A NEW INSURANCE LAW
Prepared for Submission to the
Legislature ut it's Present Session.

Prepared for Submission to the
LeEislature ut Its Present Session.
Gentlemen interested in local insur-
ance companies and resident agents of
foreign companies have prepared a new
insurance law which will be submitted
&c the present Legislature at Charles
ton with feeling of confidence that
It's conditions and purposes will COM
mend themselves to the law-making
body, and that it will become statute
The purpose of the bill is to restrict
the insurance business within the State
to resident agents who pay the State
tax.
AS the law is at present home in
surance companies, and resident agents
of foreign companies are compelled to
pay to the State two per cent of the
gross amount of business transacted,
while there is no restriction upon out
side agents or representatives, who
may come into West Virginia, solicit
and obtain any amount of business, and
pay nothing for the privilege. The re-
suit is that such representatives of for
eign companies are not subject to our
general insurance regulations, pay
nothing to the State, and yet transact
business upon an equal footing with
home companies or resident agents.
The proposed bill is intended to cor
rect this matter, and to restrict the in
surance business within the State to
home companies or resident agents
who comply with the law and who pay
their lawful tax into the State treasury.
The result will no IN other shut ont
nonresident agents, or compel them to
pay the same fees into the treasury
exacted from resident business men in
the same line. The bill has been care
fully drawn, and meets with the hearty
approval of al the insurance men Of
the State.

Resume of Events From the Mar.
shall County Town.
Several rObberies have occurred in
the industrial town and vicinity during
the past several days and the fact that
there is not a substantial clue to the
perpetrators is certainly battling to the
police authorities, who are energetic
ally at work upon the cases. Marshall
Furbee has been informed that I'M
known thieves broke into the saloon
building of Samuel Munas on Marshall
street opposite the Riverside tube
works some time Monday night and
succeeded in getting away with half
dozen half kegs of beer and two or
three cases of bottled beer.
The police are of the opinion that
the stolen goods may have been taken
to the old cave in the hillside east of
town, which upon two occasions, was
discovered to be the rendezvous of
thieves. and will probably search the
place this morning. The. authorities
have received information, which they
hope will lead to the identity of the
burglars in the robbery at the J. E.

A PROTEST
Against the Present Pretense of the
City Board of Public works.

Against the Present Pretense of the
City Board of Public works.
To the Editor OF the Reg ster.
Sir-I was not a .Ittle agitated this
morning after reading in your estina
BILE paper a demand that the City
Board of Public Works clean the
streets of the city.
Permit me 10 enter proteSt.
Any such action by the Board would
violate all the recent traditions of the
city, and constitute an innovation
which might cause a number OF deaths
from heart disease, superinduced by
sudden shock. I'm a kicker, and l
kick
This idea of cleaning the streets is
all wrong, and the Register ought to
know it. Why, the people Of this city,
in the natural course OF business, Nave
accumulated mud on the streets for
months and months. They went 10
some trouble and expense to do it. and
they have not only become acaustom-
ed to it. but they like it. They have
waded through it by day and by night,
to the great encouragement of the gum
shoe and rainy day skirt trade, md to
the profit of the physicians, druggists,
undertakes and grave diggers. Why
hurt these folks, who are not in bust
ness for their health? Does the stony
hearted Board of Public Works wish
to see a whole lot Of people &C into
bankruptcy? Does it desire to sea our
sellers Of water-tight shoes go broke
or the purchasers of collins on the in
stalment plant cease their weekly or
monthly contributions, to the sorrow
of the dealers in those necessary COM
modities? Must the dispenser Of qui
nine pills be forced to hang ont a red
flag, and poor ''cabbie' give up his oc-
cupation of ferrying folks around the
block? Only about half the popula-
ton are i'll at present. Let nature
take her course.
| fancy the Board is not so callOus.
and yet only to-day | saw little clus-
ter of men with hoes and shoyels bus
lily engaged in an alleged attempt to
clean the mud off one short block. 1t
was an outrage and a shame, and
hope the like will never be seen again.
The Board of Public Works ought TO
better reverence the traditions of the
department and let the mud alone.
The, Board is strictly ornamental, and

uary in the window, which was to have
been retrimmed in the morning. Dono-
van secured three cases. two OF which
have been recovered, and will be offer
ed as evidence. The stone did more
damage than the loss of the watches
would have amounted to. 1t broke two
statuettes and damaged a bronze
statue.
Dave ..-tchie, an engineer on the
Pennsylvania line, and who lives on the
Island was passing at the time. He
saw Donovan at the window and mott
ned Officer Wells, who started in pur-

Junklns, who saw aim walking down
through the market house. and he
turned him over to Officer Wells.
- IS said that Donovan will also be
charged with the robbery committed
there few weeks ago, in a similar
manner. Donovan is said to nave a
past record that will make the case so
hard with him. He has served one

OEX-Gov. Altgeld. who was one of

ETThe Ohio democracy bungled
