TRUTH is MIGHTY!!

If seekers after truth are disposed to examine nto
Jacfs and figures, they easily satisfy themselves
that the
Mutual Benefit Life Ins. Co., of New Jersey,
| Is not THE Safest Is not THE Cheapest!
ist-"Because its net Assets do nosl exceed those
u a,'g otaer Life Ins. Co. in the United States"
SuI"because it is (notl paying back to its mem
pe's saT9er Dividends, and more of them, than any
otner Co. IN the United States, as is alleged by It's
Agent. o sf 9gH - .

On the Slst December, 1884, as appears by the Com
missioners Report, the Great MUTUAL LIFE ms.
co. OF NEW YORK, had ASSETS tan cashl
~ s19,445,264 90
The Benefit Co. had (grOss assets) 7,1s4,79O 90
So,ORO57 90 only, being Cash Assets; the balance
being in Premium Notes, with an outstanding liab-
iy on Policies in force of 1854 co. or nearly as
large as that OF the MUTUAL LIFE Co.
The expenses Of the Benefit Co in 1864 were,
ea ~ $271, 1857 90
while its Cash receipts were only s1,n5,S75 90
The Cash Receipts of the Mutual Life Co. being
s2,e26,sO1sO0
and its expenses only s25e.1O5 90
Any Life Co. which does not incease its assets in
the same ratio it Liability, cannot be considered
the sqfest iah f
The Benefit Co. is not the Cheapest for the reason
that its Rates are higher, and the Dividends much
less. '
For instance, at the age of 49, for s1O0O ON the 10
year plan, with the Benefit Co. it will cost s57 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only s51 e1
being So 20 less with the same difference of Rate as
to other ages. gasa n

more than so per cent. The Policies OF the Mutual
Life Co. are constantly Increasing in amount, and
always have Cash value ON surrender While
those of the Benefit Co. do not increase and have no
such value, unless the premiums are paid up in cash.
Which is Cheapest? judge ye.
We the necessity for thus showing the alsty
of the statements put forth by neighbors but il

The Twin Convention at Des Moincs.
Correspondence of the Davenport Gaze,

Correspondence Of the Davenport Gazette.
You have before DOW chronicled the
result Of the proceedings CT the twin
convention of the last two days. The
first one as originally called, was to be
composed Of Soldiers; but when, after
the convention met, the soldiers inquired
for the original call, it was not to be
found, and another and later call was
impudently read to the Convention by
one Captain Edwards, of Lee county,
who kindly Undertook to tell the com.
mlttee on credentials who were and who
were not to be admitted, and otherwise
run the Convention. The call excluded
soldiers and all others who were not
snti-Stone. The fact being that after
the first call was issued, Claggett, Ed.
wards and the other originators of the
movement found a convention of soldiers
was not so likely to 60 against the State
ticket as was expected; therefore new
call was made out virtually tho same as
that for the namelsss Convention of the
oath
Several soldiers however came to Tho
Convention under the call proper; ont
de'egation-from Madison counsy-beine
instructed to vote for Stone for Govern

When the afternoon session began

entire ticket by good msjorities.
Some Of the delegates to the namslees
convention, I am told, declared they
wouldn't vote for Benton any way. An
extensive feeling of this kind certainly
exists, and it is now probable Byington's
Convention will be larger than both OF
these. TVB.

FIRE FROM KEROSENE OLA sin
gular accident occurred yesterday on the
farm of Mr.. G. w. Smiley, of this city,
situated in Blue Grass township. Mr.
Smiley was having his wheat threshed
by machine on which kerosene was
used as lubricator. The oil was sud
denly isnited by the heat Of = journal,
setting fire to the machine, and burning
it up with six hundred bushels Of wheat
and large quantity of oats, he. Mr..
Sm:lsy's loss is quite severe. Kerosene
oil is practically valueless for lubricating
purposes; besides being continually liable
to ignition, it dries and heats wherever
there Is friction. Better use the more
expensive and proper kin ! for machinery.
