INSURANCE TALK
Mutual Men Want a State Fire
Marshal.
Their Convention Will Close
With Meeting Tonight.

The reform of business methods, the
securing of advantageous legislation,
and preparations for the meeting of the
national association of mutual insur-
ance companies in Topeka in May, 1904,
is consuming the attention of the Kan
sas state association which is in ses-
sion in Topeka today. The election of
officers will be held this afternoon, and
the final gathering will be held tonight.
AS usual the programme of the meet
ing has been somewhat abbreviated by
vention to- get through with what work
it has left. The attendance has in
creased to about forty, many mutual
insurance men dropping in out of Curl
osity TO watch the progress of the state
meeting.

The Coal Arbitration.

New DIX Times:
The test of arbitration is always reach
ed when the wage earners who have
agreed to it are confronted with the fact
that it's decisions will not always fall on
labor's side of the line. Commissioner
Wright has ruled against the contentious
OF the miners in four out of five of the
issues over which the arbitrators were
deadloclked before his appointment as UNI
pire. His most important decision es-
tablishes the right of the coal operators
to employ and discharge whom they
please 1t would seem to be the indiSpu-
table right of labor to work for whom it
pleases. and to leave the employment OF
any mine owner who did not suit it. The
miner is extremely tenacious of his right.
and should be quite willing TO have the
fact established that the correlative right
belongs to the employer.

MUST GET MONEY.
That Is Condition Upon Which
Washburn Can Have Athletics.

Washburn college will either have to
raise 1897 or do without athletics this
season. That is the ultimatum deliver
ed to the students today.
That is the amount the football team
still owes. and they have been warned
that no games can be played until it ia
paid. The balance of the indebtedness
has been removed by subscription
The players were out last evening
practicing, and will continue to practice
pending the settlement of the present
trouble. About the only way out at
present seems to be for some of the
members of the team who have property
to raise the money.

National

One of the things which the Kansas
Mutual association most desires at the
hands of the state legislature is the pas
sage of a fire marshal law A bill COW
ering the subject was rejected by the
last legislature. The duties of the state
fire marshal would be the investigation
of serious fires and the prosecution of
cases of arson. Statistics of~different
states show arson to be the cause of an
alarming proportion of the fire losses.
In states where fire marshal laws have
been in operation for more than a year
a falling off in the number of incen-
diary fires has been observed. This
subject was assigned to Vice President
r. NJ. Scott of Pittsburg for his adj
dress. He this morning presented an
able discussion of the value of such
legislation. He said:
while most everyone is aware of the

Considerable time was devoted this
morning to a discussion of ways and
means for taking care of the 500 or
more delegates who will be present at
the national meeting here in May. The
discussion has been informal but
many ideas for providing ways and
means and for entertainment have
been advanced. Before the close of the
convention committees will be ap-
pointed for taking care of the various
features of the work of preparation
The national meeting will be called to
order on May 25 and Will continue until
the opening of the Kansas semi-centen-
NAL celebration on June 1. At that
time President Roosevelt has promised
to visit Topeka.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
[From the New York Press.l

No matter how swelled a mans head is
he never thinks he is of as much impor-
lance in the world as his wife does.
A woman is always discovering a new
corset that either Will make thin person
look stout or a stout one thin.
1t doesn't take a man long after he is
engaged to realize that he is being shown
around as If he were a new gown.
The reason a scandal party breaks up
late is that every woman in it is afraid
to go away and have the others take up
her case
One nice thing about the way women
dress is that at a picnic they can sit in a
damp place much more comfortably than
a man can.
