DISTINGUISHED VICTIMS.
Fever Has Claimed Some Shining Marks
 In Pensacola.


 Pensacola, Oct. 1o.--(special.)--The death of F. L. Bowen last night at the Southern Hotel only marks one more sad visitation of the fever to this place. MT. Bowen was manager of the new Southern Hotel Having a great deal of faith in the future of Pensacola, he came here a few months since from the east coast and assumed charge of the new house, intending to attract tourist travel this way which formerly went to the east coast. He assumed management of the new house on the first day of May and had built up a good business, catering both to the local and the travelling public. A few days ago, however, he was seized with the prevailing fever and his death fol- lowed.
 The death of British Vice. Consul Bonar is another sad remembrance of the fever's visitation. This gentleman came here from Brest, France. some years ago, being assigned to represent the British Government at Pensacola upon the death of the former represen- tative, Hon. o. c. Howe, who died while holding the position. MT. Bonar was A jolly Englishman, and had made countless friends in this city. He was surrounded by pleasant family, hav- ing a wife and two children. Every thing of a distinctly British nature ap- pealed to him. and he was particularly interested in everything tending to pro" mote the good will of this and his coun- try. His consular reports, which he made regularly, were always widely read, and were published as regularly as received in Great Britain. He re- sided on West Gregory Street, in a large home secured immediately upon his assignment to this place.
 The death of Swedish Consul Wolf burg some time since is recalled yividiy by the visitation of the fever at the home of the British represen- tative. MT. Wolfburs was among the first few to go down before the fever.
 Doctors Having Trouble.
 Prominent physicians in the city are having their troubles these days with the negroes and a certain class of the Greeks The negroes are especially defiant in following the precautions of the health authorities, for they do not obey the rules as laid down by the doctors and this tends to spread the disease more than anything else Patients who are placed under mos quito netting are found at the second or third visit of the physicians sitting in the sick rooms with their trousers rolled up and in many cases are cloth ed In an undershirt.
 All this furnishes an excellent chance for the disease e-breeding mosquito to get m it's best work, and the insect usually does just what 1t Is given the chance to do. Stinging these care less patients. the doctors figure that the insect carries the disease to others in the house and neighborhood and inocu- lates a number of persons before pro- tective measures can be taken.

MUTHL ALSO
 C5NTRIBUTED Gk: Literally to Repub- lican Campaigns. McCURDY ON THE STAND President Makes Startling
 Statement. Insurance Company Not Intended as Money-maker for Poifcyholders,
 But to He Great Philan-
 thropic Enterprise.

New York, Oct. 10.-The sessions of the insurance commission investigation were terminated for the week at the adjournment today because of the death of Frederick Nixon, Speaker of the As- sembly of New York, at his home in Westfield.
 The testimony today did not elicit any information Of a sensational na- ture beyond what had been discounted in the testimony of previous witnesses. The feature WIS tho presence as wit nesses of the executive officers of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. These were Richard A. Mccurdy and Vice. Presidents Granpiss and Gillette.
 While it had been hinted last week that some expenditures charged to legal expenses might have bean contribu- tions to campaign committees. 1t was ar nount d definitely by pr. Gillette that the Mutual Life Insurance Company contributed s40,0e0 to the Republican National Committee last fall. That in full $35. 900 was contributed and in 1896 sI5.00o was given for campaign pur- poses.
 President McCurdy was questioned at the afternoon session Mir. McCurdy testified that he never knew what MT. Thebaud, his son-in-law. was getting out of the business of c. H. Hammond K Company, and said he did not think 1t was his business to ask about Mir. Thebauds personal affairs, He said the e mpany did the business to get the commissions and that was all he knew. Witns sss said on the matter of salaries that he had never requested that his salary be raised.
 PhIlanthropfc Enterprise.
 Towards the close of the session MT McCurdy made the startling statement that an insurance company was not an institution founded to make money for the policyholde:s, but was, or should bo, great philanthropic Q. ter prise founded to increase and spread its benefits over the entire earth.
 There has been a great mistake Inads" he said, about the real prov ince of life insurance companies in these latter years. People have been led to believe that the main purpose was to mako money for it's policyhold- CTS. In my view, that is not the pur- pose of such companies. They are eleem 1synary. When a man insurcs in a company he should take into consid- eration the fact that he has entered & great philanthropic concern that is duly bound to spread itself, even though this growth prevents him from realizing as much IS he expected.
 "The purpose of the Mutual Life In- surancc Company is not money making or declaring dividends to those who pay premiums. IL was organized as a great beneficent and missionary !nsti- tuition. Its purpose was to extend the benefits uf life insurance and it's obs ject was not that of declaring dividends which could be spent on cigars or play ing billiards"

Faulty Assessment.

