From His Insurance Companies
Have Plenty of Money.

Saturday Chas. w. Biting received
statements from the various insurance
companies which he represents. giving
estimates Of their losses in the great Bal
timore fire and each company is paying
its losses promptly and have plenty Of
money to pay their losses and hardly no.
tice il. none of them being compelled to
draw a dollar from the home office.
The London Assurance estimate their
loss at 100000; this they paid from the
current balance at their bank, without
any assistance from the home office.
The Mercantile Fire and Marine esti-
mate their loss at $4,000 which they will
pay without any draw on their surplus.
This was one Of the two Boston stock
companies to pay their losses in full in the
great Boston fire in 1877.
The German Alliance Insurance COM
pany is another one of Mr.. Billings COM
panies which makes a flattering showing.
Their losses are estimated at $4,000 and
the officials report that this amount is
less than five per cent Of the company's
assets and less than thirteen per cent
of lis net surplus, and will leave the
company with a net surplus larger than
its entire capital.
Mr.. Biting certainly has cause to feel
good and proud of the showing Of the

ANOTHER GOLD
BRICK SCHEME
Suckers Have Chance to Get
Even However.
AT EXPENSE OF FRIENDS
Gigantic SwindIe Is Now Be-
ing Perpetrated'

The Eaeie is in recent of a letter from
a well known business man OF TINS city
who declares that a Bloomington, Ill,
concern is gold bricking" a number Of
people of this vicinity through its agents
The gold brick in this instance costs
tbeb uver 81 500. one-half of which goes
10 the agent who sells It. The trick Is
not a brick but a patented gate Tor
which the rights are being sold. Our
informant declares that a number OF
Wichitans have already been taken in and
asks the Eagle TO call a halt The truth
is the Eagle gets tired of warning peo-
pie 1t knows nothing about the patent
gate or its agents, or the firm back of
the agents. However, those who are fool
;sh enough to invest j many peddled pat
emf right. will get no sympathy when
his money is gone. Patent rights that
are valuable are never hawked about for
sale.
The scheme is said to be as follows:
A letter is received by some business
man in this city from a friend, for IN
stance. inviting the former to come 10
Bloomington, H.. at the expense OF a GER
tain firm and examine a patent gate
supposed to be the biggest money maker
on the market. 1t costs $500 TO buy
county right in which to sell the gate,
hut at the same time the new stock
holder who has invested $500 has the
right to interest any of his friends IN
the proposition They in turn are invited
TO visit the plant at the firms expense.
OUT of every sucker that thei INVESTOR
gets TO invest $500 in the scheme, he
gets half The more people he gets TO
invest in the scheme the more money he
makes
1t is said that the game is so cere-
fully worked by the firm which it at the
head of it, that they do not become liaoie
under thep ostal laws for criminal use
of the malls. but nine out of ten of their
victims do.
The company is said to have gotten its
endless chain plan so extensively estaD-
Ished that it simply works the pigeons
as they fly into the net and the con-
scienceIess victims become the stool pig
cons to draw more into the greatest
swindle ever planned.
