The Midland Life Association of St.

The people of Minnesota paid
during the year 1909, in fire premiums
the sum of $685. 7l.52, practically
$500 for every inhabitant, and the
losses paid during that year average
$500 per capita. It is safe to say that
the losses paid do not cover over two
thirds of the value of the property
destroyed, so that the actual loss in
this state last year was $500 per
capita. The average loss per capita
in Europe per year is about 80 cents.
On this basis our fire loss last year
would have been about about s7o0, 600,
"a saving of approximately three and
one-half millions of dollars.
The per capita loss in Italy is about
IL cents year, while for 1909 the
average loss per capita in this country
was S2.l4 and in 1907, it was 1921.
AS we permit fire to destroy such an
immense amount of property we are
necessarily under high expense to
put out these fires and prevent general
CONGREGATIONS. The cost of fire pro-
lection in such cities as St. Paul and
Minneapolis, is annually about $500
per capita while the cost per capita in
the large European cities varies from
cents to 80 cents.
The fire losses in Minnesota for
May amounted to 1926, 100000, as CON-
pared with 1925, 100000 in 1909. The
losses in the United States were
SIS, l77.000.0O as compared with sl4,-
324, 900 in May, 1909.

VIM. J. Jewett of Mankato
Dies of Injuries Received. His
death Recalls Prominent
Event in Early History of
Blue Earth County.
His Parents Killed by Indians.

Mankato Review: William J. Jewetf.
who was so severely injured in an
automobile accident on the Madison
Lake road Wednesday afternoon, died
as the result of his injuries at the
Stahl House Friday morning at 4
O'Clock. At first it was thought that
his injuries were not of fatal nature,
but complications set in later which
would indicate that his liver was rup-
tured by one of the broken ribs, which
had pierced that organ.
VIM. J. Jewett had an interesting
life and his death recalls an event
prominent in the early history of this
county. Old settlers will remember the
massacre of the Jewett family near
Garden City on the morning of May
2, 1865, by a half-breed named Camp
bell and party of Indians. Mr.. Jew
ett's father, mother, grandmother and
their hired man were killed, and young
Jewett was struck on the head and left
lying in the corn field for dead. He
was found shortly afterward by H. L.
McCollum, now of this city, and 9TH
ers who lived in Decoria but arrived
at the farm an hour or two after the
massacre, and his life was saved.
Deceased was the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. J. Jewett, pioneer resi-
dents of Blue Earth county. He was
born on a farm near Good Thunder in
the year 1862 and was therefore 48
years old. Shortly after the massa-
ere an uncle living il Boston took
him to his home in that city and rear
ed him to manhood. At about the
age of Is years young Jewett came
back to Good Thunder and lived with
his uncle who had moved there from
Boston.

RAIN IN SOUTHERN MIME
sofa
Much Needed Showers Come
to Save Crops. Many Districts
get Steady Soaking That Puts
End to DrOuth.
Crop Report.

Untold benefit to crops of all kinds
has resulted from steady rains which
have fallen in this vicinity and
throughout Southern Minnesota last
Friday night and Saturday morning.
1t is safe to say that crops throughout
the state are now in a splendid con-
dition at this period of the growing
season.
The steady, drizzling rain that be.
gan Friday night and continued
during Saturday forenoon was general
throughout Southern Minnesota and
South Dakota and did immense good
to the pastures and cops.
Winona reported refreshing
thunder shower that broke the long
drouth and gave precipitation of .25
of an inch. Showers have followed a
heavy rain Friday night at Redwood
Falls. Farmers expect good crops.
The barley and rye harvest is in
progress and early oats will be cut
next week. Corn and wheat prospects
are better than usual. Rain started
to fall gently at 9 A. M. in Pine
county, Northern Minnesota, where
towns have been in peril for forest fire
and great relief is felt. Grow Wing
county had heavy rain Thursday
night.
Northern Wisconsin, which with
Eastern North Dakota, has shared the
tribulations due to the long drouth,
had good rains Saturday morning.
At Eau Claire the precipitation in the
last seventeen weeks has been seven
inches less than the normal. The first
rain that Hudson has had in three
weeks fell Saturday morning, and will
help the wheat, corn and potato crops,
though it is too late TO benefit oats,
barley and rye. New Richmond had
an inch of rain, the first real fall in
two months. Cumberland, Wis, had
six hours rain that brought final
relief from the forest fires.
The sixty-day drouth in Iowa was
broken today by fine rain, which is
quite general Of the northern and
western parts of the state.
The fifteenth crop report, covering
conditions along the Chicago & North.
western road west of Winona, issued
late Friday by General Agent II. j.
Wagon, gives a comprehensive sum.
mary of conditions all along the line.
Impr ovement is shown because of late
rains except in the stretch between
Eyota and Winona at the extreme
eastern end of the territory, where the
drouth still continues. In this terri.
tory the loss is estimated to exceed &c
per cent. Conditions as whole are
considered most favorable.
"Weather during the past week has
been more favorable than in the pre-.
ceding week, with minimum tempera.
ture of IS degrees, maximum IS, with
no hot winds. There has been no
damage of any description from
storms, and in every way weather has
been ideal for growing crops" the
report says.
'We consider conditions, as a
whole, very favorable, with exception
of the hay crop, which will be short.
Many farmers are planting fodder
corn as substitute on account OF
such shortage, which will relieve the
situation somewhat in taking care OF
stock during the winters

NEW YORK, April professional
operators in stocks showed growing
encouragement today over the apathy
of the public interest in the market.
Where dealings have dwindled to a
mere exchange of contracts between
traders on the floor and to a match
ing OF witnesses in the dexterity with
which a position may be shifted from
one to the other side of the market,
the net result is likely to be moth

A factor in the hesitation is the
question over a possible decision by
the supreme court on Monday in the
American Tobacco case. The expec-
tation persists in stock market cir
cles that the decision may be handed
down at that time. The conviction
is general that widely divergent re-
suits will follow in the stock market
from the alternatives of the decis-

beginning of the gold outflow was
another repressive influence. The

Difference of
Opinion Great

WASHINGTON, April Widely
diverging views on control of common
carriers, including split minority pre-
sentation, are expressed IN reports that
accompanied the submission of the
administration railroad bill to the
house by the interstate commerce COM
mittee today.
The measure drafted by Attorney
General Wickersham at the instance
of President Taft, introduced by Rep
resentative Townsend of Michigan and
transformed by radical changes in
house committee into substantial
measure, already is being debated IN
the senate. In the house it probably
will follow the naval appropriation
bill Chairman Mann. who will act
as sponsor of the bill, though opposed
20 some of it's provisions, will seek on
Monday to fix date for the bill to
be taken up.
The majority report, which Chairman
Mann signed with the other republican
members, stamps the proposed legisla-
ton as even more important than any
preceding acts for the control of rail-
roads, imposing no undue interference
with railway management and confer
ring large benefits upon the public.
The minority report, striking at the
commerce court, declares mo untried
experimental legislation of doubtful
constitutional character. should be en-
tered upon by congress at time when
neither consumers. shippers nor rail-
roads ask for such legislation"
The minority members, while earnest
advocates of federal supervision of in
terstate railroads, attack the bill as
paternalistic.
Still another set Of views is presen-
ted by Messrs. Sims of Tennessee and
Russell of Texas democratic members
of the committee who refuse to sign
the minority report, although in favor
of some of it's features.
Mr. Richardson of Alabama, who
signed the minority report, believes the
bill leads to government ownership OF
railroads and will offer IAN amendment
prescribing physical valuation instead
of t1uctuating value of capital stock as
a bass 70" ascertaiping fair rate.

alarmed over the outcome of this af-
fair: don't be afraid we will not be

how this is good fishing weather"
This was the advice of Thomas l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America. in addressing g.
600 Of the $4,000 Illinois mine workers
WHO have quit work. at Belleville this
afternoon.
1T is not work We want" he con-
tinued. I'VE are willing to do our
part, but we want a full and COM

Dor, and We never will be satisfied I'M
til we get it,
In an interview Mr.. Lewis express
ed absolute confidence in the outcome
of the present suspension of work and
said the miners will win all their de-
mands within 80 days in all the fields.
with the possible exception of Illinois
and Western Pennsylvania.
These latter fields show conditions
different than in the others and more
time may be necessary.
Il want to say again." he said, this
is not a strike. 1t is just a vacation
and the miners really will enjoy it,
DO not look for anv shortage of coal
nor for any suffering among the men.
The mines throughout the country had
a big run for the last four months and
hundreds of thousands of tons of coal
in excess of the usual output are now
stored by the operators.
The men are prosperous and the
unions, with few exceptions, have
large reserve funds. so / fail to see
where anybody will suffer by the
temporary shut down."
Several of the most extensive oper-
ators in the country already have
made offers for a settlement, accord
ing to Mr.. Lewis, but in each in
stance he has refused to negotiate or
to permit them to reopen their mines
even though promising to pay the new
wage scale from April l.
This question must be settled as a
great proposition and not through in
dividual operators he said.

Apathy in Stocks
Is Most Marked

hesitation in general business similar
to that in the stock market.
The large customs receipts of the
government for March show that the
heavy volume of imports is sustained
and the unfavorable trade balance is
maintained Little attention was paid
to the money market in the existing
lethargy of the stock market. Weather
news from the crop regions holds
large share of attention. Speculation
is preparing itself for the forthcoming
government crop report and the tone
of the state reports now being receiv-
ed foreshadows a marked deterioration
in the winter wheat condition.
The suspension of soft coal mining
and a strike of the New York harbor
pilots kept attention focused on the
subject of labor disputes.
The slight decreases reported in the
visible supply of copper from London
was more than covered by the severe
drop in the March exports Of copper
from this country.
