INSURANCE co. PAYS UP.
End of the Ridenour Case Begun Un-
der Snider.

G. w. Endicott of Boston, manager of
the Employers Liability and Insurance
company of London, Eng. Limited, at
the suggestion of superintendent Webb
McNan of the Kansas insurance de-
partment has settled the claim present
ed by A. NJ. BonesalI, administrator OF
the estate of A. L. Ridenour deceased
late of Arkansas City.
Ridenours widow sued the compa-
ny and it was stipulated between rep
resentatives of the company and super
intendent S. H. Snider then in charge of
the Kansas insurance department that
if the verdict of the lower court was IN
favor of the plaintiff the claim would be
paid In violation of this agreement
the case was appealed to the court OF
appeals where it has been dragging
along for some time.
Mr. Endicott has notified Mr.. McNall
that he was not aware of any such
stipulation but that he would abide by
it and has already forwarded draft
in full settlement of the claim which
now amounts to about S2,S00.

STATEN ISLAND PIRATES.
Many Small Boats Stripped of Trap
pings: Some Stolen Intact.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Staten Island
Sound pirates are at their nefar1ouS
work again. A few years ago they
terrorized the shore dwellers on both
sides of the Arthur Kill, especially be-
tween Chelsea, Tottenville and Perth
Amboy. They looted yachts, stripped
almost every Sailboat in those waters
of running gear and stole several small
craft. Finally the boatmen who had
suffered organized and insisted on ac-
ton by the authorities. They also did
some hunting themselves, with the re-
suit of landing several thieves in pris-
on.
Lately the robberies have begun
again. The village of ROSSTille, on the
Staten Island shore, has suffered the
most and several boats have been strip
ped, while others have been stolen in
tact. More than half a dozen small
fiat bottomed rowboats and a hand
some and valuable large Whitehall boat
have vanished.
The Whitehall boat is Is feet long,
painted white, with a green bottom, has
a black band below the gunwale and is
painted lavender inside. A sure means
of indentificatiOn lies in the fact that
she once was fitted with a centreboard,
and on lifting the bottom boards the
outlines of the centreboard trunk are
DDaFent.

FIRE FIGHTERS.

"Fire," to run half a dozen blocks. get
hold of a rope attached to an old-fash-
ioned engine and help drag it half a
mile and find a building half consumed
by fiames-if such could have witnessed
not improbable that he would have
wished to return to earth for the pur-
pose of again fighting his old enemy
with modern appliances
EXtinguishing fires, preventing con-
fiagrations and the saving of life and
property has grown to be business
since those days and invention has been
as active in connection with it as with
any other calling The erection of So
called hreproof buildings and the estab-
Ishment of waterworkS have served to
increase rather than to diminish the ne
cessity for practical, trained, efficient
men and improved methods and ma
chinery.
Every city of any Importance now has
waterworks and a paid corps of fire
men, trained to the service which they
are expected to perform. In no depart
ment OF municipal government, per-
maps, is the peoples money so wei,
spent.

DEAN BODLEY'S FAREWELL
His Friends Present Him With a
Gold Watch and Other Mementos

Saturday night at 8 o'clock the
friends of Dean Bodley presented him
with a gold watch and chain and a
pectoral cross. On the watch was en-
graved the quotation HE fed them
with a faithful and true heart and
ruled them prudently with all his
power"
Accompanying the gift was a silver
toilet set for Mrs. Bodley and the fol-
lowing letter:
Topeka, Kansas September 25. 1897
To the Reverend Harry Innis Bodley.
Beloved Pastor and Valued Friend:
AS expression, however made
quate, of our love and appreciation Of
yourself as pastor, adviser and friend
and of the qualities of head and heart
which have enabled you to come so
near to the ideal as a parish priest, and
which have entrenched you so firmly
in the affections of your people; we
ask you to accept this watch and chain
and cross and to bear them ever near
your heart as a memorial of the un-
dying affection of your western friends
and pariShioners. We also desire to
offer to Mrs. Bodley a token of our
esteem and appreciation of her as a
woman, as wife and mother; and as
one whose first care has ever been to
abet the unfiinching efforts of her
husband, to guide the flock committed
to his care, wisely and we'll. Our hearts
have been with you both in the Sor-
rows well as in the joys of your
brief life in our midst. We are conf
dent that you are going to friends of
greater usefulness and to positions in
which your ability and spirituality will
advance the church far more appre-
ciably than could have been possible
had it been Gods will that you should
remain longer with US. Our prayers
and best wishes will follow YOU
Throughout life's short journey, and il
will be our earnest petition that, in the
church Triumphant, you may meet
each and every one of the sheep to
whom you have here ministered SO
faithfully. Our love goes with Won
both. Adieu
Signed by the $50 donors of the gifts.

INDIAN BUCKS OBJEC T
To Their Girl Wives Being Car

Denver, Col, Sept. 2S.-A special to the
Republican from Pocatello, Idaho, says:
Two companies of United States cav
airy from the Boise barracks passed
through this city en- route for the Fort
Hall Indian agency at Rose Fork to
quen the anti-school riots there. About
a hundred of the young bucks have de-
termined that the girls shall not go to
school, and in this they are backed up
by the old SquawS, who are also very hos
tile to the idea of having their children
placed in school.
The trouble commenced about three

Perhaps the general public thinks too
little of the life the fireman leads and
the dangers to which he is exposed.
Only when some brave and faithful
man is crushed by a falling wall or
dashed to death in the discharge of his
duty do people stop for a moment and
exclaim: Poor fellow"
