eastern counties had better take
steps to protect their fish.
Marshal Camp met with what
might have been a fatal accident

for duty for several months, conse
quently was sent to San Francisco,
where he was discharged, coming
home direct. He is not as robust
as he was before going to theislands

We have received an invitation to
be present at the Seventh Annual
Convention of the Oklahoma Live
Stock Association at Woodward, O.
T., Feb 12-14, 1 00 1. The program
is a good one and everyone who
possibly can should attend. Stock
men can certainly gain something by
being present as several very able
papers will be presented by exper
ienced cattlemen. We are satisfied
the people of Woodward and the
officers of the Association will give
all a cordial welcome.
When a man goes into a game he
most always expects to win, or he
wouldn't go in. In a number of
instances it is done by dishonest
practices. After a man has been
gambling all his life and he goes up
against another fellow who jerks a
roll out of him, and then plays the
baby act by crying and saying that
the other fellow robbed him, we
have not the least sympathy for
such a fellow. Who on earth ever
heard of honesty connected with a
poker or crap game. Every fellow
tries to win any way he can. If he
can do it dishonestly and not be
discovered he does it. In gambling
you always beat the other fellow by
being a little -smarter than he is
Don't tell us that you were robbed
in a crap game, for no one has any
sympathy for you,. It serves you
right- . .

and then we would have had the
noble pair, P. M. and Fish Warden.
The State Charter Board has is
sued a charter to the Alfalfa com
pany of Wichita. The company is
organized for the purpose of manu
facturing an extract of alfalfa which
is supposed to be good for fattening
purposes. Some months ago Dr.
J. W. Shultz, of Wichita began ex
perimenting with the prepaparation
of alfalfa extract and tablets. He
tried the medicine upon some of his
slender acquaintances and they tes
tified that it increased their weight.
In order to properly handle the bus
iness a stock company of Wichita
men was organized to place the
medicine on the market. Some of
the most prominent Wichita busi
ness men are interested in the
schemew--Topeka Capital.
In such times as these, when

Co-operative Fire lasaraace a Saccess.
Kansas and McPherson County
has the proud distinction of being
the home of one of the largest Co
operative or Mutual Fire and Tor
nado Insurance companies in the
United States.
It has been in operation 13 years
during which time it has issued to
Kansas farmers 29,500 insurance
policies and has paid in losses ex
ceeding a quarter of a million dol
lars. Its indemnity is accepted by all
financial institutions as collateral.
- The available resources are $175,
000, of which 33,000 is cash, back
of which is an assessable value of
Si 6,000,000 in risks.
The annual meeting was held at
McPherson, January 8th, 1901. A
strong representation from over the
state was present. The reports of
Secretary C. F. Mingenback, and
Treasurer Wm. McCarty, show the
company in a sound financial con
dition. The meeting was harmonious
throughout and by a rising vote of
the convention the officers were ten
dered a vote of thanks for their un
tiring efforts in making the year
1900 the most successful in the his
tory of the company.
The directors etected for the ensu
ing three years were 1. Coslett 01
Harper county, W. F. Buttles of
Rice county, C. F. Mingenback,
McPherson county, W. W. Hensley
Elk county, and O. V. Gingrass of
Harvey.
The annual meeting passed a reso
lution amending the constitution and
by-laws requiring that all - proxies
hereafter shall be filed with the Sec
retary not later than the 20th of
December in each year.
After the adjournment of the an
nual meeting, the directors organiz
ed and elected I. F. Talbot, Presi
dent; J. W. Walker, Vice-President;
C. F. Mingenback, Secretary; Wm.
McCarty, Treasurer; V. GoodshcIIer
Adjuster; and. among other impor
tant business transacted, made a
limit of J 1 000 on any one town
dwelling risk.
The assessment on Fire and Light
ning for 1 90 1 was reduced one-fourth
and Tornado one-third over former
years.
The is the most extraordinary low
rate in the history of the company,
and will no doubt awaken the in
suring public to the fact that Mutual
Insurance has come to stay in Kan
sas, and at rates that Line companies
cannot meet. McPherson Opinion

pany at this place.
