KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF
SECURITY.

The official report made of this So
ciety by direction of the auditor of
public accounts of the state of Ne
braska, is published on the fourth page
of this paper today.
Fraternal orders of the state of Kan
SaS are not compelled by statute law
to report to the superintendent of in
Surance of this state, but in most of the
states a report is necessary, and the
affairs of the society doing business in
those states are periodically examined
as are old line life insurance companies.
The knights and Ladies of Security
is a Topeka institution, established less
than six years ago. They have paid
between $40O 900 and 100000 death
claims in this short period, and at this
date have accumulated nearly 100000
reserve fund to protect the certificates
of it's members.
Its officers are Topeka people who
have the respect and confidence of the
community, and among the more than
Is, 900 members are upwards of 1900 of
the leading and professional men of the
city and their wives.
1t is a pleasure and somewhat of
matter of pride to point to two OF To-
peka's insurance companies as standing
in the front rank of the two systems of
protection to homes. The Knights and
Ladies of Security and the Kansas
Mutual Life Insurance cOmpany-the
one a fraternal order acknowledged by
all who have given the subject atten-
ton as having solved the problem OF
giving low rates and monthly payments
of a small amount based on experience
tables, and the other based on a legal
reserve old line plan which insures pay
ment of the claims of the insured.
Topeka can Wen be proud of its two
institutions which protects the home
the Knights and Ladies of Security
and the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance
company and happy is the family of
only ordinary means who holds a GER
tifcate in the one or a policy in the
other.

dry Work by New Crusade

New York, Jan. A-Mrs. Charlotte
Smith has jointed forces with Chuck
Connors, mayor of PelI street. to expeI
the Cinnamon from the washtub and
drive them from the ironing board.
Mr.. Connors is convinced by his knOwl-
edge of Chinatown that the Chinese are
not moral people, and therefore are not
to be trusted with the family washing.
His part in the combined agitation is to
prove by statistics that the Chinese are
not what they should be.
Mrs. Charlotte Smith said yesterday that
she will attend meeting today to deter
mine what action shall be taken in the
interest of morality to exclude the Chi
nese from the laundry. The plan now is
to attempt to take the Chinese out Of the
laundry trade, leaving the washing and
ironing to be done by white women.

GATES STILL CLOSED.
Striking Cotton Mill Employees are
Seeking Work Elsewhere.

Boston, Jan. A.-The second week of the
big cotton mill strike opened at the prin-
cipal centers with both sides apparently
as determined to hold out as at the in
auguration of the contest. No attempt
was made to open the gates of the big
corporation mills at New Bedford, Bidde-
ford or Lewiston.
At New Bedford and Biddeford the BUSH
ness men seem to be more anxious regard
ing the future than either the mill owners
or the operatives and many small dealers
are feeling the loss of trade severely.
Many operatives are leaving to seek en-
ployment in other mill centers.

Rule in the Postoffice.

Rule in the Postoface.
When Judge Guthrie takes charge OF
the postofice next week he will issue
an order requiring every employe in the
postoff1ee from Janitor up to give a
surety company bond.
Under the present arrangement only
the money order clerk and assistant
postmaster are required to give bonds
but Judge Guthrie says: Il have made
up my mind that all employees must
give bond. I want to be protected alb
sOlutely and I cannot afford to take
any chances whatever. I have already
communicated my wishes to the en-
pIoyes in the office and I have heard
from no one who objects to the ar
rangement. have made arrangements
whereby the bonds may be furnished at
the lowest possible premium and it will
not be a hardship for any one"
Judge Guthrie will also require larg-
er bonds from those who have hereto
fore been required to give them. A K
Rodgers as assistant postmaster will be
required to give a bond for SS,333 in
stead of $1,000, as is now the rule. Miss
Metcalf, the money order clerk viii be

coo instead of So 900. Superintendent of
Carriers Powell will give a bond for $3,-
600 and Night Waterman Benniield
will be required to indemnify the new
postmaster in the sum of 81, 600.

not yet fixed the amounts of the bonds
to be given by the other employees.

Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1898-02-24

THE three or four line paragraph the
GAZETTE contained a few weeks ago
protesting against the date that Chair
man Riddl' seems to have determined
on for holding q State convention has
brought to our ears many expressions
of appreciation In our opinion it lis
the worst mistake the committee has
ever made in Kansas. Taking the
whole State over it is probable that a
date could hardly have been selected
more nearly in the middle of wheat har-
vest than this. Thecounty conventions
to choose delegates, unless they are held
long, long before, will be poorly at
tended and the bone and sinew of the
party composed of the sturdy and in
dustriOus farmers will be absent from
both the county and State conventions.
The dry goods box politicians, the of
ice holders and police commissioners
of the cities will be moving spirits. The
party can i'll afford to have the impress
sion left that a machine is trying to
manipulate its conventions by fixing
such conditions that those from whom
its support and votes come, cannot have
full representation. There is much
dissatisfaction expressed with the date
and we believe it shOnldyet be changed.
