The "Old Home Week" Idea -was originated
three years ago by a Minneapolis woman, a
former resident of the village, and ever since
there hive been annual reunions at Oleaiwater,
and every old settler of the town or the
neighborhood strives to be present, no matter

Clearwater at Its Best.
Clearwater wore a festive appearance in
honor of the homecoming of her old cltlaens
and their children -The celebration began last
Wednesday and lasted till Friday evening
Borne of those who came to see the old town
and its earlr settle!s had not been in the
Tillage for forty years, and many had not
been called by their hrst name for a score

platform Some old graj beard, in a threadbare
coat, carrying a carpetbag would shout to the
man, with the dignified inein, in Prince Albert
and silk bat "Hello, Joe how be you?' and
the old friends would clasp each other hand
and have a ha id time keeping from saying,
"Lets go in swimming."

and as they were about the characters of the

Interesting to ail. The old boys smoked and
chuckled over the tales of frontier days, and

Milwaukee, Wis June 30.The democratic
party In Wisconsin is ready for the campaign
of 1906, and has outlined its support for Wil
liam Jenningb Bryan for the piesidency at the
nest national convention The radicals ruled foi
the first time In man., years Former Senator
\-ilas -who was also postmaster general undei
Cleveland and hia partner in conservatism, Na
tloual Committeeman T. 2 Ryan of Waukesha,
say they are pleased with the way matters
turned out, but no one takes their statements
overseriously
The municipal ownership plank In the plat
form was adopted, and therein lies one ol the
big victories scored by the radicals. Another
victory was the submission to the dictates of
Vilas and Ryan that John A Aylward of Madi
son be elected permanent chairman of the state
convention The radicals submitted, on the plea
that they could thereby ward off strife, but they
forced the conservatives to submit to the munici
pal ownership platform.
Ryan called the pi ink socialistic"rank so
cialism," saia he But he was howled down.
He averred that to take the debt limit from
municipalities foi the purchase of public utili
ties meant ruin, if not a sort of anarchy, but
he was howled down again.
Wanted to Indorse "Little Bob."
Senator La Follette was no mean fac
tor in the convention Had not Ryan and Vilas
submitted quietly there would have been a half
dozen resolutiono indorsing the stand of La
Follette on the rate bill, and as an aide to Till
man and Ballej in that fight As it was, the
conservatives, who were strong anti-Bryanites
in recent years, took little or no active part in
formulating the platform of the party at the
convention
The paity pledges itself to the support of stat
utes which will result in constitutional amend
ments and thus bring about ultimately municl
pal ownership of utilities It goes farther and
demands laws allowing municipalities to fix their
cwn rates to be paid for the service of these
utilities Its declaration is specific and the
claim made that short of thi Wonld

In the matter of a maximum railway rate of
2 cents per mile the platform declares itself as
forciblv as it does upon other matters of public
concern As It pertains to national questions
the platform reflects the sentiment of party lead
ers and will constitute the lbsues of the com
ing congiessional campaign.
Merton for Governor.
There was little or no talk of candidates
among the delegates, It being generally con
ceded that Senator Ernst Met ton of Waukesha
would have practically the unanimous support
of the democrats of the state for the governor
ship Some of the Milwaukee delegates talked
of the possibility of Judge Paul Carpenter as
gubernatorial possibility, but the majority senti
ment was strongh In favor of Merton
The ardent followers of Bryan seemed to find
the most satisfaction out of the final action of
the convention
The views of some of the representative dele
gates are as follows-

the demociacy of this state

pose had removed the casing up and down which
runs the heavy counterweight While he was
working on the second floor with his head in

