Ing on Securing Of Deposits.
Des Moines, Ia.--Attorney General
Mullan has decided that bank deposits
can not be the subject Of insurance
in Iowa and the banks can not take
and hold stock of an insurance com
pany organized for the purpose Of in
suhng bank deposits, carrying such
stocli as part Of their assets.
Inquiries on these points were sub
mitted to the attorney general by
Auditor Of State Carroll, application
for authority TO organize a company
to insure bank deposits having been
iled with him BY a Sicax county man.
Attorney General Mullan holds that
the legislature OF Iowa has clearly de-
fined the kind and character OF risks
upon which insurance may be written,
The effect Of the act Of the Legislature
is to prohibit insurance being written
in this state upon any risks other than
such as are defined and permitted by
statute as subject 10 insurance.
The attorney general says: Under
a familiar rule Of law the naming Of
the character OF risks that may bo
insured against excludes all others. AS
no authority Is found in the statute for
the insurance of bank deposits. 1t fol-
lows that such risks were excluded by
the lawmaking power Of the state and
that no insurance company authorized
to transact business wider the laws OF
this state is authorized under our
statute to enter into a contract Of In
surance Of that character.
Bank deposits arc moi, therefore,
the subject OF Insurance under the
laws OF Iowa"

How to Sleep in q Blanket.

There are great many very COM
petent treatises telling you how to
build your fire, pitch your tent, and
all the rest OF it. l have never seen
described the woodmen's method OF
using a blanket however. Lie flat
on your back. Spread the blanket
over you. Now raise your legs rigid
from the hips, the blanket of course,
draping over them. In two swift
motions tuck first one edge under
your legs from right to left; then the
second edge under from left to right,
and over the first edge. Lower your
legs, wrap up your shoulders, and
go to sleep. If you roll over one
edge will unwind but the other will
tighten.-The Outing Magazine.

At the Theater
"a Family Affair"

A large and representative au-
dience greeted the presentation, by
local company under the direction
of Mr.. VIM. B. Switzer, of the come
dy entitled "A Family Affair."" at
the Auditorium on Tuesday evening.
The house was well warmed, the mu-
sic, furnished by the Chelan Mando-
lin orchestra superb, and everything
lovely when the curtain went up, re-
vealing first of ali the wonderful
transformation which has been
wrought out in the past few weeks
in the scenery and stage settings of
the playhouse through the skilled
work of Messrs. Switzer and Young.
It was very fine indeed and certainly
creditable to those two energetic
workers If the same work had been
done in Seattle it would have cost
at least. calculation $3.50.
The Leader regrets that owing to
lack of space it cannot give more
extended writeup of the play itself
for it was certainly all that has been
promised in print-and more-and
the audience was kept in a roar of
laughter and applause from start to
finish. Everyone carried his or her
part SO perfectly that there was moth
ing poor about it and comparisons
would be invidious. Those who took
part in it were: Mr.. and Mrs. VIM B.
Switzer, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Young,
Mr.. VIM. Emerson, Mr.. Newton

Field and Master Chas. Emerson. Mr..
Myrl j. Higley also added to the
by song, When the Whippoorwill
Sings, Marguerite. Many dollar
is parted from in the cities for very
much poorer shows than this one
handed out by superior local talent,
of which the Leader has overheard
many EXPLANATIONS of praise.
The gross receipts were $S5.75.
In few weeks Mr. Switzer will
stage the play, Ten Nights in
Barroom," and it is safe to promise
that he will lhave full house-The

