the interest on which was to be used for
prize each year for the best essay on some
phase of Diplomatic History" He now
offers to supplement this gift by $50 prize,
as the following letter to President Joseph
Swain explains:
II notice the announcement in the uni
versity publications sent me of prize of
S25 for an essay on some United States
historical subject, from the interest of the
fund provided by me- 1t occurs to me that
it would be a greater inducement for re-
search ana study if the prize would be in
creased to $50. If it is not too late to change
the announcement and you can accept my
suggestion, l will send you a check for $50
for the prize of 1899 and you can let the in
terest accumulate on the fund And If q
topic has not yet been announced l would
suggest The Treaty of Alliance with

These Dangers.

The Farmers Mutual Insurance Compa-
MES Union of Indiana held it's second
annual meeting in the Statehouse yester-
day. Twenty companies-members of the
union-were represented by delegates as well
as three new companies, admitted to men,
bership during the meeting.
President Aaron Jones, of South Bend,
mislaid the manuscript of his annual adj
dress. and spoke briefly on general subjects.
He said that time had demonstrated the
value of mutual insurance among farmers,
and by the plan as operated in this State
insurance cost less than half what the old
line companies charged. In order that the
farmers of the State might know more of
the workings of the plan, the president adj
vised that steps be taken to have the State
Insurance Department publish the reports
of the companies of the union each year in
its regular report
During the afternoon a discussion arose,
during which it became evident that a ma
jority of those present desired the scope of
the act of 1882, under which the companies
able the companies to write insurance
against hailstorms and cyclones. At pres
cnt il is only possible to insure against fire
and lightning. To help along this project,
the following legislative committee was APP
pointed: President Aaron Jones, of South
Bend; George V. Kell and George 3. Law
renee, of Allen county; c. c. Maze and Jo-
seph Saunders, of Madison county; ]. c.
Mendenhall,l of Henry county, and j. w.
Dunfee, of Whitley county.
w. d. Forbes of Wall Lake, Ia president
of the national organization spoke at length
of the work of mutual insurance companies
among the farmers of ali sections of the
country. The plan is. he said, applicable to
all lines of insurance, and is daily becoming
more popular Before adjournment the fol-
lowing delegates were named to represent

Venton at Chicago from Feb. Is to March /:

No Tax Sale Monday.

AT the recent session of the leg.
islature the revenue and assess.
ment law was amended so as to
provide that real estate belonging
to delinquent taxpayers shall be
advertised for sale in June and
be sold on the LIST Monday in Ju.
ly. The act of 1897 required the
advertisement to be made in Au-
gust and the sale on the LIST Mon
day in September.
Comptroller King, believing
that the act of 1899 applied to the
collection of delinquent taxes for
1898, instructed county trustees
of the various counties to proceed
to sell the lands on the LIST Mon.
day in July. In obedience to
these instruction Trustee DeFord
had advertised and was preparing
to sell the lands Monday.
However, the following opinion
of Attorney General G. w. Pickle
to Comptroller King, is self.ex
planatory, and, shows why the
sale on the LIST Monday in July
was not completed: Dear Sir: Up
on your suggestion l have exam
ined the assessment act of 1896
with view Of ascertaining whetl
or lands shall be sold on the Is
Monday in JAly for the tax o

es of 1898 under pre.existing law,
and not under the assessment Law

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C.
Itmsy be question whether the editor
OF newspaper has the right to publicly re-
commend any OF the various proprietary medi-
cines which food the market, yet as a pre-
ventive of suffering we felt duty to say a
good word for Chamberln's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it reli-
able. In many cases dose Of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while physi-
clan is awaited. We do not believe in de-
pending implicitly on any nedicine for a
cure, but we do believe that if bottle OF
Chamberlin's Diarrhoea Remedy wete kept
on hand and administered at the inception OF
an attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence OF a
physician would not be required. At least
this has been our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by ]. K. Barlow.
