BANK OF TOPEKA,
BY J. W. Thurston. Cashier.
s. III. Haffa, editor of the Abilene
Chronicle, has been fighting the
Farmers Mutual Hail association of
Topeka. AS very little attention was
paid to him he wrote to Superintend-
ent of Insurance Church on the sub
ject. He tried to fuss with Church
for allowing the association to do bus
mess in Kansas. He made an attack
on mutual hail associations alleging
that they were no benefit to the far
mers. MIR. Church replied:
Permit me to say that your meth
cd of protecting the interests of the
farmers is not method usually
adopted for such a purpose. EyeIv
farmer who holds a policy with a mu-
6ual insurance company becomes d
member of such company and tile in
surer and the insured are Identical.
The most effecJual way to destroy
protection is to bring diScredit upon
the protector. Banks have been de-
StrOyed by unwiSe and unwarranted
rumorS, and the depositors were the
chief sufferers. BY the same means
a great wrong may be done patrons of
mutual insurance companies.
Il am confident that the mutual
hail insurance companies are making
persistent efforts to conduct business
honorably. They are Kansas institu-
tionS and Kansas farmers are anxious
to get insurance against loss of grow
ing crops at a reasonable price. All
this being true it is a plain duty of us
all to avoid any action that will de-

ROBERTS BIG MOVEMENTS.
Signs Of Activity An Along the Britisl
Line.--Boers Uneasy.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia dispatch 10
the Tribune from London says:
General Roberts operations are on so
large a scale that the press dispatches
do not give a comprehensive view of
the whole field. The main fact is the
abandonment by the Dutch OF their po-
sitions at Magersfontein and around
Kimberley. The guards brigade ad-
vanced from the Modder river camp
and occupied the stronsly-lnuenched
position which was successfully de-
Tended in December against a frontal
attack.
The district northward to Kimberley
has been cleared, and the engineers are
already at work repairing the railway.
Jaeobsdal remains the headquarters
of General Roberts. but General Kelly
Kennys division at Kip DRIFT has been
reinforced by the Highland brigade.
These troops and the Seventh division
are following General COME. and Gen
eral French's cavalry brigades have
Joined in the pursuit Of the retreating
Beers northward and eastward.
Kimberley has been relieved almost
too cheaply. since the Dutch forces
have retreated rapidly, taking their
guns with shem. and viii have to be
fought in other defensive positions fur
ther north.
French and Kelly Kenny have cap
tured large number Of wagons, sheep,
oxen and military supplies. Dut have
taken few prisoners. French's flying
column may succeed in intercepung
the retreat of the scattered commando.
But the bulk of the Beer force viii
probably escape northward.
The war office closed without Issuing
any bulletin from General Roberts, hut
his silence did not cause uneasiness. Ii
was understood in official circles that
everything was going well and that
General Roberts did not consider il
necessary TO report additional details
OF the Boer retreat and the relief of
Kimberley. but would break silence as
soon as General French succeeded in
Jvertaking the enemy and there was
fighting.
General Roberts army, having re-
lieved Kimberley without a battle and
with trivial skirmishing. is now at lib
erty 10 follow COME eastward and
northward While the Free State has
been generally described in the English
press as an open and level country,
there is a series Of rivers flowing west
ward. and the ridges commanding their
banks are, in nearly every instance,
lined with kopjes. These conditions
favor the Dutch system of stragetic
defense along water courses.
Blo0mfontein itself is not likely to be
defended since Pretoria has become for
all practical purposes the capital of
both Dutch republics, but these inter
venins river ridges will enable General
COME to make a long running fight.
South Africans tell me that the strong
est defensive positions in the Free
State are the high kopje ridges between
NenteTberg and Senekal, north OF
Bloomfontein. and that General Rob
erts' main battle viii be fought there
This position is connected with Lady
smith by the Harrismith railway and
there are three stragetic railways
available for communication with the
rear and converging with Johannes
burg for Pretoria.
Generals Roberts and Kitchener have
already surprised both the Boer COM
manders and the military writer's with
