DIES MONIES, June 16.-Yhe Iowa
Loan and Trust Company has become
trustee for the Gulf IL Manitoba rail
road, which is a Minnesota corpora
ton organized for the purpose of
building railroad from Duluth to the
south, and has been granted trust
deed for S2l, 900, 900 to cover an issue
of bonds which will be ISIS ued for the
purpose of building the road. The
Gulf & Manitoba road was incorpor-

includes among its incorporators Frank
Campbell, Samuel Compton and other
Des Moines men. Little was done
with the road in the past, but it is
said now that it will be pushed. A
corps of engineers is said to be in the
field in various parts of Iowa and Min
nesota, surveying the most suitable
route for the road from Duluth to
Kansas City, which are the proposed
terminals of the road. Under the
trust deed some bonds have already
been issued and disposed of for the
purpose of commencing operations on
the road and bearing the first expense.
The trust company will handle the
bonds and will find market for the m
if the road assumes the appearance of
reality in the future.

curities Shall Not BE Fictitious.
Dies MONIES, June 15.-Attorney
General Remley, in an opinion trans
mitted to the auditor of state, holds
that insurance companies must main
tain the legal reserve with the auditor
in the form of fully valid securities.
They cannot lawfully withdraw secur-
tiles on reinsurance and they cannot
maintain securities at the auditors
Office which have been partially or in
whole liquidated. 1t has been the
custom of some companies, it is said,
to receive payments on notes and
mortgages in the possession of the
auditor, maintaining the full face of
the paper in claiming securities on de-
post. The attorney general SAYS that
it is an illegal way to do the business
and that the persons paying on notes
not IN the possession of the company
lay themselves liable to collection a
second time by the state for the pro-
lection of policy holders, If that course
becomes necessary. The opinion is of
vast importance to every insurance
company of this character.

In a little western town, originally
settled by Quakers, stands church in
which the practice of seating men and
women apart still prevails. A few
wears ago, a newcomer mustered cou-
rage to cross the aisle and sit beside
his bride. The second Sunday another
man committed the same offence, and
the third Sunday saw generous
sprinkling of barred heads alongside
spring bonnets. The aged minister,
with outraged sense of propriety,
chose for his text: Let destruction
come upon him at unawares; and let
his net that he hath hid catch him
self" and minced no words in exposi-
ton. The men who had dared to stray
from established custom rebelled at
being eternally doomed for sitting be-
side their wives, lad left the church in
a body. The result is that today in
that little town stands two church
buildings, side by side, counterparts in
size and paint and outlook; but in one
the sexes are divided by middle
isle. while in the other ''promiscuous
sitting" prevails. The trivialities
which hinder Christian comfy may
travel far for an apter illustration.
