Carroll, Iowa, June 3, 1893.
JOHN A. MCCALL, President,
NETWORK LIFE INSURANCE Co.,
New York City.
DEAR SIR:-Mr. C. r. Graham, Jr.,
General Agent, called on me to-day and
presented a statement of options on my
Policy No. Ito, 914, which natures No.
vember 81, 1898.
| have decided to accept option M,
consisting of the entire cash value of
81, 754. so and discontinue the policy
| wish to state that am well pleased
with my settlement, as it exceeds my
expectations by nearly $4,000, having
furnished me safe, reliable insurance,
besides interest on my investment.
1t may possibly interest you to know
that this policy was the. means of my
engaging in a prosperous business. The
opportunity presented itself, and l was
enabled to grasp it by obtaining a loan
of 81, 200. 90 at 5 per cent In the short
space of time of two weeks, from your
Company; was not compelled to ask a
friend for the accommodation nor give
a mortgage, as policy was acceptable at
any bank-it was ''gilt edge. " / owe
my wealth to a NEw-YoRK LIFE pol
icy.
My advice to every one, especially to
young men--take out 81, 900 or 81, 900;
lay by the money you spend for drinks
cigars. etc. 1t is small sum each day.
Do as did, get a box with slot, drop
in your dimes, etc. each day; when pre-
MUM comes due-''lo and behold, "you
will have more than enough to meet
premiums
My relations with Company have al
ways been pleasant. Knowing that |
intend to re-insure, | have been solicit
ted by other companies represented to
be ''just as good as NEw-YoRK LIFE, -
but, as further evidence of my con.
fidence in your management, | assure
you nothing but a NETWORK LIFE
policy will do me again-which will be
this fall, when this policy natures.

CARD FROM PROF. HOWE.
Has Some Kind Words for Sup-
erintendent Cutting.

The following letter was written for
the Carson Appeal by H. II. Howe,
Principal of the Carson City School:
~ wish through your columns to say
a word regarding the work of Mr.. Cut
ting, our State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, during hiss torn OF Of
flee. / am not politician nor do wish
to speak as one, for consider the Of
fee of State Superintendent non-politi-
cal, the same as that of School Trustee.
GAS the Principal Of the Carson school
the work OF the State Superintendent g
Office falls directly under my notice, and
| must say in justice to Mr.. Cutting,
and without prejudice to any of his pre-
decessors, that he has accomplished
more for the betterment OF our schools,
and for the benefit OF our teachers, than
was accomplished during all of our pre-
vious history.
81 desire to call your attention to q
few of the things he has done for US.
His compilation Of the School Laws Is
in advance Of any compilation preced
ing 1t; he has prepared and published
the first course OF study'we have ever
had, although we have needed one for
many years. This course of study
which, in my estimation Is not to DO ex-
celled by the course OF study OF any
State in the Union, will, when 1t is pro-
perly introduced into our schools, be
of inestimable value to all the schools
of the State.
1.-THE new School Register prepared
by Mr.. Cutting, is far in advance OF the
old one which we used for many years,
and understand is much less expensive
TO the State. Mr.. Cutting has been the
first to supply the Trustees with RE
cord Book In which to keep the mi.
nutes of their meetings and . record OF
the bills they approve; 3 book which !
have no doubt has been very welcome to
the Trustees all over theState. Through
his efforts teachers are given half rates
on the railroads to go to and. from their
schools at any time during the year;
they are also given a rate Of one fare
for the round trip to any point In Cal
ifornia or to Ogden, Utah, for q vaca-
ton trip during the summer, or during
the holiday season. This is something
never heard Of before Mr.. Cutting went
into Office, and an advantage to the
teachers which may not last beyond his
term OF Office.
During his term Mr.. Cutting has
hold three OF the most successful and
best conducted Institutes ever held in
the State. He has been gentlemanly,
obliging, attentive to the duties of his
Office and very much alive to the inter-
ests of our schools; he is one of our own
boys, raised and educated in Nevada,
and for one take pride in the record
he has made"

MADISON, NoD., august ., 1880.
HON. II. III. BECK, Reno, Nevada.
DEAR SIR:--I have your letter OF the
lst inst. and in reply thereto desire to
say that would regard the retirement
of Senator Stewart from the Senate OF
the United States at this time as an ir-
reparable injury to the cause of blmet-
allism. His great ability and exper-
fence in the field of bimetallic discussion,
makes it absolutely essential that he
should DO returned. | know Of no man
whose defeat would be greater loss
than his. His loyalty to the cause OF
bimetallism, his great experience and
incorruptible character and opinions
make it absolutely necessary that he
should be retained in the Senate. OF
course | have no personal interest In
the matter. only speak what know
to be the truth and what all free silver
Senators feel. have been thrown very
closely in contact with him, as have
other bimetallic Senator's and we have
all learned to acknowledge his great
ability and craftsmanship and have all
profited by his experience and advice.
Very Respectfully Yours,

The Reno Journal is authority for
the statement that Congressman New
lands publicly declared on the streets
of Reno that under no circumstances
would he cross swords with Senator
Stewart for the Senatorship, and that
1t would be a calamity to the State and
the Nation to defeat Senator Stewart
at the present time, as he is recognized
as leader by the advocates of bimetal-
ism throughout the country.
If the above is correct, as we have no
reason to doubt, we are inclined to be-
lieve that Mr.. Newlands was thinking
more of the calamity to his own ambi-
tions in case he entered the fight and
lost After all, the Membership of
Congress is not position to quarrel
with and there is not much question
but he can have it again for the asking.
The Senatorial contest is much sim
plified by the withdrawal Of Mr.. New
lands, who was most disturbing fac
tor The oin5 other avowed candidate
in opposition to Mr.. Stewart is Hon.
B. F. Leete, whose aspirations are not
taken very seriously by the press of the
State.
There is one man, however, who is
very prominently mentioned as posi-
BILE candidate for Senatorial honors who
possesses qualifications which eminent
ly fit him for that high position, and
that is Hon. A. C. Cleveland OF this
county. He is a man OF integrity and
sound judgement, a man of experience
In legislative halls, man who has al
ways fought on the side of the people
against monopoly and no man knows
better the needs of the people OF this
State. For 20 years he has made his
home in this county, where by the ex-
penditure of much money and pains and
by careful personal attention he has
developed the finest stock ranch in
Nevada. His views on the silver ques.
ton, which is the question OF most vital
Importance to this State at the present
time, he made clear. by his action in
withdrawing from the Republican Ma
tional Convention two years ago.
While Mr.. Cleveland is prominently
mentioned as an aspirant for Senator
ial honors, he has not yet declared him
self in the race, but II he should, we
venture the opinion that Mr.. Stewart
will find himself confronted by most
formidable antagonist.

While few feel that Uncle Sam
should have continued to chastise Spain
until she begged on her knees for mer-
oy, the vast majority of the American
people have gladly welcomed peace.
We have won the right to cleanse the
sinking cesspool of cruelty, corruption
and disease which has so long existed
on our threshold and that was what we
fought for. The question of territorial
agrandizement and the future govern
ment of the Philippines can be safely
left to commission and the sober sec

NOW WI TING FAN

The Chinaman is peculiar, whether It
comes to tricking his hand in an Amer
lean game of poker or sailing around
the world with his coffin as a regular
portion Of his baggage. His seeming
innocence is misleading and his nom
combative guilelessness is not to be de-
pended upon. He lacks personality,
but who wouldn't so lack if indiscrim-
jnately mixed up with four hundred
millions of other fellows all resembling
each other as closely as two coons.
Their representative men are always

Mr.. WI Ting Fan, the Chinese min
lister at Washington, made five min
utes' speech at the dinner of Gridiron

which astonished most of the guests.
1t is said to have been a delightfully."- in
teresting speech, quite the equal in wit
and sense of any speech made through
an evening of speeches unusually brill
liant. His English was without accent
and it flowed from his tongue as if 1T
were the only language he ever used
A story has been told since the dinner
about the experience Of an army officer
at Fort Myer, who did not know that
Mr.. WI speaks English quite as well
as they do at West Point. The minis
ter had been looking at the Cossack
drill at Fort Myer. After the drill there
was a luncheon with punch. Colonel
Sumner, meeting the minister at the
punch bowl, and hearing him say that
the punch was good, undertook to tell
him what it was made of. He employ
ed the choicest pigeon English at his
command. The minister listened at
tentively and seriously. When the col
pnel had completed his pigeon explana-
ton, the minister smiled at him, held
out his glass with a wink toward the
bowl, and then asked, in the best of
English, Fill EN- up again, colonel?"

MONEY. WHISKY AND POKER.

It has long been limited that courts
and juries have been commercially in
huenced in finding verdicts. The sec
rotary Of the state board of agriculture
Of Missouri only last week gave 1t out
rs his opinion that Kansas City juries
returned commercial verdicts. 1t is
PERTAIN that Kansas juries in the trial
of jointists are prone to whisky YER
diets. Especially is this true Of Topeka
juries, much to the scandal of the good
people of the state. Money and whisky
unquestionably have their influence.
the one in Kansas City and the other
in Topeka, not to mention other places.
But the courts OF Michigan will be ask
ed to decide whether a jury can be in
huenced by jokes. An hand verdict
by the reader of current jokes would be
that jury could be prejudiced. How
ever, Marshall z. Wilder is acknowledg-
ed to be funny. and as he figures in the
Michigan case, the hurriedly arrived at
conclusion is subject TO amendment or
reversal. Wilder sued to recover s.. 600
alleged to be due on a note. in a New
York court and amused the jury by
telling stories. He was given judgment
and now the defendant Of his suit asks
a reversal Of judgment upon the ground
that the jury was influenced by Wild
er's humor. In the petition is cited 4
story that Wilder told of a man in New
Jersey who fed his family on clans to
the extent that their stomachs rose and
fell with the tide.
