AGAINST OUTSIDE COMPANIES

State Insurance Commissioner
Shoher has Just filed this annual
report on the business Of his office,
and in it he takes occasion to make
some statements concerning the bust
ness transacted by the insurance
companies of the country lin this
state:
The statistics of this department
for the past thirteen years show an
average OF 49.7 per centum of the
premium receipts of the fire COM
panles collected in this state has
been sufficient to pay all losses sus-
tanned and that for the past veal but
as per cent was required for losses.
This is premium receipts alone, and
does not include receipts from other
sources, such as interest from in
vested surplus. In the face of this,
the companies, by a general agree
ment, have advanced rates Is per
cent in this state. This advance will
cost the insuring public of South
Dakota over 500. 000 per annum and
go to swell the surplus of the COM
panies. With the old rate allowing
SIS per cent for operating expenses
and dividends to stockholders this
advance would seem unWarranted by
any business policy except avarice.
which must sooner or later demand a
readjustment Instantaneous to the
companies. At the present rates
Dakota would seem to offer an
attractive field for, the investment
OF capital in local stock companies.

is EVIDENTLY CRAZY.
Gus VanHover Placed Under Arrest
Wednesday Afternoon, and is
DOubtIessly Insane.

Sheriff Swindler arrested Gust Van
Hover Wednesday afternoon, on the
strong supposition that he is insane.
He with his wife went into a certain
business house this morning and de-
manded $4,000 on the ground that he
had discovered a plot to murder him,
in which no less than Is individuals
of the city were attempting to coerce
his wife to carry out the plan of
murder. The whole statement was
written and handed to the business
man to read, and he was giver until
3 O'Clock in the afternoon to produce
Tie money or the whole gang would
be exposed to the public gaze. The
whole is without doubt the work Of
a man bereft OF his senses. When
VanHover was searched at the Jail,
a loaded revolver was found .on his
person, and it is thought that later
IN the afternoon he might attempt
to force the payment Of the money
by the use Of the gun.
The case Of Gust VanHcver was
heard by the insanity board Thursday
afternoon and he was released of the
charge Of being insane. He was i'm
mediately arrested under the charge
OF extortion, and his examination
will be held whenever he demands it.
