A REPUBLICAN VETERAN CLUB. 014 Soldiers Organize at Dubuque For Political Purposes—Tooth Pulls ers Quarreling—The Cons ductors' Building. The Hartford of the West. Drs Morses, Ia, May 13.—|Special to Tne Bee.|lowa is getting to be quite a stato for insurance business. Des Moines has been called the Hartford of the weet, it has 80 many insurance companies located here. But the interest which the Iowa authorities have taken in protecting the people against fraudulent insurance compaaies, has given them confidence to give a good patronage to companies that are reliable and worthy. The insurance department of the state audi- tor's office 18 not only one of the most im- portant branches of his work, but is also one of the most important de- partments of all the public offices of the state, Its business has grown 1o such proportions that it calls for the undivided at- tention of several olerks, and the auditor himself, gives it personal oversight. Audi- tor Lyons has just prepared and given to the printer his annual report on this subject, It will be somoe weeks before the report will be ready for the public, but, from advance sheets, some interesting information can bo obtained. Since his last report was issued, he has admitted fivo firo insurance com- panies to do_business in the state. During the pust year he has revoked the certificate of but one company, which speaks weli for the good character of the business they are doing. There are twenty-seven life com- panies, two of which do accident business ulso. and one that, does an ex=lusively acci- dent business in tho state, Of this number four are Iowa companies, one joint stock company and three mutual. During 1558 there were thirty-one mutual benott asso- ciations doing business in the state, and of this number eighteen were lowa associations. Since January 1, 1880, thirty companics have been granted certificates, There are now 114 fire insurance companies authorized to do business in this state, sevonteen of which are lowa companies. There are 114 mutual, fire and tornado asso- ciations operating in the state under a special provision of the code. There are at present twenty-nine distinctive Iife companies au- thorized to do business inthe state. The auditor makes some special recommendations with reforence to what are known as “fra- ternal” associations, that do au insurance business. On tho theory that these frater- nals were organized for social rathdr than business purposes, they have enjoyed an ex- emption from the supervision, which other associations have had. Somc of these frater- nal associations, like the order of railroad conductors, Masonic Benevolent association, ete., ete., have voluntarily reported to the in- surance department the vesults of their in- surance work. But the auditor intimates that there is a host of snide compunies thal under the guise of being a benevolent au; fraternal society, really carry on an insur- ance business subject to no legal control, and auite disposed to swindle the unfor- tunates that are duped by them. So he recommends that the law be amended so to requiro all associations organized unddit the laws of the state to make roports to tife insurance department, and be subject to ex- amination by it, the same as other asses ment associations are, And also that the same requivements be exacted of all such fraternal societies that may bo organized iu other states, but do business in this state, State Dental Association. Des Moixes, Ia, May 12.—|Special to Tue Bee.]—The recent meeting in this city of the State Dental association developed a good deal of bad blood, over the management of the dental department of the state uni- versity, The public gencrally has known very little of the fight going on between the old faction and the new one, among the den- tists of Jowa. Theold men, who organized the society, and in due time organized tha dental department of the staie university, and contributed the money, to support it be- fore the state adopted it, are very much in- censed over the removal of two of the old professors at the university. The university scems to have a perennial quarrel of some kind on its hands, and a row had grown up in the dental department, whose faculty failed to agree with each other. The regents took a hand, by cutting off the heads of two of the teachers, who happened tb be two of the old-time friends and strongest support- ers of the state society. Along came the legislative committee, and it made u report reflecting upon the man whom the regents had promoted over the beads of the deposed rofessors. 8o the tooth-pullers had to fight t out in their association meclin? here. They took sides for and against the deposed pro- fessors, and for and_against the legislative investigating ugmmllwc'l report. Moet of the older men oY the association were for the deposed professors, and for the committee report, ost of the younger men, who have been under the teaching and influence of the favored professor, 1n recent years, were for him, and against the report. But they were defeuted, after a long and bitter fight, It is probable that the fight may be renewed next winter, when the legislature maets, aud one or two regents are to be clected. Music Teachers' Association. Des Moixes, Ta., May 12.—(Speoial to T@e Beg.]—The principal event of public in- terest in southern Iowa the past week was the annual meeting of the Music Teachers’ State association. This organization is com- paratively young, but already takes high rank in the state, and its meeting at Mount Pleasant was a great success. Its member- ship includes tho leading music teachers in the colleges and public schools of the state, together with prominent musiciauns and pri- vate teachers of music. It devoted three days to its work at Mount Pleasant. The programme of exercisos was largely devoted to matters of @ purely technical character, that chiefly interested the members of the association, But interspersed were concerts of & popular order by the leading performers in the assocfation, The association gave special attention to the subject of music in the public schools, and had an example of some cxcellent results that were obtained by the system taught by Mrs, Jackson, wife ot the superintendent of the schools of Mount Pleasant. It 1s believed that a united and systematic effort will be made to have music intrcduced into all of the schools of the state us & part of the regular work of - struction. It is now & part of the course of study in many of the cities of Nwa, Ihouml not in all. The next meating of tie assocla- tion will be held in Des Moines in May, 1800. Prof. Rommel, the president of the Musical Conservatory at Mount Pleasant, was re- electod president of the state association. Al Regpublican Veterans. Dgs Moixgs, Ia, May 13.—[Special to Tuk Bee.|—There bas been organized at Dubuque, a republican club, composed en- tirely of old soidiers who are republicans. It is understood that they want to take s hand in politics, us old soldiers, and as they ‘would not be allowed to do under the consti- tution of the Grand Army. They think that the old suldiers are not always getting fair play in the matter of offices, and they hope to improve their condition by this organiza- tion. There s some talk that similar or- Ranizations may be made in other parts of the state. But as the old soldiers in lowa ha ,enarnlly got what they wanted heretofore, there doesn’ seem to be much need of this new alliance. e —— Levee Protection.

