The state charter board on the 9th
again turned down the application Of
the New York zinc company Of Della
ware for authority TO do business in
Kansas. The authorized capital OF the
company Is 500, 900, but when II first
applied for authority to do business II
had only $1,000 paid up. Now II
schedules property as follows; Real
estate, s575, 600; personal property, s75..
900; stocks, bonds, ETC., $4,000; mer.
chandise, $4,000; cash. ss,16l.4S The
board holds that until the company
gives more satisfactory evidence Of the
value Of the real estate than bare
statement, authority to do business in
Kansas will be- withheld. The board
also turned down the application Of
two concerns whose object is only TO
own real estate.
Democratic Ticket Disqualified.
Albert Perry, the Doniphan county
democratic committee chairman who
filed libel suits against the Troy Times
and Wathena Star, was denounced by
the recent democratic county conven-
ton. Perry then filed n protest against
the validity of the convention and its
nominees. alleging that the convention
was called TO meet at one place and met
at another. The case was tried before
court Of three county officers, all re.
publicans, who upheld Perry's protest
and all the nominees OF the democratic
convention were excluded from the
ticket. The decision also leaves the
local democrats without county COM
mittee.

KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
Tho zlmmer Law Knocked Out.


By recent decision Of the state SUI
preme court, the thinner law, impos-
ing tax Of ten per cent. on the pre-
miums of aninsurance contracts writ
ten on Kansas property by companies
not authorized to do business In the
state, was declared unconstitutional.
The decision was rendered in the ha-
beas corpus proceedings brought by
Thomas Page, Topeka miller, who
refused to pay the tax. The object Of
the law was 10 compel all insurance
companies to take out license to. do
business in the state by taxing their
business to death us long as they re-
fused to come in. This decision rem
ders the state insurance superintendent
powerless to prevent underground"
insurance. The court holds that since
the contracts are made outside of the
state they are good within the state,
and even IL the companies IRE not au.
thorized to do business in the state
their policies can be enforced. The
policyholdcrs, however, must go out
Dide of the state to sue.
Eastman Gets q Land Once.
Advices from Emporia were that d.
W. Eastman had been notified from
Washington Of his appointment to be

Eastman had been appointed census
supervisor Of the Fourth congressional
district, but Senator Baker protested
and the appointment was withdrawn
and Charles $. Briggs, of Carbondale,
named instead. Then Eastman was
slated for the receivership OF the Atchi-
son national bank, but again he was
disappointed and now he is safely
lodged in very profitable land office.

Travellers on country highway who

The court says, further, that, IL the

of the traveller TO stop, in order to bet
