INSURANCE COMPANY FAILS,
Big Sioux City Concern Fails For a
Bio Sum.

Des Moines, March 26.-With near
fy two million dollars represented in
insurance policies, the Iowa Mer-
chants Insurance company of Sioux
City has gone to the wall. 1t has
asked for a receiver and, as required
by a law recently enacted by the
present general assembly, submitted
it's request first to the state auditor
and attorney general for approval. B.
F. Carroll, state auditor, and Charles
w. Mullan, attorney general. consid-
cred the application and eventually
agreed that the interests of the pol
icy holders will be as well preserved
in the manner of procedure proposed
by the company as by any other and
they therefore approved the applica-
ton.
This company ranks as GLASS
Four" in the state auditors office, be-
ing one of the fire insurance COM
panys doing a statewide business.
For several months it has been on
the verge of collapse and there mas
been a persistent effort to prevent it
from accepting new risks and to en-
able it to reinsure it's business with
some other concern so as to protect
all of it's policy holders. This effort
failed and the receivership was the
inevitable result.

ADOPT AGGRESSIVE TACTICS.
Democratic Senators Want Postoffice
Investigation.

Washington. March 24.-Aggressive
tactics have been decided upon by the
democratic members of the senate to
air their demands for an investigation
by congress of the postolIice depart
ment Notice to that effect was served
on the committee on postoffices and
post roads yesterday, when the COM
mittee again put off the requests Of
Senators German and Clay that one
of the resolutions, now pending in the
committee looking to congressional
investigation be reported to the sen
ate. The plan Of the democratic sena.
tors is now to offer resolution call
ing attention to the former resolutions
and to the fact that they have been
permitted to sleep in the committee.
This would bring the entire question
before the senate.

LAYS BLAME ON BEEHLER.
Auditor Merriam Says Deputy Didn't
Make Full Reports.

Des Moines, March 26.-Before the
statutory committee on retrencnment
and reform, former Auditor Frank f..
Merriam yesterday endeavored to lay
the blame for alleged irregularities in
his Office upon his deputy, Max Beeh-
Ter, who has not appeared before the
committee.
Mr.. Merriam also acknowledged he
had entered charges for full mileage
from Des Moines and return, even
when different trips were not made,
claiming he had right to do this I'M
der the statutes.
1t seems according to the charges
preferred yesterday in the committee
that the system alleged to have been
pursued by Mr.. Merriam and his dep
uty was similar to this: A trip would
be made to Toronto and full mileage
would be charged from Des Moines to
Toronto and back with all incidental
expenses. such as sleeping car
charges, etc, including many inciden-
tails.
Then from Toronto a trip would be
made to Buffalo and again full mile
age charges would be made from Des
Moines to Buffalo and return. From
Buffalo the next place might be New
York, New Haven, Boston, etc, and
the same programme INDUCED in.
Mr.. Merriam claimed before the
committee that he had a right to en-
ter up expenses which might not be
involved at home. For instance, while
in a certain city, the visiting auditor
might want to visit some park. He
intimated he was justified in enter
ing this in his expense account.
AS to the blame which Mr.. Mer-
Ram lays on Mr.. Beehler, it was
claimed by him that Mr.. Beehler had
not made full and specific reports to
him. 1t was considered by the COM
mittee that this indicated lax office
methods, to say the least.

RIOT IN coREA ANTI-FoREieN.
Revolt Suppressed by Japan Not In.
cited by Russia.

Toxic, March 26.-The rioting in.
surgents attacked by the Japanese at
Hamheung were not instigated by the
Russians, as reported. The rising
was an apti-foreign outbreak by the
Tong Haks, caused by Official extor
ton. The Japanese therefore have
released all prisoners except the two
leaders. Marquis Ito has informed
the Corean emperor that the time is
not suited to heroic reform. He has
advised that provision be made to
give facilities for general education
and has specially urged that undue
expansion in ornaments be avoided.

KILL ANTLsoYcoTT BILL.

Adopting Committee, Report.

HOUSE axes ACtiCn against IL py
Adopting Committee Report.
Des Moines, March 23.-By adopt
ing the committee report Of the anti
boycott bill, the house unanimously
killed the measure, which was greatly
opposed by the labor organizations
throughout the state. The bill pro
vided fine and Imprisonment, as well
as injunction, for all persons, union
men or otherwise, who conspire to
injure the business Of a firm, corpor
alton or individual. Picketing, dis
tributing circulars, personal solicita
ton, among the patrons and publica
ton of the statement that certain
firm or individual is unfair, was to be
strictly prohibited and punished. The
author of the measure, however, was
not even heard to protest against the
report of the committee, and the bill
therefore, died without a struggle.

HEADQUARTERS IN lsTHMUs.

Washington, March 24.-Two i'm
portant points have been deveIupeu IN
connection with the work of the 18TH
mian canal commission. One is that
the headquarters of the commission
probably will be on the isthmus OF
Panama, instead of at Washington, al
though an office probably will be main
tanned here. The other point Is that
part of the time of at least five of the
commissioners will not be devoted to
their private interests. Admiral Walk
or and General Davis will devote their
entire time to the canal work. Legis-
lation now pending before congress
provides fer the appointment of gov
crnor of the American zone in Pan
ana. Should it be enacted into law
It is quite probable that the president
may designate General Davis as thn
governor of the canal strip.

AN AUTOMATIC CAFE.
A Coin Dropped Tn the Slot InnsAi. aAsly Produces What OAs Dc
 stree to Eat and Drink.

An instantaneous and automatic cafe. in which speed and silence wi,l be the chief features, is about to be opened in Philadelphia, says the North American.
 Anything from a sandwich to an oyster stew may be obtained by drop ping the necessary coin in slot. Drinks and desserts will be produced in the same plan.
 The food will be displayed in long glass compartments. You see what you want, and by dropping coin into the aperture beside the desired dish and pulling a lever the mechanism starts to work, and let's down a sand wich a piece of pie, or whatever the order may call for.
 It will be impossible to cheat the ma chine; if the coin is not of the proper denomination, or false. it comes back to the customer through an aperture below.
 Under the coffee. tea, and chocolate slots the same rule applies. The coin strikes a disc, which releases just enough liquid to fill cup. The cups are lined uD on shelves, and each GUS toner felns himself
 There will be circular tables. with condiments, and brass chairs for com fort.
 Of course, there will be many who will wish friz7led beef fricassee chick en. baked beans. etc. and f ese instruc. tions are posted fer their benefit:
 On inserting the coin and drawing the ring. receipt 6isc is delivered and the order electrically communicated to the kitchen. Ire food is at once freshly rre "ared, and will be delivered on the in'e' ,ion of the disc in the ad- joiniuy apparatus.
 Srecial attention will be paid to the silence feature. It may be that the cups. ,aucers. and plates will be fitted up with nnermatic tires 10 prevent the continuous ;latter.
 Customers will not be obliged to gather up the dishes. There will be men on hand for that purpose.

Is undoubtedly the simplest engine made, has fewer parts and furnishes more power from the same weight of metal than any other motor on earth. Its manifold uses, its great simplicity, its economical maintenance and its uniform durability and reliability under all conditions demand for it the first place among the engines of the day. Will run anything from the smallest plant in existence where motive power is required to the largest factory. Its uses are co-existent with the demand for an engine-large or small-and of any horsepower or mag nitude required. It can be readily em- ployed anywhere. at all times; in all climes; in the country as we'll as in the city. Its sole motive power, as stated, is ordinary kerosene oil, readily obtain able anywhere.
