The State House Dome.

At almost any time of the day indi-
viduals may be seen in the vicinity Of
Ninth street and jackson or Kansas
avenue, craning their necks with their
faces turned toward the dome of the
state house.
They are watching the workmen en-
gagged on the dome of the state capt.
toll, who appear utterly oblivious to
the fact that they are $50 feet above
the earth. A misstep would mean
sure and almost instant destruction,
but the recklessness of the men is ap-
palling to the spectator who observes
them from terra tirma.
A glimpse at the men from the dome
itself, however, puts them in differ
emit position. They work and move
about upon projections and braces
which appear very narrow when seen
from tho earth, bnt which are really
broad and afford very secure foot
hold. No one has fallen from the
dome since work on the exterior was
commenced.
It is thought that within two weeks
the dome will be covered, when work
will be abandoned for the winter.
The covering of the dome consists
first of thing, which is fastened Sc
curely to the braces. This is covered
with an inch thickness of cement
When the cement becomes hardened,
the outer covering, which consists OF
copper plates, Is put on. The plates
vary in size and are about one-eighth
of an inch in thickness.-TopekG Re

..Yes. and .1No."

It is wonderful how vast an amount
of mischief, and of misery even, Is
produced by the simple misuse of
these little words. People many
times say Yes" without thinking OF
what it involves, or they say s'No." IN
so feeble tone that those who are
urging them to do something which
they cannot honorably do are invited
to persist until they get the answer
they desire. And thus they assume
obligations which they have no set
tied purpose to fulfill, or neglect du-
ties which their own conscience and
their sense of honor tell them they
should discharge. Yes is more cas-
lily said than no. because 1t is more
agreeable to assent TO another's wish
es than it is to oppose them. Hence,
of some good natured men the remark
Is often heard: "They cannot say
No." =
Young man, consider well what you
arc asked to do before you pronounce
your YES" but. having uttered 1t, re-
member that the reply to all who wish
you to break your promise must be a
Mop SO emphatic, prompt, decisive,
that they cannot for moment doubt
that you mean it. You have made a
great attainment if you have learned
to say mop and stick to it. Free
quently you Will find it a most un-
pleasant word, sometimes very pain
full word to utter. But that sort of
pain is momentary. It's not the pain
caused by conscience violated, by hon
or sullied. It is not the pain produc-
ed by lifelong memory of evils infct-
ed on yourself and others, which q
little timely firmness would have pre-
vented. LET your Yea be YEA

NEW CITIES IN OKLAHOMA.

Two Lots offered for "a Ham Sandwich
and No Purchasers.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 2 "A specia,
from Chandler, O. T., via Guthrie
dated Friday, says:
No other town in the world is like
Chandler today. The government site
for the town of Chandler is still inhabi,
ted only by few soldiers and the sur.
veyors but the other half of the quarter
section just east of Chandler has been
mapped out into town site, the popu-
lation of which changes every minute.
The location of Chandler is on high
bluff. The land which the surveyors
have been trying to survey into streets
and alleys is rougher than the high seas
in storm. Great rocks as large as a
small house are scattered about all over
the town site and deep gullies cut 1t into
pieces.
With miles of level land all around it
is difficult to understand why such a
rough piece of land was selected for the
town The rival town on the adjoining
half of the quarter section is on level
ground. On Tuesday men rushed into
it and drove their stakes, as anxious to
secure a fifty-foot piece of ground as
though it was worth $1,000, but when
they got it they were not delighted.
After stopping out all night Tuesday,
tortured with hunger, thirst and u most
ravenous species of mosquitoes, hun
dreds realized that they had had enough
and began to leave. One man yesterday
offered two lots in the Chandler annex
for ham sandwich without finding q
purchaser. The town is run with gam
blers of every description. There has
been no trouble in keeping the people off
of the site. All day yesterday the people
kept coming, and at noon there were
probably 1000 people here. The coun-
try in this vicinity is very poor and of no
account for agriculture. Much or the
Sac and Fox country is good farming

INSURANCE STATISTICS.
Enormous Growth of the Business In the
Past Ten Years.

ENORMOUS CROWN OF tn@ business III the
Past Ten Years.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.--The census
Office is getting at the enormous proper
tions to which the fire Insurance busi-
ness of the United States has grown. A
bulletin has been issued showing the
extent of insurance transactions in the
states of Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louis
lana, Maine and the Indian territory.
In the state Of Illinois the risks writ
ten and renewed during the ten years
Just closed amounted to @7,040, ,062 ,00l.
For these risks the insurance companies
received in premiums and assessments
&79, 9,628,807. The fire losses paid In Hi
nois during the decade amounted to
$84, ,914 ,623. That Is to say, the COM
panies paid on losses forty three cents
for each dollar received in premiums.
There is vast difference in the showing
on this point by companies Several
companies paid over seventy cents on
each dollar they took in ON Illinois bust
ness. And several other companies
paid out less than twenty cents on each
dollar received. The margin for man
agement In the insurance business is
evidently wide.
Tornado insurance was good deal
more profitable than fire insurance in
Illinois from 1880 to 1890. The tornado
insurance placed in Illinois during the
ten years was $24, ,004, ,082. II yielded in
cash premiums and assessments $685.
166. The losses were only 500, 200. For
each dollar received ON this kind of in
surance the companies returned only
fourteen cents to the insured.
The Indian Territory is pretty bad
place for fire insurance risks. The COM
panies received in premiums there dur
ing the ten years $130,9 and they had
to pay out $40, ,230, which was sixty
cents on each dollar received.
Iowa makes slightly better showing
than Illinois. The companies in ten
years wrote 2,050, SAC, ,928 insurance for
Iowa, receiving FOR IL &29, ,812,019. The
losses were ~, 500, ,496, or about forty
two cents on each dollar of business
Kansas risks are little more danger
ous than either Illinois or Iowa risks.
Fire insurance policies to the amount OF
o. ,042, los, ,070 were written for Kansas,
returning In premiums $40, ,024, ,539. The
losses were 81, ,258, ,640, or forty-fve cents
on the dollar of business. Kansas is
sometimes called the cyclone state, but
tornado Insurance out there pays the
companies very well. The premiums
on tornado insurance were $540,8
from 1880 to 1890. The losses were
el6s,e42, or thirty ty-onecents to each dol
lar Of business.
Kentucky is not good state for fire
insurance. The losses there in the last
decade ate up fifty-nine cents of each
dollar taken In premiums
But In Maine, where prohibition pre-
walls, and people are supposed to be
sober and careful about fires, the losses
were sixty cents on each dollar Of pre-
In Indiana the losses were fisty-nine
cents on each dollar received by the
rofny utaa

Surprised.

They Expected the Two Great Nations

This--whO Says the Fair viii Not BE

CHICAGO, Sept. 2e-England and Ger
many have applied for about five acres
Of space in the worlds fair buildings for
their exhibits. The applications were
made by Sir Henry s. Wood and James
Drege, representing the government Of
Great Britain, and by Herr A. Wor-
muth, imperial commissioner from Ger
many. The requests made by the for
eign commissioners staggered the worlds
fair officials. They expected that En-
gland and Germany would be largely
represented at the fair, but the thought
never occurred to them that these two
powers would ask for ten acres of space.
This request is significant" said an
official. 1T may be accepted as fore
cast Of the report that win be made to
the governments OF Great Britain and
Germany when the commissioners re-
turn. 1t means that they will give
the worlds fair their unqualified In
dorsement and recommend the extern
sivs participation of English and Ger
man manufacturers and artists"

Wife, Sister-in-Law, Mother-in-L Law and

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 28.-Near Quincy,
100 miles east of Cincinnati, Thomas
Carr, a farmer, thirty years old, killed
his wife, her sister and himself. They
lived with his wife's parents, James Ev-
ans and wife. Mrs. Evans received sew
eral severe cuts, one of which, three
inches long, laid bare the brain. She
was able to testify at the coroner's in
quest, however, and told the story of the
Killing She said the trouble arose from
jealousy on the part of Carr. Carr had
quarreled with his wife. He went out
to cut some corn, and his wife followed
him to gather beans. When Mrs. Carr
returned she said her husband was 60
ing away. A few moments later Carr
came up with the knife and attacked
them. He ftrst struck Mrs. Evans on
the head, fell:ng her to the ground, and
hacked her once or twice, cutting off her
ear. His wi.e screamed and attempted
to interfere. He struck her across the
back of the neck, almost cutting off her
head, and also struck her several blows
after she had fallen. Then seeing Mrs
Ross Burrow, the sister, fleeing toward
a neighbor'5, he ran and killed her.
Carr then cut his own throat with the
knife. His wife is only seventeen years
old, and cannot recover

MARION, Sept. 26.-Dr. Richard j.
Gatling, the inventor of the great ma
chine gun bearing his name, has decided
to locate here plant for the manufac-
ture of heavy siege guns by a process
which he thinks will work as great q
revolution in the manufacture of heavy
ordnance as that wrought by his ma
chine gun in small arms. The new in
vention includes process for making a
composition of greater strength and elas-
ITCHY than any now in use, and mechan-
ical device for giving the molten metal
q twist similar 70 that In sofne small
arms. This Ia done by coiling the
metal about the core. The new process,
IL successful, will be infinitely cheaper
and more rapid than any now applied.
DIR. Gatiing expects to have the first gun
ready for test In ninety days from the
completion OF the buildings. The exact
site Of the new factory Is TO be deter
mined on Oct. 10.
The doctor has left for the east, and
