The Proportion.

Many of the immensely wealthy
insurance companies, that suffer
ed losses in California will pay up
and recoup much of the loss in a
few years. It will be a notable
test and advertisement of such
companies. The companies with
risks in California suffered only
in proportion to their business,
and it is hoped all will pay up.
1t is unfortunate that. stock job
bers should try to use this great
calamity in their dealings.
Southern Companies, that had no
risks outside of the South, of
course will not be affected.
In this and adjoining States,
The Mississippi Home Insurance
Company is one of the favorites.

in which he says, in part:
Wherever you have wandered
into whatever lands or climes you

authority summoned back to the
proud old State that gave
birth to you or to your forefathers
The old dinner horn that in days

meal had been taken down from
the wall and there issues from its
sonorous and hospitable mouth a
trumpet call reaching the re-
motest corners of the earth and
breathing into the ear of every

and irresistible appeal that he
drop all else and forthwith begin
his pilgrimage back to his native
heath. A joyous welcome awaits
you. As the genial sun Of spring
warns into life the beauties of
nature, so will the kindly glances
and friendly grasps cf your old

FRISCO TO ABSORB
THE M. ]. ]. & K. C.
Fine TideWater Terminals 10 Be Secured
By The Reported Deal---C Closing
Gap Near POntOtOc.

A special from Memphis is tc
the effect that it is understood on
good authority that the Frisco
system has completed arrange
ments for taking over the Mobile,
Jackson & Kansas City Railroad
line running from Mobile due
north through Mississippi to Mid
dleton, Tenn.
Some time ago it was rumored
that this road eventually would
be merged into the larger sys-
tenn, as it would be advantageous
to the Frisco interests in this
section. 1t is understood that
party of Frisco officials made an
inspection trip over the M. j. &c
K. G. about a month ago with a
view to its annexation.
This road has the best tide
water terminals at Mobile of any
road on the gulf coast. Mobile
being an important fruit port,
this line will have a fairly good
grip on this commodity out of
that city. 1t connects with the
New Orleans C Northeastern at
Hatttesburg, EIlisville and Lau-
rel. with the Southern at New
man, Mathison, and with the
Frisco at New Albany.
An incomplete gap is being
closed below Pontotoc, Miss,
and trains will soon be running
from Middleton to Mobile. The
proposed extension from Middle
ton to Jackson, Tenn, will then
be taken up and pushed to COM
pletion. The road passes through
undeveloped territory that is
rich in forest and agricultural
products. It will provide a |
short haul from Mobile to Mem
phis.

INSURANCE WILL ALL
Be PAID QUICKLY
Understanding Has Been Reached Between
Underwriters Adjustment Bureau
sn5 the Committee.

A special from San Francisco
says: An understanding as to
what the insurance companies
propose to do has been obtained
by the sub committee OF the com
mittee on insurance at meeting
with committees from the un-
ferwriters' adjustment bureau.
The statement there made was.
in brief, that the insurance COM
panies would treat policy holders
fairly; that no attempt would be
made to take advantage of mere
quibbles or technicalities; that
loss on buildings destroyed by
fire would be paid as soon as
adjusted, and that the ad-
justment of losses would proceed
as rapidly as possible. The in
surance in the burned district is
estimated by the underwriters
at 5000, 100000.
When the tax rate of San Fran
cisco tor the fiscal year 1906-7 ia
finally fixed, the figure may be
50 90 on the hundred dollars of
valuation. Assessor Dodge has
made out the following report,
covering the situation from his
point of view:
Last years assessment roll
was about 1928. 900, 900, made up
as follows:
"Lqnds, 1904 100000; build
ing S97, 100000, personal proper
ty, St23, 100000.
"This years roll will. in my
as far as | am able to
Judge, show a decrease of be.
tween $3.50, 900, 900 and $780,
600, 900.
"Much of the personal proper
ty, amounting to SI22, 900, 600
has been destroyed ana ali re-
cords of its ownership and valua-
ton are also lost, not only for
this, but for previous years.

Senator German.

The greatest man the demo-
Gratis have had in the senate as
a dynamite force has been tina
remarkable man, Arthur Pue
German, Of Maryland. Entirely
self-made, he climbed to the
highest position except the presi-
dency. He has not only been 9
senator. but the leader of the
senate.
Senator German carried water
to the section hands on a railroad
as his first work for himself. He
earned every dollar be ever had,
and his bitterest enemies, and he
had many of them, never accused
him Of getting money dishonestly.
Had he ever done so, he could
not have concealed it. His ene-
mics would have proclaimed it.
They accused him Of all the po-
litical crimes, but never of theft
or graft.
Mr.. German made a great for
tune. He made investments in
the coal and iron districts of
Maryland and West Virginia,
and with Elkins ana the Davis
brothers he profited enormously
when those lands became valu-
able. Some of the land that he
bought for 81 an acre, is now
worth $1,000 an acre. So his
fortune grew. He has a large
family and has lived in the fierce
light of publicity. His life has
been known to all.
This man who has achieved
political success by his own ef-
forts and financial success by
his own efforts has finished his
course. Already official state
ments are made that he i5 not so
very i'll. That he IS not dying.
The public has come To accept
these statements as tho prscurs-
ors Of death. The country now
expects the death Of the great
democratic senator in few
weeks, if not in a few days.
1t has been many years since
Maryland produced his equal in
brains, or executive ability, and
Ma yland ha produced some
great men. Mr.. German is her
greatest son. - Birmingham Led
