was found dead on a side street in
Blakesburg, small town near here
has not been identified. There is evil

glar. A revolver, some skeleton keys
and some fuses. were part of the con-
tents of his pockets. This man is APP
parently about 80 years old.
There were no traces OF violence on
the body and death seems to have re-
suited from heart disease or some other
natural cause. All efforts to- identify
the man have thus far proved futile
and the body remains at Hayes under
taking establishment. 1t is possible that
the man had been riding thru Blakes-

He tried many medicines without relief He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, Dr. Kennedy's meao medicine, used it and began to improve rapidly: All of his old complaints have disappeared and he owes everything to Cal-cura Sol- vent.

WASHINGTON,
A VALUED HOME COMPANY.

Among the substantial institutions of the town is the Washington Mutual Fire Insurance Co.,, which was incOr- pOrated in 1861, and began business in 1863. It makes no fuss or feathers, but does substantial business in the fire insurance line, as it's name indi- cates. It's officers are: Charles 0. Ford, president, a substantial and leading local farmer; Sheldon Logan, secretary, most careful and con- scientious official and highly es- teemed on all sides, and Miles Aspinwall, Washington's well-liked first Selectman. The company was organized to save the local farmers money on their insurance and no effort has been made to accumulate a sur plus. Premium notes are issued, based on percentage of property risks. The company make a distinction between house and barn risks. Premium notes are issued on houses when they are 100 feet distant from other buildings at 24 per cent, while the rate on barns is B per cent. When houses and barns are near together all the property goes in at B. Although the rate is lower on houses than barns, MT Logan says it is a fact the losses on dwellings in their company has been greater than on barns. MT Logan has held the post of secretary for many years, and no better person for the place could be found. Following are a few facts from the forthcoming report of the state inSur- ance cOmmiSSiOner.
