Case of Commissioner Fricle gainst the
Philadelphia Insurance Company.


Madison, Wis, Oct. 29.-[Special.lE
The issue between the Guarantors' Liza
bility and Indemnity company of Phila-
jeIphia and Insurance Commissioner
Fricke, as to the latter's right to revoke
the comoany's license, will be heard be-
fore Judge Siebecker in the circuit court
in the latter part of November or early
in December The defendant made an
swer Monday at Baraboo to the writ of
mandamus secured by the company. The
question at issue is one of fact as to
whether the company actually refused
to submit to an examination of its
books, on which ground the commission
er revoked its license.
The company claims that all it asked
was delay until meeting of the di-
rectors could be held, but as they had
already had two weeks notice the com
missioner did not consider further delay
necessary and brought the officers to the
point of refusing to submit to an exam
inatiCn, when the license was revoked.

DEAR OLD ARDMORE.
Ed s. LOekett Writes an Interesting Let
ter From Joplin MIssourI-Of All PIa-
ees None to Him are Like Ardmore.
JOPLIN, Mo-, Jan. 25tb. 'ss.

JOPLIN, Mo-, Jan. 25th. '96.
Dear ARDMoREITE:
In order to close up some old mat
ters which demand our attention,
will be in dear Ardmore next week
for few days. You cannot imagine
how much pleasure it will afford me
to once more be in a place where
can meet my old friends.
/ have been here in Joplin for ten
days establishing a b-Pnch house for
my firm and during the whole time
l have not seen one single person
whom / have ever known before.
Joplin is a beautiful city of about
$4,000 inhabitants and is thoroughly
up to date. The principal source Of
revenue here is from mining interests
in lead and zinc and it is to me quite
novel sight to look out at night
and see the lurid glare of tine smell
ters with streams OF fire pouring out
of their large tunnels. To an unex-
perienced eye like my own, it looks
as if numbers of houses were on fire.
The banks here all stay open
Saturday night in order to pay of
the miners and l am informed the
pay roll averages weekly about $780,
10000
Five miles east of here is Webb
City, place of 5000 people; seven
miles in same direction is Carterville
of 5000 people; and about six miles
from the latter place is Carthage,
10, 900 people. All three of these
places are connected with Joplin by
an electric railwas which makes
trips every 80 minutes. Eight miles
west of here is Galena having about
1000 people, so you see in radius
of 26 miles, there are five cites ag-
gregating $4,000 people which seems
strange to us who have been accus-
toned to Texas and Indian Territory.
am always glad to get my ARD
MoREITG and intend for it to be a
daily visitor to my household as
long as it is published.
While it is very probable that am
permanently Nilsson ian, my choice
is, as it always was, to be in old
Ardmore and l regret most exceed
ingly that the combination of ad-
verse circumstances there necessi-
tated my removal to these foreign
fields.
With best wishes and hoping the
APDMoREITE a continuation of that
prosperity which it justly deserves
am yours, very truly,
