NOT INSANE, ONLY IN LOVE Commissioners for the Insane Have a Peculiar Cane to Pass Upon. August Doerner, a 17-year-old student n Unlon college, the Seventh Day Ad- ventist institution at College View, near Lincoln, Neb., was before the Board of Commisioners for the Insane yesterday on complaint of Julius Korgan, a well-known farmer living eight miles east of Council Bluffs, who charged young Doerner with being mentally deranged. The examina- tion before the commissioners developed a most remarkable story, in which religion and cupld played prominent parts. Young Doerner came fo the United States from Germany, where his father is one of the most prominent leaders fn the Seventh Day Adventist church, seventeen months ago, to take a course of study at Union college and prepare for the ministry, Therc he met and won the love of three young women, students at the institution. The the hearts of the opposite sex was cited in the testimony before the board as ome | of his *“peculiarities” and evidence of his being mentally weak. One of the young women who came under the spell of the young student was re- returned to her home in Kansas. The other two whose hearts had been eaptured by young Doerner were Miss Lena Korgan, Julius Korgan of this county, and Mi Lydia Kraus of Tampa, Kan. Both youns women considered themselves engaged to the youthful preacher. R Last May, Doerner who had been epgaged | at the college on a translation of the Ad- ventist church doctrine into German, be- came i1l from overwork and was sent forth to preach the doctrine and rest. He be- came a guest at the Korgan home, the family being ardent members of the Adventist faith. He fell sick and his mind , became clouded and he euffered from hallu- cinations. He was nursed back to health | by the family and again he and Miss Korgan plighted their troth and declared their love for each other. Mr. and Mrs. Korgan declined to recognize the engage- ment, for several reasons, the principal one being that the couple were too young. Young Docrner returned to Lincoln after he and Miss Korgan had each sworn to be true to one another. On the advice of his physician Doerner rested from his studies and sought outdoor employment. He found it in hueking corn. The manual labor im~ proved his health. In the meantime Miss Lydia Kraus had learned of young Doerner's attachment for Miss Korgan and she began to make trouble. She told her friends that the young corn-husking student had threatened to kill both her and himself, and that she dared not leave the house without & guard. Miss Kraus came to spend the Christmas holidays at the Korgan home and she told of young Doerner's threats. Mr. and Mrs. Korgan became fearful that possibly Doers ner might kill their daughter when re- fused permission to marry her, and as the young man was expected to spend the holi- days with them, Mr. Korgan decided to place his case before the commissioners for the insame. He flled an information against the young man, but withdrew it the next day at the solicitation of mem- bers of the family. Doerner persisted in his declaration that he would marry Miss Korgan, whether the parents wished it or not, and, it was alleged, threatened that it prevented he would kill the girl and him. self. This alarmed the parents of the young woman and resulted in young Doer- Der's arrest yesterday on & charge of in- sanity. The board discharged him and recom- mended that as soon as the young man could secure the comsent of his father and the means, he and Miss Korgan be married, but to this the parents of the later re- fused to listen.

Bdna Julla Hummer commenced suit for divorce In the district court yesterday from John Hummer, to whom she was married in Kansas City in 1884 and whom she al- leges deserted her in July, 1897. She asks that her maiden name of Julia Edna Beach be restored to her. T. J. Shugart and C. G. Ouren, trading & Ouren Seed company, began suit in the distriet | court yesterday against Mrs. A. M, Clinton to compel the specific performance on her part of a contract to sell them the buflding at 320 West Broadway now occupied by the | firm. It is alleged by the plaintiffs that Mrs. Clinton agreed to sell them the prop- erty for $7,000, and of this amount $500 was | patd. | An application for the removal of the | United States court of the personal injury damage sult of James Burke against the Chicago & Northwestern Rallway Company was filed yesterday by the defendant com. pany on the grounds that Burke is a re dent of the state of Nebraska.

