 An Orderly Affair.

John Grumbles, of Star City, was in the city yesterday and related the story of the lynching of William Hun- ter, a negro, near his home town ast saturday night.

 destroyer of business. pr, Caldwell also told that during four years of the civil war the two armies lbs; n,on
 from wounds and bullets to the nnn,- Der of 27O,00o each, and durino tbo same period recently, the death rato showed e4o,0o0 deaths to be due from tuberculosis. The authorities in I,it.

 Dr. W. s. Stewart spoke on s.E7ooro mlcs Of Tuberculosis Dr Stew art s discourse was highly interesting O anu practical. The fading of once strong empires and nations, Dr. Stew art stated, was due to disease, which brought on moral and political deeen- eracy Among other things be said II we as a people and a nation main tain our supremacy and prestige wa must above all, conserve the racial stock by making every effort to stamn out disease. Normal, healthy men care for and provide for their dos- cendants, A normal, healthy race of men, and such alone, will enact the laws, or develop the public sentiment needed to conserve natural resources for generations yet unborn.
 Tuberculosis still remains the chlet source of death and from an eco- homie point of view, as we'll as oth- CTS, IS subject of prime importance. Tuberculosis is responsible for about one-sffventh of all our deaths and more silan one-third of all who die betWeA- the ages of fifteen and thirty five succumb from this disease. There are more than half a million consump- tives in the United States today, and each year this great white plague car- ries away 150,00O of our people,, Dr. Stewart brought out many other points during his talk, until his sub Ject had been completely handled from his point of view.
 Dr. w. s. Crutcher followed with brief talk, which concluded the pro- gram for the evening.
 After the lectures many had become so interested in the exhibit that the; spent long while looking ovor the charts and various other things. 'r!.is evening a large crowd is expected to come out. MT. Cosper manager of the exhibit will make an address.

Back 10 Normal.
 The regular life insurance business began it's return to normal conditions last year, the reports from all of the states showing increase of payments for death claims and endowments. The reports of the fraternal societies showed also increase of payments for death claims and benefits
 Evidently the change of general conditions of trade and business from unfavorable to favorable, that is, the return of prosperity, had effect in the life insurance field sufficient to permit the carrying of insurance without considerable in- crease of liens through loans and also to reduce to normal extent the lap sation of premium payments. With large amount of insurance taken by new insurants and, in comparison with the records for 1907 and 1908. decrease of ratio of insurance drop ped naturally the companies had to pay more claims last year

 According to the returns to the in- surance department of the State of New York, where 90 per cent of the insurance in force must be accounted for, there was an apparent increase of about 35,O00,O00 in loans on policies, as compared with increases of more than $55, 5,450, ,OOO in 1908, $72,5S7, 1925 fin 1907, and $27.279,826 in 1906.

In the case of l.. J. Acuff against
the Great Northern railway, in
which a verdict was entered for the
plaintiff for $4,000, settlement
has been reached on the basis of
the payment of half of the verdict.
The railroad made an effort before
Judge J. Stanley Webster to have
the verdict reduced, but he would
not consent to it, Rather than take
chances of an appeal to the supreme
court. which the railroad was about
to invoke, the compromise was
agreed upon. Acuff was hurt by be
ing knocked from train by wire

BRINGS DOWN
FL0UR~COST

Outside competition was respon-
sible to great extent for the big
cut in the wholesale price Of flour
this week. The cut was Is cents
per barrel of 200 pounds, instead of
so cents, as first reported.
The cut was made by the Spo-
kane >millers to repel the encroach-
ments of the country mills. The
outside mills had begun to dump
flour into Spokane and sell the
same for from 25 to So cents less
on the 50-pound sack, causing a
serious inroad into the business of
the local millers.
The horizontal cut of IS cents
per barrel was made this week to
repel the outside competition. The
cut in flour will affect the local
retail market and should likewise
be of some assistance in increasing
the size of the nickel loaf of bread.
