and commenced business in March, 1883.
with charter eonfining its risks entire

been amended so as to include private
residences in cities and villages, and
other property not more hazardous
The officers OF the Company have never
allowed it to be diverted from this poll
cy. Many ofits contemporaries of twen-
ty years ago. have been swept away by
the devastating fires in our large cities.
while, this Company by its system of
isolation from business risks, has steadi-
ly pursued its prosperous course, win
ming its way to popularity and strength.

age to the farmer, whose occupation ex-
empts him from business hazards; to
those who have retired from business
and its uncertainties, and desire securi-
ty for their lifetime accumulation; and
to the business man who wishes to ex-
empt his home from the uncertainties
OF traffic-offering each OF them an in
surance in harmony with his desires
Prudent men often deed their homes to
their wives to preserve them from bust
ness calamity; legislatures pass exemp-
tion laws, and Congress homestead bills
to secure homes; and the Agricultural
Insurance Company was organized for
their future protection from a calamity
that no law or human foresight can
guard against. A Company doing
general business may be a protection
under ordinary circumstances; still it
lacks that element of security and GER
tainty offered by Company doing only
an isolated residence business. This
Company is now admitted to be the
strongest Company in the World, in it's
speciality, and its history of over thirty
years is sufficient guarantee of the pro-
lection afforded by its policies.

The Teachers,

The La Sale County Teachers as
ISOLATION opened its March meeting in
the high school chapel Friday evening
and listened to a very able lecture
upon 1.-The Development of Character"
by DR.. Edwin G. Hewett, president Of
the Illinois State Normal University.
The lecture was quite lengthy, but
was full of solid. common sense, of a
kind that teachers might oftener hear
to their advantage.
He, in substance, said that the
teacher is too apt to work, not in the
line Of solemn duty in training the
minds of children, but for the mere
salary, without a thought as to
whether the child under him is form
ing a strong, pure character or one
that is warped toward the weak and
bad. The farmer lays away store of
apples for the winter, and when the
cold months come he takes up hand

third is beautiful, and when cut is

"Three gentlemen were in town last
week." says the Utica gazette, seeking
a location for glass factory. They
interviewed the members of the Utica
Fire Sand company and expressed
themselves highly pleased with the
quality of the sand shown them and
with the town. 1t is hoped they will
locate here, for we need few more big
factories" Considering the close ties
by which all the glass factories OF the
country are united, that a new one
should propose to start up so near at
hand and Ottawa not be consulted, is
hardly probable.

Supervisor MCLAUGHLIN did not have
the satisfaction of seeing a quorum
present at o'clock Saturday morning
and it was nearly 8 o'clock before any
of the supervisors began to put in an
appearance. The minutes of the pre-
viOus session were approved and then
the clerk took the per diem and mil
cage of the supervisors.
Supervisor Bowen, of the judiciary
Committee, presented report show
ing that 1852 had been collected
from delinquent tax payers since the
last session.
Mr.. MolOney-I have examined the
new law which went into force in 'S9.
This law has made quite change
in the manner of electing town officers.
The various towns in this county with
but cone voting precinct shall hold
elections the same as before. In towns
of over $50 population this board can,
if it sees fit, divide up the towns into
voting precincts, and it will be the
duty of this board to name and APP
point the election judges. 1t is not
a bsolutely mandatory for the board to
do this however. The object is to
make it convenient for voters.
A petition for abatement of taxes
from A. G. Walker & Co., of La Sale,
was referred to the committee on
attachments.
Mr.. Readily consent of the board
Mr.. Gibbs and myself will withdraw
the motions relating to swamp land
claims which we made yesterday, and
let the committee recommend some
person and then the house can vote on
the candidates.
Mr.. Truman would recommend
that Isaac r. Hit be instructed to
collect swamp land claims at cost of
not to exceed thirty per cent. of the
amount collected. Supervisor Read
moved as an amendment that Mr.. Mo
loney be given the contract to collect
claims twenty-five per cent.
Mr.. EadeS-I think we ought to
vote on the four propositions. As it
is now we can only vote on two Of
them and must ignore the remaining
two propositions.
Mr.. Quam-I understand some
words have been scratched out of Mr.
Hits proposition and there is 'kitch'
somewhere.
Mr.. Moloney was called on to ex-
plain and said: SIN Mr.. Hits appli-
cation he states that he will collect
the claims from the United States
government for 30 per cent. in kind.
That is if he gets cash he will want
30 per cent of the cash and if he gets
land he will want 80 per cent. Of the
present ualue of the land. This is
where the flaw comes in"
Mr.. Donlevy-In looking after the
welfare Of this county it seems to me
that Mr.. Truman has taken remark
able course. He has used ID. Cars
proposition to get Isaac r. Hit to
lower his bid and also TO get Mr.. Mo-
louey to come down peg. do not
think that Is the proper way to act.
Mr.. McLauchlan-In order to end
this matter let US vote by ballot for
all four candidates.
The amendment made by Mr.. Read
was adopted and the committee was
instructed to contract with Mr.. Mo-
loney to collect swamp land claims at