PARTLY SUSTAINS AUDITOR State Exeontive Oouncil Issues Statement on Insurance Examination. TEACHERS FINISH UP THEIR LABORS Incoming Auditor is Checking Up the Securities In Possession of Pres- ent Incumbent—Ch (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, J 2.—(Special.)—The states executive council this evening lesued statement in relation to the controversy of the insurance companies with the pres. ent state auditor in regard to the examina. tion of eastern ingprance companies and the fees charged therefor. The statement only partially exonerates the state auditor. An opinion by Attorney General Mullan was included, in which the attori gen- eral holds that the law {s not exactly clear as to whether the state auditor has the authority to make the examinations with- out an order from the council, but he holds that under the head of forelgn insurance companies {s meant all those not in lowa. In regard to fees, he holds that the state auditor must make a report on examina- | tions and fees and make it a part of his official record. This has never been done. State Auditor Merriam presented a letter from Secretary Shaw, who was a member when Merriam first went into office, In which Shaw states that he recalls the discussion of the matter and the verbal authority given Merriam. This {s verified by ex-Secretary Dobson. | Mr. Merriam made the statement to the council that he has a record of his exam- inations and it is a part of his office record and he will include a statement of fees recelved. With this statement the matter will drop. The auditor is censurable for not having made a public record of his examinations before and of the fees re- ceived. No action will lte agalnst the state auditor by the state or its officlals and the matter of the reasonableness of fees is for the companies to decido. Teachers’ Association Adjou The closing day of the State Teachers’ assoclation meeting was without incident. The feature was the annual address of State Superintendent Barrett, in which he teviewed the progress of educational work in the state during the year. He presented satistics indicating that while the average monthly wages of male teachers shows un Increase, because of the smaller number of those who are engaged, the wages of female teachers show a decrease. He insisted that the state wust pay higher wages If the schools are to by kept going. He recom- mended tne Indidnd plan of regulating the wages by state law, by a system of fixing it in proportion to the grade of the teacher as shown on her certificate. Mr. Barrett highly commended the plan of rural school consolidation and the transpcrtation of pupils, which 1s gaining ground rapidly in the state, and each year sees & larger nun. ber of schools consolidated. In regard to manual training in = schools, he recom- mended that a course be provided for train- Ing teachers in this work at the State Nor~ mal school. The most important legisla- tion ever enacted by any one legislature was by the last one'in Iowa. The com- pulsory education law: was the most im. portant, and almost of equal importaneo was the one relating to mormal work in academies and high gchools, He sharply denounced the tendency to continue educa- tional work along the line of partisanship and said that competent educators and su- perintendents should be retained as long as they are useful. In the state association meeting, after the election of officers, as recommended by the committee last night, there were re- ports on the legislation accomplished and a gencral report on resolutions. The reso- lutions favor efforts for better salaries. The effort made to have the educational tinue. + Checking Up the Securit B. F. Carroll of Bloomfleld, who will next week succéed F. F.

An appeal to the me court has been taken in the case of the controversy over land at the Fort Madison penitentiary. A small tract of land belonging to the state and used as a part of the prison yard is claimed by R. R. CurMer. The trouble arose originally over some errors in the survey of the town.plat at Fort Madison. The Keokuk superior gourt decided in favor of the state.

It is probable that,the Towa building at the exposition in St. Louis will be some- what smaller than the plans which were selccted by the commission two weeks ago.

Regular Army Ofcers Have Several Grounds of Complaint. There are further complaints, some ot them well grounded, from army officers re- garding the new uniform regulations, says In many cases the heavy outlay required by the re- cent change has been a positive hardship, which would be still further increased by the additional modifications which have been proposed. It ie true that these pro- posed modifications are not extensive, but they would Involve an uggregate outlay of large proportions from officers who have al- ready been compelled to spend large sums under the new regulations. Whether the suggested changes are desirable is not the question at all. The point we urge is that any change which involves expense to offi- cers who have so recently been required to expend large sums for uniforms is unjust It would be only fair to stipulate when a radical change, like the recent one, is made in uniform, ‘that a clothing allowance should be granted to cover the cost of any modi- fieations ordered within a period of say two or three years. This is far better vhan any attempt to underbid the tailors by providing a portion of the uniform through the Quartermaster's department. To insist upon changes at the expense of officers in a uniform only a few months after its adoption is inconsiderate and unfalr. Many corporations employing large num- bers of men glive each man his first or sec- ond uniform elther free or pay part of the cost of it, and the emulation of their ex- ample by Uncle Sam would be an eminently creditable proceeding. Major General Cor- bin and others who contend that young officers ehould not marry unless possessed of resources in cddition to their army pay or until they have advanced to the rank of captain or major may find the uniform problem an ald to the general adoption of their views. The young lieutenzat who is required to plank down some hundreds of dollars for a uniform outfit without knowing how soon he may be compelled to hand over additional cash for changes in his toggery may pause to consider whether, under those | circumstances and with his slender pay, he has really any right to contract an alliance that would still further increase his annual outlay for clothing. | Another point in the regulations to which objection is made, and we think justly, is fling. i {HE ALLEGES DISCRIMINATION | Kearnay, Mo, Man Goes Before Interstate Oommerce Commiss.on. | sEcuRITY | FILES CHARGE AGAINST THE BURUNGTON: ' B Affirms Points West of Kansas City Carter’s Little Liver Pills. Are Favored by Lower Tariff on Live Stock Billed Throngh to Chicago. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.~The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad is made the defendant in a complaint filed with the Interstate Commerce commission by Gilbert { Barr ot Kearpey, Mo., who alleges the exaction of an unreasonable and unjust | tarifi on live stock. The complainant is a lve stock shipper and says that since O tober 4 last the railroad has compelied him to pay for the transportation of live stock In carload lote from Kearney to Chicago 2315 ceuts per 100 pounds, although a rea- sonable charge is 12 cents per 100 pounds. The complainant charges that during the time mentioned the defendant has bad in force on its lines a rate of 23% cents per | 100 pounds. applying upon live stock orig- Inating at Kansas City and shipped in car- load lots to Chicago, and another rate of 12 cents per 100 pounds, called a propor- tional rate, applying between Kansas City and Chicago on live stock originating at points west of Kansas City and shipped in carload lots to Kansas City in the first instance, and upon which the through rate from originating point to Chicago would not be Jess than 233 cents per 100 pounds, The complainant alleges that, although the 12-cent rate is published as a pro- portional rate, the defendant still allows shippera of live stock to use it without reference to the origin of thelr shipments and regardiess of whether rates have been paid thereon from points of origin to Kan- sas City, entitling such shippers to the proportional rate from Kausas City to Chi- cago, According to the complaint, the defend- ant, by compelling the complainant to pay the higher rate, while exacting from other shippers for a like service the low rate, is subjecting the complainant and the locality from which he makes shipments to undue and unreasonable prejudice and disadvan- tage and 1s violating the interstate com- merce law.

