used there a while, it was taken to
ST. Paul, Minnesota; and in 1858 1t
was again moved to Sioux Falls,
town on the Big Sioux river in Da-
kota So, that, on this press was
printed the first paper published in
Iowa; the first in western Wiscon-
sin; the first in Minnesota; and the
first in Dakota.
I'm March, 1862, after this press
had been used at Sioux Falls about

Evidence which would seem to sub

While at the Jackson prison, Mrs.
Collins maintained that she was limo

careless. She also stated that one
of the things which made her more
sure that it was a frame-up to allow

Lansing-Big increases over the first

in the report of the industrial accident
board for the first six months OF 1918.
In all lines, the figures show quite
an increase from the number of fatal
accidents TO the number of employees
who are now under the workmen's
compensation act
The first of July, 1915, there were
Is, 106 employers who were under the
law, now there are 1929 and they
employ approximately 100000 men and
women.
The total number of accidents for
the first half OF 1915 is 6,219, while
the last six months there have been
1869. Total compensation paid in 1915
amounted to $5S4.550, while this year
it has been S04,969. Compensate &C
cidents numbered all told in 1915 s.
637 while the first half of this year
they jumped to $500 Accidents of a
partial permanent injury, numbering
436 for the 1915 period, and this year
there were 606. Fatal accidents for
the first half of 1915 numbered lac
and this year 1872.
Medical and hospital expenses at
tendant upon the accidents up to July
l, 1915, amounted to $70,256 while
so far this year they have totaled
$685.
THE large increase in the number
OF accidents is directly due to the in
creased number of employees at work
in the various industries of the states.
The industries of the state vary in
character, and furnish a sufficiently
broad field for the law of average TO
operate on. so that the fluctuation in
the number of accidents from time to
time directly represents the proper
tionate number OF employees at work
in the various industries.
