the officers OF the Kansas Mutual Life
Insurance company were published in
the Vinita Leader and some other
papers Of recent date by request Of
some unknown party to me,
Ii seems as though ID. r. Hite.
Keller & Waters, attorneys for e. T.
Phillips, OF Kansas City, Mo-, have
brought suit against the said company
and alleges certain facts as stated in
recent publications. Upon investiga-
tion by me find them TO be abso-
lutely untrue, and brought about on
the part OF the said attorneys and
Phillips because of the failure on the
part OF the said Hite to secure the
amount OF one Thousand dollars from
the officers OF the said company with
out any compensation whatever The
said ID. Il. Hite was employed by the
superintendent of Insurance of the
state OF Kansas, In 1894, to examine
the financial standing OF the said
company, aud with the assistance of
Messrs. Good and Fellows, expert ac.
countants, they proceeded to make an
examination Of the said company as
requested by the Superintendent of
Insurance OF the state OF Kansas, and
their report in part to the Superin-
tendent is as follows:
II have carefully examined into
the expense item, as shown by the
books and The report OF Messrs. Good
Il Fellow, the expert accountants
called in by you. There has never
been one cent diverted from the NOR
tuary or any other sacred trust funds
TO pay management or other expenses
incident to the procuring OF new busi-
ness. The practice OF the manage
ment in carefully looking ahead and
dispensing upon the surplus in the
profit and loss account for the pay
ment Of the expenses necessarily in
Cured by life company in the extern
sion of territory cannot be too highly
commended. The rate of expense OF
the Kansas Mutual Life has been by
me compared from data at hand with
the ratio OF expenses OF similar COM
panies OF the same age, and find the
result highly favorable to the COM
pany under consideration.
"In conclusion wish to say that the
result Of the examination, which j be-
lieve unusual in severity, establishes
the fact that the Kansas Mutual Life
is In splendid condition. The records
OF the company show patience, indus
try and high executive ability, and
possess all the requisites necessary TO
conduct the affairs OF the company"
Write the Superintendent OF insu-
rance for the above report. The Kan
sas Mutual Life Is sound In every re-
spect, from the core out, and as far
from failure as lake Is from going
dry that has inlets double or more the
capacity OF its outlets. The future
solyency OF life insurance company
is Judged by It's assets to liabilities.
In this respect the Kansas Mutual /
stands la the front ranks as compared
with other companies. See official re-
potts TO various insurance depart
ments for the year 1900. The action
on the part OF the said complainants
is not In good faith, but is for the pur-
pose OF crippling the Kansas Mutual
Life Insurance Co. and impairing its
usefulness. For further information
regarding this matter call on or ad-
dress the undersigned.

with the victims Of the awful catas-
trophe rising from their graves at her
feet. Seen from the right-hand side.
