HITS UNION COMPANIES
Superintendent of Insurance Rules
Against Discriminate Commissions.

superintendent Isaac Lewis of the
state department of insurance has
handed down his opinion in the con-
troversy between the union and nom
union companies over the scale of
commissions to be paid agents and his
decision is that all the companies will
have to cease the practice of what is
called the separation rule" The su-
perinten0ents decision is against the
union companies and their discrim-
ination against agents holding state
commissions to sell insurance. In his
decision the uperintendent sums up
the merits of the controversy as fol-
lows:
This department is very reluctant
to interfere in any controversy be-
tween com panies in competition with
each other, but the instances of an
noyance and pecuniary injury to many
citizens of Kansas which were cited on
the one hand, and, on the other, the
apparent disregard of sound business
methods in the effort to procure vol
une of insurance without sufficient re-
gard for the interests of the insuring
public or the future and ultimate solv-
ency of the companies. appear to make
it necessary for me to interpOSe OBJ
jections to the continuation of this
conflict.
1.-THE searching investigation which
this department has just made of the
charges eferred to above leads to the
conclusion that the application of this
rule in this state is not only obnoxious
and annoying, but must and does re-
suit in pecuniary loss to a certain class
of our citizens. This in itself in my
opinion, is ample reason for it's abro
cation.
1.-The information thus obtained reveals
no material difference in the payment of
commissions to agents by the various
companies, and in no single instance was
the maximum higher than 25 per cent
Assuming, as this department does, that
the s2aIe of commissions so filed will be
substantially adhered to in the future, and
granting there may have been some merit
in the claims made by the union CONF
panies in the past for this practice, there
does not now and can not exist, in my
opinion. any just reason, excuse or jusu-
fication for the future application Of this
rule
Then Superintendent Lewis gives his de-
cision or ruling in the case as follows:
Now, therefore, I, Ike s. Lewis, super
intendent of insurance for the state of
Kansas order and direct that all fire in
slrance companies transacting business IN
Kansas shall cease and forego the prac-
tice or application of what is commonly
known as the Separation Rule. Any vio-
lation or infractiOn of this rule, or any
attempt to interfere in any manner with
the most perfect freedom of any agent
holding a license from this department. by
any company or representative of any
anv manner whatsoever, or the employ
1nent of any coercive intimidating
measures against an agent representing
one or more union or non-un1on COM
panies. will be deemed by this department

Measles in Samoa.

AS few in this part of the world are
apt to think of measles as a serious
scourge, so the news that the disease
is now epidemic in American Samoa
has been commonly received as a mat
ter of but minor and transient signifi-
canoe. But there is vast difference
between measles in the United States
and measles in the islands of the Pa
cific.
For the inhabitants of the South Sea
islands the presence of the disease is
dreadful About the year 1875 measles
broke out in the Fiji islands, and of
an estimated population of 10000
about $4,000 died. That is to say, al
most one-third of the entire commun-
ity was wiped out That the frightful
mortality was due in large measure to
want of expert medical attendance and
the ignorance of the people in face of
this unknown plague there can be lit
tie doubt. The ordinary native
obeyed his impulses, and when the
rash broke out what should he do but
plunge into the nearest pool to cool
off? But apart from this consid era
ton there was a manifest lack of gen
eraI resistance among the inhabitants
against the new disease, and this is the

important distinction.
Here, where the disease is epidemic,
we have established a relative immun-
ity- 1t is true that there is no disease
of the kind in which complete immun-
ity is rarer-nearly all of us have had
m asles-but with us it is as a rule a
very mild and harmless affection. For
instance, to take one year when more
than $4,000 cases were reported in
this city there were only 972 deaths.
Compare these figures with the fig
ures of the outbreak in Fiji. Nor was

formerly free from it, it has proved
terribly fatal Hence. when in 1884 a
case developed on board a vessel which
had set out from Sydney for cruise
in the South sea, the unlucky excur-
sionists found it impossible to go
ashore at any port and were ultimately
obliged to turn back.
The reports from Tutuila say that
the mortality during the current out
break has been nearly 10 per cent OF
the population of the towns from
which returns have been received. d"
That is by no mans incredible. With
our relative immunity we have little
fear of what is called "black measles
the hemorrhagic form of the dis
ease-but in new communities this
form is common whenever outbreaks
occur, and so fatal that in those coun-
tries-as in Samoa or even in the wall
lev of the Amazon-it is dreaded more
than smallpox.-New York Evening

VAN HORNE IS DEAD.
Pioneer Who Once Owned Most of
North Topeka Gone.

Col. Benjamin F. Van Horne, an
early and prominent settler of Kansas
and Shawnee county, died today at
the age of "a years, at the home of
MS daughter, Mrs. A. P Havens. in
Minneapolis, Kan. The body will be
brought to Topeka for burial, arriving

Col. Van Horne was formerly en-
gagged in the mercantile business in

century ago and the town had less
than score of persons on 1rs census
Col Van Horne left Shawnee county
some son Il1teen years ago with his fam
lly and went to Texas. His wife and
eldest son died in the Lone Star state
and the old Kansan concluded to re-
turn TO his own state. He settled at
minneapolis with his daughter and
mas since resided there.
Mr.. Van Horne came TO Topeka
from Indiana in 1857. There were
aeout dozen shacks on the tovnsite
and there was little cluster of store
buildings in struggling line down
Kansas avenue from Fifth street to
the river Mr.. Van Horne brought a
stock Of merchandise with him from
the Hoos1er state, shipping the goods
to Leavenworth by water and thence
overland TO Topeka. He placed these
goods on sale in a building which then
occupied site across the street from
the old court house at the corner of
Fourth and Kansas avenue In 1860
he moved to Madison countS which
was later divided into Greenwood and
Lyon counties, and at the beginning
of the war Joined the Union army. He
helped organize the first regiment of
negro troops He came to Topeka
again in 1862 as a member of the sec
ond session of the Kansas legislature
from Madison county.
Mr.. NanHorne at one time owned. most
OF the townsite of North Topeka. He
built the first substantial house over
there on the north corner of Kansas ave
nue. and Norris street. 1t was claimed
at that time that on account of the sandy
character of the soil over there that the
foundations of a house would not stand
Tor any length of time but the house he
built IN 1870 is standing and in use todav

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS.

The Central Y. NJ. c. A. gave their
annual reception to the boys OF the
high school last night. The lobby was
very tastily decorated with the high
school colors and pennants. About
$50 boys were present and a little but
tonhole ribbon of black and gold was
tied on each one. Music was furnished
by two young ladies, Miss Horsfeldt
and Miss Jessie Waller, who gave Sc
lections on the piano and violin. Re
freshments of doughnuts and cider
were served These informal recep-
tions given by the Y. M. G. A. give the
boys a chance to meet other fellows
and thus establish a friendly footing.
At an informal reception given by
the Y. w. c. A to the high SCHOOL,
girls, games were played and many
girls became acquainted with other
girls whom they would never meet
otherwise. Owing to the inclemency
of the weather, only small number
of girls were able to attend.
Slight scrimmage was INDUCED in
yesterday at football practice, just
enough, however to get the men hard
ened up a little for next week. Signal
practice begins Monday, and with the
first game only a week off, it looks as
if the team will have to get down to
some good hard work if they get the
signals learned by that time Ander-
