Robbery of the LewisburG Postofce.
Early Monday morning of this week
our usually quiet community was
startled by the discovery that the post
office here had been entered the night
before and robbed. An entrance had
been effected through window. 1t
was discovered that the safe in which
The money and stamps were kept had
been blown open and robbed of about
$3.50 in money and stamps. The door
was blown entirely off and was found
lying i'm the floor some feet away. A
registered letter containing 500 and
directed to the Bank of Greenbrier was
found lying in the floor. The clock in
the office showed l.3O a. m, and 1t IS
supposed that it was stopped at that
honr by the conclusion produced by the
explosion of the powder with which the
safe was blown open. Several parties
residing in the vicinity of the Office
were awaked by the report, but hearing
nothing further took no notice OF the
occurrence. There is 80 far no clue at
all to the thieves. Judge McWhorter 8
Office on the opposite side Of the street
was also entered the same night, but

The first evening was mostly monopo-

fear that the second nights program

somewhat dull and spiritless. In this

Submitted to Congress.
WASHINGTON. June S.-Secretary
Gage is preparing financial measure
to be submitted to congress next win
ter. In pursuance Of this plan he has
sent out letter 10 200 leading bank.
ers and merchants inviting sugges-
tions for reforming the currency.
In outline the scheme will embrace
the gradual retirement Of the
greenbacks and the substitution OF
national bank notes therefor; allowing
national banks TO issue to the full
limit, instead Of 80 per cent as
now; reducing the tax on ma
tional bank circulation from one per
cent. TO one-fourth Of one per cent,
and limiting the denominations OF
bank notes and all other paper money
to SO, and substituting silver for all
below $40. There probably will be a
provision for branch banks, and there
is suggestion that state and munic.
pal bonds may be used as basis for
not to exceed 80 per cent. Of the note
circulation. Secretary Gage has, in
fact. already commenced to carry out
his scheme for retiring greenbacks, as
far as possible under the present law,
by locking up in the treasury green
backs and treasury notes These
classes of notes have greatly increased
since March !, and on June there was
held in the treasury of both classes
about $4,000, 900.

KANSAS INSURANCE.


Interesting Facts and Figures from the An
nual Report Of Superintendent McNali.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 3.-State Super
intendent Of Insurance McNall has
completed his annual report, the 27th
OF the insurance department. In his
letter Of transmittal to the governor,
after devoting three pages to fraudu-
lent secret beneficiary societies that
try to get into the state, TO the insur-
ance laws and to the 6remen's relief
fund, he says:
There were engaged In the business Of fire
insurance In this state in the year 1895 ten mu-
tual companies organized under the laws Of
this state. During the year they insured prop
erty Of the value Of s4,3e2s5l 7s Their total
income for the year was s83, 767 03 They paid
losses In the sum Of s45, 164W, and December
81, 1896, they had lS.734 members There were
% fire insurance companies Of other states and
countries doing business In Kansas in 1895
They insured property In this state in the sum
OF sli7. .8O9 I7l.40, received premiums In the sum
OF si5A l768 u and paid losses in the sum OF
0O,91S1.
There was one domestic life insurance COM
pany doing business In this state In 1896 the
Kansas Mutual Life Insurance Co The insur-
ance written In this state amounted TO A51,-
1902, premiums received amounted to sl5i,-
35307 and the losses paid during the year
amounted TO s5S,5O0 The amount Of insurance
In force December 81, 1895 was 10, ,2s5, ,s7495
There are q foreign life insurance companies
1ntp bIp in ha M Tha
written amounted to IS. .973 s.; they collect
ed premiums In the sum Of Il sl,29S,2ll.22, and
their losses paid during the year amounted to
S34Q90H H. The amount Of insurance in force
December 3d. 1896 was $50 1873 01D7s
During the 20 wears that this state has had an
insurance department the foreign life, accident
and Are insurance companies have taken out
TO the state In premiums the vast sum Of 3D.
332, ,667.5 During the same time they have
paid back in losses to the people Of this state the
sum of s2O 6l4.4l653 The argument Is made by
insurance people that some portion of this vast
difference Is expenses This is true A portion
of the same was usei In paying salaries Of
presidents Of companies. One received at one
time 100000 per annun, and one Of them at
this time is receiving 1900 per annum.
Certain foreign insurance companies have
been transacting business in Kansas by
permission Of the state They have no re-
gard for the laws Of this state, or any other,
when ne same comes in contract with
their financial interests. Their presidents,
attorneys and general agents advise the viola
ton Of law as to doing business in this state
without authority. The sooner this class OF
companies is banished permanently from the
state the better 1t will be for the people Of Kan

MORTALITY AMONG HOGS.
Cholera Prevailing In Iowa at an Alarming
Extent.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, June S,-The
packing-house at this place has found
much difficulty in securing the desired
number of hogs for slaughtering pur-
poses. A resort has been made to the
Dakota markets and even then the
killing is only $500 day. The cause
of this shortage is cholera The dis
ease prevailed to an alarming ex-
tent during the fall and early winter
months. The exact loss to the farmers
will never be known, but Director Sage,
of the weather and crop bureau, has
been gathering valuable statistics. He
sent out requests that the assessors
take figures and the returns are in
from 81 counties. In these the number
lost is given at sol 1000 head. If that
proportion Of loss obtained throughout
the state the number will reach 1885,.

WASHINGTON, June 3.--The objections

Catholic Church Dedicated.

ST. CHARLES, Mo-, June 3.-The In
maculate Conception church at Dar-
denne was dedicated with pomp and
ceremony yesterday in the presence Of
thousands of visitors. The new church
is probably one of the handsomest in
st. Charles county and was built at a
cost of $4,000. The congregation Of
the Dardenne church consists Of about
so families, and the undertaking was a
huge one. The members did all the
hauling, furnished the rock and put in
over 500 days hard work, thus greatly
reducing the cost of the structure.

Joseph W. Bailey, OF Texas, the house
leader of the democracy, has come out
fatty for the denomination OF William
Jennings Bryan for president in 1900.
at seems to be the almost unani-
nous opinion Of the democrats with
whom have been brought in contact,
personally and otherwise" said Mr..
Bailey, that the democratic party
should commit itself unreservedly to
the readoption of the Chicago platform
Of 1896. The almost universal desire
appears to be to add nothing to and
abstract nothing from that platform,
but to accept it without qualification
or reservation as the principles @. he
democratic party for 1900. 1t will be
impossible to disassociate Mr.. Bryan
from that platform"

what the committee will do, but how

have already done.
