HAIL INSURANCE COMPANIES.

~ In 49,
Some Stutsman county farmers are
complaining bitterly of the treatment
accorded them by some hail insurance
companies. Agents went through the
county early in the summer and in
sured grain at whatNwas considered a
very low rate, but when it ome to
paying losses, the farmers are put off
with various excuses. One company
which done a large business in the Vi
,cinity of spiritwood and Bloom has
paid small loss only, although
there were several large losses in that
vicinity.
Harry Wade's crop was partially
damaged by hail. He notified the
company. a Minnesota outfit. of his
loss and received notice that he should
send them SAT more before they could
do anything. He had paid the regu-
lar rate Of SO before. MI. Wade re-
piled that he would make them a pres
emit of what he had already paid them
and call it square.
With regard to the above criticism
from the Jamestown Alert, an investi-
CATION of the matter at the state in
surance department would indicate
that the insurance officials Of the state
are not at fault. The policy and agree
ment Of the Minnesota company show
that the farmer who insuIes is not re-
quired to pay an assessment until Oct.
|1st, and the companies have sixty days
in which to settle, after that time. AS
this is part of the policy agreement,
certainly the state insurance depart
ment has nothing to do with enforc-
ling the payment of losses sooner. than
the limit fixed and agreed to. a mu-
tual company must first levy and col
Ilect assessments before ii can pay.
All mutual companies are given sixty
days in which to settle their obliga-
tions after October LIST. and the policy
so states.
An inspection of the records dis
closes the fact that the losses sustained
(by all foreign companies doing bus
mess in this stated in Stutsman county
for the year 1902, do not exceed $1,000,
q very small amount for any company
TO pay. The Tribune agrees with the
Alert that there should be . strin-
Igent laws passed regarding mutual
companies. They should be required
to make a deposit with The state In or
der to protect those who insure witch
them.

Indignant Citizen Makes Mop Of
Blatant Anarchist.

New York, Oct. 2S.-W. MacQueen,
the English anarchist who was CON
victed in the Paterson courts Of being
lnstigator Of the fierce riots in that
city in June, spoke at a meeting of
anarchists last night and during his
u~tterances launched into a TRADE of
abuse of the country, the courts,
forms of governments of all sorts.
James Staley, a silk dyer, warned
MacQueen to- stop. MacQueen looked
at the young man with a superior air
and continued his abuse, declaring
that the whole system of government
from top to bottom was reeking and
corrupt, and that the land was mark
ed for failure and final doom.
Staley jumped from a chair and
dealt MacQueen a terrific punch in
the face. He then grabbed the speak
err by the collar of his coat and wiped
the floor up with the red" He
tossed him this way and that. Staley
was hot through and through, and af-
ter reading MacQueen a lecture warn
ed him never to raise his voice against
the country again.

ATE DOG.
Trick Played by Hawaiians on Sen
atoriaI Commission.

Honolulu, Oct. Is, via San Francis
CO, Oct. 2S.-Hawaiians are laughing
heartily over a joke they say was
played on the members of the senator
ial commission last month. United
States Senators Mitchell of Oregon,
Foster of Washington and Burton Of
Kansas were made to eat dog-not
political dog-but real, cooked canine.
Those who are authority for the
story declare that the senators ate the
fare with relish and called for more.
This dish was served the party at
n Of the native "luaus," or feasts,
during their recent visit in Honolulu.
Among the Hawaiians cooked deg
has long been esteemed one Of the
greatest d%elicacies. No native feast
is ever complete without such a dish
and by old and young the morsel is
eagerly sought The dogs SO served
are not any common breed Of mon
grel but are carefully raised and pre-
pared for the table. The senators
thought they were eating roast pig.

