NO GOLD, BoHOs' GO.
Chas. Luiing Goes After Certain Insur-
ance Companies of State.

Jno. NJ StansberTy of this city has OBJ
tanned an opinion from Attorney General
Coleman of -thS state. which Chas. Luz
ling of this city, state superintendent of
insurance, has been ordered-io see is OBJ
served in every part of the state
This opinion is on gold bond con-
tracts. The attorney general declares
that that kind of contracts can no longer
be sold in Kansas by insurance com
panies.
The state superintendent of insurance
yesterday sent out notice to the various
insurance companies who have been do
ing this kind of business to cease issu-
ing the policies. The ruling is made on
the ground that the contracts are not

order is made under a recent decision Of

holds that the gold bonds are not in

premium for ten years. agreeing TO re

the amount is not specified.
The Topeka Capital takes the gold

of an annual premium Of Sio0 for q period

Of ten years. A the end of that time the
company agrees TO return to the policy
holder $1,000 and Accumulated profits"
Nothing is said about the amount OF
these profits, although it is claimed many
OF the agents in selling the bonds rep
resent that the profits win amount to at
least the face of the policy. This is one
OF the objections to The issuance Of the
bonds in this state. The holder Of one
Of the Missouri State Life bonds also
has some alternatives. If he doesn't
want his money back he can take the
accumulated profits and $3.50 in paid
up life insurance, if he can pass the
physical examination. II that doesn't
suit him he can take his accumulated
profits and s1.250 in cash TO be paid in

The third alternative is TO take the "ac-
cumulated profits and cash payments OF
$1l2 annually for ten wears

east-bound, which left Wichita Sunday
afternoon at 80 O'Clock, was running at
high rate of speed, about one mile east
of Andover, the tender jumped the track.
The entire train continued for distance
of sixteen telegraph poles and tore up
the rails all along before it could he
brought to a standstill.
There was no one killed and no one
hurt. At least, that is what was SAID
yesterday at the local offices. How every
one escaped injury. however, the officials
are at a loss to know.
On the other side Of Andover is a steep
grade. 1t was IN that vicinity that the
tender left the track At the first notice
than the wheels had left the rails the
steam was shut of and the air breaks
were set. Owing to the fact that the
train was running fast and that it was on
a steep grade, that act for a time had
little effect on its speed. Engine and
cars jostled along oyer the road bed
and did not stop for a distance of six
teen telegraph poles, or nearly one
eighth of a mile
Remarkable to relate. all of the cars
and the engine were found to be on the
track when the train came to a standst;l-
Some of the rails were turned over.
however, and the track was almost total
ly ruined, so far as the rails were con-
cerned, the entire distance from where
the tender left the track to the place
where the train stopped
The work of clearing the track and get
ting it in shape for further traffic was
undoubtedly done in the quickest time
on record. An effective system was
adopted to again start the wheels of the
line in operation.
A telegram to Wichita called out an
extra engine to the scene of the wreck.
Train No. 305. due here at 500 O'Clock
in the afternoon reached the scene of
the wreck at about the same time. The

men have found good thing anc
and are pushing it along.
The first conclusion is an alb
surdity, for the obvious reason
that the business acumen and judg
ment Of too many persons Is IN
yolved, and the successful exist
ence aud operations az southern
cotton mills cover too many year,,
There is another way of feeling
the pulse of business men, how
ever, to determine the condition OF
enterprises and investments Of all
kinds, and that is by the
value Of stock and stock quota
tons. This is by far the most un-
erring indication of the condition
Of invested capital. Men who in.
vest their money in any kind of
scheme do SO of course with the
hope of returns, but at the same
time they take two views Of It's
success. They feel personal in
terest in the success of their ven
=, ture, because their reputation as
good business men is involved.
The stock dealer takes only one
view, and that is cold. blooded bus.
mess view. He wants to buy stock
and II il at a profit, and frequent
ly knows nothing personally, and
cares nothing personally, for the
success of the concern whose stock
he handles, and has no reputation
involved in its success or failure.
In many instances money has
been invested in manufacturing
enterprises from patriotic motives,
primarily to benefit the town in
which ii was located. In other
instances to promote the indus
trial development of the country.
On the stock exchanges men are
plunPers, and very rarely, If ever,
do such motives ever enter into
their operations.
Let southern cotton mills be
to this cold-blooded and
unsentimental business test to learn
whether or not they are succeeding
