THE BEST ASSORTMENT Of EARLY SPRING STOGK or BRY GOODS dfelST ARRIVEB. The British Safety Principle of Life Insurance Improved and Implied in America by- The Fidelity Mutual Life Association. ~"N BRITAIN, life insurance is from two to three times older than It Is in America. It Is recognized as a distinct science. While the British System is good, has stood the test of nearly three centuries, the saftety feature adopted by the FIDELITY, known aa the "FOUsE SYSTEM," is superior. It assumes FIRST! That values of real estate, railroad securities, government and corporate secur ities of all kinds, cannot be fixed or guaranteed by law, and that, therefore, it is unscientific, improper, and in many cases fatal, to fix a reserve by law as a test of solvency, represented by securities the value of which fluctuates, is un certain, not fixed, or guaranteed by law. 8BCOND: That the rate of interest varies in proportion to the fluctuation in the values of securities, and it is, therefore, wrong in principal and absurd in practice to fix by law the value of policies, based on a certain rate of interest, with penalty attached, that if the reserve, through depreciation of securities, or decline in rate of interest, become impaired, the company must stop business, and go into the hands of a receiver. THIRD: That the past insurance experience furnishes the best possible basis of deter mining the future cost, ana that life insurance companies should collcct no more money in advance from policy-holders than past insurance experience shows to be necessary to enable them to discharge their obi illations. FOURTH: That there can be no absolute security afforded under a policy contract if both the premium and amount payable thereunder are fixed and predetermlnated without any provision to meet variable conditions. Hence. THE FIDELITY MUTUAL LIFE ASSOCIATION writes a policy for a definite sum, collects in advance a premium based on past insurance experience, and reserves the right through its "safety clause" to call upon members to make good any impairment of its mortuary fund. This in addition to affording a large saving in premiums payable in advance, guarantees or insures the insurance, renders the security r- absolute. THEREFORE. THE FIDELITY MUTUAL LIFE ASSOCIATION is not an old line company nor an assessment company in the usual sense of the term. It embraces the strong points of both, whilst eliminating their weaknesses. Its system is a protest against the old as well as a refutation of haphazard rates. J9F~ it presents to the world a record of seventeen year's magnificent business a ratio of assets to liability showing a surplus strength greater than that of any other company, with one of the greatest actuaries in America at its head. Is sues every desirable form of policy incontestible, non-forfeltable, accurate and equitable surrender privileges.

TOWNS'8 ORE AT EFFORT. It Established His Reputation as a Thinker. Detroit, Mich., Journal: Rep resentative Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota, made his maiden speech in the house on Saturday last, and long before his hour had expired, he had established a reputation as an able thinker and an eloquent orator that few members have ever enjoyed, no matter how long had been their service in congress. During the entire hour he held the closest attention of every member of the house and every visitor in the crowded galleries. He spoke for free coinage of silver, and without any notes, and no man has spoken during the long de bate who handled his subject with more intelligence or elo quence, or who has been less embarrassed by the continual questions and interruptions that so frequently "break up" many men less accustomed to public speaking. As Mr. Towne closed the house rang again and again with the applause from mem bers and visitors alike, and the ovation that was accorded the young member far exceeded any giyen to any member who has spoken in the present congress. Members of all parties and all ages, from the house leaders down to the most obscure mem bers, crowded around his desk and insisted on shaking his hand and offering their congratula tions to the brilliant orator, whether or not they agreed with his sentiments. Again and again the chairman rapped and pleaded for order, which he was not able to obtain foi many min utes. "That was by far the ablest and best speech of the session "Best argument I ever heard for free silver "That man has ful ly established a reputation as a great orator and an able think er." and many other similar re marks were freely heard in the press gallery, as well as among the members and all who heard the specch. With the interest she still finds in her former citizen, and his political success, Michigan can but take great pride in Charley Towne's great effort. OX TO RED LAKE. Reservation Settler* Beginning to Ar rive There. Crookston, Minn., Feb. 13.— The anticipated rush of settlers upon the Red Lake lands is al ready beginning to warrant pre dictions which shall reach the magnitude of an Oklahoma boom. Although nearly three months distant, the matter is at tracting widespread attention. Hundreds of letters of inquiry are received daily from intend ing settlers asking information. Not alone this, but the move has actually begun.] With the mercury several not ches below zero and a run of sleighing which makes lumber men happy, genuine canvas cov ered schooners are winding along the praifrie roads and in and out among the timber patches of Eastern Polk county with the Red Lake reservation as their objective point. THE COUNTY ROAD. John Owens Greatly In Favor of It—What Ho Has to May, John Owens has been working up the county road matter, and Saturday morning he gave a few facts to a Duluth Herald man about the project. "Few realize" he said, the importance of devel oping our agricultural resources, and in my opinion this road plan is just what is needed to get at the bottom and build up back of us a farming district which will add greatly to the value of the community and cheapen and bet ter our living. Thousands of carloads of hay, vegetables, and dairy products are shipped into Duluth annually from a distance for consumption. For thisc the people of St. Louis county pay in addition to lirst charges, heavy freights. This money all goes to other cities and is spent outside. "If we afford our agricultural possibilities an opportunity to develope, we can raise every pound of this stuff ourselves, and instead of sending our mon ey away, it will stay right ip the county. Then, when a m$n buys a pound of butter or a bunch of celery, he can feel that instead of paying bis money away he is contributing to build up the county. Every dollar produced from the soil is a dollar added to the wealth of this community. Our climate and soil are both ad mirably adapted to this. Now, let me tell you what this proposed county road means. St. Louis county has 4,231,520 acres of area, of which 495,674 acres is water. Of the land, 60 per