The inacuracy, or inadequacy of
the assessment of personal prop
erty is apparent ION the face of the
returns" Looking over the abb
stract of assessment of this county
as published under the authority of
the county clerk we may see evil
licences of faults. AS instances of
evident inacuracy: there are but lie
pianos in the county. Of these this
city reports 26, Prescott II, Spring
Valley Is and Ellsworth village %,
while nine towns report none, six
towns report but two in each
and three towns return three
in each. Of watches but five
are reported in the whole county.
In the item of vehicles the same alb
surdity appears in varying degree.
There are reported 1922 horses in
the county and but 1851 vehicles
wagons, carriages, cutters and
sleds. Spring Lake has 270
horses and but 20 vehicles of all
kinds reported. The whole value
of merchants and manufacturers
stock for the county is but $435, 726,
of which $81,848 is in the towns.
The whole amount of money in the
county is set down at $35, 439, of
which $1l, $50 is in the towns and
$23,589 in the cities and villages.
This city is credited with $1,000;
Prescott with $500; Ellsworth vii
lage with $4,75O; Spring Valley vii
lage with $3.50.

Extra Session.
ry

Gov. La Toilette called the 1egis-
lature to meet in special session
Dec. 4. In his message to the leg
islators the Governor says he called
them together in view of the fact
that certain questions of import
ance demand their attention. He
says the primary election law should
be amended so as to require a ma
iority vote to nominate; the ballot
should be reformed; the business of
public service corporations should
have the largest publicity; state in
surance companies may need inves-
tigation; the powers of the railroad
rate commission should be increas-
ed; and he recommends that rail-
way companies be compelled to pay
taxes as assessed and be allowed 10
recover afterwards if such taxes are
declared illegal; advises modifca-
ton of the tax-commission law to
make it more effective; also says
the grain-commissio law should be
amended and clarified SO that its
provisions may not be misconstrued.

Booker T. Washington is one of the
executive committee. In 1895
there was movement started by
this management looking toward
assisting colored people TO secure
homes of their own. After the first
three years of following a plan that
proved unsuccessful so far as the
real object was concerned but of
great value in other ways, differ
ent plan was adopted, and now out
of a community of siXty-four fami-
lies, many of them having little and
sometimes nothing but their hands
to begin with, there are only a very
few but what have deeds for homes
of from ten to fifty acres, and they
lately put up substantial church
worth about $4,000. Careful atten-
ton is given to the selection of mea
for this community, but no worthy
applicant is turned away. Such
work as this is meeting with the APP
proval and encouragement of the
South, excepting in possibly some
cases where either lack of knowl-
edge as to the real aims of the work,
or the promptings of selfshness
cause some difficulty, but even this
is soon practically overcome by a
strict attention to the work in hand.

ST, John, Wash, Nov. IS, 1905.
Enclosed find check for 81 so, for
JOURNAL another year.
We were pleased to meet Ellis
Henry, former Clifton boy, now
resident of northern Idaho, who was
in these parts this fall helping in
the harvest,
We have had nice fall for gener-
al farm work and as consequence
the work is pretty we'll along. 1t
has not frozen the ground enough
to stop ploughing. Crops were
generally good. Wheat yielded from
10 to SO bushels to the acre. The
poor yields were from late sown
grain. The price of land is adj
vancing about here every year, and
St. John, though situated on a
branch line, is growing in size and
wealth. Passenger trains now run
daily each way seven days in the
week, while one year ago we only
had freight train in operation.
The city has two banks, four gen
eral stores, three implement houses,
two furniture stores, three black
smith shops, three hotels, two drug
stores, two lumber yards, two liv-
cry barns, four doctors and an un-
dertaker. In addition to these
more important interests there are
such establishments as restaurants
candy kitchens, etc. Some Of the
private residences have been built
at cost of $4,000 and $4,000, and
next year we shall have finished
brick school house. This country
is we'll supplied with everything ex-
cept school teachers. We pay good
wages to teachers-$50 to $50
month and have from seven to nine
months of school year and while
wages are good teachers are hard to
get.
| shall be pleased to answer all
inquiries as to this part of the
country. H. w. JUDD.

One of the Puzzles.

Even modest young girl thinks it
strange that man doesn't understand
all the queer clothes woman wears.
yet the average man who has been
married forty years, and who has had
ever so many female relatives, usu-
ally can not describe a woman's raj
ment to save his life. He would
rather undertake to build truss
bridge than to dress the baby. He
would be deeply offended if anyone
called him dull, yet these small things
are apparently quite beyond his com.
