TO S|FT INSURANCE
IOWA SENATE RESOLUTION Is
TAKEN UP.
CARROLL CALLED TO STAND
State Auditor Declares Statements
Are Partly True-Question of
Risk Probe Is Submitted to
Committee to Decide.

(Russell Woodland, Staff Correspondent
Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 5.-The senate
committee on insurance has begun
work in deadly earnest on the charges
made by Senator Molsberry against
certain life insurance companies. At a
committee meeting a subcommittee
consisting of Senator's Whipple, Court
right. Stuckslager, Maytag and Wade,
was appointed to consider the neces
sity for an investigation.
State Auditor Carroll was called be-
fore the committee and asked about
charges made by Molsberry. He stated
that some of the irregularities charged
in Molsberry's address to the senate
existed, but said the companies had
been required to remedy them and had
promised to do SO, and in some cases
the changes required had been made.
A prominent member of the commit
tee said:
The committee intends to give the
matter thorough consideration, and if
it is decided that additional investiga-
ton is necessary either the Molsberry
resolution or the Warren bill will be
reported for passage. If the commit
tee finds the companies are obeying
the suggestions of the state auditor,
and that no new investigation is
needed, the committee will make a
full report of the findings in the case,
and the reasons for them, and have it
go on record, SO that the public may
understand the situation thoroughly u

DENMARk's DEAD MONARCH.
Memorial Services Over Remains of
Late King-Ceremony Is Strict
" Private.

Copenhagen, Feb. 6.-There was an
impressive memorial service over the
body of King Christian in the Gar
den" room of the palace Sunday night.
All the members of the royal family
were present, but otherwise the cere-
mony was strictly private. Early in
the day representative of the press
was permitted to visit the "Garaen"
room. 1t is called the Garden Shoal"
because the windows open on the beau
tiful palace gardens. A striking feature
of the lying in state of the monarch is
its extreme simplicity and the album
dant evidence of the loving reverence
of the members of the royal family
who spend most of their time in the
room arranging the flowers and dispos-
ing of newly arriving wreaths and
floral designs. Tive sentries of the
footguard, wearing old fashioned bus
bies, stand at the door. The only oc-
cupants of the room at the time of the
correspondents visit were the kings
four personal adjutants and lackey,
who will remain on duty beside the
coffin until it is removed to it's last
resting place within the grey walls of
Roskilde. The coffin lies in the middle
OF the room, before the gaze of the
Danish kings and queens, whose pic
lures line the red tapestried walls. 1t
is covered with two Danish flags and
lies amid banks of the rarest flowers
and surrounded by wreaths, lilies, pink
and white roses, violets, lilies of the
valley and carnations.

Proceedings Taken by Federal
Court at Kansas City.

Kansas City. Mo, Feb. 3.-The Bur-

ager, George H. Cosgrove, and Freight
Broker George L. Thomas, replying to
indictments returned against them in
the federal court, have filed motions
to quash the entire proceedings. The
Burlington has been indicted on seven
counts. 1t made seven answers, all of
them identical in text, and demurring
on the grounds that the allegations
contained in the criminal suit brought
against the railroad were insufficient.
In the instance of Thomas, the freight
broker who is alleged to have had a
deal on with the Burlington, his
clerk, Taggart, and Cosgrove, the Bur-
lington's freight manager, motions 10
quash were also fled These rail-
road cases cannot now come up until

NEW sNAKE-BITE ANTIDoTE
Pernanganate of Potash Experiments
ed With in India with Good
Success.

so often has the discovery of some
alleged infallible cure for snake bite
been announced that it will be prudent
to adopt skeptical attitude toward
the new claim put forward in the In
dian Medical Gazette. But facts OF
great weight are in evidence, states
London report, which certainly ius-
tlfy further and more exhaustive in
vestigation. At the Royal Society
meeting last year a paper bearing the
names OF such eminent authorities as
Sir L. Brunton, Sir j. Fayrer and DR..
Rogers spoke favorably of immediate
treatment with permanganate of po-
tassium. Acting on this suggestion
DIR. Rogers at once initiated a success
sion OF practical experiments, and
now reports the results, in a dozen
cases. In two instances the drug
failed to neutralize the fatal poison,
but many hours had elapsed before it
was applied. But nine of the victims
recovered, and as five had been bitten
by cobras and two by Russells vipers
an equally deadly snake-their iden-
tity was proved on capture and death
lit certainly looks as if the perman-
ganate does operate as an antidote il
used quickly. The drug has the addi-
tional merit of being very cheap and
accessible. while the only process re-
quired is to make an incision over the
bite, ligature having been previously
applied to prevent the poison from
spreading and to rub in the cure with
the fingers. A more scientific method
is to use special lancet.

Primary Fight on in Earnest.

The senate committee on elections
has reported out the Crossley primary
bill, and now the upper house is CO.
ping with the measure in a fight which
promises to make history for the state
of Iowa. The measure has been made
a Special order for an early date.
There is wide divergence of opin-
ion in the senate, and it is looked
upon as certain that the bill will be
literally sprinkled with amendments,
because of this variance of beliefs.
The railroad lobby put in its appear
ance as a sort of herald for the COM
ing out of the bill, and the fight which
the corporation lawyers will put up
is regarded as feature of the con-
test. Senator Lewis, chairman of the
senate committee on elections, is
known to favor primary bill, and his
views have been embodied somewhat
in the bill as it was sent from COM
mittee. The fight is SO close that
mere floor debates may bring success
or failure.

VOICE OF THE RHlhocERos
Sound So Tremendous It Seems to
Set the Whole World to
Trembling.

In the course of year saw more
than 600 rhinoceroses and the tracks
of thousands, writes G. B. Shilling in
Worlds Work. The sight of these
gigantic beasts standing in the moon
shine on the snow-white steppes is still
vivid in my memory. i have never,
encountered more than four at one
time, though have seen as many as
eight together.
Their appearance when in sitting
posture is very like the stump Of a
tree. While resting the rhinoceros Oft
en- resigns himself to his feathered
friends who alight upon his body and
serve the double purpose of freeing his
skin from parasites and giving warming
of danger 1t is a case of partnership
between an animal with keen sense
of smell and birds with keen eyes.
The horns of the African rhinoceros
sometimes attain a length of nearly
five feet, and when he lifts up his
voice the whole world seems to trem-
BILE. The sound is SO tremendous that
the effect is startling in the extreme.