Sroux In, May 13.—[Special to Tnr Bre.| re is a disagreoment be- tween the Chidhgo & Northwestern railrond company, and the Sioux City & Ogden, as to the rates to be ehargad by the former for the use of its bridge in transferring materials for the construction of the latter. Tho Sioux City & Ogden complains that the Chicago & Northwestern charges extortionate rates. French, presidont of the Manhatt Loan and Trust company, of New York, who i8 the chiof hmnr&mu Sioux City & Ogden enterprise, privatelyaays that tho latter will cortainly buildia brfdge of its owa if the Chicago & Norlhwestern company does not rocedo from its position. Its charter for the bridge here proyides that it shail be open to all companies at reasonable rates, to be fixed on dispute and appeal by the secretary of war. But MF. French says tbat neverthe- less, it is in the pawer of the proprietary compamy to 0 manipulate things that tho bridge will be practically unavailable to all other companies, and that the only way out of it is to build anotter bridge. The Coniluctors' Bullding. Srovx Orry, Ta,, May 12.—|Special to T Bre.]—Friday night a large meeting of citi- zens was held in the court house to consider means for securing for Sionx City the build- ing which the Order of Railway Conductors of America will ercct at_somo point in Iowa. The contemplated building is to cost not less than §285,000 nor moro than §250,000, and is 10 be used mainly for ofice for insurance, banking and other business interests of the order, which is very large, including the conductors of Canadian and Moxican rail- ways as well as those of the United States. The building assooiation has boen_incorpor- ated undor the laws of Iowa. Cedar Ravids and several other Iowa oitics will be strenu- ous contestants with Sioux City for the loca- tiou of the building. Cedar Rapids has ul- ready decided to dunate two fine business lots, worth $40,000, and to subscribe for Af- ty-one shares of stock. A committee is vis- itiug business men, to secure subscriptions, to bo used in biddig for the building. A Bullet Hole in His Skull. Masox Ciry, Ia,, May 12.—(Speoial to Tir ;] —The remains of an unknown man have been found in the brush, ‘a short dis- tance north of Charles City.

A large amount of paving is to be dege this year, and tho board of public worlks f#d advertised for bids. It is thouglit that t§9 poard favors wood block paving, but thofPommercial exhange and many citizens wdit to have brick, as it will afford emiployme##for more neople, and keep the bulk of tho expenditures here ‘at home, Fine brick can be manufactured from tho clay that is found g0 abundantly in this vicinity, and as thére #re brick factories waiting for a job, the sentiment in favor of giving & good part of the paving to the briclk men is very strong, Commercial Exchange Building.

