The report. Is that the companies In tbt Western Iiiflilranco union Intond shortly lo put Into effect the graded commission rule and the separation rule adopted by the union mmn time ngo and enforced In fttmoat all of the western states Iowa be ing a notr.blo exception, Undor the graded commission rule the local agents arc re quired to nssnmc a risk as well as the companies. No commissions nre paid on premiums written, but at the end of the year the total business of each agent Is computed and the total losses ascertained. On the net profit for the year from this business commissions at the rate of 20, or In per cent aro paid. This plan Is the only 'one adopted by the companies lo avoid what Is called the "moral risk" In policies, the gent being moro careful In examining Into the condition of the houses Insured than vrhero ho secures his commission on pre miums regardless of tho character of the Tlsk or tho amount of loss entailed by tho kiuslnesA written. What (he .Audita Say. Hpenklng of this phase of the question lo cal agents say that whore conditions exist mich as have been In force In Omaha during tho last six or sevon years the profits to tho Bgents would be larger thnn at presont, but that few of tho ngents can nfford to wait for their commissions until nfter the close nf the year In which they are written. Other agents say that If such a course is pursued they .will drop all "union" com panion nnd write Ineuranco In those outside of tho combine exclusively. If the second rulo mentioned, that of sep aration, Is enforced, tho agents will be Riven tho prlvllego of a choice between tho companies In tho combine nnd those on tho outside regardless of their feelings on tho subject of graded commissions, for the sep aration rule means that no agont will bo permitted to represent both union and non union companies. Persons famlllnr with tho subjoct say that this rulo Is made by tho union companies for tho reaspn that local ngents uso tho knowledge they secure from tho union to assist them In doing business tor tho non-union companies; thnttho union maintains a bureau which supplies each tigont with Information aa to tho character of risks and tho experlcnco of tho different companies as to risks of different character, nnd that this Information Is used by the agent lri handling tho business of tho non union rompany, which pays no part of tho xpenso of securing the data. Oholeei Mar llo Ktiiltarmmtlnir. Some of the older agencies In Omaha rep resent companies both In tho union nnd out of It, and of the Individual companies those utQfJh.e union dp more business than those In the association, bo sovcrnl of the agents are in doubt as to what tourse to pursue Vhen th two rules aro promulgated In this State.

CITY WILL ENFORCE THE ORDINANCE Micht Will lie i:tnlillheil anil Con I of Maintenance Churned tn the, Itall ronil Comnnnr with Its Tnxea. The city authorities are determined to enforce the ordinance recently passed com pelling railroad companies to maintain electric lights at certain strcot crossings. When tho ordlnanco went Into effect the Burlington road acceded to tho demands and so did somo of the other roads. The Rock Island road has not paid any attention to any of tho notices sont and so tho city officials propose to have a light placed nt Madison and Wnshlngton streets and sco to It that tho tax commissioner Includes tho cost of the' maintenance of this light In tho taxes assessed against the company next year. Thero Is another thing tha council will ask of tho Rock Island, and that is that tho namo of Albright ho changed to South Omaha. Tho Rock Island station In tho southern part of tho city Is now known as Albright and It Is thought that when tha attention of tho company Is called to this fact tho desired change will be made. By energetic work the council has suc ceeded In saving a considerable sum of money to taxpayers In tho matter of lights by compelling rnllroad companies to main tain lights nt certain crossings. In tho Missouri Pacific changes to bo made tn tho northern yards thero wilt be some neod of additional lights and these will havo to bo maintained by tho railroad, as tho city is now spending moro than Is allowed by law for street lights.

In case tho overlap warrants aro not called, thero will bo monoy enough on hnnd to support both tho flro and pollco departments dur ing tho winter.

They knew where tho coyotes hung out, they said, and somo Saturday afternoon they'd Introduce me to a bunch of them, "About a week later we started out, fully a dozen of us, alt armed to tho teeth, and when wo were about live miles from town my guldo pointed to a sort of gully ('draw' they call them out thero).

Slnco It's your first ex perience at coyoto shooting, you go ahead and take a crack nt him with the rifle, nnd if ho gets away, woil llo In wait for him with tho shotguns.'

There was tho coyoto nil right a poor, scrawny, razor-backed beast, with tho hair coming off in patches but he waa tho liveliest brute I over Baw. I hadn't oven winged him. Tho reason ho hadn't run away was that thoro was a collar around his neck and ho was chained 'to a llttlo tree.

City At torney Connell paid It was completed, but was In tho hands of General Solicitor Kelly of the railroad company, who had not finished scrutinizing It In time for Its pro sentatlon at tho meeting. It is probable that a special meeting will bo hold today tor this purpose. Ono such meeting was called for 11 o'clock this morning to con sider on final passago tho ordinance pro viding for repavlng Twenty-fourth street from Lako to Spauldtng streets, but tho contract matter was not Included In the call, Tho rush on this new repavlng dis trict Is so that it may bo dono this year, work commencing next week, if possible. Tha ordinance by Mr. Zlmman preventing tho barking dogs at night waa Introduced and read tho first and second times, amid considerable morrlment. Netv Pnvlnsr Ordinance. Other new ordinances provided for repnv lug Twenty-fourth avenue from Harney street to St. Mary's avenue, Twenty-fourth street between Lako nnd Spauldlng strcots and for opening an alley west of Eloventh street from tho alloy north of Nicholas street to the south lino of Cunningham's nddltlon.

Tho veto by Mayor Moorcs of an Item of 54 In tho last appropriation ordinance wns sustained. This sum was to como from the general fund nnd was In favor of C. T. Gil day. Tho mayor's explanation of tho veto follows: T veto this Item on ncoun.t of thn excos riVo chnrge. On October 3 the, Item of IR for a hack nnd funeral I do not think should be paid. Wo havo a contrnct with Mr. Gllday for taking patients to tho hos pital nt tno rato of $6 each, which under the circumstances Is not tno much; but on October 21, 20 and 29 they have three charges for hacks nt Jfl nnd 13 for' wagon, making J9 for each Item. This I too much and It looks to mo as though thero whs a nleo little graft In theso chnrges. Here after I shall have all of these bills brought to mo nnd I shall try and cut down these expenses, which hnve become cnormoux In tholr total. I veto this bill because I do not think it Is correct nnd should not bo pald.j Property Owner Offer to Grade. A resolution was offered by Mr. Trostlcr providing for nllowlng property owners nloag Thirty-third strcot botweou Webster and Burt streets to .reduce tho street to tho established grade at their own expense. Strenuous objection was raised to this proposition by councilman and by City En gineer Roeewatcr, who said that It was un wlso to establish this precedent, which would make tho expense of grading the street unequal among property ownors. Those living on tho portions which aeoded much grading would suffor by this method,, it costing them more than tho others. Mr. Trostlcr thcreforo withdrew tho resolution. It being decided that tho work should bo left entirely to the city, to be paid for by a tax assessment and levy as usual. A veto by Mayor Moorcs of ono Item In tho appropriation ordlnanco passed at tho last regular meeting was not sustained. Tho Item provides for tho payment of $6,500 from tho curb, gutter and paving fund to tho Grant raving company. Tho mayor vetoed thlH because tho expcndlturo was not contem plated at the tlmo tho yearly levy was made and ho did not deom It legal nor equltahlo to uso up for this payment tho cntlro fund which had been Intended for tho fixed an nual charge against tho fund of )5,6i3.86 by the Barber Asphalt raving company for tho steady repairs of certain Htrocts.

Tho recommends tlon wns adopted. A resolution by Mr. Karr providing for tho sitting of the council as a board of equalization for three days beginning De cember 10, for tho purposo of considering and equalizing tho proposed levy of special taxes nnd assessments to cover tho cost of various street and sewer Improvements, was adopted.
