LETTERS BY EXPRESS.

Wells, Fargo g. Co.'s express proba-
bly, do the largest express business in the
world. Their territory covers every
thing west of the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast. They have also an office
in every principal city in Europe, and
sell exchange in all their western offices
for all points in Europe. In California
they do an extensive banking business
themselves. They also do an extensive
commission business, purchasing any,
thing required, from a pair of shoes to
farm, or gold mine. They carry let
tiers in government stamped envelopes
to any and every point, and derive a
large revenue therefrom. Business
firms there patronize them to a great
extent in the letter business. With the
opening of Wells, Fargo s. Co.'s name
in Kansas this letter system has been
introduced, and it is important that the
people should know it. No receipt is
good for letters, and the company does
not assume any responsibility in carry
ing them unless an extra price is paid
and value specified. The price charg-
ed is six dollars for one hundred, or ten
cents per single letter. A receipt is ta-
ken for these letters upon delivery,
which is an Acknowledgement beyond
dispute of receipt. These letters are in
tended for w. F. & Co.'s territory in
the United States. Lawyers and bust
ness men generally, having important
papers to forward, can avail themselves
of these envelopes and be assured of a
delivery.into the proper hands. We are
informed by the Superintendent of this
division that merchants and the public
generally will be granted every favor
and facility possible, especially in ad
vertising their business throughout
Kansas and Colorado. Bulletins, hand
bills, etc., will be forwarded free to all
their offices and distributed for the actu-
al cost of throwing them around
Commonwealth.

FROM ARKANSAS CITY.


EDIroRs NEWS: Possibly an item or
two froin our young city may not be
entirely devoid of interest.
Aud first OF all, wish to correct one
ridiculous rumor which has come down
from Emporia,-that the government
survey hes located Parker and Arkan-
sas City in the Indian Territory. The
fact is that 10 government survey has
get been made at all. Max Fawcett's
survey shows our town to be six or
eight miles .oc.i. of the line. There is
not the siightes: reason to believe the
contrary. The cpori is pure nonsense,
q lie, maDuile sared out of whole
cloth, probayiy through the jealousy of
rival towns above.
Arkansa- Oily IS growing as no infant
border town has grown before it. The
forty-iourth in our list of residences
and business houses went up yesterday,
and many others are in progress. Blu
siness is brisk, and all sorts of improve
ments are in rapid progress.
Among our latest acquisitions is Mr..
TOpliff, of the well-known firm of Top
Tiff & French. He comes here to COM
mence an extensive live stock business.
The health of our town is something
remarkable. The aguish month of Sep
TENDER is drawing to a close, but we
have had not a single case of ague yet,
or auy form of malarious fever, in a
population of $50 people. This may
partly be attributed to our elevated and
breezy town site, and partly to the
abundance of pure, soft water. The
people living down upon the bottoms.
and drinking river water have suffered
as usual.
The recent heavy rains have some
what dampened the operations of i'm
migrants, but business and the work of
Improvement were never more brisk.
Large enterprises are being Matched
here, of which the world will hear in
due season. H. BIN.

WISE PRECAUTION.

We take occasion to call the attention
of our readers to letter in our columns
this morning, signed by Mrs. Enos, ac-
knowledging the receipt Of ten thousand
dollars from the Life Association of
America. The late Mr.. II. L. Enos had
taken the wise pracaution of insuring
his life in this estimable company in
June of last year, and to-day the resu
of that precaution speaks volumes for
itself.
The untimely death of a good citizen
not only robs household of its protec-
tor, but the community in which he lives
of his industry; yet, by life insurance,
we may secure in the event of death,
the result of the energies of lifetime
and here is a verification.
This company lthe Life Association
of America) has double claims upon our
citizens, not SO much from the fact that
it is to-day, by its excellent management,
paying as large dividends in cash as the
Oldest company in the United States,
but that it is a Western institution. and
the only company in the United States
which, by its charter, loans its money
among the people who pay it. 1t is to-
day assisting our business by loaning
money in our city, and, as its present
board of trustees comprises many of our
best citizens, we bespeak in its cause q
fair consideration.-Laacr Dailu
Tribune.

DISTRICT CLERK.

We announce the third candidate for
Clerk of the District Court this week,
in the person of ii. w. McCune. i. G..
Hunt and o. Y. Hart have previously
announced for the same Office. The
two last named gentlemen are well
known in this county. Mr.. Hunt has
held various offices in the last eight
years, and Mr.. Hart served six years as
register of deeds. While we have no
more interest in this matter than every
other citizen, and do not intend to in
terfere in case no nominations are made,
we will merely say for McCune, as he
is not so well known as his competitors,
that he is a gentlemen of unimpeacha-
bic character, and of excellent qualifica-
tons for the place. He is peculiarly
fitted for the labor of the District Clerks
office. He is No. l penman. He has
been connected with this Office as type
setter, foreman and local editor, and we
know him to be in every way reliable
and upright. He has nothing to rely
upon but his own labor, and if the peo-
pie see fit to endorse him at. the polls,
we have no doubt but that he will serve
them faithfully and capably.

LIFE INSURANCE.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Fearing that in
these exciting times among Life Insu-
rance Agents, some one of your
numerous readers, in haste for Life
policy, might possibly overlook the
company have the honor to represent, I
desire to lay before them brief exhibit
of the claims of the Northw estern Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company to the pa
tronage. of the people of Kansas. AS
its name implies, this is purely mutu-
al company, there being no stockhold-
ers to make a profit off from policy
holders. 1t has no local boards of trus
tees. The business is managed by q
board of thirty-six trustees, chosen for
their high character by the policyholders
from among themselves. The business
of the Company is conducted upon the
most economical basis known, and that
it is managed economically is shown by
the fact that its ratio of expense to to-
tai income last year was but trifie
more than one-half that of the Associa-
ton which claims to do business the
most economically of all life insurance
companies. This fact is proven by the
sworn statements to the insurance
department of Massachusetts, The
Company now consists of over $4,000
members. Its assets amount to over
$780, 10000, all held and invested in
the West.
On the subject of loaning its accum-
ulations the Company makes no pledges
or promises, prefering to be known by
its funds in those portions of the coun-
try where high interest and absolute
security can be obtained, as near as is
practicable, in proportion to the amount
of insurance issued. A large share of
its income is received from portions of
sired at the rate of interest which the
company is able to obtain, leaving the
amounts accumulated from those Sec
tons, to be loaned in those portions of
the country where it is most needed.
and commands the highest rate of in
terest. For instance, the premium re-
ceipts of the company in this locality are
less than 81, 000 while in the same locali-
ty loans to the amount of SIS 10000 have
been granted by the company within
the last three months. The advantages
to the community of having this
amount added to the circulation and
taxable interests are too apparent to re-
quire comment.
The light expenses, the low mortality
experienced, and the high rate of inter-
est received creates large surplus,
which is equitably distributed among
all the members of the company,
there being no stockholders or mem
bers having special interests or immu-
mites, thus furnishing insurance at ex-
act cost to members.
The sums reserved by the company
with which to pay future losses will be
sufficient, should the time come when
the company can obtain but four per
cent. interest.
These facts, together with the high
character of its officers and managers,
the reputation of the company for fair
dealing, its character for promptBess
and freedom from tcchnicaliry in pay
ing losses, surely entitIe the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany to the confidence and patronage of
the citizens of Kansas, it being just as
much home institution to them as to
the citizens of Wisconsin.

REPUBLICAN RAILROAD GRANTS TO STATES
SUBSEQUENT TO 1861,

Seven. hundred thousand people Wis
tied the five principal fashionable wa
tering places during this season. Many
thousands more visited Europe, and the
less important places of resort. The
desire to ''cut swell" is getting to be
a characteristic with our American So
ciety. Over a million people spent the
summer months in idleness. Idleness
is getting to be a passion with us. Thou
sands of people throughout the land
turn to gambling, dishonest speculat-
ing and downright stealing to get mon
ey, in order to ''swell" at watering
places, and live fast during the winter
season in some of our large cities. The
glittering follies of humanity are WOW
en- around the lives of millions of peo-
pie who might be useful to the world,
were it not for the strong desire to APP
pear before the world in false charac-
tiers. Watering-place society has very
few fluctuations for the true-hearted.

When such party as the Democracy
get to parading virtue before the pub
lie, it is well to examine their record
and see what claim they have to the re-
spect of the people. The last Democrat
ic convention of this State passed strong
resolutions in favor of ''land for the
landless." One would think by reading
that platform that the Democratic party
had never been in favor of Gland COB
bles"-that it had never participated in
any of the swindles which it denounces
now with such virtuous Indignation.
The Lawrence Journal refers to the
Democratic record to show how hollow
are their professions on this land grant
business:
