State Life Insurance Plan.

Wisconsin will be ready to en-.
gage in the business of life insur-
ance within a few weeks. Commits
sioner Ekern, who is doing the final
work on a schedule of rates, is reti.
cent about naming a definite date
upon which the state will be prepared
to consider applications for policies,
because such announcements in the
past have been followed by a flood of
letters seeking information about the
plan that the state will conduct insur-
ance business that swamped the de-
partment. Judging from early indi-
cations the state will do a large insur-
ance business, as Mr.. Ekern has re-
ceived hundreds of queries asking
about rates.
The law" said Commissioner
Ekern, provides for life insurance
and annuities on a basis that is abb
solutely safe. 1t uses the same as
sumptions of death claims and for In
terest earnings as the safest Ameri-
can old-line life insurance companies"
The rate of premiums, said Mr..
Ekern, will probably not be much
lower than those of private insurance
companies, but the security would
doubtless be considered better The
liability of the state, however, is not
to be beyond the amount of money
contained in the insurance funds.

a dark blue suit with brass buttons
at intervals over his clothing, took
the young fellow for a walk, bringing

necessary to supply the needs of a

THE YANKToN DROWNING.

turtner Particulars Given as to SAD
Accident in Missouri.
Martin Mines and Anton Tilke were
victims Of the treacherous Missouri
river, having been swept away by the
raging current of that stream which
at present is higher and flowing with
greater swiftness than 1t has for
years. Mr.. Mines and his son, with
Mr.. Tilke, were crossing the river
from the Nebraska side when a large
wave struck their small boat and
caused il to capsize. Neither the
the younger Mines nor Tilke could
swim, and after the father had seen
his son safely on a large piece OF
floating ice he turned his attention to
rescuing his companion, but his eff
forts were futile and both men were
seen by the young Mines gong down
the river apparently to rise,
amid the mass Of debris Of all kinds
which was afioat in the river, owing
to the breakup Of the upper Missouri
and the Yellowstone. Young Mines
tells of a thrilling experience in which
he miraculously escaped death in the
water. He leaped from one ice cake
to another drifting with the rapidly
flowing current until he was seen
about four miles down stream from
the scene of the accident by Theodore
Gigge, who, with the aid of his son,
rescued the Mine boy with a rope
which was thrown him. The young
man is under great strain from the
hours Of exposure in the cold water
and his narrowing experience lug
mented by the tragic death Of his
father whom he saw GO to his death in
the raging torrent. The bodies have
not been recovered and no hopes of re-
gaining them is entertained until the
flood subsidies.
