The Comptroller General has Just COM
pleted the compilation OF soma interest
ing figures as to the amount of business
done in fire and life insurance in the
State, which shows that while property
and life are protected, still the drain on
the OF the citizens is q large
one. Taking fire insurance, the statis-
tics show that there are sixty-four COM
panies doing business in the State which
have made reports. The insurance writ
tsn in the State during 1896 amounted to
$A,OS9,949; the premiums paid were
S646,472; the losses incurred S2S2, 657.
These figures show that fire insurance
business in the State is profitable to the
companies, as the premiums exceed the
losses by S363,sl5. In life insurance
there are forty-four companies doing
business in the State. The amount of
insurance written during 1896 was Sl7,-
125,S43 premiums received were $685.
l49, and losses were S5S9, 1878, leaving a
narrow margin Of profit of $3,776.

There seems to be no limit to the pos
sibilities Of modern ingenuity. Espe-
cially is this true of the manifold uses to
which ordinary paper is applied. Sew
eral years ago paper buckets startled the
old-fashloned people Of this country, but
more recently paper Undertaking has
bscome the fashion in certain quarters.
The latest addition to the paper industry
is the making of telegraph and telephone
poles. Such poles are in the market, and
are reported to be staunch and reliable,
resisting all weathers and safely bearing
their burdens for economical periods.

Our fellow townsmen, White g. White,
the Druggists, did not expect 80 soc' to
get favorable reports from applicants who
procured from them free samples of DR..
Hobbs S%paragus kidney Pills.
The tests made so far by the users of the
free samples, show that these remarkable
pills produce favorable results with a de-.
gree Of quickness heretofore unknown in
the treatment of Kidney, Bladder and
Blood diseases, and allied ailments.
Those who have used them have been
encouraged to perseyere with the treatment,
knowing that they could not expect the
five days treatment contained in the
sample box, Notwithstanding the remark
able results obtained so far, would effect a
complete cure. Kidney disease is of i'm
p%erceptibls and insidlous growth it takes
months to develop even the symptoms.
Reason and experience suggest that it
takes more than a few days to cure. For
tunately, DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills begin the good work of cure with the
first dose. The results are evident from
the beginning. The delightful effects of
the, @ Pills induce the patient to continue
their use until cured. They are easy to
take, easy TO buy, easy to get, and bounti-
full in good results.

Chokio, is small and prosperous
village located about fourteen miles
west of Morris on the Browns Valley
division of the Great Northern rail
road. in the midst of one of the most
fertile sections, not only of Stevens
county, but of all adjoining counties
It was in August, 1892, when moth
ing but a side track designated the
spot where Chokio now stands, that
j. Fl. McNally, now postmaster at
that place, foresaw the prospects of a
future town and erected the first
building, little over four years ago.
Mr.. McNally's building was immedi-
ately followed by the building of an
elevator, and from that time until the
present Chokio has made rapid
strides forward, SO rapid in fact that
she promises to outstrip all her sister
villages within her radius, and many
of double her age.
Her growth has been more notice
able in the last two years, when she
appeared to take on new impetus to
push forward. She has now twenty
eight places Of business, all in
thriving and prosperous condition
divided as follows: Three general
stores, hardware store, drug store,
meat market, harness shop, two liv-
cry stables, one millinery store, three
elevators, one -four exchange. one
bank, one lumber yard, two wood
yards, two blacksmith shops, two
restaurants, two hotels, one agricult-
ural implement house, one barber
shop, two churches, two saloons and
a depot. They also have two secret
societies, the Modern Woodman and
the Knights of Maccabees, both in a
Furnishing condition.
The soil of the surrounding country
is of a rich dark loan, which is of in
fertility and excels any
thing in the state for general faro
ing and stock raising. The forna-
ton of the soil is peculiar, inasmuch
as it retains moisture and will with
stand extreme drouth.
The village is surrounded by pros
porous and weIl-to-do farmers, as
we'll as inhabited with ambitious and
business men and citi-
zens The present population is
about $50. Incorporate proceedings
are being pushed this winter and it is
hoped and expected ere another
spring breaks forth on this industri-
Gus burg that it will be an incorpor-
ated city.
