FIGHTING BLANCHARD LAW.
Insurance Companies Don't Like to be
Forbidden to Combine on Rates.

Des Moines, Sept. s.-Insurance COM
panies are awaiting with anxiety the
decision of the anti-compact case to be
rendered within the next few days by
Judge Smith Mcpherson, of the United
States circuit court for the southern
district Of Iowa. 1t Is said this will be
Forthcoming Sept. 10. The decision is
to be on a demurrer, but 1t will decide
the question of all importance the
constitutionality of the Iowa anti-com-
pact law for insurance companies.
In a case somewhat similar to the
present one, commenced in Nebraska,
Judge Mcpherson ruled that the law
was unconstitutional, but different is

what his decision in Iowa may be.

CAD MONEY PLENTY.
Suspected at centervilIe That Band Of
Counterfeters are Operating There.

Special to Times Republican
Centerville, Sept. S.-The, number of
persons here who have been victimizel
by counterfeit silver dollars has given
rest to strong suspicion that a band
of counterfeiters are working in this
vicinity.
The bad money was at first detected
"Wednesday afternoon at the c. r. I. q
p. depot, where two light weight dol
lars were passed. 1t is understood that
for several days this money has been in
but it was first detected
Wednesday afternoon. 1t is said that
several business men have been victim
lied by the smooth sharpers, but have
said nothing about 1t.
The dollar is not very good imita-
ton and doesn't feel right even to the
most unaccustomed touch. 1t is made
OF an alloy of silver, zinc and lead. and
is very light in weight. When placed
upon the scales one of the counterfeits
weighed exactly BAL grains, or in other
words it was nine ty-four grains shy A
good dollar should weight about 400
grains. 1t is very dull looking and does
MT have the ring the good dollar has.
They can be readily detected even by
the most inexperienced. The counter
feiter's graft is to go into busy store
and pass off their Illegal tender in the
hurry and rush, counting on the clerk
failing to detect the bad money in his
haste

EFFICACY OF THE ONION.
Apply II Outside and Inside ana Care
q Cold.

The idea of an onion cure may not
strike the fancy OF the aesthetic. How
ever, the experience Of those who have
tried 1t is that 1t works wonders in re-
storing racked system to Its normal
state again. There are three kinds Of
doses In the onion cure, or three onion
cures, as you choose to put it. One is a
diet OF onions. the other Is onion plas
tiers and the third is onion strip.
1t is claimed by those who believe In
the onion cure that a bad cold can be
broken up il the patient will stay in
doors and feed on liberal diet OF
onions 1t need not be an exclusive
diet, but liberal one. For instance,
an onion cure breakfast includes a
poached egg on toast, three tablespoon
fuls of fried onions and cup Of coffee.
Luncheon of sandwiches made OF Bos-
ton brown bread. buttered and filed
with finely chopped raw onions, sea-
soned with salt and pepper. makes the
second meal on the schedule. For sup
per tie onions may be fried as for
breakfast and eaten with a chop and q
baked potato.
The strange efficacy OF onions Is well
known TO the singers of Italy and
Spain. who eat them every day to I'm

keep them smooth. Onion plasters are
prescribed to break up hard coughs.
