twenty-five per Cent Dividend.

Few commercial institution pay n
dividend Of twenty-five per cent, yet
that is the size Of the dividend declared
to the holders Of policies in the com
mercial department Of the Dakota
Mutual Insurance Company, of Huron.
The first year closes October 22d, and %
per cent of tie premium notes will be
returned at the expiration Of policies.
The company has suffered numerous
losses, but has always been first to
pay" 1t ia one Of the very few mutual
companies in which policy holders are
not liable for more than their premiums.
Do not forget this fact. With the same
per centage of losses for the next year a
still larger dividend will be declared.
About 1000 Dakota business men now
have their property insured in the Da-

insure with it. Ask A. Il. Feay, local

w. S. Tilton responded with speech, Ii
which he declared, among other things,
that upon the broad grounds of common
sense it was proper to predict the sue
cess of the ticket placed in nomination
to-day. He cited the fact that whatever
there is to show in the nature of financial
thrift in connection with the public
affairs of Trego county is clearly due to
the action of the Republican party.
[Applause.] He said it would be i'm
proper to make any Understanding prom
Uses, but that il he is elected, he shall DO
his whole duty, according to the best OF
bis ability. Judge Conger said that, had
he not intended to accept the nomination,
he would not have permitted his
name to come before the convention.
[Applause.l He had attempted to
perform faithfully his duties as pro-
bate Judge, and, if reelected, would
continue to do so. Judge Harlan said he
had misgivings about accepting office on
so short residence in the county, but,
that, if elected, he would discharge the
duties of county attorney to the best of
his ability. He said he was one of the
