Endorsement. Mark you it has never
received any other kind.
You can 90 boldly forth and say &c
the people we have been tried in the
balance and we were not found want
ing. That we are supported by the
very highest official Endorsements as
to our solvency and correct business
methods; that we pay all our Honest
death claims III Full and sell YOU
insurance at cost. Can you ask more
We sell you a policy as good as &
government bond. and our phenom-
email success serves as 4 reliable
barometer of the good will and sup
port with which we are received by
the public. You can state that our
collections were never better than
under our August call. On the 9th.
the daily report of the home Office
showed receipts $4,000 in applic-
ations. We received on the first four
DAYS of this month at this office $780,
600, yet you hear the apostles of Old
Lineism crying out the Mutual
Reserve is in the hands OF a receiver.
These gentlemen % had as well
stop their lying; their tricks are too
well understood their fame has gone
abroad, and like their predecessor,
Ananias. they must fall at the feet
of their idol and give up the goal.
The Mutual Reserve will, after Jan.
i, issue new policy. 1t will not be
Old Line double assessment. 1t will
be new line single assessment, dis
tinctly marked with the knowledge
obtained from our own experience
of fifteen years and other companies
of our class. combined with the ex-
perience of our Old Line people of
90 wears. 1t will contain all the
modern Improvements that exper-
fence has proven TO be practicable.
New line insurance must and has
taken the day. OurOld Line friends
have been running in the same old
rut for 30 years and stacked legal
reserve of over $I,000,o00,0O0 much
to the detriment of the business.
This centralizing of capital has al
most demoralized our government
and bankrupted and pauperized its
citizens. The people must open their
eyes in self-defense.
Gentlemen, we shall expect a good
record for September. 1t will not be
impossible for the Mutual Reserve to
plant S4.O00,OO0 of business in Texas
before Jan. |. / trust there is not
an agent in the field who will fail
to give us at least $4,000 for the
month, which will entitle him to
the extra bonus if the expense fund
is paid.
With my very best wishes for yo,ir
success. believe me, Truly,
S.CHAPMAM, State Manager.

MORE WITNESSES AGAINST
MKINLEYISM.


Galveston News.
An interesting item of news
comes from San Angelo from
which it is learned that the fall
clip of wool is arriving daily in
large quantities, nearly 500,
900 pounds having been receiv-
ed to date, and that the great
rush after sheep. indicates a
return of prosperity in that in
dustry upon a free trade basis
Large numbers ofsheep." con
tinues the correspondent, "are
being brought to this county
from counties east of here
where grass is not so plentiful
and land is higher. Sheepnen
claim that next years crop OF
lambs will probably be the
largest for several years, and
from the most available improv-
ed stock" The wonderful re
vival in the iron industry dur
ing the past half year left only
one important product of the
American people for Mckinley
ties to use in their business.
This product was wool. The
growing demand for wool at the
busy mills Of the east has al
ready tended rapidly TO rob
these desperate campaigners of
even a fragment of their rem
nant in trade, and now comes
this bit of gratifying news from
western Texas and testimony of
similar tone from other pas
toral regions to make their dis
comfiture complete. The San
Angelo instance is an addition
al object lesson in favor of free
raw material. 1t tends with
other evidence to show that the
whole economic tendency of a
free trade or approximate free
trade basis is to promote the
prosperity of the wool and
other staple industries contrib
utory to finished factory pro
ducts by stimulating and en-
larging the activities and de-
mands in the latter sphere of
industry and production. One
special reason why Texas and
American wool nnder judicious
management may defy cOmpeti-
ton on a free trade basis has
been carefully overlooked by
the Mckinley protectionists.
This is the ability of the Amer
lean growers with their superior
natural advantages to produce
wool of superior quality and
thus TO command markets both
at home and abroad. McKin-
leyfsm does not seem to realize
it, but his chief issue, McKin-
leyism, is dead or hopelessly
moribund.

you, you certainly have my warmest
congratulations and the congratuia-
tons of our officers for your courage
and most excellent work. Our enc
mics, through jealousy, fear and self
aggrandizement, have been busily
engaged in giving us all the dirt
possible. We will have TO allow
them to throw some mud, as this is
their only weapon. 1t is only neces-
sary for rs TO use cold and official
facts, which is far better. They have
resorted to all kinds of unfair tactics
yet there efforts have been in VAIN,
as if usual when such unfair means
is resorted to break down justice and
honesty. While our country is flood
en- with cheap-John literature (such
stuff as c. g. Hagers, Jr., and others
of his kind are peddling among our
agents for a livelihood.) yet in all
this stuff you do not find one single
official document or one that they
are willing even for YOU TO see.
l am proud to note that our people
are becoming educated to the fact
that that company of that agent who
will resort to this mode of business
is either representing something that
will not sell on its merits or that
they are not doing an honest and a
legitimate business. The 81. Louis

TO MOVE THE CAPITAL.

New Kansas Party That Wants to Deprive
Washington of Its Importance.
A convention of "Reformers" was held
in Labette county, a few days ago, at
which steps were taken to perfect the
organization of a new political party to
be known as the Independent American.
The principles of the proposed party
were set forth in elaborate resolutions
declaring for true Americanism, free
coinage of silver, and the removal of the
national capital to some point more CEN
trail than Washington.
A call was issued for state conven-
ton to be held at Topeka, on Thursday,
Sept 5, to which all persons in sympathy
with the principles of the proposed par
ty are invited Patriotic orders, such as
the A P. a, are especially invited to
send delegates.

The Prince de Joinville tells in his
Memoirs a story that is rather hard on
the Americans he found during his visit
to this country in war times: "One-of the
chief members of society at the time was
the British minister, Mr.. Fox, a diploma
fist of the old school. l was told that one
day as he was leaning against a chimney
piece in a drawing room, where dancing
was going on, in deep conversation, an
American came and stood just in front of
him in a country dance. Soon the young
man began to show signs Of anxiety; his
voice grew thick, his cheeks swelled alter
nately, and he cast anxious chances at the
chimneypiece. At last he could hold on
no longer, and with the most admirable
precision he shot all the juice of his quid
into the fireplace just between Mr.. Fox
and his interlocutor. Fine shot, sir, the
old diplomat cOntented himself with say
ing, with bow. '-Argonaut.

FIGHTING THE ASPHALT.
It is All Right But Brick Men Trying to
Discredit 1t.

It is All Right But Brick Men Trying to
Discredit 1t.
An effort will be made to have a strip
of asphalt on either side of the car
tracks where it has been the most worn
resurtaced. The people of Topeka want
the asphalt to stay. The willy schemes
of the brick men to wheedle the city into
the belief that the asphalt is entirely
worn out and brick should be put down
will not be successful
The people have tried both kinds of
pavements and have found that there is
no comparison between the two kinds.
With the repairing Kansas avenue needs
it will be in excellent shape and the cost
will not he great. If it is not repaired
the brick men will be happy, for they
will then see their way clear to having
the asphalt tabooed entirely and torn up
within few years.
The city engineer has found that if the
surface heater is used on the strip on
either side of the car tracks it will put
the pavement in the best of condition,
and it is proba BILE that the committee on
streets and walks will make such a rec
ommendation to the council at the next
meeting. The cost now is only half
what it has been to make the repairs.
The company used to charge $3.50 per
square yard and now the cont ract price
is but IS cents.

hitching post ordinance is not dead yet.

and with few changes the Second ward

CASABICRANKA.

The girl sat on the baseball stand
All but her beau had fed,
And he. poor chap, could not demand
Relief from what she said.
tsWhy does the pitcher throw it sof''
She murmured in dismay.
s'Such actions violent, you know,
His awkw ard moves display.
Why does he so expectorate
Upon the snow white ball?
Was he not taught until too late
That that's not nice at all?
Why does that fellowdon a cage
And let his voice resound
In cries of 'Strike!' awak ming rage
In those upon the ground2
Why do the runners always fall
And slide upon their face,
Or else-they do not care at all
Upon some other place?
Why do the people murmur 'RankP
He has no rank, it's plain.
Why does that player, lean and lank,
Seem in such awful pain?
Why does the catcher wear that pad
Close to his bosom pressed?
And why has not the other had
His clothes cut like the rest?
Why does that player swing the wood
In such reckless way
And question, as no good man should,
What those behind him say2
Why do the men such colors wear
But here she turned her head,
And then at last became aware
Her escort had dropped dead.

A Mind Reader Who VIII Try It for Ten
Days.
SAN Francisco, Aug. S.-Mind Reader
A McIver Tyndau proposes to permit
himself to be buried alive for ten days.
At the end of this time he expects to be
resurrected alive. His proposal is to be
placed in Theoretically sealed casket,
being first covered with clarified butter,
called by East Indians 'gee," sealing all
the pores of the body, eyes, mouth, ears
and nostrils.
This work is to be performed under
the eyes of physicians. The casket is
then to be placed six feet under ground,
covered with earth, and grass seed is to
he planted and permitted to spring above.
Trusted men are to keep guard over it
day and night. At the expiration of the
tenth day it shall be disinterred and
opened in the presence of physicians
who had witnessed the interment The
experiment is modelled after the feats
performed by an East Indian sect.
The feat will be performed at Santa

The Receivers Will Place Them on the
Market for Settlers.
SPOKANE, Wn., Aug. 6.-Receiver
Henry c. Payne of the Northern Pacific
arrived last night on special train from
the east. With him is United States Cir
cult Judge jenkins of Milwaukee, who
made the original order appo lnting the
three receivers for the Northern Pacific.
''The receivers have made application
for authority to enter upon extensive
improvements on The road" said Mr.
Payne Judge jenkins before granting
the desired authority expressed a pur-
pose to travel over the line and judge
for himself as to the need of the proposed
changes"
The receivers attention was dire cted
to the dispatch bearing the informa ton
that Braytou Ives, in the federal court at
Seattle yesterday had applied to Judge
Hanford to have the receivers appear
and show cause why an order appointing
them receivers had not been declar cd
null and void.
"This is the same old trouble" Mr..
Payne said. "Threshing over old straw
between Ives aud the Adams interests.
"The Northern Pacific Is a great pub
lie highway, and its construction was
largely aided by land grant The peo-
pie, therefore, have right to expect con-
tinued individual operation of the road.
"The receivers have recently entered
upon new policy in regard to the dis
posal of these lands to actual settlers.
They desire the advent of immigration,
and the settlement of the country. The
lands will accordingly be sold to pur-
chasers of this class at prices they are
able to pay, and which are close to gov

EASY TO KILL.
Russian Thistle Can BE Differentiated If
Not Allowed to Go to Seed.

Russian Thistle Can BE Exterminated If
Not Allowed to Go to Seed.
State Secretary of Agriculture Coburn
says of the Russian thistle: "The plants
are now generally coming into bloom or
forming their seeds, and should be sought
out and exterminated before any have
time to ripen. A majority of the people
seem to suppose that because the plant
is called thistle (which it is not,) that
it is akin to the Canada thistle, with roots
that live through the winter and are only
destroyed by digging, sailing. burning.
etc, which is all a mistake. This Rus
sian importation is an annual, producing
only from the seed each season, and
needs but to be cut off near the ground
before the seeds mature to prevent its
spread There is, to be sure, law re-
curing the destruction of such noxions
weeds, under the direction of the county
commissioners, but no right minded cit
izen should wait to be commanded by
public officials before beginning per-
sistent war of determination on such en-
emies.
