circular seems to be issued by one
Jos. Steinherger, agent, Worthington
who represents the Northwest Wind.
Bag Co. I am glad that he is attack
ing the Alliance Hail Insurance Co.
of Austin, because it gives me q
chance to show up my company in 8
clearer light than ever before. I have
been with the company for 8 years
We do not deny that the company
collected, in 1898, $5l ,877, and paid
losses $lO,O55.16. But Mr.. Stein
berger carefully omits that the ALI
ance at the same time added to Their
guaranty fund $29. 1858. Their net
assets Jan. l.. 1899, we're $82, 788.23
Go back to the year before If you
please, the Alliance collected $40
l72 and paid losses $36, 765, and the
Northwestern did not even make re
port that year, at least the insurance
commissioner report does not show
it. Maybe tho Wind Bag Co., was
not in existence. These so called
"Facts for Farmers" as Agent Stein.
berger terms it, is simply to draw
wool over their eyes and make them
hate an old established company.
Some one, must have furnished Agent
Steinberger with money as he has
been offering 500 to members of the
Austin Co., to give their policies and
insure in the Wind Bag, but withou,
avail; A policy in the Austin Co., is
backed by all its members and $82
1928 in cash. Losses are paid cash
as soon as adjusted. Our assessment
last year was fully as low as that OF
the Wind-Bag Co. The supreme
court looks at the Alliance Co., in a
different light from what Mr.. Stein
berger does. And sensible farmer
looks moro for protection than simply
promises. Promises have never paid
any hail losses, debts or house rents.

Dreyfus' Trial.

RENNEs, Aug. 30. -Lieutenant Colo
mel Cordier, retired, member OF the
intelligence bureau when Dreyfus was
there, occupied most of the time of the
court. martial to-day. He testified that
at first he believed Dreyfus was guilty,
but later became sure there was no
proof of the guilt of the accused.
General Roget confronted Cordier:
"Were you not an anti-Semite in
1894?" asked Roget. eyes," replied
Cordier, "and l still object to Jews in
the army, but not enough to bring false
evidence against one of them accused
OF treason"
Former minister of war DeFreycinet
testified that he got the idea of thirty
five million franc syndicate to free
Dreyfus from condolences and happen
ings as the Dreyfus case progressed.
This was the only basis for his state
ment to MERCER that such a syndicate
existed. Witness was non committal
when asked by Jouaust his opinion as to
Dreyfus' guilt. Labori: ado you
know single fact to lead you to think
any foreign agent has done anything n
France to bring about revision?''
De Freycinet: mo, nothing" La
bori: "Or anything that influenced the
Court of Cassation?" "No," said the
former war minister.
1t is rumored that prosecution is be-
coming disorganized Deboisdeffre is
angry with MERCER since Freystetter's
revelations of documents secretly COM
municated to the first court-martial,
and threatens to throw his associates
overheard. Rumor persists that the
prosecution will adopt new tactics, ad-
hitting that Esterhazy wrote the bor-
dereau but Dreyfus was fellow con-
spirator.

The Tenth arrived on time and the mil

which was President Mckinley in q
carriage drawn by four white horses.
Behind him were Gems. Merritt and
