From several person in as many
counties I have inquiries, wanting to
know how to organize a county nntua!
insurance company.
I will tell you bow we are doing in
Lancaster county.
The County Alliance appointed a
committee of five to investigate the
.subject of insurance and see if we could
organize. The committee thought that
the best way would be to get up some
contingent applications and go into the
field and if we could get enough risks,
(at least 150,000) we would call together
all that were interested, the last of June,
and proceed with the organizing, which
cannot be completed until July first, as
that is the time the law takes effect. Of
course we will not try to carry cyclone
risks, but will take contingent applica
tions for a cyclone company covering
several counties or the entire state.
I did not get my applications out un
til late last Saturday and before they
were thoroughly dry I had 14,800 writ
ten, and I think that next week I can
report several thousand in risks both in
the county company and state cyclone
company.
Reports are coming In from all parte,
which show that it in almost certain
that we will not only make a success of
It, but a complete annihilation of all old
line companies on farm property, and
you may look for those soft-talking in
surance men who will show you figures
that will bewilder anyone except an
unscrupulous insurance agent Ask
him where the companies got so much
money. All over the first 150,000 (ia
almost all cases) is money taken from
the policy holders, and unless the com
pany is organized in this state It has no
security in the state. Do not insure
with them. 4 ;' ; - M
I have been told that mutuals are
short lived, in answer to which I will
say that there are mutual companies in
the United States that were organized
during the thirties, and many in the
forties, and many more in the fifties,
that are still in working order, and not
a millionaire has ever been made by a
mutual company. ,
And I am also told that stock eompa
nies break up and I am asked to explain
how it is if my theory is right, that they
are taking so much for their premiums?
President's salary, whose sole duty is
to preside at the annual meeting of the
stockholders and at the quarterly meet
ing of the board, in many cases reauir
ingone month during the year, and re
ceive in many companies $10,000, and
in some instances $25, 000, and some also
receive more than this; and next comes
the secretary, with a salary equal to
the wants of a king, and the members
of tbe board and all their relatives must
have a position. All must have good

Reuben Sipp, secretary of a mutual
company in Pawnee county writes me
that in his county the farmers pay
hnnt S30.000 for every five years in

vfturs thev have received less than
ia nnn T canvassed Cherry Creek town'
ship, Buffalo county, in the spring of
ian nH found that the farmers had
paid out in the ten years preceding
$1,672.00 and that the sum total they
had received for insurance was $6.48,
leaving a balance of $1,024 or $102.40
per annum, and as Buffalo county has
twenty-four townships, it can be seen
that the county paid an average of
$2,400 per annum more than she got in
return, and that Pawnee county'over-
' run $5,000 per annum is not putting it
too strong. There is no doubt that
Buffalo county or Pawnee county could
hire a man to run the insurance for
much less than the amount paid to
stock companies. I would like to know
why they cannot furnish the man at a
reduced salary. Fanners do not ask a
$10,000 salary and then have another
man do the work and draw pay from
the company as some presidents of in
surance companies do.
In State Auditor Benton's report
for 1888, we find that there was paid
for premiums in this state, $1,81)0,000.00
and for losses, $009,000.00, leaving a
balance in favor of the 125 companies
of $1,250,000 00.
In 1890, the premiums were $1,826,
000 00. losses, $1,128,000.00; balance,
$498,000.00, and last winter when the
farmer legislature was talking of mak
ing some wholesome laws en the sub
ject of insurance, some of the hirelings
of those companies told them that If
certain laws were passed that their com
pany should withdraw all the money
that they had loaned la the state, but
that club availed them but little as

that have carried their Insurance for

The Visit to Columbus Yesterday and
What is to be Seen in the Me
nagerie and Ring.
There was a fair attendance at the
Adam forepaugh show yesterday after
noon. At night the large canvas was
was well filled. Such crowds indicate
that the circus has lost none of its at
tractions for the masses. All classes,
all sizes, all conditions, of human
ity were represented. Governor
Campbell and a large party entered
the main tent last evening just before
the entry. A graceful compliment
was paid him by Manager Cooper, who
ordered the band to play "Hail to the
Chief." The audience gave the gover
nor considerable applause. Mayor
Karb and family together with many
leaders of society, formed large circus
parties that completely filled the re
served chair section.
From the time tbe show arrived with
its fifty cars, until Its departure at night
the best of order and discipline was
maintained. Politeness and courtesy
on the part of the neatly uniformed em
ployes was a noticeable tact, lae pa
rade was witnessed by thousands to
whom it save most excellent satisfac
tion. Everything was clean, bright and
glittering with golden decorations. The
borses were in good condition.
The menagerie was complete in its
specimens ot wild beasts. Among them
were some that nave never oeiore been
exhibited in this country, in tbe mu
seum department was a complete In
dian encampment with curiosities which
were both interesting ana instructive.
A large number of elephants ranged
through the center of the menagerie at
tracted much attention.
Tbe program was divided into three
sections under the direction of Adam
Forepaugh, jr. The entree was an im

spectacle called the Ked in wars ana re'

THE SILENT MAN.
H Had a Paw Grievance HlmMtf
But Waaitt Saying a Word.
"Ihave traveled on thiajto&d ttx
fifteen yean." said the loquacioos
to hie neighbor, "and I never
knew a train Co be on time."
The other .looked out the window,
making no answer.
"I remember riding on this road
once when it took four hours to go
seven miles," the first speaker added, j
No answer.
"It's a scandalous ontrage that the
public should be treated in this way."
No answer.
"Some day the people will rise in
their might and put a stop to such
things. It's just such insolence as
this that caused the French revolu
tion." He shook his kead savagely
And glared at a brakeman.
I'm going in town to keep an en-
eagemint at S o clock. I'll bet you
even money that I'm late."
There was no reply to this oner.
"I'll bet you two to one."
The other shook his head, giving
the first indication that he was not
deaf.
"I'll bet you two to one that I'm
half an hour late."
No; I wont bet," said the second
man.
Just then the train stopped and the
indignant passenger jerked out bis
watch.
"Ten minutes late, now!" he said.
Brakeman, what's the trouble now?"
The brakeman did not know.
"If I'm over half an hour lata I'll
sue this road for damages."
The other occupant oi the seat
smiled sadly. . '
Hang it! You're always late just
when I don't want you to be late."
The brakeman looked at him pity-
"I don't see how people tolerate it,"
the angry man went on. Then turn
ins and looking at his companion he
said fiercely:
"You don't seem to mind tnu stop
muchf"
"No," was the answer.
"Travel on this road much?"
"Yes."
"How longT"
"Every day Bince it was built."
"And yoa don't kick at this
thing?"
ISO. "....'.
"Well, you're a Job."
"My friend." said the man of the
few words, in a subdued voice, "hays
you any interest in this road, any
money invested in it, any ciaios
against it?"
no, was tne reply.
"My friend, I have had three crops
of hay burned by sparks from loco
motives on this road. I have had
three Jersey cows and a horse worth
$1,000 run down and killed by trains.
was smashed in a collision ones
and stayed in a hospital for five
months."
"Well!" gasped the first speaker.
"I have been a stockholder in this
road since the first train ran over it,
and I have never had a cent of divi
dends out of it. I wear a cork leg
since the accident. I have seven acres
of fine hay land which I never touch.
I don't dare raise any cattle. I can't
get any insurance on my life. My dear
friend, you ought to thank vour stars
that you are so fortunate."
"Stranger," said the other, "1 beg
your pardon." and then there was a
i
long silence.
