STATE FAIR.
We have received letters from a num
ber of the prominent mutual "insuranco
men of this state saying that they would
be at the state fair. We will have bead
quarters id a tent in "newspaper row"
with the Nebraska Independent. We
will be theiefrom Monday afternoon un
til Thursday. On Wednesday night we
will have a meeting at some place down
town. (I will try to let you know next
week in this department.)
I will here outline an order of business:
Address by the president covering the
historv of mutual insurance in Nebraska;
an address by the secretary giving in de
tail the object and benefits to be derived
from an association of all the mutual in
onrnnna cnmnanies in the state. Discus
sion.
The following topics will also be
brought up for discussion. 1st the mean
ing of the two-thirds clause, of section
8 of our mutual insurance law. 2nd, if
man Iorrh a tmrt of his horses by
lightning should his policy be reduced to
f-nrrennond with the amount he receives
for damage done. If so, why? 3d, what
in meant bv mutual insurance 4th, is
than Anv definite rule bv which we can
ascertain whether an animal was killed
by lightning? If so what is the rule. 5th
W'hn should we suRKort for auditor and
attorney-general, and why? 6th, do we
ti1 our present law changed? II so
what change should we make? If not
nrinnld we use our instrumentality in
. nassinir a town mutual insurance law?
7th, is the present report that is sent out
by the state auditor, lor annual reports
, iin i 1. A. ;
satisfactory to an: u dot, wnai im
provements should we recommend.
I presume that the above is enough
for three days' work, however, if a num
ber of companies are present all will
learn the benofit to be derived from the
meeting of representatives of different
companies. When you come to the fair
vronnd. come right to our tent, sit in
our cushioned chairs, and proceed to put
vour feet on our table at once, ana make
yourself at home generally. If you can't
tome to the fair, and are particularly in
forested in anv one or all of these sub
jects, a communication from you is de
sired. If you desire to reach us auy time
after Mondav of fair week, address in
care of Claus Seivers, Omaha, Nebraska.
We are particularly desirous that every
member of our company take this paper
from this time until the election, hence
we ask you to get np a club of ten or
raore members at tea cents a piece.
Single subscription fifteen cents.
REPORT.
The Lancaster county company is now
nearly five years old, the cost to the
members of the mpany who have been
. members since the company was organ
ized has been membership fee $1.50, as
sessment No. 1, $1,00, assessment No. 2
$.50, assessment No. 3, $2.25, assess
ment No. 4, just now being sent out,
$1.59 per thousand dollars, total cost
per thousand dollars insurance, for five
years, $0.75 or about one-third what it
would have cost in any stock company.
Assessments No. 3 and 4 both occur
ring this year, will seem rather high for
those who have lately come into the com
pany this is the highest amount that
bas been paid during uu iui
four years, and yet, it falls short of the
amount of the average annual payment
of stock companies rate.
We hope that every company luui
comes to Omaha will give a report of
their business for five years after the
above fashion. '

political ideas entertained by Mr. Kirk

the polls in November which they richly
merit, it recognizes, with other residents
of the county, who enjoy the personal ac
quaintance of that gentleman, his ster

standing in the legal profession of which
he has been an honored member for so
many years, and as citizens and former

been so signally honored, and the party

one of the old landmarks in Custer coun

as a man of unimpeachable integrity,

admiration, and whose legal attain
