I had hoped to get all collected and ' paid out before the state alliance but I presume that that will not be tne case unless the members stir up those of their neighbors who are yet delinquent ,.- Some of the loes that I adjusted by mail after I eamo homo had complaints filed against them and a'o one that I , adjusted by meeting a man in towo. I presume I will bo under obligations to reduce the amount of damage of some tw or three men as their claim is excessive. We have another class of men who have awakened now since they have re oelved their notice of assessment and lay claim for damage and promise that they will call their claim square ani not pay any assessment. If these members had been reading the insurance department they would have known just what and how to do. All who refuse to pay will have their names sent out to over 1,400 numbers. I hope not one will get tills free adver tisement, i J We have done the best we knew how to do with our bands tied as they were. All our members have an experience that will do us all good If a permanent company is organized next year. CYCLONE. Tho Cyclone company Is still grow ing, even this cold weather when some people think that wind does no damage. FIRE AND LIGHTNING. Since the law took effect, viz: Aug ust 1, 1891, there have been thirty-two farm mutual companies incorporated which means that not less than 15,000. 000 have been insured in the mutuals thereby saving to the members thous ands o( dollars. There is a movement on foot to or ganize a c imp tny with three depart ments, viz: Fire and lightning, cy- , clone, and hail, with each department entirely independent oi me otners. This would save the necessity of more than one set of officers, etc., etc This will be considered at the meet ing on the evening bafore the state alliance. I hope to meet several men who are Interested in this subject. Prof. D. S. Dusenburv has bought tho Alliance Herald of Nelson, and become its editor-in-chief with G.

The TThUfcr Carportloa'( tttreatora K pi a la the Koeaat DUtUl rr Purchase. - " New York, Dec. II. At the quarterly meeting of the directors of tbe Dis tilling and Cattle Feeding company at the new dab to-day it was announced that the price of whisky had been ad vanced the past week ten cents pei gallon, and the directors prepared a cir cular announcing' tbe purchase of tbe Star and Crescent distilleries at Pekin, 111., the Nebraska City distillery of Nebraska City. Neb., and the Central distillery of St Louis, aggregating- a capacity of about 10,000 bushels per day. In defense of this they said: Early in the reason your board be came satisfied that the situation of government finances would render in evitable an agitation in congress dur ing; the present session fur an in creased tax on spirits, and in view thereof we decided that the purchase of distilleries named would greatly in ure to the profit of the company. This strong1 reason for the departure from the settled policy is not one that is likely again soon to rise, and it is not necessary for the company to increase its prop erty holdings, nor is it the desire of the board to do so. The extraordinary demand for goods which we are now experiencing and which bids fair to continue, in our opinion, furnish a complete justification to that board for its action in this instance in re versing the established policy of the company in respect to the purchase of distilleries. The reduction of dividends pot tbe company in financial condition to these purchases without the issuance of new stock or the creation of other bonds. The profits of the company will, in the opinion of the board, ena ble it not only speedily to restore its surplus after paying therefrom for those distilleries, but to ' add very greatly thereto. THE OPTION BILL UP. Sir. George Speaks First on the Measure Treasury Investigation Ordered. Washington, Dec. 14. After bills on various topl.s had been introduced in the senate to-day, Mr. Daniel of fered a resolution calling on the civil service commissioners for a succinct Statement of the government positions inside or outside of the civil service rules, the methods of ap . and examination the of each state, hi led or ,cunt. und what positions were open to ap pointment outside of the civil service rules, the purpose being to secure in a compact form in formation for the use of those desiring to enter the civil service. In explana tion Mr. Daniel made some remarks and presented a communication ad dressed to himself by Commissioner Lyman, which was read. The resolu tion went over without action. The consideration of the anti-option bill was resumed at 2 o'clock and Mr. George addressed the se nate. House. Washington, Dec. 1. The attend ance in the house to-day was small.' Mr. Catchings, of Mississippi, from the rules committee, reported back favorably the resolution offered by Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, direct ing the committee on ways and means to inquire into and report on tne present condition of the treasury and the future probable revenues under existing laws. It was adopted. IT . WASN'T A CRISP CROWD. ConffreMraan Tom Jolinsou on the Ke- form Club Dlnuor Incident. Ci.evki.and, Dec. 15, Congressman Pom L. Johnson, who passed through here last evening on a business trip to Louisville and St. Louis, asked in re gard to the alleged insult to Speaker Crisp at the Reform club banquet in .New York said: "It wasn t mucii oi a Crisp crowd. but no insult or snub was intended, llie speak er was invited to the ban quet, but was not Invited to speak, und it was never announced that he was to be one of the speakers He did not leave the banquet earner than many others. In fact, the speeches were short and the banquet was concluded at a comparatively early hour. 1 spoke at about 11 o'clock. There were more calls for Wilson to speak than for Crisp, but neither of them were called upon to speak. 1 certainly don't think any in sult was intended, but if there was any such intention I had no knowledge of it and have no idea that Speaker Crisp blames me. He is an elegant gentleman, a magnetic fellow whom any one who knows must like." "Will there be any opposition to Speaker Crisp's re-election?" "1 do not Know, Out 1 nope there will. I believe that if Crisp is re-elected the finance committee will be con tinued about as it is now, and 1 don't think that is the kind of a committee wanted by the great majority of the Democratspf the country."

Condon't Eoormoni Fasiiepg-er Traffic Statistics show the number of pas sengers can ied by steam within the area of the British metropolis in a sin gle year does not fall short of 827,000, 000. Next come the tramways, or horse cars, which transport in a year no fewer than 191,000,000 passengers. The omnibuses are credited with car rying at least 200,000,000. There still remain the riders in cabs and the pat rons of the river steamers. Including these, the number of passengers mov ed from place to place in some form of public conveyance is estimated at about 777,000,00'.