AFTER PAPER TRUST
Rise in the Price of Paper Causes
Another Investigation by the
Federal Government.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Once
more the paper combinations Of the
country are being placed upon the
grill by the federal government The
judiciary committee of the house re-
ports favorably on the resolution Of
Representative Williams, directing
the commissioner of corporations to
make a thorough investigation of the
concerns, the General Paper COM
pany of Chicago, which was a SELL
ing corporation, organized under the
laws of the state of Illinois and which
owned mills scattered among ILL
nois and other paper making states
OF the west, was dissolved some
months ago as result of judicial
proceedings instituted in Minnesota.
The institution Of the suit was fol-
lowed by a reduction of the price of
paper to newspapers by thirty per
cent. Now the department OF justice
has been informed that the price OF
paper has gone up again and that q
combination Or association has been
organized which takes the place OF
the trust which was declared unlaw-
full. In this connection attention is
called to the report of the incorpora-
ton of the Kimberly-Clark company

cides what disposition to make of
him. Prosecuting Attorney Mackin-
tosh and the ether lawyers associat-
cd with him in prosecuting are great
ly disappointed at the result as they
have worked hard and believed that
they had established the fact that
the defendant is sane.
The father of the defendant and
those who were associated with him
in the defense of his son expressed
themselves as satisfied with the YER
dict as they have been under the
impression that the verdict would
not be guilty. Such is the verdict
that the father, asked the jury to
bring in in closing his address to
the twelve men and in asking for his
promise to send the defendant i'm
mediately to an asylum. He stated
tonight that this is what he will do,
the statement being made without
reference to what the Judge might
decide to do.
It is possible that Judge Smell will,
in the absence of any asylum for the
criminal insane, send the defendant
to the penitentiary at Walla Walla.
That it was the eloquent and pit
eous appeal for his sons life made
by Will H. Thompson that resulted
in the verdict is the generally ac-
cepted opinion of those who have
watched the progress of the case.
History of the Crime.
Chester Thompson shot former
Judge George Meade Emory on the
night of July last while his victim
was sitting on his own doorstep sur
rounded by his wife and two friends,
William Keith and Mrs. Keith. The
defense has been that the young
man vas insane because of his love
for Charlotte Whittlesey, niece Of
Emory. and that he believed her to
be imprisoned in the Emory home
and went to rescue her A change
of venue from King county resulted
in the case being set for trial before

! INSPECTOR
Told Story at Depot Last,
Night America Grandest
Country in World.

Nine. Schumann-Heink, the great OPP
cratic singer who has been playing
in Winnipeg, stopped by an immigra-
ton inspector!
Such was the feat attempted by an
Overzealous Canadian official Tuesday
at Winnipeg, as related by the famous
star, herself, last evening to an Even
ing Times representative at the Great
Northern depot. Nine. Schumann-
Heink was enrOute to Duluth, where
she Is on the boards tonight. and was
located by the representative of the
press as she changed luggage into
the Duluth sleeper.
The wonderful German lady told of
the anndhilation of the questioner of
her rights to leave her country as
she chose.
The story in itself is one to pro-
woke mirth. but told with the grand
Eloquent grand opera gestures which
the greatest contralto employs in re-
latfng it. and with the most delicious
German-English that one ever Mten-
ed to, the episode looms into the
realm of real comedy.
when we were leaving Winnipeg"
rolled out the deep, motherly, groli-
GUS conversation, "at the depot there
were many ladies to see US away.
They brought me flowers and were
shaking me by the hand and we were
having a nice time, when a little man
with much paper and pencil before
him, hurry to me and say, Nine.
Heink, what country did you come
from and where are you going?"
"Och Gott," continued Nine. Schu-
mann-Heinks at memory of the insult.
II draw me up and say loud to him,
I am an American citizen, and he
ran down the station and away"
When the sonorous roll of that II
am an American citizen" is once
heard. one didn't wonder that the lit
tie Canadian official ram Few born
on-the-soil Americans can summons
the grand and glorious pride of coun-
try that this same world known artist
can get in her adopted country.
There is no place like it. Europe
may do to live in three months, six
months or perhaps year. but Amer
lea the rest of the time. And New
York us not America. America be-
gins at Chicago and 1t is here" said
Nine. Heink, indicating the precise
spot, "and then it goes out on the
prairies away off to California. That
is America. There is no place like
1t. Here all one has to do is to do
right and in whatever station in life
one is, he has the respect of every
one. In Europe it is not so. Station
and birth count too much. And an
American never tells lie," said Nine.
