been well borne up by the testimony
and dispositions. In the first place it
will be commended that this whole suit
has already been adjudicated. In 1903
County Attorney Nichols brought an
identical suit against the fire insur-
ance companies and Judge Hazen held
that the companies were not violat-
ing the law in the use of the Eldridge
bureau. Hence this action comes as
a new suit in the same court on a
proposition already settled there.
It will also be maintained, as on the
hrSt day, that the Kansas law of 1909
requiring the filing of rates with the
state insurance commissioner virtu-
ally repeats the trust law and fixes a
rate for them.
But their main defense is that the
Eldridge bureau simply issued reports
and bulletins to the companies for
their guidance and that there never
was an agreement among the compa-
uniform rate and that they had
formed no arrangements to kill com
petition, but that there was open
| competition. Furthermore, the de-
tense will argue that the COMPARES
use rate on dwelling houses alto
gether separate from Eldridge rates
and that on farm property they also
have a separate rate schedule from
the E1dridge guide.
Then again the state says that the
companies can afford to have a diff
ferent rate on dwelling houses where
there is not whit of competition,
and insist that although the compa-
MES do have a separate book on farm
rates, the rates contained are exact
duplicates for the rates in the Ell
bridge books.
Altogether, the case can be said to
favor the companies. The deposit
lions and testimony all tended to
prove the claims of the defense, al
though gathered by the state. It
seems, however. to be certain that
Jackson is right IN assuming that an
agreepent, or an arrangement, exists
among the companies. but no agent
has been lax enough in his business
interests to disclose it,

caught Webb for whom he is looking
with warrant.
As nearly as the officers have learned
the trouble grew out of a former diff
ference about a line fence. It seems
that Webb built his half when Upde-
graft renigged. Webb has also left
word that Warwick tried to shoot him
and that he had to take the gun away
from him. At any rate Webb is charged
with disturbing the peace and quiet of
Mr. Updegraff and will be arraigned in
the court of Topeka when captured.

His word is law with his men.
They trust him and believe in him.

yet been made public, friends of
Geraldine Farrar, the famous
young American diva, say that her
wedding to Antonio Scott, grand
opera tenor, will occur at the
Madeline in Paris during the first
week of June.

Farrar for a long time. In fact,
their engagement was admitted by
the cantatrice over a year ago.
Miss Farrar is the q year old
daughter of Sydney Farrar of Mel
rose. Mass, at one time a famous
ball player. From the time she
made her debut in the Royal opera
house. Berlin, as Markuerite in
Faust, in 1901, her success has
been phenomenal.

II people could only understand that
systemic catarrh Is an Internal dis
case that external applications can
not cure. they would not need to be
warned SO often about this maladY,
which, when neglected, paVes h way
oftentimes for consumption, at tho
cost of millions of lives every year.
Yet catarrh may he cured, if the right
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by q general dis
eased state of the system which leads
commonly 10 annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions, Which may
prove a fertile breeding ground for
germs OF consumption. External re-
umedies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully
treat catarrh is by employing Il medi-
cine which is absorbed and carried
by the blood to all parts of the sys-
tenn, so that the mucou membrane
on internal lining of the body is toned
up and made capable of resisting the
infection of consumption and other
diseases.

the prescription of a physician who