the bottom The heavy weigh came down as the
elevator ascended, and caught Nelson squarely
on the bfck of the head, pinning him to the
floor. His cries of agony startled the elevator
boy and he stopped the lift, letting the weight
rest on Nelson's head. Carl Heagle, one of the
proprietors, came to the rescue and started the
elevator down, which relieved Neuron's head of
the crushing weight.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis., June 30.Apparently State In
surance Commissioner Zeno M. Host does not
think very much of the so-called "model" insur
ance laws enacted by the New York state legis
lature ae a result of 'the Investigations and
recommendations of the Armstrong committee.
In hi annual report, th advance sheet of
whichshave jnst been madeepublic, he says:s
"Fraud and deception will not only continue,
but will be sanctioned by the Btate while the
'model laws,' from which the people hoped so
much are left In a condition to permit, by a
slight amendment, the issuance of the deferrerd
dividend contract again* just as soon as the
managements feel warranted by the lethargic
memory ef the public
Hits theg,Lobby.
Commissioner Host gives an exhaustive review
of the efforts made by the Wisconsin. Insurance
department the past ten years to remedy what
he terms "the one great evil in the Insurance
business," the lack of accountability Prior to
1897, he says, when first was presented a meas
ure requiring an annual apportionment of surplus
and a provision prohibiting the proxy and estab
lishing the policy-holder's right to vote directly,
either in person or by mail, there was no such
thing lino'Mi in Wisconsin as an insurance lobby.
Since then, however, lt has been strenuous and
successful, in part at least, in its efforts to pre
vent remedial legislation.
The commissioner presents a draft of a bill
designed to remedy the evils he points out in
his report and strongly urges upon the legis
lature the adoption of this or a similar measure.
Talks to Fraternal Men.
Mr. Host appeared before the Wisconsin Life
Insurance investigating committee and a large
number of officials of fraternal insurance com
panies at Milwaukee and in an address declared
his belief that these societies will not adopt
adequate rates unless required to do so by stat
utory provision
The premium to be paid from year to year
for a fixed amount of insurance, he said, must
be an increasing amount at all times to cover
the full ourrent or actual cost, according to
the attained age of the Insured. He added.
"Without calculating or basing the rate of
premium upon tables of mortality, the policy
of life Insurance becomes a gambling contract,
pure and simple. By no means can life Insur
ance extending over a period of more than one
year be written withont the accumulation of a
reserve or a gradual increase in cost, and no
system has yet been discovered or devised which
will permit ignoring the laws of mortality and
avoid failure and disaster."

to a modern ecnooinouse, from the laay care
lessness of the Sioux tongue to the precision
of the English language, is a far cry, but
it is the accomplishment within but a few
years of, many Indian children.
The government school for Indians Is hold
ing its closing exercises this week, and boys
and girls who, weie lt not for their friend,
Uncle Sam, would be Hying aimlessly in ignor
ance and squalor upon the reservations, are
proving what they can do. Many of the chil
dren taking pait are mixed bloods, sons and
daughters of squawmen, and could not be dis
tinguished by their looks from any other school
ebildren in the land. They all have American
names, but the program wtB well interspersed
with the good old Indian names of lion
Lightning, Elk Thunder, etc.
The numbers consisted of piano duets, pan
tomimes, recitations, choruses, band music,
drills and, In fact, just such a variety as might
be found on the "last day of school" almost
anywhere In our land And the young Indian
boys and girls seemed really to enjoy the pub
Uclty and the limelight. They applauded each
other's efforts vigorously, laughed at the jokes,
and joined heartily in the choruses Boys
and all sang with a will, and a college medley
which they gave seemed to be an especial fa
vorite. Musically, they possess a good sense of
rhythm, and some ability In musical expression,
but the "good ear" for music is lacking
Early in the week a band of Indians, 200
strong, came in Indian file over the divide into
Rapid Valley. They had their wives, children
and ponies with them and camped In the out
skirts oj* town. They had come, as come all
true American patriots, to witness the com
mencement exercises In which their children
would all take some part, however small The
exercises were given twice, once for the benefit
of fathers and mothers, and again for the
curious and interested public.
Many of the students will return to their
homes with their parents some of them will
remain on the reservation, and retnrn in dome
measure to the life of their ancestors Last
year an order was Issued forbidding the chil
dren to so home thru the summer, as it was
thought that the return to old associations was
demoralizing So great was the uproar raised
among the Indians that it became necessary
to rescind the order.

