IOWA INSURANCE AND IOWA
BANKS

Fort Dodge Messenger: The Insur-
ance Press has completed some
figures on life insurance which con-
tain. some curious facts with refer
ence to life insurance in Iowa.
1t is found on examination of the
lists, that no other state with so
much population and wealth as Iowa
drew so little money from the insur-
ance companies last year. The total
paid to Iowa is reported at 81, 1893, ,4t2.
Colorado received almost as much,
with about a fourth as much popu-
lation. California, with less popula-
tion, received nearly three times as
much as Iowa, Minnesota, two-thirds
the size of Iowa, received consider
able more money; Tennessee and
Kentucky, though southern states,
led Iowa considerably. The northern
states as a rule led those of the
south in proportion to population; /;
but Iowa is q decided exception.

Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston
who for the past couple of years has
been in the Uganda country in
Africa, brings home to London
stories from that country that out
rival Henry M. Stanley's "In Darkest
Africa" Sir Harry relates that the
country surrounding Moantelgon is
totally depopulated as result of in
tertribal wars, and is consequently
marvelously stocked with big game
that are as tame as English park
deer. Zebras and antelope can be
approached to within ten yards, and
there is no sport in killing them. Ele-
plants and rhinoceroses are also
abundant and, according to Sir
Harry, lions in Uganda are too busy
eating hartbeest to notice passing
caravan. The prehistoric giraffe has
been discovered in this country. He
photographed a race of ape-men in
the Congo forest differing entirely
from Stanley's pigmies, and secured
phonograp records Of their
language.

DON'T WANT "KICKERS."

The town kicker these days is hav-
ing a sorry time of it. Nobody wants
him. He ought to ''get together
and institute Bellamy colony. The
Prairie City News wants him to leave
there and thus politely invites him
out of town.
"Don't be a drag on the COM
munity. Either stand up Tor your
town or go somewhere that suits
you better. If the glorious Iowa
weather don't suit you, go where it
is hotter. 1t the soil don t suit you,
don't vegetate in it If the whole
community is going to the damnation
bow-wows iD a handcart you had
better get out before the hnchpin
breaks and turns you. II it is dy-
spepsia or liver complaint that
makes a pessimist of you, go to the
doctor and tell him to charge the
bill to public welfare. We are in
the march of progress. Our town
and county are going forward and
we have neither time to 60 around
clods or kick them out of the way,
so, if you wake up some morning
and see that the procession has
passed you will know that you have
been run over" .r...
Kellogg has no use for him either
and the Enterprise thus reprimands
him:
Don't kick! If someb ody is
prospering or getting along little
better than you, let him prosper.
Don't grunt and grumble; don't
kick. Say good word for him, look
pleased and let it go at that. If you
see your town is getting along
nicely, feel good about it. Help
things along. Shove little, and
try to get some of the benefit your
self. Don't stand around like a
bump on log and waste your time
feeling sore because some other
person has had the sand to forge
ahead and prosper. Do a little
hustling yourself, but don't kick.
If you are sore, and disposed to
say something mean, keep your
mouth shut. Don't kick. No man
ever raised himself up perman-
emily by kicking some one else
down. We are helped when we help
our brother. Be ready to give a
kind word give it literally; it won't
cost you cent, and you may want
one yourself some day. If you want
to throw something at somebody,
let it be roses, bouquets or cologne.
Don't throw mud, don't kick. How
ever, if you must kick, lead your
self around behind the smoke
house and take a good kick at
yourself"

Joe Roberts owned the bgildinga

The loss of the True building was
the worst property loss, 1t was q

of this building and the damage to
adjoining building il estimated at
$4,000 90,
The origin of the fire is not known.
The flames we're under considerable
headway when discovered In the
rear of the Seifert restaurant. The
fire may have caught from de.
fective chimney or from the stove.
Intense excitement was caused by
the rapid spread of the fire. 1t
seemed at one time that the business
part of the town would be consumed
and the hurry to remove property to
places of safety amounted to little
less than panic. Residents were
leaving their homes and the greatest
confusion prevailed upon all sides.
The citizens who were engaged in
lighting the fire were for the greater
part those whose homes were remov-
ed from the line of impending de-
struction, The hospitality and gem
erosity of the townspeople has been
shown in offering assistance and
shelter to the unfortunate. The fire
will result in a great demand for all
unoccupied business rooms in the
town. The adjustment of the busi-
ness affairs of the fire sufferers will
not require a great length of time
and it is thought that by the end of
the month all will be located and
ready for business again.

The Atlanta Constitution is de-
voting a column to the use of people
who wish to settle the hell question.
Some interesting opinions have been
recorded, the general tendency
among the Georgians being to stick
to shell" instead of "hades." One
pious brother says:
"It doesn't matter what they preach,
OF high or low degree,
The old hell of the bible
Is hell enough for mel
I don't know its location
Can't say just where twill be,
But the old hell of the bible
Is hell enough for mel
Twas preached by Paul and Peter
They spread it wide and free:
'Twa hell of old John Bunyan,
And it's hell enough for me-"

EDDYVILLE FIRE.
Conflagration Wipes Out POI tion
of Business Part of Town.
Special to HERALD.

special TO HERALD.
Eddyville, June 19.--Eddyville was
visited this morning by the most de-
structive fire in the history of the
town and more than a half block of
buildings in the business part of the
city now lies in ashes. Eleven busi-
ness places and buildings, the M. E.
church and one residence were licked
up by the flames and it is considered
miraculous that there was not even
greater loss sustained. The fire
crossed the street number of times
and the buildings were burning quite
| nercely. 1t was 6mayN by the most
persistent effort on the part Of the
army of workers that the flames
were prevented from gaining foot
hold and sweeping this side of the
sire st also.
There was no fire protection aside
from that gained through the work
of "bucket brigades." The fire liter
ally burned itself out.
The fire was discovered about II 80
O'Clock in the rear of the Seifert res
taurant to ward the east end of the
business street. An alarm was quick
ly sou nded but the flames had made
too much headway to be controlled
and soon spread to adjoining build
ings on both sides of the burning
restaurant.
The flames burned with great
fierceness and in a very short time
the whole half block was involved.
The flames crossed the alley and for
some time it looked as though the
progress of the fire fiend could not
be stayed. The entire town was soon
aroused and at the scene of the fire.
Men, women and children engaged in
the labor of saving property from
burning buildings and in carrying
water in buckets and fighting the fire
as best they could. By four O'Clock
the fire had burned itself out. In
round numbers the loss will be be-
tween twenty five and thirty thousand
dollars. Against this great loss there
stands an insurance of only ten or
twelve thousand dollars.
The fire was in the "old business
part" of town. The buildings de-
stroyed were mostly frame structures
and stood within the fire limit now
existing. The reconstruction which
will follow within few months will
be upon a more substantial basis as
none but brick or stone buildings will
be permitted by the council. The
loss is a severe one in many cases
and property has been destroyed
which money cannot replace. There
is talk today of plans for the imme-
diate rebuilding of parts of the burn
ed district and Eddyville will be
found equal to the emergency now
presented.
A list of the losses and the insur-
ance 80 far as is obtainable at this
time is as follows:
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1901-06-20

New York, with three times Iowa's
population, drew twenty times as
much from the insurance companies
What is the significance of this Iowa
has more banks than any other state.
Instead ofinvesting in insurance pol
icies, Iowa people have been putting
their money into little country banks
or the big city institutions. No other
state has made so magnificent show
ing of the increase of bank deposits
as Iowa in the past few years. Now
adays Iowa's money goes to Chi
cago, and Chicago sends it to New
York for use in dull seasons. 1t used
to be the other way not long ago.
Another interesting fact disclosed
by the insurance report is that city
people buy most of the insurance.
The reason for this is plain also.
Country people are the most inde-
pendent on earth, especially the
farmers. They see their wealth in
creasing around them in various
ways, and they have 5not the same
incentives to spend as the city people,
who are largely of the salary draw
ing class, and are always trying to
keep up with the times, which means
to ''live up" their income. Life in
surance is the city mans method of
guaranteeing his future and that of
his family. The dwellers on Iowa
farms do not need guaranteeIof this
kind. Every spring and fall every in
crease in. the valuei of the farm, is
guarantee for the future of himself
and his family.

Don't tinker with the tariff. Let
we'll enough alone. II you will stop
a moment and think of the results of
the tinkering done in 1898 and COM
pare them with the results since 1895
when we quit tinkering you will sure
ly find no reason for any more tink-
ering. Some treaties along the line
of reciprocity of mutual interest be.
tween our country and foreign lands
might be made with profit, but no
"tariff reform"

Friday Wisconsin clam fisher put
his hook down into the muddy waters
of the Mississippi near Lansing, Iowa,
and foated in his boat with the cur
rent until he reached Prairie DuChien.
Somewhere between those two points
he caught on his hook a clam, in
whose shell was hidden the largest
and most perfect pearl ever found in
America. The gem is worth $50 900.

1t is safe to estimate that from
s1OO, 900 to $3.50, 900 in trade will go
out of the mining town of Buxton
every year for the next fifty years.
Cheap and quick transportation will
bring every cent of this to its natural
destination, ,-Oskaloosa. These fig
