There is a great increase in England
of life insurance without medical ex-
animation. a system highly praised by
some experts.
Broadly stated, the position of che
companies which seek the business is
that the benefit Of selection in keeping
down the death rate exhausts itself IN
the first few years, and thereafter the
mortality is above average.
If policies were issued to the trsr
10000 apparently healthy men met ira
the street by agents Of the company,
the mortality Of the group would be
much the same as that Of 10000 in
sured lives of similar ages who has
passed a strict examination five years
previously.
Accordingly in risks taken withouq
examination an extra charge of 81 pep
$500 Is made for the first year and s.
extra for the next two years, the rate
after that being normal or proviso Is
made that in case Of death within five
wears only a part of the premium Is 70
be paid. V'ith Ties" precautions th;'
business is considered conservatives

DIES MONIES RIVER STEAMER GOT
LOST IN THE FOG.
CAPT. "BILL" PHELPS COINS PHRASE
Many Boats Piled the Des Moines
River in the Early Times-carried
Freight and Passensers-List of
Boats.

In the early fifties there was a
steamer on the Des Moines called
"The Maid of Iowa" She was navi-
gated by a jolly old captain named
Bill" Phelps. One dark, foggy night
during the high water season, Phelps
boat was coming up the Des Moines
with heavy load of freight and pas
sengers. The captain had been asleep
for hours. Finally after struggling
against the current and through the
fog for many hours, the pilot gave up
and admitted that he was lost. The
captain was heavy sleeper and bad
man to wake up. Every one on the
boat was out trying to decide where
they were. Captain Phelps was drag
ged out, conducted on deck, and was
told that the boat was lost. He took
a couple of turns around the deck and
| went out on the bow and peered long
and deep into the fog. Inen, with a
grunt of satisfaction he jerked out,
Cup Soap Creek, by G."
Captain Phelps phrase was instant
ly taken up and for many years was in
the most common usage.
A Very Navigable Stream.
In those olden days the Des Moines
river was very navigable stream
during the spring months. Merchan-
disc and passenger boats piled be-
tween Keokuk and Des Moines. Some
seasons when the high water con-
tinued longer than usual some of the
boats were able to make eighteen or
twenty trips during the three or four
months period. In those early days
and especially during the high water
season, practically all the merchandise
was carried by boat. At that time the
boat landing or port of Ottumwa was
one of the most important and busiest
points in Ottumwa. The arrival or
departure of each boat was as care
fully noted and published as is the
times of the trains of today. In look
ing back over the files of the Courier
there frequently appears an inventory
of the cargo brought to the little city
by each individual boat. The follow
ing is list of the boats that in times
past piled the waters of the Des
