| Marshall County Farmers Mutual
Meets in This City Today.
| The annual meeting of the Marshall
| County Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company was held in the east
court room this afternoon. The direc-
tors meeting was held this forenoon at
which time the years business was
gone over and bills were audited and
allowed. The company has paid more
losses during the year just closed than
in the four years previous to 1902 taken
together.
The most important matter to be
considered this afternoon was resolu-
ton that was introduced at the last
meeting, calling for the assuming of risk
On stock contained in outside build
ings. Most of the farmers engaged in
operat ting their own farms think that
their stock should be protected from
fire and lighting. no matter where con-
tanned, while the articles of the COM
pany do not call for taking risks on live
stock unless it is contained in a build
ing insured. The sentiment against
the insurance being placed indiscrimi-
nately arises from members of the
company who own farms, live in this
city or other towns in the county, and
therefore do not personally operate
their farms The farmers claim that
nearly all other farmers mutuals in the
state. at any rate those of Jasper Story,
Poweshiek and Tana, insure stock any
where, and those who live near the bor-
der lines of the county can do better by
taking out insurance in those compa-

Des Moines Man Claims to Have Been
Exposed to Smallpox in.,This City.
+. II. Bride, Des Moines man, who.
with his wife and four children, is ill
with smallpox, claims to have contract
ed the disease in this city. AS there is
no case in this city, nor has there been
this season, Bride has evidently been
the victim of mistaken identity with the
particular germ in question. The News
of Sunday morning says of the case:
'.Dr. Smith, city physician, has made
an investigation into the six cases of
smallpox discovered in the family Off.
III. Bride, at 210 Hillside avenue, on the
south side, and discovered that Bride
contracted the disease while working at
Marshalltown, three or four weeks ago.
Not suspecting exposure, Bride came
home and was taken down with illness.
He called a physician, but as the dis
ease had not progressed far enough to
disclose its true character, 1t was not
detected. However, it was learned that
Bride himself had passed thru all the
stages of the disease and was recover
ing. when his wife and four children
We're taken down.
Doubtless Bride suspected the char
acter of the malady, and the fact that
he kept SO close to the house and the
children were not allowed to leave the
premises excited the suspicious of the
who requested that an in
vestigation should be made.
THE entire family was removed to
the hospital. the house securely closed
and thoroughly fumigated."