WELL KNOWN sTockMAN CON-
MITs SUICIDE AT SHERIDAN.
WAS PRESSED FOR MONEY
Supposed Heavy Financial Losses I'm
pei Horton S. Boal to Kill
Himself.

sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 2S.-[Special
to The Gazette. Horton S. Boal, an
old time COW man of this section and
the son-in-law of Colonel W. F. Cody,
committed suicide at the Sheridan Inn
yesterday by applying chloroform.
Financial reverses are supposed to
have been the cause.
Boal returned from Chicago late
Sunday night. He was last seen
about the hotel at II o'clock and was
found dead at 3 O'Clock in the after
noon. by VIM. Morgan and Nat Brown.
who were invoicing and appraising the
hotel fixtures. They forced the key
out of the locked door and when they
entered found the deceased lying on
the bed with a gun in one hand. Be-
side him was the toe of a rubber over
shoe which had been filled with chlor-
oform and a sponge placed in it.
The cracks in the doors and win
dows had been stuffed with bedding
to prevent escape of the drug.
A pound bottle of chloroform stood
on the table with about half the con
tents gone.
When physicians came Boal was
pronounced dead, although there was
considerable warmth in the body.
Everything indicates that the sui
eide was committed after deliberation.
He left a note to Howard French.
keeper of the Inn, in which he stated
that he was sorry to make him trou-
BILE, but that he wanted to die among
friends.
A note left for H. c. Alger gave the
addresses of his folks, his wife and
two children being at Kansas City
and his father at Chicago. They may
be here tonight.
The local Elks, of which Mr.. Boal
was a member, took charge of the
body awaiting arrival of relatives.
A short time ago Boal disposed of
his ranch neal Birney, Mont, and
sold a lot of cattle on a low market.
Last week he had several more cars
of cattle on the Chicago market, they
selling as low as $40, his 1~,OO0-pound
steers going at $3.75, less than he
paid for them last season.
Boal was known to have been heav.
that everything he touched lost him
money. This is given as the incen-
tive for his rash act.

at this state of things. Ever since
MIR. Chamberlain became colonial sec
rotary he has disregarded precedent.
One notable incident, which has a
slight resemblance to a master stroke
CT policy now initiated by him, was
his visit last aU.uiun to Malta to in
quire INFO the petition of the Maltese
against compulsory adoption of the
English language.
When he returned to London he
consulted with his colleagues, and
soon after came an intimation that
the Objectionable edict had been with
drawn. It is possible that it is this
experience which has prompted him
to study the present condition Of af-
fairs, not only at the Cape, but in
England's two new colonies, so as to
be able to, initiate and carry out an
imperial policy which will be best
suited to the British of the whole of
South Africa.

PRINCE MAY CONF e,
Talk of Wales Visiting St. Louis
EXPOSITION.

London, Oct. 27.-The report ca
bled from the United States that the
Prince and Princess of Wales prob
ably would visit the ST. Louis EXPOSE
ton in 1904, occupied a prominent
place in all the afternoon newspapers.
Surprise was expressed in official cir
cles at the question being publicly
discussed at all.
At York House. the residence of the
prince and princess, a representative
of the Associated Press was informed
that nothing officially was known on
the subject. From inquiries in other
quarters, however, the Associated
Press learned that while no official
invitation had been extended the mat
ter had been unofficially presented to
the king, who returned a polite non
ccmmittal reply. 1t is pointed out
that the question of acceptance Or
declination must come, of course, at
ter the transmittal of an official in
vitation from the United States gov
eminent.

ALL IS NOT LOVELY THERE
MUCH BITTERNESS IN SOUTH

Situation Considered One of Peril Sc

London, Oct. 27.-Gloomy accounts
of the state of affairs in Cape colony,
the Orange colony and the Transvaal
have been received here from time
to time through private channels, but
there has been a tendency to discred-
it them.
The announcement of Colonial Sec
rotary Chamberlain's decision to pro

scented by the termination of the war
and the settlement of affairs in the
new British colonies, consequently
caused the most surprise in political
circles.
It is tolerably certain that if the sit,
uation had not been one CT peril the
colonial secretary would have left
the whole matter absolutely in the
hands of Lord Miner. The feeling
between the British and Dutch people
in Cape colony is said just now to be
more bitter than it was in the days
before the war. The Transvaal and
Free State colors are worn freely by
the Dutch of the Cape.

have visited here a number of times,
their last visit having been only 2
