GOphers Galore,

Devils Lake Inter Ocean: The offer
of 2 cents apiece for gopher tails bids
fair to bankrupt the county treasury, if
the present rush continues much longer.

which it had paid out S416.08. Eugene

INSURANCE FIGURES.

Insurance Business.

The state insurance department has
gotten out an interesting report of the
business done by insurance companies
in the year 1898. The report shows the
business done by life, accident, fdel-
ity, plate glass, live stock and hail in.
surance companies, and contains some
interesting statistics.
VI the life insurance companies, the
Northwestern Mutual Life seems to be
the favorite, or else it has the more
active hustlers among it's agents. It
issued 249 policies in the course of the
year, representing $780, 05 worth of in
surance, and bringing the number of
policies IN force at the end of the year up
to 1859, representing about s2,5OO,OOO
worth of life insurance. The company
received $50, 747.4l in premiums during
the yeur, and incurred s14,5OO worth of
losses, all of which were paid.
The New York Life comes second on
the list, as to business done in the year,
having issued ISL policies, covering
s258,000. The Mutual Life is, however,
second or the list of number of policies
in force at the close of the year, with
974, representing $4,000, 900 of insurance,
and the Equitable Life is third with 8O2,
representing 81, 100000 of insurance.
Taking the total of straight life insur.
ance, it will be seen that quite a bust
ness was done in the state during the
year. Altogether, 1924 policies we're
issued, representing nearly 100000 of
insurance. The several Life companies
received s~404.72287 in premiums, and
paid out sS1,33333.85 in losses.
OF the miscellaneous insurance risks,
Lloyds' plate glass insurance company
wrote 56l,173.34 worth of risks in tie
year, received s2,16S.27 in premiums, and
incurred s1,128.50 in losses.
The accident insurance companies did
not suffer any extensive losses, although
a number of risks were written, aggre-
eating, by all of the companies, $685.
$50. On this amount, $14,3O7.48 prem
ium was paid, and the several companies
sustained s4,98l. so in losses. The Tray
elers Accident of Hartford, did by far
the greater part of the business, having
taken S2,626,000 in risks, received s7,77O.-
25 in premiums, and paid s6,666.19 in
lands.
ONLY one live stock insnranca oomnonv
operated in the state, the Northwestern
of Des Moines. The company wrote
$45,O5O in risks, received 1888 in prem
iums, and paid $2.4OO in losses.
By the several North Dakota hail in
surance companies, 184,ss3 acres of land
i n crop were insured last year. On this,
premiums were paid of $$43y64S.46, and
losses incurred of sl4,841.92.

some church Changes.

By the arrangements and assignments
made by the Methodist conference, Rev.
Sheckler, now presiding elder of the
Bismarck district will leave this city.
The M%ethodists have re-apportloned the
state into three districts instead of four
as formerly, and this takes from the
state n presiding elder. The change
is made, owing to a decrease of some
s1,200i in missionary money, and Rev.
Sheckler will go to Luverne, Mimi, to
assume the passionate there. He expects
to leave about the middle of next week,
for his new home, and his friends here,
while regretting his departure, will wish
him success there.
Rev. S. F. Beer, who was for some
time pastor here, goes to Absaraka, in
Cass county, and Rev. w. NJ. Spoor has
been assigned to the Bismarck church.

How They 10 1t.

Some time ago down IN Fargo, a num-
Der of the citizens petitioned the mayor
to appoint one Andrew Nelson on the
police force. The signers of the petition
were many of the best citizens of the
city, and Mayor Ball about concluded to
appoint the man. Before il was done,
however, the mayor was called out of
town, and on his return he found the
following liberal, not to say original,
proposition from Mr.. Nelson:
Fargo, N. Dakota, April 23rd, 1884,
Mayor Ball, Fargo, N. D.-Dear Sir: You
have my application for policeman if you
appoint me l will bee glad to pay you 10
dol. a month, 12O dol. a year as long as l
am on the force. If you want to see me
about that write to me and l will come to
your Office. Yours truly,
ANDREW NELSON, Box 971.
1t is needless to say Mayor Ball did
not become party the proposition, and
Mr.. Nelson will not get the "yob."
