DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 24-The
senate committee on suppression of
intemperance has voted in favor of In
definite postponement Of the state
marshal bill. This measure provided
for five district marshals charged
with the enforcement of the state
liquor law. 1t had the support of the
Iowa League of Marshal clubs, led by
posed the bill. Mr.. Rankin said that
the fight will be continued in the hope
of winning success at the next session.
The temperance cause, however, has
gained a victory in another and even
more important matter. bill was
passed by the senate making a petition
of consent to sell and manufacture
intoxicating liquors void after five
years from the date at which it took

Plan TO Save Artillery Soldiers
From Danger Of Harm.
ARMY ENGINEERS ARE EXPERIMENTING
ON NEW MATERIAL FOR THE
BUILDINGS AT ALL THE AR
TILLERY FORTS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 24.-The
army engineers who have charge of
the construction of buildings at the
coast forts are engaged in an expert
ment to find substitute for the small
wooden buildings at each coast fort
used in certain plotting" This work
has heretofore been done in the brick
observing rooms, which are now found
to be too damp to be occupied fir that
purpose Wooden buildings are much
better, but there is a menace in hav-
ing such structures in the neighbor-
hood of the guns, or where they are
likely to be hit by the shells of the
enemy. This is especially so at Fort
Wadsworth in New York harbor,
where there are some fifteen of these
little wooden houses in row, with
spaces of only a few feet between
them. A projectile falling in their vi
cinity would be likely to burn them
down, and it is necessary to provide
structure capable of standing the
tremendous blast and jar of a heavy
gun fire. The experts now have three
new experimental houses. One of these
has thin concrete walls, another is
built of corrugated steel, while the
third is wooden structure covered
with galvanized fiat iron. Metal used
in such construction at a coast fort
which would naturally be the target

THREE SHIPLOADS THROUGH BLACK SEA
FOREIGN BUSINESS IN AGRIcUL
TURAL MACHINERY is
RAPIDLY GROWING,

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Record-
breaking exports of American agri-
cultural machinery will be made to
Russia this season. Three complete
shiploads are to be forwarded to Black
Sea ports within the next few weeks
and consignments will be made in
other vessels to the same part of the
world. which will bring up the total ag-
gregate of the cargoes to more than
10000 tons, representing a value O.
fully s2,5OO,0OO.
The foreign business in agricultural
machinery is rapidly growing, par
ticularly with Russia, where Ameri-
can manufactures of this description
show an increasing popularity, mainly
owing to the fact that the machinery
suits local conditions and is of extreme
lightness, which permits of better
transportation than European makes,
In fact, wherever they are introduced.
American agricultural machines Quick
~ supersede everything turned out by
foreign competitors. The question of
price is not considered by the average
buyer abroad, farming machinery
made in the United States readily COM
handing a higher figure than the pro-
ducts of British and German factories.

MATTER DISCUSSED BY ARMY OFFICERS
MAY ABOLISH PRESENT DEDUc-
TON FROM PAY OF ACTIVE
AND RETIRED SOLDIER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. "a
There has been much discussion lately
notably the inspector general of the
army, in favor of having the govern
ment support entirely the Soldiers
Home in the District of Columbia, for
the maintenance of which there is now
a large sum in the National treasury
as a result of the deduction of twelve
of all soldiers, active and retired, of
the United States army 1t was urged
that this deduction be discontinued on
the ground that the fund has increased
to such an extent that it was bearing
interest amounting to more than $780,
600 year, and that the soldiers
might we'll be spared further compul-
sorry contributions for this purpose.
The board of commissioners for the
e1O4Nioio I1oIHe however, expressed
itself opposed to any such change in
the law, although it had already rec
commended that the deduction no long
er apply to retired soldiers who under
the law are ont entitled to the benefits
OF the home, admission which is
limited to those who have been honor
ably discharged from the military SER
vice. to which class, of course, soldiers
on the retired list do not belong.

