The Home Insurance Co, of New
York has been restrained from doing
further business in Kansas, having its
certificate suspended. The Burling-
ton, which did large business in this
county, is bankrupt. Meanwhile the
Southern Kansas Mutual continues to
give the best Of satisfaction. Being
mutual, the rates are lower, and no
great corporation is allowed to fatten
of the policy holders, all of whom are
directly interested in the success Of
the company, and pay assessments
only in proportion to the actual losses
and expense. The profits revert en-
tirely TO policy holders. This is a
worthy institution, proving Tho value
of muturl protection and Coop alton.

The 10Th of February death entered
the family circle Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Lindsay, near Arson, and took their
daughter Matte. Her sudden death.
caused by pneumonia, being sick but
a week, saddens many hearts outside
Of the family circle, as she was loved
and esteemed by all who knew her. As
a teacher she was hard to excel. but
her efficient work in the school room
is over and her pleasant voice and
sparkling laughter will be heard by
US no more. But We trust our loss is
her immortal gain. Rev. McLaugh-
lin will preach her funeral sermon at
the church the second Sabbath in
March, as owing to the inclemency of
the weather and the condition Of the
roads, there were no services at the
interment, except prayer and singing
by some of the friends present. NJ.

Slight Security.

The practical value OF great
mans friendship IL illustrated by the
following anccdote: A gentleman
who had long been attached TO Car
dinaL Maaarin, and much esteemed
by that minister, but little assisted
in his nnan"es by court favor, one
day told Mazarin OF his many prom.
ises and his dilatory performance.
The cardinal, who had great rcSard
for the man and was unwilling to
lose his friendship, patiently ex-
planned % him the many demands
made upon person in his situation
as minister. and which IL would be
polite TO satisfy previous u other re-
quests, "a they were founded on
services done % the state. "My
Lord.' replied his companion, all
tn favor expect at your hands Is
this, that whenever we meet in pub
lie YOU will DO me the honor 70 tap
me on the shoulder in an unrcseryed
manner In two or three years tho
friend of the card nal became a
wealthy man on the credit OF the
ministers atteHtions 20 him; and
Mazarin used TO laugh, together with
his cunndant, at the folly OF the
world In granting their protection %
persons On such slight security.

KEEP OFF PULLMAN CARS
Debs Issues an Appeal From Jail to the
Public.

Public.
At Chicago Sheriff Gilbert's four guests
from the American Railway Union-Debs,
Howard, Keliher and Rogers-issued their
first public manifesto from their new quarters
In iail on Sunday. The document calls upon
the travelling public 10 stop patronizing Pull
man cars as another means OF bringing the
company to terms. The manifesto denounces
the Pullman company for refusing TO arbi-
trate the question Of wages with its employees
and the discrimination 70 starve them into
surrender. II continues;
"Shall the Pullman company have the sup
port of the public In carrying out this hellish
policy? Shall the public be party TO the
starvation and degradation OF more than g.,
900 employees, men and women whose only
crime is that they ask living wages? We be-
lieve, indeed we know, what the answer will
be. We have faith in the American people.
They uphold justice; they love their play.
| And now in the name OF justice and fair play
we appeal 20 the great American public, to
| every good man aud every good woman, not
ride in q Pullman car until the Pullman com
! pany does Justice TO its employees. Let the
cars run absolutely empty. No friend OF
labor. no friend OF humanity will occupy n
seat or berth in a Pullman ear. Let this
| policy be inaugurated and we will then see
! how long the railway companies will bc bound
| by their contracts, as they have induced the
| PUBIC 10 UcUeNt, 10
| Think OF the Pullman employees as your
! own sisters, brothers, children. II you have
| any doubt as TO the outrages OF which they
! have been the victims. We refer you TO the
| Rev. W. ii. Carwardine. Of Pullman, ILL.,, n
| gentleman of highest character and standing,
who has long been a close student OF the con-
| iitions ut Pullman, aud is said to speak from
personal observation. Persons desiring 70
! contribute money and supplies 10 Pullman
| employees will please forward the same q
David V. Gladman, treasurer, Pullman,
| H."
This document practically contains the ad'
mission tina. there Ia no longer any strike by
| authority OF the American Railway Union,
and that the efforts which have been made by
the union and other organizations OF labor tt
force the Pullman company TO arbitrate by
means Of strikes have failed, necessitating 4
change OF tactics In the plan of tho anii-Pull
man campaign. President Dsbs. however,
would not admit that much and had nothing
| TO add TO the document.

NO SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT.
The Tariff and Strikes Put Business in
Bad Shape.

II. @. Dun Co.'S weekly Review Of
Trade" New York, says; The effects Of the
two great strikes have not yet entirely worn

follows that the customary tests Of the condi
ton of business arc less instructive than
usual.

favorable, because the exports Of gold hav,
been resumed and are $780, 900 for the

The volume Of domestic trade i7.2 pei

panic and the scarcity OF money caused wha
was then considered a paralysis. Foreigt

hopeful sign this week Is that failures con.

tits probable that ninety. y.nine out
of every 100 farmers Ia shis country
have the habit OF shelling of the ap-
parently defective grains OF the butts
and nubs OF their seed corn, and
rlating only the full shaped grains
from the middle of the car. Till re-
Gently this D actice has neTer been
questioned but actual experiments
sometimes reveals errors in our most
cherished traditions aud customs.
and so it may be in the selection OF
corn TO plant An intelligent writer
In the American Cultiyator has an
Agricultural item" that saves the
nubs and butts of the ears that for
couple Of centuries have been cast
} aside as no good. "Most farmers In
selecting their seed corn" says the
writer, "break Off the tip ends of the
ears, especially those where the
grains are either imperfect or NAL.
formed. II is probably true that
corn from the impesiectly developed
tips cannot produce strong, vigorous
plants But there are some kinds OF
corn which, In favorable seasons, fill
to their tip end with sound, well de-
veloped grain. 1t is really larger and
heavier than the pinched grains from
the middle OF the ear, where size is
diminished so as TO make the regular
number OF rows There aie large
grains also at the butt OF the eur.
Here the cob Is larger and the grains
have greater room for development
We remember IN interesting expert
ment tried some years ago by DR.. T.
L. Sturdevant, In which long strip
Of corn was planted Just as IL grew
on the ear. The plants from the
round. large grains at the tip were
strongest when they came up and
maintained their leadership through
the season Those from the butt,
which were also large, were next best.
and the middle part OF the cob pro-
duced the poorest plants. Yet we
have often seen both the tip and butt
broken Off before shelling for seed,
thus saving for planting what this
experiment showed TO be the poorest
grain on the ear for seed"
