HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
EVENTS OF A WEEK THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.
Insurance Companies Claim to Have
Been Charged Exorbitant Rates
for MISUNDERSTANDING
for the state.
for the State.

State Auditor B. F. Carroll has com.
pleted his examination as to the ques-
ton Of fees collected from insurance
companies for former Iowa insurance
examiners, and especially those work
ing under State Auditor F. F. Merriam.
Auditor Carroll has been looking up
the matter for some time, but did not
make any Of the facts public until the
other day. He finds that during lsoe.
1901 and 1902 fees amounting to $22.-
500 were collected from insurance
companies in Iowa and other states
for examinations alone. Many of the
companies made strenuous complaints
Of the charges for the examinations.
They declare that not to exceed seven
or eight days were spent In any COM
pany, and the charges went as high
as $500 and $500 for such an examine
ton. They say, too, that the examina-
lions were perfunctory, and that a
thorough examination would require
several weeks. Most of the examina-
tions were made by Max Beehler, Of
Manchester. In some of them he was
assisted by his son. Auditor Merriam
himself accompanied Mr.. Beehler on
some of his tours. The reports Of the
companies show that from May IA to
June IA, 1902, Messrs. Beehler and
Merriam examined six eastern COM
panies and collected $2,524.20 from
them. From Nov. 10 to Dec. IL of the
same year they examined fifteen more
eastern companies and collected fees
amounting to $4,003.45. These fees
were never turned over to the state,
and the executive council finds there
is no way in which they can be re-
covered.

STORM SWEEPS
LAND AND SEA
Terrible Gale Is Reported In Great
Britain.
MUCH LOSS OF LIFE FEARED
Many Vessels Wrecked, and Coast
Towns Suffer Severely-Crops In
Agricultural Dictricts
Greatly Damaged.

London, Sept. 12.-While the details
OF the havoc wrought by the great storm
which ragged over the British isles Thurs
day are necessarily incomplete, the re-
ports coming in from all parts Of the
United Kingdom show that the devasta-
ton was general, and it is feared that the
loss of life is much greater than was at
drst supposed. Lloyds already report
over so serious casualties to shipping.
All sorts Of vessels were caught in the
gale and many foundered. several with
their entire crews. A great number of
minor craft is believed to be lost and the
bodies washing ashore continue to swell
the terrible list of fatalities.
Coast Towns Suffer.
The gale sprang up with sudden fury
from the southwest and the wind blew
With velocity at times reaching ~
miles an hour, and this continued for
several hours. All the coast towns suf-
fsred more or less and the agricultural
sections in the interior report incalcula-

IMPROVEMENT IS REPORTED
Conditions in Trade Circles Continue
Encouraging.
Increased Activity Shown in Many
Branches-Fewer Complaints
Regarding Collections.

New York, Sept. 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
despite the interruption OF a holiday
the week has brought increased activity
In many branches of business. An en-
couraging symptom is the decreased
complaint regarding collections, accom-
panied by more discounting of bills.
Weather conditions have been favorable
for retail trade. distribution of mer-
chandise expanding, while there are fire.
Quent reports of larger jobbing fall busi-
ness than last year. Some caution in
selecting goods owing to high prices is
reported at the west, but this is chiefly
confined to textiles. Labor disputes de-
crease, all but one of the unions having
signed the agreement in the local build
ing trades, and several other settlements
have been effected through concessions
by both sides. Railway earnings In Au-
gust were 81 per cent. larger than last
year and 1874 per cent. greater than in
1901. Owing to the lateness Of the crops
there is little complaint of traffic con-
gestion.
Failures this week were 172 in the
United States, against 205 last year, and
70 in Canada, compared with e a year
ago."
Bradstreet's says:
Trade conditions are still uneven,
but the general drift is toward i'm
proyement A more assured feeling
as to the corn crop is that manifest con-
ditions in most states have improved
since September /. State fairs and low

ZIG GIFT TO WEBSTER CITY.
Mrs. Young Bequeaths Large Sum for
Memorial Library,

Mrs. Young Bequeaths Large Sum for
Memorial Library.
Mrs. Young Of Webster City, died
In the sanitarium at Battle Creek,
Mich. By her death Webster City
comes into possession of 100000, to
be used for library to the memory
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Young. Mr.. Young
died in 1898, and by his will left his
whole estate to the city, they, how
ever, not to come into possession of
1t until the death of his wife. The
estate is to remain. intact with the ex-
ception Of $4,000, which is to go to-
ward the building of fireproof build
ing upon the lots owned by the estate
on Wilson avenue. Only the income
from the remainder of the fortune can
be used for library purposes Through
the generosity of Mrs Young, however,
the library was established in the old
Young home in 1898, although all the
funds which could be used toward it
were simply what Mrs Young did not
use personally out of her allowance.
She was saving, and the city has a
fine library. The new structure will
be built at once. and the city will then
have as fine a library as there is in the
state.

ern distribution, while good prospects
for corn, cotton, rice and sugar at the
south have made for cheerfulness in that
section. Eastern trade advices are of
less notable activity. The lumber mar
ket shows contrasts in different Sec
tons In the west lumber and building
material OF all kinds is active and firm.
but at the east the resumption of build
ing operations at strike-infested cities
has not been sufficient to keep the mar
kets strong. The iron trade Is rather
pessimistic, buyers persisting in holding
on, but the declines in northern and
western iron reported this week are
largely sympathetic, the result of the
reported additional cuts in the southern
product"

SHIPS TO CARRY OWN MODELS.
American War Vessels May Have Oh
Board Miniature Skeletons
of Themselves.

It Is probable that in a short time
every ship in the navy will have q
model Of herself on board. 1t is known
~ a supplementary plan or skeleton
model. The ships Of the German navy
have them. At present even officers
bometimes have no clear conception of
the construction Of the hidden parts Of
the vessels. The only ship that now
has . skeleton Of herself aboard is the
ttArret ship Monterey, commanded by
Commander w. H. Beehler, who was .
naval attache at Berlin for several
years. He is perhaps best known to the
public BY the tact that the kaiser used to
ssu him BILL"
Bsehlef became imbued with the Ger
man ideas while he was at Berlin, and
when hs was sent to the Asiatic feet to
command the Monterey he could not
rest until he had provided his craft
with skeleton model. He hired Chi
nese carpenters, and for two months
thsy toiled fashioning model Of the
Monterey to scale Of q quarter Of an
inch to the foot. The model can be TAX
sn apart. and the men serving on the
Monterey can look under the boilers at
any time instead Of having to wait I'M
I'll the drss are drawn. This fact alone
has saved more than the cost Of the
model.
By means OF the toy ship the warrant
mschinists were able to decide that new
ct Of boilers Of different type could be
put In. Otherwise the question would
have had to be referred to the bureau
o9 steam engineering In this oity, and q
month would have been lost. The model
has been found to be Of invaluable bene-
AZ IN training the men for collision and
IRE emergencies. The Chinese carpen-
tiers charged only 3l1o for the work.
