AFTER MANY YEARS.
Wedding Ceremony in ottumwa Closes
Romance of Long Standing.

Wedding Ceremony in OttumWa Closes
Romance of Long Standing.
From Thursdays Daily.l
The closing scene in romance of
several years standing was enacted
in Ottumwa today when Miss June
Griggs, of Unionville, Mo-, and Jesse
B. Bright, of Kansas City, were united
in marriage. The happy event has
been indefinitely postponed for some
time, but this morning license was
procured at the office of the county
clerk in this city and the knot was
tied soon after.
The groom is a sewing machine
agent and has been in Ottumwa for the
past few weeks. 1t seems that he has
intended to marry the young woman
for several years, but has been unable
to do so until now because of a pro-
vision in the laws of the great state
of Missouri that man shall not have
more than one wife. 1t happens that
Mr.. Bright had been married before,
but through some misunderstanding
with his wife they had parted and he
had asked for a divorce at Princeton.
Mo-, where they were then living. The
court refused the decree, and Bright
was forced to make love to Miss
Griggs under difficulties.
However, the young people were
true to each other in spite of the OBJ
stacles, and if Miss Griggs knew the
conditions she did not let them make
any difference Since Bright has been
in Ottumwa, it appears from what he
told friend in this city that he had
been granted a divorce in Missouri
Accordingly, he communicated with
Miss Griggs, and few days ago she
came to Ottumwa. The two met and
arranged for marriage to take place
this morning. The ceremony was per
formed at the Office of Justice o. S
Campbell, who officiated.
| The bride is member of highly
respected family at Unionville. She is
musician, as are all the members OF
the family. Her sister, Miss Georgia
is a resident of this city, living on
West Fourth street. Mr.. Bright is a
well-to-do young man and is popular
among those who know him. They
will probably live at Kansas City, Mo.
where Mr.. Bright makes his headquar

Increase ofOne- Fourth in Amounts
Asked for Fire Insurance.
OTTUllWA AGENTS GET THEIR ORDERS
Claimed That Reason for Increase Is
Not So Much the Large Loss BY
Fire, Although That Has Been
Large, as 1t is Other Causes.

In accordance with orders issued by
all or nearly all of the standard fire
insurance companies in the country
the rates have been raised twentyfiv g
per cent during the past few days, and
Ottumwa agents along with those of
other cities throughout the country
have received the orders. The reason
for such an increase, it is claimed by
fire insurance agents. is that the losses
by fire and the expenses have eaten
UP all of the collections, or such a large
per cent of them that something had
to be done in order to make both ends
meet
During the past two years the fire
losses in every part of the United
States have been unusually high. MOI
only the large fires which have from
time to time occurred, but hundreds
of smaller ones in addition have al
gone together to swell the aggregate
loss which has come near depicting THE
treasures of some of the insurance
companies, according to the state
ments made by their agents. One ag
ent makes the statement that during
the past three years the fire insurance
companies, according to carefully pre-
pdlSl SlcIllSljCS nave lp0J poi ,Utu,UUt
on the basis of earned premiums.
Was Below Cost.
The statement that the fire insur
ance policies have been sold below cos
heretofore is made by Boston insur
ance journal, which claims that com
petition between agents has caused
the rates to be pulled so low thai
something had to be done in order tt
allow the companies to make money OF
even be figuring on the right side OF
the books. The article from the insur
ance paper is as follows: ~
"The business of fire insurance. a.
whole, has been suffering from de
pressed rates as it has never suffered
before. The trouble today is not al
increased rate OF burning The rela
tive consumption of property by fir,
sis not abnormal. Nor has the ratio O
expense in fire insurance increased il
an abnormal degree.
TT is, however, fact that the aver
age rate of insurance collected from
the property owner has been driver
down by competition to a figure so ali
normally low as to be absolutely in
adequate to provide for normal rat
of burning, an average rate of expense

ance of the block between Third and

CROSS COUNTRY RUN.
Race Between High School Boys Ar.
ranged for Next Saturday.


Something new in the Ottumwa
high school athletics, and something
that is attracting great deal Of at
tention among high school boys this
week is the cross country run which
has been arranged for Saturday. The
race will be of the hare and hound ma
ture, the boys of the class of 1902 to be
the hares and the pick from the re.
mainder of the school to follow them.
The pursued will, according to the u.s.
ual custom, scatter paper along the
route they follow in order to give
their pursuers clue to the course,
while the pursuers will do their best
to overhaul the seniors in as short a
time as possible. Although cross
country running is popular in the east
ern schools it has never been tried in
Ottumwa, and Saturdays race is an.
ticipated with much interest.
