This morning We present our readers with
the statement OF the New York Life Insurance
Company. This company is represented in
Kansas by Mr.. e. L. Tilliuchast, Of this city.
In this State its business is rapidly growing,
and there Is no reason why it should not, as
Mr. TIllInghast has one OF the best companies
in the world TO work for, and is himself a
most untiring and energetic agent. The fol-
lowing notice from the Standardization
Journal is worthy ofattention:
The thirty-third annual report of the New
York Lie Insurance Company Is thor
oughly satisfactory and gratifying document.
ticeable points are tiiaJ tie Interest receipts
are at the rate of over D per cent. on the IN
tire assets, and more tnan cover the entire
combined payments on craih-loeses, matured
and discounted endowments and hnnuities !;
thai the premium losses ON policies steadily
diminish, the company having for num-
Der OF years transacted its new BUSH
ness exclusively for cash; that the "un-
realized" assets also diminish; and what Is
more remarkable-ihai there is Slight in
crease in the business. In ls16, only two COM
panies in the State of NeW-lork, besides the
NEW YORK LIFE,-and those two were young
companies,-succeeded in getting through the
year without having less insurance out
standing than at the beginning. As TO 49,,
the NEW YORK LIFE is the only one of those
which has made any gain. Although eXcep-
tionable, in these hard times and the general
distrust, this result is nota all unaccountablr.
This great company is iiseifo one ofihe barriers
which limit ia spread OF disrust. IL is one
of the pioneers, organized in 1913, before the
extent of life insurance vas foreseen, and II
has grown solidly, as the Osk grows. There
Is nothing practicable in life insurance
which IL has not always furnished. Its MAJ
agement has always been conservative; ats
obligations have never met either discount,
delay or question; its reputation was always
gilt-edged, and was never better than to-day.
No financial corporation could be more finn
~ established or more worthy OF trust.

Ehe-GOurts.

There was something out of the ordinaiy
| routine of things in the usually staid and
solemn District Court yesterday, where a
prisoner tried TO strike a bargain with the
Judge. Sometime ago John Kelly stole a
suit of clothes from a boarding house on
Cherokee street, and being caught in the act
of putting the aforesaid stolen clothing on,
was nabbed by the relentless and unfeelipg
minions Of the law, and locked up. When
BROUGHT BEFORE THE BAR
yesterday morning, he informed Judge Gro
zier that if he (the judge would let him of
with one year in the penitentiary he would
plead guilty, but il the time was extended
beyond that period he wouldn't. The Judge
couldn't make trade with John, however,
and after several attempts TO clincn the bar.
gain the latter came to the conclusion that
he wasn't guilty, and plead accordingly. His
trial, therefore, will come up at the Septem-
Der term Of the court, when he may, perhaps.
induce the Judge to alter his decision made
yesterday and make the trade.
SENT Up FOR SEVEN YEARS.
John Jay, who made a deliberate bid for
the State penitentiary some time ago by
stealing honse in broad daylight, from the
alley in the rear of the fire department, was
sentenced yesterday morning to seven years
confinement in the Hotel de Hopkins, with
hard labor as q recreation. Jay has served
one term in that institution, and also, one in
the Indiana State boarding house, and prison
life will be accordingly no new experience for
him. Il seems TO be the opinion OF many
thavJay stole the horse for the purpose of
getting into the peni entiary, and certainly
the circumstances attending the theft and
the bungling manner in which the deed was
done would seem to justify that belief.

in the perpetration Of the fraud.

Two Runaway.

An exciting runaway occurred yesterday
afternoon about half past two O'Clock, but
owing 10 the most fortunate of circumstances
no one was hurt. Mr.. l.. b. wheai's horse
while standing in front of Richards harness
shop, became frightened at a flying piece OF
paper, and tore up Delaware street at a furi.
Gus rate, turning into Fifth street and wind
ing up at the northwest corner Of that thor
oushfare and Shawnee street, where it fell
upon the stone pavement, after having col.
lided with a hack standing there and break
ing the tongue of the aforesaid vehicle The
buggy was overturned and dragged for more
than half square, but received slight inju-
ries. As Fifth street is always crowded, IL
was little short Of a miracle that the damage
was no greater.
Mr.. George Collins team ran away later in
the evening, breaking a wheel of the WAGON
at the corner OF Second and Cherokee streets.
