A motion wns ndoptcd to Increase tho

The if port of the committee on resolu
tions was read and adopted unanimously.
The report confirms the action of tho offi
cers and committees.
It was resolved to lend every possible
holp to carry out the wishes of tho national
board and to request the rating authori
ties to take Immediate, action In order that
more equitable ratings be adopted. In re
gard to the methods of many brokers the
report reads:
Whereas, the services and methods of
many brokers are of no value to property
owners, are unprofitable to companies and
unjust to agents, and,
Whereas, the Interests of all demand that
tho hrokerngo business be conducted In a
way less demoralizing and destructive:
therefore, we recommend to ngents, local
boards and all other associations of agents,
that they decline to write for non-resident
brokers upon the property of residents;
that In writing for non-resident brokers
upon the property of non-residents they re
quire that the broker offering business be
ond recognized by the underwriting asso
ciation having Jurisdiction over the town In
which bo resides or does business. That
tho rate or form of contract conform In
very respect with tho rating association
having Jurisdiction over the risk. That
no rebate will bo placed for business and
that the entire line Is placed In accordance
with such in rift rates, rules and regula
tion. Tho convention reaffirmed Its ndhereneo
to the principle of solo agency representa
tion at all points.
Tho place of holding tho next convention
was not decided today, but was left to tho
ixecutlvo committee to decide. The con
rentlon seemed to favor Louisville.
The convention adjourned slno die.

PARIS, Sept. 1. Over 600 German of
ficers have visited the Paris exposition
since April last, without tho slightest
hlndranco on the part ot tho French au
thorities. There has been some bitter
comment regarding tho dlfferenco between
the treatment of German officers visiting
France and that of French officers desir
ing to revisit Alsace-Lorraine. Tho only
formality required of tho German officer.?
Is that they register themselves nt the
bureau of the military governor of Paris.
One officer of very high rank and live su
perior officers were among the visitors.
The remainder of tho COO were muJoM,
captains and lieutenants. They began to
arrive soon nfter Kmpcror William's noto
In llio Itelehsanzclgcr. recommending them
to visit the exposition. Against tho com
plaisance of the French authorities, tho
Parisian press culls attention to tho ex
asperating treatment of French officers In
the annexed provinces. A case Is cited
whero a French officer was refused permis
sion to enter Alsace-Lorraine to bid fare
well to his dying mother. A number of
requests to enter met with refusals. It Is
said, and even where they ure eventually
granted, tho formalities arc Interminable,
often rendering tho position unacceptable.
A former mujor In the French army writes
to tho papers, staling that he recently
applied for authorization to enter Alsace
Lorraine, pointing out that he was 03 years
of age und had retired from tho army and
wished, before he died, to see his aged
sister again and to make n pilgrimage to
tho grnvo of his father and mother In the
cemetery nt Colmar. The reply ho re
ceived was an abrupt refusal.
Why (tie .Mn tin Kick.
Tho Matin, commenting on this, says:
"This means that tho famous circular re
garding the abolition of passports Is noth
ing but a snare, Issued with the object of
winning a welcomo for German officers
visiting the exposition, while secret orders
are given tho Alsatian officials to Increase
tho severity of the regulations regarding
tho uppllcatiqiiB of French officers to visit
tho lost provinces."
It Is admitted, however, that every facil
ity Is offered Frenchmen for visiting other
parts of Germany. In fact, tho umlablo at
tention of German functional lea is de
scribed ns embarras3lng.
Tho Official Medical Bulletin this week
reveals a disquieting sanitary situation lu
Paris. Statistics show that typhoid fever
prevails In nu almost epidemic form.
There, wore reported, from tho beginning
of tho year to August 13, 3,118 cases, ot
which r6$ resulted fatally. This Is a con
siderable Increnso of tho records of pre
vious years. Paris Is never froo from this
dlsense, but until 1898 tho number of cases
for tho corresponding period did not ex
ceed 700. Moreover, the tlgurcs for tho
last few weeks of the present year show
a perceptlblo increnso over thoso of tho
earlier periods. Tho prevalcnco and spread
of typhoid nre duo entirely to bad water.
One of tho sources from which Paris Is
furnished with wuter Is known to bo In
fected with typhoid bacillus, though tho
water from all the others is perfectly pure.
Tho authorities, however, declare that they
aro compelled to utlllzo tho contaminated
sourco because tho others aro Inadequate.
Tho publication of these alarming statis
tics may, however, spur tho responsible
authorities Into booking fresh sources.
Meanwhile, Parisians aro roconimended to
boll tho water they Ubo or to drink only
mineral waters.
French Hotter ririiseil.
The Chinese situation, ns viewed In
Paris, has assumed a brighter aspect. Tho

regarded as disposing of any question of

edly iih strongly favorable to the foregoing
policy ns that of uny power mentioned,
but It Is more pleasing to France that
uonus ot accord should bo shown between
the United Stntes, Franco and Russia, rvd
that theBO nations should appear to no
tho controlling Inllucnres toward peace.
America's wish to lmvo LI Hung Chang act
as go-bolween In the negotiations Is well
liked, although It is wished that ho nrn.
duco tangible evidence that he Is acting
tor tno central power. In fact, Franco
Is ready to treat with nny plenipotentiary

J. Hryan, democratic candldato for tho
presidency, made his second visit of tho
campaign to Indiana today. Ho arrived
about I o'clock, speaking briefly nt La
Torto cn route, and hero at greater length
tonight. He was well received at both
places.
At South Rend Mr. Hryan was escorted
to tho residence ot Hon. R. F. Shlvely,
whero ho wns introduced to members nf
tho reception committee and other promi
nent citizens.
At La Porte Mr. Uryan's arrival was
announced by firing of anvils and tho
shouts of people, who had gathered at
tho station. A plntform had been erected
uenr the depot and from this Mr. Ilrynn
talked for about ten minutes, whllo the
train took on a-dining car. He contented
himself with pointing out what he denomi
nated tho Inconsistencies of tho repub
lican party and tho means of meeting their
arguments.
Tho meeting held at this place tonight
was held upon the court house grounds. A
thunderstorm which struck tho city about
7 o'clock threatened to drive tho people
Inside, but Mr. Hrynn expressed prefcrenco
for an outside meethig, notwithstanding
that rain was threatened, and his wishes
wero acceded to. Ho had a lino audience,
regardless of tho untoward condition. Mr.
Shlvely presided at tho meeting, but he
contonted himself with n mere presentation
of Mr. Ilrynn. The Bpeech was a general
discussion of the Issues of tho campaign,
but especial attention was given to tho con
sideration of tho "paramount" Issue.
Mr. Uryan defended his course In advocat
ing tho ratification of tho pcaco treaty, say
ing he considered It prefernblo to havo the
treaty ratified to having another made by
tho samo pnrtles, believing It better to
elimtnnte Spain from tho question entirely.
If tho president could haul down the flag in
Cuba, 200 miles away, ho could certainly

BEATRICE. Sept. 1 (Special.) This
morning was tho tlmo agreed upon by
Dr. Lang, Ooernor Poynlcr and Dr.
Dcarlng when Dr. Lang was to vacate
the Institute for the Feeble Minded nt
this place and turn over the books, rec
ords and correspondence to Dr. Dcarlng.
Dcarlng came down this morning ex
pecting to take charge and ns per agree
ment In company with his attorney, Hon.
O. A. Murphy, met Dr. Lang and his at
torney, Judge Kretslugcr, In the tatter's
o (Ticc.
Tho nrtlrles of agreement and compro
mise which both parties were to sign had
been drawn up by Lang and were, In sub
stance. Hint Lang was to vncato today
providing tint Dr. Hearing receipted to
him In full for stnto funds on hand and
also for the reimbursement vouchers
which represented the nmount of Lang's
alleged shortage nnd which vouchers had
been marked o. k. by the Board of Public
Lauds nnd Buildings.
It was provided in tho wrKten agree
ment that should nny of the vouchers
prove unsntlbfurtory or no good that the
reclpt should bo null and void until tho
tame wero settled. It was also provided
that Lang nnd his bondsmen wero to be
released from all liabilities.
Murphy In Miilclon.
Dcarlng expressed his willingness to
sign the articles, but Mr. Murphy, his at
torney, wished to look over them first.
Lang ngrced to this and Murphy and Dcar
lng adjourned to Murphy s olflco to read
them over.
Shortly nfter tills they returned and
Murphy presented nnothcr agreement
drawn up by himself In which tho voucher
clnuso was eliminated. Lang refused
polntblnnk to sign any such agreement
and on being told that it wns nn unltlma-
turn, Informed the men that If anyone
presented nny nultlniatum It would bo
him ns ho was tho only one In a position
to do so.
Dr. Lnng became very excited and was
cautioned by Kretslngcr to "Do as I do,
doctor, and avoid trouble."
Lnng seized his hat nnd coat and
threatened to depart, saying that It an'
agreement wasn't reached today he would
stay nt tho lnstltuto until the supremo
court dissolved the Injunction.
In vain the attorneys tried to sootho the
doctor. Ho refused to bo soothed and
rushing to tho 'phone telephoned Poynter
and read tho agroement to him. Poynter
Immediately 'phoned Dcarlng at Murphy's
office and told him to sign Lang's agree
ment. Hearing's reply, which was over
heard by The Boo representative, was us
follows:
"I can't and won't sign that agreement,
I tell you I can't nnd won't."
Kretalnger then telephoned to Toynter
and then Murphy and Kretslnger consulted
over tho situation. Dr. Lang got tired of
waiting nnd, stating that he waB going to
dinner, started In his buggy for tho Insti
tute, bnylng that when Dealing was ready
to sign his agreement ho would talk to
him and not before.
Tho doctor stated that tho governor and
his party would come to his terms or .no
agreement would he reached and that ho
had a notion to stay nnywny.

"What shall I eat?" Is tho dully Inquiry
tho physician Is met with. I do not hest
tato to say that In my Judgment a largo
percentage of disease Is caused by poorly
delected and Improperly prepared good. My
personal experience with the fully cooked
food, known us Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speuk freoly ot Us morltB.
"From overwork, I suffered several yearn
with malnutrition, palpltutlon of the heart
and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led
to experiment personally with tho new foort,
which I need In conjunction with good rich
cow's milk. Iu a short time after I torn
menceil Itn uso tho disagreeable symptom!,
disuppeared, my heart's actlou become steady
anil normal, the functions of the stomach
worn piopctiy carried out und I again slopt
as soundly und as well as In my youth.
"I look upon Grapti-NuiH as a petfott
food, and no ono can gulnsay but that It
has a most prominent place In a rutlonai,
rclcntlflc system of feeding. Anyono who
uses this food will soon bo convinced of tho