We are informed that nineteen thou
sand persons were in the company's
service at the end of 1905 If one adult
breadwinner represents five individu
ais in the total population, we must
conclude that nearly a hundred thou
sand persons draw subsistence from
this institution-not in insurance bene-
fits, but in direct payment for service
to the company.
This army of nineteen thousand EN-
ployees evidently includes no drones
During the year just closed it handled
million dollars in new business alone
The company issued on the average
nearly seven thousand new policies
every business day during the same
twelve months.
A single item which illustrates
graphically the real meaning and pur.
pose Of all this tremendous business
is that relating to insurance claims
paid during the year. These amounted
to more than $4,000, 900 This means
that someone received from the Metro
politan Life in benefits one hundred
and six dollars every minute of every
business day of eight hours through
out the year.
Again, the uncertainty of life and
health, and the universal need of life
insurance are most impressively en-
policies paid within the year had beer
in force less than twelve months; and
that 1926 of these policies were pai6
in less than three months from the
time they were issued.
The Metropolitan Life began the
year 1906 With assets of more than
one hundred and fifty million dollars
showing an increase of more thar
twenty-five million dollars over the
preceding twelve months This evil
dence of ample and increasing strength
is a most satisfactory thing for pol
icy-holders to contemplate, and it is
further cause for satisfaction that the
largest years business in the COM
pany's history was transacted at a
lower ratio of expense than has ever
been reached in previous years.
The company directs particular at
tention to the fact that it does not
issue Tontine, or deferred dividend
policies, nor an form Of contract
which fails to specify in exact terms

what the insured is to pay in premiums
and what he is to receive in benefits
That the simplicity of it's contract
agreements is popular feature will
not be questioned in the light of the
facts noted above.
Many items in the company's sum-
mary have not been touched upon fol
lack of space, but the document it
self will be widely circulated, and ones

SOME INTERESTING READING.
Living Figures in the Annual State
ment of the Metropolitan

The yearly compilation Of statistics
published by the Metropolitan Life In
surance company is never dry reading.
A summary of that company's business
for the year 1905, just issued, tabu-
lates astounding figures in the concise
manner approved by Accountants, and
following the custom of former years.
supplements them with a clear and
lucid analysis for the benefit Of the
people who are not accountants.
Few persons are sufficiently familiar
with great financial operations to grasp
Immediately the full significance of
a balance sheet in which totals and
grand totals are expressed in hun
dreds Of millions, but the purpose OF
a Life Insurance statement Is doubt
less to inform and enlighten it's null
titude of policy-holders, and this pur-
pose the Metropolitan management
accomplishes with signal success. Fol-
lowing closely upon a period of agita-
l1On In the lie insurance uelO SUCH d
statement is timely and especially in
teresting
After placing before US comprehen-
sive statement of the company's gen.
eral condition, and presenting series
of comparative items, the Metropolitan
reminds us again that the number of
it's policy-holders (now increased to
more than eight and one-half million)
equals the combined population Of our
eight largest cities. In other words,
if the company's policies now in force
were all placed in New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, ST. Louis, CIeve-
land, Cincinnati and Milwaukee, every
man, woman and child in these COM
munities would possess one.
Men now living remember when the
whole United States could hardly have
supplied sa vast number Of insurable
persons Even at this day there are
twenty -four states and territories
whose combined population does not
equal the number Of people carrying
insurance in this one great company.

phasized the point that mo ordinary

Carmack day in Dyerburs, and it was
a record breaker. No rolltical speech
was ever delivered in tbs county that
equaled his mastery three-hour eff
fort either in point of eloquence or
effectiveness, and no such enthusiasm
was ever inspired here in any audi
ence. Scots skating rink, the largest
auditorium in the city, had been fitted
up for the speaker, but it was entire
w inadequate to hold one half the
tremendous crowd that came to hear
the speaker of the day, and Mr. Car
mack was compelled after speaking
three hours to an. audience of 1000, to
go to the courtyard and address the
still greater crowds that could not
get entrance into the rink.

Some time this morning between
midnight and day the pOstofftct a
Carriers Creek was entered by rob-
bers and the safe containing the mon
ey and stamps belonging to the Uni

longing to Postmaster Jim Will Jones,
was either blown open or beaten open
by the use of hammers and crowbars.
The robbers found in the safe about
$4,000 in money and stamps, all of
which they took The general opin-
ion is that the robbery was committed
by negroes living in the Carter S
Creek mines. Two hammers, a pick
and a crow bar, belonging to the
mines were found in the building.
Deputy Sheriff Goad and United
