DES MOINES, Keb. 17. (Speclal.l Two
thousand policyholders In the bankrupt
Underwriters' Mutual Fire Insurance com
pany of Sioux City, living In Iowa and Ne
braska, are Interested In an organization
effected by them to resist collection of an
ussessm'int ordered by the court on the
policy notes held by the receiver of the
company.
The company was formed as a mutual
company about ten years ago by James
Mnble, A. I). Collier Rnd E. F. I'hllbrook
at Sioux City nnd went Into tho hands of n
receiver In 1&P4. Soon thereafter n largo
number of tho policyholders living In east
ern Iowa met at Iowa City and formed
nn organization to resist payment nf any
possible assessments which might be made.
No movement was made to collect from the
policyholders until tho first day of the
present month, when Judge Wakefield of
the district court of Pottawattamie county
directed Hccclvcr M. J. Smith to levy nn
assessment on all policyholders, ranging
from 10 to 73 per cent of their notes, ac
cording to the time they were In the com
pany. Immediately thereafter the organiza
tion formed Ht Iowa City was revived and
onlnrced and the policyholders are gen
erally Joining to make concerted defense
of tho case.
The claim Is that while It was a mutual
eompany In name It did business In fact
as a stock company: that under the Iowa
invi n nnllcvholder Is not liable on his
Ktnrk In a Block company; that In fact the
business done was Illegal under the charter
of the company and the policyholders arc
not liable. W. S. Thomas. N. Oakes and
W. G. Brooko constitute, the committee of
policyholders in charge of the work of de
fense. Tho suit, which Is Invcltable, will
result In some new decisions In regard to
Iowa Insurance laws.
School Kit ml IntrreM Muddle.
The state auditor and attorney general
have recently had under consideration an
nrtlnn of the last Iowa legislature whlrb
will cause somo extra clerical service lu
state departments. The legislature passed
n law reducing the rnto of Interest on the
unrmnnent school fund. This waB done
becnuse of a decreasing demand for the
drhrol money and the fact that much of It
was not loaned out at Interest. The rate
I to borrowers was reduced from C to 5 per
I cent and the rate chargeable to counties
' by the state was brought down from 6 to
' 4U npr rent.
I It has been discovered that the law which
rirnvldea for the interest chargeable by the
I i 1
state to the county on saics ana rcsaie m
I school lands and on sales or cscneateu
'nronorty Is different from the one modified.
J This money does not become a part of tho
school fund until the first of the year toi
lowing the time it goes Into the county
treasury. Now the attorney general Is
compelled to decide thnt r. per cent is to bo
I charged on the money utfto the first of
each January, and niter that it becomes a
part of the school fund and draws the
lower rate of Interest. It will necessitate
much clerical work until the law la
amended.

Milk lnnpeetlon to He lllclil.
In a short time the state dairy commls
sloner will start out on an Inspection tour
that will be more thorough than anything
before attempted In Iowa. Two cities of
Iowa Fort Dodge and Waterloo will be
brought under the" Inspection law and have
milk Inspectors appointed, while Fort Mad
ison will drop out because the censuB shows
It to have less than 10,000 people. A re
cent supreme court decision fixed tho law
that It Is Improper to use nny kind of pre
i-ervative In milk even though harmless
and this law is to be enforced rigidly. It
is believed that nearly half the milk dealers
In the cities use preservatives.

The annual convention of the Iowa min

the few days following. The convention
will not finish Its business until the meet
ing of the miners with the operators at the
same placo next week. The district com
prises nil of Iowa and the northern tier of
counties In Missouri. Tho fact that the
national conference shut Iowa out again
this year will make It easier for the scale
committees to agree on a scale, since It
will not be necessary to consider the scale
In Illinois. It is believed that there will
be no trouble In agreeing on a scale and
that it will be substantially the same as
the present scale.

county, Friday. He was one of the mem
bers of the first Iowa conference and but
one other remains, He was S9 years old
and was born In New York. He was
brought by his parents to Indiana in 1 SI 8
and entered the ministry In 183S. His first
pastorate was Columbus Junction, where he
became a circuit rider and covered a vast
territory. He founded the Methodist
I churches at La Porte City, Waterloo and
Marlon and wax ono of the organizing mem
bers of the first Iowa conference at Iowa
City In 1644. He had been out of the active
work for twenty years.
Conntry Kdltora to Combine,
The two meetings of publishers of weekly
newspapers held In Iowa last week demon
strated that the country editors are ready
to go into a combine for mutual profit
and to take advantage of the tendency of
commercial life to run to combinations
and big organizations. At both or the
meetings, at Forest City and at Mount
Ayr, the chief topic of discussion was
that of combination to meet the exactions
of the trusts and combines und monopolies.
It was almost the unanimous sentiment
that the publishers of weekly newfpapers
should effect combination to meet others
and that In this way only ran they hope
to succeed.
In tho matter of advertising the Iowa
publishers are going to take a decided
stang against the adverttslLg agencies and
o curb tho power of the ready print pub
lishers. The Upper Des Moines editors will
employ an advertising agent, who will have
charge of all advertising from outside the
state In alt the papers of tho association.
An effort will be made to finally eliminate
all advertising from the ready print side
of the weeklies. The same subject Is un
der consideration by those who formed
the Soutwestern Iowa Editorial association.
They also plan co-operation In tho pur
chase of material.
A temporary organization was effected
with P. S. Junkln of Corning, president, and
S. M. Greene of Clarlnda, secretary. An
other meeting will be tho latter part of
next month to complete the organization
nnd plan for co-operation In all matters.
Meetings will soon be In other parts of
the state for the same purpose.

mcnt he said:
"Yes and no. I am rather opposed, but
am open to conviction according to the
circumstances. I would not argue the

with inuny eL.meut educators I hold tho
view that as a fundamental principle In
all discipline It should be the aim and
purpose so to meto out the punshment that
It will tend, if possible, to reform, to lift
up, to make better, to save the one pun

You may know something of the "grip" may hare
felt all its miseries, experienced the weakness and had
a mouth full of bad taste, yet you know nothing of the
