To Policy Holders Of Howard County
Mutual Insurance Association.

We learn that certain parties rep
resenting stock Insurance Companies
have been making mis-statementsa and
Misrepresentation in regard to our
association. Therefore, we deem best
to say to the policy holders that al
though the losses during the past year
have been unusually heavy yet the
present assessment of four mills win
pay all Indebtedness and losses up to
the time of this assessment. In 1885
four mills were assessed, and these are
the only two times our expenses hare
been up to stock company ratea since
the organization of the company.
The facts are, and the figures will
show, that for the whole fifteen years
of the eompany's existence the total
cost to the!policy holders has been a
trihe more than one-half OF stock com,
pany rates. And there is no reason
why the next fifteen years should ay.
erage any more. We certainly ought
to feel satisfied with the saving of

TOOK REvoLvRRS.
And Ammunition Burglary at Hubert
Hodes' gun Store.

Thieves entered the gun store of
Hubert Hodes Thursday night, and
carried away small arms and
ammunition in a considerable guam
tity. About a dozen revolvers,
eight or ten watches. pistol cartridg-
es of all calibres and manufacture, a
lot of cutlery. two. base balls and
various nick nacks were among
the booty.
Entrance to the establishment
was gained through a side door in
the rear of the building. A hole,
six inches long and four inches
wide was cut in the panel of the
door. 1t was sufficient in size to
admit the hand, and reaching
through, the thief easily removed
the fastenings and opened the door.
A strange fact connected with the
affair is that similar attempt was
made last Tuesday night. Then,
the hole in the door panel was star
ted, but for some unknown reason,
the thief gave up his work without
entering the building, having sue
cceeded when,he ceased operations
in cutting hole of the diameter oi
about an inch. His handiwork was
discovered the next morning, and
some precautionary measures were
taken, but they failed to prevent ar
entrance on the occasion of the sec
ond visit, made two nights later.
The revolvers taken were Of Ivel
Johnson and Harrington & Rich
ards manufacture. Some are 0
81 and some of 3S calibre. Th'
estimate is that at least a dozer
were taken, and Mr.. Hodes figure
that their weight together will
that of the large quantity of cart
ridges would make pretty fai
load for one man to carry. Ther'
are no clues. Everything abou
the place indicates that it was tn
work of an amateur. Parties ar
irving in town report seeing maj
