No INCREASE IN RATES.

The Aetna Life Insurance Company
has not increased it rates nor reduced
the commissions paid to agents; the rea-
son is that it does not require so much
money to run the home office
Taking the average rate of ten lead
ing Companies at age twenty-five ON the
Twenty Payment Life plan we find that
the premiums average $292.63 for ten
thousand dollar policy, or $5,952.60 for
the twenty years. The Aetna's Fifteen
Payment Life at the same age costs
$297.20 or $4,45S for the fifteen years;
the difference in premium charge for the
full term being 81 ,493 80, equal to divi-
dend of 80 per cent. ON the annual prem
iums for the whole premium period after
the first two years. The comparison COR
responds with this for other ages.
The Aetna still pays the insured good
dividends, and is the only Company do
ing business i'm this country that has paid
an increasing dividend each year for
twenty-six consecutive years including
the year 1899.

General Otis Organizing Three From
Volunteers Who Wish to Remain.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Pursuing a
policy determined upon some months
ago, General Otis is organizing three
regiments in the Philippines, composed
of officers and men of the state volun-
teers who desire to remain in the serv-
ice. The army bill authorized this kind
of enlistment in the Philippines. If the
full complement cannot be made up
from these discharged volunteers in the
Philippines the regiments will be or
ganized and differed in skeleton form
until recruits can be sent from the
United States to fill them. General
Otis and the volunteer officers in the
Philippines have been consulting to see
how many men will enlist. The num-
Der has not been very large, as there
seems to be a desire on the part of the
volunteers to return to the United
States with their organizations.
General Otis has informed the de-
partment that he can organize these
regiments. It is proposed to send him
recruits from here to fill them to their
maximum limit. The arrangements re-
ferred to will give General Otis a fight
ing force Of over 33, 900 men on the line.
These plans have been approved by the
president and will be put into execu.
ton with the least possible delay.

English System to BE Adopted by the
War Department..
NEW YORK, June 16.-A special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Adjutant General Corbin stated that
it is the intention of the war depart
ment to apply the English system of
maintaining at home one battalion Of
all regiments serving abroad to the
the troops to be stationed in Cuba and
Porto Rico as well as the Philippines.
1t is not intended to Immediately or
der SO many b~attalions of entire regi-
ments on foreign service, but within a
year; General Corbin says he expects
that one battalion of each regiment
serving in the Philippines will be
brought to the United States and will
be the training school for recruits, the
hospital for officers and men invalided
home and the station of officers who,
after three years service abroad, are or
dered to the United States for q change
of duty. No definite time has been set
for applying the system to the troops in
the West Indies, but it will not be i'm.
mediately done.

PLANNING TO BUILD.
New City Will Soon Spring From the
Ruins of New Richmond.


uins of New Richmond.
New RICHMOND, Wis, June ia
new city is springing up out Of the
ruins in the devastated district, and
active building preparations have been
begun on every hand. John E. Glover,
the Hudson millionaire, has decided to
build a $4,000 building for the Manu-
factnrers' bank on the site formerly &C.
cupied by the Carey drug store.
MI. Glover's announcement has
caused a feeling of great confidence
among the business men, and many Of
them have decided to go ahead and re-
build on the site of their old locations.
1t was thought Immediately after the
cyclone that if the city was rebuilt the
business section Of the town would be
located in another part of the city. The
rapid progress made by the workmen
has greatly encouraged all who were
formerly in business, and it is certain
that the section leveled will be imme-
diately rebuilt.

STANDARD OIL METHODS.

Industrial Commission Hears an indie.
pendent Producer.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The indus.
trial committee heard a statement from
D. NJ. Lockwood, an oil producer OF
Zelienople, Pa, in opposition to the
Standard Oil company. The witness
declared that this company had driven
the Independent companies into bank.
ruptcy and servitude and he denounced
the course pursued in severe terms. He
held the railroads especially responsible
for this condition of affairs. Going
back to 1872 he referred at length to a
contract made by the trunk lines of
Pennsylvania with the South Improve
ment company. Under this contract,
he said, the freight rates on oil were
doubled and half the amount collected
was paid back as a rebate-not only
this. but the contract company received
a like rebate on the ships of all other
companies. This contract, he declared,
had been secretly continued by the rail
roads with the Standard Oil company.
He quoted A. j. Cassatt, the new presi.
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad, as
testifying before the interstate railroad
commission to the effect that while the
open rate to the public was $1.95 per
barrel, the rate to the Standard COM
pany was ~ cents. Further investiga-
ton, said Mr.. Lockwood, had developed
the fact that the railroad companies ac-
tually received only IS cents. This
condition of affairs had resulted for a
time, according to the witness, in Civ
ing the Standard company a profit of
400 per cent, while the independent re-
fneries were being rapidly driven into
bankruptcy.
IF you have got to be robbed" he
exclaimed, sit does not matter much
whether you are held up by Dick Tur-
pin with a pistol. or by John Rookie
Teller with a railroad; it is really all the
same"
He said that men who had carefully
analysed the testimony taken before
the Hepburn committee estimated that
in 1856 months time the five trunk lines
lines of Pennsylvania a had paid the
Standard company 81 1000. 900 in re-
bates. The railroad companies had, he
said, completely ignored the order of
the interstate commerce commission to
stop their discrimination in favor of
the Standard Oil company, resorting
then to the system of false billing.
Public Ownership the Remedy.
Speaking Of the remedy for the evil,
Mr.. Lockwood said it was in public
ownership of the railroads, and it was
not to be found in the courts, the courts
were too slow and expensive.
"The railroads and the oil company
can razoo a mar up and down in the
courts for IL years." he said, 'until he
is ruined financially and then go
on with their work, leaving
their victim stranded. AS a reward
the combines elevate their instruments
to higher places politically. Thus it
was that the thought of the common
people was gradually becoming fixed to
the effect that the great railway COM
bines were gradually packing the SUI
preme court with men IN sympathy
with their monopolistic tendency, and
who would do their bidding. Thus the
Interstate commerce law was rendered
Ineffective.

TOOK FORTY THOUSAND.
Robbers Blow the Safe of a Philadel.
phia Street Car Company.

H0DDerS Blow the sale OF q Ihtlo0el.
phia Street Car Company.
PHILADELPHIA, June 2O.-A gang OF
masked robbers, probably ten in mum.
Der, early in the morning raided the re.
ceiving Office of the Paramount Park
Transportation company, ut Belmont,
in Paramount Park, and, after holding.
up the receiver and five other employees
of the railway, blew open the safe and
secured $4,000 the c%ompany's receipts
for two days. Frank Leaven, receiver;
Frank Watson and Henry B. White
house, conductors; James Cavanaugh,
fireman of the power house; Philip
Eaves, electrician, and William Cad
mus, laborer. were bound hand and
foot with wire. In addition to the men
who actually committed the robbery,
others operated miles away from the
scene, by destroying the telegraph and
telephone wires connecting with the
trolley company's main Office.
The men above named were all in the
office when the burglars made their APP.
pearance. Each intruder was armed
with two r~evolvers and they took the
employees completely by surprise. 1t
was the work of a few moments for the
robbers to pinion the workmen, who
were rolled over to one side Of the room
with their faces to the wall. Ten min
utes later the safe had been cracked and
the gang disappeared.
The entire city detective force is on
the case, but the cracksmen left no clue.
Tho Receivers Story.
Frank Levan, the night receiver, one
of the men gagged and bound by the
robbers, told this story of his expe-
rience:
While I was standing at the south
ern door of the Office next the stalled
cars, I heard footsteps in the rear.
Turning. I saw two men with masks on
their faces. They had two big revolt
vers and took me into the conductors
and tied my hands and feet with
wire and laid me or the floor with my
face to the wall. I saw Whitehouse
was also being bound and gagged.
"When we were laid on the floor q
man was detailed to guard each of US.
LII u lew minutes Ill came duOLuer VIC.
tim, whom I think was Watson, a con-
ductor, and he went through the same
thing. Then two more came in and
were bound. The burglars worked
quietly. 1t only took them 10 minutes
to blow the safe.
"The guards frequently threataned to
shoot us if we made the least outcry or
motion. I think they must have had a
wagon to take away the cash, because
it was very heavy and not easy to get
away with.
"Shortly after the money was taken
our guards left. Philip caves, the cleo
t%rician, got himself loose and then
loosed us. I tried to reach city hall
by wire, but the wires of both tele-
phones had been cut and I had to run
in the pitch dark across country to the
Belmont pumping station, where I gave
the alarm and they telephoned in from
there shortly before 3 o'clock to the city
hall and informed the detectives"

A New City Will Soon Spring
Up From the Ruins of

Daring Attempt to Rob the Vault
of Manufacturers Bank
Frustrated.

New RICHMOND, Wis, June 19.-It is
possible to give with fair accuracy
q summary of the death and destruc-
ton to property by the cyclone.
The official list of known dead con-
tains 102 names; S unidentified bodies
have been buried, besides some parts of
bodies. A conservative estimate of the
bodies still in the ruins Of people not
reported missing would be Is. This
brings the loss of life to about 1925.
The best estimate on the loss of prop
erty in the city of New Richmond, COM
piled from a list of individual property
owners who lost everything G, reaches a
total of $3.50, 900. To this may be added
about 5000. 900 for household goods, and
other property destroyed in the imme-
date vicinity not included in the build
ings totally demolished.
Attempt to Rob a Bank Vault.
A bold attempt to rob the vault of
the Manufacturers bank was made dur
ing the night. Will Thompson, the tel
Ter of the bank, gives the blowing &C.
count of the affair:
Shortly after midnight the young
man whom he had hired to watch the
vault during the night heard a man
slide down beside the vault. He waited
a minute and saw him set down a small
satchel, from which he began to take
his burglars tools. He turned a dark
lantern on the door Of the vault and
began his devilish work at once. The
watchboy, instead of running to call
the guard, commanded the man
to halt and started fer him with
only a club in his hand. He just sue
ceeded in reaching the robber and deal
ing him one blow over the head when
the fellow picked up his kit of looks and
took to his heels. The boy followed him,
but did not succeed in o%vertaking him
before he got outside the lines"
A complete description of the burglar
has been given the police here, and two
Twin City detectives are working on
the case.
