Look for Rate War.

The union men especially are not
looking for a rate war and sooner
than have one on hand they decided

were compelled to stand by the old
rate and We're unable to adopt the

The horns on the Dean schedule
are not so large as the non-union men
see them. AT close range they COM
pare favorably with Simonson' s
schedule which is principally used
in this district, although the Dean
schedule has been tried on the frame
buildings in Whiting. The differ
ence between the Dean and Simonson
schedules in Whiting are slight.
The Dean schedule is in use
throughout every state comprised BY

eepting the states of Wisconsin and

fore Wisconsin now and may be
adopted in the near future. It is of
course, only a matter of a short time

What the state board will do in
the matter will have to be seen.
Michigan City was advised of the
recent advance but refused to adopt
it. The board then permitted the
writing under the old rate.
At Decatur the local agents have
decided to collect the advance rates.
Elkhart has been rerated under the
Dean schedule.
At Fort Wayne the local agents
have agreed to collect the advanced
rates recently promulgated.
At South Bend Inspector Kelly
has instructed the agents to collect
the advance rates. No trouble is ex-
pected.
At Hammond, Whiting, East Chi
cago and Indiana Harbor the union
insurance agents are forced to keep
up the old rate and refuse the adop-
tion of the Dean schedule because of
strong oposition by the non-union
companies.

M'COY CASE COMPROMISED.
Daughter Drops Claim Against Estate
and Trustee Ceases Prosecution.

The claim that Matte Rinehart
had filed against her father, Alfred
Mccoy, was before Referee Bowers
last Monday, but was compromised
before it was heard. The compro-
mise was to the effect that Mrs. Rine-
hart drop her claims and that J. H.
Chapman, trustee, would desist from
prosecution on accoun of the i'm
provement made by Alfred Mccoy
on the land which his daughter
claimed rent aggregating over s22.-
600.
It was the understanding that he
pay her rent, which, however, he
failed to do. The trustee main
tanned. that the father had improved
the land given to his daughter by
building MeCoysburg on it. 1t is
probable that had Matte Mccoy
gained her claim or part of it. it
would have turned a strong senti-
ment against her at Rensselaer,.
Referee John o. Bowers will issue a
notice of compromise to the creditors.

Fred s. Broberg of Monmouth,
who is known in this city, commit,
suicide yesterday by shooting himself
while in rowboat in the middle of
Lake Calumet. Broberg was a prom
inent commission broker in Mon
moth and is said to have come to
his sorrow because he guessed badly
at the grain market. The young
man had charge of the market wires
of the Celia Commission company of
st. Louis. In the course of his work
it was his duty to take such trades
as were offered and wire them to Gel
10. Broberg took the deal himself
and failed to wire several large
trades to his firm. There was a
slump in The market and Broberg
found himself facing a $4,000 loss.
The body was found by two boys
who noticed a man lying in the bot
tom of the boat with an arm and a
leg in the water.

BRAIN AND LIMBS WORK
Crossings to Run, Fares to Collect,
Bosses to Satisfy and Toughs
to Lick.

The recent death of a street car
conductor while in the performance
of his duty has called the attention
of the public to the fact that his task
is anything but an easy one. One
Sunday night trip by the uninitiated
would be equal to a whole days
work and yet the average conductor
is supposed to make ten of them
day.
Pick up the lantern as the car
leaves the four corners at Hammond
and make the trip to Gard street as
transfer punchers substitute and
something of an idea of his onerous
task will be received.
1t looks easy. Nothing to do but
collect fares, run crossings and
ding or "ding-ding as the occa-
sion requires will sum up the con-
ductor's duties. But try it for a
while and see how it goes. There is
the Holman street crossing. The
lives of hundred passengers are in
your hands, and the rules require
that you shall run forward and sig
nal to the motornaan that the road
Is clear This Is done and you be-
gin the task Of collecting fares. You
get half way through the car when
the man who got bad quarter from
the fruit dealer sees that you are too
busy to pay much attention to the
kind of money you receive, and as he
does not happen to be a collector of
counterfeit coins, he kindly permits
you to have the custody of the value
less 25-cent piece and you discover
when you settle up with the COM
pany at night that a quarter will be
deducted from your salary next pay
day.
