Ono Of the fire insurance companies whose
promise Of indemnity it is the privilege OF
property owners in the United States TO
purchase aud rely upon, and whose prompt
ness in settling claims when disaster has
come upon it's customers has been marked
is the Liverpool and London and Globe
insurance company, of England. This com
pany is remarkable alike for its enormous
sixe in respect Of amount Of assets-about
S27. 500, ,QOO-and for the extent Of territory
it coyers-i.s agents being found in almost
every civilized community ON tue globe
From the beginning of the commny's
career in the United States it began to make
an honorable and envi,blc record. and its
manner Of dealing inspired the confidence
Of discerning property owners.
A wear aud a month after the Chicago
disaster came the Boston fire, by which the.
company lost 81, l,429, ,729, and this sum was
paid as was the Chicago loss, promptly and
without disturbing the American assets,
which at that time were more than ~ ,Ooo-
600. ..4,..f,. VII
These two practical demonstrations OF the
company $ strength aud promp'n't'', OF ''s
ability and inclination TO meet without
tlinching whatever disastrous blow should
come to it, in rcascd its popularity and
added largely to its reputation in the United
States.
W. q. Roberts, of YanlStcn is agent for
this populw insurance company. That IS
a perfectly sound and reliable organization
is evidenced by the figures given. MIR.
Roberts will make ont poiices in the liver-
pool and London Globe At as reasonable
rates as any other reliable company. ?

On Wednesday of next week. the Sd OF
October. A. p. Burbank win deliver Sc,
ries of readings in the Congregational
church OF his city. lie comes to Yankton
under the auspices Of tho Yahkton Lecture
Association. From the Brooklyn Times
We take the following, which will give our
readers an idea of whet Mr. Burbank can
do towards entertaining au audience:
A large audience greeted MIR. A. p Bur
burbank at the church of Christian En-
dcavor. on Wednesday evening His read.
ings were followed by storms of enthusias.
scure school teacher in Chicago, Mr.. Bur
bank, is now in the foremost rank of e!ocu-
tionists, and his services are in constant de-
mand BY churches and lyccums throughout
the country.
Mr.. Burbank is u tall Slender man, Of
about thirty, with a smoothly shavrn face,
and large irregular features. In repose his
countcnance is plain aud unprcposscssing,
but his mobility Of expression is truly mi-
raculous, such absolute command Of the
facial muscles being rarely seem His hu-
morous readings were characterized by such
peculiar Contortions of countcnance, that
The entire audience was convulsed with
laughter before he uttered one word The
first piece upon the programme was
"Fa,her Phils Collection" an admirable
selection from Lovers novel Of Handy
Andy" The keen Irish wit and withering
sarcasm of the poor parish priest trying to
persuade his congregation to contribute
money to re.tha,ch their chapel and prevent
the rain from spelling their best bonnets,
was rendered in a manner and a bropue I'm
mi,able. Carleton's New Church Organ
followed, Mr. Burbank convulsing his hear
ers with merriment by perfect mimicry
of sniveling, toothless old lady. The
Charcoal Nun" by Trowbridge, displayed
to advantage the depth, richness and CON-
pass of his voice, which rang out as clearly
and distinctly as bell upon frosty night.
His capab,lity for depicting pathos and
emotion were fully illustrated by the
powerful rendering OF "SIrly- Tins
Troubles" In the broad, peculiar
north of England dialect, he told the hears.
rendering tale, while breathless silence fell
upon the assembly, and many eyes were
suffused with tears. Changing, almost ln-
SANITY from grave to gay, he pulled a few
locks of hair over his forehead, put on a
bashful half stupid expression, pitched his
voice to high discordant key, and gave the
school boys prize comp !sition upon "ihe
Hoss." As an encore he gave recitation
by the same boy, which received perfect.
ovation Of applause. The second part OF
the programme consisted Of some scenes
from Grip Van Winkle," and Buck Fan
shaw's Funeral" by Mark Twain. Through.
out all Mr.. Burbanks readings no trace OF
the elocutionist's art was perceptible, every
tone and gesture being wholly natural and
unstudied

THURSDAY, Sept. q.

