COME BACK AT M'NALL
General Denial BY Insurance Agent
That Rates are Reduced.

Much has been said OF late about the
Insurance rates being reduced in Kan
sas under Webb McNalls administration,
and that McNau IS q bigger man than
i1eedy. all on account Of his having, as
his hackers claim, made reductions in in
s,1rance rates. The local Fusion commit
tee have been talking OF the great things
NcNaH has done. and Of the money saved
to the insured. A reporter for the Eagle
called upon some OF the insurance agents
~ the city 20 learn the truth Of this
boast as applied 10 Wichita
The unheSitating and uniform answer
was that there has been no reduction in
the rates charged for insurance. Ger
taanly the claims inside for McNall do
rot apply 90 this community. The much
talked about Garrison rate book viii be

STANLEY'S MONDAY MEETING
Wichita" the subject of His Speech
at the Crawford.

Next Monday evening. at the opera
house, W. z. Stanley will make a nom
partisan speech to the people Of Wichita
on Wichita" Stanley has made the
most wonderful campaign ever made in
Kansas. This is admitted on all Sides.
No man has ever covered the state so
completely. and no orator has met such
warm response from the people. He is
coming back to his home people next
Monday and will here give a. talk to the
people of his home city who so rejoiced
upon his nomination in June and who
next Tuesday viii lead the chorus in
jubilee in Kansas next Wednesday over
his election.
Always magnetic, and more so on the
subject of his home town than on any
thing else, Stanley's meeting at the op-
era house next Monday evening will be
an interesting and historical occasion.

sss is frivolous. Ny relation to the can
vass has been wholly OF my own making.
The state COMMITTEES. so far as know. has
done nothing to prevent my participation,
nor could they have excluded me had they
been so disposed. I have had invitations
from each congressional district and could
have held my own meetings IN every i'm
portant town In the state, and the pretenee
that could not speak in Topeka without
the consent Of the state central commit
tee is roo absurd for denial TO anyone who
knew my relations with the Republicans Of
Shawnee county. The facts are that
large number Of tyceun engagements for
October were made by my manager in
Chicago during the summer. OF which
knew nothing TIL after the contracts had
been signed, and 1t was then too late 10
change the dates. My intention was TO

FUNNY REGISTRATION POINTS
One Voter Gave His Occupation as
"InyaIiI."

One would imagine that such things as
registration books would be about as 2rosy
as Chinese law. On the contrary. they are
occasionally very interesting. especially to
women who sometimes have curiosity 70
know how old certain of their friends are.
At this election, however. women were not
permitted TO register. Still few interest
ing items crept in the books For instance,
in looking over the list of occupations, one
man said his was anything" two others
acknowledged to being '1oafers;" one was
an invalid 'and stih another followed
the delightful occupation of wet goods"
A 23-year-o,d boy who had retired" and
a 37-year-old elevator boy" are also
among the oddities. The two oldest men
registered are B. Corwin. IS. and W. NJ.
Green. o. They both walked up the two
fights of stairs to the city clerks office
and had their names put on the rolls

HIS CLEAN WINNING CANVAS
James Mccormick and His Friends
See Certain Victory.

Last evening James Mccormick, candi-
date for commissioner in the west district
was in Wichita. He is on the wind-up Of
his canvass, and a better one Was never
made in Sedgwick county. He has trav-
eled every day and a part of every night
He has made new acquaintances; he has
renewed old ones, and his host OF friends
have become enthusiastic to the point that
they will not only vote for him, but are
working for him.
Mccormick is clean. thrifty. conscien-
tious He believes honestly that he will
be elected, and SO do the men over in that
district who have watched election results
for year. His canvass has been manly and
straightforward. The opposition TO him
has done nothing but explain its own acts

ton IN insurance rates in two years.
The Clarkson rate book Is, IN a sense,
used Insurance men know their bust
ness They know what it costs TO carry
risk. and they charge that sum The
Insurance administration of McNall has
had no effect whatever on Insurance
rates.
George E. Campbell: There has been no
change in insurance rates in two years.
That is. no change in the basis of insur-
ance rates. McNan has not made so
careful an administration OF the insur-
ance department as his predecessor. the
late George 7. Anthony. He has been ar
bitrary and unreasonable
Thomas & Co.: Insurance rates are just
what they would be If the Clarkson rate
book were being used
How is that?
Well, that is true. Insurance COM
panies could not do business unless there
was some uniformity as to rates. A
dozen insurance companies could not do
business If one were TO do business at a
lower rate. Competition must lead to
uniformity. All the Clarkson rate book
would do is done now. Mr.. McNan, nor
any man has or can prevent this result.
r. V. Hewlett: Mr.. McNall has had
nothing to do with the cost of carrying
insurance. Dwelling house insurance is
the same. Other insurance varies with
the hazard The insurance department
has had no influence in the matter.
II. H. Dewey: The only influence Mr..
McNall has had has been to annoy che
business of insurance agents. Rates are
the same they have been for twenty
years. They vary under peculiar cir
cunstances. The hazard may be greater
or less and the rate thus varies accord
ingly., McNall seems to be more noted
for sending out road agents to charge
companies exorbitant fees for examina-
ton than anything else. Think of his
agents charging fifty dollars day for
the examination of the assets of COM
panies.
J. T. Dudlum was out Of town, but his
clerk, who has been in the Office two
years, comedies with other insurance
agencies here that the insurance depart
ment in Kansas has not reduced the cost
of insurance to the insured.

SAME STORY EVERYWHERE
Republican Speakers Get Big Audi
ences Every Where.

W. NJ. Glass and b l.. keenan, were
down to Mulvane Wednesday night and
spoke TO one of the largest crowds ever
gathered there to listen to political
speech. The opera house was damned with
those who could get in; others were turned
away Both gentlemen made stirring
speeches. which were enthusiastically re-
ceived and loudly app,auded.
The crowd out at this meeting is espe-
cially significant, as Sam Amidon spoke
there last week to an audience Of just
twelve voters few years ago It was
impossible TO get out a dozen men TO listen
to Republican orator, but now the tables
seem to be turned

ell in the settlement OF the estates OF David
Kidd and Mary Ann Roe, who lived at tho Kidd

Cyrus u. Fowler of Walden showed that the ap.
praisors had found money In every conceivable
place in tho housc-in the attic, in trunks, in
milk cans, in pocketbooks. drawers, purses.
dress pockets. tool chests, envelopes, and every.
where else almost except in stoves and ovens.
Four hundred and seventy five dollars worth Of
gold was found scattered about tho house after
Kidd's death, and although Miss Roe lived
there and had some funds 1t was left to tho Sur.
rogato to determine TO whom tho gold should
go. The other money found was divided be-
tween, tho Kidd and Roe estates. and the gold
caused the dispute. In his testimony Cyrus IL.

RICHMOND. Va, March lon last Friday
afternoon the Hon. Joseph w. Bailey Of Texas,
in pursuance Of an invitation extended him by
tho Legislature, came to this city and deliv-
cred an address Of three hours duration in the
Academy Of Music on the issues of tho day.
Mr.. Bailey came down in n special car attend
cd by several Congressman, and the expense
attendant upon his trip amounted to about
$3.50. When the Senate met to-day Mr.. Elan
nagan OF Powhatan county. n Republican, Of
fcrod a resolution to the effect that 1t he tho
sense Of the body that mono Of the expenses at
tcndnnt upon Mr.. Bailcy's trip should be borne
by the State, and that payment Of such out
OF the public treasury should DO prohibited.
Mr.. Flanagan commended in support Of his
resolution that the Legislature has no right to
take money out OF the treasury to pay for bring
ing any man to Virginia to preach Democratic
doctrine. Mr.. Parr, Republican. and Mr.. Hale.

saying that Bailey should be willing to pay his

trine the dollars now in uso wero worth 200
cents each, and he was therefore receiving
$4,000 a year, whereas the Constitution pro-
vided that q Congressman should only be paid
