MUTUAL LIFE BACK.
One of the Hillmon Insurance Com
panies Again Admitted to
the State.

The Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York was admitted today
to do business in the state of
Kansas by superintendent of In
surance Church and a certificate
of authority has been granted to
the company. This is one of the three
companies which was barred out of the
state by Webb McNall on account of
their refusal to pay the Hillmon claim.
The admission of the company is in
pursuance of the policy announced by
Mr.. Church that he would not allow
any of the acts of Mr.. McNaI to in
f1uence him in the conduct of his office.
Upon the representation of the Mutual
Life showing that the company was
sound and upon the payment of its
taxes it was promptly admitted. 1t paid
in $4,000 as per cent on it's renewals
for 1898 and $10O in fees. Its agents
licenses will come in extra.
The question was raised that as long
the company was barred from doing
business in the state last year it ought
not to be required to pay taxes for that
time, but Mr. Church held otherwise.
and the tax was promptly paid by the
company.
The other companies which were
barred out of the state by Mr.. McNall
for not settling the Hillmon claims were
the New York Life and the Connecticut
Mutual The New York Life was ad-
mtted last year after settling its pOr-
tion of the Hillmon claim, but the Con-
necticut is still out. 1t will be admitted
as soon a S it makes the proper showing

Plans For State Institution
Employees.

Des Moines, March 25.-The board of
control and superintendents of state in
stitutions today concluded arrange
ments for uniforming all officers and

whose uniforms are cheaper and of diff
ferent material. The board will pur-
chase the material, which will be manu-

officers must wear uniforms when on
duty.
The new rule prohibiting the employ
ment by superintendent of members of

In nearly all these institutions the
wife of the superintendent is now acting

two other members of his family or
relatives are on the pay rolls The
board has made this rule so that then
superintendents may be able to hold
their assistants closer to the rules than
where they are SO closely related to
