it Jf 7 i I The Kansas Mutual takes the Lead. The Enterprise. PBESCOTT, AUG, 3, 1889. $1.00 PER YEAR, IN ADVANCE. From advanced sheets of the annual report of the Superintendent of Insurance, Hon, D.

W. Wilder, we gather some interesting information. Below we give the names of the six Life Insura nca. companies doing business in in 1888 that, according to this report, wrote in this state during the year over $1,000,000 of insurance. We make no note of the twenty-two companies that wrote a less amount.

It will be seen at a glance that the Kansas Mutual Life, of Hiawatha, Kansas, leads in number of policies written, amount of new business secured, and amount of insurance in force at the close of the year. E. MILLER SONS, Prop, ANNOUNCEMENT. CONSUMPI Amount in Force. For Cotjnoy Clerk.

HAWKINS. The publishers of the Prescott, Enterprise, takes pleasure in announcing that he has made arrangements by which he can offer CLOTHING, GENTS FUR- i NISHING GOODS. In the foregoing comparison it is gratifying to the people of Kansas that a home company stands at the head of the list. At the beginning of 1889 the Mortuary and Reserve Funds of the Kansas Mutual amounted to $75,355,94, and there was not a death claim or any other liability unpaid. It is now plainly evident that this excellent company is not only the successful rival of the best Old Line companies, but is fast becoming one of the strong institutions of the West.

Prompt payment of death claims, fair dealings with the public a sound basis on which to operate, and an able, progressive and honest management are the distinguishing characteristics of the Kansas Mutual.

Mrs. Lemaster, of Hume as a benifleent institution a kind of a necessity of our time and civilization. The man who has a family, feels it a duty he owes them to carry for their benefit some life insurance, and if he does not perform his duty this respect, he is considered by his neighbors not as prudent and provident as he should be. The est and safest business men in every community carry more or less life insurance; and each year as the people become better quainted with the principles of life insurance, there becomes a greater demand for it, hence insurance companies are established to supply this demand, among which none is better than the Kansas Mutual, a home company, founded on sound principles, built up by fair dealing and honest practices, managed by able and progressive men. This company offers the public excellent insurance at a cost that is the miiuimum within the limits of safe.

Should he be nominated and elected to the office of County Clerk; Linn county would have in the highest sense of the term a competent and honest official.
