the continuance of the good weather
the work will be nearly done.
Locally operations have been coll
tinued satisfactorily. The work Of
erecting twenty-five stall round

a few days the depot in this city will
be ready for occupancy, and Agent

been erected here as has a coal chute
A good business is being done on the

Law Giving Department Supervision
Over Promotions.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 3.-lf In
surance Commissioner Taylor has his
way about it, there will be enacted
during the next legislative session a
law giving the insurance department
supervision over insurance promo
tions in the state. There is an in
sistent demand over the country for
legislation which will serve to protect
the public against the wiles of the pro-
fessional promoter and swindler who
exchange beautifully printed, but
worthless, stock certificates for per.
fectly good money. In his annual re-
port to the governor, Commissioner
Taylor will say:
"Under the present laws of North
Dakota this department has supervis-
ion over corporations writing insur.
ance. It can exercise no control
whatever over insurance promotions
Until within the last few years tue
need of control in that direction has
not been felt but the rapid develop
ment of the state has lately attracted
attention of professional promoters,
and it will be we'll to hedge about the
activities Of these gentlemen by stat
utory requirements and inhibitions.
Kansas has gained much favorable
prominence by the enactment OF what
is known as the "Blue Sky" law.
This is statute which requires all
corporations not chartered by the
state to secure a license before they
can sell stock to the citizens Of the
state. Licenses are granted only after
an examination by the officials au thor.
lied to issue them. It Is claimed
that millions Of dollars have been
saved in Kansas alone since March
16 last. when the law became opera
tive. But If it is important to as

lie was raw recruit In the big
show for the first time. Merkle came
from one of the best teams in the
profession. from the then obscure
Southern Mlchisan league. Most of
the season he had spent on the bench,
studying Fred Tenney's style Of play.
When Tenncy's underpinning went

Now, when Merkle pulled his over

situation as the one AT PiLLsburg ten
days previously, when Johnny Evers
and the Cubs tried TO win over the
Pirates on the same sort of tech

play had been rehearsed, II could not
have been better played Into Chi
cago's hands.
Chicago lost It's protest over Pitts

Chicago had certainly tipped Its mitt
by the ruction II raised over Pitts

could New York offer for not being

10 suppose that the coachers, Nc
Graw and Mathewson, were caught

Yet in the case of Merlsle 1t perhaps
