! holders. The managers of the great racers
| recognize this: and while in one breath
they glorify themselves over their great
volume of business, in the next they accuse
each Of compelling the other to raise the
commissions to keep agents from being
stolen, to enable them still to steal agents,
and to keep up the rebates. Each confesses
the absolute necessity of reform, the last
phase of which is the proposition to ask the
Legislature of New York to interfere and
forbid any of them to go beyond fixed
limit of amount at risk, SO that no one can
get ahead of the others.
w hat more startling suggestion can be
made OF the tremendous strain which they
hnd themselves under, and of their own
conscious inability to reform? 1t reminds
one of the debauchee who asks to be put un-
der restraint until he can recover sobriety
and self-control.
So the world learns again by slow and
painful experience that the dull, plain
truth is true and alone is abiding; and that
the only thing in insurance worth paying
for, and the only thing worth trying to get
out OF 1t, is insurance and nothing more
CONDITION OF THE COMPANY.
The real strength of the company is not
fully stated in the figures of its assets and
surplus large as these are and certainly
worth as they are their full face. On the
one hand, our assets are conservatively
valued; on the other, our liabilities are
computed by far stricter standard and at
much larger relative amount than is the
case in any other company. Our reserve
liability on all business written since
April, 1882, is computed on the assumption
that we will earn only per cent interest,
instead of per cent, as is assumed by all
other companies and by the several State
Insurance Departments. We carry as
liability, therefore, in reserve for the future
protection of our contracts, some S6OO,000
more than any other company would do on
their present basis, and more than the law
requires: and this difference in our strength
increases rapidly each year When it is
remembered that many of the contracts we
make to-day will not mature for fifty, sixty,
or even seventy years hence, the import
ance of basing them on q rate of interest
that is certain to be earned all that time can
not be oyerestimated. Nor can the forecast
OF the chances of adverse change be made
too early. 1t is a ceaseless satisfaction to
us that this buttress was so early added to
our structure and is already carrying so
much of its bulk. We can look forward to
the future without anxiety,

We ask attention to several notable
features of this record. The company has
already returned to its policy holders s.. s5
per cent of all the premiums it has received
from them; what it has returned to them
and the net assets held to protect existing
policies, aggregating s2O9, S5s 535. So, exceed
what it has received from them by S41, 1874, :,
1872 56; what it has returned to them, and
what it holds for them in net assets alone,
omitting 81, $50, 6S5.07 that go to make up
the total assets, are 124.3 per cent of what
it has received from them; its receipts from
investments are nearly three and one-half
times its expense account, which is only 8. Sc
per cent of its total receipts; record of
usefulness, economy, conservatism and
strength to which we challenge comparison.
Respectfully submitted.

State Fair Arrangements.

The managers of the state fair feel
sanguine of having the best exposition
ever held.
The machinery display promises to
be leading feature. Already twice as
many applications for space have been
made as in any previous year. Many
eastern manufacturers, attracted by the
immense crops, will make exhibitions of
their work.
The stock show, too, will surpass all
former records, both in numbers and I'M
quality. Entries are already being
made by breeders who before thought it
not worth their while to come clear to
Topeka. One Nebraska stCckman has
entered thirty head. From seventy
five to 100 extra stalls will be required
in addition to those now on the
grounds.
The fair will be advertised more sys-
tematically than heretofore. Every town
in the state will be billed, and besides
considerable advertising will be done
through the worlds fair committee; 49,
600 premium lists have been sent out
and there are more to follow. Negotia-
tions for special attractions which have
been pending are completed, and the
contracts will be signed this week. Just
what the attractions are the managers
are not prepared to disclose, but say
they are such as have never before been
attempted in the west and are of high
order. There will be no displays by
counties, but instead liberal premiums
will be given in the interest of the
worlds fair.
W. F. Federnan, of the state auditors
Office, has charge of all privileges except
the pools and score cards, which will be
in control of the association.

STOCK AND FE u.

Glasco item: There are about dozen
steam threshers at work in this neigh

than ever before known. Fields of for
ty, fifty and even ffty-two bushels per
acre are frequently claimed, with an av-
erage of fully thirty, and test of sixty
two and sixty-three pounds.

named Cumber of that county made n
successful shipment of two hogsheads.
last years crop, to Cincinnati, and this
season a number of farmers have set
out from two to ten acres each. Several
barns for curing and handling the crop
in have been erected in the county.
Topeka Capital: o. P. Updegraf,
proprietor of Riverside stock farm, this
city, has sold to DR.. S. L. Brooking, OF
Wellsville, Kan, the handsome young
sire, Upright Wilkes, 8 years old, record
2:25k, by Honor, the premier stallion
at Riverside. The price obtained for
this promising young horse was $4,000
cash and four highly bred horses valued
at $1,000, which Is the most money ever
paid for horse in this state.
Mcpherson Republican: Mr.. Anna
bill says there were some chinch bugs
in his wheat field and when his wheat
WAS cut, they made P raid on his millet.
The man on his place sent to Professor
Snow for some infected bugs which he
turned loose in the field. In three days
time the bugs were all dead and could
be gathered up by the double handful
all along The edge of the millet field
He says there were enough infected bugs
in his field to destroy every bug in the
county. Mr.. Annabl thinks by using
infected bugs right away after harvest
it would be but short time until not a
bug could be found in the county and
by killing them at that time there need
be no fears of the destruction of the
crops in the spring by these pests.

A veritable Jewel.

Who dareS say word against the.
old maid of the present-that admir-
able philosopher who alone knows the
secret Of comfort and peaceful living:
In her own quiet way she has good
time, and when some folks are think
ing how staid and unsentimental she
is, her thoughts are drifting hack to
days full of romance and picnics and
balls and moonlight walks. For say
what some people may about the old
maid, there is a warm corner in her
heart for the sentiment of life-sen.
timent all the purer because it has
been chastened by years of unself1sh-
ness.
We all know what an angel a nice
old maid is about the house; how she
things to rights, in spite of youthful
carelesSness and paternal fOrgetful-
ness. She is the arbitrator of dis
putes and the dove Of peace; the awe
of the servants and the friend of
everybody. When there is a family
contention as to what kind of dress
the daughter shall have or what kind
Of hats the boys shall get, or what
food shall be bought for dinner,
what people shall be invited to the
reception, or what time the baby
shall be taken out to ride, or any.
thing else, 1t is the subdued, positive
voice of the old maid that que,is the
discussion, and asserts the conclusion
of all dissenting opinions. Yes she
is jewel, is the old maid!