While the great mass of his subjects are still comfortably asleep in bed King Bdward has risen and s seated at his desk, deep in the consideration of state documents; for, | though his majesty does not lie down with | the lamb, he gets up with the milkman. Tt s always after midnight before the king is in bed, but by 7 o’clock he is astir. | Very often he rises a couple of hours earlier | in order to keep abreast with the enormous quantity of work which presses on him. At/ Windsor he usually attends the early serv. ice at St. George's, and has accomplished the day's work of an ordinary man before most of his subjects have finished break- fast. This spectacle of the king, up and doing at 6 a. m. while so many of his subjects stroll lelsurely into their offices five hours later, is notable and suggestive. Americans gn as one reason for thelr marvelous progress that New Yorkers are at business at 8:30 or 9 a. m., while Londoners, are a tull hour later. There are no harder workers than mod- ern monarchs, and they, at all events, ap- preciate the value of the morning hours. The German emperor breakfasts punctualy every morning at 7 o'clock. Very often he has been up for hours. Not very long ago the colonel of the First Dragoons turned up twenty-five minutes late at the ¢ a. m. parade. To his horror he found the kalser waiting with the regl- ment. Without a word the emperor mo- tioned the officer to his post and watched the drill in silence, but on that evening the colonel recelved from his imperial master a neat little alarm clock. Soon after 8 'a. m. the emperor fs at the forelgn office, in consultation with Count von Buelow. His ally, the king of Italy 18 likewlse an early riser, and requires his officers and servants to be the same. Soon after his accession he mude a round of morning visits to the government offices. At each he arrived at the stated time of opening, and smoked cigarettes while walting events. When the early bird of the clerks arrived—an hour late—he found, not the worm, but the king, awaiting him. Very plainly were the heads of departments informed that the king required strict punctuality and attendance to business One result of this action of Victor Emman- uel's 1s that the Itallan civil service esti- mates have been considerably reduced by dismissing clerks whom regular hours ren- dered superfluous. The czar of Russia is another of the 7 o'clock breakfast brigade, while the Em- peror Francis Joseph Is astir even earlier It must be a very early riser who would get the better of the mikado. The ruler of Britain’s new ally holds his councils of state at 4 a. m. What's in a Name? for several years. EVERY MAN HIS OWN EULOGIST. Up-to-Date Methods for the Modern Funeral, A man who died the other day in Col- orado took time by the frontisplece. He wrote his own funeral notice, and he made later period. “They sald that, in view of all the circumstances and considering the high price of veal, they thought an old ben was good enough for we," it a long one. Therein he was wise. Yea, his wisdom was of a surprising order of excel'ence. By writing his own speech, says the St. Cleveland Plain Dealer: “Yes, sir, I tell you that his name will go ringing down the chambers of time when most names of this century are-long forgotten. It is & name that represents the apex of human en- | deavor, the ne plus ultra of applicd intelll- gence.
