TO
other cities and would probably cover
most of the state before it was finished.
1t has been illustrated fully that the big
eastern concerns are able to kill off
small home companies by cutting rates
Lii a rate war is inaugurated. But In
the end the result Is unfavorable to the
people insured as we'll as to the home
companies, for the big companies are
inevitably sure to make back their lost
money after the nome companies have
been driven out of business by putting
up the prices. But happily the rate war
has not begun YET in Des Moines.

Clinton, Aug. 23.-There will soon
pass down the Mississippi river five of
the most powerful towboats ever built

being built at Dubuque, which will soon
be launched. Two of the boats will be

being built for the government. They
are for the use of the Mississippi river

a steel hull which contains 200 tons of
material. In length they are 1171a feet,
with thirty-six feet beam and five and
one-half feet hold. There are four
boiler decks and cabin. When COM

Uncle Sam has already selected the

The names are as follows: Sachem.

The five bouts complete will cost the

1t Will Probably Be Called for Trial
Early This Week.

NEW YORK, Oct 29.-Two of the most
important murder cases pending in this
city will appear on the calendar of the
criminal courts for trials this week. Each
case involves the life Of young man
charged with the murder Of woman
older than himself crimes of which 9TH
er men were first suspected, and in each
case the prosecution will rely on circum-
stantial evidence. There the parallel
ends Roland B. Molineux is under in=
dictment for causing the death Of Mrs.
Katherine j. Adams by poison intended
for another. William Neufeldt is alleged
to have killed Miss Annie krsnman,
relative in order to steal her jewelry.
Special interest is felt in MollneuXs
case because of the veil of mystery and
romance surrounding the crime Of which
he is accused. His fate will hinge mainly
upon the opinions of experts in hand
writing. District Attorney Asa Bird
Gardner announces that he will be ready
to begin Molineux's trial Monday or the
next day. The experts have Tong since
concluded their work, and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne has been kept
hard at work making final preparations