The building improvements for the season prom- ise to be quite large. The Proposed Y. M. C. A. Building. Des Morxes, Ia., May 12.—[Special to Tnz —The ground has been broken for the new Y. M. C.

It is to cost £50,000, independent of the lot, which is the corner of Fourth and Grand ayenue, and costs $15,000. ‘The building will be hand- samo architecturally, and very useful in the different departmonts of its work.

The number of federal licenses in this city will_run up to over seventy-tive before the month closes. ey Propaging Land for Grass In preparing the land for gr: not always wise to stir the soil -very deep by plowing, especially if the sub- soil is poor, says the Breeders’ Gazette. By keeping the fertility close to the surfase, with shallow cultivation the young grasi plants have much greater opportunity for getting a start and maintaining themseolves than if they are compelled to begin life upon barren sub-soil fresh turned up by the plow. Experience has taught that prairie and wood lands can be converted into fine pastures without gtirring the virgin Boil, by scattering #seed upon the un- plowed soil. Oftonll farmers oxpress a desire to break ug#he old pasture lot, expecting that by reseeding the grass product will be greatly increased. We think this idea is usually incorrect, and urge that the old pastures be left undis- turbed. In England there is a saying that a man can be knighted in a min- ute, but it requires a hundred years to make & lawn. Many of our old s)utureu are bettor now, after o geueration has passed, than ever before, and it would be a great pity to disturb them in any way, unless to fertilize by surface munurlnfi. An examination of these pastures will show the soil richest near the surface, and this is just where the fertility should be. It works down rapidly enough by the rains to be util- ized by the grass roots. Botter than to disturb the pastures by lowing and reseeding is the plan of Kaedhn r them with manures scattered on in the fall, or by feeding bran and other foods rich in “fertilizérs to the catile which pasture on them, so that the droppings be utilized. Manuring land by fecding the cattle in summer is ad- vantageous in several ways, not least of which that the manure disposed of without cost, and is applied to the field without waste. Hardened masses of droppings can easily be broken up and distributed each spring by running a drag over the pastures. Pl S S Frames at whclesale prices.

A Oorrespondont Oorrals Him In a Toronto Hotel. “YIELD UP OR I'LL GIVE YOU UP.” The Doctor Pacifics the Young Man By Hinting at a Harrowing Tale That Is to Be Disclosed Bye-and-Bye “T Will a Tale Unfold."—Cronin. Ciorao, May 13,—A special dispateh from Toronto, Ont., says Dr. Cronin returned to that city Saturday afternoon and was cor- nered in his hotel by & correspondent who knew him in Chicago. Cronin at first was very loath to talk, but on the correspondent throatening to disclose his presence to the detectives, he became more communicative. He said, in substance, that he came to Chicago from St. Louis soveral years ago after consulting with intimate frignds, and because he found that the great Irish field was to be entered either at Chicago or New York. He went to Chicago armed with good letters of intro- duction and soon cstablished himself there. Cronin then went on to assert that he soon discovered that large quantities of the money being received by certain prominent mem- bers of the Irish National league were not handled proper and that not more than three-fourths of it ever reached Ireland. “I know,” said Cronin, “that at lehst £85,000 was gobbled up by certain persons in Chicago, and when I began to call the turn on them, they tried to scare me off, and, finding that a failure, they tried to bribe me. That woula not work, and their next move was to introduce me to Le Caron, giving his name as Beach, in order that he might pump me and damage me in any way he could. He got very little out of me, however, and that means . failed. I havo been warned several times to get out of the country by friends, and assured that my life was in dun;‘:ar, but'up to last Saturday [ felt that I could hold my own. Last Satur- day, however, I was put in possession of un- questionable proof that the Clan-na-Gael so- ciety had decided that my life should be taken. A man was appointed as my executioner and preparations were in active progress to accomplish the deed. 1 made up my mind at once to fly. You know the rest.” “Did you plan,” asked the correspondent, “for a man to call at your office in Chicago and request you to go out to the ice house to attend a patient?” ‘“T'hat I will not answer,” respon®ed the doctor. When asked what move he intended to make next, the doctor. at first refused to an- swer, but finally said he would get to France as 8001 18 possible. “I left some very important documents in Chicago, “'and only hope that I can get to a country where I can be safe. Then I will make some disclosures, which will open the eyes of the public generally and make tho hair stand on the heads of several Chicago and New York gemilemen, The Conklins | have made fools of themselves over the whole matter. ~ According to the instruc- tions, I left with them they should not have opened their mouths until I was safely out of the country. But it is the same old story. Tell a woman anything, und you are sure to get the worst of it.” Cronin indicated that a certain Methodist minster had caused his trouble, but would not disclose his name.

