he was in earnest. The Illinois Central
men attached great Importance te the cir
cumstance that Mr.. Stickney did not
know when he would return to Dubuque
from Minneapolis. and thought he was
acting in the interest of Illinois Central
men who wanted to renew their lease of
the Dubuque and Sioux City at a lower
rate than is charged at present and for
the purpose of frightening the D. &.
s. C. into a concession, and would per-
haps build ten miles of road in the next
| ten months. The c. NJ. g. St. p. men
| thought that when the Minnesota s.
| Northwestern was completed to Mona,
| the fate of the D. s.. N. w. was settled
that by pretending that he intended to
build the D. s. N. w., President Stick.
ncy of the NJ. &. n. w. had succeeded in
getting what he wanted out of the ILL
nois Central. On the other hand the in.
Inmates of Mr.. Bnrtch are hopeful that
the road will be built.-Du6uque Tele,

President Stickney of the Minnesota &
Northwestern road last week Tuesday
said to Globe reporter that he did not
intend doing much ON the construction OF
the Dubuque & Northwestern road this
season. Just what his reasons for this
are he would not say, but one is said to be
on account of the city of Dubuque not
raising the sum of 100000 to help the
enterprise along, as it agreed to do.
This will delay the completion and
operating over the Minnesota & North
western short line to Chicago by way of
Dubuque. and 1t will run by way of
Forreston to Chicago by the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy and the Illinois
Central, as it has made arrangements to do
1t was stated yesterday that the Illinois
| Central had practicallycompletcd arrange.
mcnts with the Minnesota & Northwest,
ern whereby it would run its trains
through from Chicago over the latter line
and pay wheelage to the Minnesota &
Northwestern. If this is so, it sets at
rest the many rumors circulated that the
new line will be controlled and operated
by the Illinois Central. In regard to
business to Des Moines, Mr. Stckney
says there will be no difficulty in making
arrangements on freight, but passenger
matters will require more attention and
matters on that traffic will be ha,der to
fix up. All passenger trains from Iowa
are running so that it will be impossible
to make connections for points further
south, and Mr.. Stickncy is now busying
himself in trying to have the lines run
ming south from that point make new
time tables so that close connections can
be made.
CO.OPERATIVE LIE INSURANCE.
1t is conceded by all classes that CO.
operative or assessment Life Insurance is
Hon. Elizur Wright, ex-Insurance Com
missioner of Massachusetts,, and the cost
is not more than onc-third of the cost of
so called old-linc Insurance 1t is also
conceded by all that have had experience
that the joint feature originated and
adopted by and belonging exclusively to
the Kaw Life Association has materially
reduced the cost per $1,000 Insurance
besides placing man and wife, or each
person named in policy, on the same
basis. The following statement speaks
for itself, and shows the average yearly
