How to Produce Rain.

We have patiently waited for some
one of our wise men gathered at To-
peka in legislature, to introduce a bill
to carry out our idea of compelling
every farmer who owns more than
forty acres to scoop out a part Of it
for a pond of water. They don't
seem to see it. Well, we have done
our best to convince them that 1t is
the most feasible and cheapest way
to produce rain. Now, we find, IN the
February, 1889, issue of advance
sheets of the report of the State
Board of Agriculture, a paper on this
subject by Martin Allen, of Hays
City, which Celebrates the suggestion,
makes it plain, and winds it up with
this chunk of wisdom: "Allow me to
predict that whenever our state shall
have spent half as much time, talent
and money in making dams and de-
vises to hold and store up water, as
some of the Middle States have al
ready spent to get rid Of it, the des-
ert will have vanished; the hot winds
will only be remembered as things of
the past; the rains and dews will as
sumo a regularity hitherto unknown;
and that our state will be covered
with as happy and contented people
as can anywhere be found on the
earth's surface. -BeI0it Courier.

The is no stronger proof of the
growth of the prohibition sentiment
in the United States than the fact
that, in compliance with the demand
of the people, the legislatures Of sew
eraI states have already submitted to
a popular vote the question of amend
ing the organic state law by the
adoption of prohibibory clauses This
is the case in four states already this
year-New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Nebraska. The

INSURANCE NEWS.
The State Superintendent's Rea-
sons for Revoking the Auth ority
of Two Insuranc accompanies.

A Reporter of the Capital Com
1BOnlCea}t3 last evening called upon
the superintendent of insurance and
inquired his reasons for reYOking the
authority of the Kansas Home Insur-
ance company, which were given sub
stantially as follows:
E'Ihe law provides that assessments
to pay losses must be made on the
members who have given notes. These
companies have done a clandestine
and wildcat business in many states,
using the Chicago policy. A Kansas
mau may be assessed to pay a loss in
Missouri; the Missourian cannot be
assessed to pay a Kansas loss. The
wildcat policy holder IS given the adj
vantage over the lawful Kansas policy
holder.
''These companies have not been
authorized to do business in any other
state; they are new companies with
out capital and no other state would
adInit them. The wildcat business
has been done with secrecy; a person
acting as the agent of an unauthorized
company becomes liable to arrest and
punishment.
'Neither Of these companies had
any guarantee fund. Even then such
a company cannot operate in any
other state until it has been lawfully
admitted into that state.
The class of business done IN other
states by new Companies without cap
itaI must be of a hazardous kind. It
pays large premiums and has heavy
LOSSES. While the money comes in,
the. weather is fair; when the losses
occur, the company breaks. This has
beea the uniform experience of under
grOT md companies in Kansas and in
KaFsas who holds a policy finds that
he has paid his premium but has no
insurance.
Kansas has had a great deal of ex-
perience of this kind, all of it fatal.
It began twenty-five years ago, in
Leavenworth, and many towns have
had fire companies that went down
under heavy losses in other states,
leaving the honest policy holder in
Kansas ? hold the bag.
I'VE lave good mutual fire insur-
ance companies in Kansas and shall
have many more, but they have
Obeyed the laws Of our state and of
other states and have confined them
selves to business recognized by law. )"
Capital Commonwealth.
Farmers and others who insure
should use carein selecting their com
panies. Go to some reliable trust
worthy agents as G. A. Spauldlng &
Co., of this place, and take out a pol
icy in one of their old line companies
that has stood the test for years and
then you will get what you pay for,

What a Woman Said About the
Kansas Senate's Action.
From the Topeka Capital Commonwealth.

Kansas Senate's Action.
From the Topeka Capital Commonwealth.
Mr. Editor: The world moves
backward since the Kansas senate is
IN session.
For years many women in our state
have been saying, we do not need to
devote ourselves to politics. The men
of Kansas are too intelligent, too
moral, too gallant by far to allow the
needs Of women to be forgotten.
When the age of consent was raised
by the legislature to eighteen years,
we said it is not necessary to adopt
measures, that seemed to us almost
unwOmanly, to secure good results.
We have good men at the head of af-
fairs. But we had not met the senate
Of 1888
Do the men who voted for this per
nicious bill come from the new coun-
ties? If so I would suggest to the
missionary workers that

You can find it over there
Some years ago in a town in Kan
sas a child not ten years old was as
saulted by rufian in broad daylight
and secreted in sight of her mothers
house. Clicked, threatened and
frightened the little one hid herself
all day in terror but was finally found
and questioned. That man? had a
lawyer and a jury, and the strong
point made by the defense was that
the girls reputation was reported to
be doubtful
The base falsehood did its work
and the william went free.
How many members of that jury
are in the state senate?
We can do without any women on
the state board of charities, but when
the Kansas legislature lowers the age
of consent from Is years to u, ex-
pressions of disgust will find their
way to the press from even home low
ing women like myself.
