Unexpected.

One of the district school trustees
was crank on the subject of fire, and
when hecalled around with the ex-
amining board he always confined his
remarks to question addressed to the
pupils as to what they would do in
case the building should catch fire.
The teacher was acquainted with
his hobby, so she prompted her schol-
ars as to the answers they should give
when he rose to pronounce his accus-
toned inquiry. When the board call
ed, however, this particular trustee,
perhaps from desire to emulate his
associates in their addresses, rose and
said:
"You boys and girls have paid such
attention to Mr.. Jones remarks: |
wonder what you would do, now, if I
we're to make you little speech?
Quick as thought a hundred voices
piped in unison:

REUNION GOES ON.
Although Col. Roosevelt Has
Left Las Vegas For
Home.

Las Vegas, N. M, June 26.-Although
Colonel Roosevelt departed on his east
ward journey at 1 o'clock this morning,
the enthusiasm of his Rough Riders
who are holding their first annual re-
union here continued unabated today.
The Rough Riders and citizens pa
rade took place at 10 o'clock, under the
command of H. NJ. Altberger. 1t was
upwards of a mile in length with
band of music heading each of the four
divisions. The first division consisted Of
the Rough Riders, guests of the regi-
nent and the citizens committee hav-
ing the reunion arrangements in charge.
The Albuquerque band headed this
division. DR.. F. E. Olney, a cousin or
ex-Secretary Richard Olney, was the
marshal of this division. The Rough
Riders, numbering over 100. were COM
manded by Colonel Brodie and lined up
regardless of the various troops to
which they belonged. Colonel Brodie's
staff consisted of Major McClintock, of
troop B; Lieut.. Wedame, of troop F,

FIRE INSURANCE.
Are the Actual Rates Lower or
HigherP

Do you pay more, or pay less? That's
the question. There is great deal of
mystery about insurance rates. While
certain interested parties claim rates
are lower, others say they have been
advanced The courts knock out one
rate bureau and depose one cZar. A new
one ascends the throne. The Eldrldge
bureau, as noted in these columns here
tOfore, appears to be the ClarkSon
scheme under a different name Many
of the agencies resent this rate making
and wish to establish the fees them
selves. In a paper on this subject read
before insurance men last week Frank
S. Thomas, of Topeka, one of the best
informed Insurance. men in the west,
makes these statements on the situa-
ton:
1.-The insurance tariff was the subject
of inquiry at once and we find that 1t
is promulgated by one Mr.. Eldrldge, a
former emplOye of Mr.. ClarksOn, against
whom 1 believe the courts granted an
injunction restraining him from carry
ing on the same business that his former
employe has now inaugurated. They
occupy the same office and while they
no doubt deny any business relations
existing between them, nevertheless, it
is a fact well known that he has so
licited all of the fire insurance COM
panieS the greater portion of them to
subscribe to his rates the same as Mr..
ClarkSOn did. 1t seems that when the
present insurance superintendent came
into office that Eldridge thought that
he could inaugurate the same system
of rate making by an outsider having
no interest or sympathies in common
with the inSuring public of Kansas, and
that the same scheme that had been en-
Joined by the courts of the land could
not be carried on with impunity.
THE self-appointed committee COM
posed of the special agents of the Amer
lean Central of St. Louis, the Liverpool
and London and Globe and the Phenix
of Brooklyn, proceeded in cOnjunc ctiOn
with the present insurance superintend-
ent of the state of Kansas, to fix rates
on dwellings, churches and school houses
in this state, their act being absolutely
in defiance and in violation of the law
of this state. This tariff was so thor
oughly impractical and unsa atisfactory
of the city of Topeka called upon this
committee and were informed that they
had agreed with the insurance commits
SiOner, Mr.. Church, on these rates and
on the rules published Herewith and
that he would not consent to make any
change or otherwise alter the rates and
rules that they had fixed governing the
cost of insurance in the state of Kan
Sas.
1t would seem a most unusual pro-
ceeding for man who is put into office
for the purpose of enforcing a law gov
erning insurance to engage in actual
violation thereof and that too, in con-
junction with a committee who stated
that he not only acted in conjunction
certain rates being fixed governing the
cost of insurance.
1T is a fact that rates on two classes
of property have been raised by the
schedule of rates fixed by the superin-
tendent of insurance in conjunction
with the special agents aforesaid, and
yet 1 doubt if the superintendent knows

HITS PARSONS HARD.
New Asylum Law Contains ,
Serious Blunder.

The law providing for the location of
the new insane asylum at Parsons is
so framed that the state is prohibited
from buying the land for which the leg
islative committee has already con-
tracted to pay $28 900.
The law appropriates 100000 for the
erection of buildings but contains not
a single syllable of provision authoriz-
ing the purchase of the land.
This error is held to invalidate the
work of the committee and to defeat
the action of the committee in locating
the asylum at Parsons.
Without the land the buildings can
not be erected. There is no way in
which the money can be legally ex-
pended for the land and this condition
ties the proposition up completely. The
discovery of this fact was made sew
eral days ago but the state officers
have been keeping it quiet. This, it
seems, will effectually keep Parsons
out of the asylum, unless the city
should donate the land. This it seems
would be improbable.
The city might give some land but a
section of $40 acres at SIS, 900 would be-
it is thought, too large a donation.
This condition will not deter the Clay
Center people from bringing suit to en-
join the expenditure of the money.
With these two elements of opposition
one practically prohibitive-the omis-
sion of the law-Parsons will probably
lose the institution

SURE THIS TIME.
Case of BubOnic Plague Reaches
Honolulu.
Strictest Quarantine Regula-
tions Are Enforced.

Chicago. June Pa special to the
Chronicle from Honolulu via San Fran
cisco says: THE bubonic plague has
come half way across the Pacific ocean.
The Nippon Maru arriving here early
yesterday morning was put in quaran-
tine by the board of health on the re-
port Of bacteriologists that a death oc-
curing three days before the vessel ar

ScOurg9.
The Nippon Maru had a death aboard
among the Chinese passengers from
Hong Kong shortly before reaching Ma
gasakI, May 26. The Japanese health
authorities after an investigation de-
cided that the suspicion of it's being the
putting the vessel in quarantine and
cremating the body. The vessel was in
quarantine until June 8. 1t then pro-
ceeded to Yokohama, leaving there for
this port June 8.
Three days before arriving here there
was another death among the Chinese.
The ships surgeon, Dr. Deas, diagnosed
the cause of death as uraemic convul-
SiOnS, but considered the symptoms as
suspicious enough to warrant flying the
yellow flag when the steamer neared
this port and of preserving the body for
