down and seriously injured by q bug
gy driven by Gilbert johnson On West
Main street near the Northwestern
station Sunday afternoon. The child
was playing in the street when the
buggy came along and the driver failed

child was taken to the home Of rela-
tive on JENNIE street and Doctors Nun
roe and Gephart were caned to attend
her. They found that she had several
bad wounds about the face and head

At the time of the accident Johnson
was rushing his horse in order to allow

SAME RATES TO APPLY TO ALL

One of the most important insur-
aace measures which has been placed
upon tae statute books Of Wisconsin
tor longstssne lisa bisA which has now
become law, ssatsssing the giving of a
rebste upen Ere insurance premium
o criminal offense.
The bill was introduced in the as
semhly early in the session at the re-
quest OF a delegation Of insurance men
who expressed their desire to put a
stop to the pernicious practice of fire
insurance rebatiag. 1t is well known
in some cities fnGt several agents are
giving large rebates on fire insurance
policies, and the custom has grown to
such tremendous proportions that GER
tain agents who stood firm on the
ground that it was bad business policy
lave been driver out of business.
Many of the lagsest business concerns
lin Wisconsin Cities are kaown to have
accepted heavy rebates and the agents
have bowed to the practice to SO large
an extent that nowadays the ageat
who grants the biggest rebate gets the
business in a large percentage Of cases.
The making iato law of bill 1884,
| it is predicted, will cause a furore in
many cities Of the state. The word has
gone out that prosecutions under the
new law will be started soon and that
several agents will be called upon the
carpet,
The anti-rebate law provides that
"ao agent shall offer to pay or allow,
or offer or agree to pay or allow, as
an iadueement for any insurance, aay
rebate Of the premium paid or paya-
Die under its policy, or any special
favcr, advantage, benefit, valuable con-
siaerat;sn or inducement whatever not
specified in its policy Thus an
agent who, in an effort to secure a
good line of FIRE insurance gives as an
added iaducement an accident policy to
the prospective customer, is as liable
to suffer as the agent who pays back
part Of the prensian.
The penalty under the new law is
severe. When it is proven by com
plaiaaat that an agent has reba.ed
he nay be fined from $50 to $500 or
ssent to Jail for six months. If the in
surance commissioner is satisfied that
the offense has been committed he is
empowered to revoke the agents or
