trains are filling long felt want. AS
mentioned some time ago in these col
umns the Rock Island company ar
ranged to start train toward Rock
Island from Peoria each Sunday morn
ing and one from Rock Island to Peo-
ria each Sunday night. These trains
run on the same schedule time as the
daily trains.
For many years Kewanee people de-
string to go to the tri-cities on Sun
day morning have been forced to use
late Saturday evening trains and there
was no way of getting to Peoria in the
evening each Sunday. The trains were
first put on week ago and while they
were new to Ehe public they were
patronized literally. Yesterday scores
of Kewaneeans took advantage of the
new schedule and visited the tri-cities.

Woodruff, ILL.,, June 16.-People here
are greatly excited over a scientific
discovery made here yesterday. While
workmen were engaged in excavaIing
for a building about IL feet below the
surface they came upon the tusk of
some huge prehistoric animal.
The tusk has been broken off at the
smaller end, but what was left measur-
ed feet 10 inches, so that it origin
ally might have been well on eight
feet in length. At the largest part it
is Is inches around.
The men broke the tusk in two pieces
before they learned what it was. 1t
was not hard when first found, but has
hardened rapidly since being brought
to the surface.

CLAIMS ARE ALL SETTLED

CLAIMS ARE ALL SETTLED

During the year 1903 there were
recorded three cases where life in
surance companies made payment on
| individual claims in the state OF ILL
nois which amounted to from $780,
900 to 100000 each. One of these
claims was for the sum of $245,O0O
life insurance policies of the late
Ransom R. Cable of Rock Island.
Another was for the same amount
and was held by the late John M.
Smyth,- Chicago retail merchant.
The third of these Illinois pay
ments was for larger amount than
those above mentioned 1t was for
the sum of $323s364 that fell due
on the death of the late Henry Wat
son of Alton Mr.. Watson held one
Of the nine largest claims that fell
due in the United States during the
year just passed.

Hday in a special edition that review

during the last calendar year.
Iowa In the Rear.
The report for 1910 is detailed
one and among tables there is print
ed one which contains summary
by states. 1t shows amount of
claims paid by companies during
1909 as follows.
Illinois .............$2 1,SoO, 900
Iowa 100000
The largest total amount of pay
ments made during the year in any
Illinois city, not including Chicago,
was $549,909 paid in Quincy. Quin-
cy ranked 53rd in the table showing
cities of the entire country arranged
in order of the amounts paid within
the limits. Peoria people drew
$50S,000, the city ranks seth among
the leading cities of the country.
Chicago ranked third, there being
$11, 3S5,21S to its credit
Rock Island ranks among the
leading cities of Illinois SO far as
death claims paid within it's limits
last year are concerned. The Island
City claims amounted to s139, 269-I
not including the Ransom Cable
claim, which is credited to Chicago
while claims paid in Moline are
only $24,091. These figures lead to
the conclusion that the people of
Moline are either not insured or are
not dying. The reverse is the con-
clusion for Rock Island-either the
people are carrying much insurance
or they are dying at a rapid rate.
Scott Well Insured.
That the late Guy G. Scott of
Aledo, justice of the Illinois supreme
court, carried $17,50O life insurance,
which claim was paid his heirs dur
ing the past year is information
found in the Insurance Press report.
Chauncey H. Castle of Quincy held
much life insurance and claims paid
at the time of his death totalled
$135,OOO.
This state ranks 18th among the
states in the union as regards
amounts of insurance claims paid In
each commonwealth In Illinois
claims as follows were paid:
One for a sum between 100000
and 100000.
Two for sums between 100000
and $4,000.
Three for sums between 800, 900
and $2OO,OOO.t
One for a sum between SIS, 900
and 100000.
Twenty-Five for sums between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Ninety-seven for sums between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Illinois ranks fourth among the
states reporting the largest total
