DAN HORNS DREAM

If Dan Horn, one of Topeka's early pioneers, who recently died in Cali fornia, should come back to earth and drop down in Topeka he would find that his old dream had been realized in part. MT, Horn homesteaded the quarter section known as Horns Addi- tion. This comprises Westlawn, Gov ernor's Square and the thickly built up section bounded by Clay Street on the east and Fourth on the north
 The little homestead shack of Mr Horns was near the present location of Christ Hospital. There the New Englander and his wife had mighty lpipe dream. They saw visions of Clay Street as the main business street of the town Acting on the dream they erected, in '5S, a three story brick building on the northwest corner of Sixth and Clay, to be used as hotel.
 To be sure the location of the new { hotel did not look very business like at the time. There were three or four houses on the claim and a good crop of corn. The houses were the cement houses of Judge Dow at the northeast corner of Eighth and Clay; the Ginno house oppoisite the present location of the Governors mansion, and Peter Fishers between Sixth and Seventh on Buchanan.
 However, this unpromising outlook did not trouble MT. Horn. He had taken a squint at the future where he thought he could discern a series of sky scrapers on each side of Clay Street from Papan's Ferry to the Horn Hotel. But he had not looked straight. Papan's Ferry moved down to the foot of Kansas Avenue and left the hotel and Clay Street as lonesome as an island in midocean. When he learned what had become of the ferry. Dan Horn saw his dream of Clay as a sec ond Wall Street vanish into thin Kan sas air. He sold the would-be hotetl for what he could get and in a few years, poor and disgusted left the town for California.
 If Dan Horns ghost could kick the dust off his feet and slip back some dark night, he would not be so disap- pointed now To be sure he would see no skyscrapers, but the appearance of Governors Square and Westlawn would please him a bit. He could slip back to his litle pine box and say, Rest in peace, Dan, for the last of the quarter section is being built up l-Topeka Journal.

FRATERNAL INSURANCE.

Commissioners Report Shows In-
 creased Assets for Forty -four Socie-
 ties-Four Deficit.
 Hartford, July 12.-Insurance Com missioner Upson has submitted to the governor part III of his report for 1905, dealing with fraternal societies. The report says:
 At the end of 1905 the total assets of the forty-four societies under con- sideration amounted to $37,679, ,754.dS, being an increase of 1904 of $7, JOS, ,S95.- 6S; the total balance to protect con- tracts was $93, ,267 ,959.15, an increase of $6, 755, 426.6O over 1904; the number of members was 2,945, 5,101, an increase of 6,529.
 The total amount paid by members in 1905 was sS, 459, ,24414 more than in 1904; the income from all other sources in 1905 was $1S9, ,09625 more than in 1904; the total income for 1905 exceeded that of 1904 by $8,64S3 3O439. The dis bursements show that the amount paid to members was $S9, ,O6S, ,245.57, or $174,- 569.11 less than In 1904; the amount paid for expenses was $359, ,08.0t great CT than in 1904, and the total disburse- ments were $1S5, 5,245,80 greater than in 1904.
 An examination of the Fraternal Benefit League, New Haven, was made in March, 1906, and of the Knights of Columbus, New Haven, in May, 1906. In both cases it was found that the annual statement furnished to this department agreed with the socie- tvs books, and that the assets claimed were in possession of the society as stated. The following societies showed a deficit on the 31st of December, 1905. The deficit at the end of 1904 is given for comparison:

 Tt is a continued misfortune that in spite of the very creditable achieve ments of many fraternal societies in the matter of economy of adninistra- tion and successful representative form of government, the prime essen- tial of sound insurance-an exact quantttative knowledge of the liabili- ities undertaken-remains universally lacking. It shoud not be forgotten that in the absence of the results of a suitable valuation of mortuary liabih- ties, it is impossible to obtain a proper plea as to the relative financial strength of the following page"

STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT.
PREPARATIONS FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AT WEE BURN
To be Held July 17th to the 21st-New Haven Will Not Enter Tean, but In- dividuai Players Will Take Part.


 Haven VIII Not Enter Tean, but In-
 dividuai Players VIII Take Part.
 Golf clubs all over the state are busy preparing for the state tourney which begins at the Wee Burn clubs links, Stamford, July l7 and lasts until the 21st.
 The New Haven Country club will be right in the field with strong team and with some formidably indi- vidual entries. The club last year won the individual championship with Dr. William Kent Shepard, of the Yale faculty. Its team was sent down to defeat by a few strokes by the splen- did gol1ng aggregation, the Brooklawn club of Bridgeport.
 Dr. Shepard will again compete and he will again be factor in the cham pionship, although Wee Burn has two cracks who will be favorites because of their familiarity with the home course.
 Dr. Shepard is captain of the Coun- try club team this year. His sextette is not yet chosen, but five of the six men will be, in all probability, Dr.. Shepard, captain; Charles H. Zimmer- man, Roger s. White, 2d., E. S. Parme- lee and William H. Ely. The sixth player may be either William A. Rice or E. S. Bronson, M. H. Marlin, one of hn IYvo s,f the team, Is not competing in the team matches this year and will not be on the aggregation. As made up the team is good, but it went to Wee Burn last week and was beaten so that chances are that 1t will not, without considerable reversal of form, defeat the strong club on the home links at Stamford.
 The New Haven Golf club will enter a few players but it is understood that it will send no team down to Wee Burn. The strongest players on the New Haven golf team are members of the Yale varsity team who are not in the city in July
 The spring tournament season is over at the New Haven Country club links and nothing remains there now but pickup matches, but some inter esting informal events are likely before the state tournament. The members of the team are giving. a good share of their time to putting the finishing touches upon their form and will go to Wee Burn in excellent shape
 Robert Shields, professional coach al the Country club, has left this city for the summer and has gone to Eastern Point, where he is in charge of the links of Morton F. Plant. He will re. turn in the fall His place at the New Haven Country club is taken by George Quentin of Whitneyvlle, a clever young golfer. MT. Quentin Is also in charge of the course at Pine Orchard.
