4 WONDERFUL BUSINESS.
Great Demand for Tornado
Insurance.

From Des Moines Daily News, May 6.
The month of April was busy month
with the Iowa Mutual Tornado Insur-
ance association of this city. They
wrote 81, 500, 900 in risks and made a
gain in new business of nearly 81, OOO,-
600 and now have over $135, 600, 900 in
risks; paid nearly s., 900 in losses and
have on hand April 80, $l33, s75. 90 with
which to meet future losses. The storm
of April 10Th caused the association
over 300 losses, amounting to about
$4,000. These losses are all in pro-
gress of adjustment and will be paid as
soon as it is possible to attend to SO
many.
There was tornado during April in
sixteen counties in Iowa, and more or
less destructive wind storm in many
fore counties.
The association is doing wonderful
business. While last year was record
breaker for business, the secretary has
received about 700 more applications
than up to April Both last year. Over
200 applications were received each day
for the first five day in May. The as
ISOLATION is becoming popular as its
cheapness, reliability and manner of
business becomes better known. This
is purely cooperative association and
no one deserves any sympathy who
meets with loss without insurance
when it can be had at so small cost as
this association. This is the associa-
ton that co-operates with the county
mutuals. This is the association of
which N. Densmore is president and ].
B. Herman is secretary.

Distressing accounts continue to be

bands of Mohammedans, who, acting
on the superstition that the Armenians
were rising against the government,
were quick to strike the first blow.
The men were killed whenever found
within reach of knife or bullet The
girls were often maltreated, and some
of them were carried off to become
the wives or slaves of rich men.
"Clean UP Armenians."
Houses were sacked and then

Roosevelt as a Pot Hunter.

Who takes very much pride in the
shooting exploits of Theodore Roose-
welt?
The chances are the lions he is kill
ing were driven in for him. In any
event, they have had no even chance
for their lives. If he had gone out as
Samson did, man against beast, there
would at least be something of the
square deal about the sport.
But the Roosevelt hunting, like all
modern hunting, is essentially the sport
of the pot hunter, the game corralled
and tied down for the slaughter. There
is no more element of chance about it
than there is about killing beeves.
The pretense that the lion and rhi-
noceros must be killed does not excuse
making sport of the killing. 1t is not
the mere taking of the lives of wild
beasts is the standard of sport set
for generation. Every boy who
shoots robin or gray squirrel has
the Roosevelt example to justify him.
The Roosevelt trip to Africa has been
one of those spectacular parades that
somehow serve to cheaper man Of
real force and character. 1t would be
impossib le to think of Lincoln, or Gar
field, or Mckinley, or General Grant
on such an expedition. Mr.. Roosevelt
might have visited Europe in way to
gain respect for himself and for the
nation. But down IN the African jun
gle shooting stalled animals he is only
serving to advertise the worst side of
himself. -Des Moines Tribune. (Rep. }
