MISSOURI AT ITS OLD TRICKS
Vnlunhlc l''urm I/nmtn Dlnnppcnr in
the niver'd Vornuloun Maw
Near Omnvii , la.
ONAWA , la. , July 29. ( Special. ) The
Missouri river Is at its old tricks again in
Monona county and is rapidly slicing off val
uable fanning lands. John Wilson's farm
has been nearly wiped out nnd it IB said
100 acres of good corn disappeared In ten
days. The old White-Gould farm , southwest
of Onnwa , now owned by Frank Gould , the
well-known contractor of Omaha , has been
nearly all washed away.
The river has been cutting at this point
for some years nnd seems bound to complete
the job. The farm house was moved last
week to save It and now a good orchard Is
rapidly falling into the voracious Missouri.
The river has washed out the road north
of the Gould farm and has taken considerably
of John Hamll's cornfield. At this place
there Is a gumbo point that retards the ac
tion of the river somewhat , but it Is eating
the bank nwny quite rapidly. The distance
to the old Gard lake bed at this point is
U 3 than ono mlle and It Is only a question
of time when the Missouri will cut into Gard
lake. Its old channel.
A number of the best farmers In that vlcln-
ty are anxiously awaiting developments. At
Al Mustard's place the river has formed a
Inko one mlle long and one-fourth of a mile
wide.

DES MOINES , July 29. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The foreign Insurance companies
doing business In the state of lown are going
to push their attack upon the constitution
ality of the Insurance law to a trial before
the United States suprcriio court. The law
which affects them Is that provision which
requlrcH them to pay a heavier premium
for doing business in the state than is re
quired by local companies , or even by com
panies in tlio other states In the union.
In a suit brought by the companies in re
gard to the matter It was decided by Judge
Shlras that the state had the right tu uc-
sess the companies as provided in the
statute. This case was heard by Judge
Shlras sitting in DCS Molnes last winter and
ho rendered nn opinion against the plaintiffs
early in January. The companies which are
the plaintiffs In the case number thirty , all
European companies doing business all over
the United States.
The statute which In questioned Is No , 1333
of tbo code. It provides for n varying tax
on the gross earnings of the companies doIng -
Ing business in the state. The lowest rates
nro accorded to the companies which are or
ganized and Incorporated under the laws of
Iowa. The next lowest rate that Is inado Is
for American companies outside of the state ,
and foreign companies which were not
ganlzed In the country have to pay the high
est rate. H was claimed by the companies
when the case was tried that the statute
made unfair discrimination against them In
favor of the homo and the other American
companies not located In the state.
The COHO was hardly fought and was de
cided adversely to the Insurance companies
iy Judge Shlrns , nnd now , after a long de
ny , notice of appeal has been filed. The
constitutionality of the lown law will be do-
elded In the supreme court of. the United
Hates.
