The home insurance companies of
the state won their battle in the senate
when they succeeded in killing s. F.
No PIP, bill by Aldrich of Butler
county, providing for an annual ac-
counting and apportioning of the sur
plus of life insurance companies doing
business in the state. The home COM
panies contended throughout the insur-
ance fight that this bill would bar
them from competing with eastern
companies in other states because of
the reciprocal insurance laws which
prevent an insurance company writing
in any state a policy not permissible
in the home state.

FOR THE NURSERY
COMFORT AND WELFARE OF THE
LITTLE ONES.
Light, Cheerful Rooms, with Plenty Of
Sun, a Requiste-The Proper
Furnishings - Utilizing Left
overs from Dinner.

There are some points which are es-
sential in the nursery. 1t should be
light and cheerful, with plenty of
sun, and well ventilated. The floor
should be hardwood one, and If
that is too expensive, have the floor
painted Rugs are better than car
pet, because they can be taken up
often and thoroughly cleaned A
thermometer is quite necessary to in.
sure the right temperature. While
few American children are brought up
in their own suite of rooms, after the
English fashion, it is becoming more
and more the custom to give the lit.
tie folks place of their own.
Up-to-date nursery furnishings and
decorations are made in various
styles, and always with view to the
pleasure Of the children. Miniature
furniture in mission and brentwood
is most attractive. Where the nursery
is just one large room, it may be
furnished with dining-table, desk.
book-shelves, beds and bureau, all of
just the right height. Each child may
have his or her own chair Rugs car
be had with appropriate designs, and
window draperies with pictorial fig
ures. Wall papers are made with
Mother Goose and Dutch scenes, and
the friezes with pictures of Little
Bo-Peep," Jack and JILL" Baby Blunt
ing" ETC., are most fascinating. These
numerous illustrations made the room
particularly attractive. There are also
little folks.
The ''left-overs" from a turkey din.
ner are worthy of attention. After
all the really fine slices of the fowl
have been removed, the bits of meat
picked from the bones may be used
for several appetizing luncheon
dishes. One of the best is made by
heating the pieces in cream sauce
or in the gravy, if any has been left.
Serve on thin slices of buttered toast
with broiled mushrooms on top. II
the mushrooms are not suitable for
broiling, break them in pieces, and
circled with poached eggs if mush-
rooms are disliked.
Dreamed fowl surrounded with rice,
which has been boiled in the broth
made from the bones, is also very
good. Turkey salad is another way
in which to use up the bits of cold
fowl.
For luncheon dish tomato rabbit
will be found appetfzing. Cut four
whole canned tomatoes in slices, lay
ing them on slices of toasted whole
wheat bread; then sprinkle with salt,
pepper, dry mustard, and a few drops
of Worcestershire sauce, covering
thickly with grated American cheese.
Arrange the toast in a shallow baking
pan and place in a hot oven long
enough to melt the cheese. Serve i'm
mediately with a poached egg on top
of each slice, and garnish with crisp
cress.
1t is almost impossible to serve a.
second portion of Welsh rabbit on &C.
count of its becoming tough as soon
as 1t cools. To prevent this, stir g.
beaten egg into what remains, cover
1t closely, and reheat over a small
flame, using the hot-water pan. II STIR
red up and cooked a moment, it will
be found quite as good as when first
made.

governor and now in effect, was draft
cd by joint committee comprising
senators and members OF the legisla.

one who put in great deal Of time
looking up the legality of the proposed
measure. The bill is merely amend.
atory of the present statute, which
fixes the passenger rates ct cents o

three" to two" In addition, there is
inserted n clause which states that nc
railroad shall be required to sell a

to the sale of tickets on roads where

The bill changes the age at which half

under 10 years to children under IL
years, which is now the rule in force
on all roads in this state.