Institute opened at 9 o'clock q. m. by roll
call, to which - members responded.
Followed by reading, which was begun by
by vocal exercise, in which "amidst the
frosts" was again honored by practice. Then
"The chieftain' who met that melancholy
fate over which our youthful hearts used to
expend so much sympathy, was again
brought forward with fresh ardor. Follow
ed by very interesting reading lesson from
McGuAey's 5th Reader "The Battle Of
Waterloo This very close attention from
the professor from which each member
must have received benefit. Finished by
defining the principal words.
Next came recitation in common frac.
tions. The professor put complex fraction
on the board, worked it out and explained
it with clearness and dispatch to all. Then
he called to any question or hard point from
any pupil. Numerous acceptances were
made and much knowledge involved there
from which we will long remember. Closed
by exercises in grammar.
Prof. Cation leaves on the noon stage.
We shall greatly miss him and his valuable
aud ready aid. 1t has been great boon
to US. He came full of zeal and love
for the work and surprised every one Of
us with flood of enthusiasm to see how
we'll and thoroughly We could present our
thoughts as the occasion demanded.
And what was of greater value to us, he
had new ways of handling every subject
presented which forced us out Of our old
ruts and sent new ideas into our brains
His patience never has deserted him even
when half dozen pupils were each clamor
ing to establish their own priceless opinion
which we do some of us at least tenaciously
cling. We will thank him for his labor
Of the two days spent at the Turner county
teachers institute held at Swan Lake in its
first session. Well, he ought to know some.
thing for he is big enough. Ed. J. J. Nc
Intire will now take charge of the institute.
He was our old superintendent and has had
very many years experience as teacher in
the best schools in the east. We are glac
to secure his services so cheerfully rendered
His face is always welcome.
Supt. Andrews is giving his whole at
tention to the labor and is deserving o
credit and the thanks Of the people Of
Turner county.

Wheat receipts to-day have amounted to

The narrow gauge road is to be run across
the country twenty miles inland from Green

A special shipment of wheat from Yark-
ton to Chicago last week, sold on the open
market for three cents bushel more than

A Temperance meeting will be held at the
Methodist church thia.evening, under the

invitation to attend is extended to the
public.
The wheat in six cars ,standlng on a side
track last night was tested by c. II. Van
Tassel. and it all assayed sixty two pounds
to the bushel. This wheat was purchased
indiscriminaely, and thrown into the cars
by farmers from various portions of south
ern Dakota. The result shows the average
weight OF this year'scrop. of wheat all over
this portion of the territory.
We interviewed the president of the
Dakota Southern read this morning relative
to the doings at last pightsimeeting of rail
road officials. He committed himself only
so far as to say that the extension of the
Porslandville branch might be built some
time, but that at present the company had
not the means to construct additional road.
We have learned through another channel
that it was positively decided not to build
northward from Portlandville this fall. In
regard to the extension of the road from
Yankton to Springfield, President Wicker
said it would have to be made as soon as
the Nebraska narrow gauge aimed for a
point on the river above Yankton.

Next came grammar which brought out
many new thoughts to those present, par
ticularly rules for the government of words.
All needed rules were condensed into ten,
each of which were pure gold. Certainly
Supt. Cation is king of grammar. Just one
new thought he brought ont of the predi-
cate case, which alone was worth the entire
cost Of the institute, was clearing away u
snag on which pupils have wrecked from
the days of Lindley Murray.
Next an exercise in sorthography. The
professor included definitions and made it a
valuable througha brief recitation.
Then recess which the professor and male
pupils occupied in whit.ling out rests for
the aid of writing class, which he was to
teach afterwards. TheyS were Just pine
sticks about one fourth inch in diameter and
fourteen inches long tapering to a point A
bit of tape long enough to pass around the
back of the right hand with slot in each

square end Of the rest, fastened this rest
to the hand with the tapcring end passing

is complete success.
