elected U S senator from Idaho is a son of the late Claggett editor of the Keokuk The Judge was a Dem ocrat but the son has been a enn since he reached his majority On morning the Dubuque Times published an obituary notice of Oen Sherman in its editorial columns vhile at the same time its telegraph columns showed that the supposed lead man was a trifle better The Du buque Ledger whose editor doesnt ove the Times any more commented on Saturday upon the inconsistency of he Times and suggested that the tele raph editor of The Times and the heavy editor compare notes occasion illy or quit and go to sawing wood On the third page of the same issue of The Ledger is a long article under a telegraph head dated that day and that Sherman was better and hat his recovery was hoped for On the first page of the same paper was a notice of the Generals death The Ledger man can go over and sympa with Judge Utt now and resolve to edit his telegraph with a saw Attorney General Stone appears to nave somewhat modified his former opinion that no right to any cash premiums after the necessary to obtain a charter is obtained In a recent letter to Aud Lyons lie says Section 1138 appears to provide that cash premiums may be paid to mutual insurance companies in part and deposit notes taken in part It may be that this provision should be so construed as to allow cash premiums to be received when insurance is taken after the original deposit notes are filed and that such cash premiums shall bear the same proportion to the deposit note taken at the same time that the orig inal paid in cash shall bear to the amount of deposit notes originally given To this extent it may be that cash premiums can be allowed to be taken by mutual companies but if thi provision in section 1138 means more than this it is repugnant to the body of insurance laws in this state in my judgment In regard to the insurance laws of the state as a whole he says I think it must be apparent thai there is much confusion in our insur ance laws as they now stand and that natural lines of distinction between the different kinds of insurance have not been recognized It there fore appears that general provisions are sought to be made applicable to two kinds of companies when in the na tare of things it is impossible to them Since there is no way by there can be accumulations or in a mutual company it is difficult t see how its accumulations or profits can be invested In view of the apparent of some of the provisions of the insur ance law to the whole system of laws itself it is difficult to determine pre what construction should be given some of the provisions in Iowa Harrison living near Algona las a horse 3 years old which is over 18 high very large force of men are en aged putting up ice at

anyhow Railway Tracks in Cities For many years the most beautiful part of the lake front at Chicago hat been a thorn in the flesh of both inhab and strangers on account of the vasb expanse of railway tracks that cover it If strangers visiting Chicago wished to get a view of the lake just the most attractive point they did it al tho risk of their lives and in face of the plainly posted warning that it was dan gerous There are acres and acres of these railway tracks and there is not t moment day or night that they are not oc more or less by screaming smoke belching monsters of engines with or without trains attached It is now proposed to sink all those tracks and gather them into a groat tun nel whose top shall be level with Michi gan avenue A park will cover the spo now filled by the tracks Tho can bo perfectly ventilated and by electricity If this can bo done a great ugliness as well as danger wil the lovely lake front at Chicago And if it can be done in time for th Worlds fair then the western city wil have won a line feather for her cap Indications are that in tho future al railway tracks will hav to do so through underground tunnels Provision ought to bo made for thi railroads are built large towns It will bo the solution o tho difficult problem of rapid transit Tho tunnels can be constructed far down in the earth below interfering gas pipe or sewers They can bo reached by ele vator shafts and lighted and so perfectly that it will be a pleasure t travel through them Tho masonry may be built as solidly as that of the ancien aqueduct at Rome to stand for ages The difficulty with smoke from en gines in the tunnel can probably b avoided by having powerful electric en gines convoy trains through its length even though steam bo tho motor ont side Tho electrical industry is ye only a as we are reminded s often and even now for short distance tho electrical engine is equal to more than has yet been demanded of it Underground railway trades for citie
