Las Vegas Hot Springs.

The famous hot springs at Las Vegas, N. M,
will soon be ready for the public patronage,
the Atohison & Topeka railroad having taken
hold of the development of this valuable pro-
perty with view to making the far south
western sanitarium accessible to the travelling
public and affording to invalids the best of
hotel accommodations. The new hotel, con-
tanning 200 rooms is rapidly nearing compile
ton. The railroad company will expend a
large sum of money in the identifying Of the
property. Soon the mountain canon will be-
come formidable rival to the Arkansas hot
springs of longtime celebrity The improve
ments now going on at the springs are under
the charge of Mr.. Clarence Pnllen, one of the
company's engineers, gentleman of excellent
qualifications for his important position Mr..

The Union Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany.
We are pleased to learn that the current
year has been one of success and progress for
this sterling old life office. A number of the
salient features of the Company's honorable
record are grouped together by the careful edi-
tor of the Baltimore Underwater and printed
in the last issue of that trustworthy journal.
We take pleasure in transferring the following
to our columns: The Union Mutual began
the present year with S6,392,075.49 of assets
and S25, O36, 1861 of insurance in force. The
Company, since organization in 1S4s, has re-
ceived in premiums S24, 453, 1880; out of this
sum there has been returned to policy-holders,
in payment of claims, dividends and surren
der values, SIT, AIS, 357. 70, or 1922 per cent;
record of fair and just dealing with members
not surpassed by any life company. From the
premiums received the sum of $7,037, SPILL,
or 2S.78 per cent, was carried to future assess
ments, to which must be added the sum Of
81, 1894 ,S10.24 received from interest on invest
ments, making the sum of So, 632, 631.2 From
this sum there must be deducted the sum of
Sc $40, 555 Sc, which embraces the expense of
management for, 80 years, and the profit and
loss account, to which all alterations of values
made by President Dewitt were necessarily
charged. Th $685. 07549, is the
amount of assets at the beginning of the pres
ent year. Since its organization, the Union
Mutual has paid for death losses and endow-
ments the sum of $s,372,743 or $34.24 out
of every 800 of premiums received; and for
surrender values So ,041 346 90, or $20.62 out of
every 500 of premiums received. Those sums
with $4,001 267 Sc returned in dividends to
polcy-holders, make the sum of ST., 705, 1857. 10,
or $71.22 of each 800 of premiums, which is
the measure of its mutually. This analysis of
the 80 years of the Company's business shows
how every dollar of the policy-holders' pre-
miums has been disposed Of. The bold and
incisive policy of President Dewitt is now
founded upon basis of value which cannot be
questioned. Tie new business of 1880, amount
ing to $2,629,541 of accepted insurance, was
obtained at cost below the average; and in
dicates that as the business of life insurance
improves with the growing prosperity of the
country, President Dewitt will bring the I'm.
ion Mutual to the very forefront of life insur-
ance companies. The Union Mutual, with the
experience of age, and the benefit of enter
prise and practical knowledge in its President,
has, we believe, very bright future"

fortunate young man had fallen into hole,
and coming to the surface, had hit his fore
head against the jagged sides of the ice, which
SO stunned him that he could not pull himself
out of the water. Life was not quite extinct,

sued in few minutes after Mr.. Stevens

Insulting a Woman.

The man Flynn, who is acting as advance
agent of the Uncle Tom troupe, appears to be
bad lot. He amused himself last night by
standing on the sidewalk in front of the
United States hotel and insulting the women
who passed. Among these WIS the wife of
Mr. David Frazier, the hackman, who was
rudely seized around the waist, and subjected
to gross abuse. Had policeman been at hand
the fellow would have been arrested; but be-
fore an officer could arrive he made his
escape.
Tie best thing the Uncle Tom company can
do is to discharge Flynn. Otherwise their
houses in Portland will be empty.
