Des Moines, Feb. lit Is probable
that in very many of the counties of
the state there will be an agreement to
permit the going to the state conven-
tons of the county delegates who are
now in office. They are officeholders
under the state and for definite term
but the national committee made It i'm
possible to have them recognized by re-
curing that every delegate must be
selected after tie national call has been
issued. of itself, even if the Iowa law
was not clear on the subject, would
prevent these delegates from acting
and besides, the number Of delegates is
different from that in the conventions
Of last year.
But the democrats of Polk county
for instance, do not care to go to the
bother and trouble Of holding caucuses
and they have never recognized the
primary principles as useful in their
party, and so it is porposed that they
call 1'mass convention so-called, and
designate from the list of already elect
ed delegates to the state convention
from the list Of already elected dele
gates to the state convention those
who are to represent the county this
year. This will obviate all danger OF
legal IiiTiv uiiies.
Seek to Avoid Expense.
Prominent members Of the republi-
can county committee are making in
quiries as to whether or not this meth
cd could not be followed by the repub-
Iicans, or some other that. would avoid
expense, for they have no fund with
which to provide for the expense OF
even ferfunctory primary. In other
years when the volunteer primary has
been used there have been candidates
willing to put up the money for the
chance of election. Now there seems
to be no way of arranging primary
unless there are patriots willing to VOL
unteer to act as judges Of election
without expense.
One other suggestion has been to
have the primary on the same day as
the city election and thus assure
large vote at least in the city; but that
fails to dispose Of the expense cues
ton.
Whether there is a primary or eau
cuses of a mass convention or the
county central committee disposes OF
the matter it will all be one thing III
Polk county. But probably the demand
to get on the delegation to the Cedar
Rapids convention will be unusually
great. It is also more than probable
that two seats Of delegates will bt
| named-one for the state convention
and one for the Seventh district con-
| vention.

Tires Of Her Affinity

her husband had been very unhappy
on account of the princes conduct but
King George insisted that his son
should get a divorce, which was grant
ed on February II, 1903.
The princess and Giron at first
seemed to be very happy, going from
Geneva to Mentone. Then came the
serious illness of Prince Christian,
the eldest child of Crown Prince Fred
erick and Princess Louise, and the
mother agreed to part with Giron if
allowed to see her son. This was re-
fused, but Louise did not go back to
Giron.
After her flight Louise assumed the
title of Countess Montignoso, and was
granted an income Of $500 a year
from her former husband The coun-
tess then came to Italy, where he had
an affair with the Marquis Guiccardini,
which caused the Iatter's wife to leave
him and sue for divorce. Louise next
met SignOr Toselli, who was a music
teacher with a very modest income.
They eloped to London, where they
were married in 1907
The pair have not lived together for

Now Seeks to Be Free.

Rome-The trial Of the suit Of the
Countess Montignoso, formerly crown
princess Of Saxony, for a legal separa-
ton from her husband, Enrico Toselli,
was begun here and promises to be
replete with sensations. In her pc
tition the former princess accuses Sig
nor Toselli with having misappropriat-
ed money and jewelTy belonging to
her in order to lead a vicious, lazy
and immoral life, and further alleges
that during her absence Toselli in
vited women to their villa, decked
them out in her finery, and afterward
openly escorted them through the
streets of Florence.
Signor ToselH has made no public
Etatement in regard to the suit, but
his friends declare that many of the
accusations made against him are
false, and he is expected to make
vigorous defense. 1t is limited also
that he will bring serious counter
charges against his wife, the former
princess.

New .YOrk.-Jacques Lebaudy, first

York a place where he can indulge in

against the superintendent of banks

100000, that being the value of prop
erty in France which he alleges the
trust company was to dispose of for
him.
The suit brought by Jacques Pre-
mier, as he used to sign himself on
hotel registers, Is really an echo of
his Saharan expedition. 1t was in
1906 that Lebaudy, forced to aban-
don his scheme of empire In the
desert owing to the refusal of the
powers to recognize his claims, de-
termined to seek an asylum in the
United States. Because of the treat
ment of some of his men France had
become uncomfortable for him. In
September, 1908, he issued a procla-
nation offering his French property
for sale, signed by his imperial hand
which was sent to leading bankers
abroad and which was the foreTunner
of his present suit.

FISHING WITH A STEAM PUMP
Each Stroke of Piston Brought Up
Torrents of W=ter in Which
Were Fish and Crawffsh.

One of the most singular fishing de-
vices imaginable was discovered by
accident in France Though extreme
ly simple, the system is revolutionary,
says the Scientific American
pond on the farm of La Marie
quette, bordered by rocky shores. was
drained one year by the aid of a
steam pump. Each stroke Of the pis-
ton drew up % gallons of water, and
the pond was emptied in few hours.
and not only was the water drawn off,
but all the fishes also were transferred
to a new element.
This was a revolution. The owners
Of ponds in the neighhorhood followed
suit. and the proprietor of the pump
made a speciality of this sort of work.
He let" one of his pumps, modited
for the purpose. The peasants of the
region called it the fish pump" Each
stroke of the piston brought up tor
rents of water, in which were fish and
crawflsh. together with mud and de-
bris
One pond Of several acres was
cleared of fish at an expense of about
$720. The process was ingenious, but
as one cannot have his fish and eat
it, too. and as such rapid consumption
would have led to equally rapid ex
termination, the authorities stopped
the practice.

WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

insurance Commissioner VIM. H.
Hotchkiss of New York, chairman Of
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Convention of Insurance Com
missioners, prior to the last Head
Camp of the Modern Woodmen Of
America, gave the following official
notice, to that society:
Pursuant to action of the national
convention Of state insurance commits
sioners, at its adjourned session IN
December last, I write you this ex-
preston of views as to the necessity
Of your order-as well as all other
fraternal benefit societies-Dlacfng
itself on firm foundation as to rates.
An insurance society which in these
days does not recognize that the cost
Of insurance is fixed by laws other
than mans laws-nameIy. the laws Of
1ature-Or prescribes for its mem
bers either a fat rate, irrespective of
the age of its menba rs, or any other
rate that is not scientifically safe, is
deceiving both itself and its members
and approaching the time-perhaps
slowly, but not the less surely
when 1t must fail and its contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit is a
good thing; but the rates and man
hgement of fraternal societies must
also be such that the benefciarfes of
the last member to die will receive
every dollar that such members GER
tificate calls for"
State Insurance Commissioner
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued an Of
icial interview in which he saws.
'Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on a sound basis.
This means a Te-rating for nearly ev-
cry society. and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
often inclined to complain of in
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with a re-rating on
sound basis they have much more
valuable insurance than before. All
are benefited by getting a permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore The Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea, by reason Of its long experience
with large membership, is permitted
to make rate upon its own expert
SHCer WHICH Is even lower t0d0 that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gress table, which new societies must
adopt. The cost of this insurance is
not a matter of mortality tables or
rates charged, but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society A re-
rating merely means that each mem
Der shall pay his real share Of that
cost. Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do well to
take enough time to study the ques-
ton before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves and
their families"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
at is unpleasant for the members
of the Modern Woodmen Society to
have to pay more for their insurance,
but let them think how much more I'm.
pleasant it would be for those 5000,
600 women and children, or any of
them, to be deprived of that protec.
ton because their husbands or faith.
ers got angry. That is what all Wood
men should think about"
