SIMPSON AND THE DEMOCRATS.

The Washington Times, speaking of
the article by Jerry Simpson warning
the democrats in Ohio. in its closing
paragraph says:
During the present extra session of
congress Mr.. Simpson has won the
right to speak to the Ohio or the ma
tiOnal democracy, or to the nation, as
far as that goes. and to be listened to
with deep respect. With the single
exception of Mr.. Lewis of Washington.
Mr.. Simpson is the only member of
the suppressed house of representa-
tives having the courage and ability
stand up and measure swords with the
AutOcrat. Compared with the flock of
cowed, panic-stricken and leaderless
democrats who twice week envy his
pluck and American manhood, which
they have not the brains or spirit to
emulate, his course and record stand
out like a milliOn-candle-power cleo
trio light on a dark night in a swamp
full of alligators and bullfrogs.
"When the tale of disgrace is COM
pleted, and the American people look
for some shining exceptions to the rule
of infamy in the session which has
witnessed the deliberate and defiant
violation of the CONSTITUTE on by Thorn
as Bracket Reed and the supine sub
missi on of the membership to such an
outrage. the names of Jerry Simpson
of Kansas and James Hamilton Lewis
of Washington will be wreathed in
national laurels.

THE SHAWNEE COMPANY
Did More Insurance Business Than Any
Other Company.

| The decided stand taken by Insu.
rance Commissioner Webb McNall or
questions of insurance has made peo-
pie somewhat wary. They do not
know at what time the cOmmi ssiOneI
may swoop down and eXtinguish the
| light of the company in which they
| hold policies and neither do they
know where it is best to place their flu
ture business.
But during all this trouble and tur-
moil in insurance circles no one has
heard word against the Shawnee
Fire Insurance company, Topeka in
stitution backed and officered by To-
peka men. The people know that the
| vigilant commissioner has taken nc
action concerning this company, for
| he lets people know when he takes a
stand.
A Journal reporter who saw Com
missione. .,.oNall few days ago
found the question naturally arise:
What are you going to do about
the Shawnee Fire Insurance CO.? Will
you be after it next?''
"What is that you are saying?"
said he.
I'm what shape are the affairs of
the Shawnee Fire Insurance coz
said the reporter.
1.-The records show" said Commits
sioner McNall, clearing his throat,
that thShawnee Fire Insurance co.
did more business in Kansas in 1896
than any other company
''rhe gross premiums received
amounted to nearly $685. 900. The
largest amount received in Kansas by
any other company was $l44 900

perfectly safe?"
eyes 1 do" replied the commission
er. Besides it is a home company
and l like to see a home institution
prosper"
That is the universal verdict. Any
one who has ever done business with
the Shawnee knows that it is as safe as
the Bank of England. The company
pays it's losses and it always has the
money to do SO.
When Geo. T. Anthony was insur
ance agent, he looked into the affairs
of the Shawnee insurance and his
opinion is expressed in the following
letter written to an inquirer:
Topeka, Jan. 9, 1896.
Dear Sir: Answering yours 9th.
inst, l have to inform you that the
Shawnee Fire Insurance company has
been reorganized since l took this Of
ice, with o paid up cash capital Of
800, 900 ard is as good and reliable as
any company doing business in Kan
sas, or elsewhere, It's management
includes as many strong Capitalist and
business men as could be found in the
the same number in all the state.
Respectfully Yours.
Geo. Z. Anthony, Supt. ms.
To ]. n. Barnes, Esq. Blue Mound,
Kans.
The company still has it's Offices on
the second floor of the Bank of Tope-
ka building at Sixth and Topeka Ave
nues. J, w. Going, the secretary OF
the company is always sat home, - and
people who care to find out more about
this Kansas institution are always
given a cordial welcome.

SCHOOL TROUBLES.

