THE DELEGATES.

The list of delegates appointed
BY Mr.. Montgomery to the Ruston
Convention appears in this issue of
the TIMES. The list is objection
able in several respects. The gen.
tlemen, personally, are unobjec-
tionable, but they are, with one or
two exceptions inexperienced in
convention matters. Such men as
Mr.. Eb. Smith and Mr.. VIM. Nc
Dowell would add strength to the
delegation. Maj Waddill being up
North, Of course cannot be at the
convention. Unless the delegates
were notified Of their appointments
anterior to the PRONUNCIATION of the
list, (late Thursday afternoon,
some of them will not know it in
time, if the mails are used to notify
them, for the mail to omega goes
out Tuesdays and Thursdays.
King should have had at least
seven of the ten delegates, and no
Lott or Wells man should have q
place on the delegation. The mass
meeting wanted King and failing
him, Murdoch, any other repre-
sentation on the delegation, is
contrary to the expressed will OF
the people.

Excitement in Texas,

Great excitement has been
caused in the vicinity of Paris,
Texas, by the remarkable recovery
of Mr.. j. E. Corley, who was so
helpless he could not turn in bed,
or rase his head, everybody said
he was dying of Consumption. A
trial bottle of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery was sent him. Finding re-
lief, he bought a large bottle and a
box of DR.. Kings New Life Pills:
by the time he had taken two
boxes of Pills and two bottles of
the Discovery, he was well and
had gained in flesh thirty-six
pounds.

covery for Consumption free at

"A young lady IN Pike county,
who was watching binding har.
vester at work fell upon the table
and was carried up with the grain.
AS the girl was of about the size OF
a bundle the machine did not rec.
ognize the difference, and so she
came through with a neat little
string around her waist. One Of
the harvest hands caught her as
the machine Kicked her out, and
set her on the ground right side up,
when it was found that she had
been more frightened than hurt. /"

LIFE INSURANCE.

That no man with a family
should be without insurance on his
life is a self evident proposition.
1t is also equally clear that every
man contemplating matrimony,
should insure his life. AS the cost
of life insurance is greater as a man
gets older, it is of benefit to take
out policy as soon as possible.
In the past, insurance has been ex-
pensive, but new plans are contin-
ually being introduced, an d cheaper
rates made until now, the burden
is very light, and within the reach
of ali. Among the cheap plans
are the secret Societies, of which
the Knights of Pythias and the
Knights of Honor, are the most
conspicuous. The attractive fea-
lures of these orders are the low
rates of insurance, but they could
establish even lower rates, were it
not for the expensive machinery
required to run the orders.
1t has been a theory of life in
surance that ga proper reserve af-
fords a guaranty for the ultimate
payment of every dollar of risk
assumed" This theory, if good,
would result in success to all hon.
estly conducted life insurance COM
panies, but, life insurance COM
panies do fail, many have failed in
the last few years, and they will
continue to fail. To keep life in
surance company going,the member
ship must be kept up, and immense
sums have been spent and are now
being spent to keep up the men,
bership. Many people object to
secret orders, but yet want life in
surance. The ordinary plan of
life insurance is too expensive.
In order to place life insurance
in reach of all, there has been or
ganized in New York (and the
New York laws regarding insurance
are very strict) company with
little or no machinery, and which
is thus enabled to furnish the low
est possible insurance, accompan.
led by absolute security. This is
the Security Mutual Benefit So
ciety organized in 1881, whose ad-
vertisement may be found in this
issue of the TIMES. The plan of
the company and rates of insurance
can be obtained at this office, and
all in want of insurance would do
well 10 call here and get full infor-
nation. AS a matter of COMPARE
son of cost, the following figures,
showing cost of each $1,000 of in
surance including annual dues for
the year 1885, are given:

A hotel here is needed here very
much. There is good opening for

well here
I think when our Creator made
Kansas He did his best. I think he
had arranged his tools all in good or.
der, rolled up His sleeves. spit on His
hands, and when he put on the finish
ing touch was when he made Sedg-
wick county.
Kansas, the geographical center OF
our union, her head pillowed upon
Ne. aska, her feet stretching toward
the sunny south, with the glittering
Rocky mountains west of her, and
stretching through many degrees OF
latitude and longitude, we havs the
choice of many products and many
means of independence. Here
but few years ago where
nature slept in all her solitary
loveliness = gigantic country has been
born. Labor and art are adjoining
and science is exalting our land tina!
religion has sanctified and liberty re-
deemed. This part of the country IN
former days rang with the savage war
whoop, now she rings with the iron
horse and the industrious mechanics
hammer.
c. Wiltbee has rented Charley Car

CALDWELL,
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Everything is on the move here at
present. The great amount of gov
ernment freight that is sent into the
Territory from here gives employment
to host of freighters.
Ii is no uncommon thing to see from
fifty to one hundred wagons heavily
loaded, move out in one morning.
Some of these men have got splendid
outfits-finc horses and mules, good
harness and wagons Of the best quality
that can be had.
These men take a great pride in
having things look nice US well rs hay
ing them good and stanch.
Freighters, as they go ont and come
in on the trail and the frequent ap-
pearance of the "Nob!e Red Man" on
our streets, all combine TO give the
city of Caldwell picturesque appear
ance such as cannot be found else
where, unless it may be in some other
border town.
Last year over 100000 pounds of
government freight was sent from
Caldwell to the forts and agencies in
the Indian Territory.
One thing in particular is much
needed here and that is a first-cla.s
Touring mill. 1; would be splendid
paying Investment. There is no better
wheat country in the state of
Kansas than that surround
ing Caldwell and the prospect for a
good wheat crop this year is rcmarka-
bly, fine.
There is one Touring mill here that
makes very good flour, but it has not
got capacity enough for this place.
Judging from the amount of flour
shipped in here from other points,
there can be no doubt that good -four
Ing mills would pay well and be q
great acquisition to the city of Cald-
well.
TAs work On the water works is
progressing slowly, but surely. The
stand pipe Is up nearly Que hundred
feet, and when completed it will be
ono hundred and fifty feet in height.
They are working on the
reservoir and building the engine
house.
There has been nothing done, as
yet, toward digging the trenches for
IL mains, - TIE piping has been de-
hyed h some way, but it is daily cx-
pieeod, aad then the work will be
pushed to completion, so as to be oper-
alton by July 1.

10th of this month.
