In its last issue the Scimitar en-
deavored to enlighten the labors of
the Republican State Committee
which meets in Boise, February 10th,
by aiding it in the delicate task of
apportioning the delegates fairly and
satisfactorily. The chairman of the
committee is supposed to be the
Mormon candidate for Governor, but
it is not to be presumed that this
fact, Cif it is fact) will influence
him at all in the apportionment.
If any blame is attempted to be
attached to Mr.. Brady for giving the
upholders Of polygamy undue
strength in the nominating conven-
ton, we want to exonerate him in
advance.
If there should be objection to
basing the apportionment of dele
gates on the vote for Governor or
Congressman at the last election, we
will try another state candidate.

A bunch of dusky dagoes employed in
ballasting the M. p. & N. track near Lin

shaft located on the Morrison farm yes

SCHMITz LOOKS WELL.
The Former Mayor of Frisco Again
Appears in Court.

San Francisco, Jan. 10.-Following
the decision of the district court of ap-
peals yesterday setting aside the con-
viction of former Mayor Eugene E.
effect on the prosecution of the San
Francisco graft and bribery cases In
which AL indictments were returned,
perhaps necessitatfng many changes
in the plans of. the district attorney
and complete realignment of evil
dence. much activity prevailed today
emong those associated in the prose-
cution.
One of the significant features was
a conference between Abraham Ruef.
the former dictator in the politics of
San Francisco, Special Agent William
J. Burns and District Attorney Will
liam H. Langdon in the latter's office,
and at the request of the district at
torney. None of the parties to the
conference would give the slightest in
dication as to the object and the puf-
pose of the meeting, but it may be
said that the release Of Ruef on bail
is one of the results that is expected
as possible compromise between him
and the prosecution as a result of the
reversal of the Schmitz Judgment
which also nullifies the plea of guilty
made by Ruef.
Far more serious to the prosecution
| it is generally believed was the ap-
pellate courts decision because of its
applicability to Reuf than the setting
aside of the conviction of Schmitz,
having the effect, it is said, Of prac-
tically destroying the prosecution s
| hold upon the former political boss
who is regarded as the one and the
only connecting link between the &C
cused bribers and the board of super
visors.
When the case of Patrick Calhoun
came up before Superior Judge Law
| lor this morning, District Attorney
| Langdon was granted a continuance
| until Tuesday, when 1t will be set for
trial, probably early In February. For
| mer Mayor Schmitz, looking better
than he has for months, was presen,
l with his attorneys.

HAVE STUBS POSTERS.
Managers Prepare to Advertise His
Meetings.

Big, full-sheet posters bearing a half
tone portrait of w. r. Stubs have been
printed by the Stubs managers, and
will be used as advertising material
wherever Stubs is billed to speak dur
ing his campaign for the Republican
nomination for governor. The picture
shows the square deal leader with his
head slightly bent down, doing a
thinking stunt.
About 80 requests for speeches by
Stubs have been received and arrange
ments have been made for the following
meetings: Osborne, Saturday night;
Concordia, Monday night; Topeka,
Tuesday night. The speech in Topeka
will be delivered at the Grand opera
house.
The reports received at Stubs head
quarters from the meeting held last
night at Burlington are to the effect
that the meeting was attended by a
large crowd. There was great enthus-
iasm. Geo. E. Tucker, candidate for
congress in the Fourth district, also
spoke at Burlington with Mr.. Stubs.
The Stubs people have received a
letter from Congressman Charles Scott
denying the report that he is against
Stubs. Stubs fought Scott's battle
in the Second district two years ago,
and won it, hence the Second district
congressman could not very well turn
against Stubs even were he SO in

GAVE HER $4,000.
Millionaire Smell Was Liberal to His
Sweetheart Niece.

Clinton, H., Jan. 10.--Cashier Murphy
of the state National bank added new
interest to the hearing of the Smell will
case today when he testified that
Colonel Tom Smell told him that he
had given Mabel Smell, the young grand
niece with whom the aged millionaire
was infatuated. the house and lot in
Kansas City costing $4,000 and other
property worth $4,000. He also paid
for a trip to Europe and gave her thou
sands of dollars at a time. He intend
ed to make her Independent while she
lived. Her total receipts from him were
about $4,000 1t is expected that an
other woman is to figure prominently
in the case and that letters from her
will create a sensation greater than
those from Mabel Smell.

TALKS OF INSURANCE.
G. r. Mingenback Urges Mutual Com
panfes for Farmers.

Owing to his inability to leave his
school work at Lawrence Professor E.
Haworth of the State university did
not read his paper. Popular Uses of
Portland Cement at the meeting of
the state board of agriculture this
morning. The time was taken up by
a paper by c. F. Mingenback, secre-
tary of the Farmers Alliance Insur-
ance company of Mcpherson county
on Mutual Insurance for Farmers
"Co-operation,' said Mr.. Mingen-
back, dates back to the creation of
man, being rendered possible by his
endowment with those peculiar attri-
butes which make humanity a race
and not merely a species which YIELDS
masses of men into communities in
existence as herds kept together by
little else but the purpose of common
self defense from their enemies.
Insurance has developed along two
lines, one being an association of per-
sons formed for the purpose of divid-
ing losses among the members while
the other is a business which when
pushed to the extreme becomes
source of Illicit gain. The mutual sys-
tenn besides its many other advantages
does away with the accumulation Of
great wealth in one body, which is
considered a menace to the public.
The insurance reports for Kansas
Mutual fire insurance companies in
the state and that the total member
ship amounts to 66,637 The risks in
force amount to s79,306,95S with a
cash reserve fund of 1926, $50, the av-
erage cost of insurance being "a cents
per hundred dollars The company of
which I am the secretary has been do
ing business in the state since 1890
and the insurance reports of Decem-
Der 31st last year show a membership
of 2e,3s5 with s33.474.3fS in risks in
force. The receipts have been $780,

reserve of $113,753. The average cost
in the farm department per 500 Is %
cents.
This company is the largest CO..
operative fire and storm insurance
company in the United States and DUR
ing it's existence has paid its policy
holders s560,000 for losses while fur
nishing insurance to the members of
the company at rate Of less than $50
