The charge is made that the cost OF insur-
ance is 10 per cent. greater than ia stock com
panies. This statement is not true, and we
challenge any reliable, responsible Stock Com
pany to substantiate the charge Besides, the
form OF the policy In the Mutual Is such that a
party can afford to pay so per cent. more on
personal property than in stock companies,
and then get cheaper insurance. Stock con,
panies do not give what are known as blanket
policies. In the Mutual every kind of personal
farm property is insured without being speci-
lied; and in that way apolcy of 81 900 will
insure more than one OF $1,000 in policy
where every thing is specified or classed off.

safe insurance. and, second, cheap insurance.

The treeles pralries OF Iowa bud fair, a hun
dred years hence, to supply the forest states OF
the northwest with timber and lumber for. as
the present timber states are rapidly using no
their timber, Iowa Is rapidly covering her for
inerly bare prAries with forests. And, as the
Iowa forests are all artifcially planted, OF
course the more valuable varieties OF trees are
selected for planting. Some years ago the
Legislature OF Iowa passed law to encourage
the planting OF trees. This law provided that.
for every acre OF valuable forest trees success
fully planted, 800 OF assessed valuation of
property should be exempted from taxation for
ten Year,. This law has operated so we'll that
this year six millions Of dollars worth of prop
erty is exempted under the law, releasing taxes
to the amount Of s1sO,OOO, which have to be
reassessed upon other property. This shows
sixty thousand acres of trees thus planted al.
ready; and the planting is steadily increasing.
so that the legislature will probably soon altar
the law. so as to offer less premium. as the
practice Of tree planting is now we'll established.

While Democratic spokssmen and orators
pretended that they have not opposed the
rights OF negroes to leave the south and go to
Kansas II they please, official facts show that
they have made war upon such steamboats, as
dared carry negroes north. Captain J. NJ
Bofnger, OF st. Louis, representing number
OF steamboat lines on the Mississippi river, has
gone to Washington and complained, before the
treasury department., that number OF steamers
have been seized and tied up at various points
on the Mississippi because they dared to carry
negroes north. on their way to Kansas, against
the orders OF the planters. Ho says that these
boats found the banks OF the Mississippi crowd
ed with colored retugees, WHO wanted passage
north, and offered the nioneyiito pay for it
and that the boats in common humanity, took
the refugees TO st. Louis. And, he says, the
planters have taken their revenge by swearing
out hbels against the boats for carrying more
passengers than their licenses allow. Now, he
says, the boats are daily loaded to the waters
edge with refugees from the yellow fever; the
boats carrying constantly more than the law
allows, but nobody complains, and the special
circumstances are generally considered suffi-
ciens excuse. But the negro refugees, who
had sold their all for means to 60 north, would
have lost all they we're worth in the world il
refused passage; and many Of them did so
ose their ALL 'ltwas case where the demands
Of humanity rose superior to the law. The
captain declares that these libel proceedings
are dictated solely by the hostility Of the
southern whites to the liberty and rights OF the
'olored people. He asks the treasury depart
nent to order the libes discontinued and the
'oats released. u

Big Frank, the Alleged Counter
fciter. Vet nj Large.

Sheriff Miller, who has been chasing
Frank Schalata, the alleged counter
feiter, returned yesterday without the
fugitive. Big Frank jumped from the
train near Hot Springs week ago last
night, while being taken to Carson to an
swer to the charge of making counterfeit
coin. Sheriff Miller left here on Monday,
and with trusty Indian named Gimme
bar Bill, got on Schalata's track where
he jumped of the train, short dis
lance east of Hot Springs. The track
led first in the direction of Honey Lake,
but afterwards bore north into the
lower end of Quin River valley. From
there Schalata went to. the sulphur
mines, where the Sheriff learned he ar
rived last Wednesday noon, and got
his dinner, having travelled 100 miles
i'll two days and half. At the sui
.phur mines he wrapped his feet in bar
ley sacks, took demijohn of water and
took north-easterly course. He kept
on rocky ridges as much as possible,
making it difficult to track him. Sat-
urday they following his track some
thirty or forty miles northeast of the
sulphur works, and could not tell how
far ahead he was when they gave up
the chase. Last evening Sheriff Miller
and Deputy Sheriff Pryor, with Indian
guides, started out again, and they
were confident of finding him some
where in the northwestern part of the
county, as his feet must be swollen and
lacerated to such an extent as to make
it impossible for him to travel much
farther without rest. Er4f
