Speculative Life Insurance.

A mania for speculative insuranccs
on the lives Of public pcrsonages pre-
vailed in England during the eight
eenth century. Warren Hastings, the
pretender, the rebel lords or the UNI
fortunate Admiral Byng answered
equally the purpose OF speculation, and
there were also regular quotations on
the lives of notorious highwaymcn.
Sir Robert Walpole at one period OF
his career. when his life was endan-
gered by popular tumults, was insured
for many thousands, and when George
III. fought at Dettingen % per cent was
paid against his return. Such spccula-
tive insurances were. however. largely
checked by the gambling act Of H74,
which made insurable interest neccs-

ton just at present on its line be-

The latest reports from there are
are that a number Of bridges on Box
Elder creek have gone out, and that
the line is practically demoralized all
along the valley of that stream, with
numerous washouts besides the loss
of the bridges. All west-bound pas
sengers were brought back from Was
ia and all who arrived at Pierre, west
bound, were notified that they would
get no farther than Wasta, and were
given their choice of going to that
place to lay over, or stopping at
Pierre. Several passengers from
Black Hills points went on west ex-
pecting to get the last forty miles by
carriage, but most of them stayed at
Pierre. The reports from the DAM
aged section is that it will take any
where from three days to a week to
again get trains operating between
Wasta and Rapid City, and in the
meantime the service will be one
train each day as far out as the line
can be operated.