The late legislature abolished the
OTerle school district it. No. l J, at
taching the portion in Ford county to
one of the Ford county districts, leav-
ing the portion in Edwards county
unorganized. Some of the citizens
of the unorganized territory
petitioned the county superinten-
| lent to form district including
all of the unorganiZed territory, except
y sections lying in the northeast cor
ner of rthis territory ON which the
school house and a part Of the town
of offerle is located, which he did.
The residents and owners OF the part
left out, filed an appeal from the acti on
of the county superintendent and the
matter came up for hearing Wednes-
day. w. N. Beezley appeared for the
| appeal and was seconded by Oscar Of
ferle. Ed Otss, D. d. Baxter and A. J..
Rapp. Mr.. Tassell appeared for the
district as asked for, and was second
ed by Peter Thauer.
Mr.. Tassell said that those organiz-
| ing the new district did not desire to
keep out the remaining territory, and
were willing that it should be annexed
to the district in the usual manner, as
soon as the organization was complete.
Those appealing contended that they
did not want to be placed in the posi-
tion of having to ask to come into the
district, but wanted the superintendent
to organize the whole territory. and
submitted petition to that effect.
This whole matter is the outgrowth
of ill feeling generated in the school
affairs of the old district The com
missioners deferred their decision "A
hours, and then sustained the superin-
tendent.

SPANS Note to Minister WOOdford

Spa1n's Note to Minister Woodford
Regarded as Confederate.
Washington, Oct. 2s-The event of
the day ut the state department was the
receipt of the lons-expected cablegram
from United States Minister Woodford
at Madrid transmitting the answer of
the Spanish governmental his repre-
sensations in the interest of peace in
Cuba. The correspondence will not be
made public before consideration of the
cabinet.
From unofficial information that has
reached certain administra ton officials
in advance of this message of Mr.. Wood
lords as to the nature of the Spanish
reply, it is evident that in neither Ian
guage nor subject matter is the COM
munication likely to be taken as often
slVe by our government. It may be, it
is true, regarded as insufficient to meet
the issue presented by Mr.. Woodford
IN his note, but officials of the state
department say that in view of what
has already been accomplished by the
new Spanish cabinet in reforming
abuses in Cuba, in removing Weyler
and in projecting what appears to be a
liberal measure of autonomy, our gov
eminent will certainly rest, at least un-
til congress assemblies, and afford the
new Spanish government a reasonable
time to carry out it's plans.

Law In That State Compels a WOmaR
to Support Her Husband.
Under the law of California a wife
can be- compelled to support her hus-
band, says the Boston Woman's Jour-
nal This point was esta blished re-
Gently by decision rendered by Justice
Temple. Of the supreme court. con-
CURED in by Justice Henshaw and Van
Fleet and Chief Justice Beatty. The
circumstances on which this decision
was made were peculiar.
In Los Angeles county there live an
aged couple named Livingston. The
wife, Mrs. Mary \. Livingston. has
reached the mature age of 70 years, and
her husband. Samuel W.. is even older
than his wife. In fact, he is so aged
as to be infirm and unable to support
himself. Some time ago the wife de-
serted her husband and he was left as
helpless as baby. In their more pros
porous days the wife always carried the
bankbook. and. furthermore, she had
money in her own right.
After the old woman deserted the old
man he sued her for maintenance. AMI
won the suit, the superior court of
Los Angeles county ordering Mrs. Liv-
ingston to pay her husband a monthly
allowance of $24 She at once trans
ferred all of her property to her daugh-
ter. so as to avoid the execution of the
order She was cited to appear and
show cause why she should not be pun
ished for contempt. The contempt
proceedings resulted in her being COM
mitted to prison until such time as
she would comply with the order of the
court. From that Judgment she ap-
pealed to the supreme court, and the
Judgment has been affirmed.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 2s.-Mob law was
severely condemned by Gov. Atkinson
in his message to the Georgia legis-

day. He advocates stringent legsIa-
ton against mobs and insists that.the
legislature pass law laying every
county wherein such 4 crime is commit
ted subject to large indemnity to the
relatives of the mob's victim. The gov
ernor is in favor of arming the prison.
ers and allowing them to protect them
selves from mobs.
