MORE TORNADOEs.

(From The Iowa Homestead, May 8, 1902
On May 1st, I'd and Sd tornadoes OF
more or less severity occurred in doz-
en- counties iu Iowa, representing all
sections of the state. A large amount
of property was destroyed and several
people killed and injured. A portion
OF the property destroyed was insured
in the Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance
Association. of Des Moines. Iowa, the
greatest of its kind in the world.
The association has had over 600
loses reported in the last week, amount
ing to at least $4,000, and has its full
force of fifteen directors and many
agents at work adjusting the losses.
The ASSOCIATION has the reputation of
adjusting its losses promptly, and be-
fore this article is read most of the
claims will be paid.
A large amount of the property de-
stroyed was not insured in any COM
pany. This should not be when we
have such grand association in Iowa
to furnish insurance at cost. He Vino
does not wish to help others deserves
no help if they meet with misfortune.
The association is doing wonder
fully large business. The March and
April business of this year was the
largest in the history of the association
and no doubt May business will be the
same the way applications are rolling
in.
The Secretary, ]. B. Herman, in
forms US that he received $50 appli-
cations on Monday of this week.
This association works in harmony
with the Farmers County Mutuals and
has the same agents This is benev-
oleut institution, run on business prin-
cipals. 1t has 10000 members. 100000.

H. C. Wheeler in Washington.

B. F. Til]inghast's Washington letter
in the Davenport Democrat: 1t was in
the committee room of Senator Dolliver
that man we'll along in middle life
was writing letters. His wife and
daughter were homeward bound from
Italy. The young lady is 10, a student
in the University of Chicago, She
speaks French and German. He was
telling them that he could not meet
the arriving ship in New York, and
requesting that they join him in Chi
cago. The imam" formerly owned
6.400 acres of as good land as there is
in northwestern Iowa. He cultivated
it. Dipping in politics he was the
republican candidate for governor. as
clean nominee as that party ever had
for the office. Now this ex-Iowan named
lives some SO miles northwest of Gal
weston. He owns 1000 acres of Texas
land about eighteen miles from Beau
mont and fourteen from the Spindletop
oil fields. A thousand acres are in ice
and acre for acre, so he says, rice grow
ing is more profitable than the corn
crop in the state that leads in that
grain. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
has made money by his investments in
rice lands down in Texas, so have some
other Iowans. The gentleman who
furnished this information, while l
happened to be wlthhim for dinner in
the house restaurants promoting an oil
company. He is sure the corporation
can pay dividends in six months. His
name is Hiram c. Wheeler, and it is
perfectly good anywhere.

OwOSso. Mich, April 10.-C: +. and

at n depth of only eighteen inches.

bone of one skull was pierced by two
bullets of large caliber. The SkullN
bone over the right eye of the second
man was crushed as if by Il club.
while the woman had several ribs

The skeletons appear to have been
thrown into the hole promiscuously
and had not been laid out for burial.
great many people have been to Or.
Norris office at MOrrice. hoping to
identify the remains. The oldest resi-
dents cannot remember any mysteri-
Gus disappearance or murders that
account for the find. The bones have
the appearance of having been buried
there many years. \ quarter of
century ago Il stage line ran from

e.LiftinE the King.-

One of the picturesque English coro-
nation ceremonies which have been
discontinued is that of lifting the king.
In the old days the monarch always
slept at the palace of Westminster on
the night before the coronation. The
regalia, which are still. technically
speaking, in the dean and chapter Of
Westminster. We're brought by them to
Westminster hall in preparation for
the ceremony. These were arranged
on a long table, the crown, the scepter.
the spurs, and so on. The king when
he descended from the palace to West
minister hall was lifted by his mobiles
on to q marble chair.
The lifting Of the king into this chair
was survival of the old Saxon custom
of carrying the king on his shield. The
custom survived up to the time of the
coronation of George ". When the
monarch was seated in the chair. he
at once directed by pointing his finger
which of his mobiles should carry the
various parts of the regalia to the alb
hey, and the procession began.-Lon-

HOME RULE FOR LOCAL HOUSES
When Business l. Not Satisfactory the
House Will BE Closed.

When Business l. Not satisfactory the
House Will BE Closed.
THE eastern office will have charge
of the finances, and of the auditing
and insurance of the company. as well
rs the general direction Of all the
houses in Maryland, Pennsylvania.
New York and New England. The
general buying for the company will
be from the st. Louis headquarters,
where the larger contracts will be
placed. but the smaller buying will be
done by the local houses. The principle
of home rule will be recognized in con-
nection with the local houses. who will
make their own selling prices, except
so far as this may interfere with the
buying department. or the expressed
wishes of the manufacturers. which
will be the policy of the company to
respect. Each house will be held re-
spOnSible for the results of its busi-
ness. and if these are not satisfactory
the house will be closed up.
Apart from the fact that the com
pany naturally expects to purchase
goods on the most favorable terms, in
view of the large volume they will
handle attention is called to economies
which will be secured the direct re-
suit of the combination. All the
houses constituting the company will
be i'm IL position to avail themselves of
cash discounts. \ mutual insurance
fund will he created, and the sums
which would naturally be paid by the
companies for insurance under the
present system will be paid into such
fund 1t is estimated that at least
100000 per annum will be saved in
the matter of catalogues.
1T is intended to continue the pres
ent force of statesmen connected with
the various houses, so that existing
personal relations between wholesale
and retail distributors will be pre-
served. There may perhaps be grad
ually transfer of statesmen from ter
ritory that is overworked at present
to other territory where the salesmen's
efforts can be more advantageously
expanded.
As at present constituted it is esti-
mated by the company that they en-
brace something like two-thirds of the
distributing efficiency of the jobbing
trade of the country in the hardware
line They are content that the other
third should remain competitors. as it
is not Sntended to mOponolize the job
bing business"