An argument which has been indus
triously circulated to defeat the ter
minal taxation bill has been the decla-
ration that it would impose double
taxation upon the railroads in counties
under township organization, and
therefore be unlawful, or else knock
the townships out of their proper share
of taxes That statement is effect
lively met with decision of the SUI
preme court of Indiana, which will be
offered by Clarke of Douglas in his
fight for the passage of the terminal
taxation bill. The court holds there
with respect to a similar law that the
fact that property is taxed in town
ship cannot release the railroad from
paying its just share of taxes for mu-
nicipal purposes to the town which
may lie wholly within the precincts of
that township.

After two hours of strenuous dis
cussion the senate in committee Of the

Luce of Harlan, who is in the business.

Engineer Bartel and Brakeman Shaw
we're killed on the Santa Fe near Desota
Saturday mi rnirg. The engine blew up
while crossing bridge. The bridge was
demolished and the engine went into the
stream. Fireman Dortch jumped from
the engine and 10 some miraculous way
escaped death. The men killed were
running out Of Argentine.
Engineer Klsbau Of Newton was killed
In a wreck at Sylvia Friday night, and
his fireman, George Neddler, was scalded
so badly that II was reported that his
chances for life were very small They
were pulling the California Limited and
had bad mix-up with both No. " and
No. 577. just how the accident hap.
pened has not been explained. Mr.. Ned.
dler used to own q home In Dodge City,
and both men were well known here.
A bad wreck occurred also on the Big
Four In Indiana last Saturday, which the
newspapers compare to the recent wreck
on the Rock Island at Volland. 1t is re-
ported that large number of people
we're killed and their bodies burned, and
others badly injured.
The recurrence Of railroad wrecks Is
indeed becoming alarming. AT present
the public is In state Of mind in which
the usual daily wreck is only casually no.
tics d, save by the chief mourners. The
frequency Of railroad accidents seems to
be steadily on the increase, and 1t Is only
question of short time until there, will
be general protest against this whole
sale slaughter. There will always be
railroad wrecks, but with proper atten-
tion given to the matter there will be
fewer than at present This wholesale
killing shows plainly that something Is
radically wrong.

and Everybody Is Watching You.
People who hunt should learn what a
pheasant looks like. SO that they may be
sure to avoid shooting them for "some.
thing else"
There is a heavy fine for shooting them,
and the majority of people are desirous
Of protecting them as fully as possible. II
has been feared by some that hunters may
kill these birds by mistake. II you do
not know what they look like you may
learn by visiting the Palace Drug store.
A pair has been mounted and are on ex-
hibition in the north window of that
store.
Fifty of these bi ds have been distrib.
uted In Ford county. There are some at
DR.. Milton's farm northeast Of town,
some at J. @. fuckers place near How
ell, some at Mr.. Whitaker's, J. D.
Browns and Mic Mayrath's. Hays Bel
near had pair, but they were killed by
a skunk last week, SO Mr.. Belmear is out
of the pheasant business at present. The
birds are part Of shipment from Eng
land, and they were sent here by the state
game warden. II they do well 1t will
only take few years to stock the county
with them. The county is going to pay
reward Of $40 for information Of any
person shooting the birds, and the gun
club of Dodge City has offered reward
Of Sl5. Every one should take an inter.
est in protecting the pheasants. There Is
no season Of the year when 1t is lawful to
shoot them, and there will not be until
the country is well stocked with them.

UNKNOWN INSANE MAN.

Know Where He Belongs or
Who He Is.

An unknown insane man was brought
to town by Sheriff Bell last Thursday
evening from the country southwest Of
town. MIR. w. Z. Lighter informed the
sheriff that the man was roaming at large
and that some Of the women were very
much frightened at him. Mr.. Bell found
him q. the home Of George johnson,
where he was guarded by Mr.. johnson
and some Of the neighbors. He did not
offer much resistance to being brought
, to town, but tried once to escane. The
man says his name is John Williams, but
it 10 very doubtful whether he knows who
he is or where he came from He claims
to have been robbed Of some money some
time ago, and 1t is possible that he has
been sand-bagged and robbed and left in
his present condition. The authorities
have secured medical attendance, and
think that his condition may be improved
In short time.
