Of the agents and somo of them have dis
covered too late that the antl-comblnatlon
law passed by the legislature stood bo
twoen them And Jho managers of the com

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

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

companies as to risks of different character,

Word has been received of the death of
John A. Horbach jcaterday at his ranch In
Wyoming.
-Mr. Horbach wns one of the pioneer resi
dents of Omaha, coming to this city April
4, 1856. For threo years after coming to
Nebraska he wns clerk In the land office,
under Colonel Ollmore, receiver, nnd left
that ofllce to engage In the forwarding nnd
commission business. Tul waa an Im
portant work during tho days of trans
portation by steamboat and wagon train and
Omaha was one of tho Important junction
polnte between these systems for freight
destined for Colorado and points beyond.
Shortly after reaching Omaha Mr. Hor
bach entered and received u deed from
tho government for 1C0 acren of land lying
immediately north of tho first limits of tho
city. Later ho surveyed and platted this
land ns Horbach's First and Second addi
tions to tho city. This nddltlon started nt
Nicholas street, extending a quarter of a
mile north, Its weetern limit being Twenty
fourth street and Its eastern near Eleventh.
In 18G-7 Mr. Horbach was the local agent
of tho Merchants' Union Express company,
which nfterward became tho American Ex
press company. At tho organization of tho
Omaha Northwestern Itnllroad company
ho became a ockholdcr and wns elected a

position ho held during tho construction of
tho road from Omnha to Tckamah, only sur
rendering tho poltlon upon the absorption
of that line In the system of tho Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway
company In 1SS0.
Ho was a member of tho city council In
1870-71 nnd when tho construction of a
system of water works for Omaha was un
der consideration ho was a member of a
committee chosen by the council to vlttlt
tho cities of tho east nnd to report upon
the sjotoms then In -ogue. In 1888 ho wns
a stockholder In tho Omnha Motor Railway
company, but soon disposed of his Inter
ests. Ho was one of tho organizers of the
Omaha & Grant Smelting company, which
has been succeeded by tho American Smelt
ing and Refining company. Slnco 1874 ho
hn been largely engaged In the cattle bus
iness In the west, nt one tlmo having largo
holdings In southwestern Kansas. Lately
his cattlo IntorcslH have been centered In
Wyoming, In tho Rip Horn basin, whnro ho
was nt the tlmo of his death. Ho had boon

Mr. 'Horbach married In Allegheny, P.i.,
In Deccmbor, 18,'4, Miss Snlllo Wallace. Of
this union thoro wore born two children,
who, with tho widow, survive. Ono of theao
children Is Pnuf W. Horbach, now of Now

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.
I'lillrrtiiru .Mny llratrnlii.
Thero is soma talk among tho members
of tho pollco forco to restrain Treasurer
Koutsky from making n call for warrants
duo on the 1900 overlap. City Attornoy
Lambert has gono on record as saying that
these warrants need not bo paid, ns they
wore In vlolatlqn qf tho law. Tho law pro
vides that when funds are not available the
council must not Ibsuo warrants. 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. Naturally tho pollcemon
nnd firemen want their money and If thoy
organize, .as contemplated, and secure a
restraining order thoro will bo no call for
tho ovcrlnp warrants.

DR. ANDREW'S FIRST COYOTE

."r!rnk Friend.
Dr. James A. Andrews of Eustls formed
one of a story-telling group at tho Her
Grand hotel last night, and whon It was
his turn ho contributed" the following:
"When I first located In that community
It was tho height of my nmbltlon to shoot
a coyoto and several of tho boys, among
them Ed Dunlap, our banker, sold thoy
would try to accommodate me. 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).
" 'Now, this draw ho says, is literally
alive with coyotes, and there's one old
fellow makes his lair In that clump of
bushes ahead. 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.'
"I stalked the bushes and pretty toon
had. tho satisfaction of seeing them. move.
That gave mo the buck fever. I didn't
wait for a sight of tho beast, but lot drive
at tho ccntor of disturbance, and when
the smoko cleared nwny looked for tho
quarry. Thero was nothing In sight.
" 'You must havo dropped him atone
dead.' said tho guide.
"I ran 'to tho bushes nnd parted them.
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.
"Of course the Joke was on mo, and till
this day tho word coyoto mentioned In my
prcsenco Is n signal for n genornl laugh.
I kept tho varment threo weeks and then
poisoned It."

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.
One Claim Itejcrtrd.
Assistant City Attorney .Adams recom
mended that tho claim nf tho Somerset
Trust company for $600 damages to five lot3
In North Omaha because of tho grading of
Sherman avenue bo placed on file, stating
that thero was no equity In tho claim und
that It wns doubtful that tho lots wcra worth
60 before, the alleged overflow which re
suited from tho grading. 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.
The official bond of Louis Berka as police
juige of Omaha waa approved.
