DIES MONIES, April 2t-tspecial)--
Four OF the Ave members Of the iegisla-
ture appointed to investigate the insur-
anee companies OF Iowa arrived in tho
city today and organized for the work
Those who are here are: Senator j. H.
Jamison OF osceola, Senator John l..
Bleakly OF Ida Grove, Representative N.
T. Kendall OF Abba, Representative y.
f. Jones Of Villisca Owing to sickness
Representative Tim c. Clary OF New
Hampton was unable to be present today,
but the commission organised without
him and II 10 Understood that he will
likely be able to be present when the
commission meets again to begin work.
Nothing was attempted today beyond or
ganiEing and discussing in an informal
way some OF the methods OF work.
Senator Jamison was elected chairman OF
the commission.
According to the bill as IL passed the
legislature the commission is to invest-
gate the insurance laws and recommend
any needed changes, all insurance propo-
sitions such as annual dividends, uniform
policy. and such measures will be dis
cussed and measures also for preventing
unwise investments on the part of both
hre and life insurance companies. II is
not thought that the commission Will
subpoena witnesses and make any in
vestigation of the Individual companies
with hearings. The intention Is to study
the present laws and secure the facts rs
to the management of the companies
from the auditors ONCE. The commits
sion, however, has authority to subpoena
witnesses, books and papers and take
testimony under oath IL It sees IT.
The commission elected c. S. Byrket,
aw.danfaNv of of Daa
Moines, secretary. 1t outlined work for
him to do In gathering information, books
and papers, and adjourned to meet at the
call of the chairman when this work has
been done, which will be in about two
weeks.

Reason Given ny Water Company
for Not Putting In
Hydrants.

The defense concluded It's testimony
Thursday morning in the case of the
Omaha Water Company against the City
of Omaha in the suit for nydrant rentals
in the United States circuit court The
only witnesses examined Thursday morn
ing were Secretary KoenIg of the water
company, who was recalled for a brief
redirect examination, and Circuit Court
Clerk Thummel TO identity certain records
of the circuit court relative 70 former pro-
ceedinss between the water company and
the city.
The general contention o. the water COM
pany was that the order ror placing addi-
tional hydrants was ignored because there
was TO money in the city water fund
TO pay for them and that the city. had no
legal right to order additional hydrants
for that reason.
The court held that this was immaterial
if the city was acting within its legs
rights and that it should DC shown that
/ the city had no legal right.
! Former City Attorney Wright stated that
| July l. 1904, the city had balance OF
about 5000 in that funo and that on No
vember / there was $4,000 on hand, anC
that no levy was made for that reason
/ that year.
The remainder of the day was devoted
/ the introduction OF rebuttal evidence, and
/ It now begins to look as If the case may
reach the jury by Saturday.

SALE or CIGARS INCREASES
Due to Prosperity and Passage of
Law Against Use of
Cigarettes.

The number OF cigars manufactured in
Omaha shows a large increase for last year
over the previous year, and this is ac-
counted for in two ways, first by the pros
perity OF the people. who can better AFFORD
to smoke cigars, and by the law which
has shut, of the sale OF cigarettes. Ac-
cording to the manufacturers and deal
ers. the sale OF all cigars has increased
just as fast as the sale Of home made
cigars, and is taken as a good reflex OF
the prosperous condition OF the state.
The following is comparative state
ment OF the tobacco used and the cigars
manufactured in the collection district OF
Nebraska during the calender years 1901
and 1905. 1t shows an increase OF 100.
600 cigars for the year 1905.
The tobacco used in 1904 was ia1, 90;
pounds and the cigars made 25.6S1.sO4. and
in 1905 52s,sH pounds were used and 27.s1s,.

doctors in the East and spent time and
money endeavoring 10 secure some res
pectable degree Of health. Finally we came
to Colorado, az we thought the climate
would do us some good In this We were
disappointed, and was on the verge of
returning East when my attention was
attracted TO Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
Personally / had not used liquor In any
form, but so much IL said, in behalf Of
your whiskey, when used az medicine,
I determined to give up doctors and take
