!Sixty-Two Fire Companies in
Kansas Enjoined by
Courts.
COMPETITION is ABOLISHED

Prohibitive. Says Attorney
General.

TOPEKA, KAN. July 1s.--1niunc-
ton suits were filed in tho County
District Court here to- day by Attorney
General Jackson against siNty-tWo fire
insurance companies. charging them
with violation of the State antitrust
laws. The suits are based on Informal
ton furnished by Charles II. Barnes,
Superintendent of Insurance, and seek
TO prevent the companies from using
the Eldridge rating sheeting in writ
ing Kansas insurance Tho suits in-
volve every fire Insurance company
doing business In the State.
In his charges in an affidavit filed
by the Attorney General, Mr.. Barnes
says:
There Is in existence in the State
Of Kansas an unlawful arrangement,
trust and combination in restraint of
the business of fire insurance within
the State of Kansas. The defendants
are members of and participants in
such unlawful agreement trust and
combination.
BY means of such unlawful arrange
ment trust and combination, the cost
mad rate of insurance to the citizens
l&of Kansas is arbitrarily fixed at high
and eStortionate figures by one Charles
n. Eldridge, of Shawnee county, Kan
sas, who is a general agent or other
general functionary of some character
who. by common consent of the de-
PENDANTS and by certain unlawful ar
engagements. combination and agree
ment between them, is authorized and
permitted by the defendants to fix the
cost and rate of fire insurance"
Competition Abolished.
Mr.. Barnes alleges that competition
is almost totally abolished and the
rates and cost Of insurance fixed SO
high as to be prohibitive.
This is the same bureau which Webb
NcNal put out of business while he was
superintendent of insurance. 1t was
then known as the Clarkson bureau
Eldridge was clerk in the Clarkson
bureau at the time.

Death of Thos. o'Connor Is Sad
Blow to Many.
He DIED LIKE 4 HERO.
Faced Inevitable with Calmness and
BraverY-A Weli-spent Life.

Thomas O'Connor, was born Octo-
ber End, 1864, at State Center. Iowa.
the third son and fourth child of John
and Mary O'Connor. He was brought
to Crawford county from Ft. Dodge.
Iowa when his parents removed from
that city. with their family in March
1871. This county was then emerging
from condition of few scattered
pioneer settlers in the grove along the
creeks, to the development and break
ing up Of its rolling prairie into
farms everywhere. AT the early age
OF eight, young Thomas began assist
ing his parents in subduing the Stub
born prairie, and converting it into a
home. by planting of trees. herding of
cattle, and such work and labor as
could be performed by mere boy. Or
the site. and in the vicinity. of the
family homestead three miles east of
Denison. At the age of eleven years
he was. as it was then expressed, fol-
lowing team, phrase which will
be readily understood by the hundreds
OF gray haired men and women who
came to Crawford county at about that
time. He continued to perfrom that
hard work of a farm boy from this time
until he grew to manhood. doing the
work OF a man while he was even vet
a boy. When but little past his ma
jority, with the financial assistance of
his father. acquired his first farm so
acres of land, which he purchased
from Mr.. D. w. McWilliams, now of

At the age of 27 he was united in

May 4th 1891. at Denison. Iowa. To
this union seven Children We're born,
two of whom died in infancy. He
attended the public schools of his dis
trict from the time he came to the
county. during the winter terms, and
but occasionally during the spring
and fall terms. until he reached his
majority. While his school opportun-

heart and the conscience and the un..
derstanding rather than to the
aesthetic. He strives not for the
pleasant sound of well-set phrases.
but of the effect of poignant thought.
AS a man. citizen neighbor. he
has proven all that could be asked.
He is not one of the clergymen who
keep themselves in a cold storage of
self righteousness. One is drawn to
him by the feeling that there is man
as we'll as preacher. That he has
sympathy and kindliness and love, and
that they are as ready at hand for
those of the world as for those who
have been garuered into the fold.
Mrs. Bryce with her sweet and help
full ways. her fine courtesy and under
standing; and the children, as high
mind and as pure-mlnded family as
Denison has ever known-all of them
will be missed beyond the telling.
We can but congratulate our friend
upon this merited promotion but our
regret at his impending departure is
sincere and personal and heartfelt
ana in this we believe we are joined
by the entire community.

he decide to accept that call, will find
in Rev. w. E. Bryce all that could
be desired as pastor. as preacher and
as a Christian gentleman.

NEXT SUNDAY
Rev. w. E. Bryce Will Leave
Denison.
FOR A MUCH LARGER FIELD
Resignation Causes Much Regret
Among Church Members and
All Others.

On next Sunday morning the resig-
nation of Rev. w. E. Bryce will be
presented to the members of the First
Presbyterian church.
1t is with deepest regret that the
entire Christian community of Deni-
son will learn of the decision of this
man who. both as pastor and as a
citizen. has been one of the strongest
factors for good we have ever had in
our city. We understand that Rev.
Bryce has been called to the Presby-
terian church of Ashland. Ohio, city
much larger than Denison. where the
opportunities will be greater and the
surroundings the most pleasant.
While we appreciate the honor that
a Denison pastor should be called to
so large field, it is distinction which
we would gladly have foregone could
we have but retained him in our city.
The relations between Rev. Bryce
and his church have been. and are,
tine most pleasant and satisfactory and
there is not a member who will not
receive the announcement OF mis- de-
parture with profound regret.
As pastor Mr.. Bryce has done
a great deal to unite his congrega-
tion in spirit of helpful Christian
love. He has created an esprit du
corps" that has made his church a
solid factor for good. Under his
pastorate the membership of the con.
