Ox account of the inclement weather last evening, the Amateurs postponed their entertainment at St. Agnes Hall until to-morrow evening.
MANY wells in the city are nearly dry, and some are entirely so. Old well diggers say they never knew of so long a drouth existing on this prairie.
WE regret to learn that Breinig's Band is about to disband. The trouble among the musicians appears to be that all the members demand an equal divide of the receipts, to which Mr. Breinig, who owns the instruments, very properly objects.
THE BURTON WILL—Judge Harrison has overruled the motion for a new trial in the Burton Will Case and rendered udgment setting the will aside. Unless au appeal is taken to the Supreme Court by Mrs. Langford, (the plaintiff,) this case is at an end, after six years of litigation, and the property goes to John Burton's grand children.
BEFORE ESQ. DENEHIE.—C. G. Wood, General Agent of the Empire Mutual Life Insurance Company was arrested yesterday afternoon, on charge of doing business without proper license. On being taken before Esq. Denehie he was required to give bond in the sum ne hundred dollars for his appearance on Tuesday next, when his case will be heard.
MAYOR'S COURT.—William Youman was committed to jail yesterday to await the action of tho Grand Jury for obtaining money under false pretenses. He recently contracted to deliver four hundred bushels of wheat to Keith & Fairbanks, on which he asked and received sixty dollars in advance. Subsequent inquiry developed the fact that he had no wheat to sell.
Alice Hunter was made to pay $6 35 for an assault and battery upon one Mattie Brown.
W. W.Williams thoughtlessly hitched his horse to a shade tree, and it cost him $G.40.
Dr. Geo. W. Collings. after being tried and fined in the Criminal Court, as mentioned in the proceedings of that tribunal, caused a warrant to be issued against Tom Harper, the man whom he had assaulted and battered, charging him with the same offense. The Mayor could not see it, and Harper was discharged.
On the road home we learn that Dr. Collings, full of benzine, was quite demonstrative, and drew his revolver upon a crowd. At the earnest entreaty of his wife he subsided and permitted himself to be hauled to his home near Prairieton.

ROCKVILLE.--Acorrespondent
,V'
THE ordinance discouraging the keeping of hogs within the city limits was voted down by a vote of 6 to 3 last night. A councilman who voted for the ordinance Ls now in favor of creating an ordinance encouraging the raising of hogs in the city, free to roam on Main and all other streets.
THE Criminal Court convened yesterday morning, Judge Long presiding. A man lamed Bash, whose front name is not material, plead guilty to the charge of petit larceny, and was awarded a term of one year in the penitentia-
Dr- Geo. W. Collins was arraigned on indictment charging him with assault and battery upon the person of Thomas Harper. The prosecutor dropped the "intent," and the defendant plead guilty to the assault and battery, whereupon the Court, after hearing the evidence, fixed a fine of $25 and the cost of prosecution. Collings gave bond for the payment of the same, and was released.
Policemen Gottschalk and Frame were arraigned under indictments returned by the Grand Jury, charging them with car rying concealed weapons—the weapons being "billys," with which all the policemen of the city are armed. After a hearing of the case, Judge Long instructed the jury, in iub3tance, that a policeman had a right to carry such a weapon as was necessary to enable him safely to discharge the duties of his office, provided he used no willful means of concealment that it was not required of him to have such weapon constantly in view that if he carried a BILLY, with one end protrud ing from his pocket, and showed it frequently in the course of his duty, and ap peared before the public in the capacity in which he acted, wearing the badge and uniform of his. calling—these were circumstances the jury might take into con sideration in determining 'whether the weapon waa carried concealed, in violation of the law
Upon these instructions which, perhaps, may not be in accordance with the strict letter of the law, but which are good common sense views, the jury promptly gave a verdict of acquittal.
SIMMONS & SLOCUM'S MINSTRELS.— Another of the favorite minstrel bands will visit us to-night at Dowling Hall, Simmons & Slocum's troupe is made up of some of the best minstrels in the busi ness, and comes highly recommended by the press of Cincinnati and Louisville, The Courier-Journal, of the latter city, speaks of their performances in the fol lowing flattering manner:
The entertainments now being given by Messrs. Simmons & Slocum's minstrels, at Weisinger Hall, are somewhat of a surprise. It was expected that they were of the usual mediocre burnt cork style, having so-called jokes, the sole merit of which was a species of donble entendre, acceptable only to a certain class of persons, too frequently found in the audiences. The jokes of Messrs, Simmons & Slocum's Minstrels are some thing quite different—they are fresh sparkling, humorous, refined. Musica performances are given in a manner indicative of superior talent. The flute obligato last evening, by Mr. John Cox, was most tasteful, while there has been seldom heard in entertainments of this kind anything equal to Mr. Fox's violin solo. With burlesques and fancies, the evening passed exceedingly agreeably roars of uncontrollable laughter bursting simultaneously from the audience, marked in an unmistakable manner the high enjoyment of the large assembly.
at Rock
ville writes as follows: Rockville cannot be classed any longer with the sleepy list of country towns. A few days sojourn is enough to hear all about the different lines of railroad that "are coming that way." Their county is increasing in population and wealth, manufactories are talked of, new and stylish brick stores are springing up, etc., etc. We have had our little sojourn with their clever and enterprising people, and will gladly agree from evidence plain that they are moving along on the high road to success, and need only persevere to make their town and county rank with the best in the State. But right here we are going to tell them that they must not be long in removing that disgraceful, dirty, stinking Cologne bottle from the middle of that beautiful public square if they want strangers to spend the summer months with them. The town is so built as to hold the mass of inhabitants in and around this public square. The stores are all on it. The churches are on or near it. The hotels command it. In fact it is the green spot," and how they should endure the awful fragrance of that Cologne bottle is beyond our conception. Let us see, now, how much longer they will. The wheat crop has not turned out as well as was expected, either in quantity or quality, still enough to put the farmers on an improved footing financially. The farm improvements of old Parke are very good. The lands are well situated and the soil well adapted to the production of wheat and corn.
THANKS.—At a special meeting of the Terre Haute Typographical Union No. 76, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this Union return its sincere thanks to the Trades' Unions of this city, the citizens of Vigo and Vermillion counties, and the Prairie City Guards for the good-natured and liberal patronage extended to their excursion to Perry viMe on the 4th inst.

National Life Insnrance Company of Chicago. EDITOR EXPRESS: We desire again to call public attention to the important fact that no Life Insurance Company can organize or do business in Illinois, or ex' tend its operations into Indiana without a deposit of $100,000 with the State Treasurer and, an additional deposit from year to year, of an amount sufficient to coyer all liabilities of the company 1

Where great interests are involved, and sacred trusts questioned, facts only ar useful in enabling the public to decide justly the points in controversy.
We will introduce here an extract of the law? of Indiana: SEC. 1. "Be it enacted that it shall not be lawful for any agent of any insurance company, incorporated by any other State than the State of Indiana—directly, or indirectly—to transact any business o' insurance in the State without first producing a 'certificate of authority' from the Auditor of the State."
Showing our cheerful compliance with tjie just demands of this "enactment," we subjoin the "Certificate" of the Auditor of the State of Indiana: "OFFICE AUDITOR OF STATE, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.,April 19,1871. "WHEREAS, The National Life Insurance Company of Chicago, Ills., has fur nished me with a statement under oath, of the President and Secretary thereof of the condition of said company on the 1st day of January, 1871, and a duly authen ticated copy of its act of corporation, together with a written instrument under the seal of the Company, and signed by the President and Secretary and "WHEREAS, Said Insurance Com pany has furnished me with satisfactory evidence that it is possessed of at least ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS of actual capital, invested in stocks or bonds of one or more of the States of this Union, at the current market value thereof, at the date of such statement, or in hands, and mortages of real estate worth double the amount for which the same is mortgaged, and free from any prior in cumbrance.

Now, therefore be it known that Alonzo Phelps, as Agent of the aforesaid Insurance Company—which has fully complied with the provisions of "An act regulating Foreign Insurance Companies doing business in this State &c., &c.," approved December 21st, 1865—is hereby authorized to transact the business of insurance for and in behalf of said Company, as the Agent thereof, and subject to the provisions of the "act aforsaid."
In testimony

&c.,
JOHN C. THOMPSON, Auditor ofState
The "paid up" capital of the Company is $250,000! The Treasurer of the State of Illinois holds in deposit as security to all policy-holders—on both the Stock and Mutual or Reciprocal Plans $100,000! The official opinion of Hon. B. W. Hanna, Attorney General of the State of Indiana, in reference to the security of policyholders on the Mutual or Reciprocating Plan of the aforesaid Company, will be satisfactory to all who can be satisfied.
TERRE HAUTE, IND., July 6,1871. Sir: In reply to your inquiry, after an examination of the Insurance Laws of the State of Illinois, and the enclosed certificate of the Treasurer of that State, I have no hesitation in saying, that the "National Life Insurance Company of Chicago," has fully complied with the law of Illinois as approved March 26,1869.
The certificate of the State Treasurer, bears date of May 27, 1871, showing that it was given more than two years after the law in question took affect. It has a schedule annexed, setting forth a full list of stocks and mortgages to the amonntof $100,000, held by the Treasurer of Illinois, in trust for the policy-holders of the National Life Insurance Company you represent. These securities are undoubtedly a part of the capital of the Company, so that every dollar covered by them, is solemnly pledged by the corporation and securely held by the State for the protection of the insured.

On all new business after July 1st, a deposit of Two Dollars, in advance, will be required at the time of taking insurance. Assessments of $4.40 each membership, in advance, for four death losses, will be made after the previous deposit has been exhausted by death losses.
Remember the Membership Fee of $9.00 is payable but once only. FACTS IMPORTANT TO EVERY WESTERN MAN.—According to the sworn statement of sixty-eight Life Insurance Companies, doing business in the State of New York, as shown by the Insurance Commission
Its directors and officers are all men of known position in the world men of character and of great business experience, who with the large capital of the Com pany, give positive security for the fulfill ment of every condition of their policies. It is easy to pooh, pooh, such a company, but the affectation of doing so is inoperative. The Company is very popular with those who have been hitherto debarred from insuring on account of high expenses. From the Northwestern Review, for April.
It will be noticed that we admit to our columns the advertisement of the National Life Insurance Company of Chicago. We know the Company's officers and directors to be gentlemen of ability and integrity, and the resources of the Company amply sufficient to enmply with the law—indeed, it is doubtless within the power of its stockholders to increase the capital of the company to a million or more if necessary. Their personal and financial character lend respectability to the institution. From the American Builder for May

Its s'ock capital must first be lost before one single policy-holder can be made a loser. There is no gainsaying the fact of the popularity of the company, or of its financial strength. From the Milwaukee Sentinel, Dec. 5, 1S70.]
NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. —The great obstacle which has heretofore Bt»d in the way of the almost universal adoption of life insurance has been the high rate of premium charged. This will account, in great measure, for the almost unprecedented success which has attended the National Life Insurance Company of Chicago since it started.
This organization is officered by some of the staunch men of Chicago, and is doing business under the laws of the State of Illinois. An examination of its

On the occurrence of a death, the members write to the office that they are "glad have the opportunity of being assessed such a cause," "hope the work will on." "It is easy to pay my dollar and then, though I may never be able get $50 at a time in my hands," etc. The poorer classes, we are rejoiced to say, have at last a place of protection for their families in case of death, and if faithful to themselves will patronize and preserve it.

er's Report for the year 1869, the cost of ^dividends," for they are simply a resti
Insurance by loss from death was about six dollars per thousand, or sixty dollars on ten thousand dollars insurance! If all these companies had been on the Mutual or Reciprocal Plan adopted by this Company, 80 dollars on each 10,000 dollars would have been the average cost of Insurance, and would have given a fair compensation to the Companies. While the average cost to keep alive a policy in the old self-styles regular companies for the same sum of Ten Thousand, is from Three Hundred and Forty to Five Hundred and Twenty Dollars per annum.
It will be seen by the last report of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Illinois, that the National Life, for six months, issued more policies than any other Company for the whole year, and more in the six months than all the other Life Companies doing business in Illinois From the Chronicle.] "The capital and securities of this Com pany are sufficient to comply with the Insurance Laws of any State in the Union. And it has complied with the Law.? of, and is now doing business in thefollowing States: New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa, Kan sas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Missouri."

Under cover of the concealment which has attended thus far the inner workings of old-line Life Insurance, policy holders have been forced to pay, in addition the actual cost, an enormous "loading," small part of which is sometimes return ed fo them in what are erroneously called
tution of some of the money which has been extorted from them under false pre tenses.
The first business of the National Life upon its organization was to Btrike at the very heart of these great wrongs, and to prove that insurance could be afforded on a cheaper and better plan. It is not our purpose to recount the storm of misrepre sentation, and often of downright abuse to which the National Life and its officers were subjected on account of its exposures of the glaring frauds perpetrated upon the public by the Shylocks of Life Insurance. What we wish to note that the insurance press, generally, now taking the same position with regard to the practical workings of old-line life companies, that the National Life occu pied a year ago. The Spectator, of New York, one of the bitterest enemies of the National Life, in its issue of May 15 prints a "Review" of the Life Insurance business of 1870. We quote as follows: "It is not saying too much to assert that many of the companies stand selfconvicted of mal-administration, in mak ing a pretentious show of business, while thev are, in reality, constantly losing as much as they gain. That which has been heretofore a source of uneasiness to all thoughtful students of life insurance, but whose evil influence it was hoped might be kept in check, is now developing itself in the fearful form of an element of disaster and destruction. Not only are these terminations disproportionate in number but the disproportion increases every year, as shown by the following table compiled from the reports of the New
Fercentmpe of
Am't hmired. Am't Terminated. Terminations. $573,000,000 $403,000,000 70 3 If there was reason, a year ago, to sound the note of warning with respect to the dangerous tendency of this style of man agement, it would appear now that noth ing short of suicidal intent could preven a thoughtful consideration of this subject The most sanguine promoter, the most sincere advocate of the life insurance scheme, cannot shut his eyes to the im minence of "disaster, until this fearful waste is checked. If no reforming^ pro cesses are instituted, we will find this ratio reaching S4 per cent, on the current year's business, and 100 per cent, on that of 1872. Are the gentlemen of the life underwriting profession prepared to face such a discreditable exhibition?"
It will be seen that they are even worse than anything we have printed against the old companies in regard to lapsed and surrendered policies for the reason that the longer the old companies run, the worse they get thus 1870 would present a worse showing than 1869. The fearful loss of business in the way of lapsed and surrendered policies has produced a paralysis in the old-line insurance offices Only one policy in twenty-three is terminated to the advantage of the heirs of the policy holder—that is, where the heirs of
holder come to a position to
reap the benefits of life insurance, the
