Mans Head Torn OFF.

Suddenly the car started. Handy was
not quick enough, and he was caught be-
tween the floor and the side of the car.
His head was torn off and part of his
body rolled into the car with the girls
as they were carried to the top. Some
device saved the car from going through
the roof.
The two girls screamed and begged to
be released. Then the car shot to the
bottom. 1t stopped between the ground
floor and basement, and just above the
other part of the body of the dead ele-

Reporting to the Department OF Com
meree and Labor, Vice Consul Chester A.
Davis of Colombo says:
The outlook for the pearl-oyster fishing
industry in Ceylon is decidedly dubious

at which time no trace Of them was found
Should the present inspection reveal spat-
fall, and should IL develop five years

next fishery can not be held until 1915.
The last fishery, held in 1908, was a COM
plete failure, In the previous year, the
last successful fishery, 21OOOOOO oysters
were fished, out Of an estimated 81 900 600
These oysters, many of which held pearls
were sold at public auction at a good
profit.
The year 1907 marked the sixth consecu-
tive year Of successful fisheries prior to
the beginning Of which, in 1909, there had
been a lapse Of twelve years in the in
dustry. Ceylon fisheries have never been
steady, there having been throughout
lapses of many years. The longest was
during the Dutch occupation OF the island
and lasted about twenty-seven years. The

Not only are the pearl fisheries of Cey-
Ion and India declining. but II is under
stood that the Persian gulf the chief
source of the worlds supply, Is giving a
much reduced yield. The price of pearls,
consequently, is abnormal and the market
is steadily rising, 1t is believed that in a
few years, unless something unforeseen
transpires the value of pearls will exceed
that of diamonds.

Archipelago, excellent pearls have been

benefit Of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri
Illinois and other states bounded by or
traversed by the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers. and give them control Of new
islands which have been formed by the
freakish actions Of the waters OF these

The bill covering this question, which
has been introduced in the present session
Of the legislature, provides for the sale

opportunity to purchase It and thus secure

Fire Insurance.
+. A. Sherman member OF the house
from Mnnehaha county, has introduced
in the legislature a bill which has for its
purpose the relief Of joint stock fire insur-
ance companies which were organized
under the laws OF South Dakota. Under
the law, as it exists, such companies must
deposit with the state securities to the
amount Of 10000 as a pledge for the pay
mcnt Of their policies
The bill introduced by Representative
Sherman seeks to relieve them from this
requirement. Mr. sherman holds that for
eign companies are permitted to come into
South Dakota and transact business with
out this restriction, and that there is no
good reason why the South Dakota com
panies should be placed upon a different
footing.
While Il Is a general bill and would
affect any companies organiEed in the
state, up to the present time it applied
only 20 the Queen City company. which
is the only Joint stock fire Insurance COM

of South Dakota now doing business in

The South Dakota Press association at
its annual meeting few days ago adopted
a resolution asking the present legislature
to provide for the assembling of a consti-
tutional convention at the earliest date
practicable, for the purpose OF remedying
defects in the present constitution of South
Dakota, which does not meet the growing
needs Of the state.

II there would be any objection to

says:
Mr. Hayes has been wording as

In his report Caldwell states that
