LARGEST PECAN CROP GROWN.

From the Galveston News:
The weather is fine for the truck
growers. Farm crops around Halletts-
vile, Lavaca county, Texas, are all
gathered. The cotton crop was the
shortest per acre ever raised in Lavaca
county. Corn did fairly we'll and is in
the market at 40 and so cents per
bushel. Cane is being cut and is max
ing good field. Next year much cane
will be planted in the bottoms. Sweet
potatoes are turning out we'll, and many
are being shipped to markets. For the
first time in ten years pecans are being
shipped from Hallettsville. The crop
is the largest ever known here. Five
cents per pound is the prevailing price.
Owners of fenced lands permit the nuts
to be gathered on halves.

STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY
The Alien Life Companies Of the
MOneyed East Are A~ggressively
Working to Retard the
BANKERS RESERVE LIFE

of This Aggressive Young Conn
pany the West Will BE
Emancipated.
In the year 1901 The Bankers Reserve Life
Association secured nearly $4,000, 900 Of new
Business. Its premium income reached the
snug sum OF Sill ,311.72, and 1t gained in
strength all along the line.
The impetus OF the years growth has
already been felt, and January, 1902, was a
banner month, the business being more than
double that Of January, 1901, and the COM
pany
VIII write S3,OOO,OOO I'm 1902.
These figures. rs shown by the annual
report Of the president, have alarmed the
alien agents and the alien corporations
who have been sapping the commercial Vi
tally OF the west for thirty years or more
are renewing their malevolent attacks upon
the fair fame and good name OF Nebraska's
favorite company.
ID. II. Robson, Pre- sident,
Has demonstrated by the report made Of
the growth Of the Bankers Reserve during
It's existence that no other company in
the union has succeeded so well as judged
by the business transacted.
The Equitable of New York, at the end
OF its third year, had a premium income
Of but sos, 1892. and the New York Life but
500, 427. The Northwestern OF Milwaukee,, at
the end OF It's sixth year, was
AwGy Behind This Home Company,
And the National OF Vermont had not
reached the water mark Of the Bankers
Reserve at the end Of It's sixteenth year.
No wonder the avaricious aliens are
alarmed. The time is coming when the
west will take care Of the west in this
matter Of life insurance.
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska are the best
insurance states In the union In proportion
to wealth and population, and the loyal
people of these states and the west gen.
orally have
Sounded the KneIl for the Aliens.
The Bankers Reserve Life deies the
venom and malice of these foreign COM
~petitors and challenges a comparison with
any company In the world as to relative
resources. plans of insurance. economy o.

Martial Law Will Be Enforced by General Bell in Batanzas Pro- vince-Unsparing Pur-

Washington, Jan. 2O-Having failed after two years strife in subduing the insurrection in Batangas province, which lies just south of Manila, and having satisfied himself that lenient treatment of the insurgents is productive of no good results, General J. Franklin Bell. the military commander in that prov ince, has determined on the enforcement of the war in the most vigorous and de- tion in a modified form, the application of martial law in all directions and the unsparing pursuit and punishment of the natives who act as spies and traitors to the United States.
 The recommendation order is dated at Batangas, December s last. It provides for the establishment of a zone around habitants are to be required to come un- der penalty of confiscation and destruc- ton of their property. This is said to be necessary to prevent the collection of forced contributions fr4m the inhabitants by the insurgents
 The military officers are allowed to fix the prices of necessaries of life and 1t is promised that the people may return as soon as peaceful conditions are estab- iished.
 This order is followed hy a long cir cular by General Bell to his station com manders. It begins with the statement that he shares in the general conviction the greater part of the people. especially the wealthier ones, do not really want peace. but the greatest good to the great est number, he says, can be best brought about by putting a prompt end to the insurrection.
 Therefore, he directs the application of general order No. 100, in force during an

 From the several reports received. 1t seems that some part of the engine broke and in some way got loose from the tender and coaches and ran two or three miles, when it completely col lapsed.
 The engineer and fireman. whose names have not been learned here. as soon as they discovered the engine could not be controlled. jumped from it. The engineers skull was fractured and the is thought to be in dangerous condition, The fireman was considerably shaken up. He Is negro.
 One report is to the effect that both the engineers and firemans backs were broken. The engineer was taken to the Plant System Hospital at Way Cross Ga. On account of, the wreck Elba had no trains from Saturday noon until late Sunday evening, when a new engine and new coaches came in.
