Republicans Befrlend Insurance Conn
DanleS.

panles.
The Republican friendship for the in
surance corporations has not developed
In day. The leaders have been inti-
mately connected with the affairs Of In
surance companies ever since the ad-
mission of the State. A little history
in connection with this is given in let
ter recently written by d. o. McCray to
Col. ID. r. Anthony. In this letter Nc
Cray calls attention to the fact that Mr.
McNall Is not the first Insurance Super
intendent who has appointed examiners
to investigate the condition of the COM
panies which have been admitted to do
business in this State. Attention Is also
called to the fact that no examiners
were appointed during the Morrill, ad-
ministration, and that this was the case
because of the friendship Of Mr.. Morrill,
and Superintendent George T. Anthony
for the insurance companies This
friendship on the Governors part was
largely due to the fact that for twenty
five years he had borrowed money from
insurance companies at a low rate of
interest and loaned it to farmers of
northeastern Kansas at a higher rate,
simply guaranteeing the interest. In
this way he made most Of his money,
and he was therefore naturally inclined
to be friendly to those corporations.
Mr.. McCray also says that early in the
campaign Of 1896 Billy Edwards was
sent to New York to appeal to those
companies for funds for the Republican
campaign. He adds that an official Of
All insurance company informed him,
personally, that he was requested to
put up $3.50 for a general pool for Re
publicans to use in Kansas. This Off
cial said that $4,000 was thus raised
from insurance companies and turned
over to the Kansas collector. McCray
adds that this information Is probably
not in the nature Of news to Col. An
thony, in view Of the fact that nothing
but a knowledge Of this contribution
could be a sufficient incentive for Re-
publican papers to defend the insurance
companies and denOunce Superintend-
ent who insists upon the enforcement
of the laws Of the State and makes the
companies pay their honest losses. The
most interesting feature OF McCray's
letter is a statement that ex-Chief JUS
tice Horton is now in the East and an
intimation that he bears a commission
from Cy Leland and Mort Albaugh
which authorizes him to collect cam
paign funds in the name of the Repub-
lican State committee for its use in wip-
ing out what they are pleased to call
McNalllsm. Mr.. McCray thinks that
Judge Horton is we'll qualified for this
place, as he is always equal to the emer-
genCy. In proof Of this, his action in
an emergency is cited. It is stated that
when the legislative steering committee
was preparing the case to submit to the
Supreme court by which to settle the
Dunsmore House trouble, Chief Justice
Horton, who was then on the bench,
assisted in preparing the case.

Illuminated BUOys.

Another form. of beacon for mariners
Of smaller dimensions, but hardly less
important, is the illuminated buoy.
These floating lamp holders, placed in
an estuary where the available channel
is often only narrow one, bounded by
mud Or sand banks only few feet below
the surface of the water, are Invaluable
to shipping, Hitherto the illuminant
chiefly employed has been compressed
gas, necessitating high pressure reser-
voir and COMPRISING machinery.
MIR. Wigham, whose name has long
been known in connection with light
house apparatus, has introduced min
eral oil lamp which can be fitted to
any existing buoy and will burn for a
long period at very small cost. The
maintenance of one form Of lamp can
be kept up at a cost Of one penny for "a
hours, and as no COMPRISING machinery
is required this is the only expense
plus the original cost of the lamp. The
approach to port-such as that of Liv-
erpool, for instance, where a ship has
to enter through long avenue of buoys
could by this invention be almost az
we'll lighted as city street.-Cham-

Mice of All CO1OrS.

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew
eral hundred mice competed for gold
medals, champion cups and various 9TH
er prizes. These little creatures are not
the ordinary everyday mice which scare
the cook and drive the mistress of the
house to take refuge on chair They
are we'll bred mice that expected to be
petted and caressed and treated as ten
derly as pet cat or dog.
By careful breeding they have de-
veloped great variety in coloring and
sometimes in shape. One very choice
style of animal, called the spiny mouse,
has row of bristling hair for a spinal
ornament and is a very cute miniature
reproduction of a poroupine. The ia
miliar white mice 80 often seen for sale
on the streets here have been bred with
black eyes instead Of red ones. It has
taken several years to produce these re-
suits, but the society now claims to be
able to furnish mice in 10 or ID differ.
ent shades. To any one who is able to
overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at any
time, but when they play around in
suits Of chocolate, sable, fawn, jet
black, tortoise or golden agouti they be-
come perfectly fascinating.
AS in the case of all fads of this kind,
the prices brought by these little pets
are extremely steep Fifteen dollars or
$40 is not large price to pay for a
we'll bred mouse, and some of them
have been sold for as high as $25

MEN OF GENIUS.