MICHIGAN FRAUD CHARGED IN
AN IRON MINE DEAL
STARTED AGAINST FLAGLER
IRON & STEEL COMPANY.
Charges Are Made that It Worked Off
an Abandoned and Useless Property,
Selling Stock by Means of False
RepresentationsAttempt to Recover
$90,000.
Bpeoial to The Journal.
Negaunee, Mich., June 80,Suit ha been
started in the United States court ats Chicago
by Alfred S. Ooetello, H. Costello, Harvey
Cheney and Robert Cheney, all of Hartford,
Conn., against H. K. Flagler, president Wil
liam Dickinson, treasurer, and other offi
cers and stockholders of the Flagler Iron &
alleged that that amount was obtained from
the plaintiffs by the sale of stock by means
of false representations. The litigation recalls
the Kloman mine deal of two years ago.
The Kloman Is an abandoned property- that
was worked out many years go It Is located
at Republic,, in the western end of Marquette
county, and thru the purchase of the stock of
the old company at a nominal figure Marquette
and Republic men, among them E. J. Mapes
and J, H. Primeau, came into possession of
the tract, beUeving that lt still had possi
bilities of becoming valuable. Subsequently they
entered into an agreement with the Flagler
people for the sale of the mine.
The Flagler company at once took steps to
reopen the property. Pumps were put In, the
workings were unwatered, and there was
every evidence of a bona fide Intention to re
sume operations. However, in many minds there
was a suspicion of the plans of the Flagler
Iron & Steel company, and it was greatly
augmented when the officers of the concern sent
forth alluring circulars in which the Kloman
was played up as a very valuable asset,
whereas lt was generally known In this region
that the mine was in reality merely an aban
doned scram.
The Kloman Iron company or some of Its
representatives, received $10,000 from the Flag
ler company, but the stockholders became In
volved in litigation before the deal went thru,
and before the Flagler company went up, for
it is now defunct, having gone out of exist
ence several months ago J. Primeau sued
E J. Mapes for an accounting. The company's
affairs are in the courts and are said to be
badly tangled.
Meanwhile Mark Elliott, clerk of Marquette
county, is the receiver, tho he says the funds
In bis hands are hardly worth mentioning. The
equipment at the old mine has been seized
to partially satisfy liens secured by creditors
of the Flagler company and the looation is
again deserted.
MACCABEES GET BUSY
Supreme Commanders Visit Aberdeen,

ABERDEEN, S. D.D Markey, supreme

knights and ladies being enrolled State officials
of the orders were also present and a great deal
of enthusiasm has been aroused here The
visitors left today, Markey for Chicago, and
Mrs Hollister for Huron. S and Detroit
Owing to a mlstaie made by the city council
In 1888, the system of numbering stores and
residents in this city is causing much Incon
venience. Instead of starting the numbers with
the beginning of the block, a start was made
before the block was reached and as a result,
the numbers of every building In the city are
Just one block wrong. There is every probability
that the council will cause the error to be
rectified at once. Mail carriers are complaining
about the absence of numbers on the residences
and lt Is likely that the council will make the
change In the numbering without delay and then
take steps to see that every house is provided
with a number

be called a monument to their untiring
labors, in presenting to the world an up

as great as any In the state, to say noth

Wit such commercial enterprise as

cannot help but look to Austin for growth.

coast a ver reduced rate,
to thea Atlanticy coast and MexicodTinseve.an
railroads are plentiful, four in number,
so that there ls plenty of competition,
and in turn the freight rates are not ex
cessive nor exorbitant. Again, capitalists
who are desirous of establishing factories,
mills, or other enterprises in Austin wSl
find upon investigation that they are not
loaded down with conditions, that the
building laws are not unreasonable, but
that every man is given a square OmL
be he a millionaire or a strutting
younac merchant.
