Salina, Kas., Nov. 12-Three masked
robbers attempted 10 hold up the bank at
Sylvan Grove, Kas., forty miles west OF
here, at neon today, and one OF their
number met death in an unusually tragic
manner. He was shot by the cashier Of
the bank, and when, in a dying condition,
was perforated with bullets by his own
companions, to save themselves from ex-
posure.
The men rode into town on fast horses.

gained victory and the practical end
surance companies ON the east. AS a
; result of this victory q. W. S. Van
Slyke, western manager of the Broad
way Insurance company has joined the
membership of the union, after rat
Ting fight of several years.
When the mutual insurance coTnpan-
les first commenced to do business on
the coast in the fall of 1889 there was
not a cent of insurance which was not
written under compact rules. The mu-
tual plan was very alluring, and a
! number of large property owners and
merchants, whose premiums under
compact rules ran into thousands annu-
ally, seemed only too glad of the OPP
portunity to hold policies under the
banner of selection, inspection and
protection" the war cry of the mu-
tUals. The mutuals wrote JUMBO
lines, and the merchants had just such
lines to offer especially when the bait
, of 40 per cent discount on present
rates" was held out to them.
For a very brief time the companies
belonged to the Pacific Insurance union
and their presence caused such hot
fights in the compact that utter dis
ruption was threatened on several oc-
casions. The troubles were solved by
the withdrawal of Armstrong; COM
panies from the union, and the rate
war of stock companies versus mutuals
commenced.
In the first year of this business on
this coast Van Slyke earned for his
three mutual companies premiums
amounting to SSS,O0O and the losses
were only 1921. This statement is extra
ordinary, but, as all insurance men
know, almost any cOmpany's business
shows up well for the first two years,
and it is not until the third or fourth
year that losses begin to come in. Still
the showing made was a very good
one. and but for the succeeding years
in the eastern states they might still
be f1ourishing In 1890 and 1891 the
losses all over the Union were very
heavy The fires OF Galveston, Vino
ma, Minneapolis, Cincinnati and else
where tested the theories of mutual in
surance in a very practical manner, ana
in December, 1891, the sponge was
thrown I'D and the Lancashire reinsur-
ed the business of the trio.
General Manager DonneD, of the
local branch of the union, is back from
Pocatello, where he went several days
ago on special business. 1t is a state
secret, but those on the inside now
call him Grandpa DonneH, for his son
Jack is the father Of a bouncing ten
pound boy. The young5ter came sew
eral days before the captains visit to
Pocatello, where Jack is now doing
business.
Surveyor Gilbert went down to Frisco

An eastern female college has intro

study of manners. 1t is to be hoped that
other institutions of learning-especiaily

AS a nation, we are sadly deficient IN
elaborate and often absurd ceremonies
of European polite life we. have gone 10
the opposite extreme, and as a conse-
uuence sometimes Americans of the most
refined nature appear rude and uncouth.

our Young men and women the politeness
that comes from a gentle heart and
