FILED SUIT FIRST.
John Dawson Beat Insurance Com
panies TO Court

In order to block the taking of the
fire insurance rate cases to the federal
courts, Attorney General John S. Daw-
son last night filed suit IN the Leaven-
worth county district court in which
he sought to restrain the so companies
in Kansas from raising their present
rates. The hasty action by the attor-
ney general was taken that he might
beat the insurance companies into the
courts with their proposed litigation
and thus block court order permitting
an increase of the rates for fire in
surance.
The fire insurance trouble has existed
for four years in Kansas. 1t started
when Charles Barnes ordered big re-
duction in rates and has never stopped
Frequent effort to have the old rates
restored have failed This week the fire
insurance company representatives
came to Topeka and held conference
of war with Insurance superintendent
Ike S. Lewis. But Lewis refused to in
crease the fire rates. The insurance
men then prepared to fight the old or
der on the basis that they have lost
thousands of dollars in Kansas since
its enforcement
1t was merely to block restraining
orders and the bringing of suits in the
federal court that Attorney General
John S Dawson fastened to Leaven-
worth and filed his. application for an
against an increase in rates
The application for an Injunction Will
probably be heard at an early date and
the suit to increase rates VIII then De

Wellington. Kan, June 1.-THE

year. AT Perth, in Sumner county, one
implement dealer has already set up

as 1t will be needed for threshing en-
gines, and in the same mail a letter
was received from the first station

Sergeant Crespin Is Old Indian
Ffghter-Win Retire.

Leavenworth, Kan. June ~
First Sergeant Louis G. Crespin, one

Skeleton Canyon, Old Mexico, Sep
TENDER 5, 1886, will be retired here

LOCUSTS IN CRAWFORD.
Lurking Around Ready for Fields
With Warm Weather.

Pittsburg, Kan, June 12.-Seventeen-
year locusts are lurking in Crawford
county woods making ready to attack
fields of growing grain. There are
enough of them to authorize the pre-
sumption that great damage will be
done. No damage has been done yet
and probably will not be until the
weather becomes warmer. The temper
ature has been so low lately that the
pests have lost ambition to leave trees,
but a few days of warm sunshine will
cause them to fly for the fields where
the female locusts will leave their
eggs on growing vegetation
The difference between the 17-year
species and the locust which flies
ordinarily, in appearance is that the
former has a robustness around the
eyes. The male sings much like the
ordinary insect.

Mark TWain's
Advertising
Story.

One of our contemporaries tells
a Mark Twain story about adver-
Using that is old enough to be new
again, and which is worth repeat
ing.
Once upon a time Twain was
the editor of a paper in Virginia
City, and a subscriber who found
a spider in his copy of the paper
wrote asking whether this was
good or bad luck.
Twain answered through his pa
per as follows:
"Old Subscriber-The find
ing of a spider in your copy
of The Enterprise was neither
good luck nor bad. The spider
was merely looking over our
pages to find out what mer-
chant was not advertising, so
that 1t could spin its web
across his door and lead a free
and undisturbed existence ever
after"
humor and exaggeration. but
large element of truth and COM
mon sense, too.
Let there be a little hint in this
story for you, Mr.. Merchant. If you
are a non-advertiser, or if you adj
vertise only at rare intervals.
No spider ever spins his web
across the door of busy adyer-
tiser.

WOMEN JUBILANT
Illinois Suffragists to Celebrate
EnfranchiSemen
Invite Wilson, Taft and ROOse.
welt to Participate.

pringfield, III. June 12.-President Will
son, former Presidents Taft and Roose-
welt and the governor of each state
where equal suffrage prevails have
been invited by telegraph to be present
at a womans jubilee to be held here
Friday night to celebrate the passage
of the bill granting suffrage to the
women of Illinois.
Despite their hurried preparations for
this feast, the elated women are going
ahead with their plans for further en-
reimbursement. it was announced to-
day. A constitutional convention is
one of these and number of schools
of instruction is another. The consti-
tutional convention, it is expected will
enfranchise women so that they might
vote upon every proposition now de-
cided by the ballots of the men. Inc
schools of instruction-of which Chi
cago will have severa1-will hold
courses in citizenship as well as practi-
cal lessons in voting by handnlarked
ballots and by machine. By the bill
adopted yesterday women may vote Tor
all offices which are not mentioned IN
the constitution of Illinois. That is
they NAL vote for presidential electors,
mayor, aldermen municipal judges and
minor local offices. They may vote for
assessors and members of the board OF
review. They may not vote for gov
ernor. lieutenant governor, other state
officers, members of the legislature,
county or district judges. congressman
or United States senators. The bill
gives as large a measure of suffrage
to women as the constitution permits
the legislature to grant. Women can
not obtain complete suffrage in this
state without a constitutional amend
ment or a constitutional convention.
The total male vote of the state is
approximately 100000 and the en-
of women will double it.
1t will be necessary to provide separate
ballot boxes for the women and re-
of present election ma
chinerY must be made.
