THE GUARANTY FUND LIFE INSURANCE
co.

The Guaranty Fund Life Insurance com
pany of this city is meeting with the sue
cess which it so well deserves. 1t is only
six months since they wrote the first pol
icy and they have over one half of a mil
lion dollars of insurance on their books
Notwithstanding the dull state of business
they are writing over 10000 month.
Their plan is looked upon very favorably
wherever presented and with such gentle
men at its head as the present officers and
with the push of its managers and their
agents IL will soon be acknowledged to be
the leading life insurance company OF the
west. Furnishing insurance at its actual
cost, having the experience OF the past 10
guide them, accommodating reserve fund
TO protect any unusual death rate and div
idends, the surplus back among its policy
holders as a dividend, thereby reducing
the cost in after years, are the features
which commend it TO the public.

PREPARING DEFENSE,

The city council some weeks ago having
sprung the question of revising and COM
pilinE the city ordinances, and some of the
members intimating that the city attor-
ney and city clerk should do the work
without extra compensation, the city
clerk wrote to a number OF cities to get
information on that sort of work. Re
plies have been received from Topeka,
Leavenworth, Atchison, Kansas City and
Omaha, and in each city 1t is stated that
attorneys special for that kind of work
have been employed, paving the same
from three hundred dollars TO ten times
that amount. The city clerk was prompted
to the correspondence hoping to get some
defensive facts for himself and the city
attorney. If the question is introduced
again he will draw them on the
council in the spirit of an object lesson
City attorney thinks it an outrage 10
ask him 10 do the work at regular salary.
When the council ordered him TO do it
some time ago he would not and declared
that he never would. One member of the
council said the city attorneys salary had
been raised with the understanding he
would do the work desired.
There are SIS ordinances and many are
said TO be Of no use as they conflict with
state laws. There are parts of ordinances
repealed and number mutilsted more or
less requiring attention. Many had been
drawn up 10 suit the pet notions of some
member with local ailment and little at
tention paid 10 validity and frequently the
police Judge had found ordinances which
be knew were illegal, and in a way for the
defect not 10 be observed by the defen-
dant he would dispose of the case.
The task is looked upon as of magnitude
calling for disagreesble clerical work and
a good knowledge Of law.

WELL DONE" SAY THE PEOPLE.

The people on Mosley avenue are talking
quite complimentary OF the Kansas Mid
land company as result of their action
on the ballast question Some days ago
some of the people living on the avenue
asked that the road be ballasted from
Douglas north TO Fifteenth street In a
few days work was commenced and the
ballasting has been completed from Doug
las to Central. 1t is reported as good
job, also allowing wagons To pass over it
quite easily. 1t is said TO be the best track
in the city for the streets, giving less
trouble 10 drivers and making the street
of more value to those living along it and
using it. The people in that parb of the
city are quite anxious that the Rock Island
and the Santa Fe do likewise, making the
streets they occupy of some value 10 pro-
perty owners and the city at large,
