st. Petersburg, March 29.-Roving

troops here and there are powerless.
The parish priests, under instructions

making any appreciable impression.
With warm weather crisis will come,

for another extensive mobilization.
In the meantime the situation in the
Caucasus is growing worse A state
bordering on civil war exists in the
Kuban territory, where the population
has been armed for a collision with the
soldiers. In the Georgia, Mingrelia and
Kutais territories the red flag of revolt
has been raised. At Yalta, Crimea,
after the population had wrecked the
vodka shops, police quarters, ETC., war
ships were sent from Sebastopol and
marines landed, as If in hostile coun-

signs.

ing the steamer was delayed and the
men. rather than spend the stormy
night in a shack on the Kansas bank,
determined to cross in skin. About
mid-stream the overloaded skih was
swamped by the high waves and four
of the men sank in the muddy water
and were seen no more. Hutchinson
was seen swimming, but sank before
help could reach him. None of the
bodies have been recovered.

In these days of combines and trusts
it is gratifying to the people of Iowa to
know that there is at least one commod-
ity upon which it would be impossibleto
form any combine that would to any
great extent effect the people Of this
state. We refer to the matter of tor
nado insurance on any class of property
and fire insurance on town and city
dwelling property. We have two of
the largest and cooperative insurance
associations in the world right here in
Iowa. The Iowa Mutual Tornado In
surance association with S106, O00, 900 in
risks and $4,000 members and the
Town Mutual Dwelling House Insur-
ance ASSOCIATION with $2S,0O0,000 in
risks and $1,000 members, both associa-
tions having over 1850 members in
Polk county where the home Offices are
located. A good home Endorsement.
Neither association can be excelled for
prompt and satisfactory payment of
losses. The Tornad association has
paid since organization 1896, 947. 90, and
the Town Mutual Dwelling House In
surance association $lOO,517.O0 since
organization. The Tornado association
has been in operation twenty-one years
and has assessed its members only S9.5
per 81 900 IN that time, or an average
of less than so cents year per $1,000
The Town Mutual has operated thirteen
years and assessed 81. 90 per 81 900 insur-
ed, or an average of 30 cents year per
$1,000.
For economical management these
associations defy the world for compar-
ison. The annual cost of management
being about the same in each association
or % cents per 1000 insured. Only
one case of litigation for the two COM
panies, none for the Town Mutual and
only one for the Tornado company and
in that case the jury awarded the
claimant less than was offered by the
association.
The great success and prosperity OF
these two associations has caused ma.
terial reduction in the cost of insurance
in these classes and every one having
property to insure is receiving benefits
in the way of lower rates. So long as
the people stand by these associations
they need not fear any material raise in
rates or combine for that purpose.
These two associations being purely co.
operative, furnish insurance at the least
possible cost and we'll deserve the pa
tronage and support they are receiving.
While they are separate and distinct as
sociations they have about the same
agency force and cooperate together.
