MINNEAPOLIS CONFLAGRATION. How to be Secured Prone Hie EChets of a Like Calamity. To protect one’* life and property against unforeseen accident and destruction it a duty scarcely anyone will dispute, but just the means to he used may be, and In, debatable. Death t eiU come to all; and lot* by fire of the most valuable property as well aa the lowliest ’ home is recorded every day of the year, and will lie, so long as time shall continue. Whose life lata he cut off, or whose hqpae Is to be destroyed no one can tell. Neither can they even suspect when or how, certainly not when they aro expecting It; else would they be ready to extinguish the devouring element In It* incipient first spark of existence. Either like the dreadful explosion at Minneapolis, or at tho dead hour of midnight, or perchance when liusbnnfl and protector is far away in the field docs the demon strike. In our opinion there is but one, and only one, remedy or security, and that Is a Policy of Insurance la some good sound Insurance Company. And among all the companies doing business in our country we know of none presenting better security to the farmer and those owning dwelling-houses than the American Insurance Company, of Chicago. Confining its Insurance to farm proparty, dwelling houses, private barns, their contents, churches and schoolhouses—writing no policies in any of the large cities, and only $5,0000n anyone risk, making a great loss by a sweeping conflagration impossible—,with cash assets amounting to 1904,224.81, being 8470,805.67 more than is necessary under the Insurance Laws to pay all liabilities and reinsure all outstanding risks. In addition to which this company has over one and one-half million dollars of installment notes not yet due. The following statement of amount of cash received by twenty-four companies doing the largest business in the Btate of Illinois during the year 1877, as shown by the official reports on file in the Insurance Department of said State, places tho “ American" at the head of the list; and also shows the total receipts in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, lona and Ohio, by the same companies.
