PROTECTED BY INSURANCE.
Carry Fortunes in Poll
cies on Their Lives.

The late Duke of Edinburgh's life was
insured for 100000, and that huge sum
will have TO come out of the Golfers of
the insurance societies. Scarcely single
English insurance company was without
some interest in Prince Alfred's life, but
the critical state of His Royal Highness'
health during the past four years had
given the companies ample warning that
the day of reckoning was approaching.
They will not. in consequence, be heavily
hit bv the Dukes sudden death. even
though the sum is one of considerable
magnitude for most OF the firms had s.
cured themselves with guarantee societies.

King Humbert of Italy was no exception
to this rule among the royal houses, and

TARIFF ON GRAIN LOWERED.
Rate From Kansas City to Chicago
Reduced to Ten Cents.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.--The tariff on grain
from Kansas City TO Chicago has been
lowered to 10 cents. and the existing
tariff of cents from Kansas City to the
Mississippi River has been reaffirmed.
At meeting of the Chicago Kansas City
lines held here last night it was decided
that it was impossible to maintain the
rate at u cents, as two lines had given
a Decent rate for some time. The meet
ing was the result of charges that grain
was being removed from Kansas City
to Chicago for 1-2 cents.