cent is good tillable soil and the larg er part of the remainder will make good pasture land when cleared. The question is to get this land settled, when we can reap the benefits, The way to do it is to first tap these tillable acres with a good wagon road, such as is proposed, to connect Duluth with the ranges. We pay out $6,500,000 annually in the county for the products that should be raised right here add to this $1,000,000 for the vessel trade and the amount is worth considering. "If we had the $250,000 given to the Duluth, Missabe & North ern we could build 250 miles of good roads, and that would mean the opening up for farming of 320,000 acres of land, for each mile of road opens up 1240 acres of land for a mile back on each side, to say nothing of the land back of that. Allowing each farmer 160 acres, that means 2, 000 farmers and a population of 10,000. "The market for these farm products will be the best the worid. Ia the handling of iron ore alone $3,500,000 to $4,000,000 iu wages will be paid out in cash this year. Much of that would be spent with these farmers. It now costs $15 to ship a cow to town by rail and $25 to jship a team. With the road these ani mals could be driven up easily. Supplies of all kinds could be driven up cheaply by wagon. "Last year the head of the lakos received 3132 cars 6f hay, worth $281,880 dollars 1998 cars of vrheat, worth $2,037,600 and 1392 cars of vegetables, worth $250,560. This should all be raised in this county. Last year the Duluth & Iron Range handl ed $30,000 in hay, $20,000 in veg etables, and the Duluth, Missube & Northern carried $33,000 in all, making $83,000 last year, all of which could have gone cheap cheaply by wagon road if there had been one. "Every day the head of the lakes receives 1800 to 2000 gal lons of milk by train, all of which could have come from St Louis county. "The railroads will oppose the idea." Mine Workers' Progressive Union. Robert Askew, of Ishpeming, president of the Northern Min eral Mine Workers' Progressive Union, has been in the city dur ing the past week, and on Sun day next will hold a .meeting in the Finnish Temperance hall at 2:30 o'clock p. m., for the pur pose of organizing a local union of the society in this city. The objects of the Union were briefly set forth in the columns of The Enterprise last week, and we believe Mr. Askew will suc ceed in organizing a healthy branch of the Union here. He will organize local unions in the various Mesaba towns, after which he goes to the Ver mi lion on the same mission. BoU Out. no. L. Cusick was suddenly called from the city on Wednes day, doubtless permanently, and sold the outfit of the popuiar Columbia Cafe to Mr. fl J. Fin ney, who has associated with himself Mr. A. Potvin, in the conducting of the business un der the firm name of H. J. Fing ney & Co. The new proprietors propose, by right dealing, to bring the business of the place back to its former condition. The new proprietors took charge of the place yesterday and are always open to engagement in providing for the hungry. Library Entertainment. The entertainment by local tal ent at Crockett's Opera House on Tuesday evening1 last for the benefit of the Free Library, was given a justly deserved ovation* by a crowded house, and the au dience repeatedly expressed it's appreciation of the several num bers of the program by hearty encores. Each number on the well pre pared program denoted the un tiring efforts of a master hand, and to Miss Hobhouse, on whom devolved the major portion of such work, is due much credit. The entertainment netted the Association a neat sum. Virginia Iron Works. W. J. White has ^associated with himself John Stein, a prac tical machinist, and under the above name the firm will soon launch anew enterprise,*a build ing, 24x36, for the accommoda tion of which, is now in course of construction on the rear of the lot occupied by Mr. White's car riage and blacksmith shop. A most excellent field for such an industry is furnishedjby Virginia and its environs, and we trust the new firm may meet with un qualified success. Hotel Oprning. The Enterprise scribe acknowl edges 'receipt of an invitation, accompanied by the compliments of the sender, to the opening of the elegant new Hotel Hibbing, tomorrow evening. A special train from Duluth, connecting with range towns, will convey the hundreds of visitors, and every preparation has been made for the entertainment of the hosts of expected guests. Facts From a Democratic Document. The Treasury Department has just issued a diagram covering the trade of this country with foreign lauds from 1881 down to, and including, 1895. It is a dem ocratic document, prepared by Democratic officials. It should be posted on every granery door on the farm of the country, and in every school district building in the land. The diagram shows plainly that the period when this country was enjoying her greatest volume of trade was un der Republican administrations, and notably during the time that the McKinley Protective Tariff was on our statute books. It shows three striking facts, First, that the volume of our domestic exports was greatest by over §100,000,000 during the two or three years immediately following the passage of the Mc Kinley act second, that the vol ume of those exports has not only rapidly diminished under the present administration, but especially since the Democratic Free-Trade Tariff act became law third, that the value of the imports free of duty was greater during the period covered by the McKinley act than at any time before or since.—American Economist. General Notes and Comments. If it happens in Virginia you will find it in The Enterprise. Rev. S. A. Blair, of Duluth, will conduct divine services in the Presbyterian church on Sun day next, February 23rd, both morning and evening. It may not be generally known but it is nevertheless a fact it is a crime to sell lottery tickets for the raffling of guns, bicycles, watches or any other articles. The penalty is punishable by a fine not exceoding $2,000, or one years imprisonment in the coun ty jail. The editor of The Enterprise cannot but feel for the editors and communicants of some of our contemporaneous sheets in their apparent solicitude relative to the future welfare of our soul. We shall endeavor, when the time comes, to have provided enough of this world's goods to at least ensure the employment of a rough-box, a hearse and a sexton in the final disposition oP our bodily remains. Charity, that virtue which covereth multitude of sins, should begin at home. Fathom the future of your own souls—if you have such—and you will have little time left to devote to the future of neighborly spirits. A fellow in a neighboring town, who could not spare $1.00 per year, says an exchange for home newspaper, sent fifty two cent stamps to a down east Yan kee to learn how to keep his horse from slobbering. He got the receipt aud he will never for get it: "To stop your horse from slobbering, teach him to spit."
