For Thirty Cents.

Muskogee, June PA negro
named Joe Fox was killed near
Wan, on the Valley road. because
he would not pay gambling debt
of 30 cents. Ed. Simmons, an
other negro, was the slayer, and he
is now in custody. Saturday, Fox
and Simmons were shooting craps,
and Simmons won 80 cents. He
demanded payment. Fox refused,
claiming Simmons cheated him.
The latter got very angry, threat
ening to get even with Fox. Yes
terday morning Simmons took his
gun and went to Virgins field in
Sandtown bottom, where Fox was
at work hoeing corn. Shortly af-
terward shot was heard, and in q
few minutes Simmons came into
Virgins house and said that he
had killed Fox; that Fox had tried
to kill him with a hoe. No one
witnessed the shooting, but Sim
mons story is not believed. 1t is
thought he demanded payment of
the 30 cents from Fox, and that on
the demand being refused, deliber-
ately shot Fox down. Virgins
took the slayer into custody and
delivered him to the officers at
Wan.

PHILIPPINE WAR.

Last week two forces, one under Law
ton Of about 6, 200 men and one under
General Young of about 2, 500 men start.
ed out each in different direction, prob
ably intending if possible to capture
Aguinaldo.
The roads, streams and rice fields
were found flooded and progress was
necessarily very slow. but was rapid
enough to bring CONSERVATION and sur
prise to the Philippines who thought it
impossible for our army to move at all
over such difficulties. Skirmishes have
been frequent, but always with the same
result, the "niggers" ran as soon as our
men got near them. Monday however
they made quite a decided stand and
killed five of our officers, commissioned
and non-commissioned, including Maj.
John A. Logan, son of the famous Gen.
John A. Logan of the civil war.
On the other hand our men killed a
large number of Philippines and have
captured large amounts ofstores, several
persons connected with Aguinaldo's
personal staff, his printing press, depart
ment records and other things of that
kind which go to show how near they got
to Aggy himself. A large number Of
prisoners and fifty or more muskets have
also been taken.
Owing to the bad roads Lawton and
Young were not able to form a junction
of their forces as intended and it is
thought Aguinaldo. has gone out between
them.t Itlooks as though Aguirialdo's
backbone was pretty nearly fractured.
The cruiser Charlestown while cruising
ran on an unknown reef and is a total
loss. All hands were saved. =.

the hail storm that destroys the crops Of
one is likely to be equally destructive to
the other-and who is to pay the loss?
Almost invariably after large fire in a
city, the reader will notice that many in
surance companies share the loss, even
though it be single block or stock of
goods that has been destroyed. no sin
gle company wants to take all the risk
in such cases. The principle underlying
this, is to scatter the risks. Not too
much hazard in any one place. That
company which has its risks we'll scatter
ed all over the country, isolated from
each other and not too large in any one
place. is the safest, for itself and its pat
rons. Its losses will be more uniform
and its profits more certain. 1t would
be manifest absurdity for the merchants
on the front street of Pembina, or other
similar North Dakota town, to attempt to
form mutual assessment company for
fire insurance. What they want is to
have people in Minnesota, in New York,
in Texas, everywhere but Penlbina, to
insure them. For after all it is the insured
who insure each other, no matter what
the company
We do not believe that the farmers Of
Pembina or any other county, as coun-
ty. can give each other proper protection
in hail insurance. We are quite sure,
that even the state is hardly la,ge enough
to do it. A safe business ought to i'll
clude the whole northwestern states and
as many more as possible. Then eli.
matic conditions would be more nearly
of an average year by year, but even then
we believe a surplus should be put up
yearly to provide for years of extraordin
ary misfortune.
This subject is entirely too long for &
newspaper editorial to treat in all its bear
ings; and these ideas are thrown out as
food for thought. 1t is probably true
that there are some persons personally
interested, or otherwise, in hail insurance
in this county who think differently from
us aQd ifso, the columns of the PIoNEEE
EXPRESS are open to them. 1t is live
subject to onr farmers. The theory o
hail insurance is all right. We believe
in it equally as well as other kinds of in
surance, but want insurance that will in
sure-always.
In closing, we might add, that SO fa
as we know and believe, the variou!
state and county hail companies Of Nortl
Dakota are conducted honestly by honor
able men, and if any of them come shor
in paying this year the fault is in the sys
tenn and not in dishonesty of purpose
And as a further statement to the casua
reader, we do not think anything in thi
article applies to farmers mutual count,
fire companies. They are all right an.
in many respects are superior to tn
regular companies, and especially in cost

HAIL INSURANCE.

1t would seem to us that certain prin.
pies should underlie all insurance and
particularly hail insurance.
l. Insurance should insure.
2. Insurance by the next near neigh.
Dor is wholly or nearly valueless.
3. A surplus gathered from profitable
years is necessary to make payments, in
years of heavy losses.
All kinds of insurance whether life,
fire, marine, hail or other insurance, de.
pends for surety and profit upon a gen.
eral law of ofaverages. Any insurance that
is too cheap, viz: does business on less
than the law of average loss calls, for,
must fail. Hail insurance is as yet some
what new. Life, fire and other hazards
have long ago been worked up into
, regular tables, which only extraordinary
circumstances can change. An epidemic
Of disease, or a fire like that which near
ly destroyed Chicago may change the
law of average of life or loss by fire to
some extent, but as rule life or fire
company can figure their risks and losses
with more certainty than the farmer can
foretell his crops or the merchant his
sales. Long years of study and observa-
ton have made these rules, while hail
insurance is as yet too new to have suffi-
cient data for certainty. Besides, hail
seems to be far more destructive some
years than others; hence the company
that insures against loss by hail. has, if it
expects 10 pay its losses, to get at an
average fora series Of years, rather than
than fur one or two fortunate or untortu-
nate years.
This in our opinion is one Of the great.
est errors in the formation OF the So
called mutual assessment" companies.
If farmer has a 5onanza crop of thirty
OF forty bushels to the acre and sells at
dollar a bushel, he deems himself fortu-
nate, but he is not foolish enoughto
spend all his money the following winter
and depend on a forty-bushel crop the
succeeding year. He says. II will save
!. my money, | may have no crop at all
next year, :. and the same reasoning is
true in all lines of business andais:cer-
Nainly true of insurance.
An assessment company may make in
:surance very cheap for series of years
but common business sagacity should
say, prepare during prosperity for calam-
iity that is certain to come. This is what
the .'old linep insurance companies do,
or intend to do, and when, as in this
1852 year, large areas are hailed out. then
the losses can be paid from the surplus
