' - OF IOWA TONTINE MEN FIGHT THE BILL Appeal to Governor Cummins to Veto - Measure Advene to Their Interests. SAY IT VIOLATES PERSONAL RIGHTS Proposed Blfl Raw In Hands of ov ernor Provides tSxnnlslon from late of This Class of Bnslneas, ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. April 14. (Special.) Rep resentatives of tontine companies from Mis souri, Nebraska and Minnesota are making a determined effort to have Governor Cura mina veto the bill which passed the legisla ture In the closing days which has for Its purpose the driving out of the state these various concerns which are doing a busi ness analagous to building and loan. At torney Younker of this city, Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Ryan and several others have pro tested to the governor against this bill. The bill was tbe result of Investigations at, Minneapolis and Kansas City. In ths former city a company wag engaged In sell ing diamonds on the tontine plan and many victims were found In Iowa. A Kansas City concern haa established Agencies In Iowa and Is doing a big business promising prac tically, free homes for those who Join. The attention of Auditor Merrlam was called to these concerns and he consulted with the attorney general and found there was no law to reach them or to regulate them. They were not incorporated, but were merely firms or partnerships, hence not subject ,lo any regulation. Attorney General Mullen drew up a'blll to compel all such concerns to Incorporate under the Iowa building and loan law and be subject to Investigation by the atate audi tor. This bill was submitted to Governor Cummins and had his approval before It was Introduced. It was passed after the representatives of some of the companies had tried vainly to suppress it. The bill is now In the hapds of the governor. The companies have represented to him that the bill le In violation ot the rights of In. divlduals. It changes the nature of con tracts entered Into and Is unconstitutional. In that it aeeka to force out ot business those engaged In legitimate enterprises. The governor has asked the attorney gen eral to prepare a brief in the case before be decides, but It Is said he has no Inten tion to veto the measure. The demand Is general for some such law to protect the public against unscrupulous concerns not only In other statea, but in Iowa. Smallpox Nearly All Gone. There are only a few cases of amallpox left In Dea Moines, the rigid quarantine es tablished some months ago having' proved effective In stopping the Increase of the epidemic. The patlenta have been kept at the old Tracy hospital, which was con- ducted for years as a private hospital, but complaint havo been made that the man agement has been very bad, that patlenta were huddled together In small rooms and that all classes of persons were forced to remain together with Inadequate protection and poor food. Tbe new smallptfx hospital built by the city has been opened recently and all patlenta will be this week removed from the old Tracy hospital. The legisla ture passed a law in. regard to tbe expense of maintaining quarantine which will make It possible to compel practically all per sona to go to the hospital or stand tbe ex pense themselves, and It Is expected that this will be useful In stopping tbe ravages of smallpox In the future. Iowa War Claims. Adjutant General Brers will go to Wash- Ington this week to further press the mat ter of securing a refund of the claims on the government on account of the expense to Iowa In the preparations for the war against Spain on behalf ot Cuba. All but about $23,000 of the Iowa claim has been secured at one Urns or another by tne ad jutant general. A draft for $25,000 has Just been turned Into the state treasury on this account. When all has been aecured that can be through tbe auditing depart ment of the treasury ths Iowa delegation will be asked to advocate a special bill to reimburse Iowa for the expenses left un paid In this way it la believed that every dollar Will be Secured. Admiral Remey to Retnra. In anticipation , that Admiral Remev. United Statea navy, is soon to return to Iowa, possibly ' to remain or at . least to pay an extended visit, preparations are already being made for a reception and a aeries of entertainments. Admiral Remev went to the naval academy at VAnnapolla many years ago as an Iowa cadet and en tering the navy has steadily risen, until he now commands one of tbe most import ant of tha squadron of Uncle Sam. He la almoat unknown to the present generation of Iowa people. He , Uvea In Burlington at the time he went to the academy and will probably return to his old home first, but is expected to pay a vialt to Des Moines: Meat Prices Golaar I p. Tbe Des Moines restaurants have given notice that after date there will be an increase in the price of meala In which meat ordera are served, especially where Beet Is Included, and thla is due entirely to an Increase In tbe price of meats. A number of smaller meat markets of the city have closed up on account of the In crease In the price of meat. Ia auburban stores, where meat has been sold, this ba been abandoned. The Jobbers In meat have Increased the price and aa a resulj a great many customera are almoat en tirely abandoned meat and especially at thla-time of the year are turning te other food.

Major Conger ha no business Interests at home now, but he had such wld experience in business that It la believed hs would 'quickly fall Into a good business1 should be return.

At the 400-foot level it has driven a cross-cut sixty feet Into the ore, which assay 3 per cent copper and from $2 to $4 a ton tu gold. Crocs-cuts are being driven both ways on the ledge from the 800-foot level. The company's gold property is known as the Benedict group, recently purchased of Mendenhall, Hooper and associate, situated near the Copper Reef. Fourteen miners have lately been net to work, and deep shaft Is to be started. Hoys Chilean Mill. The Black Hills company haa purchased a Chilean mill and la aettlng It up on the ground. The ateam hoist that was in use on the Yellow Bird In the same region last year has been Installed for the deep shaft. The company's property la situated In what Is tbe moat active portion of the Black Hills this year. An immense amount of now work la under way. Nearby the Ohio-Deadwood company, is employing a large force In- development, opening up a strong ledge of free milling ore running from $8 tc $46. a ton. The Cochran Mining company, organized on the Cochran mine, employed twenty-seven miners, and la at present cross-cutting tbe ledge at right angles, and la getting ready to start the Huntington quart mill, which haa a ca pacity of thirty . tons dally, and is to bo continued in use untfl a stamp mill can be built.
