The school in District No. ?, came

Political.

Our popular young friend, S. R. Gil
ham, we learn will be candidate on the
republican side of the fence for the nomina-
ton for Register and Recorder.
p. J. Meehan's name is being very
freely and favorably mentioned in connec-
ton with the democratic nominations for
the Legislature.
Bernard Phillips, the present gentle
manly incumbent of the Register and Re
corder's office, will undoubtedly receive a
denomination for that position by the dem
ocratic party.
The republican feeling at Mauch
Chunk, as in other places, is strongly in
favor of the denomination of our talented
young townsman, Hon. W, NJ. Rapsher, fol
the Legislature.
The nomination of DIR. j. G. zern, o
Weissport, by the democrats, for the Stat,
Legislature, appears to be a settled fact
Right, the doctor is a sterling representativ,
of the young democracy.

A second attempt to assassinate the EN-

"A second attempt to assassinate the En-
peror William of Germany, occurred at
about two o'clock on Sunday afternoon last.
The facts, as telegraphed, appear to be as
follows: At that hour his majesty was
driving down Unter den Linden towards the
Thiergarten, when two shots were fired at
him from a second story window of one of
the houses. The Emperor was badly wound
ed in the shoulder and face by the first shot,
about 80 small slugs entering his person.
The carriage was Immediately turned in the
direction of the palace, and medical aid
summoned, and a portion of the shot ex-
tracted, leaving the wounded monarch in a
very PROSTATE condition. The would-be
assassin is socialist, or communist, and
stoutly resisted arrest, but finding resistencC
unavailable, fired two balls into his OWL
head. His name is Karl Edouard Modelling
and a quantity of arms were found in hi
apartments. He used a double barreleC
gun in firing at the Emperor.

A Good Life Insurance Association.

Recently there was inaugurated in Allen
town life insurance company which has
undertaken TO do business on purely mu-
tual principle. To insure the success of
company Of this character from the start, the
first and most important requisite is that
confidence should be secured, and this the
Keystone Mutual Benefit Association has
done by the selection of some of the best
known business men for officers and direc-
tors, men in whom the public cannot fail to
have confidence because of their lifelong
reputation for integrity and careful business
habits.
The association has therefore met with
wonderful success from the very start and
o,,= five hundred policies have been written
during the past three months, which repre-
sent insurance to the amount of one million
dollars. This is an average Of over $50
policies per month since the first policy was
issued, with an average monthly insurance
of overS300 900. We believe thatno similar
organization in the United States can make
such showing as this. The association is
further strengthened by the excellent char
acter of its risks, the good character and
respectability of the insured, and in Allen
town, where those who control the organiza-
ton are best known, the leading profession
al and business men have insured.
The plan on which the ASSOCIATION does
business is the cheapest, as well as the safest,
known in life insurance, and is founded on
the most careful calculations on the expert
ence of u long term of years. 1t is said of
this system by one of the foremost mathema-
ticians of the country that
"The uniform system was adopted, first,
because of its simplicity and cheapness
second, because of its equality in that it
makes the entire membership, end not a
class, the basis of assessment, and thus dis
tributes the burdens and benefits Of all the
members upon the principles of equality
We conclude, then, that an attentive con-
sideration of the past years in life insurance
will show this that the system herewith
presented is equitable, is safe, is cheap, is
profitable to the policy holders and to the
community at large"
Persons desiring to insure their live;
should examine all the features of this as
socation, which, upon investigation, will
prove all that is claimed for them. The
Office of the company is located in the fines
building in the city, in the room formerly
occupied by the Empire Bank, where it ha
the advantages of superior fire and burg
| lar proof vault, and under its present ener
getic and careful management it is probably
destined to assume leading position amont
the life insurance organizations Of the coun

The President has signed the bill pro-
hibiting any further contraction of the legal
tender circulation. This result had been
anticipated by the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, and he therefore cancelled no legal
tender notes for the month of May, although
the increase of national bank notes during
the month called for the cancellation of up
wards of $l,6OO,OOO legal tenders. The
amount of legal tender left outstanding is,
therefore, $S46,6sl ,Ol6, and all hope is
abandoned of reducing the total to $780,
100000.
