Wisconsin Com missioner Denounces
Old Line Companies.

Wisconsin Com missioner Denounces
Old Line Companies.
In the advance sheets of his annual
report on life insurance companies doing
business In Wisconsin, Insurance Com
missioner Host makes the startling state
ment that "the thirty-seven old-line life
insurance companies trhnsacting business
in tho State in 1904 confscated about
S14,000,00O, which belonged to and
should have been returned to their pol
icy holders"
Wisconsin is one of the two States
of the Union that require life insurance
companies to attach "gain and loss" ex-
hibits to their annual reports.
Tho commissioner says that these ex-
hibits "show that the reserve released
on surrendered and lapsed policies dur
ing 1901 amounted to $51,747, ,440.S5,
while the actual sum paid by these COM
panies to policy holders who lapsed and
surrendered their policies was only $37,-
752, 1880"
The commissioner says that "the load
Ing or that portion of the premiums
used for expenses by these companies
in 1904 was $115, ,2S2.14, while the
actual expenses Of the companies
amounted to 1922 ,004, 1866, or over
$7,0OO000 more than that allowed for
expenses"
With the $14,0o0,000 retained from
policy holders really entitled to it, sit
was nm easy matter for these companies
to exceed their expense loading by over
S7OOO,OOO," the commissioner declares.

ANNUL MARKETS CONTRACT.

Canal Supplies Will BE Handled Under
Comm missioner's Order.
The last action of the Panama canal
commission before sailing from Colon
for New York was the annulment of the
contract awarded to j. u. Markell of
Omaha, Neb., FOR feeding and caring for
the employees of the canal. The reason
for this action is that Chief Engineer
Stevens. through the department of ma.
terials and supplies under Messrs. Jack
son and Smith, is handling the commits
saries successfully, rendering unneces-
sary the arrangement.
The contract with Mr.. Markell was to
run live years and it was estimated that
1t would involve $50,000.OOO. Hudgins
d Dumas. one of the other firms bidding
FOR the contract. protested against the
award TO Mr.. Markell, alleging fayorit-
Ism and charging that the latter was
enabled through leak in the Office of
Chairman Shontz to gain information
about the other bidders which aided him
In bidding successfully.

long SO that anyone can come to the
office in the state house, find out exact
ly what goods and supplies are or
hand at each institution, and also how
much has been consumed in any given
time. The reports will be kept up with

Tourist Car Popular.

The idea that an inferior class of peo-
pie patronize the tourist sleepers is an
error. On many trips only the best class
of travellers are found. They are mere
ly men and women of good sense who
would rather travel to California in this
manner and save a snug sum of money
to be used elsewhere. 1t is beginning
to be understood that it is by no means
necessary for the traveller to spend a
large sum of money in. order to enjoy
a trip to the Pacific coast.
If you cross the continent in one Of
the tourist sIeepers of the Union Pacific
you will enjoy your trip and save con-
siderable money. Inquire Of the nearest
