THE MUTUAL LIFE.

Some of the Figures Which the
Official Report Elsewhere Show.
The Mutual Life Insurance Compan nv
of New York celebrated the fftieth
year of its existence in 1898. and the
event will be memorable as being one
of the most successful in business
point of view that the company has ever
experienced.
The report for 1893 demonstrates the
increasing popularity of the Mutual
Life and the extension of the benefits
conferred upon those fortunate enough
to hold its policies. The assets now
amount in the aggregate to $780,
7.6So.14, and the liabilities to
s16s, 755, O71.2S. The surplus fund for
he payment Of dividends and to
insure the policy holder against every
possible future emergency amounts to
S17.902, 6US.91, and is a sum which if
added to the enormous amount paid out
in dividends to policy holders In pa st
years would largely exceed the surplus
aecumulations of any similar institution
in the world.
During 1898 the policy holders in the
Mutual Life Insurance company re-
ceived $50. $50, 472.40. against $40, 1885,
532.46 in 1892. The Mutual Life has
now policies in force insuring SS03, 2s4,-

Explains. ~, s27n a..ssefi -
The statement published In the
GLOBE several days ago that scheme
was on foot looking to the ousting of
Assessor E. r. Johnstone was made
light of by number; of the faithful
who had not been let into the secret.
The more the matter was Investigated.
however, the more firmly those
interested became convinced there
was something III it. Yester-
was settled by call issued for meet
) ing of the Republican members of the
council. The caucus Will be held at
the mayors Office this afternoon at
O'Clock, and although a number Of the
reformers professed to have no idea
what it was called for several of them
finally admitted that it was to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of making change in
the asSesSorship.
President Wolderstorff, who with the
mayor and county auditor constitutes
the trio that has the appointment Of the
assessor. was seen yesterday afternoon
and asked as to what the chances were
for new assessor to be selected. Mir.
WolterstOrf said he was not prepred to
say just at present; but he minated
that if he was backed by other
members of the party there was pos
sibility of change being made. 1t was
questionable, he said, if at the present
time it would be advisable for himself
and the county auditor, especially as
that official was in a very trying posi-
ton. to act together and elect new
man for assessor. For this reason the
call for a caucus had been issued, and
the matter would be discussed with
view OF taking such action as would be
of the greatest benefit to the party.
The name of Charles PaSsavant had
been mentioned for the place, Mr.. VOL
terstorH said, but further than this he
knew nothing about it.
Several members of the council seen
in regard to the caucus expressed sur
prise that the thing should have leaked
out. but claimed that they knew nothing
of the object of the call further than
that they mad heard IL was in connection
with proposed change in the assess
or's office.

There was an interesting meeting last
night at the Commercial club by Joint
committee made up from the jobBers'
unirn. Commercial club. chamber of
commerce, prominent manufacturers,
railroad men and others interested to
consider the subject of Ignite coal.
Maj. FlemHing, of Fargo, was present,
and repeated in substance what he said
In the forenoon before the chamber of
commerce upon North Dakota's Ignite
product, to be found elsewhere in the
paper. 5ibsf
Mr.. Sullivan, of Mandan, a clothing
merchant, gave the result OF his expert
ences in heating two stores. and pro-
nounced the fuel entirely satisfactory.
Thomas Pettigrew is one OF the most
practical engineers in North Dakota,
and told of the use of Ignite at the ill.,
sane asylum at Jamestown. Previously
Youghiogheny had been used, at S6.S2
per ton. Lignltc costing but 1892 per
ton had proved the better of the two.
General Traffic Manager Hannaford.
Of the Northern Pacific; OIL invitation to
speak. said: There are but two ques-
tions that see to be settled now. These
are: Does st. Paul want this coal?
The other is whether it can be
brought here at profit to
the railroad companies You do
not desire us to haul at loss. The
Northern Pacific has already brought in
sixty tons free. There is no trouble to
Col,
test if it is good fuel. The practical
question is, can we get in better fuel
than we now have for less money!"
Maj. FlemmIng agreed that Mr.. Petit
grew should come to st. Paul and con-
dnct tests. 1t was shown that by the
Northern Pacific the distance from the
Ignite fields to st. Paul was from $50 to
500 miles; by the 500 line, $50 miles !;
by the Great Northern, a some
what longer haul. MaJ. Fem.
ming agreed to furnish any number of
tons desired for practical test, and
representatives of the Walter A. Wood
Harvester works and the Northwestern
Wheel works agreed to give the Ignite
trial. The Northern Pacific voiun-
teered, through Mr.. Hannaford, TO
bring it here free.
Tie following committee was selected
to make the tests:
George FarweIl, Jobbers' union; E.
j. HUdgson, Commercial club; J. w. l..
Corning, chamber of commerce.; ID. H..
Mcgowan. Walter A. Woods Harvester
works; w. Z. Harper. Northwestern
Wheel and Foundry company. This
committee will report at all adjourned
meeting of the JOINT committee, TO be
called by the chairman.
Travelling Passenger Agent Judson

Judge" Orr Making His Piav.

The Third Ward Republican club met
in the Portland block OH Broadway last
night, and declined to indorse a candi-
date for alderman, although a motion
for that purpose was put. Grier Nj. Orr
was present with his handy little boom
for judge and clerk OF the municipal
court, but the prompt shutting off of
the motion to idorse for alderman had
something of blighting effect on his
hopes. The club furnished its own
orators for the evening.
