ance association, which has Its offices in
Kansas City, Kansas, left home last
Wednesday and their families profess
ignorance regarding their whereabouts.
&. e. Sem, the assistant secretary Of
the concern, it is learned, is also
missing and has been absent
for over Q week. An attachment
was taken out to-day by the Kansas City
Bank Note company for Sl,79S. That
firm held the check Of the company for
S600, which went 20 protest. An inves-
tigatiOn reveals the fact that the COM
pany's books have disappeared, hence no
statement OF affairs can be made,
though Il. Helger of Wyandotte, the
treasurer, says that only one policy OF
present due remains unpaid. What
ever surplus the company may
have had has presumably dis
appeared. The company was organ
lied In December, 1882. and located In
this city, but owing to restrictions Of the
state laws was obliged to move across the
line into Kansas, In which state they
have carried on q somewhat extensive
business. The company is operated on
the cooperative plan, leVying an assess

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Special tele-
grams to Bradstreet's report continued
full volume of general business, though
there have been less favorable advices
from several points.
While the movement OF staple products
from Boston has been good, It has been
less regular, notably in dry goods,
which, however, Is regarded as natural
after the exceptional activity enjoyed Of
late.
At 81. Louis new business continues to
be reported, but the rates OF increase are
less than previously noted.
There Is greater tone to trade at New
Orleans, where the predicted earthquake
appears to have prevented the appear
ance of the country buyers to some eX-
tent. The retail trade st Savannah has
been checked since the late disturbance
Of the earthquake: and there remains OF
course, much TO be done At Charleston
before the commerce Of that city reaches
its former proportions.
Owing to late failures on the Pacific
coast, business at San Francisco IL more
quiet and somewhat unsettld. At most
other cities the full volume OF CONNER
cial transactions already noted exceed
the totals at like periods in Immediately
preceding years and in nearly all In

AN interesting story Is told by the
Washington correspondent of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal. Hesays that while
the democratic campaign book was beng
edited, prominent democrat proposed to
pay $1,000 for the privilege of writing one
page Of It. He was asked what he desired
to write. He said: 81 only want to write
one line to be printed on one page 1t
shall be good democratic campaign mate
rial" The proposition was accepted, and
the next day the gentleman presented a
certified check on Riggs s. Co.'s bank for
81 600 and slip of paper upon which was
written ia a bold hand: ITO the victors
belong the spOIls." The member of the
committee looked at the check, then at the
sentence, scratched his head and returned
both to the giver, saying: 81 agree with
you. but cannot accept your proposal
The prominent democrat tore up both
check and paper upon which the famous
matter was written, and walked out of the

A CORRESPONDENT, who had frequent
opportunities of seeing Geronimo face to
face, says he is young brave, under so,
of handsome figure and fine bearing. He
has never been wounded, and apparently
his band would have been good for many
more months of guerilla warfare had not
their supply of ammunition given out
This account of Geronimo agrees with the
sketch given by Captain John q. Bourke
IN mis- IAN Apache Campaign" In that
work Captain Bourke describes Geronimo,
whom he call Hieronymo, as one of the
youngest and handsomest Of the ChIrica-
hua Apache chiefs, but one who, IN spite
Of his youth, exercised great influence
over his companions.

WHEN the prohibition vote was made
a moral and not a political issue the four
states, Maine, Ohio, Iowa and Kansas,
gave q prohibition vote of 900, but
only $4,000 votes for prohibition
when the cause was political. In Iowa
the cause of prohibition received IN non
political campaign 1e5, 900 votes, but the
political campaign OF 1884 reduced that
vote for the cause of temperance to 1.472
This shows the backward movement the
cause Of temperance receives when placed
in the domain of politics.
