ance Company.

Special Dispatch to the mpOria weekly NEwa.
HARTFORD. Conn, Nov. 30, 1ss6.-The
story of the wonderful growth Of Kansas
has read almost like fable to the people
Of the New England etases. Formerly IL
WAS the habit of the more conservative
classes in this fock-ribbed and wealthy
region t. read these stories and smile In.
credulouslY over them. For few Years
past, however, your state, with its kplen.
did resources and rapid growth, has re-
cefVed different kind OF attention, and
the very class of people alluded 10 above
hsve come to regard 1t in theIiight Of what
its papers and public men have always
claimed for It, and have by personal In
speclIon found it to be the safest and eur
est of the western states for monied invest
ments. AS an evidence OF this your cor
respondent to-day learned Of . matter
which will be of interest TO the whole state
OF Kansas. 1t may now be positively stat
ed that the conservative and well known
Connecticut Mutual Life Association will
Immediately enter Kansas as a field for
Investment.
This course was decided upon after q
thorough Investigation of the resources
and prospects Of Kansas by careful agents
ana officers of the company. Their re-
ports Areshighly favorable and compIi-
mentary to your state. They consider
your rich lands the best security to be
found IN the west.
Agencies will be established at conven-
lent points, aAd the determination Of the
Connecticut Mutual Life Company to en-
ter Kansas will be of immense advantage
to Kansas farmers, as they will make lib
ersl rates.

OUR LAWYERS.

The NEWS reporter, In a conversation
with gentleman who spends great deal
of his time around the police courts
learned the following interesting facts con-
corning some of the prominent members
OF the Lyon county bar, The gentleman
said that in the triAl.ofI cases before the
justice of the peace these gentlemen dis
played their various peculIarities, more 30
than in trials in the district court. For
instance. MIR. Sedgwick, of Kellogg &
Sedgwick, will set and whiltle tables and
chairs; in fact, the justice has frequently,
In summing up the costs In . case, taken
into consideration the amount of damage
done TO the furniture by the legal gentle
man. Judge Buck INDUCES In less ex-
pensiVe but no less amusing pastime o
drawing pictures and scribbling on legal
paper. One of his efforts during an in
terestlng trial for long time hung on the
walls OF Judge Fletcher's Office, attracting
the admiration OF all 0eholders. County
Attorney FeIghan has the Yankee habit
OF whiting pine stick during q trial.
The greater the interest In the trial the
bigger the pile of shAvlngs which he &C.
cdmulAtes around his chair. Will Ran
dolph, like Sedgwick, takes 9 nervous in
terest in whiting tables and chairs At
torney Sanders PAGES the floor or tears up
newspapers, bit by bit, covering the floor
with showers of small particles like snow
flakes. WV. Scott behaves himself very
well, as do also Judge Cunningham, Lam.
bert, McCarty and Evans.

year.
TIE following brief notice taken from
the Udall, Cowley county, Record
is but meagre tribute to the many exc
cellent qualities Of head and heart with
which he was endowed:
Father Freeman was one of the old
est settlers in this community. a man
highly respected by all who knew him
for his honest integrity and earnest re-
ligioue convictions. A member Of the
church for forty years and q minister OF
the gospel for thirty five years. he al
ways had q kind word for everybody. he
was q good neighbOr, . kind father. Q
devoted husband. He died As he lived,
q Christian. The day before his death,
while converting with his physician on
religious subjects, he pointed bis fingeE
toward the east window and said he wa
ttIOOkinR out into the vast ocean Of
Gods boundIeas love- and whilst gsz.
ing into that ocean he f8ncied he saw
heaven-that beautiful far-away home
Of the soul. He leaves . wife and i've
children--three sons and two daughter
to mourn bis loss. They have shs
sympathy OF the whole community.

this city. She was born in Cardiganshire,
South Wales. and emIgrated to America
with her parents In the year 1850. settling
in Ohio, where they remained eight years.
In the year 1853 the family came to Kan
sas and settled In Emporis. So we can
consider the family as one among the old
est residents in the city.
Mrs. Jones illness commenced about
three years ago, from which she suffered
more or less for that length of time, with
Christian fortitude and patience.
Last June she went to California, &C.
companied by her husband and other
friends, where they renamed for two
months, during which time she showed
signs of improvement, also for q short
time alter her return, but relapse set in,
which ended in her death as already stated.
She was brought up in the Presbyterian
church, of which she was faithful and
consistent member from Childhood. Upon
heI marriage she Joined, with her hus-
band, the Congregational church, Of which
body she remained faithful member IN
til her death.
Mrs. Jones, among other excellent quail
tiles, was noted tor her charitable and
benevolent disposition, her kindness hav-
ing reached many who were in need u
destitute, which was the case when the
family first settled 10 this state, ana truth
fully can il be said of her, ss of DOrcas OF
old: "And all the widows stood by him
weepinr, and showing the coats and gar
meDts which Dprcas made while she wa
with them"
Besldes q host of friends and AcquAint
ences, she leaves husband, two sons and
two daughters TO mourn her loss. One Of
the sons, Mr.. ]. q. Jones. of the EmpOTi.
National bank, is married. and O0e dAugh
ter, the wife Of Luther Rees. the other tWC
children are unmarried and living .
home. SCI
Mrs. Jones. although conscious Of th'
approach of a'h, was perfectly calm and
composed, aud was only anxious 20 re
cover tor the sake of her husband ana
children, fssiliS log that she was not airAi'
to die, and that 80 be with Christ was la
better.
The funeral will take place to N Gr0S
at 80 p. N at The lower Dry creek Gem
essry. where the Rsvs, Evans, Rees su'

A MUSICAL FEAST.

Yesterday evening Mrs. Simpson gave
a piano recital ct the Y. NJ. @. A. rooms,
assisted by few of her pupils. The au-
dience. although not large, was a very
appreciative one and enjoyed the music
very much. The selections were all fine
and from the best composers, and they
were all rendered in q manner which the
most cultured musician could with diff.
Guilty criticise.
Misses Media Schwartz and Hattie Lskin
played . duett on the piano entitled
Country Dauces," which was very vel
rendered. Mrs. Simpson and Florence
Hood plsyei very difficult selection ar
ranged for two pianos with such skill that
they were heartily applauded.
Hrs. G. 8. Gross rendered two vocal
soloe, sThe Skylarks'' and "PaRe's Song"
in an excellent manner, which were heart
lily appreciated by her auditors and warm
ly applAnded.
The entertainment was closed by the
ski;ltul rendition of Lizt's RhApsodies
No. IA, by Mrs. Simpson.
Another recital will be given this even
ing with an entire change of programme.
Those who Apprt cIate good music well
rendered should be present.
