BY Way Of Reminder.
From the Durand Express.

Just as a reminder largely in the
fact that election time is close at
hand, something is said about Hon.
Joseph w. Fordney, congressman
from the eighth district and candi-
date for reelection. While there Is
practically no opposition to Mr..
Fordney, and 1t looks like he is go.
ing to have his usual nice majority,
yet it is right and proper that the
memories of the voters be logged a
little.
To be truthful about it, Mr.. Ford
ney has not pleased everybody all of
the time with some of his actions in
congress, and yet as a whole he has
given eminent satisfaction. Who is
there who is human that could go
into this important Office and do
everything just as everybody would
wish? Such a man has not been born
yet, let alone trying to find him in;
public office. But, Mr.. Fordney has
been right in nearly every instance
in his public career, and If at any
time 1t has been shown by future de-
velopments that conditions might
have been bettered by averse condi-
lions Mr. Fordney Is able to see the
same and do his share towards rec
tifying any possible mistakes.
He certainly is one of the strong
est congressman in the house, so rec
ognized by authorities. He is not
afraid to take stand on any propo-
sition and he is there with the
strength to carry out his share of the
argument. For instance it has been
suggested that the rural mail service
be discontinued. You can just bet
that Mr.. Fordney is opposed to II
and he is waging hot war against
any such action.
And there are other equally impor-
tant matters In which he is vitality
interested at this particular time, all
for the good of the people In general.
as well as his constituents in the
eighth district.
There's a lot of good things that
can be said of Mr.. Fordney, and
whenever they attempt to say some
thing bad they invariably fail to
make successful issue of 1t or car
ry 1t through with any degree oil
facts. And, therefore, 1t is pretty
easy to predict return to congress
for our Mr.. Fordney and with the
usual majority as aforesaid mention

on Bond Of Insurance
Company.

a suit In chancery was Instituted
yesterday in the city Circuit Court by
G.. w. Miles & Sons. asking the APP
pointmcnt for a receiver for the
Shawnee Fire Insurance Company, OF

the company with the Treasurer of the
State OF Virginia for the protection
of poiicyholders. Judge Scott will set
a time for a hearing on the application
for a receiver shortly.
Some weeks ago the Insurance
Bureau OF Virginia Joined with tGo
insurance authorities of several other
States in an effort to make an exam!-
nation of the affairs of the shawnee
Company. When the examiner reached
Topeka. he was denied access to the
books of the company, and before ac-
ton could be taken revolving the COM
