Mr.. NOBLE PROTESTS.
Thinks There Was No Cause for Com
plaint About lettinu Of Insurance..

H Ht0ssts W ~
Editor Times-Republican: In your
valued paper of Saturday l notice
what your correspondent here has to
say regarding h action of the board
of supervisors of Hardin county in
awarding the insurance On the court
house. About all that need be said in
reply is that your correspondent is In
the employ of Mr.. J. f.. Hardin, who
| represents several insurance companies
here, who formerly had carried a part
| OF the court house insurance and who
now has had his policies dropped from
! the risk. 1t is very easy to see why the
| gentlemen in that Office should find
| fault with the action of he board In
| this instance; that is why the tax
payers are so anxious that there be no
question 'as to the validity of the in
surance on the court house" The poll
| cies we wrote on the cour house are In
| the following companies: The Atna of
Hartford, the Liverpool, London and
| Globe of Liverpool, the Northwestern
| National of Milwaukee and h Penn
| sylvania Fire of Philadelphia. ! am not
| advised who the attorney is from whom
| the information was received thai these
! ~policies are of questionable RESPONSE
| b;lity: but he knows that there Is no
more reliable company in the United
States than those -four companies just
mentioned: he should also know that
when the companies AVE approved the
policies, as they have In this instance.
that they could not question the va
lidity of the policies, even II they would.
| No doubt Mr.. Hardin himself has fire.
Guently written policies on his w
property and signed the policies. and he
knows very we'll that those policies are
lust as good as If written by another
agent.
Further, 1T Is difficult to see the JUS
tice of the correspondents complaint.
His Office wrote a policy last month on
the moor house for $4,000, and charged
and collected the premium of 1915. That
was a risk on which at he time this
Office was carrying a policy. But when
| thew wrote that premium of $2i5, before
the existing insurance expired, did you
receive any account of a kick from In
,rance mem or taxpayers! 1t really
seems that your correspondent In his
anxiety to furnish news has brought his
nersonal matters prominently before
the public.
All that / wish to do is to have you
give the names OF the companies writ
irp this insurance SO that the people of
Hardin county hi read your paper
NAV know that they have good insur-
nee on their court house. The names
OF these companies Is all that is neces-
sary to satisfy them on that point. as
all four of them are known to be among
the best, the oldest and the most re-
liable companies in the world! And now
because the Office in which your CORE
spondent works has lost a little policy
OF $4,000 on the risk he must vail like a

of the t~wenty-three made a practice OF
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspep-

One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that az

Their Troubles.

Their Troubles.
Special to Times-Republican.
Sloan. Jan. 26.-A recent article In
the Star says:
"A number of the business men and
other enterprising citizens of Sloan
are quietly but earnestly agitating the
question Of the establishment of a pub
lie lighting and heating plant. The
agitating has been given impetus by
the present unsatisfactory methods of
securing these two most essential nee
~essities Of commercial and domestic
life.
The matter as yet is in ar. embryonic
state, no definite steps having been
taken toward the organization of a
company to put in such a plant. but
the question Is being generally dis
cussed, and much favorable sentiment
is expressed. 1t Is probable that steps
will be taken to secure an estimate as
to the probable cost OF a plant of suf-
heat for the town, together with the
probable COS of light and heat to con
Sumers.
It is pointed out that there would be
a great saving in expense, o in the
matter of heating and lighting, ii the
people of the town generally would
band together and share the expense.
Besides the saving in Expense which
doubtless would follow the establish
ment of such a plant. the convenience
Ito business men and h~ouseholdefs
(which would follow the d~iscarding of
local heating and lighting systems,
and the doing away OF the manifold
annoyances contingent upon the use
of coal and wood and oil in stores and
residences would be ~incalculable.
The general sentiment of people who
have expressed themselves on the sub
jet is favorable, and 1t would not be
surprising If the waterworks and tele-
phone systems established during the
past year should be supplemented be-
fore another e a rolls round by an

Patent Obtained on a Burglar Alarm
System.
Special to Times-Republican.
Estherville, Jan. &c. o. Miller has
lately returned from Chicago, where he
has had on exhibition a working model
of a burglar proof vault lately patented
by him. 1t is so constructed that an air
chamber is formed around a safe or
vault to which is attached a diaphragm
operating a circuit closer when the air
is released. In the vault there is an
electrical Device consisting of an open
and closed circuit, the main circuit be-
ing the closed circuit, which may be
carried to any distant point, there at
tached to a similar device operating q
gong continuously in the same anner
and at the same time as that in which
the gong is operated at the vault. This
system has been thoroughly tested by
the Chicago Edison Company, whose
experts could find no flaw in its mech
anism. Mr.. III. B. Gear, the general In
spector of the Edison Company, has this
to say of the device: w believe h
it would be impossible to burglarize the
safe protected by this device without
operating the alarms at the vaul as
we'll as at the distant station"