Conwell inows nothing of Cro- nin and never heard of Le Caron until_the latter’s appoarance as an Mforaer in Lon- don, "The man Charles Long, who s said to have discovered Cronin in Toronto, and who is sending out Interviews from there with the doctor, is the person, Conwell says, through whom Cronin, while 1o Chicago, sentthe re- jected manuscript mentioned ' above, and through whom the document was returned Conwell re- IN A BOA'S COILS, A Hunter's Thrilling Exporience in India. In company with & half-breed who combined the voeations of woodman an |1 hunter, I stumbled suddenly on a lurge specimen of the crotalus mutus slowly winding its way among the lea debris of the forest, s a writer in the Indin Statesm For some time it was aiffioult to discern the scaly folds of the snake through the brown mass of decaying foliage, but havin, reached a clear spot the reptile coiled around a low stump and propared for action, Abouta yard of the body next to the head was contracted into numer- ous sharp curves not unlike o cork- sorew, while the yollow eye gleamed with a baleful light. Thero was little fascination about these orbs and no mistaking the mualig- nant intentions of their owner. A stick brought within reach of that mor- tal coil was struck almost with the rapidity of lightning, no matter how swiftly withdrawn. This was affectod by the instantancous straightening of the shortcurves into which this por- tion of the body had been contracted. Even the wily mongoose would have needed all of his marvelous agility to avoid tho deadly stroke if once within range. The reach was about a yard, and the assault was delivered horizon- tally somo six inches from the ground, directly toward the assailant. The hunter, who had hitherto kept a re- spectful distance, as he alleged the snuko could spring, was eventually persnaded w approach sufficiently near to strike it with a ten-foot pole. At the first blow the heavy coils re- laxed from the stump and the creature appeared dead or stunned. The writer at once grasped the neck about two inches from the head and raised the head partly from the greund to exam- ine it. As thourh galvanized into lifo by the touch, the crotalus seemed at onco to over its energies, and slowly made a couple of turns uround the thigh and right arm of the would-be captor. The constricting power exer- cised was such that the hand grasping the neck began to lose }x)wor. and the writer realized the awful predicament into which his temerity had led him. Little could be done with the free loft hand, while the *‘scaly torror” began slowly to withdraw his head from the relaxing graspof the right. Ifor some seconds the trembling wood- man _appeared deaf to entreaty, and could not be persuaded to apply a noose or liana to the snake’s neck. The largest serpents becomes paralyzi when properly noosed, and are readily dragged along the ground helpless asa log. Justas the snnke’s head seemed about to ooze through the numbe fingers, the half-breed screwed up his courage sufliciently to apply the liann as directed, with the result that the brute relaxed its coils, and was dragged down to a neighboring stream, hung up and skinned. [t menasured eight feet tiveinches, and was ubout as thick in the largest part of the body as the calf of aman’s leg. The fangs, which were careful ex- tracted, measured one and a quarter inches in length, and were hollow to within a short distance of the point, where on the inner side lay the orifice through which the poison was ejected by the action of the se of the fang on the bag in which 1t was secreted. In squeeziug the bag a small quantity of poison, a yellow fluid, passed down the hollow in the tooth and gatherad into a tiny drop of concentrated death. The stomach contained two woodrat: the size of guinea pigs, one partially digested, the other recently swullowed. ———— Hard Wood. Twelve and sixteen-inch hard wood.
