Mutual-MutuaIity.

A MUTUAL life Insurance com pany
is one in which there are no stock
holders to cat up the profits. CJnse-
quently, in d mutual company all the
profits of the business are divided
among the policy holders. This makes
it cheaper to insure in a mutual COM
pany than in a stock company, though
both charge identicajly the same rate.
The Equita BILE, AItna, Travellers, Ger
mania and other stock companies turn
large part of. their profits into the
pockets of the stockholders. Conse-
quently, tt cir dividends can not be as
large as those of THE MUTUAL LIFE
OF NEW YORK, every dollar of whose
profits is turned over to the policy hold
ers.
The MUTUAL LIFE is the oldest
company iu the United States and the
largest and strongest on earth. Its
dividends to policy holders have never
been equalled by any other company.
1t is the only company in eXis' epce that
has paid 5000 on 81 900 policy or
$50, 600 on $4,000 policy. This it has
done in every year for the past twenty
years and is still doing on old policies
maturing.

Must DemOnetize Gold.

Mrs. Lewis w. Anderson, the wife of
Tacoma machinist, who went to KlOp-
dixie to seek his fortune, shss received
a letter from him, in which lie says
gold is as free as water there, and that
the immense yield in three years will
cause Wall street to seek to demonetize
the yellow metal. Mr.. Anderson SAYS,
in part:
1T is lucky thing I came. If you
will just be brave we will have all the
money in year we and our. precious
children will want in two hfetimes. I
have been here little more than two
months and have already secured a
quarter interest in q claim for which I
have been offered S26, 600, but out of
which expect to make as my part
more than 800, 900 in the next year.
This for US, you know, is q big thing,
and yet there are dozens of men who
are making ten times as much. When
[ arrived my money had almost given
out.
II had only s37, so I worked ten
days at saving lumber at S15 per day
ever been heard of in the world.
Money, that is, gold dust, is almost as
plentiful as water. There are many
hsrdships to be endured, but expect
to return to Tacoma next year, safe
and sound, with lots of money. Tell
Henry that we will have to change our
politics, because the Klondike will kill
Bryan aud the silver question, and the
money power of Wall street will try
to demonetize gold. The gold that will
come out of here inside of two or three
years will make Wall street more anx.
iOus to demOne tie gold that it ever
was to demonetiZe silver. Be sure and
tell our friends to come up as early as
possible. Come via Dyea, but would
not advise them to come later than
September 15. Tell Mr.. M. to sell out
his grocery store at any price and

"A Fight Occurred Between
Miners and Bosses.
MORE TROUBLE AHEAD.
The Pittsburg District Miners Did Not
March This Morning, but are
Awaiting Decision Of the Injunc-
tiOn Case Against the Miners.

HAzELTON, Pa, August 14.-At the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Honey Brook
colliery this morning a sharp conflict
occurred and blood flowed freely. The
| fight was between the striking miners
and Superintendent Conner Jones and
his assistants. Jones Is said to be a
tyrant and trouble has been brewing
for some time. The pit drivers say
| they are compelled to work over time
daily for which they get no pay. A
crowd of strikers met two drivers re-
turning to the pit this morning and
they stopped them and were trying to
induce them to join the ranks of the
strikers when Jones ran up with a club.
He also called on the company men for
the first blow. He was knocked down by
the strikers and kicked. His assis-
tants fred a volley of stones into the
strikers which was returned. Levi
Walsh, mine boss, was struck on the
head and badly cut. The coal and
iron police have been called out. The
men disappeared, but the trouble is
not over.
NEVADA, Mo-, August 1.-THE Ver-

PITTsBURG, August 14.-This morn
ing for the first time since the camp of
the strikers at DeArmitt's mines has
been established the customary march
was not made. A house to house can
vass was made by DeArmitt's men last
night in the Italian settlement. The
miners promised the strikers they
would not march this morning, but un
der the guard of several deputies one
hundred aliens left their cabins at five |
o'clock, every one armed with a dirk
which they did not conceal. There |
will be no more marches until injunc-
ion hearing in court Monday. If the
Injunction is made permanent there
will undoubtedly be trouble.

valuable partS OF the caroasses OF food animals,
How greatly the canning Of fruits and vege-
tables and the transportation from the South to
the North by railroads and steamers OF fish and
OF early garden produce have added to the sup

Our poorest citizens have at oil seasons, at prices

not have procured a century ago at any cost.
Nor have VIC by any means reached tho limits
Of our progress in this direction. We have
pretty nearly glutted the worlds markets with
staples like wheat, Indian corn, beef. and pork,
and our aRriculturists will be compelled, in their
own defence. to devote themselves to the finer
kinds of garden and dollhouse products. Cali
fornia has made a wonderful advance In the busi-
ness OF raising peaches, pears, and grapes, and
the oranges OF Florida are superior to those Of
Sicily and OF Portugal. What these two States
have done the rest can do, each according to Its
special soil and climate. and, as tomatoes,
peas. aud beans have become, all the year
