There have been numerous In

In the now celebrated Morten-

= threw Hon. James Sharp, father
in-law Of the victim, and Mr.. Nj.
|. f. Mortensen, father Of the ac-

: day morning
IL will be remembered that
they met and cordially greeted
each other In the court room at
: that time. and that they ex-
changed some words that were
/. not audible to those assembled,
. These words related TO a mis-
take made in the court room the
: evening before. When the hear

. lowing morning darkness had

when Mortensen, SIR arose TO
: leave he did not discover the
fact that he had put on the

sharp who was the last TO take
his departure, observe thatwhen
; he put on his top coat the gar
ment was not his own and did
not make the discovery until he
was In the street At that time
Il was too late to return and In

Next morning explanations

apologized to Mr. Sharp, The

how the two men met yesterday

stated that each has only the

INSURANCE FOR A YEAR
THE REPORT FOR MINNESOTA
Rest of 1t on Preferred
Risks.

The report of Insurance Commissioner
Dearth for 1901 was made public yester-
day. 1t shows that insurance companies
did business In this state last year at a
net profit Of IL per cent The ratio of
losses to premiums was about % per cent
less than for 1900. During the year nine
foreign and fifteen native companies with
drew from business in Minnesota. The
average cost of insurance was 1874, an in
crease of .03. The average for Ameri-
can companies was 1926; for foreign COM
panies, 1.67. These, figures are taken to
mean that the native companies get a
large per centage Of preferred business,
while the foreign companies accept haz-
ardous risks.
Mutuals and lloyds carried, business
amounting to $12,211, 1872; an increase over
1900 Of $5S8,O44. Their premium receipts
aggregated $226,391, a decrease of $5,152.
Losses for the year were $685. $3.50, a de-
crease of $50, 517
Marine companies wrote 64O7,7 us OF
insurance, decrease of $1,000, 439. The
premium receipts, however, show sub
stantial increase, due to the fact that
these companies had not, heretofore, re-
ported their full receipts.
Township mutuals are found to be the
most prosperous of all fire insurance COM
panies doing business in the state. Poll
cies were written amounting to $135, 425,-
669, an increase of $13,426, 583. Losses
paid amounted to $176,074. Cash receipts
aggregated $267, 472, an increase Of $685.

was trouble with my ankle and foot; the
ankle was weak, and the foot turned out.
For many years everything was done for
my foot and ankle that could be done, but
the desired relief was not given. I heard
and read OF the Bone Setter and came to
see him on the 18th of January last. He
made an examination and told me that
both my ankle and hip were dislocated.
did not know before that my hip was
dislocated. He set my ankle at that time,
without the least pain, and in less than
minute, as I have heretofore stated in
this paper. To-day came to his Home
for Cripples,' again, where he set my hip
perfectly, in the twinkling of an eye,' so
to speak, for it was done so quickly that
did not know when it was done, and
that without the least pain in the world
to me, with his bare hands. and seemingly
with perfect ease to him. It is lovely
piece of work. Now I move easily in
walking, and while there is still a slight
appearance of my having been a cripple,
which was nearly for life, can see and
feel the great change wrought. And
soon as the part becomes adjusted natur-
ally to the new conditions occasioned by
setting the hip, there will not be, in any
way, the least semblance of my ever hav-
ing been cripple. The Bone Settlers
work is certainly wonderful and cheer
fully recommend him to an who may be
in any way crippled, to see him at their
earliest convenience. He has been up
right truthful and honest with me, and
from what I have heard and seen, he is
the same with all who apply to him.
He makes the stranger within his house
ing too good for his patients; every kind
ness is shown them.

The Bone=Setter's References
Are His Cured Patients, Who Voluntarily Give Their
Testimonials Above Their Signatures in the
Leading Daily Newspapers of the
Country-Many of Them are the
Best People in the Land.

Every crippled person who begins an
Investigation of the Bone Setter and his
work. is confronted at the very start
with the plain, simple principles of every
day honesty. First, he or she reads the
testimonial in the paper from some cured
patient. The specific address of the pa
tient is always given with the printed
signature. This stamps it as being per-
fectly honest, as it is. The inquirer then
writes or goes to see the patient who has
been cured. The published statement Is
found to be absolutely true in every par
ticular. The next step is to write to the
Bone-Setter and describe how they are
crippled In response they receive an
honest reply, for if the Bone-Setter has
good reasons for believing that nothing
can be done for them, they are SO written,
plainly If the description of the condi-
ton Is such as to lead the Bone-Setter
to believe that he can give the desired
help, they are written favorably and in
vited to come to West Superior at once.
After the examination is made the appli-
cant is told just what may be done, ap-
proximately how long 1t will take, and
the COST II the applicant becomes pa
tient the work of Fighting the wrong is
commenced at once. Every promise made
is faithfully fulfilled, and truth and hon
asty characterizes the whole professional
and business transaction, and sooner or
later the patient gives his or her test1-
mOnial for publication, and thus the good
work goes on. In writing give your street

these are to be on the regular schedule
of the Chicago & North Western road af

A new code of rules, embracing these
departures, has been issued by the COM
pany, and trainmen are being examined as
to their knowledge of the subject. Every
day from 200 to 300 OF the employees file
into the offices In the various yards and
for ten or twelve hours ponder over
whether a. sidetrack is an auxiliary"
speaking before he is spoken to or
whether hats should be taken off when
passing through the diner OF parlor car.

place has formulated terms euphonous

longer see ''the running of trains,' but
instead watches the movement OF
trains; when trains arc disconnected in
the future, they do not ''break apart as
they Used to, but they part or sep

On April 1 there will be no engineers
on the road, but all will be "enginemen.' y
When trains are delayed along the road,
and the conductor was asked the reason,
they used to say: .'We're sidetracked.'
Now they will inform the suburbanite

to be far more rapid than that of the man
