POISONED.
Stomach of Man in Breathitt to
be Examined.

We clip the following from Sun
days Lexington Herald:
The stomach of Elem Tharp,
who died from poisoning at his
home seven miles above Jackson
on the Kentucky river, in Breathitt
county, was brought%to Lexington
Saturday by County Judge Taulbee
of Jackson, andsDr. G. Centers, of
Hazel Green, KY. to be analysed
for the purpose of ascertaining
what kind of poison caused his
death. The stomach was taken to
the Kentucky Experimental Sta
ton and will be examined by DR..
Alfred M. Peter, early this week.
Dr. Centers, who had charge of
the body, said that the officials of
Breathitt county are confident that
Tharp was poisoned, but at this
time they are unwilling to divulgs
GU what they base suspicion. De-
termination of what kind of pois
on causing death will have impor-
tant bearing on the case. Symp-
toms indicated strychnine.
Tharp had been suffering for
several dhys with a severe cold
and had been taking quinine. he
was moving his household effects.
Feeling i'll at night he took large
dose from the quinine bottle. He
Immediately became Ill and died in
half an hour, before doctor could
be called.
1t is believed that Tharp was
Intentionally killed by some I'M
known party, who surreptitiously
replaced the.quinine with strych-
nine.

In the interest Of the People.


On last sday, February l,
Insurance Commissioners of 80
States, six Governors and one
Lieutenant Governor met in Chi
cago for the purpose of agreeing
on some plan by which uniform
laws may be enacted TOR the regu-
latiOn of insurance companies,
compelling them to deal uniformly
AID justly with the people. The
result of the conference was the
appointment of committee of
fifteen, of which H. r. Prewitt is a
mem Der, and they will draft
measures and will report at an
adjourned meeting of the National
Insurance Convention of commit
teemen in Washington, d c., next
September. This move on the
part of the Insurance Commission
ers has become national and is
meeting with the hearty approval
OF the President Mr.. Prewitt
went before the Kentucky Senate,
stated his plans, and that body
sent with him to Chicago Lieu
tenant Governor Thorne and Sena.
tors Newman, Phelps, Campbell
and Spence and similar state
ment to the House gave to him
their support, and named Repre-.
sentatives Byland and Claybrook
as committee from this body.
This act on the part of the Leg
lature was a high compliment to
Mr.. Prewitt. Governor Beckham
honored the movement OF Mr..
Prewitt with his presence and in
fluence, and was present at the
OnlcagO meeblng'
The Governor, like President
Roosevelt, is in perfect accord
with the movement.
The people may be sure that
their interests with the insurance
companies will be protected and
that heneforward they will be
dealt with squarely and that the
insurance rate Of one State will be
identical with that of other States.
Heretofore insurance companies
have had their way about all mat
te-s, but henceforth the States
through their commissioners will
receive correct dealings.
