INSURANCE RATES REVISED.
REDUCTION OF MORE THAN 81
PER THOUSAND.
New Rates Due to Improvements
in Fire Department and Wa
terworks System.

The Southeastern Tariff Association
has revised Dawson's insurance rates,
making a reduction of about 20 cents
per hundred on mercantile and other
risks in the business part of the
city. The rate on dwellings, 10 cents
per hundred, remains unchanged.
The revision of the rates was made
on account of recent improvements in
the waterworks system and the estab-
lishment of paid fire department in
Dawson.
Mr.. Jno.'D. Young, special agent of
the tariff association, was in Dawson
about two weeks ago for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether or not the rates
then existing should be changed, and
if so how great a reduction should be
made.
%The reduction of insurance rates
means much to the merchants and bus
ness men of Dawson.
The new rates are now in effect.

DAWSON'S POSTALRECEIPTS
THE YEAR JUST ENDED
SHOWS AN INCREASE.
A Growth of Several Hundred
Dollars i'm the Volume of Bus
mess Transacted.

The receipts of the Dawson post
Office for the fiscal year ending June
1st were 81, 170.SO. This is an increase
of S66S.S0 over the business of the pre-
vious year, which was $4,000.
Salaries are regulated to large ex-
tent by the receipts of each Office, and
if the volume of business done by the
Dawson Office had been larger by
about $40 Postmaster Alexander's
salary would have been increased from
$500 to $1,000 a year.
There is no better indication of
Dawson's growth and prosperity than
this increase in its postal business,
The receipts of the Office will doubtless
show a much larger increase another
year.

A FACT |!
CAN'T RIDE ON FREIGHTS.
Central Has Stopped This Privilege on Its
Roads.

The Central railroad has quit carry
ing passengers on any of its freight
trains, as it has done heretofore. Official
notice to this effect was sent to all OF
its agents last Thursday.
For several years past the Central
railroad, for the convenience of travel
ing statesmen and those holding mile
age books, has permitted such persons
to ride on freight trains, they having
signed the usual contract releasing the
company from any liability for person
al injury or loss of baggage.
AS this permission was granted sole
ly for the convenience of such passen-
gers the contract mentioned herein
was required.
Now, a decision just rendered by a
Georgia court and sustained by the SUI
preme court makes such contract inyal.
id, and having no protection against
similar claims the only thing left the
company was to protect itself by with
drawing the privilege.
The case in point was that of trav'
cling man who boarded Central train
several months ago. He claimed that
the jerking of the train, which is usual
in freight trains, injured him, and &C.
cordingly brought suit for damages
and recovered from the company.

Near Maple City, in Cowley county,
one day last week, Farmer John Ste

into a well to e.ean it out Both were
overcome by foul air and were stone
dead when taken from the well On
the same day, at the little village of

catastrophe resulted in bringing

was overcome by the gas and became
unconscious. William Pelzel bravely
went down after Meis, and he IN turn
tuceumbed to the deadly vapor Then
Paul Keoner went down after the other
Two and met a similar fate, and this
was the situation when Henry karlin
arrived IN the scene. Without mo-
ment's hesitation Karin had a rope
tied beneath his arms and a silk hand
kerchief over his face and he was then
lowered in the well carrying an extra
rope Reaching the bottom he hastily
tied the loose rope around the leg of
q man and the man was hoisted to the
surface. Twice this operation was re-
peated, and then Karlin was hauled
out, he having become unconscious just
as ne finished tying the rope on the
last man. All four remained uncon-
seious for a long time. but doctors
finally succeeded in bringing them
around. Neither Pelzel nor Keouer
knew the danger they were going into.
as they had never heard of water gas,
bat Karlin did, and he took the chances
like bero.

EYEGl ASSES AND WHY.
increase in tle Number of Persons
VINO Weer SpectacIes.

The question is often asked, partic.
nlarly by those whit can recall the Gus
toms and experiences of twenty-five
years ago: Why do SO many persons
nowadays wear glasses?" The answer
is easy, says Ltprineott's. The in,
crease in the number of spectacles
Torn is not to be regarded as al evil
dence of modern degeneration of the
eyes, but rather that a long felt neeese
Sity has been met. For it should be
remembered that within the past quar-
ter of century much has been learned
about the value OF glasses, and the
lange of their application aud useful
1ess has been enormously extended
Of course, the eyes need more help
how than formerly. as the amount or
work they are required to do is much
greater than at any previous period in
the worlds history. The sewing mfr
chine and many otker inventions OF its
Class save the labor of the hands only
to add to that required of the eyes
New emptoyments. new amusements,
and new fashions are continually being
introduced to increase the exactfons
laid upon those sensitive and delicate
organs. The steady decrease of illit.
,eracy, together with the general cheap
ness of literature and spi cad of a
taste for it, the enormous circulation
of novel, magazine and newspaper. the
eyer-increasing use of artificial illumi-
nation, all combine to overtax the eyes
and to weaken or possibly destroy the
sight unless the required aid and pro-
lection be supplied through every
means at our disposal Thus it hap
pens that the sometime luxury of prop
erly adapted glasses has come to be rec
ognized and understood by very many
OF the present generation as one of the
zeal necessities of their lives.

iy appalling in their magnitude. There
are at present about 900 ,00O, 900 cents
in circulation. and yet the mint is COM
PEELED to turn out nearly 1000 900 4
