THE GOVERNOR AND INSURANCE.

The controversy between the COVER

general interest. That it is fraught
with more than passing import is clear

The insurance companies, either will

readjust rates in such a way as to I'M

these burdens are made retroactive,
and insurers are held up from January

lease chance of self-protection, rates
have been raised even to treble what

DID SHE COMMIT SUICIDE?
II So, What Caused Her to Take Her
Life? Vexinu Problems

An element OF mystery surrounds
the finding of dead body hanging on
wire fence which separates the proper
ties of Otto II. Obenhon and William
Hankay in HoughtOn.
The body was that of one Of the
latter's favorite hens and Mr. Oben-
hon is of the opinion that his neigh
boris chicken committed suicide. When
the village treasurer first advanced
this theory some of the interested
persons ventured the opinion that it
might be for the purpose of hiding
some other knowledge which he might
have as 20 the demise of the fowl. but
il is understood that Mr.. Hankey has
absolved his neighbor from any re-
sponsibility or connection with the
hens death.
Mr.. Hankey seems 10 incline to the
version that the hen lost her life In
foolhardy attempt 10 get away from
the man who lives on the other side of
the fence, that she saw Mr.. Obenhon
coming, became terror stricken and
dashed recklessly for her own pre-
cincts with the result that she got her
head enmeshed in the wires of the
fence and was strangled to death.
Almost every other person who has
taken an interest i'm the strange case
is Of the opinion that it is a plain case
of suicide. There are various theories
as to the cause or causes which led
the unfortunate hen TO end her exist
ance. Some say that it was the high
price Of living, that the hen has for
months seen her product bringing a
large price in the market but has not
seen similar improvement i'm her
living conditions. bringing on fit Of
dependency.

WIRELESS SERVICE NEEDED
Lighthouses Should Have Means Of
Quick Communication


I 1t would seem as though the Lake
carriers association might with adj
vantage turn its attention to improv-
| ing the means OF communication to the
more remote districts traversed by yes
sells, says the Marine Review. The case
Of the Zenith City is an Illustration OF
the necessity for more adequate SER
vice. This steamer stranded
on the rock off Point Au
Sable about o'clock july
p. A boat was Immediately Dispatch
ed to the fog signal station about a
mile away only TO discover there were
no means of communication with the
life saving station at Grand Marais,
ten miles away. The trip to Grand
Marais was slow and tedious. Upon
arriving there il was discovered that
there were no telegraphc communca-
tons whatever and that the only tele-
phone TO Seney. forty miles away, at
which point the nearest telegraph
office was located, was owned by the
Manistique railroad. The Manistidue
railway runs one or two trains a day
and shuts up shop at Seney when the
last one is run, which is about
O'Clock in the afternoon. After that
hour there is no possible way of get
ting information out of Grand Marais
until or Q o'clock the next morning.
The result was that the Zenith city
was on the rocks about seventeen
hours before the home office received
any word concerning her predicamenti
1t is not necessary to emphasize the
extreme danger Of the situation. For
tunatDly there was no wind ana the
steamer suffered no damage from the
sea, but had a northwest gale been pre-
vailing she would have pounded to
pieces before any help could reach her.
1t would seem as though some sort
)f communication should obtain
between lighthouses llmfe saving sta
lions and the outer world The cost
IF installing such service would not |
be costly and ii certainly would be an |
invaluable aid TO navigation.
