VOLUMINOUS DECISION IN THE CASE

LINCOLN , Aug. 19. ( Special. ) Deputy
Insurance Commissioner Ilryant this after
noon handtd down an opinion In the case of
the State Life Insurance company of Indi
ana , against which a complaint was filed
Homo time ago by sixteen resident Insurance
agents of Omaha. While the Insurance com
missioner does not uphold the allegations
nnd charges that the company has Issued
insurance policies at n special premium rate
ho requires It to desist from doing business
in Nebraska until It Is legally authorized
to Insure In Us own state. This If ) according
to the reciprocal provision of the Weaver
act.
Argument In this caee was heard by
Governor I'oyntcr , acting as Insurance coin-
MlMloner and W. L. Ilryant as deputy. The
complaint was signed by Charles E. Ady , W.
L. Fisher , A. II. Kdmlsteii , 0. J. Gould ,
Fleming I3ros. , C. L. Wlghton , Charles W.
nalncy , J. M. Edmlsten , W. H. Brown , J.
S. Brown , J. W. Craig. John Stcele , n. T.
Alexander , N. T. Kohrer , A. Lanelng , L. U.
Gould , all of Omaha.
The decision of Deputy Commissioner
Bryant Is In part as follows :
The learned counsel for the complainants
labored with great Ingenuity to show the
department that the policy of Insurance
nnd the local representative contract were
an entirety. With all due respect to the
ability of the counsel we arc compelled
to dissent from this conclusion. Where
two contracts arc not necessary comple
ments of each other , not neccfenrlly simul
taneous In their execution and do not pur
port upon their face to have the same con
sideration , the burden Is upon the person
alleging their entirety to prove the same.
It was claimed that these , contracts were
offered promiscuously to any nnd everybody
as an Inducement to Insure. If every per
son Insured hao one of these contracts the
mutuality of the Insured cannot be affected
thereby. Hut such Is not the case. It was
afllrmcd and not denied that the contract
had boon Issued to some persons not policy
holders. This being the case It would show
that It was practically an Independent con
tract.
The words "by my efforts so directed" re
late to the words "by recommending to
them suitable persons whom they may secure -
cure for Insurance. " For this service the
local reprcHentatlvc Is to bo paid as fol
lows : The company , at the end of ten
years , from January 1 , 1899 , Is , at the end
of each year , to set aside 25 cents from ita
expense fund for each $1,000 of Insurance In
force , and thus divide the sum obtained by
the number of local representatives.
The quotient Is to be the compensation of
each representative , which sum Is to bo
credited to his premium.
Now we shaft not undertake this pro
cedure as a business proposition ; whether
it will bring prosperity or disaster Is not
the question before us. Were we to ex
amine Into the method of doing business
of every company In the state and say "A"
should not be allowed to do business , his
method will bring disaster , and "H" shall
bo allowed because his method will bring
prosperity , that wouM constitute ourselves
guardians of every Insurance company In
the state , which the law never designed us
to be.
It appears from the affidavit and other
admitted facts that some very Iridescent
representations had been made by an agent
of the company which , together with the
local contract Itself , were the moving cause
In Inducing him to Insure. An affidavit Is
only an ex-parto statement where there is
no opportunity lor cross-examination. The
affiant In this case Is a highly respected
gentleman. But to cancel the license or a
foreign Insurance company upon the sworn
ex-parto statement of a gentleman who
deems himself wronged would be a length
to which this department would not go.
Nor do wo think the facts sulllclent.
That the local representative contract
might bo made to operate as a rebate is
obvious.
That its execution and delivery are Ipso
facto a rebate neither appears upon the
face of the documents nor Is established
by evidence allunde.
Wo find that the State Life Insurance
company of Indianapolis , Ind. , Is a solvent -
vent company ; that there Is nothing in its
charter , constitution , by-laws or method of
doing business , so far as such method has
boon shown , as in. conlllct with the laws of
this state , except as hereinafter stated.
Wore this a domestic company we would
dismiss the complaint without ceremony.
But the statute of Nebraska contains the
following section : ( Hero he gives the "re
ciprocal" provision of the Weaver law ) .
Under the advice of the attorney general
of that state ho has forbidden the issuance

Were n Nebraska life Insurance company
to go to Indiana It would be forbidden to Is

panies to Issue them In this state to their

order Is made under and by authority of
section 65 of the Weaver law , and obedi
ence hereof la enjoined.
With contracts already Issued we cannot
Interfere. Any person desiring to be dls-
engaRed from a contract already made must
search for his remedy , It ho has any , in a

The local representatives come under the
provisions of section 29 of the Weaver law.
The company will bo required to pay the

In an Interview this afternoon Governor
Poynter charged the railroads of this state
and the lines between Denver and the coast
with having formed n combination , the pur
pose of which IB to hold up the rate of trans-
portatlon for eoldlers from San Francisco to
their homes In this state.
I "Had I the tlmo , " said Governor Poyntor.
1 "I would yet call a special session of the
legislature and bring to Its attention the
evidence which now exists to prove that the
railroads have entered Into a combination
or pool , which Is contrary to the statutes of
the otato and against the decisions of the
supreme court. The fact of the matter Is
I the railroads running from San Francisco
I Into Omaha recognize that they have the
boys by the throats and they are making
10 most they can of the situation. "
Governor Poynter Is badly disappointed at
lo result of the scheme to raise funds for
10 transportation of the "troops " and he
trongly Inclines to the opinion that if the
illroads had any desire to act fairly In the
matter arrangements could have been made
o bring the regiment home. The attention
f the secretaries of the Doard of Transpor-
ntlon may bo caflcd to the charges , but It
s not probable that the governor will take
ny Initiative steps In the case.
This morning Rev. Isaac Stone of Weeping
Vater addressed the Southern Nebraska aa-
oclatlon of Free Will Daptlfltswhich Is
loldlng Its annual meeting In this city , on
he subject , "Thoughts From a Half Cen-
ury. " Rev. W. W. Deckard and Ilev. J. F.

About two hundred people wearing Jeffer-

Gaflln ot the populist state central com
mittee , Auditor Cornell , Land Commissioner

LEXINGTON , Neb. , Aug. 19. ( Special
Telegram. ) A telegram was received hero
today from M. C. Harrington announcing
that he would remain in the field as the
democratic candidate for congress of the
Sixth district.
LEXINGTON. Neb. , Aug. 19. ( Special
Telegram. ) The democratic and populist
conventions , which assembled hero last night
to nominate a candidate for congress In the
Sixth district to succeed the late W. L.
Greene , ended this mornluc In ono of the
worst fancies imaginable.
The democratic convention orcanlzcd by
the election of Juan Boyle of Kearney as
chairman nnd W. B. McNeil of North 1'latto
as secretary. There wore sixteen counties
represented. The call for nominations
brought out M , C. Harrington of North
1'latto and P. H. Barry of Grceloy. The flrst
ballot resulted In the nomination of Har
rington by a vote of 103 to 29.
In the populist convention J. E. Morrison
of Logan county was chosen chairman and
F. B. Carlcy of Dawcs and L. Ward of Dawson -
son secretaries. Nevlllo was nominated on
the fifteenth ballot by the following vote :
Neville , 108 % ; Barry , 71 % ; Stewart , 12 ;
Taylor , 12.
Conference committees were appointed by
rath the democratic and populist convcn-
ona. and these committees worked until 3
'clock In the morning , reporting from time
o tlrno to the two conventions. The con-
erences wore of no avail , however. The
emocrots insisted they were entitled to the
omlnatlon and were bound to have It or
hero would be no fusion. The populists
were just as Insistent that the nomination
> clonced to them and when f'c case had
) ecn argued ere and con It always camu
> ack to the same old orooosltlon.
The democrats finally tired of the useless
onferences and on motion the convention
tdjourned sine die. No sooner was this ac
complished than the fusion boomers set to
work to repair the broken lines and after
onsldorablo work succeeded In getting the
democrats together again , though It Is not
quite clear what right the body had to
ransact business after it had adjourned
vlthout day.
So far as reaching an agreement is con
cerned , however , the session was Just as
barren of results as the former and regular
ono. The populists continued to insist on
Neville and the democrats on M. C. Harrlng-
on. Harrington finally withdrew , but the
democratic convention refused 'to ' name anyone
ono else as its candidate or to endorse any
one else. The conventions finally adjourned
with matters In that shape.
The democratic Judicial convention also
adjourned without endorsing Judge Sullivan ,
ho populist nominee.
The more the democratic delegates think
of the matter today the madder they get and
nnnnlv diplflrn Nnvlllfl ahall never ha\'O the
democratic endorsement and that they will
see to It that ho does not get the democratic
vote , which cuts a very considerable figure
n this district. The chances of the repub-
Icans carrying the big Sixth district wore
aright before , but it looks like a certainty
now that the last popocratlc congressman
has been returned from here.
HASTINGS , Neb. , Aug. 19. ( Special Tele-
; ram. ) There was plenty of politics In
iastlngs today , as the populists and demo
crats hold their county conventions to elect
delegates to the state and judicial conven
tions. As John Stevens , democrat , and R.
u\ . Batty , populist , both of Hastings , are can
didates for the district judgcshlp , there was
a bard and underhanded fight on In both
conventions and anything but harmony pre
vailed. The democrats held their conven
tion first , with Lem Tlbbotts presiding. A
motion was made to the effect that Mr.
Stevens be allowed to choose his own dele
gates. This opened the floodgates lor the
storm that was inwaiting. . W. H. Lan-
nlng and Editor Wahlqulst argued with the
convention in behalf of some fuslonlsts.
Editor Wahlaulst In his remarks accused
Stevens of assisting the populists to ap-
polntlvo. offices and neglecting the demo
crats. Stevens denied the allegation and hot
words followed , with the result that the
convention voted Mr. Stevens the rlcht to
select his own delegates.
While the democrats were about In the
thickest of their fray the populists were
preparing a bomb to bo exploded at the
right time. Francis Phillips presided ns
chairman of the populist convention , and
had ho not been as stern ns he was In all
probability the convention would still bo In
session. The real trouble came when the
delegates were toeing selected for the state
convention. Sam Milliner accused Batty
and others of doing some underhanded work ,
whereupon Batty retaliated "by saying that
he would not permit his honor and Integrity
to b ? questioned by anyone like Mr. Mil
liner. He then turned the tables on Mil
liner 'by showing up the scheme that had
been worked on Batty's crowd at the cau
cus.
Several times during the heated discus
sion that followed the chairman threatened
to have both centlemen removed from the
court room. It was only by chance that the
convention over waded throush this diffi
culty. The trouble in the convention has
put the Adams county delegates to the ju
dicial convention in such a. shape that there
Is no telling where they stand. It now
looks as If Batty and Stevens both stand n
poor chance of receiving the nomination , as
they have practically killed each other off
by the "bitter " fight made to secure dele
gates.
NELSON , Neb. , Atic. 19. ( Special Tele

MINDEN , Neb. , Aug. 19. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The populists and democrats held
their county conventions today and fused.

mittee. Ui > on a motion to adopt fusion in

followed and it was eald it would take
votes to fuse. The ticket Is not strong
and there Is some talk of another ticket

NORFOLK , Neb. , Aug. 19. ( Special. )
The democrats of 'Madison ' county assem
bled at this place yesterday afternoon and ,

Harvey and selecting delegates to the state

ject to the call of the chairman , Adjourn
ment 'was taken for the reason that the pop
ulists , who had called their convention at
a later date , had warned the democrats that
If an attempt was made to hog all the good
positions on the ticket there would be a
row In the fusion ramp. Only 100 delegatea
out of the 172 entitled to seats in the con

Probably two-thirds oC the people who
have trouble with their eyes can date
their symptoms back to some disease.
The flrst Indication of defective vision
developed Itself as a result of measles ,
scarlet fever , diphtheria or some other
severe Illness. While in most cases a
slight defect existed before the disease
the eyes are no longer capable of throwIng -
Ing off the defect and It developed into
.a constant Irritation. If every child
would wear glasses for a short time
after an illness of tills kind many cases
of permanent Injury could be avoided.
