THE KANSAS MUTUAL.
This Institution Now Located
in Handsome New Quarters.

In February, 1892, the Kansas Mutual
Life Insurance company adopted To-
peka as its home, locating in the COM
modious rooms on the second floor of
the Central National Bank building.
The total assets of the company at that
date were $3.50, 656.ss. Since that time
the company has had a steady and sub
stantial growth, note the increase from
year to year. Assets Jan. l, 1898, $751;
S29.27; Jan. 1. 1894, $222. 1752S; Jan. 1,
1895, 1858. 1921; Jan. l. 1896. 1921. 97O.S2;
Jan. ], 1897, 1925. 364.19; Jan 1, 1898, $685.
393-18; jan ], 1899. $37O. 1862 SO; Jan. /,
1900, $436, 026.14; Jan. 1, 1901, $525, PSI. sc.
With the increased growth Of BUSH
ness the officers have felt for two years
past the need of larger and more roomy
quarters than could be had in the bank
building. On the first of the present
month this sterling western company
removed to the handsome and commo-
dious offices located on the ground floor
of the Real Estate building, corner of
Seventh and Jackson streets, with
floor space of 5Ox1OO feet The front Of
flee door opens into a spacious corridor
y feet wide, with tiled floor f1anked
with marble wainscoting, the walls and
ceiling taStefully decorated in oil tints.
On the left of the entrance are the
executive offices of president, vice pres
Office, and on the right those of general
counsel, medical director and agency
departments, all newly furnished and
carpeted- Going forward to the spaci-
Gus and elegantly appointed counter
are to be found the offices of assistant
secretary, cashier and auditor. Then
comes the large and commodious gen
eral Office, in which are located the
bookkeeping, acturial, policy and sup
ply departments. In the rear of the
general WOrkroon is a tWO-tier double
vault, hreprOof, containing every mod
ern convenience for fling, etc The
woodwork throughout is of quarter
sawed oak, finished in finest style.
This selection of the company's home
is truly a happy one viewed from ev-
cry standpoint, in that light, air ade-
quate room, and every modern conven-
fence for the conduct of the cOmpany's
business is amply afforded. An inspec-
ton of the new home, which the officers
of the com any cordially invite on the
part of all policy-holders and interested
citizens, cannot fail to impress the Wis
itor, as 1T has the writer that here is
equipment quite in keeping with the
deserved position held by the company
in the estimation of its friends am
constituents. The year 1901 bids fair to
be record breaker in gains. The bus
mess for the first five months of the
present year shows a handsome and
substantial gain in assets, and in in
Surance in force over the first five
months of 1900. The company has a
deposit with the state Of over $4OO, 600
and has paid to policy holders to June
J. 1901, over 81, 5O0,0 900. Topeka and the
state may we'll feel a pardonable pride
in this splendid home institution.

BOOK ROYALTIES.
Popular English Novelists Find In
creased American Sales

New York. June 15.-According to a
London dispatch to the Tribune, Eng
lish publishers in attendance at the
Leipsic congress have not yet returned
with full details of the session, but no
important results are expected from
the conference. A strong demonstra-
ton is annually made against the
American conditions of international
copyright by the continental publish
ers, who will have nothing short of the
Berne convention. but the disposition
among the English authors is to rest
content with the law as it stands. and
not to take the risks of bringing up the
question prematurely at Washington.
Popular novelists have witnessed a
rise in their royalties on their Ameri-
can book rights, first from 10 to Is and
finally to 20 per cent. which is the ra
commanded by Rudyard Kipling, A
Conan Doyle Anthony Hope and other
writer's of fiction, and while this per-
centage is smaller than in England the
book market is so n UGH larger across
the Atlantic that the income of many
of them from America is greater than
their earnings at home

YELLOW BACK VICTIMS.
Pardon Asked For Boys Who Killed
Mayor of Kinsley.

Applications for pardons for two
youthful murderers were presented to
Governor Stanley today by Charles Lob
dell chief clerk of the house of repre-
sentatives. Carl Arnold and Will Har-
vey were two youngsters who turned
desperadoes in 1895 on account of yellow
back literature. Each bought a revolver
and the first and last place they tried
to terrorize was Kinsley.
They tried to hold uD Mayor r. G.
Marsh. of that town. He thought it was
simply a Joke of some Of the town boys
and started to fight it out with them,
when both drew their revolvers and kill
ed him. They were arrested immediate
~ The town was thrown into great ex-
element and a mob was organized to
lynch the boys. In order to avoid being
strung up they went into court the next
morning, pleaded guilty and were SEN
fenced to hang, which, in Kansas, means
life imprisonment Prior to the time
when they began reading yellow backs
they were Sunday school boys and their
parents were highly respected citizens
of Dighton. Mr.. Lobdell and J. S. Sim
mons, superintendent of the Hutchinson
reformatory. have become interested in
their case and will ask Governor Stanley
to commute their sentences to ten years
each If this is done they viii get out
in a couple of years, counting the time
allowed in prison for good conduct

Emporia, Kas., June 15.-Howard
Martindale was acquitted at Madison

day the trouble occurred Howard took
a couple of farm hands and was clean

NEED STEAM?
The Place to Get it is from Selected Food

Tt is good to know the kind of food
those with weak stomachs and hearts
can get along with, for when a man or
woman is a little below par, an easily
digested food is the thing that goes
right to the spot
A man in Kirksville, Mo-. tells how
he got out of trouble by using Grape
Nuts Food. He says: My trouble was
intense suffering in the stomach. It
was called gastralgia, but no medicine
gave any permanent relief. In June of
last year I began to grow much worse
in every respect. I was terribly con-
stipated and the stomach pains were
severe I ran down until I weighed
only 120 pounds. I had to give up my
business for my nerves were completely
unstrung and I could not sleep more
than two or three hours during the
night, and that only by snatches during
a lull in the pain
i tried aim ost every kind of food. but
finally was put on Grape-Nuts and in
little while it began to make it's worth
known. began to sleep better nights,
my strength gradually came back, and
gained IN weight rapidly until a lit
tie while ago weighed 165 pounds and
have been q well man for months with
never a touch of the old trouble.
Ny bowels are perfect, the nervous
trouble has gone You can realize I ap-
preciate the value of Grape-Nuts Food.
Don't publish my name, but you can
give it in private correspondence, and
viii take pleasure in answering the
letters"
This is another evidence of the prac-
teal worth of Grape-Nuts Food in
cases OF weak stomach and bad diges-
ton It is the most scientifically made
food in existence. and contains abso-
lutely nothing but selected parts of the
field grains SO cooked and prepared as
to admit of almost immediate diges-
ton and assimilation. carrying with 1t
the elements furnished by the A1l-Vise
Creator for rebuilding the nervous sys-
TEN, the soft part of the brain and the
solar plexus-
When one gets from food what the
body needs. it is easy to get well and
keep well.

OVER FIFTY CENTS.
One Chicago Man Kills Another
Mob After Murderer.

Chicago. June 1.-two men fought
for the possession of SO cents and when
the struggle was ended one was dead
and the other was on his knees plead
ing with an Infatuated mob to spare his
life. The timely arrival of the police
prevented a lynching.
John Czech and Kazmir Kochansh
had a disagreement over the value of
piece of old copper that one had bought
from the other. Angry words led to
blows During the fight Czech picked
up the bent and battered barrel of a
rifle. He whirled the weapon about his
head, bringing it down on his adver-
sary's skull with such force that Koch
anski fell dead.
Then the mob aocked about the two
men, Czech was seized by a dozen men
Everybody wanted to drag him to a
lamp post and lynch him and were
only prevented by the timely arrival of
the police who found the man on his
knees begging for mercy.
