As1wo wears AGO the renort

AS two years ago, the report OF
the insurance department and &C.
companying tables are issued as a
separate document. From this re-
port few facts and suggestions
will be briefly noted. The losses
paid in indemnity to the policy
holders in this state Tor all classes
of Insurance during the biennial
period were as follows: on fire,
81, 80, 5O8.17; on life, $I.O5S, osO.
80; on assessment aud miscellaneous.
S25l,583 rs. The premiums of all
kinds paid in that time were $7,321,
257.79. TIE excellent supervision
of the classes of companies
admitted to business in this
state is shown by the fact that not
a single fre insurance company has
failed in that time. From Govern
or Whites Message to the Legisla
ture.

When the nob;eMan and his secre-

at once with characteristic eagernesS

The boys chamber was carefully ex-
amined and yielded nothing save the
absolute conviction that it was only
through the window that he could have
escaped. The German masters room

his case a trailer OF ivy had given way
