Big Bills.

Over $4,000 allowed at last meeting of
the Council-but it is pretty hard to tell
where the sum could be curtailed. For
the Milan road $1,000; fire department,
new hose, and putting water in hose houses
etc. about $1,000, water works about an
other Sl,0OO-while gas, the bridges. and
a small sum for salaries make up the bal
ance-none of which expenditures could
very well be avoided.

Accident 70 VIM Bell

b. Last evening we received copy of the
Dajiy Colorado Miner, of the 18th ult.,
printed at Georgetown, giving the follow
account of the accident to our fellow. citi
zen, Alderman VIM. Bell, of the Third
Ward. who has been in Colorado for some
months past
We are sorry to learn by a note from
ii, Barnes, Esq, that our old friend, VIM.
Bell who is working the Crystal lode, near
Idaho Springs, has met with serious &C
cldent. The Crystal is the property of the
Fulton Mining Co., in which Mr.. Bell is a
large stock holder. The following
are the particulars He was repair
ing the root of the blacksmith shop at the
mine, when some of the boards gave way
and precipitated him to the ground, break
ing the cOglarb bone and otherwise seriously
brulsing him. The coach Just arriving
from Central CITY, he was carefully lifted
into 1t, and was soon in comfortable quar-
! tiers at the Beebee House, under the charge
OF DIR. McMurtrie MIR. Bell is over 70
years old, and, although he has been in ac
tive business during his whole life, saws
that this is the first injury that he has ever
received. lie was insensible for about two
hours, and when he recovered found him
sell IN charge as above. He is now doing
as well as can be expected The Company
will lose for time the services of one Of
the most valuable Superlntendents they
ever had.
In the same sprightly little paper weno-
tice that the sleighing was good in George
town and the merry sleigh bells were max
ing music in the streets.
There is also statement of the condition
of the First National Bank, of Georgetown,
on the 18th of Sept, from which it appears
that their individual deposits we're s239.- |
916.13-and they had in cash and cash as
sets 1929, 1886, besides loans of sI77,-
1901. We call that pretty good place
for banking with only $4,000 bank.
Here is another little item from the
Daily Miner:
We learn from the Greeley Colorado
Tribune that General Superintendent
Slckles is now in Boston to secure money |
II possible Tor the completion of the j ules- |

wonderful and unprecedented success of
the Protection Company which | repre-

life insurance in this country that bears
any comparison to it, 7 he most success
full OF the old high rate companies, have
been organized for nearly or quite thirty
years; are operating in all the states Of
the Union, with their agencies establish-
ed in neatly every county. The Protec-
ton Life of Chicago has been established
a little less than three years, and with
the exception Of a few local agencies of
small account, has, thus far, extended
its operations to only tre states and yet,
in this limited territory, it is issuing
more new policies than any other CONS
pany in the country. During last month
it issued ,032, Of which 5l2 were in the

it begun its operations, where it has
been on trial the longest, and where, of
course, its practical workings have been
most thoroughly tested

ask, is the secret of it? Simply the facts
that our method is so simple that all can
readily understand it, and We have re-
daced the expense to actual cost; and
this is found TO be only about one third
Of the usual cost of life insurance. The
principles of this Company are the cor

that has always been my idea of life in

a policy in the Company and keep it up
without depriyins their families Of one
single comfort; and when we look at the
fact that the laboring man of small means
has no chance to provide for those de.

every day life, it would seem to be his
imperative duty to provide for his family

If the six counties comprising the
Third Congressional District can unite
upon one candidate for place on the
state ticket, it will doubtless be secured
but if the district delegation is divided
between three or four candidates, as
now appears probable, the chances are
that they will fail to get any thing.
Iowa and La Fayette counties seem to
have no candidate, while each Of the
other counties, we understand, has one
Being thus not directly Interested, and
feeling as friendly to one neighboring
county as another, we are at liberty to
suggest that some plan be adopted by
which our district may be assured rep
resentation on the ticket. Let the

sent that the man developing the most
strength from his own district shall have
the support of all, or in some other way
harmonic, so that the district may be
able to WELD an influence in the con-

The New York Eeening Post and the
Wortd, fall into an error when they say
that neither Senator Conkling nor Sem
ator Howe can be appointed Chief JUS
tice of the United States because of the
constitutional prohibition against the APP
pointment Of any Senator to civil Office
whose emolument has been increased
during the term Of such Senator The
term of Senator Conkling and Senator
Howe ended on the 4th of March last.
and each of them entered upon a new
term. During the old term they would
have been affected by the prohibition,
but at present it constitutes no obstacle
to their promotion.
