KANSAS STATE NEWS.



THE annual report of Superintendent
Wilder, Of the Insurance Department,
shows that there are eighty-three fire in
surance companies doing business In the
State OF these nine are Kansas mutual.;
fifty six stock companies Of other States,
and eighteen foreign companies. The total
hre risks written for 1887, amounted tc
elS7, 2S.SSl for which premiums were re.
ceived OF e 03O. 33S, and the losses paid
amounted 10 81, 124 rs The total amount
OF life risks written during 1887 was s12,-
So1, SlS; for which premiums were received
OF $143 SS4. and losses paid amounting to
S241.4S5. The expenses of the department
Tor 1857 were Is. $4,000, exclusive OF light,
fuel, rent, ETC., and the receipts Isl 40S 81.
making the department not only self-sus
tanning but furnishing handsome net
revenue to the State. The superintendent
believes that this sum is large enough tc
induce the Legislature to pass law which
will really exclude unauthorized and un-
taxed Companies from the State and place
the agents of bogus companies in Jail The
report embraces u long list Of bogus or
wildcat companies that have been exclud-
ed from the State, together with list of
companies that have been born and died
since the department was organized. The
full report contains some spicy reading.
