Pur rustling little county capital
comes to the front , this week , with a
National Bank. Indianola is to be con
gratulated upon her laudable endeavors
to keep well in. sight of this metropolis.

we a demonstration of the fact that you
can't conduct a bona fide newspaper
very long on wind , although the article
is bountifully supplied in this country
by nature. It takes some means and
ability to successfully sail over the
tempestuous sea of journalism. We

kins' reputation is national and he needs
no commendation at our hands. We
hope our citizens , who have liberally

crowd the Opera Hall and thus in a
Measure reimburse Prof. Webster for
lis heavy losses heretofore. Tickets will

IN TROUBLE AGAIN While intoxi

cnocked around like an old shoe , and
hen arrested for assault and battery.
3ut that's what whiskey does for a man
every time. It knocks a man down and
hen kicks him for falling , and the best
way to keep out of trouble , the surest
ueans of avoiding such treatment , is to
ot liquor and saloons severely alone.

Upon all three appearances of tha
Jay Sirarns Combination in our city , the
first of this week , the Opera Hall was
well filled , and the various plays present

THETRAVELERS INSURANCE COM
PANY began business in April , 1864. and
is still managed by the men who started
it. It is not only the oldest , largest and
strongest Accident .Company in America
but the only one of any considerable
size. Its Cash Assets have steadily in
creased year by year , and now reach
$7.82G,000the liabilities being $5,879 ,
000leaving a surplus ta policy-holders
of $1,947,000. It ha ? written nearly
1,100OOQ General Accident Policies ,
and paid cash benefits to over one in nine
of the insured , amounting to over
$7,300,000. No better or surer invest
ment of the small sum required ean be
made than in a Yearly Accident Policy
in THE TRAVELERS , which secures the
principal sum event of accidental
deathor- weekly indemnity for injury
causing total disability and loss of
time. Any agent will write a policy at
short notice. R. S. COOLEY , Acent ,

The fact tlrat tbe devil himself once
displayed great aptitude for scriptural
quotation , is perhaps not more remark
able for sublime gall , than the prating
of the prohibito-republican editor of the
Democrat about political honor , con
sistency , etc. , ad naufeum. Does it
sound wanly for an alleged republican ,
who is running a so-called bourbon sheet
to harp about political honor ? How
much confidence does an individual ,
pompous and important though he may
be in carriage and demeanor , inspire
who once run a prohibUioa paper in
bleeding Kansas , hut who now edits ,
with the liberal use of scissors and the
resurrection of ancient chestnuts and
dressing them in an ostensible garb of
originality , a saloon dodger , with spec
ial departments for the rest of the trio
women and cards. To thoughtful ,
honest people such a character for po
litical integrity must appear noble in
deed. Or is the real elegant , display of
cheek most to be admired ?