Nature Likes Them Not and Invari-
ably brushes the Breed.
Through all time men of genius have
scoffed at and have ridiculed the at.
tempts Of purse proud old "richesse"
to create superior orders of manhood.
Nor is this a matter for wonder. They
were and are ridiculous. Yet these at
tempts are repeated every hour. Con-
sidering them one would suppose that
wealth, titles, dignities, are talismans
which insure virtue and honor and per-
sonal worth and beauty in those to
whom they descend Talismans are
ridiculous, and so are titles
Nobility is of blood and not of gar
tiers, royal sponsors and christening
robes. Pedigrees portraits and family
history when truthful tell US great
deal about the nobility of race. Titles,
quarterings and patents are worthless,
and the production of great genius is
in general as bad sign as the produo-
tion Of great prohigate. Races that
produce geniuses should be avoided.
The best is the second best-the normal.
Genius as some one Victor Hugo, I
think) has finely said, is promontory
stretching out into the ocean of the in
finite. Look for the descendants Of
Shakespeare, Bacon, Macaulay, We'll
lington, Nelson, Gibbon, Swift, Vol
taire, Carlyle, Bonaparte, Goldsmith,
Spencer, Milton, Crom we'll, Disraeli-
to take few names at random-and
you will find that they are not, for
the genius is always a transgressor of
the norm ala 'sport." He is never
symmetrical. Such one nature likes
not, and she makes provision for the ex-
tinct;on Of his race. -Humanitarian.

Remarkable Tameness of Animals In

Remarkable Tameness Of Animals In
thp Yellowstone Park.
The slaughter of birds has almost en-
tirely removed one of the delightful ac-
compartments Of life in the rural east
the music Of the feathered songstere.
Apropos of this, it may be said that one
Of the most pleasant features of the drive
through the Yellowstone National park
is the apparent intimacy between man
and the animal and bird life in the
park. Thanks to the wise and stringent
regulations, no shooting is allowed with
in it's boundaries. ii
''The result says an English tour
list, sis positively charming. Hundreds
of little chipmunks, with their gaudy
striped backs, scampered impudently
about or peered at the passing coach
from the roadside. The squirrel did not
bolt for the nearest tree, but nodded
welcome. All bird life treated as like
wise. Even the lordly eagle lowered
near, and the wild turkey stalked un-
concernedly through the rank grass We
were fortunate enough to see a fne
specimen of the wolf tribe. He stood, a
beautiful creature, and watched US out
Of sight, showing only curiosity, not
fear. Another time were perceived doe
and fawn grazing by the road Not IN
til we were within a few feet did they
seek the shelter of the woods, yet not
to fly. They simply moved aside. Here
at least mankind was regarded as a
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was brown
bear. He turned tail at the sight of a
coaching party, yet it was quite a COM
mon thing for bears to approach close
to the hotels at evening to feed on the
refuse thrown out It was an after din
ner relaxation for the guests to watch
them feeding. They munched and dis
puted the choicest morsels, for the most
part indifferent to the company. Only
when we became inquisitive and ap-
preached too near did they retire, and
these animals were perfectly free and
unfettered in their movements. It may
read like fairy tale, but it is solid
fact. Troy Times.

A Warm ENGLAND.

The extremes of outdoor temperature
in England vary N ore than 1913 degrees
The greatest heat probably on record
was registered in the valley of the
Midway on July 90, 1868, when the
thermometer at Tonbridge stood in the
shade at 1909 degrees F. Eleven years
later, in December, 1879, 55 degrees of
frost were recorded at Blackadder, in
Berwickshire-i. g., % degrees below
zero F.. More remarka BILE, however,
than the heat in summer were the hot
winters of 1748 and / 857 and the warm
Januarys of 1877, 1884 and 1898. -

Not ALWAYS Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as the men. The womb is stu
ated back of and very close to the blad-
der, and for that reason any distress, dis
ease or INCONVENIENCE manifested in the
kidneys, back or urinary passage is often,
by mistake. attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside for
"A hours; sediment or settling is evi-
dence that your kidneys need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the
back, pass water too frequently or scanty
supply, with smarting or burning these
are also convincing proofs of kidney
trouble. If you have doctored without
