SUPERINTENDENT MCNALL has issued
statement showing the results of his
work during 1897 He states that he
(l has materially reduced the fire IN
surance rates in the State by breaking
up the combine. (2) Has reduced
nearly 80 per cent, the number Of
Losses litIgated by companies. (3) Has
demonstrated the legal rights of the
department to supervMe the opera
tions Of insurance companies for the
benefit Of the people. (4) Has ma
terisllY increased the disbursements
to the city fire departments for their
relief f1pd. Tt is also brought out
that the Clarkson rating bureau is
getting the worst of it IN the courts
and that eighty.three cases against
insurance companies we're filed in the
state IN 1896, and but forty-four in
1897. HIS fight with the foreign
companies is reviewed. Reference
is made to the effort of the companies
to get protection in the court Of what
they termed their vested rights, prln-
cipsl among which was their immu-
nifty from supervision. He points to
the action Of a company which IL
stigated numberless suits to harass
the department and has now with
drawn from the state to escape from
the network Of litigation which it
has woven" The department has
promptly attended to the collection
and disbursement of the freman's
fund tax, and in addition has coll ected
$500 which should have been COL
lected by his predecessors.

Chance mention Of the rebel Gen.
Morgan's name recalled an interest

Anderson recently:
Net long before his capture a little
town in southern Ohio received word
that he had crossed the Ohio river,
and was raiding towns IN his north
ward march. Hastily men gathered
and went to meet him in the most
probable direction. In their absence
the wiley foe entered from an un-
expected quarter and took possession
of the town. Sternfaced men IN
single file looking from right to left
with lifted revolvers was not cheer
ing sight by any means, and women
and children hurrledly sought upper
stories, cellars and other places OF
refuge. The most commodious dwell
ing was selected for the Generals
accommodation. Orders were given
that supper must be in readiness in
half an hour. At that time house
wives roasted their own coffee, and
answer was made that the time was
far too short. Consultation with the
General resulted in an hour and a
half grant. Nimble feet and hands
lost no time in complying with the
demand, and a generous supply of
greenbacks (atoleD) was rendered as
acknowledgement of satisfaction CIV
en-. Refusal to accept was met with
an offer of the choicest horse in the
command This also was declined,
and the force departed without es-
peCial damage except al attempt to
burn the bridges behind them

contained deep dramatic plot which

A YEAR ago many criminal acts
were perpetrated throughout the
state, and the republican papers
stated that the election of the pso-

BILE for the lawlessness. Last fall the
state was redeemed" but similar
crimes are still committed. Our re-
publican friends in telling of them
however neglect to connect them with
4hs successful political party. They
twers very unfair last year, but should
be this. Kansas has less criminals in
proportion to its population than any
other state. So that our peculiar

County Superintendent in at
tendence at the recent session of the
state teachers association made state
ments regarding the new text books
Superintendent Tsdlock Of this county
said: "All the districts in our county
but one use the new books. At first
they were criticised to a considerable
extent, but as the teachers became
more familiar with the books COM
plants are heard less frequently.
The old books, which were displaced,
were the poorest ones published, so it
is natural that any change would
bring a more satisfactory condition.
Some books are criticised q great
deal. The binding aud mechanical
work on some of the readers is not
good at all, although many of them
we're fairly satisfactory. There is a
disposition among the teachers to
write the publishers with reference
to defects IN books. They receive
courteous replys indicating that a
desire on their part to perfect the
books and weed out the weak points"
