CONCERNING KANSAS.

DEAR SIR:-I have never before re-
piled to the personal slanders which
have been heaped upon me by the re-
publican press of this state, and prob.
ably shall not do so again, but in the
Journal of March % you publish an ar.
ticle in which you have Intentionally re-
flsctsd upon my integrity and honesty as
a public official. Your glaring headlines
were designed to be sensational. You
say the meagre salary of $1,000 per an
mum does not make governor rich even
il he does use $4,000 contingent fund9
SNOW in your own consciousness you
know the publication is libel, made up
entirely of fslsshoods. You did not be-
lievs you were telling the truth when
the article was pennsd. You know that
if such q rumor had gained Crsdence,
the facts could be readily obtained; il
not from the governor himself, by exam
instion Of the records OF jackson county,
Illinois. But you preferred to state
fslsehood rather than make inquiry.
You preferred to brace up the hopes Of
decaying political party and advance
your own personal interests by mali
ciously Rsssiling the character Of fel-
low citizen whose integrity is, to say
the least, as unimpeAchsbIe az your own.
1t is hardly necessary to say that / have
never been in Jackson county, Illinois, to
my knowledge. Inever have had and do
not now own an acre OF land in Illinois,
directly or indirectly, nor have l in
dictsd q sign. word or syllable, letter or
character by which / could come into
possession OF land in the state OF Illi-
nois.
"In conclusion, / regret that the high
calling OF journalism has been prosti-
tuted to such degree that so-cslled re-
spectacle editors like yourself, can, with
impunity, descend to destroy the repu-
tstion and honor of their fellow citizens,
whose only crime ia Q difference Of
opinion as to the methods Of government.
Yours truly, L. D. LEwELLING."

Notice to Policy Holders.

The insurance superintendent has cir
culated the following notice:
ut has come to my notice that the re-
ceivsr Of the Burlington Insurance COM
psny, Of Burlington, Ia, w. E. Blake,
has sent out notices and is endeavoring
to collect the unearned premium notes
OF policy holders in said company, in this
state; now, therefore, 1, s Fl. Snldsr, su-
perintendent OF insurance of the state Of
Kansas, do hereby notify policy holders
in said company that they are not liable
for said notes; first, because there is q
provision in the policies issued by said
company stlpulstipg that il said notes
are not paid when due the policy will be
forfeited; second, the company having
failed and passed into the hands Of q re-
ceiver February IA, 1894, there can be
no 'value received" for said notes and
therefore they are void and collection
cannot be enforced"

Not the Governors Farm.

The other day the State Journal per-
petrsted one of it's sensational fakes,
under a six.story scare head, telling
how Governor Lswelling owns q large
farm in jackson county, Illinois, for
which he paid $1,000. The Journal in.
sinuated that the farm was obtained IN
peculiar manner, and speculated on
the probability Of the governor going
there to live, after his term should ex-
pire. But the following statement by
the governor (which the Journal refused
to publish). would indicate that the farm
