This makes a total of 47, out of about 90 companies doing business here, which have complied with the law. These companies report that from July 1, 1891 till Dec. 31,1891, they collected in pre miums $28,298.92 in this county, and paid losses amounting to $9,122.87. The amount paid in taxes by them is $304.35, at which rate it will be some time before the firemen's fund assumes affluent proportions.

The Phenlx, of Brooklyn.

"In hamlet and village in country side, and busy marts of trade, everyone who owns property, and several other people besides, are acquainted wi'.h the Phenlx, of Brooklyn. Why shouldn't they be? For nearly forty years It has been furnishing first-class indemnity to people, North and South, East, and West. To those people on the sunny side of middle life, tho legend: "Has agents everywhere," has been a familiar sight since their cradle days, and in a host of instances that cradle was protected by a Phenix policy.

This acquaintance—it would probably bo better to call it friendship—has been pleasant and profitable to all concerned. To the company, because it has found that the good old-fashioned honest way of treating policy-holders has brought many kind words, to say nothing of the resulting dollars paid for its policies. To tho policy-holders, because they have over found the Phenix just and equitable in the settlement of claims. To the agents, and their name is legion, because of the appreciative way their continuous and devoted efforts have been received they have been treated as men, instead of mere automatons, whose relation to the company was as mere ciphers, useful In making up the yearly aggregate.

The years have come and gone since '53, but each one has strengthened the confidence of the people in, and the affection of the agents for, the Phenix. Theso years have also, as each passed by, added to its resources, till now it is, and has been for some time, a giant in the insurance world.

Its annual statement deals with millions, where many anotter company deals with thousands. The assets are |5,187,207 the reinsurance reserve, $3,892,273 and the surplus, $1,510,721. The market values of its securities exceeds their par value by $368,600, which indicates that the management not only knows how to make money, but how to invest it as well. During '91 it paid $2,287,421 in losses, while since organization this item foots up the grand total of $42,000,000. Verily! Who can recount the benefits that have llowed from this immense sum?

In marshaling this array of results, the contribution of the Western and Southern departments, presided over by T. R. Burch, this city, must not be forgotten. Of the entire premium receipts of the company, over two million dollars were from Mr, Bureh's territory. Steady work, hard work, and profitable work, was required to attain this position, those are the only kinds known on the top floor of the Phenix building.*'

The above is taken from the Argus, the leading Insurance journal of the northwest, published at Chicago, and we might add this company is represented at Terre Haute by Kiddle, Hamilton A Co., and that our Mr. J. Irying Riddle is state agent of it and has been for eighteen years. During this time the prem ium receipts have grown from $40,000 up to nearly $200,000 a year and there has been paid to Indiana policy holders over one million and a quarter of dollars by the company, and to the citizens of Vigo county over $50,000. The Phenix insures all kinds of desirable property against fire, lightning and tornado at very reasonable rates

WORLD'S FAIR ACCOMMODATIONS.

Timely Provisions for Visitors to be tfk?- Comfortably'Quartered. m&i'i

The World's Fair Co-operative Bureau which is represented here by Messrs. J. A. Wheeler and E. J. Dougherty is meeting with encouragement and success.

As all may not have had an opportunity of learning the object and conditions of the organization it is well to state to them through the press that those who may feel desirous of availing themselves of the advantages offered by the Bureau may do so before the gentlemen who represent the organization leave the city for other towns. f|,'

The main purpose of the World's Fair Bureau is to offer a remedy by which its members may be protected from the many sharks that will then be conspicuous, and give those who intend visiting the World's Fair an opportunity of securing reasonable hotel rates and conveyances during that time and enabling them to avoid paying for poor accommodations the exhorbitant prices that will be extorted from visitors by taking advantage of the occasion.

It has been conceded by those who have made a study and an estimate of the matter that Chicago with all its ho-i tel facilities, as well as the accommodations that can be had at private dwellings, will by no means be sufficient to afford sleeping apartments for the vast flood of people that wil^ come from all quarters of the globe.

The honored gentlemen at the head of this worthy undertaking is sufficient to give it prestige Ex-Gov. J. L. Beveridge, being president, Capt. A. T. Andreas, Pres. Western Historical Co., Secretary, besides having several generals cf civil war fame as directors of the organization among them are Oen. H. H. Thomas, Gen. A. L. Cheatland, ex-consul to Brussels, Hon. R. S. Tuthil, judge of Circuit court, all representing capital and responsibility. 'I

All connected with it are representative men of the United States and as residents of Chicago they .feel that as far as is in their power they are responsible for the welfare, comfort and pleasure of those visiting th'eir city during the World's Fair, and look upon it as a duty to make what provision they can in due time to accommodate people and avert as much as possible the confusion and struggling to procure respectable places after arriving in Chicago on that occasion.

The membership will also entitle them to reasonable conveyance and club excursion rates on the lake, and all information concerning the best programme to be followed in visitiug the World's Fair grounds, and the various parks and places of amusement in the city, so as its members may make the best possible use of the time they remain there and receive full benefit and pleasure that can be derived from such a worldfamed exposition.

Aside from the actual membershjjp there is a saving's institute for those members who wish to make small deposits from time to time in whatever bank they choose. Ic is intended for any who wish to make small savings occasionally for their prospective World's Fair visit, but it is not to be understood that the savings feature of it is essential to membership but is merely supplementary, and it is optional with the members whether they adopt it or not. These desiring to obtain tickets can do so by calling on C. M. Thompson, secretary board of trade, or J. A. Wheeler, 636 Wabash avenue.

Membership tickets $3.50 which are transferable and entitle the holder to first class rooming accommodations at a $1 per day rate.
