During the last presidential cam

that free silver coinage did not mean
the free distribution of silver coin u.
Now the same people who were, be
fuddled by the free coinage catch

free when the new tariff free list is
put into effect. The folks who are
always on the lookout for Eomethio

Stealing; Oar Willows.
- A gang of men are rapidly stripping
the bar in front of the depot today of
the willows for rip rapping purposes.
This should be stopped at once, as the
willows furnish fuel for poor people
here during the winter. The railway
company can get plenty of willows at
other points, and the authorities
should lose no time in putting a stop
to the destruction of the willows so
near town.
Kiictrte Bitten.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
erally needed when the languid, ex
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and' sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alterative is felt
A prompt use of this medicine has
often abated long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric
Bitters. 50c and SI per bottle at F. G.

Why 0alte Are Popular.
It is well known that the pressure for
consulates is greater than for any other
class of o luces. Various causes conmD-
ntA to this desire to so abroad. Repre
sentative Hitt thinks he has the true
theory. "It is the women folks, " be
BUYS. " You know how it is. Brown or
Jones or Smith, when he has means
and leisure, likes to take his family
abroad. When they come back, his wife
and dansrhters are filled with their ex
periences. The whole town is fired with
emulation.
Nnw. John Jones mav not have the
means to take his family to Europe,
but he has influence In politics, wnen
the poliitical wheel turns and his party
nn. he looks around to see what the
reward for his services shall be. Left to
himself, he would probably be content
with the nostoffice. But his wife and
daughters have had to listen to what
the Brown women or the Smith women
say of life abroad, and, womenlike,
they have listened with envy and with
a fixed purpose some day to enjoy those
experiences for themselves. So, instead
of letting John Jones ask for the post
offioe, they insist that he must be a con
sul somewhere. Their ideas may be a
little indefinite about the nature and
duties of a consul's office, but they
know it means going abroad, and that
is enough for them.
So John 'Jones makes out his applica
tion to be consul general to Paris and
writes his congressman that, while
Paris is his first choice, he will take
something equally good, but it must be
abroad. And thus, ' says Represen tative
Hitt "are the lives of congressmen
made a burden for the first six months
after a new administration comes into
power. By that time the consulates are
all disposed of, and the disappointed
applicants can return to the postofficea. "
New York Tribune.
London and Its IJons.
London docs its lionizing in such a
very original fashion that there is no
telling in pdvruce whether a visitor
will be ignored or "taken up." We
make a tremendous fuss over some sec
ond rate celebrity who excels only in
blowing his own trumpet, while the
real empire makers are sometimes al lowed
to come and go unnoticed. For
solid and well planned progress achieved
with the most limited resources there
has been nothing since the days of Clive
to beat that of the Niger company. The
last little campaign against the Fou
lahs virtually decided the question of
supremacy over a population estimated
at 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 of the most
warlike of African natives and a coun
try of immense potentialities. The vic
tory was achieved by a few hundreds
of black troops led by a handful of Eng
lish officers. It was as significant in its
way as Plassey, but when the organizer
of victory, Sir George Goldie, reached
London a few lines in small type on an
inside page of The Times were all that
he got We do not regret this. Neither,
we are sure, does Sir George Goldie. It
is better to let things develop quietly in
that part of the world. But when one
recollects the gazettes and medals and
distinctions devoted to comparatively
unimportant skirmishes in India and
elsewhere it raises queer ideas as to our
national discrimination.- London Sat
urday Review.
Old Sumptuary Lswi.
Mr. Burdett-Coutts, M. P., in an ad
drees delivered before the English Uni
versal Cookery and Food association,
called attention to the sumptuary laws
of the fifteenth century. Then it was
enacted that, food being necessary to
the sustenance of man, the seller had no
right to ask his own price, but it was
the duty of the state to fix it In the
same century equal supervision was ex
ercised over cooks. .They were ordered
to make their meat "well seasoned and
wholesome and sell it for a reasonable
winning, and that they reboil or rebake
no meat in hurt of the king's people."
The mayor of a town in those days, up
on entering office, was obliged to swear
that he would exercise vigilant super
vision over bakers, brewers, tavern
keepers, cooks and such people. This
was no perfunctory oversight but tho
official exercised his authority with
great severity in cases where cooks end
dealers in food and drink failed of their
duty.
Too Bad.
Of course they were both dear friends
of the girl under discussion. Feminine
critics are always dear friends of the
ones they criticise.
"She has such a lovely disposition,"
said the first dear friend.
"And she is such a brilliant talker,"
said the second dear friend.
"She is getting a little old," said the
first dear friend, " but I see no reason
why she shouldn't get married, provid
ed" "Yes?" said the second dear friend
inquiringly.
''provided," continued ' the first
dear friend, with an air of deep concern,
"she ever meets a blind man."
"Yes. Isn't it too bad?" returned the
second dear friend. Chicago Post

One who accustoms himself to think
of pure and holy things, who Bets his
affections on things above and strives
to reach whatever things are lovely, will
grow upward toward the things he loves
and thinks upon. But one who lets his
mind turn habitually to debasing
things, things unholy, unclean, sens&al,
will find his whole soul bending do-award
and growing toward the earth

The company is one of the most re
liable in its class writing business in
the state of Nebraska. It has stood
the crucial test of investigation by
the Insurance departments of the
states of Nebraska, Iowa, and Wiscon
sin, and is vouched for by the depart
ments for solvency, intelligent and
economical management, prompt set
tlement of death claims, and scrupu
lous fidelity in the investment cf sur
plus, which is deposited w:th the
auditor of the state of Iowa as a sacred
trust.
November 16, 1895, Hon. Wra. A.
Fricke, Commissioner of Insurance of
the state of Wisconsin, caused an ex
amination of the company to be made,
verifying annual statement Decem
ber 31, 1894, and the books of record
and account and financial condition'
to October 31, 1895. From the report
of the Wisconsin Examiner, published
in Wisconsin Insurance Ueport, 1896,
pa: t 2, Life and Casualty; paces 773,
775 the following excerpts are taken:
'"Herewith I havo tho honor to sub
mit report of examination of ILe af
fairs of the Northern Life Association
of Marshalltown, Iowa.
The examination was made as of
October 31, 1895, and verifies annual
statement of December 31, 1894.
"The association had no liabilities of
any kind on the date of examination.
Certificate is submitted herewith
showing the company had in securi
ties deposited with the auditor of
state of Iowa $57,564. A mortgage
was exhibited .amounting to $4,4u0
that had been withdrawn from tie

ing same on receipt of payment, which
makes total invested in securities$01,

town State bank is submitted here
with, showing the company had on de
posit on October 31, $9,724.10. A cer
tificate from the same bank is also en
closed showing company had on de
posit December 31, 1894, $11,793.05.
"All claims are paid on same day
that proper proof of death are re
ceived, and on date of the examina
tion there were no claims for death
losses unpaid.
"I he affairs of the association are
in a prosperous condition, and the
membership is increasing rapidly,
amounting at the present time to
about 3,500., Respectfully submitted,
A. F. Tim me. Examiner."
In August, 1896, the auditor of state,
Nebraska, having supervision of in
surance companies operating in the
state, caused an examination to be
made of the company, and the follow
ing is a partial result of tho findings:
"Proceeding under your letter of
authority, July 24,1890, your examiner
made a thorough and complete exami
nation into the affairs, method of op
erating and financial condition of the
Northern Life Association of Marshall
town, Iowa, verifying annual state
ment of December 31, 1895, and bring
ing examination down to the close of
business July 31, 1896. Every item of
receipt and expenditure was rigidly
scrutinized and the membership rec
ords checked and verified."
"The organization of the association
was first completed at a meeting held
May 20, 1882, articles of incorporation
which had previously been prepared
were read and adopted the associa
tion incorporated as the Iowa Knights
of Pythias Insurance association with
the following officers: Byron A.
Beeson, president; E. S. Lemert, vice
president; E. H. Hibben, secretary;
Julius Pappe, treasurer.
"At a special meeting held at the
home ofliee August 26, 1891, the cor
porate name of the association was
changed to the Northern Fraternal
Insuranco Association of Marshall
town, Iowa; this step being rendered
necessary under the decree of the Su
preme Lodge Knights of Pythias, for
bidding local or state associations
using the words "Knights of Pythias"
in connection with any insurance
plan. The officers of the Iowa com
pany prom ply and gracefully ac
quiesced in the edict of the Supreme
lodge, and under the new name and
plan proceeded to acquire a more sub
substantial membership in the larger
field opened to them outside of Pythian
ranks. The articles of incorporation
were again amended at a special
meeting held July 3, 1895, the name
changed to Northern Life association of
Marshalltown, Iowa, and a more
liberal and intelligent system of life
underwriting adopted.
"E. H. Hibben, secretary and gen
eral manager, the prime mover in the
original organization, has served in
the capacity of secretary since 1882
and still continues to discharge the
duties of that important position, the
title of general manager being added
in June 1S86. To his fidelity and com
plete knowledge of life insurance un
derwriting in every detail, the asso
ciation is indebted for its solid.growtb.

December 31, 1865 to $60,164.00 and on
Junly 31, 1895 to $65,614.00. Not one
dollar of liability existed at either
date and the amount of invested as
sets were acquired by economical

death rate for 1895, associations ex
perience, 4.5, showing the care exer
cised in the selection of risks. The
same experience has been realized for
a series of years past, the death rate
being: '91, 4.5; '92, 6; '93, a 3; 94, 6.3;
while the average age was not ma
terially changed. Ou December 31,
1895, the total amount of insurance in
force was $6,617,500. or an average
of $1,796.49 to each certificate, and the
total amount written January 1 to
July 31, 1896, was 832 certificates, agre
gating $1,520,000, or an average of
$1826.91 to each certificate. The
growth is healthy, and represents an
exceptionally desirable class of risks.
The exhibit covering full description
of invested assets forwarded herewith
discloses that the security conveyed
is farm property in the most fertile
and most prosperous counties of the
state of Iowa; the property being val
ued at from two and one-half times to
four times the amount of the mort
gage, and that most of the loans are
negotiated by the Nuw England Loan
and Trust company, and by them as
signed to the Northern Life Associa
tion under a . guaranty covering
prompt payment of both interest and
principal at maturity. The ' New
England Loan and Trust company is
one of the most conservative Invest
ment companies making farm loans,
and has never defaulted in any guar
anty given by its officers. That the
invested securities are choice is evi
denced by the fact that not one penny
in interest was past due at either per
iod covered In this examination. The
exhibit verifying amount expended in
payment of death claims is of interest
as an exhibit of the promptness in the
payment of the amount due the de
ceased members beneficiary. In 1895
17 claims were liquidated and to 31st of
July, 1890, 10 claims were liquidated.
and at neither time was there an un
liquidated death claim for which the
company was liable, or of which the
home office had notice. So anxious
are the officers to have the necessities
of the beneficiaries relieved that the
