Intend the work of construction. The com
party has xaoured offices tn the Merrlam
blectr'and Mr. Judson expects to be ready
for business by Tuesday morning of this
week. Since the disbanding, of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' association of
this city, of which he was secretary, Mr.
Judeon has been engaged in the nianage-
ment of an Independent telephone company
itv Minneapolis and the comttnirtlon of oth-
era in Kansas City, les Moln.a and other
I cities. 1
the intention of the company to -commence
thin .work of, construction aa soon as the
material could be secured, lie exprened
the opinion that It would take at least
trtfy' days for suftlclent 'material to be on
the ground here to enable the company to
attf.t. work. . According to present, plqna the
cost of constructing the system is plaoed
by Mr. Judson at 1:300,000.
The first work to be commenced by the
company will be the laying of the under
ground conduita in the down town streets.
This work Mr. Judson Hopes to see under
way by June 1, if not sooner. At the start
th company, Mr, Judaon states, will build
four main lines out of the city one south
to Pacific Junction, one north to Missouri

soon JL the underground conduits are laid

Will b employed.
The question of ,h location of the cen

determined 'and the company Is looking for
a taltable site. - The location of the ex

ing policies of the forty-three, old line Ufa
insurance companies doing business In the
state of Iowa, was Sl.9e0.834.0SS.54. This 1
shown in the annual report of the auditor
of state, made to the governor today. There
are forty-three old Una or level premium
companies, eighteen assessment companies
and forty-eight fraternal beneficiary asso
ciations. Of the seven Iowa companies the
comparison of the year 1901 with the year
19U1 shows the premium receipts to have
Increased from 12,314,958.47 to 12.638,371.21. the
Insurance in force from tl, 716,089 to 171,602.
t63, the assets from $6,384,612.16 to $7,713,631.17,
amounts paid beneficiaries from $604,959.33
to $810,16113 surplus from $744,213.40 to $815.

cember 31, 1904, was $621,771,436. !
In his report the auditor takes! occasion '
to recommend that the legislature at its i
next semlon take up the question of the
kind of securities In which companies shall
ta allowed to Invest and states that as long
as they are allowed to Invest In stocks of
national banks they should be allowed also
to . Invest in stocks of state and savings
banks. He recommends especially that the
manner of the Investment of the funds of
fraternal associations be looked Into. He
states that the fraternala do not use the
same car aa other Insurance companies
and that In many Instances the funds are
notx invested according to aood business
principles. It was also recommended that
legislation bo enacted permitting companies
to erect buildings for their home offices and
that the form of policies be regulated by
law. .

at the session held a week ago, remoVerf
Dr. D. F. Lee as county' physician and
elected Dr. L.i Swoboda In hia atead. The
many friends of Dr. Lee are proud ot tha
record he made as county physician during
the last two years. Without detracting aa
iota of merit from his predecessors, I claim
that he waa the beat physician Douglas
county ever had. In the extreme cold
weather during the two winter he held -
the position he waa always ready to re- '
spond to a call from the poor 'and unfor
tunate, placing them cm the same baala
as rich patients, whether they lived on tha
river boftoma or to the north, west or
south of the city, morning or evening,
cheerfully responding to the call.
The Visiting Nurses' association gave Mm' '
a strong endorsement and a committee ap
peared before the county commissioners Irt
favor of his retention as physician. Frlenda .j
of the doctor were very much aurprlsed at (
the attack of Dr. Swoboda on hla record ,
as county physician, and the books of the.
office are open to the Inspection ot the;
commissioners at any time. The 'men who'
pay the taxes of Douglas county will neve:
