Special to Timeo-Republican.
Des Moines, June 20. - Governor
Clarke will probably announce on his
return to his desk, after a visit to his
father in Davis county, the appoint
ment of Emory H. English as insur-
ance commissioner. The appointment
would have been announced long ago
but for the reluctance Of Mr.. English
to accept the place. He has finally
consented.
Mr. English's familiarity with insur.
ance matters Is well known by the gov
ernor. 1t is recalled that the governor.
as speaker Of the house, on two occas-
ions, appointed Mr.. English. then a
member Of the legislature, to be chair
man of the Insurance committee Of ths
house. AS such chairman he handled
some Of the most important legislation
affecting insurance business that has
passed thru the general assembly. He
had great deal to do with writing in
to the law some Of its best features.
An effort has been made here to ar
ray the entire insurance interests OF
the city against him. 1t seems that
this has not been at all successful;
in fact, there is marked division of
sentiment and several of the ablest of
the insurance men have made 1t known
that those who are undertaking to line
up all the insurance interests against
Mr.. English dc not have their SYM
pathy. The selection Of Mr.. English
will meet with general approval.
Ne. New Office.
This Is virtually not the establish
ment of new office. but the rather a
change for the insurance clerk in the
auditors office is in fact commits
sioner. The same force is transferred
to the new office. There are no
changes or increases in salaries. The
work will go on substantially as at
present and without interruption.
There being no provision as yet made
for an extensive vault for the care Of
the insurance securities, now aggre-
eating some fifty million dollars, the
securities remain in the custody Of the
auditor Of state until next winter, when
1t will be possible to have arranged
en- office with vault space fo. those
mortgages and bonds owned by the
companies.
Selection Of Mr.. English for the place
makes it unnecessary for the governor
to appoint a temporary auditor Of
state, but It will necessitate his selec-
ton Of new secretary. place really
(, harder to fill than almost any other at
the state. house. y -

INDIAN RELICS
An Unusually Valuable Collection
Loaned to Department of His
tory.

Pierre, April 10.-Probably the
most unusual collection of arrows
and other Indian carved pieces in
existence in private hands has been
presented to the department of his
tory by Russell Saunders, custodian
of the capitol building. Mr.. Saun-
ders has found the entire collection
of eXquisitely carved and fashioned
arrows within a radius of Is miles
of Pierre. The collection has been
mounted on 81 mats, each over a
foot in diameter, and each mat con-
tains 100 or more specimens. Thumb
pieces with which Indians seraped
hides, and other stones with which
they sharpened bodkins and needles
are included in the collection. Mr..
Saunders has spent nearly 20 years
collecting these relics and has been
offered a considerable amount for
the collection, but values it himself
too much to part with it, except as
a loan to the department of history.

Pass Away Within Twenty-Four
Hours of Each Other.

Butler, April 10.-To die within
"a hours of each other was the fate
of Mr.. and Mrs. III. T. Hanson, pio-
neer residents of this vicinity. Mrs.
Hanson died first, and exactly "a
hours later her husband followed
her in death. Mr.. Hanson was II
years of age and his wife was 70.
The death of each was caused by the
intirmities of old age combined with
slight attacks of pneumonia. They
were married in 1854, and in a few
months, had they lived, would have
celebrated the sixtieth anniversary
of their marriage. They came to
America from Norway in 1870 and
located in Pope county, Minnesota,
where they resided until 1891, when
they came to South Dakota and made
entry of the homestead neal Butler
which was their home at the time
they died. They have five living
children, all of whom now have
grown to manhood and womanhood,
and all of whom yet reside in this
part of the state.
