The Kansas Mutual.

The attention Of the readers OF the
Advocate Is especially invited 10 the
card of the Kansas Mutual Life, which
appears elsewhere in this Issue Al
worthy home company should have q
large share of the life insurance bust
ness done In this state, and that this
company Is worthy and safe no one
questions. Not only is this company
worthy and safe, but for many valid
reasons 1t Is better company in which
to insure than the large eastern Mf9
companies. Its location Is far better
for the reason 1t can invest its funds
to better advantage than companies
located far In the east where rates Cf
interest are low and opportunities Tor
profiatble investment are not good.
The Kansas Mutual Life is located In
our midst and what ever money goes
to 1t to pay for life insurance is re-
tained at home and invested where ~
will conduce to the increase Of wealth
and the building up of Kansas.
The policy contracts are Of every de-
sirable form and as liberal and attrac-
tive as issued by any company,
Since organization this company hiss
paid to the widows and orphans OF de-
ceased pollcy-holders more than &60O,-
100000 and has paid policy-holders nearly
$1O0, 100000 In dividends, and has ac-
cumulated nearly 100000 90 with which
to meet future obligations. II has
made record for prompt payment 81
death losses and fair dealing unsug-
passed by any life insurance company

Before congress, however, restricted
the st. VrSin grant from 1900, 900 to
SO, 900 acres the agent for the owners
Of this alleged grant, which sdjoins
the Maxwell, sold land all through this
country. The Maxwell grant claim
ants did not then claim north of the
Ration mountains, the dividing line be,
tween Colorado and New Mexico. But
as soon as congress required this Sec
tion of Colorado to be treated as pub
lie land, then the Maxwell grant claim
ants laid claim to $50, 900 acres, rich in
coal and timber, to round out their
bogus New Mexico grant with. Hence,
the land in Colorado, located within
the ut-boundsries of the Vigil and St.
Vrsin grant, and required by act Of
congress of June q, 1861, to be treated
as public land, was, in violation of said
act, :unlswfully included within the
north line of the Elkins survey Of the
alleged Maxwell grant.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL LINE.
Settlers had rightly acquired private
and vested rights to lawfully surveyed
public land in the Purgatory or Las
Animss Valley in Colorado. But the
general land Office had found an easy
way of depriving them of their prop.
erty rights by unlawfully extending
the north line of the Elkins survey OF
the alleged Maxwell grant so as to in
clude their ranches as parts and par.
GELS of this bogus grant. This, how
ever, is an unconstitutional procedure.
According to the constitution the set
tiers in the Las Animas Valley can be
deprived of their rights of property
only by due process of law, But that
north line that deprived settlers on
lawfully surveyed public land in Colo
RADIO Of their vested rights of property
that led the general land Office to
cancel their entries, finsEreceipts and
patents s-that line still stands; and the
government seems determined that, In
spite of the constitution, that north
line shall continue to stand. "Better
stab the constitution" says the gov
ernment, ethan to ruin the regulations
of men whom the people have honored
with high official positions by an OK
posure of the monstrous official corrup.
tion connected with the establishment
of that north line."
UNDUE INFLUENCE LINE.
The commissioner of the general
land Office would not have instructed
the surveyor general Of New Mexico,
by a caretully-prepared diagram, to
wrongfully include the lawfully sur
Veyed public land Of Las Animss val
ley, Colorado, by a cunning trick and
fraud, within that north line, unless
unduly influenced by some influential
party to this disgraceful and criminal
procedure. The Maxwell Grant COM
pany-the owner Of the alleged Beau
bien and Miranda or Maxwell grant
says that company had nothing to do
with the Elkins survey of 1877; the
company AYERS through its solicitor
that the said Elkins survey was made
without its request, procurement or
knowledge" This leaves Congressman
