[The fact is we all have to many dere1-

followeth: eve do not know that we
ever mentioned it, but we will take any
thing on subscription, such as potatoes,
corn, hay, straw, fodder, chickens, pigs,
calves, old shoes, strap iron, bird-dogs-
anything to eat. We want you to have
the paper. We want circulation. Tell
your friends about our offer, and if they
haven't the money, or anything to ex-
change for years subscription, tell them
to come right along and take it without
money or without price. We want to dc
business, and if we bust, we want to dc
it up in good shape. We are going to
run as long as we can, and when every
scrap of paper in the Office has been con.
verted into issues of the Dispatch, we
will print our farewell edition on the
Office towel, fold up our tired hands and
retire from the field of action"

Rev. w. c. Stevenson, of McCook,
who will be remembered by many friends
hereabouts, has resigned his charge at
that place and was dismissed by a Church
Council last Friday. The Reverand gen.

twenty-five thousand dollars and will
probably quit preaching for the time be-

You Can't do it Again

When the great financial results attained by policy-holders
companies they exclaim Yes; but they can't do it again
They areswilling to admit that the dividends paid by the Mu-
tuaI Life Insurance Company of New York on all its earlier
policies are the largest ever paid by any company on similar
forms Of insurance, but it is claimed that the Mutual Life can
not duplicate it's former dividend results. on policies issued
now. Let us see:
On Policy No. 1868, issued November \, 1870, at age
twenty five, for $4,000, annual premium s99.45, ordinary life
plan, at the endsof first twenty years the dividend additions
a death claim, which is 634.4 40 more than the amount of prem
iums paid improved at per cent. compound interest.
On Policy No. I24, 638, issued September Z, 1871, at age
twenty-six, for $4,000, annual premium $4,000, ordinary life
plan, the dividend additions in 1891, at the end of the first
twenty years, amounted to $~1,S47.0o, raising the policy to So
$4,000 and being S420 ~ better than all the premiums paid i'm
proved at 10 per cent. compound interest per annum fortwenty
years.
Thus it appears from the records OF The Mutual Life In
dividends, ending in 1890 and 1891, declared on policies issued
in 1870 and 1877 have been as favorable as those declared in the
first twenty years on policies issued in 1S43. 1t is, therefore,
quite reasonable to assume that the future dividends of this
Company on policies issued now, on the ''twenty-yeardistribu-
ton PLAN will be as goodAas those realized in the first twenty
years BY the holders Of policies issued in the early years Of the
Company on theold .reversionary addition PLAN on which
dividends were declared every five years and added to the policy
at their insurance value.
Since 1890 the Mutual Life's dividends have shown a grad
ual increase every year.
