A MT. UNION MAN.
Loses No Time In Answering the Con-
necticut Insurance Man Who
Bears Fifty Cent Dollars.

Mt. Union, Ohio, August 5, 1896.
Editor News-Democrat have read
in daily paper the following extract
purporting to come from letter of warn
ing from J. L. Greene, President Of
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company, to the policy-holders of this
company: "Our contracts with you
agree to pay your families so many dol
lars. There has never been any doubt
what was intended thereby, but should
we come upon silver basis your policies
would, for the present, be paid in dollars
worth to your families only 80 cents, and
the great bulk of them would probably be
paid in dollars worth not more than from
25 to 35 cents.' Further: 1T Is, there
fore, our duty to warn you that by SO
much as it was your duty to make this
provision for the protection Of our fami-
lies, by so much as it is your present duty
to see so far as your action can prevent 1t,
that no part of that provision is lost to
them by being paid in dollars which are
worth anything less than the 100 cents
in which you have been paying your
premiums" etc.
do not know what the financial stand
ing of the Connecticut Mutual Life In,
surance Company now is-have seen nc
report on the oompany's condition recent
ly, but isn't there something suspicious
in that statement. l am a policy
holder in an insurance company mot,

since he talks about paying out what
would practically amount to only 80 oonti
on the dollar invested), but am unable
to get scared over Mr.. Greene's warning
SO far as my own company is concerned
/ may be obtuse, but it seems TO me thai
so long as q silver dollar is maintained
full legal tender, 1t will be worth full
100 cents. 1 am now paying premium
on a So, 900 policy. really do not know
just what sort of money the INSURANCE
company finally receives, since l pa,

form Of money manage to get hold 0
for th purpose, but If what ! pay in goe
directly to the company's treasury, the
mo re Of 1t consists of silver certificate
and national bank notes than anythin
else-I'm satisfied that no gold goes In.
AS I understand the matter, whethe
we are 10 be on "silver basis" or 81
YER and gold basis, all dollars (hoth silyt
and gold) are to be full legal tender fc

BAD MOVE FOR COCONINO.

The matter of extending the Navajo Indian reservation from it's present limits to the Colorado river is being agitated. The move if carried into execution would prove disastrous to the stock interests of Coconino county Large herds of cattle and sheep range on the Little Colorado, both in winter and summer, and if this range is given over to the Indians, many of our stock men would have to quit the business. The Indians already have very large territory on which to graze their herds, but not satisfied with this, they must intrude on the whites. The stockmen of our county pay taxes on their stock while the Indian does not, and it is not just nor right that they should be allowed greater privileges than the honest, toiEng stockmen of our coun- ty. These Indians have been for sev- eral years bringing their stock nearer and nearer this way, and if allowed a free sweep to the Little Colorado, they will not stop there, and the result will be that the stockmen will have to give
 up the business We believe a me morial to congress signed by our citi- zens would put a stop to the move Flagstaff Sun-Democrat.

FIXING BABY'S TEETH.
Touching Incident in One of the Phoe-
 nix Class Rooms

Conventional reporters are supposed to encounter so much sadness and so much of the pathetic in their daily rounds that they become totally cal lous and insensible to even the most heart-fooding episodes. But when Republican scribe reported to the city editor with his budget of items Friday evening a globular sparkle danced in the corner of his eye that resembled most suspiciously genuine human tear. The editor said nothing, but af- ter the forms of the paper had been locked up and when the laundering presses were grinding out their thou sands of issues for Saturdays sale, a confession flowed almost unconscious ly from the newspaper toiler who had tried so long to repress any evidence of unprofessional sentimentality.
 You see, boys," he explained to his fellow reporters, q just dropped in a moment to hear the closing exercises of Miss Christy's class of youngsters at the high school building, prepara- tory to their dispersion for the Christ mas holidays All the children recited commendably, but one little miss de- picted the supposed tots trouble so naturally that really I couldn't get rid of some downright witches in the ; neighborhood of what is supposed to be the human pericardium. The juve- nile elocutionist was describing her imaginary friends disappointment on | discovering that her newly arrived baby sister had no teeth. Finally she illustrated how the ideal miss sat down and wrote a letter to the Creator whom she had already been taught to confide in. This was the letter: Dear God: Please come back to our house and finish baby's teeth
 "The representation was so simple and yet so sincere and natural that everybody for a moment seemed tC feel the presence of Infinite Majesty pausing in His ceaseless benefcence tc read that letter of the dream child anC to assure her that baby in due time should have teeth and joy and happi

