Kansas Insurance..

The report of the state Superlntend-
emit of insurance for 1891 is now in pro-
cess of preparation, and some of the
total figures on the years business have
Just been reached.
The report will show that the fire in
surance written in Kansas last year
amounted to $134,425,217.
The premium paid for that amount
was 81 1878, 229.51, the average rate being
$1.a9 per $1,000.
The losses paid in the state amounted
to $685.. 420.96, the average rate of loss
to the premiums received being A per
cent.
OF the above amounts Kansas fire in
surance companies wrote policies to the
value of $3,770,095, at cost to the in
sured of $SO,5S1.S5. Kansas companies
paid for losses $41,114.42, or about 81
per cent of the premiums received.
There are in all ninety-one companies
doing business in the state that make
report. OF these eleven are Kansas
companies and twenty belong to foreign
countries.
As whole the insurance business had
a profitable year in 1891. The rate
charged was per cent higher than the
preceding year, yet the loss was less by
8 per cent.
While the average showing of all the
companies as favorable to them in some
particular instances, the losses ran very,
very high, especially with one or two of
the newest companies, who suffered loss
as high as 137 per cent.
Property Must Cancel the Debt.
The case brought by the Keene Five
Cent Savings bank against the Bruins
wick Hotel company of this state was
decided by Judge Riner in a way quite
unexpected.
The savings bank foreclosed mort
gage on the hotel property, and OBJ
tanned decree for $4,000. The prop
erty was sold in Topeka in front of the
federal court house for $4,000, and was
bid in by the plaintiff. The plaintiff
then asked to have the sale confirmed
and at the same time asked for judg-
ment over for the sum of $4,000.
The court confirmed the sale but de-
clined to enter Judgment over in any
sum whatever, holding that the plain
tiff by the confirmation got the entire
property as originally mortgaged.
The suit brought by the Etna Life
Insurance company against Lakin town
ship, Kearney county, on bonds issued
to the county, was decided in the United
States circuit court. The demurrer to
the defense interposed by the defend
ants. was overruled, the court holding
that the bonds sued on were void, as the
officers issuing them had no authority
to do so, the county having been pre-
viously disorganized by an act of the
Legislature.
The state executive council held q
meeting for the purpose of considering
the proposition OF the G. A. R for a
room in the state house to be used as
Grand Army headquarters. The newly
elected department commander, A. r.
Greene, was present and presented the
petition of the old soldiers asking fol
the room. The executive council ap.
pointed q committee consisting Of Attor-
ney General Ives, State Treasurer Stovel
and Auditor Hovey to look into the
matter and report at another time.

Pullman Taxes.

Pullman taxes.
ATTORNEY General Ives has replied to
county authorities as to their rights and
duty in collection of taxes from the
Pullman Car company.
One case has gone to the supreme
court of the United States and has been
decided against the Pullman company.
There are several cases, but only one OF
them was considered by the supreme
court.
The attorney general says:
1.-THE issues joined in all these cases
were similar and no action was taken In
the court in the second action, in which
the three supplemental bills were filed,
as it was understlkd that the decree OF
the supreme court of the United States
in the first action, commenced in 1886,
would virtually settle the law m all the
cases. There has been no attempt made
upon the part Of the company to re-
strain the collection of the taxes for
1891, and while the decision OF the
United States supreme court virtually
settles all the issues of law raised in all
the actions, yet in fact, technically, only
settles the first action restraining the
collection of the taxes of 1886.
Further action will be required in
the circuit court and it will be necessary
to have decree entered in accordance
with the decision of the supreme court
of the United States, and the restrain
ing orders issued in the last action dis
solved before any attempt can be made
to collect the taxes by tax warrant, and
and although the questions of law are
settled, until the formula of entering the
decree dissolving the injunctions has
been completed the issuing OF a tax
warrant to collect the taxes restrained
by the restraining orders referred to-,
would be an act of contempt of the cir
cult court. Negotiations are pending
and I am informed that it is the desire
of the plaintiff to pay all the taxes re-
strained as soon as the amount can be
ascertained, and that further litigation
is not desired upon their part. The
matter is in the hands of the attorney
general, and as soon as it has been de-
termined in the court the county treas
urers of the state will have notice, and
unless the company adjust their taxes it
will be the duty of the county treasurers
to proceed to the collection, but it would
be unwise and contempt of the cir
cult court to attempt to collect the taxes
until those restraining orders are dis
solved, and decree entered in the cir
cult court, which will be done at as early
a date as practicable, and county treas
urers throughout the state who are in
terested will be notified. I am informed
that the company is ready and is pay
ing the taxes of 1886 and 1891 as rap
idly as vouchers can be made for the
same"

tendency of the play to serve coed end it
causes suffering for the part liz order that

Life's teachings differ from the dramatic
teachings of Herr Blumenthal. The be-

Dogs smothered in Transit.
London Daily News.


1t is no doubt from want Of thought rather
than deliberate cruelty that people so often
send dogs On long journeys by rail shut up
in boxes or wicker hampers. The Field
certiies that these unfortunate animals are
frequently found dead at their journeys
end. Last week a valuable bulldog was
thus tortured to death on his way to OAR
lington by the London and Northwestern,
although that company has humanely pro-
vided carriages expressly for travelling
dogs. 1t Is said that owing either to no.
tion that an extra price is made for this
odation-whic is not the case-or
to ignorance of the existence of these dog
eonveyances, they are but little used. The
Field correspondent, who examined one of
these vans fitted up for sixty dogs, states
that they are provided with straw and
water, and shat any dog is better benched
and bedded in them than in the best venti-
lated hamper, which, of course, has TO go
into the luggage van, where it is necessarily
subjected to rough usage.

The Grove-street Theater.

"Oliver Twist" at the Grove-street Thea
ter has made a decided hit. The twenty
one scenes which denote the change of To-
cation through the play were worked with
out hitch to the great credit of the work
ing corps of the theater. Every character
OF the entire draInatis persona was we'll
rendered and enthusiastically dressed and
in conformity with the Dickens ilustra-
tons. Mr.. Holden as the brutal Bill
Sykes embodied the part with all
the oathsome horror consistent with
the great masters deineaton and
second 10 none. not TO even Mr.. James A.
Herne, who was pronounced by the critics
the true and lIfelike embodiment of the
character. The murder scene WAS horribly
realistic and caused many among the audi
ence to shudder. We congratulate Mr.
Holden on his great success. Miss Fallen,
as Nancy, lacked farce and character, but.
nevertheless, she made great deal Of the
part Mr. Thayer made an excellent
as Justice Fang. was In his ee-
ment. and although he had but
one scene he did 1t full justice. Mr.. Norval
McGregor, as the Jew, Fagin, was excellent
throughout, while his dying scene was ar
tistic and horribly real. Mr.. Belmour made
ali excellent Artiul Dodger. with clean
cut cockney dialect. Mr.. Chapman also
Mr.. Bundle was played well by Mr.. Law
