BIG INSURANCE
ON OPERA STARS

NEW YORK, March 10.-Violinists
have insured their precious fingers
and pianists have taken similar pre-
cautions against loss, but the vocal
chords OF an entire opera company
have never been insured until the Chi.
cago-P philadelphia opera company
started last week on its western trip.
That organization was insured for any
loss that 1t might sustain through fall
ure to give a performance.
Andreas. DIPPED, manager of the
company, and ]. 8. Hirsh have been
figuring for some time on a policy
which might protect the organization
against loss through its inability to
give a performance while on its west
ern tour.
According to the terms of the poll
cies the company is protected against
any cause which might prevent an
advertised performance The COM
pany is to give sixty-five perform
ances. The average guarantee is $10,-
600 from the local managers in cities
to be visited.
Before the tour began the Chicago
Opera Company, which requires three
special trains for its transportation,
had TO pay out $3.50, 600. of which one
half went for railroad fares. So it
was important for DIPPED to take
every precaution against loss through
missing guaranteed performances.
The policies cover every possible
contingency. Should Mary Garden
sprain her shoulder and thus compel
the cancellation of date, the COM
pany will be reimbursed to the extent
CT 100000 Delayed trains or the
blocking of tracks, quarantine regula-
tions, fire, strikes, or riots are all
provided for in the insurance.
The total amount of the insurance
is $1,267 900, SO that in case of any
accident which might happen before
the first performance and compel the
abandonment of the whole tour. the
company would receive the full
amount of it's guarantee The prem
iCm on the E2seies amounted to $751;
600.
1t is the first time in the history of
American insurance companies that
such protection has ever been consid-,
cred. The amount and importance of
the persons insured made it possible
to place the risks, which were in the
main taken in London, although the
American companies are represented
in the transaction.

Benson Bros. have let the con-
tract for the erection of their new
bank building on the old opera
house corner to AtwelI & Fitch of
MarceIine, who will begin the pre-
liminary work of clearing the
ground next Tuesday. The build
ing will be two-story, 40 feet wide
and JAP feet long on the north side
and 100 feet long on the south
side, with warehouse extending
to the alley. The south room will
be arranged for a store building.
The bank will be on the corner and
the east end of the north room
will be cut up into Office rooms.
The Masons will have 80 feet of
the upper floor on the west, which
will be fitted up as lodge room,
and the arrangement OF the re-
naming space upstairs has not
yet been decided upon. The stair
way will be at the rear of the bank
on the north side, and cement
floors will be put in the lowe r
rooms. The building will be faced
with pressed brick, with steel
ceilings downstairs. and will be
modern in every particular and as
nearly fireproof as possible to make
it. It will cost about $40, 900, and
will be a big improvement to the
business part of town.

Pershing OueIIs MOrOs.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-F Fur
ther details Of the fierce fighting
that resulted in the complete over
throw of the Moros in the Philip
pines are contained in a delayed
dispatch from Brigadier-G General
'Pershing received at the war de-
partment.
The decisive victory of the
American troops, General Pershing
says, probably will end oHtlawry
in Jolo for some time.
When the last Moro stronghold
was captured Sunday after hard
fighting the attack was made by
two companies of the Philippine
scouts, commanded by Capt.
George G. Charlton, supported by
First Lieut.. Thomas F. Van Malta
Jr., with mountain guns and two
companies of Philippine scouts.
General Pershing confirms pre-
vious reports that the American
losses were six killed and seven
wounded, all enlisted men in the
Philippine scouts.
The Moro losses are unestimated
although known to be~heavy.

RURAL HIGH SCHOOL At FORkER
Consolidation Of Three Districts Is
First Step Toward Better Schools

FHSt OteP AOWdAu DetteE OCnOOIS
The first consolidated school
district and rural high school to be
established in Linn county under
the Buford- Colley consolidation
law passed by the recent state
legislature will embrace the terri
tory formerly included in the
FOrker, Frakes and Boomer dis
triets, part of the latter lying in
Charlton county, and also takes
in some of the country west of
the Frakes district, and will have
an area of approximately eighteen
square miles.
The consolidation was decided
upon at a special election at Forker
Friday, by a vote of Al to Y.
Ross Louden, A, FL. Fay, G. A.
Read, E. 6. Cole, Fl. E. Welsh
and NJ. F. Andrews are the di-
rectors of the new district. Mr..
Louden is president of the board
and Ira B. Frakes secretary and
treasurer.
Graded schools will be main
taihed at all school houses in the
district, and the Forker meeting
house will probably be used as a
high school building until other
arrangements can be made. Under
the new law, if five acres or more
are provided for a school ground
and the high school building is
properly constructed. the state will
pay one-fourth of its cost, but not
to exceed $4,000.
Fred Clinefelter will teach at
Forker, Miss Anna Packer at the
Frakes and Miss Kaye at the
Boomer school. The high school
teacher has not been elected. Just
how much high school work will be
done has not been decided, but to
get state aid at least two years Of
high school work must be given,
with one year of agriculture.
The people around Forker have
been trying for several years to
provide better educational facilities
for their children. Heretofore, in
order to give them education be-
yond eighth grade work they have
had to send their children away to
school, not always with satisfactory
results. Under the new system
they can have them at home out
side of school hours and more of
them will have the advantage of a
high school education.
Another benefit will be the
equalization of taxes. The three
districts varied so much in size
that in order to raise about the
same amount of money the tax
payers in one district have had to
levy twice as much as one of the
others and nearly twice as much as
the other. Under the new system
the state pays part of the expense,
so that the difference in taxes will
be very little and should not be a
burden to anyone.
The Legislature appropriated
$50, 600 for the purpose of aiding
schools of this kind for the next
two years, and only three con-
ditions are prescribed: The dis
triet must provide adequate build
ings; it must maintain at least two
years of approved high school
work; aud it must give an ap-
proved course Of one year in
agriculture.
