Night and Discuss Probabilities
of Building New Short Line.

eral freight agent of the G. M. & St.

night in the private car of the former.
They spent the night and this morn
ing in the city, going south on the pas

Mr.. Gall, when interviewed by a
Courier representative this morning,
|sald there was no special significance
to this visit, as he was Just making a
tour of the road, and was accompanied
by Mr.. Jones over this division. When
asked about the rumor that the Mil
waukee road was to build a short
line from Davenport to this city in the
spring, Mr. Gall claimed he knew
nothing at all of the matter. He ad-
mitted, however, he had heard the
matter talked of in official circles, but
claimed that he did not know its pres.
ent status. He said the advantage of
such line was manifest to all, and
in his opinion. it would be a paying
investment. He declined to talk fur.
ther on the subject, and turned to 9th
Ter matters. The gentlemen were ac.
lcompanied from this city by a. ]. Pack:
ard. freight agent, of that road, who
will return this evening on the passen
lger from Kansas City.

THEY ARE BADLY SCARED.
Iowa Insurance Men See Cause for
Alarm in Statement of Losses.

Alarm in Statement of Losses.
Des Moines, Jan. 2.-Iowa insur
ance men are badly frightened. They
claim to see, in the figures which tell
what has been received and paid out
by insurance companies from this
state, cause for alarm. While no ab-
solutely accurate figures can be OBJ
tanned it is generally estimated that
while premiums thruout the state in
creased about per cent over 1899,
losses increased about 10 per
cent. The premiums for 1899
are estimated at $4,219,255, and
the losses at S1,966,991, mals-
ing a loss ration of AZ per cent. In
1900 the premiums are estimated at
$4,490, 500, and the losses at 81, ,253, $50
raising the loss ratio to so per cent.
The closer students of the situation,
however, say Iowa is still profitable
territory, tho the expense of doing
business i'll Iowa. is high. To the in.
suranee man the legislative prospect
for 1901 is bad. Fears for the enact
loom up big before the insurance
world. A bill providing for the enact.
ment of such measure will undoubr-
edly be presented at the next session
of the general assembly and it is
thought it will be signed if it is again
passed. Turnout the state competi-
tion has been strong during the past
year, and at many points agents have
cut below the board rates and the
companies have taken the risks.
