A CHICAGO romance boiled down u of .
young gentleman of that city who fell in love
with hotel waiter girl, and Afterwards ap-
piled for divorce because the "sweet little
thing " insisted on cutting her toe nails with
the butter knife in the kitchen.
OK Monday night Robert Biggerstaf,
St. Joseph liveryman, left that city and his
creditors without as much as saying "good
bye" He took with him all his own stock,
buggies, carriages, ETC., and left the stock he
was boarding in the stables. Several men in
his employ went with him.
As there is considerable ague hereabouts
the following description of the Wabash va
riety, celebrated for its persistency, will be
read with interest: at comes creeping up
q fellows back like ton of wildcats; goes
crawlingrhrough his joints like iron spikes,
and is followed by a fever which prohibits
the patient from thinking of anything but
Gfeenland's Icy Mountains. 1t isn't the
every other-day' kind, but gets up with
man at daylight, and sleeps in the small of
his back all night. His teeth feel about six
inches long, his joints wobble like loose
wagon wheel, and the shakes are 80 steady |
that one can't hold conversation without put
ting in dashes."
ANNIE GLINN was the name Of the girl
who shot herself at Newton, mention Of
which We made yesterday. A Kansas City
paper says:
Annie Glinn, formerly of ST. Louis, was
al one time sheer jerker" in this city. The
exigences Of her profession led her to New
ton, where she loved a railroad man who
didn't love her. Her resolve was quickly
taken. She sent the cook of the dance
house at which she was living TO buy for her
cold pizen, and the cook wouldn't 90. Annie
then procured pistol and sent an ounce of
cold lead whizzing through her anatomy.
She at once sent for the railroad man. He
came and her eyer never left him from the
moment he entered the room until the film Of
death shut out all sight Of the outer world.

Days" or other time clause in the policy.
In addition to the Cash Fund, the Stock

ment of losses. Thus the actual security to
Policy Holders Is over Five Million Dollars.
Persons haveing propity to: insure and all
Others who care to understand the truth in
regard to the relative merits of the Republic,
will find Of special interest the following ex-
hibit of figures, made up from Official sources,
and showing the precentage Of assets to I
liabilities Of several Of the leading companies

PERCENTAGE Of cash assets Of any company in 4
the list, and of total assets, including stock
subscription, has a percentage of actual in
demnity six times greater than that of the I
largest of the Eastern Companies.
It has been the design Of the Stockholders
to make the Company the strongest in United 9
States. and We unhesitatingly assent that the
security to policy holders has never been :
equalled by any other Fire Insurance Com q
pany. A. an earnest oftheir dissemination

ment and the premium income. together with {
