Notao Shaky After all. In reply to an intended slander published in the Herald in tnis city, in regard to the Decatnr Mutual Life and Accident association, we take no issue with our vender of printers' ink. in regard to the first year's report, given by the auditor of utato, but we take issue in the slanderous intention of that article. We are happy to inform the Herald that instead of $214 boing paid out to policy holders up to tLe present month over $5,000 has been paid on losses, and we have added over 700 new members to the 600 in last year's report. We are also happy to inform it and the public in general that this institution is under an entire different management, since the report of 1884, and is gradually growing in public favor and the confidecco of all except the poor deminitive editor that does not receive his share of the advertising of this institution, and not knowing how to revenge himself only by making a cowardly attempt at slander.

The present officers are A. F. Horst, president; T. Watson, secretary. Our business is open to the inspection of all members of the association.
