Back to sobriety, back to usefuluess and back to the friendship of their friends and the respect of the com- munity by overcoming their unfortunate disease through the Houston cure treat- ment. The Houston Cure institute is now in full operation, corner of 15th and How- ard street, there are 27 patients being treated, and the result of one week’s treatment on the first patients is con- vinving the most skeptical, 5 The time has come when all who have suffered through the misfortunes of friends and relations addicted to the ex- cessive use of liquor, should insist on vlacing them under treatment. Patients who are capable of working can continue doing so by the loss of only [ lelw wminutes time each day for treai- ment.

The Northwestern Mutual Life Ins, Co. i8 just out with its thirty-third an- nual statement, from which we copy the !o\lowlng interesting readings ‘Reform in life Insurance methods is considered necessary: first, in the char- acter and quality of business obtained; second, in the expense of securing busi- ness and administering company affairs; and third, in the investment of trust funds. Pledged s the Northwestern has been and is, to increase its strength and usefulness from year to year, let us examino briefly the com- pany’s recent record in the above partic- ular.. The standard of membership in this company has always been high; higher, indeed, in 1891, with a new busi- ness of sixty-five millions, than ton years before with a business of only fifteen millions, The average death rate of the company during the past twenly years was 1.06; during the past fifteen years, 1.03; during the past ten years, ( during the past five years, 0.95; during the past year, 0.80; and lower during ench period than the death rate of any other leading company. ® The supremacy of the Northwestern among its principal competitors, in point of interest rate, continues, Compariso of this report with statement of last January, will show that the rate actu- ally earned in 1891 was 6 1-10 per cent, on the - nssets at the begiming of the year. The same well known, careful and exact standard and methods govern the investment of its funds, and we think no other company can show its entire “‘reserve’ invested in first mortgage bonds. Relative to the expense of secur- ing new business, our eompany has not for years, in a single instance, wvaid salary w any general or soliciting ugent; while the grade and rato of com- mission paid for business is no higher than eight years ago. The ‘‘ratio of expenses and taxes to new business,” during 1889 and 1890, was lower in the Northwestern than in any other regularcompany. and lower still 1n 1891, 1t is also proper to state in this connec- tion that our company, during 1890, in collecting nearly $9,000,000 in premiums lost through its agents only $76.96, or less than one one-thousandth of 1 per cent, In 1891, in collecting over $10,- 000,000, it lost nothing. Our policyhoiders have become will- ing to waive the distinction of belong- ing to the largest company in the world, or the company doing the largest bus ness in the world, since they have ex perimentally learned that such results as the foregoing mean not only increased and increasing solidity and strength, but annual and substantial benefits to them not equalled by any other company in the world. The company, during the past year, settled its first ten-year tontine policies, issued in 1881, that proved very sutis sactory, and justify the belief that,what- ever the results under such policies may be in the future, they cannot fail to yield larger surplis returns for premi- ums paid than any other formof life and investment insurance in this or any other company. _ The assets January 1, 1691, were $48,82,~ 7 The income for 1801 was Premiums and annuities.

Mr, Babcock, manager of the stock yards, who went to St. Louis to attend the session of the Southwestern Railway and Steamship association, says that tho matter in regard to southwestern rates is not yet settled. Of tho ten railroads comprising the association only one comes to Omahu while the otler nine enter Kansas City. As aresult the town on the Kaw is favored by the associs tion and it costs $25 per car moro to ship stock to Omaha from southwestern points than it does to send it to Kansas City. Mr. Baocock is determined if possible to to secure equitable rates and he made a strong presentation of Omaha’s side of the case to the association. The freicht audi- tors who comprise the body admitted the force of the arguments and after a discus- sion of the matter decided to refer it to the there is today a solid train of flour ab | exeeutive commmitten. which sommere of the the Webster street depot, which many will avail themselves of the privilege of seeing. This solia train of flour is loaded from engine to cuboose with the well known brand “Pillsbury’s Pillsbury Milling company, Minneapo- lis, and is consigned to the well known aud enterprising .wholesale grocery house of D. M. Steele Co., via_the Chicago, St. Paui, Minneapolis & Oma- ha railrond. The brand Pillsbury’s Best” is known whereever bread is used in the known world, but this is the first solid train ‘that has even been shipped to any one point west of the Mississippi river: D. M. Steele & Co., as state agents, have so thoroughly introduced: ' this ‘ flour . .with the e intioour. city’ and state that it is now necess: for them toorder by the train load in order to be able to supply the demand promptly. With such wholesale houses in our city it will be seen thai our commercial interests are well cared for and are keeping puce with the rapid strides which we, as o city, are taking in overy direction. In an interview with Mr. Dudley Smith, on e of the resident partners of D. M.

J., Jan, 80.—Dr. Henry Formad, one of the lending pathologists this country, has made an examination of the milk and meat of tuberculosis cattle at the request of tho state dairy commissionnr and takes a decided stand in opposition to the prevailing viows on tho subject. He says that he is convinced that the dangers from the use of milk and meat of cattle affected by tuberculosis are much over- arawn. As the doctor says, authorities differ as the effect of the use of milk and meat of cattle affected by tuberculosis, but the examination is just made showing the danger has been greatly overestimated. Ex- periments were made on some guinea pigs which were inoculated in the anterior cham- ber of the eye with samples of milk, butafter eight weeks no tuberculoe bacili were dis- covered. Dr. Ilormad also made an examination of the meat of cattlo affected with the disease, but has never beenable to find any bacili. to thinks tno only objection to the use of this milk is thatit 1s less nourishing than the milk of healthy cows. Thero is little or no danger of catching the discase from it. A sl e INDICTED FOR MURDER, o of Miss Mitchell and Miss Johnson Held ((lr the Killing of Freda War Menpiig, Tenn., Jan. 30.—The grand jury this aftérnoon handed in its decision in the Ward-Mitchell murder case. The result of their deliberations is that both gitls are in- ed and the charge sot opposite their names will read: ‘“Murder in tho first de- gree.” Thero aro two counts, one charging that the accused raurdered Freda, alias Froderica, Ward, with a razof, and the ‘other indicating the woapon used as an “‘instrument unknown to the grand jury.” The object of presenting two counts is to guard against the possibility of tho defense showing that the cutting was done with some instrumnent other than a razor. It may be stated that the razor used by Miss Mitchell has not yet been found. Tho routine of the life ot tho two young girls at the jail remaina unchanged. No one except mombers of their families is allowed to see them, and nothing new has developed in this most remarkable affair. e SR Killed a Swede Farm fland, StockToy, Cal., Jan. 80.—Almer Dullard, a prominent and well known farmer of this county, came to town this morning with a constable, to whom he had surrendered him- self, baving stabbed and killed a Swedish farm hand named John Bangarter.

So they listened to the white men when they said: ‘Let us make a treaty,’ Every timo they made & treuty they broke it. ery time they broke it they had a fight. Kvery'time they had a fight thoy killed many Indians, Every time they killed so many Inaians they said to the remaining Indians, ‘Let us make & new treaty, for you do not need so much land now, since your brothers have gone to heaven. They hoped at Iast to have no Indians left W0 n ed any lund at all. The said the good Ins dianwas the dead Inaian. This is what theg call tho Indian question, and you will no§ wonder that the Indian thinks that amon@ the white poople this question is: *How long will it take to kill off the Indlans?’ Ond white man has already proposed a plan. Ho wanted to stretch wires charged with elec- tric currents through the Indian country, s@ that when the Indian touched the wires in going through tho woods they would be killed.
