"There is no doubt" said Stat udi-
tor Merriam, today, that the e IS an
agreement or combine he : Des
Moines and in the state of IC among
the insurance men as to rates and bust
ness, but that is one of the things that
can not be proved The law directs that
two persons shall not meet and agree
to anything in regard to insurance mat
ters, but if two men do so meet ana
agree and then go out and deny or re-
fuse to acknowledge it, who is going to
say that they have made such an agree
ment. The state of Iowa has strong
law against insurance combines, but 1T
is one hard to enforce" The effects of
this combination are observable. but
nothing can be proved as to it's exist
ence.
The Third district democrats have
but one daily paper in their district to
help them, and now 1t is proposed that
1t shall be made into morning paper
as we'll as an evening paper. pending
the campaign. They are figuring that
this will go far toward helping them
out in the campaign. Since the nomi-
nation of Judge Birdsall the democrats
are not talking so glibly about a ma
jority for Boies. In fact 1t is admitted
by the democrats that the convention
at Hampton did much better than was
expected of 1t.
The nomination papers Of the pro-
hibitionist candidate for congress in
this district have been accepted by the
secretary Of state. Unless some one
chooses to make a fight against them
their regularity will not be questioned.
The prohibitionists have certified that
the conventions at Waterloo were regu-
larly called for the purpose of making
nominations for congress and that 1t
was so understood by the delegates.
Governor Cummins last evening is
sued the election proclamation. This is

Shot by Burglars, Then Robbed.

Mason, w. Va, November 9.-Harry
Allemang, ball player, who pitched in
the Southern League this season and
who has signed with Cincinnati for the
coming year, was shot and mortally
wounded here early this morning.
Allemang had been out with friends and
was returning home at 8 O'Clock. He
found burglars at work in the post Office.
A sentry on the outside ordered Ale
mang to halt. No attention was paid to
the command, and the sentry fired on
Allemang, tho bullet entering his back
and lodging in the left lung. Physicians
state that the wound is fatal. When
Allemang had fallen to the ground tho
robbers took 1880 from him.
Allemang was one of the best pitchers
on the Little Rock staff during tho last
Southern League season, and was q
favorite with the fans of this city. He
was known as steady player and was
often substituted by Manager Finn in
tight places to pull the team out of a
hole. Allomang's work was largely de-
pended on for victory in tho latter part
of the season, when Little Rock was
fighting for second place.

Philippine Army to be Reduced.

Washington, November SIT is said
in Washington that the army in the
Philippines will soon be reduced about
5000. This will cause the sitting out of
the rank and file as well as the officers.
Army authorities will not confirm the
story, but the report is supposed to have
grown ont of an order sent to command
ing officers everywhere to begin thor
ough system of wedding out the rank
and file, which might result in reducing
the Philippine army moro than any
branch of the service. The army is very
popular among tho private soldier class,
and no difficulty is experienced in get
ting the proper kind of recruits. On tho
other hand the navy is always having
much trouble to keep it's ranks full.
Many more applicants for enlistment
are continually appearing than it is pos
sible to accept and the men already re-
sist every attempt to dislodge them. In
order to get the army down to q peace
footing it will DO necessary for the
officers to do some pretty thorough sift-
ing. Every man who is not esteemed a
valuable soldier will be marked for dis
charge at the earliest opportunity, and,
If direct cause does not arise for dismiss
ing him, he will be given his extra pay
and certificate and retired to private
life. This is expected to reduce the
Philippine branch of the army more
than any other and it is believed that it
will be left in it's reduced state until
some occasion arises when it will be ad-
Visable to increase it.

minute and half the hind legs sank to

containing the body was then hoisted
from the ship by a crane and loaded on a
barge on which it was towed about 20
miles out to sea and sunk, the cage being
weighted with about 5000 pounds of old
railroad iron. Mandarin was the largest
elephant in captivity at the time of his
death and had been with the Barnum &
