The stranger looked at him lzeenly.
"Will you tell me about it?" he asked.

The tone was respectful, kind. Greg
had resisted sympathy, for it came from
unsuffering friends, who were troubled
more for the condition of his soul than
of his heart; but this genuine pity
touched him, and he was moved to

A large amount Of breaking will be

The number of destructive fires we
have had this spring should be a

The new superintendent Of insur-
ance is preparing to make war on the
old line of fire insurance combines.
He has asked the attorney general
for an opinion on the combine which
the companies are charged with
entering into, which is in violation
OF the state law. The opinion will
probably sustain the superintendent
decision in revoking all the charters
of the companies which have formed
the trust in Kansas business.

That was the way our republican
city council considered the HERALD
last week in the matter of doing the
city printing for the ensuing year.
We are little rled up at the man
ner in which the council let this work
NOT even allowing or giving this
paper a chance to bid for the work
Heretofore the city council have ad-
vertised for bids to do the city print
ing, but this time they did not follow
the old rule. 1t seems they went
over and got their pet (republican)
editor by the neck, walked him over
to the council chamber and asked HIM
il he would do the city printing for
the year 1888 for the neat little figure
OF ~ per cent of legal rates. After
figuring around a little the Dispatch
boy probably concluded that he could
get out at that and accepted the coun-
ciPs proposition-20 per cent. The
old saying of ito the victors belong

stance, and the people will have to
bear the expense.
