The effect of these strong Influences
was offset by a less persistent de-

INSURANCE CO. BARRED
Judge Simpson Stops Mutual lnsur.
ance Company From Doing Bush
ness in the State.

The last official act of David f,
Simpson as judge of the Hennepin
county district court was to deny the
Minnesota Farmers Mutual Insurance
Co. a peremptory writ of mandamus to
compel John A Hartigan, former state
insurance commissioner, and the state
insurance office, to issue the company
a license.
In his order Judge Simpson finds
that the company's reports were false
and misleading and that the officers
had not complied with the laws re-
garding notices and expenditures.
At the beginning of the year 1905
Mr. Hartigan refused to Issue license
to the company, which has its head
offices in Minneapolis. The company
clusively.
Mr.. Hartigan gave as his reasons
that the company spent more for it:
running expenses than lis allowed BY
law, that when it levied assessments Il
did not state fully what the levy
would be used for and that it's an.
nual report to the state did not con.
tain fair and true statement of the
company's business
Mr. Hartigan also that that the
president and superintendent, w. d
Andrews, and the secretary and treas.
urer, Charles B. Steelman, had not
given bonds, to the corporation as re-
quired by law.
The company contended 1t haG
obeyed the law and held it had the
right to use money in one fund for eX-
penses that ordinarily came out Of an.
other 1t denied it had lower surplus
than was required.
Judge Simpson found that the ale
cations of the complaint were true
and the order was filed denying the
application for the writ. He held
the company was not entitled to 8
license and that the insurance com
missioner was justified in refusing the
license. SOL
The company effected maintained ar
agent in Clay county for some time

Grain Opinions.

4 Finley, Darrell & Co.: With trade
in it's present mood wheat will un.
Goubtedly prove decidedly more sensi-
tive to the bullish possibilities than to
bearish facts which means that should
the public show the slightest disposi-
tfon to enthuse, higher prices for flu
lures will be experienced.
Logan & Bryan: The big bull lead
ers in wheat have such a holding and
such a prestige with trade that 1t looks
as though they might carry their cam
paign through successfully. We see no
advantage in discrediting these bullish
conditions or the bull leadership. 1t
looks like a strong and broader mar
ket. H. w. e. Co.
