ASSESSMENT LIFE INSURANCE
What Two Western State Officials
Have to Say Of Recent Examples
IN KANSA

IN KANSAS.
The state insurance superintendent of
Kansas in his annual report Just
issued discusses assessment insurance,
and refers as follows. to the Kaw
Valley Life Association:
This association was the chief of all
the many Insurance ScoundrelS we have
had in Kansas. 1t was incorporated
July -. 1888; complied with the law of
1885, April p, 1885. For 1884 it reported
1928 members: for 1885, 2,377; for 1886,
1871. It's authority to do business was
revoked in August, 1887, after an exam
nation by Assistant Superintendent
Billingslea.
sit appeared from the examination
that nine assessments had been made
since Jan. /, 1887. and losses on three of
them paid, namely: S205.SS on policy
OF $1,000, Sl9S.12 on $1,000, and S13S.O4
on $4,000 policy. Thirteen losses were
paid i'll 1887 on losses accruing previous
to that time. AS small a sum as Sl57.37
was paid on $4,000 policy. The whole
number of policies in force was III. 1t
was an act of mercy to all concerned to
put them out OF pain by killing the COM
pany."
IN NEBRASKA.
The Nebraska auditor OF public ac-
counts has this to say, officially, of
similar concern in his state:
''Some remarkable figures come from
the late uniamented graveyard COM
pany at Beatrice, the Western Mutual
Benevolent association, or as it is now
named, the Western Mutual Life asso-
citation. 1t has total number of poll
eies in force of 145, against ans in
force at the first of the year 1887. Its
record of policies lapsed in the year ag-
gregates the grand total of 3,126. 1t has
1892, 500 written, and received in premi-
ums the year past $50, 537.97, with six
teen losses incurred, aggregatiug &c.,
1854, and in the year it paid eight
markable tumble of the old Western
Mutual benevolent grab bag was largely
due to the exposure of its methods and
looseness of its business at the time of
the last session of the legislature"

On request of Maj. Powell, of the
United States geographical survey, Terri
torial Engineer Mead. Hon. j. A. John
ston and Col. A. t. Babbitt left for Den
yer yesterday morning and will consult
with the federal officials at that place to-
day. Ex-Governor Warren and Delegate
Carey sent a letter on the subject of the
necessity of sCorage reservoirs for Wyo-
ming.
Mai. Powell is to disburse 81, O00. 900
appropriated by congress for the construc-
ton of storage reservoirs in this region.
He will discuss the project to expend a
portion of the money in the territory
with the Cheyenne men whom he sum
moned. The Wyoming delegation will
doubtless ably present the claims of the
section they represent. If any work is
attempted in this section it will be on a
large scale.

The Fort Collins Express says mining
men of that place are corresponding with
the owners Of the new electric process of
reduction. A plant for the Talley system
is being erected in Longmont. This sys.
tenn is claimed to be nearly perfect. 1t
will treat the most refractory ores and
separate the different metals. The plant
would doubtless have been erected in
Fort Collins if coal could have been o b.
tanned here as cheaply as in Longmont.
1t is proposed, in order to obviate the
necessity Of using steam as a motive
power, to erect a plant in the Poudre
canyon, perhaps in the vicinity of the Rus
tic, where cheap and ample water power
can be obtained. The electricity would
be generated at that point, and transmit
ted by wire to surrounding!mining camps,
where the reduction apparatus would be
located. Should this system prove a sue
cess the reduction Of ore would be revo-
lutionized.
As for water power, there Is an unlmit,
ed amount in the Poudro canyon, where o
good head of water can be obtained every
quarter of a mile. There are evidently
great possibilities in such a scheme.

Union Pacific Rolling stock.

l1bAN 1NhN SAhs
The Union Pacific road is receiving ten
new freight cars daily. SO that the car
famine is in a measure letting up. Ten
new excursionist ~sleepers are also being
delivered to the road,
The big Union Pacific Wotten engines
that burn slack ard have the cab perched
on the boiler center, ride as easy as a
Pullman coach; SO says Mr.. Parker, who
has been riding on them. The great
weight on the driver spring does this, and
the engineer rides as though seated in a
cushioned chair. These locomotives are
very economical, and prove to be excel
lent steamers.
The Union Pacific has in the past year
purchased about fifty locomotives, at a
cost of $1,000 to $4,000 each; twenty
passenger coaches costing from $4,000 to
81, 800 each; thirty tourists sleepers cost
ing about s., 200 each: twenty-four Pull
man palace cars costing from 49, 600 TO
SIG, 900, and about one thousand freight
cars. The company built a large number
of coaches and freight cars.

Having been so highly favored with
the kind attention and ready material aid
of our friends and neighbors in words of
comfort and efforts of relief, and specially
by the prompt and hearty attention of
those noble bodies, the Masonic Order
and the Ancient Order of United Work
men in the hours of our greatest trial and
darkest bereavement, we therefore desire
to express in this public way our heartfelt
thanks to those friends. More than you
have done could not have been performed.
During the preparation for the funeral
services, and since in your prof
fers of aid, you have shown the purest
charity and the most exalted appreciation
OF the highest teachings known to men.
So far as you have been able you have
taken'away the sting of those sad days.
Hoping so sad a visitation may never
come to any of your hearts or homes,
we are gratefully yours,

ON THE TRAIL.
Officers Following the Brutal Van
nice Murderer.
The Man Seen in the Hills West
of Cheyenne.
A Large Attendance at the vannice
Funeral Sunday.

The search for the Vannice murderer
is now being prosecuted quite vigorously,
and the officials believe that they will sue
coed in failing the brutal assassin.
Sheriff Sharpless is still out, but wired
to his Office twice Yesterday. In the morn,
ing he left Laramie with the deputy sher-
if Of Albany county and made a search
through the country about the head OF
Dale creek. In the afternoon be sent a
telegram from Sherman saying that there
were no definite tidings of the fugitive.
1t is SAID that the sheriff intends remain
ing in the field until the murderer is cap
tured, or until there is positively no hope
of his apprehension.
Sunday it was reported on good author
ity that a wanderer answering the de-
scription of the brutal tramp had been
seen in the vicinity Of Silver Crown.
Prof. Stanton, who visited the camp on
that day, was shown the peculiar trail of
the fleeing murderer. The man had en-
tered two different tunnels and in one
had evidently remained for some time
seated on IA powder barrel.
On the receipt OF reliable information
that the man was in the hills to the west
of the city, Deputy Sheriff Moore, who
had been in the saddle all of Friday and
Saturday, and Special Deputy Charleton,
left the city Sunday evening and are still
out. They are armed with Winchesters
and can try conclusions with the muir.
derer at long range. 1t was said several
times yesterday that these plucky pur-
suers were close on the trail of the
mGn.
While there is every probability that
the fellow fled to the hills it is somewhat
remarkable that he has not yet called at a
ranch for food. 1t is, of course, Ger.
tain that he has secured food some.
where, but the fact that. no ranchman
reports having entertained him somewhat
shakes the belief that he is hiding in the
hills. However, nearly everyone now
thinks that the man is lodging about
between here and Laramie awaiting a ia
verable opportunity to board a train. If
this is the case he can scarcely escape.
The people still loudly clamor for the
capture of the assassin, but the revengeful
spirit has become softened and it is more
than probable that no attempt to lynch
the man-in the event of his incarceration
would be made.
The remains of the unfortunate victim
OF the unknown tramp were inferred from
the Presbyterian church Sunday after
noon. Rev. d. l.. RAIDER preached a
most eloquent funeral sermon, the Masons
conducted services and the Reverends f.
@. Vinson and j. Y. Cowhick assisted la
conducting the services. The pail bearers
were Messrs. Fredendall, Brown, Bristol,
John Durbin, Stammers and Col. Sitter.
The number of secret society men in line
was over 100. Members of the Y. NJ. @.
A. attended numerously and citizens gen.
orally paid final respects to the many good
qualities of deceased. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful.

About 1000 citizens were at the depot to
view the queen of the road, and on ac-
count Of the stoppage for water many

but the flying beauty tarried nearly
