Frequent Railway Accidents Are
Swelling the Business of the
,.. Accident Men.
Double Liability Clauses in Policies.
Cause Insurance Men to Doubt
Companies Gain.

Accident insurance men are not exhibit
ing a ghoulish glce because of the large
increase in the Minneapolis business re-
sulting from the recent and frequent rail-
way disasters. The published reports of
accidents in different parts Of the coun-
try undoubtedly increase the number of
insurers. but at the same time death or
disability i'll railway accidents hits the
companies: twice as hard / as death by
other classes Of accidents. The agents
are now figuring whether the increase in
business will more than compensate for
the loss from the double payment for rail-
way accident claims in case these con-
tingent liabilities have to Ibe met.
1t is a daily experience bf the accident
insurance solicitor to receive as reply to
his solicitation. What db I want acct
dent insurance for; I never travcl?' The
reply seems peculiar to the insurance
man because statistics la We taught him
that the majority Of accidents occur right
at home or on the street, in falls and
ordinary nishaps SO common that the
danger does not seem toE appeal to the
average person. Yet though one in every
eight persons Insured is Killed or injured
and from IS to 81 claims every working
day are paid in the Uniteh States by the
large companies, comparatively few
claims grow out offrailway accidents
Nevertheless. when a pei iod of accidents

The use Of. cocaine and others drugs
among the Better class Of the citizens Of
Minneapolis, though not uncommon, has
never spread to a, dangerous extent -ac-
cording to representative druggists of
Minneapolis Though both cocaine and
morhpine are habitually used by hun
dreds. of: persons, the greater portion of
these are found among abandoned women,
and the percentage of the middle and up
per classes who use either of these drugs
IS comparatively SMALL while among the
workinsmen and their families the habit
is almost unknown. ~%EF e.
these two drugs are the only ones used
haoltually by any number of residents Of
this city,. The use of bcomides is not
common, while choral, on account of the
diHlculty III procuring it. is little used.

Among the abandoned women here, the
use. OF both morphine and choral is not
rare This combination habit as it NAV
De called. is much more deadly than the
use of either morphine or choral alone
Except among the class mentioned how
ever, few persons habitually take both
drugs: Thomas Voegeli, of Voegeli Bros,
said to-day <.''.e~s5- : : :,
The use of either cocaine or morphine
among the middle and upper classes is
not extensive enough to cause alarm.
Inc downtown druggists have for some
time persistently discoura ged men who
were beginning to use one Of these two
drugs OF course according to the law we
are forbidden to, sell either one unless the
purchaser presents a physicians prescrip-
ZION, and We never have sold them except

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC SALON
Definite Arrangements to Secure the
81 Library Gallery, Beginning =

=
Feb. 4.
The uncertainty about an exhibition
gallery, cast some doubt upon the posi-
bililty of opening the Photographic scion
on the date announced Feb. A. but arr
engagements having been made with Mr..
Walker. and the library board committee,
this obstacle has been removed: The
paintings of the public library gallery will
not be removed for the solon, but the
light screens used last year will be used
again for hanging the photographs
These screens will be given a .freproof1ng
treatment to minimize the danger Of fire.
The. Jury that selected the prints was
Robert Koehler FL. E.. Murdoch and L. D.
Sweet. and about 200 have been selected.
A collection of Chicago prints have not
yet arrived and will swell the number
Owing to the fact that the Chicago .solon
closed this month and many of the exhib
its were sent on from there, the Mime
apolis exhibition will profit by its proximi-
ty to the Art Onstitute
The list of Minneapolis exhibitors is not
large, but includes a number of the best
amateurs. Those exhibiting are NJ

NJ Doran. Jr.. gave a remarkable dis
play of nerve in winning the championship
in the final round with w. v. s. Finch
Doran finished the first two rounds two
up, but in the first round In the after
noon Finch quickly overcame this ad-
vantage, and was two up after twenty
seven holes In the first three holes OF the
last round he gained two more, putting
him four up with only six to play.
At this juncture the championship
looked like a cinch for Finch, but Doran
never lost heart, and in spite OF getting
into difficulties several times In the next
few holes, he finished even up on the thlr-
tv-sixth and then easily won the extra
hole and the match.
After giving a wretched exhibition IN his
long game during the third round and the
first three holes Of the fourth. Doran sud
denly braced and on the fourth hole,
Glenview, he reached the green in three,
while Finch got into bunker and
next Finch missed a chance to halve by
a poor putt and Doran was only two down.
Finch played in, luck on the sixth, his
second hitting the side Of the bunker, but
bounding over, and enabling him to halve
the hole when Doran missed a six-foot
putt.
The most sensational play of the day
came on the next hole. Doran's second
landed him in the street, and as Finch got
to the edge of the green in two, it seemed
almost certain that he would take the
match then and there, three up and two
to play. Doran, using his niblick APP
preached from wretched lie to within
three inches of the cup, and holed out il
| four leaving Finch but one up. The mex

ARSENIC KILLED HIM
And Now Mrs. Bowers Is Under Ar

Her Husband.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
San Francisco, Aug. 31.-What promises
to be as famous a poisoning case as that
Mrs. Martin L. Bowers and her sister,
Mrs Martin L. Bowers and her hister,
Mrs Zlypha Sutton. They are accused
of putting arsenic in the food Of Mrs.
Bowers husband, thereby causing his
death.
Bowers was thought to have kidney
trouble and was taken to a hospital At
home and at the hospital his wife attended
him constantly and gave him food and
medicine. Much to the surprise Of the.
doctors he continued to fail. When he
died, the doctors suspicious were aroused
and they had the coroner called in. An ex-
animation Of the stomach showed arsenic.
The widow was arrested as suspect
and yesterday it was discovered that her
sister, Mrs. Sutton, had bought arsenic al,
a drug store.
Both women deny that they had any
thing to do with Bowers death. What
puzzle the police is motive. Bowers had
some money in q bank but it was In his
wifes name and she could have drawn II
at any time. She was in love with a man
named Patrick O'Leary, it is said, but he
cannot be connected with the poisoning.
The theory however. is that the wife
wanted to be rid Of Bowers that she might
marry O'Lsary. 3.s
