Commencing Sunday, July 13,1S90. the
MISSOURI Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geheseo and from thence TO Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account of a great many peO-
pie from the east going TO Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City.
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning it gives US through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or
Colorado.

Vital Statistics of the Order-What 70
Costs-Various Items.
The report of DR.. William A. Richard
s)n, chairman of the committee on vital
statistics, compares the death rate and cost
per 81, 900 Of insurance of the A. o. L. w.
with that in seven other societies. He
says: Our own order for the past shows
decrease in the death rate Of four-tenths Of
1 per cent, being only SO, enabling US TO
carry protection for less than 50 per 81, 900.
This decrease, though slight, is certainly
very gratifying and leads TO the presump-
ton that after twenty-one years expert
ence we have, perhaps, pretty nearly
reached our average maximum rate of as
sessments." The Mssons, he figures, could
furnish protection to their entire member
ship at Sl4 per 81, 200, the Odd Fellows at
81 per $1,000, the knights of Honor at
Sl2.50 per 81 900, the Royal Arcanum at S.
per s., 200, the American Legion Of Honor
at Sll.50 per 81 900, the Knights and Ladies
Of Honor at $40 per 81 900. He says further:
in the Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York for twenty-nine years the
average cost to pay death losses per s., 900
was $l2.07."
On July there were $40, $50 members re-
ported in good standing This shows a
gain for the month Of June of 1,1S9.
On the first day Of July New York had
1898 members in good standing; Mis-
souri,, 22,271; Illinois, 20,6l4; Ontario. 90

General Statement of the Condition of tie
Business Of the Country.
New YORK, February S.-R. G. Dun Il
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
II rarely happens that the situation in
business is as perplexing as it now appears.
The general tenor of the reports is less en-
couraging; yet in every quarter there is
seen strong confidence in the future of
business, and such reaction as appears is
gel orally believed to be temporary. The
monetary prospects have clearly i'm,
proved.
While the bank rate in England has not
been reduced gains of $l,SlO,UO by the
Bank OF England ana 100000 by the Bank
of France, in gold reserve, lessen the
chances of disturbing drain from that
side. The domestic money markets are
generally growing easier, with moderate
or fair demand. Collections also are au
average or fair at nearly all points and def
nitely improved at several.
Good trade at Chicago in dry goods and
boots and shoes; more satisfactory at St
Louis and mentioned as slow III fewer
lines at Philadelphia. but still below eXpec-
tations at Milwaukee. Money accumulates
here Notwithstanding.
The treasury has taken in Sl,uBLVD dur
ing the week more than it has pali out.

Oil has risen cents and hog products are

day, says be is the man. He made con-

A good number of men from the country
have been in town today and now groups
of men are standing about the streets in

ASHLAND, Ore, February THE railroad
from Grants Pass to ROseburg is reported
one continuous line of slides. The streams
all over Southern Oregon are reported as
high if not higher than in 1861. A report
reached here last night from Glendale Of
an immense slide on the railroad half a
mile south of the west fork in Cow creek
canyon. The slide came from a high
mountain down to the bottom of the can
yon, distance of 800 or LOCO feet covering
the track and filling the canyon. Trees
are standing on the slide the same as they
were when it started from the summit
The water backed up in the canyon for
distance of thirty miles, and is 800 feet
wide and from so to rs feet deep. Tunnel
No. 3 is completely buried in water. The
creek is try ing to cut through the slide,
but the earth is jammed in so tight that SO
far it has not given way.
