Would Wind Up the Equitable.

Papers were served-in suit brought
in New York yesterday in the United
States Supreme Court by j. Wilcox
Brown, a citizen of Maryland and
policyholder in the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, for the appointment
of a receiver for the Equitable's $780,
900, 900 of assets and gradual and
prudent" winding up of the society's af-
fairs. The plaintiff alleges that there
have been enormous losses to the policy
holders through neglect and mismanage-
ment, and that the society, having no
finds which il may use to meet these
losses, is insolvent Mr.. Brown also
askeI the court to direct the society TO-
account for the policyholders' funds from
the time OF its organization, to order a
distribution of the surplus, and to enjoin
the officers and directors of the society
from using any of the society's funds
pending the trial of the suit.
Mr.. Brown brought suit sometime ago
against the society for the appointment
of a receiver for The surplus, AMI his
present action is supplemental 20 the
former one. II was the amended bill of
complaint which was served yesterday.

Fol- the week ending May 20, 1905.
Do, Alniunc Inrrr,,

Fol- the week ending May %, 1905.
Des MOines, Iowa.
The week was slightly cooler than
usual, and closed with copious and
widely distributed showers. Condi-
tiOns were favorable for field work
most of the week, and good progress
has been made in finishing planting
corn. This work is practically com
pleted, except where the fields are too
wet. More than the usual amount of
replanting has been necessitated on
account of flooded fields or defective
seed. 1t is probable that the corn
acreage will be considerable less
than the area prepared or intended
for that crop. Cultivation of early
planted fields is in progress.
The cOpiOus rains will prove bene,
fetal to grass and small grain crops,
especially on the driest lands, which
had become encrusted and clOddy.
Most of the reports show favorable
growth and condition of meadows,
pastures, wheat, oats, barley, potatoes
and garden truck. But little damage
resulted from frost on the morning of
the Goth. There are some reports of
apples dropping, but generally that
important fruit crop is promising.
Strawberries will yield heavily. The
cherry crop will be light.

Notes on the Dennison Trial

From the Red Oak Express
Judge Green is an able man on the
bench. His decisions are given quick
ly and are fair to all.
Il. II. Donahue, when being examin-
ed as prospective juror frankly
declared that he never took any
stock in gamblers" and that he
wouldn't accept a gamblers testi-
mony as soon as he would that OF an
honest man. Mr.. Donahue won a
number of compliments from the
attorneys present on his ready an
swers to their questions. MIR. Dona-
hue was excused by the defense. Ed.
Republican,
Three court reporters are busy TAX
ing down the testimony. They are
Messrs. Burlington, Ferguson and
Butler.
At least one half the spectators in
the court room the last two days have
been women.
At least five big dailies have spec
ial reporters at the Dennison trial.
They occupy a table to themselves
close by the attorneys.
BY order of Judge Green the jury
will be segregated until after the
trial. They are being quartered at
the court house and are not allowed
To leave the building unless in charge
of a bailitf. j. l.. Thomas and Ike
Thompson are employed as bailiffs.
Standing room only at the court
house.
Tom Dennison sits at the west end
Of the attorneys table, apparently the
coolest man in the house.
