KIONDIKE RISKS.
An Insurance Policy That Was Promptly
Paid by the Pacific Mutual Company.

An Insurance Policy That Was Promptly
Paid by the Pacific Mutual Company.
The communication given below from
Mrs. Rooney, whose husband, Stephen
Rooney, died a few weeks ago in Alas
ka, requires no explanation:
Mr. Thomas Fox, Manager Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance Company, Sac
ramento, California-Dear Sir: l re-
ceived from you this day check for
| $3.50, in payment of a policy held by
my late husband, Stephen J. Rooney, in
your company Like many others, he
went to the Klondike to better his con-
dftion but sickness overcame him and
| he died on the 9TH of this month.
Proofs of death were furnished to your
| company on the 2Sth inst, and one
day thereafter, on the 29th inst, your
company sent it's check for the full
! amount of this policy. Such action is
commendable and adding greatly to the
high esteem in which | always held the
| Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany. Inasmuch as there may be in
surance companies that do not look
| favorably upon risks in the Klondike,
and as there may possibly be some that
would obstruct the payments of death
claims from that region, it is right for
me to point to your company with a
feeling of satisfaction and of pride, as
it is a home company. What the Pa
cific Mutual Life Insurance Company
has done for me and my family, it will
unquestionably do for others, and it
seems to me that it should be an honor
to be or to become a policy holder in
this company. Thanking you and your
company in behalf of myself and chill
dren, I am, respectfully yours,
MARY JOSEPHINE ROONEY.

BEATEN AND ROBBED
Madeira County Treasurer Maltreated
by Robbers

by Robbers
MADEIRA, CAL, May 25.-County Treas
urer Krohn was terribly beaten by rob-
bers at 1890 o'clock this morning and the
strong box of the county looted of its con-
tents by the robbers.
The Treasurer was found in an uncon-
scious condition in his office shortly after
midnight. About $3.50 pm. Treasurer
Krohn left home, telling his wife that he
was going to the office to work on the de-
linquent tax list. At midnight his wife
became uneasy and started for the office
On the way she met MIR. Tucker, the towii
Waterman, and together they proceeded to
the office. The front doors were locked
but the Waterman forced them. On the
floor at the door lay Krohn covered with
blood. unconscious and moaning. He had
been beaten about the face with "billy"
OF sand bag, but not fatally.
The marble floor of the office is marked
with trail of blood from the vault to the
front door, where the wounded Treasurer
evidently dragged himself on his hands
and knees. The safe was empty. About
$50 in silver and few gold pieces were
scattered on the floor. 1t was found that
the renr door had been forced open, and as
blood was found on the rear porch. 1t is
conjectured that the robbers fled by the
exit A broken pane was discovered In the
window separating the office from the
hall way. Tires stone drills were found
in the Office and evidently one of these
had beeen used to break the glass.
At about 11:30 o'clock last night Mr.
Tucker, from point in the vicinity of the
Treasurers office, heard what he thought
was tho breaking of glass. He made an
investigation but he discovered nothing
wrong.
Mrs. Krohn and Mr.. Tucker entered the
office shortly after r. By that time Mr.
Krone had partly revived and dragged
himself to the door.
Clews are very slight. In a semi-con-
scious moment Treasurer Krohn inquired,
Ibid you get them?" This would indicate
that two or more men were implicated
The men were seen riding the blind bag
gage as the II o'clock southbound train
pulled out. The booty secured was prob
ably only few hundred dollars, since the
taxes were turned over to the county Of
flcials on May /.

to walk to Sierra Leone. but had only gone
half mile when We met war boys, who
blocked the way. Rev. Mr.. Caine tried to
frighten them by firing q revolver over
their heads. but seeing they were deter

away and said he would not have any
body's blood on his hands. The war boyi
then sized the party, including Misses Hat
field, Archer and Kent (6chenick) stripped
them Of their clothing, dragged them back
to the mission house, in front Of which
the war boys cut down Rev. Mr.. Cain and
hacked him to death, and then treated Miss
Archer and Miss Kent (schenick) In The
same way. Miss Hatfield. who was very
Ill, were then thrown on barbed wire net
ting and finally her throat was cut. Mrs.
Cain escaped to the bush with native girl,
but the war boys went out seeking for them
and they were afterwards killed."

''Ths Americans are not going to step

Monroeism insofar as 1t relates to South
America, Is likely to be questioned anew,

BIRTHDAY DANQUETS
Serve 40 Occasions for Discussion of

LONDON, May 25.-In the newspapers
today there are several striking instances
of American and anti-Amer.can feeling.
While the majority of papers allude with
pleasure to the references to the Queen In
yasterdays celebrations In New York and
In the prayer Of the Chaplain Of the Senate,
the Morning Post has allowed to appear in
It's columns a violent denunclation of Amer
lea from the Hon. Nrsk!new, a brother of
Baron Erskincw. He alludos to "Ameri-
cas- present immoral warfare against
SPAIN" and asserts that the sentiment Of
the country which is worth having is for
Spain.
On the other hand the st. James Ga
.ctte. which has hitherto been bitterly
anti-Amerioan, seems to be becoming much
moro friendly. It says. regarding the dis
position to blanc America for tho slow
progress 81 the war: Sailors who know
the Pacific and the Caribbean seas are well
aware that this Is the csencc OF naval
war. Remember that Nelson found 1t diff
fictils to discover the Spanish feet some
whesc between jamaica and Cndix and
thsy' realize that this slow progression is
nAt interesting. But the fact that tho gum
lAk4s are around the sutlen Island means
