Apropos of the statement in last
weeks Cresset that the Populists of
Kansas have done nothing to merit the
support of the voters of the state, 1t
Will not be out of place to relate a local
circumstance here in our own county
and township wherein Insurance Com
missioner Webb McNall saved SIS to a
widowed lady. On April Is, 1897, Mrs.
Mary A. Murphy's house near Pixley
was totally destroyed by fire. The
house was insured for $500 and the
household goods were insured for $50,
all In the Continental Insurance Co.
The company paid Mrs. Murphy $525
without a great deal of reluctance but
refused to pay SIS because, it said, the
house was old and not in good repair
etc., etc. Twenty-Five dollars was a
small amount and Mrs. Murphy could
not have afforded to 60 to the expense
Of employing an attorney and conclud
ed to drop the matter. But it was moi
long until Superintendent McNall wrote
for information concerning the matter
asked how much had been paid, ETC.,
and his letter was fully answered by j
g. Walstad, Mrs. Murphy's son-in-law
In the course of few weeks the insur
ance company sent Mrs. Murphy a drafi
for $25 with the explanation that this
balance was sent because McNall had
requested it. The fact Of the matter
was that McNall had informed the
company that the money had to bs
forthcoming or the company would be
brought to terms speedily. There ar.
many other such instances in the stats

CLEANING JEwELRY.
Plain soap and Water VIII Not Hurt
Genuine stones or Pure Metals
of Any Description.

1t is common impression that water
Injuries jewelry, but jewellers say this Is
not the case, provided the stones and
metal are real. There is no excuse for
letting fine rings and other jewelry be-
come dirty, for gold can be excellentIy
well cleaned by washing it in warm
soapsuds, made with 4 pure colorless
soap and further strengthened by few
drops of sal volatile. IN this the orna-
ments must be brisliy rubbed with the
hands. then instantly rinsed in cold wa
ter and polished with a piece of chamois
leather. Gold ornaments containing
stones should not be dipped in this sal
volatiZed water.
To clean ornaments in which stones
are set use plain soap and water alone,
and do not allow the ornaments TO re-
main too long IN the water, for the
stones are liable to become ioosened.
Having rubbed the ornaments gently in
the soapsuds. rinse them in cold water
and dry slightly. Then make pointed
instrument out of a roll of soft paper
and with this clean out the corners and
underneath parts of the stones. 1t will
be found that much dust collects below
