Rev. j q Stevenson IS ministry at Union
Church Mr. Bernard Roth and his wife
she was a daughter of John Bright-have
always been the centre of wide circle Of
friends. and the terrible death of their son
will ho a great shock to them. IL is all
the sadder because they had been expect

ohIeago Ii q crIme centra.

Official figures go far to show that Chi
cago is the crime centre OF this country,
II not of the entire world. Particularly
is this true in respect of the crime of
murder.
In the past six years 705 murders were
committed in Chicago, and since 1901
the annual number of murders there has
doubled. The murder rate of Chicago
is eight times that of London. and vet
London has population throe-fold that
of Chicago.
With 705 murders in six years. there
have been only eight legal executions for
this crime in Chicago during the same
period. Does not this discrepancy afford
the true reason for the alarming preva-
lence of the crime
There is reason to believe that an exccu-
tion for each crime would soon reduce
the number of murders in Chicago.

Indianapolis, April 27.-A dispatch
from Chicago reaffirms the story print
ed several days ago to the effect THAI
insurance rates would be raised gen
orally on mercantile and special haz-
ard risks. A meeting of all the man
ayers of the union companies in Chi
cago was held yesterday, at which the
program, as prepared by the govern
ing committee the day before, was
discussed. A committee Cf five will
be appointed to represent the West at
a meeting to be held in New York
this week, to decide on a uniform
course of action. 1t is stated thai
the burden of the advance will be on
congested districts, where eonflagra-
ton hazard is serious, and on few
VIGOROUSLY Improbable risks.
In connection with this it is inter
esting to note that the fire insuI ance
rates of Kansas City were reduced II
per cent. to-day, according to dis
patches. This is due to the fact that
the city has entirely remodeled the
waterworks there, and has no connec.
ton with the San Francisco trouble
of course.

Indianapolis, April FIT is not like
~ any selection of textbooks will be
made by the State Board of Education
at the meeting now in session at the
State House. Fifty-one different
books have been submitted to the
board by pubiishing-houses that wish
the contracts for furnishing books to
the schools of Indiana, and the mem
bers of the board have had all of chen,
under consideration ever since they
met here few weeks ago. The
members have studied the books care
fully, and when they came together
for the meeting this week they were
prepared to narrow down the list by
a process of elimination until they
could find those that came nearest to
meeting the requirements. When the
board adjourns the list of books re-
naming in each class will not be more
than three or four. The rest will
have been discarded. Then the mem
bers of the board will again go home
and take a couple of weeks to go
over these books, so that when they
meet again they will be able to select
the books they wish. This is the
same method that has been followed
heretofore in selecting schoolbookA

Cincinnati, April 27.-Price Current
says: There has been fair advance
ment in vegetation in the central reg
ions, and important progress in seed
ing and blowing operations. With
the temperature on two or three morn
lngs down to the freezing point there
appears little indication of injury from
such conditions. The season is yet
backward, not only in the central re-
gions but no~thward. However it is
not one OF encouragement. The
ground is working well in preparation
for corn planting, and there are eS-
peetations of a full acreage in this
crop, partly because of unfavorable-
ness attending the seeding of oats, by
which some curtailment in area is ap-
parent. The pasture and grass lands
are generally in good condition but
late, now shaping favorably. There
are continued complaints of losses of
spring pigs as result of the unfavor-
able weather conditions of March.
Generally speaking, live stock is in
good health and condition for the
time of the year. The seeding of
spring wheat in the Northwest has
been favorably advanced, and the con
ditions attending the start of this crop
in most of the area is favorable, with
evidences of increased acreage. With
the encouraging position of winter
wheat the present outlook for this
grain is nearly all that could be asked
