Will Fight insurance Trust.

Business men of Brookhcld,
kirksvilIc, MOberIy and Macon are
preparing to fight the insurance
trust which has made eXhorbltant
rates on fire insurance in Missouri.
At a meeting held in Macon last
week of representative business
men of these towns steps were taken
looking to the organization Of a
town mutual fire insurance com
pany. The movement was started
several months ago in the Mobcrly
Commercial Club, which body ap-
pointed committee TO investigate
the cost of fire insurance. 1t was
found that the regular fire insur.
ance companies were operating up
on lines of big trust,
That there was combination
whereby rates were made Just as
high as the companies cared to fix
them and against such cXhorbitant
rates the people owning business
property were almost helpless. II
was shown 10y the sworn returns
of these old line insurance com.
panies to the Missouri State lnsur.
ance department that they collected
last year about 81, 800, 600 in prem
iums from the people of Missouri
and paid back to them in losses
about s. 500, 900 In other words
the insurance trust collected 81 30
III premiums from MS for every
- 30 paid out III losses. And
strange to relate, in spite of this
enormous profit there was n gencr
al raise in rates another notch. As
II result of these findings the Mo
berly Commercial Club decided to
undertake the organization of a
mutual fire insurance company aS
Il means of securing some relief.
Surrounding towns were invited to
co operate. The invitation was
responded to and n meeting held III

An Unconquered Boer.

Commandant Jan Louw, the Bucr
officer who refused to lay down his
arms when his fellow countrymen
surrendered to the British and who
fled to the Longberg mountains on
the borders of German West Africa
with his band Of burgher fighters,
has been successfully resisting the
combined English aud German
forces in South Africa for more
than two years. In June, 1902
when the Boer army capitulated,
Louw fled with only about 800 men
This was the nucleus of the present
little army under him.
Within the first year the little
army was increased TO 2OO0 and to-
day he is said to have combined
force of 5000 sturdy warriors under
his command, Many Beers still
believe that their country can bC
reclaimed and many of them look
to Louw as the man who will start
the next rebellion.
There is said to exist an under.
standing among Beers and theil
sympathizers that the next uprising
will be in 1906. 1t is also STATED
that 1000 men have agreed tC
respond to the commandant''
call.