 A special charge has been filed against Long for selling a certain prize, and he has thirty days in which to prove that he has not sold the priZe or he will be declared professional; :; meanwhile he is suspended from the track
 With Cooper the charge is more trivial. Last month he got permis- sion to ride in amateur races at Ell Paso. On his return he should have immediately answered certain inter rogatories regarding his expenses on the trip. This he has failed so far to do, and he will be suspended from the track until that is done.

 All this comes from San Francisco from the member of the racing board in charge of the Pacific coast states Arizona is such a small division, ant so far from the racing centers, that il has led to a loOseness in observance O. the rules, and, although no riders have been suspended before, this. shows tha MT.

TWO BOLD BURGLARS.
Entered the House of Jerry Millay and
 Stole Some Jewelry.

Yesterday evening about 80 o'clock two men entered the home of Jerry Millay at 33S East Adams street and made off with a lot of jewelry.
 Mrs. Millay and her mother had been up town to supper and upon en- tering the house on their return they heard noise at the rear of the build ing. Going there they found lthe back door open and oth- CT evidences that somebody had been on the premises. The approach of the ladies had scared the intruders, who made hasty departure over the back yard fence. The tracks in the yard showed that there were two men. Entrance to the. house was af- fected by cutting away the screen on the back porch, then pushing open a door leading to the kitchen, which was secured only by hook on the inside.
 The burglars found Mrs. Millay jewel case and extracted the articles | from the tray. They had not time to explore further. The jewelry stolen is valued at $100.
 MT. Millay is at present absent from the city on hunting trip. The ladies had been away from home the best part of the day, which fact was prob ably known to the thieves, who were evidently watching the house.

TAPEWORMS IN FOWL S.
Interesting Bulletin Issued by the De
partment of Agriculture.

Interesting Bulletin Issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture.
The department of agriculture has
just issued a very interesting bulletin
on this subject, prepared under direc-
tion of d. E. Salmon, of the bureau Of
animal industry. 1t records 80 species
of tapeworm that affect poultry and
wild birds, but some of them are doubt
full. Six different tapeworms are re-
corded from pigeons, 2 from turkeys,
II from chickens, 2 from swans, Z from
geese, 1G from ducks, etc.
Chickens are known to become
affected with one tapeworm through
eating slugs; they are supposed to be
come infected with another through
eating snails, and still another, from
earthWOrms. Ducks are known to be-
come infected through swallowing
fresh-water crustaceans, and with two
others they are supposed to become
infected the same way. One species is
supposed to be transmitted through
flies. Geese are infected through
fresh-water crustaceans-shelI ami.
mails
With ducks and geese that have free
access to streams, ponds, lakes, etc,
prevention is impossible. With chick
ems, an determination of slugs will pre-
vent one species, Davainea progIottina
In general, clean grounds are advised
and a change of turkeys to chicken
grounds, and vice versa. Destroy the
manure from infected fowls.
Among the remedies advised is pow
dred areca nut, to 3 grains; LIQUID
extract of male fern; turpentine. etc.
Experiments with turpentine show
that one-half an ounce is the maximum
dose for a full-grown chicken; to 5
teaspoonfuls is the safe rule, according
TO size of chicken.

Vines as an Attraction.

The object OF plants and flowers is to
beautify, and the lover of a well-ap.
pointed lawn and grounds will make no
mistake if he allows them to beautifv
the commonplace objects about the
home. A trim yard of wire netting fur
nishes a most excellent trellis for vines,
while being, at the same time, orna.
mented by them. Such a netting fence
affords an excellent place for the grow.
ing Of many kinds of grapes, while
the shade thus afforded will be most
grateful to the inmates of the yard
during; the hot weather. Carrying the
utility" idea still further, one might
mention the hop vine as most suitable
to train around the doorway. If one
is trying to make his grounds look well.
it is certainly wise to avail ones self
of this easy way to lend beauty, and
even useful beauty, to what might
otherwise be an unattractive object.
