Wagner Program.

The "Song to the Evening Star"

Oil Discolors Wood.

Some people get less satisfaction than
they should from hardwood floors be-
cause they do not know how to care
for them.
Oil should not be used, and any prep
aration containing oil should be avoid
ed, as the tendency Of this material
is to darken and discolor the wood.
Varnish will have the same effect in
time, and will also cause the floor to
show scratches and heel marks.
No water, either hot or cold, should
be applied to the hardwood floor. It
is much simpler and more effective to
simply wipe up the dust with damp
cloth. For ordinary rooms some form
of prepared wax makes the best finish.
It should be applied in two coats, each
being rubbed on as thin as possible
with cloth and polished Immediately
with a weighted brush designed for
that purpose. -.
If it is desired to secure a very bril-
liant finish, two coats Of white shellac
may be applied first. AS soon as the
shellac is dry it should be gone over
lightly with sandpaper, after which two
coats of wax should be rubbed on.

WILL MAKE SERMONS
r.. AUDIBLE TO DEAF

Lowry Hill M. E. church is planning
to install the aurophone, a hearing de-
vice by which deaf persons may sit in
any part Of the auditorium and yet
hear distinctly every word OF the
preacher.
This apparatus consists of a trans
mitter which looks very much like the
ordinary telephone transmitter, which
is suspended in front Of the preacher
and connected by wires with the pews
reserved for the deaf, where receivers
are attached as they are needed: The
wiring is so arranged that the batteries
in the receivers reinforce each other,
and the more people there are "on the
line'' the more distinctly the sermon
can be heard.
This apparatus has already been used
with success in the Broadway theater,
New York, and in one Of the leading
churches of Milwaukee.
l.. G.. Laureau, perfector Of the in
strument and president Of the company
which manufactures it, is in the city
today and will remain until Tuesday.
He has a complete outfit for church
use with him and in about ten days
will send one to Paul G. Hirschy, the
optician, which will be at the disposal
Of any one wishing to test it.

INSURANCE COMMISSION SEES
NOTHING WRONG IN THE NEW
IOWA CONTRACTS.

T. D. O'Brien, insurance commission
er, thinks that the Northwestern Ma
tional Life Insurance company Of Min
neapolis has a perfect right to sub
stitute it's own policy contracts for
those Of the old Northwestern National
Savings association of Iowa, which it
absorbed, when the parties holding the
former Iowa company's contracts re-
quest the change
81 don It see who had any right to
object to the change in Contracts"
said Mr.. O'Brien today, "when the
change is requested by the policy hold
er and consented to by the company
issuing the contract. I should not be
surprised if the investigation now be-
ing made of the Northwestern National
Life by Actuary Wolfe Of New York
would show that such changes have
been made in policies Of late. and if
they have been agreed to by both par
ties to the contracts, shall not criti-
cize such action. ~
This change being made with Iowa
holders Of contracts is at present the
basis Of suit in Iowa against the
Northwestern National, involving some
thing over 100000 in the company g
assets.

FARMER Is CAUGHT IN
HIS OWN BURGLAR TRAP

Special to The journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 9.-Caught
in his own burglar trap was the thrill
ing experience Of Clark Jameson, a
farmer residing near Orilla, Warren
county, last evening. Owing to the
son manufactured a continuance over
the door of which a heavy beam was
suspended, which would drop and close
the door of, his poultry house, by which
a heavy beam was suspended, which
would drop and close the door Of the
coop when the handle was turned.
Returning from town last evening, he
tested the trap to see if it would work.
The beam fell, striking Jameson to
the ground and breaking three ribs.
He was discovered by his sons early
this morning pinioned to the earth and
unconscious. The exposure and his in
iuries threaten serious results.

D. O'Brien, insurance commissioner
holding that Especial contracts" in
life insurance are permissible in this
state. The test of the question was on
the form Of special contract issued by

st. Paul, whereby Minnesota parties in
sured under it's provisions became spe-
cial agents Of the company and in re-
turn participated in special fund ere
ated from small percentage on all bus

old ruling in 1902 by former Commits
sioner Elmer H. Dearth, the special con-
tract was allowable; in fact, it had not
been issued till submitted to the insur-
ance department. and fully approved.
