them would like to take q holiday,
but will not do il if 1t is going to

railroads are working directly
against their own interests and
those of the exhibition, in sticking
to the high rates of fare agreed up
on some weeks ago, at q conference
OF the companies. Unless people
can 90 ct very reasonable rates we
advise them to stay at home and
save their money. This, from pres

better to take advantage of it, and

AnsuarOnce Agents,
YOur GmnrSI.

your O4Gl1r0.
The attention of insurance agents
throughout the State is called to the
fact that the Hon. Orrin T.. WEIGH,
Superintendent of the Insurance
Department for the State of Kansas,
has decided that the mere publica-
tien of the gross assets and iiabili
ties of an insurance company doing
business in the State, does not COM
ply with the law.
We have carefully read the law,
and know that there can be no
question as to the correctness of the
decision.
The statement required to be
published is the official report made
by the company to the Superintend-
ent, and this should be certified to
by having attached the certificate of
the Superintendent that Is is a cor
rect copy of said statement.-Leav-
enworth Times.
Any person who reads the law in
order to form an unbiased opinion,
will, we believe, agree with Mr..
WEIGH. The law is good one, and
the annual statement which it re-
quires every insurance company to
publish in each county where it
issues policies. undoubtedly means
statement that will fully show to
the public it's condition and bust
ness in other words, such a state
ment as it is required to file with
the superintendent of insurance.
The theory of the law is that the
public,as well as the superintendent,
should know how each company
stands. The only company doing
business in Lyon county which has
yet complied with what Mr.. WEIGH
now decides 10 be the law, is the
Mutual Life of New York, whose
statement we published last week
at the moderate charge of ten dol
lars. The penalty provided for
failure to publish such a statement
is $500, and the law abiding is
Il erefOre plainly the economical
course. Mr.. Welch cannot do a
more Just and proper thing, and
therefore more fairly strengthen
himself with the papers and people
of Kansas, than TO rigidly enforce
this as we'll as other sections OF tho
law governing insurance companies
If any part of the law is wrong, le
it be repealed, bot until it is repeal
ed, the only course for all parties
concerned is for the insurance com
: panies to cheerfully comply with it
and for the proper officers TO sc,
that they do comply with it.

Peaches were injured by the cold

Michigan and Pennsylvania re-

a plentiful yield of everything.
In Indiana tie winter and spring

An Innocent MAN Murdered
Inv n NuOh.

We met in our city, Sabbath last,
Rev. Mr.. Callahan, of Topeka, faith
err of one of the young men who
was recently murdered by Sum-
ner county mob, near Dodge City,
on the charge of horse stealing.
It was a sad sight TO look upon the
heart broken old gentleman, and
hear him talk. 1t seems he had
been selling sewing machines in this
vicinity, and had not, till Saturday,
heard of the terrible fate of his son.
He was at Americas, and borrow
ing a horse of Hon. John 10y came
down here to get his mail. Reach
ing here the sad news was confirm
ed by a letter from a party in
Dodge City, which gave him the
particulars. tie was so overcome
that he had to call on bystander to
read the letter. AS near as we can
ascertain, young Callahan was en-
gagged in gathering bones on the
prairie for a man in Dodge. 1t
seems the thief who stole the Sum
ner county horses, came to his cabin
while the pursuers were close after
him, and was found there by them.
Both were taken and hung. The
old gentleman says his boy had
been rightly raised, with religious
training, aud had never committed
any crime. He is perfectly satisfied
of his sons entire innocence. There
is now no doubt but that Lewal-
len and his party committed q cold
blooded murder of an innocent
man, and they should be made to
suffer the consequences. What
makes the affair doubly sad is the
fact that the boys mother is an in
valid, and it is fesred, when she
hears tho news of tbs fate of her
son, it will kill her. The news
had been kept from her up to Sab
bath, in order that the father might
reach home and he present when
she learned the sad facts in the case.

We are again to have the musical
chink of silver in our pockets. Ii
has already been sent out in large
quantities, aud is rapidly taking the
place of the paper postal currency.
The redemption of the fractional
CURRENCY began in the large cities
on the Goth, and there was some
thing of j rush to get silver. In
Chicago $4,000 was paid out at the
sub-treasury, twice as much as in
New York and PHILADELPHIA.
The Kansas City Journal re-
marks:
In all the cities named as distrib-
uting points by the secretary of the
treasury, large amounts of silver
have been paid out in redemption
of fractional currency, and will
gradually find its way into retail
transactions. 1t will not be many
days until the "chink" of silver will
be heard everywhere in substitu-
ton for the ragged-edged currency.
1t ia now about 10 years since silver
passed out of circulation, and dur
ing that time the people Rave be-
come so famlliarized with the pa.
per substitution as to have almost
forgotten the appearance of Ameri-
can coin. The child that was ten
years old in 1861 is twenty five
years old now, and has grown from
youth to manhood without any ex,
detrimental knowledge of hard cur,

currency is not resumption,

money advocates as q valuable
auxiliary in that direction.
