The Easter lily proper, like so many

Strange Claim He Makes.

Thomas j. Dalbey has caused a
great stir in. Sioux City by claims
made in evident sincerity that he has
been to Heaven and was permitted
by God to return to earth to save
sinners.
Dalbey has secured a large number
of followers. He preached in a Meth

dozens of incredulous persons pres
ent expressed conviction that his
claims were sincere. Dalbey is being
almost worshiped now as having SUI
perhuman knowledge. He also spoke
in the Central Baptist church to a
large audience. Through the remark

MUST USE LARGE TYPE.
tual Insurance Companies Must
Not COncenI Character.

Attorney General Mullan has trans
rnitted an opinion to Auditor of State
Merriam, in which he holds that mu-
tual insurance companies organized
under chapter 4 of the code must
make no concealment Of the charac-
ter of their concerns, in their poll
cies and renewal receipts. 1t is held
that these companies must print i'll
large type on the first page of their
policies in connection with their
names the word ''mutual.' Auditor
of State Merriam asked for an opin-
ion as to whether the companies
could be prevented from coneealing
their mutual character in their adj
vertising literature. This question
the attorney general does not go
into, limiting himself to construc-
ton of the statute as it stands.
