AN IMPORTANT RULING.
POLK county Judge Decides 1nteres

Polk County Judge Decides Interests
ing Insurance Case.
Des Moines, Nov. 30.-Judge Holmes.
of the district court, made an impor-
tant ruling governing the filing Of re-
ports by insurance companies in the
district court on Wednesday. The rul-
ing was made in the case Of Warfield
against Clark. 1t is in substance that
companies, in filing their reports with
the state auditor, must give the
amount of losses claimed, instead of
the amount estimated. This will make
the showing of many companies ma
.erially different, and is of considerable
Importance, if the ruling is sustained
by the higher courts. AS the custom
now prevails practically all companies
are said to file as their total unpaid
losses what the officers of the company
expect to pay in settling the losses 1t
is usually the case that the loss claimed
and the loss paid by the company vary.
The total losses claimed, in other
words, are much larger than those
paid. SO the companies have formed
the custom of estimating their losses
unpaid in filing their reports. Judge
holmeS SalO III his ruliH6 lHdl lHiS 10
Illegal. What the law contemplates is
that they shall give the total losses
claimed, and the auditor of state is the
man to make an estimate, il any is
made Otherwise, the auditor has no
means of knowing the actual liability
of the company Any company could
decrease it's liabilities a few thousand
dollars by judiciously estimating their
unpaid losses at low figure. In the
case pending it was claimed by the de-
Tense that the losses of the company
as given in the annual report We're
merely estimated, while the plaintiff
claims that fraud was practiced in in
tentionally concealing the real amount
| of unpaid losses.

Medical students at Iowa City Pett.
ton the State Legislature.
Iowa City, Nov. 30.-The students of
the medical department of the univer-
sity have prepared petition which
will be presented to the state legisla-
ture at their next session which asks
that the examination before the state
board of health be abolished which in
compliance with a law passed last ses-
sion the graduates ofthe university of
Iowa are obliged to pass before they
can practice medicine in the state.
The petition points out that the uni
yersity is state school and that the
examinations passed there are practi-
cally state examinations and declares
that the professors of the department
are better qualified to pass upon the
qualifications of applicants with whom
they have had four years experience
than is board composed of persons
who have had no experience with the
work OF candidates whom they exam
inc. The medical department of the
university is recognized as one of the
most thorough schools in the country
and it's course of study is second to
none in the United States.
The petitioners maintain that their
diploma confers upon them the degree
OF doctor Of medicine with all Its rights
and privileges and Is signed by. the
governor Of state and other state Off
Gals and is in itself contract with the
state OF Iowa and that these rights and
privileges should be granted the grad.

Iowa City saloons.

Iowa City, Nov. 30.-The saloonkeep-
ers of our city have organized an asso-
citation and say they have decided to
work for the enforcement of the
strongest provisions in the mulct law,
and the association, through it's secre-
tary, has addressed communication
to the mayor. setting forth the above
facts. In an interview Mayor Stebbins
said:
II know nothing of the association
except what the communication shows.
So far as this observance of the mulct
law is concerned, have had many sa-
loonkeepers before me for violation of
the city ordinance on the mulct law.
If the saloonkeepers themselves wish
to aid in the enforcement of the laws,
so much the better. AS for me, just 50
long as any one is found guilty of
breaking the law, shall fine the guilty
ones
While general regret is expressed
that we have saloons, our city is deter
mined that the provisions of the mulct
law shall be observed and the saloon
element is controlled very much better
in our city than in many other cities OF
Iowa, and better than formerly.

The students call attention to the fact
that adjacent states recognize the d.
ploma granted by the Iowa school and
allow its graduates to practice therein
without an examination and states
THAT Is other states recognize our d.
ploma as in face of the fact that the
state Of Iowa does not recognize its

ploma of its own school is recognized
first above all others and it's school is
fostered and protected. The petition
further states that the petitioners be-
lieve that our own university should
be fostered and protected in every pos
sible way, and medical students OF
Iowa given some inducement to attend
our own university instead of legislat-
ing them out of the state entirely.
The petitioners claim that they pay
their tuition here and pass an exami-
nation before visiting alumni board
and should not be forced to go tsNS-s=
Moines at extra expense and take the
examination before the board Of health
there before they are allowed to prac-
tice medicine in Iowa.

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
OF Phv.icaI Manhood.

No form of athletic exercise demands
such perfect physical condition as
prize fighting. Every muscle in the
body must be fully developed and sup
pie. and the heart, lungs and stomach
must act to perfection.
Whether we endorse prize fighting or
not, 1t is nevertheless interesting to
know the manner by which men arrive
at such physical perfection.
James Jeftries, the present champion
heavy weight of the world. and his gall
liant opponent, Tom Sharkey, in the
greatest pugilistic encounter that has
ever taken place. both pursued much
the same course OF training and the
first and most important part OF this
training was to get the stomach In
condition. and to keep the digestion abb
solutely perfect, so that every muscle
and nerve would be at its highest capa-
bilities
This was not done by secret patent
medicine, but both Of these great pu-
gilists used a well-known natural d.
gestive tablet sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and composed Of the digestive ferments
which every stomach requires Tor
healthy digestion.
Champion Jeffries says: "Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acidity,
strengthen the stomach and insure per-
feet digestion. They keep man in fine
physical condition." Signed, James j.
Jeffries, champion OF the world.
The gallant fighter. Sharkey, says:
"stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating. They rest the
stomach and restore 1t to healtnlul
condition heartily recommend them.
Signed, Thomas ]. Sharkey.
The advantage Of the daily use OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is that tney
keep people we'll and ward off sickness
and are equally valuable to well per-
sons as to the dyspeptics. Another ad-
vantage is that these tablets contain nc
cathartics, or poisons of any character
but simply digestive ferments wnicf
are found in every healthy stomach
and when digestion is imperfect 1t IL
because the stomach lacks some o.
these elements and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets supply it,
They are no cheap cathartic, but
nerfectly safe and efficient digestive
and the demand for them is greatel
than the sale Of, all other so-cailet
dyspepsia cures combined. No remed!
could possibly reach such place II
public esteem except as the result o
positive merit.
Full-sized packages are sold by al
druggists at SO cents and the hes
habit you can possibly form is to take I

TROUBLE WITH STONE CUTTERS.
Work Again stopped on the New
University Building.

Iowa City, Nov. 3O.-Work has again
stopped on the unvirsity building
at Iowa City and the word has been
given out that the workmen have taken
vacation in order to eat turkey at
home.
The real facts in the case are differ
ent, however. Work started as usual
at o'clock yesterday morning and
nothing was said about holiday. AT 10
O'clock the telegraph messenger boy
handed Arthur Watson, the foreman
of the Peoria Steam Marble Works
force, engaged in cutting stone mes
sage and in ten minutes thereafter
work ceased.
That telegram told the story of
long-drawn-ou contention between the
contractors, Warren Roberts & Co. of
Chicago and the sub-contractors, the
Peoria Steam Marble Works. who have
the stone-cutting work in charge. 1t
was an order to the effect that all
stone be delivered to the cutters who
are rapidly completing the work of the
building. This action was taken on the
part of the sub-contractors to force the
general contractors to give them se-
Il CuTlly QIuAC lIley SIlOulu ieSSiNC
money when the work was completed.
| At the last meeting of the board of
regents the Peoria Steam Marble
| Works representatives appeared be-
| fore the board and asked them to honor
an order for the amount of their con-
tract from the general contractors.
This the board of regents refused to do,
holding that the action would estab-
/ lish precedent and all furnshers OF
material would ask for the same secur-
i ity. Then the stone cutters asked the
general contractors for a bond as Sc
1 curty and were refused.
/ The action of yesterday was taken to
force the delivery of such bond and
the stone cutters refuse TO furnish any
more material until they are secured
1 They claim they wish secured amounts
to about $4,000, being the Is per cent
reserve held back on their work by the
general contractors until the building
is completed and accepted.
On the ground is. enough stone al
ready cut to furnish the settlers work
for at least a week and the delay JUS
at this time will cause lots of incon
Iyenience. During the past month the
contractors have been pushing tht
work fast in order to have the building
enclosed before the winter comes witt

Holstein, Ia, Nov. Goat the adj
journed coroner's inqnest, held today
on the remains of Albert Veazie, the
following additional evidence was
given: John Mclaughlin said he had
been hunting on the exact ground on
which the remains were found on Oct.
10Th, that he had followed the dry
stream or ravine clear down to its
junction with the Maple, and he is
firm in his conviction there were no
remains there at that time. He fur
Their stated that six weeks ago the
stream where the remains were found
was flooded from rains and out of its
banks. AS this dry stream or ravine
is fully three feet deep and the re-
mains We're lying in the bottom when
found, it would seem probable the
heavy rain six weeks ago would have
carried the clothing, il not the body,
il there at the time, away. He further
said that about four days before the
remains were found he saw a team
with some men drive on run to the
spot where the body was found and
after a few minutes drive away on a
run. He further said that the date
the man who was first reported as
wandering about there was Aug
3. Evidence has been secured from
| Chicago that the said Albert Veazie
was in Chicago on Aug. 5 and
pawned ring there. Hence the mar
seen wandering around could not have
been this one found. Word was re-
ceived today by wire from Mrs. G. H
Veazie. Brockport, N. Y, sister-in.
law, to hold the body until her husband
comes home on the Both.
So far the case gets darker instead o
clearer. The Chicago address of tn,
deceased was 101 Canal street, as givel
at the pawn shop and other places
The inquest has been again adjourned
till Friday, Dec. 1. The remains are We
held here without interment.

There is considerable talk about the
extent of the senate reorganization

1t is generally conceded that Gen.

in the office of sergeant alarms is one
that is very difficult to determine. COL

ing that the senate would lose more
than partisan appointment could pos
sibly gain by a change. The senate
depends upon the sergeant-at-arms for
great deal of work that requires
