Des Moines. April 2.-State Auditor
Carroll is going after the mutual in
surance companies to see IL all are
complying with the laws. He has asked
the attorney general for an opinion as
to whether or not the auditor has the
power to limit the salaries or salary
accounts Of the mutuals engaged In
plate glass, hail, tornado and similar
businesses. In fact whether he can
put a stop to extravaganza where he
may find it In all mutual companies
law in regard to these companies lodg-
es great power and discretion with the
state auditor, because 1t is recognized
there must be power somewhere to
protect the numerous scattered policy
holders who are seldom able to have
any real control of the business. 1t
has come to the knowledge OF the state
auditor that some of these companies
have been spending vast sums of money
in salaries and Office expenses. He pro-
poses looking into this very closely,
and then following 1t UP with a close
inspection Of the insurance law of the
state In every particular to see If he
cannot root out some Of the manifest
evils that are creeping in under the
protection Of these laws. 1t means the
inauguration OF an extensive moves
ment for clearing up the business and
putting 1t on better footing.

| Davenport, April Mrs. Marshall
Mink, of WATERFOWL, has become a
raving maniac thru hypnotism. Her
insanity has taken on violent form,
She imagines that she is being thrust
into furnace filled with red-hot Goals.
!; Her husband has been saved from a
Threatened condition OF like nature on
lily by the most arduous labors OF Mon
mouth hypnotists and physicians. The
wife was declared insane Monday after
noon and was brought to the asylum at
Watertewn yesterday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mink are residents of
Warren county. Both have been TAX
ling lessons in hypnotism thru let
tiers from hypnotist in Jackson, Mich.
The last lesson came week ago
Wednesday and was entitled You Are
Going to Sleep" The husband and
wife studied the lesson for u con-
siderable time and both were strangely
affected by what they read.
Mrs. Mink finally began to pass into
the hypnotic state. Immediately she
began to rave about her past life. Her
cries at times denoted that her mind
was concerned with the fliries of
hades while In other moments she
would weep and call aloud for her
children and husband, whom she be-
lieved she had saved from the tor
lures she was experiencing.
During all the time since she first
fell into the hypnotic sleep Mrs.
Mink has eaten no food. She has
aroused herself several times and be-
come rational apparently. At such
times, however she has not been
wholly able to throw off the spell, but
has turned her powers on her hus-
band. hypnotizing him until his con-
dition was almost as bad as her own.
After few days Of this strange
suffering and conduct the county Of
ficiais learned of the condition OF the
couple and decided to assist them II
possible. Monmouth hypnotists were
engaged to rouse the pair from their
strange sleep. They succeeded with
the husband. and the latter exerted
his will powers and his mind became
clear.
The hypnotlsts also reused Mrs.
Mink, but after short periods of clear
mindedness the woman re-entered the
hynnr.5c gate. At length she be-
came fis herself. except forsshsr rawlings.
and then the officers concluded that
her mind was unbalanced. They sum-
moned commission to inquire into
her condition. Physicians examined
her and made every effort to restore
her reason. When all possible meth
DDS had been applied in vain the COM
mission declared her insane and ord
cred her sent to the hospital at Water
town.

aGive Him the sack"

Two noblemen in the reign Of Maxi
milan H.-one German, the other q
Spaniard-who had each rendered a
great service to the emperor, asked the
hand of his daughter in marriage.
Macmillan said that, as he esteemed
them both alike, it was impossible to
choose between them, and therefore
their own prowess must decide 1t; but,
being unwilling to risk the loss of Ell
Their by engaging them In deadly COM
bat, he ordered large sack brought
and declared that he who should put
his rival into 1t should have his fair
Helena. And this whimsical combat
was actually performed in the presence
Of the imperial court and lasted an
hour. The unhappy Spanish nobleman
was first overcome, and the German
succeeded in enveloping him In the
sack, took him upon his back and laid
him Mt the emperor's feet. This comical
combat Is said to be the origin of the
phrase "Give him the sack" SO common
In the literature Of counting.

A wild tusker and younger animal
had done great damage to crops, and
the head man Of the district, Bahia

for any one to approach it.

When the wounded elephant died, Its

LIFE At WEST POINT.
A Example OF How the Cadets Are
Made to EconOmize.

The cadets at the Military academy
at West Point are not favored as are
often the students in colleges and uni
versities who have wealthy parents
that is, they are not furnished with an
unlimited amount of cash to buy Tex
tras" for rooms, clothes and luxuries.
All the cadets stand on the same foot
ing and receive $500 a year, plus the
Communication Of rations amounting to
$109.5O a year. However, with proper
economy this yearly allowance is suf1-
Gent for the support of cadet.
The army cadet who goes to the Mill
tary academy with spendthrift habits
soon receives q decided and severe
check. AS an instance, a cadet some
time ago went to the superintendent
for an order for four shirts, but the
superintendent peremptorily refused to
give his approval. The young man was
sorely in need, and he attempted to
convince his superior of the fact. The
latter took up the cadets account book
and perusing 1t couple of moments
threw it back to him, saying, II have
no doubt you are In great need of these
shirts or you would not present this Or
der, but you are In debt, and there's no
excuse for YOU" The young cadet,
with tears starting in his eyes and u
trembling voice, responded: but, colo
mel, am almost destitute of changes of
clothing. l have only one shirt to my
back, and that Is fatigue jacket"
The colonel was immovable and SIM
ply said as he dismissed the cadet from
his presence, "Well, Mr.. -, I would
advise you to wear that fatigue jacket
until you get out of debt, but be care
full that you can pass muster at the In
spection."-New York Tribune.
