A BRICK PAVEMENT.

With all our talk about paving and Of
the most approved and best materials, and
in the face of the final determinations
which have brought Us the costiest kinds
of work. the fact might be noted that the
jasperite people tore up brick crossing
Yesterday at the corner Of Main and
Douglas which has been down two years
and at a place over which vast amount
of traffic has rolled every day The cross
ing was put down by permission, as an ex-
pertinent, by the Forest City Brick com
pauy. The brick were simply laid on
bed of sand and there they have lain intact
and undisturbed and uubroken by all the
thousands of vehicles which have gone
over them. for two years. The test, too.
was more than an ordinarily severe one, as
the cross walk was slightly elevated and
thereby subjected 70 the unceasinS chug-
chug Of every passing wagon. Wouldn't
it be wise for some street or alley TO Try
hrick navement.

ANOTHER GAS LAMP.

Some of the members of the city council,
accepting an invitation from the gas com
pany, examined new styled lamp last
night. One is located on Market and Will
Iiams, one at Market and Second and a
third on Main street between First and
Second. 1t is known as high power gas
lamp, giving light of three hundred can
die power, which is about five times the
old styled gas lamp in use in the city.
The company claim that the lamp has
forced itself into general use i'll eastern
cities, giving much more desirable and
steady light than the arc lamp. 1t is
thought the company will coon submit a
proposition to the city on the lamp for Civ
ing street service in the districts covered
by the gas mains.
Some of the councilmen who examined
the lamp last night expressed themselves
as greatly pleased and any proposition re
ceived would be given at least respectful
consideration.

The executive committee Of the Republl-
can Resubmission organization for this

further attention to the matter OF holding
meetings throughout the southwest prior
to the 23rd instant. The services OF Ar. j..

speaker at some of the meetings. Others
will also be engaged.
The committee has also under considera
ton the question of running special
train from here to Topeka to attend the
meeting of the 23d instant. ItseeTns appar-
ent to the committee that the number de
string TO attend will justifya special train,
which will also give extra accommodations

INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
WICHITA. Nav s. 1890.

WICHITA, May S, 1890.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Your editorial concerning insurance
companies was just criticism on many Of
said companies. This could be proven by
most of those who have at any time suf-
fered loss. The laws of Ohio at present
are founded upon justice. The agent tax
ing the risk is the appraiser of the proper
" insured If he says he will take your
risk for 81 900 and you pay the premium
on that amount, that is the amount you
would receive should your structure be
consumed by fire This the companies
fought, bringing everything to bear posi-
bic, but to no avail. Formerly the agent
might urge the applicant to put from 500
to 81 900 more upon certain structure
than the applicant really thought best at
first to apply for, yet the law under the
circumstances above named made the APP
plicant the appraiser. This l believe was
far from right, as an insurance agent IS a
far better Judge of property to be insured
than the applicant or owner Therefore L
believe each company should be holden IN
full for the amount the applicant pays
premium on. l.. ID. MUM.
