Does the REFLECTOR want any more proof
regarding the deception practlced, by the
Farmers Mutual Hail association upon the
farmers Of Dickinson county, Chronicle,
The REFLECTOR has not seen any
"proof" yet. You alleged that you
knew of an insurance company that
was a fraud" and after a while pub
lished a letter from Dave Overmeyer
who simply says he left the above
named company because it would not
allow him to make disposition of the
profits as he wanted, which was prob
ably good business Judgment on
its part, This paper has no desire to
advertise any business not legitimate
and none would be more glad to have
any such exposed. We have pub
lished the advertisements OF the
above company because its local
agent, Mr.. Byrne, is a responsible
man and because persons we trusted
have endorsed the managers. The
Chronicle after much buster has
failed to prove single instance that
shows the company to be Legitimate
in its methods, even Mr.. 0vermeyer
makes no such charge, and we are
still waiting for its proof. Grunts
from people who could not secure ad-
vertislng or a special share Of the
profits are not "proof'" II the com.
pany is not trustworthy we want to
know it,

At Beattie, Kansas, last year
ticket was elected made up entirely
OF women. The new officials took
their places and proceeded to BUSH
ness. They closed every saloon,
Joint and back room drug store in the
place. They did many other things,
among them being the stopping OF
splitting on the sidewalks and smok'
ing where women could see them at
it. Whether or not corsets were pro-
hibited or high heeled shoes banished,
the record does not say. 1t seems,
however that the prohibitive ordi'
nances were all directed at the men.
The men bided their time, and when
election day rolled around they de-
clared war. They put upa straight
whiskey, tobacco, smoking, splitting
ticket and ran it openly against the
one renominated. The men won and
will now open up their saloons,
smoke in church II they want to, and
spit on the parlor carpet if the notion
takes them. And they will probably
be very wicked. Men always are
when women sit on them for year.

Penitentia Irvine.

The last legislature made provision
for the establishment Of a Irvine plant
at the state penitentiary. In compli-
ance with the act, the board Of direct.
ors, after having carefully inyestigat-
ed the different plants and the ma.
chinery in the market, let contracts
in May for the machinery which the
manufacturers agreed to furnish by
early fall. Many things interfered so
that the machinery could not be
made, tested and accepted until the
middle Of January and the output Of
the plant for this years harvest will
be limited to about five months.
Since the acceptance Of the machin.
cry, the plant has been in continuous
operation and will furnish about one
million pounds for delivery by June
10Th. The Irvine is put in sacks con.
tanning ten balls weighing flvepounds
each and no package will be broken

the output will be sold directly to the
farmers in not less than one hundred

some newspapers that the peniten-
tiary Irvine would be sold at ten
cents; but this statement was unau-
thorized. The price was not fixed
until the meeting Of the directors on
March 9th and is ten and one-half
