THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. June 25, 189b. TOE mm GOVERNOR SPEAKS (Continued from first page.) wise a motion instructing tbe treasurer to purchase $35,000 Boyd county bonds adopted April 13, 1890, does not insure the early employment of that arnouHt of the state's idle school fund, As far as I am informed, no further steps have been taken in the matter. ACTION 18 WHAT IS WANTED. What is desired is the present invest ment of this fund and not contracts to invest it at some remote or uncertain period in the future. Such agreements to purchase do not insure the invest ment of this idle fund, for the large sums are constantly being paid in which may be employed to meet these coutructs, leaving the present enormous fund un disturbed. It is no defense to say that more of this fund has been invested, if such is the tbe case, than ever heretofore during the same period, for the reason that it is in cumbent on the board to keep this entire fund invested at all times. Neglect to do bo is a failure to comply with the law. It is a matter of no consequence to me which member of the board may be in strumental in securing the investment of any part of the1 fund. I consider it my duty to exert every effort to secure the investment of this fund, as provided by few, and I shall not discontinue my ef forts until the state is realizing interest on every dollar of these funds. In conclusion, let me eay that, Hot withstanding all that has been said or may be said, the fact yet remainsin the figures of the treasurer, that on the20th day of Juno, the year of grace 185)0, there is in the state treasury fSO'10.007. 93 of these trust funds lying idle and un invested upon which the state is realiz ing not one cent, and her school children are thus deprived of handsome revenue which in all good conscience should be honestly invested at the best rates ob tainable for their benefit.

Fellow members and guewts, we are hre todav to celebrate our 2otn anni versary. On the lOtth of June 1871 eighteen German farmers, of Douglas, Sarpy and Washiugtou counties held their first regular meeting at the resi dence of John Maack.of Douglas county. They adopted a constitution and elected officers for a Mutual Fire Insur ance Corn pany. Henry Eicke was elected president and it was him that worked hard to start the Company. Mutual confidence and honesty of the offbers from the beginning of the com pany until now has made what it is to day. Today there are forty four such Mut uals in the state of Nebraska. The old line companies are getting un easy about it as they can't draw our money any more as premium out of the state to the east They have tried hard in past sesMiotis of the legislature to change the Mutual insurance law in the way that we would be unable to exist any longer (as a com pany.) They will try it again next win ter if we don't send the right man to the legislature. I hope that our company may live in peace and harmony for a long time to come. Gentlemen what is your further pleasure. MinuteB of last annual meeting read and approved. Treasurer's report read nnd found correct. Expense for the year $231.25 including loss of $ 10.00 balauce on hand $8,403.38 The following directors were elected viz. Henry Deuker, C'laus Seivers, Henry Eicke, Carlton Ronwer, George Plum back, Henry Uaaheaud H. C. Glissmann. No assessment last year or this. Next annual meeting at Elkhorn sec ond Saturday in June 1897. C. H. DeNKER, Sec. After the meeting all enjoyed them selves as Germans can when they go after fun. They drank beer and danced until Sunday. Long may the German Mutual live. REPORT OF NEMAHA COUNTY MUTUAL FIRE AND LIGHTNING INSURANCE CO. Organized Julv 13, 1894.

I tell you it makes the officers feel good to know how the members are loyal to their promises if every member should pay inside of thirty days there would be no use of an old line company Bending their road agents into the field. Ih a recent discussion of the supreme court it was held that the word "cash" in section 8, chapter 33, loans of 1891 means "current money" only. Hence no company is authorized to take notes. This decision will not effect either of our companies, as we have never taken any notes. But it does effect at least one Horace Hill of Superior has a badly wwollen hand.

Oregon Election Returns The official returns as made out by the republican county clerks in Oregon are as follows: FIRST DIBTRICT.

Section 17 of same statute provides that mutual insurance companies must make a report in January of each year to the auditor. Last January over forty companies complied and all but one re ceived their certificate of authority from Auditor Moore. He withheld the cer tificates from the Farmers Mutual In surance company of Nebraska for the reason that he considered that they were not doing business in accordance with the letter of the law. The company brought an action in supreme court to compel the auditor to issue them a certificate. They were ac cepting notes as payment for member ship fees on which the court held as above and further that the auditor is not confined to the report of the com pany and that the writ must be denied. The company will now have to either collect the cash on the notes now in their possession or return them to the maker and cancel the insurance. The auditor's construction is that the man who insures in auy mutual com pany must pay the fees for the same in cash at the time he signs the application. LATER. In our cyclone assessment we havo paid one half of the losses. Just think of it. In twelve days from time assess ment was sent out, one-half the amount is paid in and paid to those who need it. We hope all members will respond man fully and thus put the lie to the road agents of old line companies who are telling that our company is "bushed." Only three members have cancelled. We have added one hundred and five mem bers since the storm. Thus it will be seen that we are not going to pieces ex cept as all good members would like to have us go. We want agents m every community Fire department is coming to the front and will soon be in the field to do valiant work where there is no local company. turn while driving down the bill just east of that town tbe harness broke and the horse took fright and at once be came unmanageable. Mrs. Caldwell wus thrown out of the buggy and received injuries from which she died in a short time. A little girl who was with her at the time was not hurt. The central committee of the people's party of the fifth congressional district, will meet at Holdrege today for the pur pose of naming the time and place for holding the congressional convention. Hastings will bid for it. A Mr. Boyd of Roseland township says he will have about three hundred bush els of peaches this year. Nearly one inch of rain fell here Sun day morning between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock. Professor Jonesarrived in the city yes terday looking hale and hearty. The professor will remain a few days visit ing friends. We were visited yesterday by another good rain and it can now be said that small grain inthis county is assured and will make the farmers all feel like sing ing, "there's no place like a hornet in Adams county, Nebraska. The republican county convention met at the court house in this city on the 13th ihst for the purpose of selecting delegates to state and representative conventions, The convention was a very tame affair and was distressingly silent along the lines of the platform and candidates of the. St. Louis conven tion. From anything they said or did you could not have told that the party show at St. Louis had ever taken place. From a party who has visited a num ber of the counties in the 5th congres sional. district we gather a few facts con cerning the probable condition of the people s independent party. Several of the counties have favorite sons which they would be pleased to honor with the nomination for that exalted and honor able position. Among the counties hav- ng favorite sons, are Kearney, I'nelps, Cluv and Gosper, so far as heard from. But upon close inquiry the fact devel opes that all eyes are turned towards Adams county. She is expected to fur nish the candidate for the reform ele ments in the district. The universal and commonly expressed opinion is that the free coinage advocates of all parties must get together this year if success shall crown our efforts aud the belief is firmly expressed that the man who can unite all the reform forces, is Professor Wm. A. Jones of Adams county. We de sire to state that the people in Adams county, regardless of party, take a great pride in recommending Trotessor Jones to the voters of this district as a man in everyway qualinea lor tne nign nonor of representing them in the councils 01 the nation, and we are confident that with Professor Jones as our candidate this year, victory is almost a foregone conclusion. He has all the qualities of head and heart which makes him pecu liarly the man for the place. He is broad, liberal and patriotic, truly an American in his make up and if elected to congress will not be registered as nothing for the issue of bonds for the Belmonts and the Rothschilds, but on the contrary will be found fighting the battle of the people against all kinds of encroachments that tend to the servility of the American peo ple. With Jones as our candidate, the present incumbent will be out 01 a 10D on the fourth of next March. Mrs. J. M. D. Hard Time in Illinois. Monmouth, Illinois, June 27, 1890. Ed.

I think it is the best thing that ever happened for the pops. One of our bankers made tbe remark a few days ago that when this government would not pay them their interest on their bonds in gold they would leave the country with their money inside of sixty days. , I hope the day will come when the is suing of money is taken out of the hands of the' banks and put in tbe hands of our government. I have not made $300 in the last two years. I never saw the times so bard. I know some good, strong men going from farm to farm of fering to work for their board and could not get that.
