Division Supt G. W. Jones of Hor-
ton was in the city last Friday and
while here he called Agent w. W. |
| briggs to the depot and announced |
| that his connection with the Rock Is |
land as agent was severed. Mr.. briggs |
has been here for the past five years |
and has given eminent satisfaction as |
an agent so far as the citizens of the |
town are concerned. While we do not |
know the exact nature of the COM
pany's reasons for letting him out, it |
is pretty generally understood that it |
came as result of his trying to help |
Mr.. Tidd out and give him chance |
to do better.
Farmers why do you give your hard |
earned dollar to the St. Paul for hail
insurance when the Kansas State |
Mutual Hail Association of Mcpherson
a company of the best farmers in this
state, has done a cash business for
| over two years and saved you 30 per
cent on the cost of your hail inSur-
ance. Has someone told you that
Mutual Insurance is not a success?
Did you know that the New York
Life Insurance Company, with nearly
pany? What is Mutual Insurance?
1t is that system of insurance that
eliminates stock holders and gives the
profits of the business to the men who
insure. Call on ChaS. Sims in Bank

A story comes from a certain little
village in this county to the effect that
a jointist of that place was held up
for $50 one day last week. A man
who represented himself to be U. S.
marshal called upon the jointist and
told him he had a letter from the
county attorney stating that the
county refused to prosecute him,
therefore he 1.-THE marshal) had come
to take him down to Leavenworth as
Uncle Sans prisoner. Finally the
supposed marshal said he would let
the jointist off for $3.50. The latter
had only $50. SO after some bargaining
the deal was made the bogus marshal
pocketing the $50 and skipping for
parts unknown.
Mike Hemrick, one of the promi-
nent citizens of Deer Creek township,
was brought in yesterday before
Probate Judge Strain and examined
for his sanity. A jury was empaneled
consisting of DR.. Nelson, Jas. Woods,
f. E. Winship, II. G. Gebhart, G.. W.
Cole, John Hahnenkratt They found
: after thorough examination that he
: was of unsound mind caused by the
g breaking down Of the nervous system,
: and that he exhibited strong tenden-
e cies towards self destruction. The
S case is very sad one indeed as Mr..
Hemrick is one of the Oldest and best
respected of our citizens. We sincere
' ly hope he may soon be restored to
. health.
