Jones declared that he must certainly
pay sewer tax, but Mr.. Pratt con-
WINGED him that his property was out
side the sewer district.
A very great majority of business
men who conduct the business enter
prises of Wichita rent the houses IN
which they do business, and pay no
paving tax, but a majority pay sewer
tax. AS most of the business men own
their own homes.
T. II. Black of the Wichita Wholesale
Grocery company, said: 81 think that
would be a good idea. About half OF
the paving for Main street has been
paid but there is no use crowding the
people now.
''These debts ought to be arranged so

ly injure our credit by failing to meet

RATES WILL GO UP
DISARMAMENT OF FIRE COMPANIES
STIR UP INSURANCE MEN.
Clarkson of Topeka Writes Two Letters on
the Subject-He Says that Insurance
Rates are Bound to Go Up, Especially on
West Side Property-He Gives the Why's
and WherefOres of the Situation-It is
Not Very Pleasant Information. But
There Seems to Be no Help for 1t just
Now,

Now comes the insurance companies
like CAD flies, to bother Wichita.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago two fire companies were disbanded
1t was then claimed by some that the
rate of insurance would go up while
others claimed that il would not go up
The indications are that il Will go UP
and that it Will add more to the bur-
den of the people than the cost Of the
two disbanded fire companies.
At any rate the reliability is that
the disbanded fire companies will not
be put back into service again as the
outlook for an adequate revenue is
more discouraging now than il was
when the fire companies Were disband-
ed
H. Clarkson, of Topeka, head of the
advisory rate bureau has opened cor
respondence with a gentleman connect

cry company. which is as follows:

yours of the 18th. Thanks for the in
that you are still moving in the matter
of a safe power. We return the PAM
phlet No. 3, as we are now supplied
with quite a number of copies, and you
may find this useful.
There is another question that de-
sire to raise with you, as you may be
interested and able to do some service
to prevent an unfortunate thing hap
pening.
Il am told that your city has disban-
died. or about to disband two Of the fire
companies OF your city. Now you will
understand that the insurance compan-
les are interested in the matter of the
efficiency of your fire department and
your water supply, and the rates that
you now have were made on the basis
of what you have had. and you had
full credit for what you had.
Now if it is proposed to dispense
with any of the appliances that you
had, there will be a serious kick on the
part of the companies, and the danger
is that there will be a necessity for an
advance of rates.
You will understand that every town
in all the country is rated according
TO the character of the water supply
and fire department. and in the future

A HERO FROM KANSAS.
He is a Pop. But for all that He Uph cid the
Reputation of kansas.

There is only one Populist cadet in
the naval academy at Annapolis and he
is from Kansas. He is the son of SEN
ator Lands of Medicine Lodge, and he
was appointed by Jerry Simpson, VINO
was something of sailor himself in his
youth. The following from the Ana
polls Capital tells what this boy has
done:
THE middies have long been famous
for deeds of desperate bravery, but
none ever excelled the rescue of Friday
morning. The third and fourth crews
of cadets were practicinS on the broad
Severn aboard the little steam launches
of the academy, and it happened that

was in charge of Cadet Herndon, Of
Texas. The launch also carried Ca
diets Boyd. Lands, Day, Graene and
Jensen. Towards the close of the
drill Lieutenant Doyle had "wigwag"
signal sent to the launch, ordering her
20 come in. Cadet Boyd, flag in hand,
jumped on the side of the boat to read
the message, but as it was rolling quite
heavily in the swell of the river, and he
was intently watching the signal from
the other boat, he missed his footing
and fell almost backward into the wa

magnificent heroism that has ever
marked the sons of the west in mo-

auSOCates
Mrs Mary z. Lease has returned
from her campaign in Dakota and Ne
braska.
A reporter for the Eagle met Mrs
Lease and her son Charles, taking a
walk over in the east part of town
near their home last night.
Mrs. Lease seemed to he in the best
of health and satisfied with herself and
all the world.
The idea seems TO have never entered
her head that the Populist party will
fail.
Did you have good meetings in Ne
braska and Dakota" asked the repor-
ter of Mrs. Lease.
Yes. L had good meetings in both
states.' she said. "but it was hard
work 1 made four speeches in Nebras-
ka and five in Dakota.
1t was hard work because the crowd
was so large that no house could be Sc
cured to accommodate them and l
had to speak in the open air.
The people are getting interested in
the issues of the day and the sentiment
in favor of the free coinage of silver is
growing every day. The campaign of
education is doing its work"

Mrs. Lease what do pou think Of the
Horr-Harvey debate?'
When this question was asked the
Pouplist leader gathered the folds Of
her rich silks and stood on tip toes, her
face wreathed in smiles. and said:
Mr.. Horn is a goner. He was lost
the very moment he began to deal il

MIR. Harvey is a, gentleman and
what is greater still he is right Don't
you know that Mr.. Harvey gained a
great victory for the truth when he
made Mr.. Horr admit that silver was
formerly the unit of value in this coun-
try.

denied this but their chosen champion

TO give credit to those things that make

lows:
TOPEKA, Kan, July II. 1895.
Dear Sir:-Yours of the 18th received
and | am glad to know that the mayor
of Wichita does not propose to cripple
the present department of your city.
'One part OF the information that
am selling To the companies is keeping
them advised a. to the condition of fire
departments and water supplies. and
they Will rely somewhat upon my state
mentS as to the amount of risks that
they assume regardless of the rate that
they get, because in a city without fire
department they have no disposition
TO carry lines 10 the extent that they
supply and good departments.
The legislatureof last year added an
other burden 10 the companies, that of
> per cent tax on all the premiums re-
ceiYed by the companies in cities haV
ing organized fire departments. This
is heavy addition L. the expense Of
doing business in the state.
The money IS 10 go for the benefit
Of disabled firemen: none OF il. as l I'M

nents more efficient. II is simply a
fund provided by these taxes to pro-
tect disabled fiTemen and their widows

"Of course the companies in paying

lecting ii TO keep the standard of their
fire departments equal 10 the emergen-
cy Of each city. and certainly Wichita
cannot afford 10 reduce the efficiency
of its present department; il is none
too good considering all the surround
