discussing th matter of the Investment.

out hero and when they found out we wero
after their high-grade securit! we were
much sought after and were frequently
entertained at the fashionable restaurants
and were never unattended by bond seller
until after th moat careful consideration
and our lawyers opinions we had filled
our order and were ready to return to Ne
braska. We bought Chicago bond (a city
with les debt than almost any other in
the nation), Sooth Park bond, a bunch

Reserve Fund Obligatory.
"By the law of th order we are com
pelled to carry 25 per cent of our reserve
fund In government bonds. They axe safe,
but bring the poorest returns of any. It
Im sentiment, however. Incidentally, my
self and the other members of the finance
committee are under bonds of $700,000 each,
and a surety company bond at that. We
have bought $50,000 bonds this week, have
In the vaults1 $230,000 Omaha issues and are
now prepared to take whatever bonds this
city may Issue, but not at a high premium.
Our $700,000 bonds were bought so a to net
us about 4 per cent and the interest rate
In the bank now to depositor average
not over 2 per cent. t
"The fund for the accumulation of these
securities waa collected through the regular
assessment rate of the order, the mortuary
rate being far below even normal. Our
laws make it obligatory to segregate 10 per
cent of our assessments Into an emergency
fund and we did this before investing
money in bonds, so that the latter pur
chases are In addition to the obligatory
fund. We never buy a bond where any
Question ever has been raised on the pay
ment of an obligation. Repudiation is a
word not in the lexicon of the Woodmen.
"This great fund will continue to grow
and is an added assurance that when the
time comes for epidemics, plagues or un
usually mortality in our large and growing
order, there will be no defaults In payments
on assurances.
"Oh, yes, the bonds are safe, a it re

ARE YOU GOOD AT FIGURES?
The great success attained by the
Bankers Reserve Life Co.
Of Omaha, Nebraska,
suggests an interesting problem:
If the cash assets of -this progressive
company passed the $100,000.00 mark in
February, 1903,
WHICH IT DID,
and if this sum was further augmented in
the succeeding 16 months, or in June,
1904, to $2?0,000.00, showing a gain of
ISO per cent,
which n DID,
what will its resources
year from today?
The new 6 per cent investment policy now ready for
the insuring public will help you increase your resources.

BERTHA MAKES PLEA IN VAIN
Begi Judge for One More Chance, bat is
Bound Over.
SAYS OPERATION ONLY CAN 'CURE HER
Woman' Legal Status is Not Clearljr
Defined and She May Go to
Asylom Rather Than
Penitentiary.
"Judge, your honor, Just give me one
more chance and I'll be a good girl, so
help me goodness," pleaded "Fainting
Bertha" Llobecke when arraigned In police
court on the charge of larceny from the
person. She was found guilty a charged
and waa bound over to the district court.
Her bond was placed at 1400. The com
plaint was that while In the store of Max
Greenberger, 718 North Sixteenth treet,
Friday noon she took a purse from the
hip pocket of Mr. Greenberger. The re
ceptacle contained $3.10.
During the testimony of Mr. Greenberger
Miss Llebeck had little to say, but with
her keen sense of bumor laughed at the
many misunderstandings of the witness
when City Prosecutor Lee questioned him.
When the Judge announced his decision she
walked up to the bar, placed her arms on
the desk and with a look that suggested
the loss of a last friend, she said:
"Judge, I want to speak to you."
"What do you wish to aayt" asked the
Judge.
"Well, your honor, I want to say that
I will bave to go through an operation
before 1 can get over tills stealing habit.
I get those spells and then I want to steal;
I can't resist the temptation.1
Does Not Like Those Girls.
"They will look after you at the county
Jail," replied the police Judge.
"But I don't want to go to the county
Jail. I Just can't bear those girls up
there. X wan't to stay right here and I
won't go to the county JulV she rejoined.
Then Miss Liebecke was taken down
stairs and on the way she said to Mr.
Greenberger, "Come on Isaac" She then
was returned to her cell and soon gav
rent te hysterical demonstration after
which she would sing religious and popular
airs that echoed throughout the Jail cor
ridors. Fainting Bertha" was later taken t
th county Jail and her present legal
statu Is a matter of some speculation since
she already waa under charge In th
circuit court. It Is thought ah may be
sent to an asylum rather than a peni
tentiary. fined for Assanlt.
Th city prosecutor of Omaha said te th
Olty prosecutor of South Omaha In police
court, "The top o' tne mornin' to ye, Mr.
Fleharty." City Prosecutor Fleharty of
South Omaha appeared before Police Judge
Herka as attorney for P. H. Shea, charged
with assaulting John D. O'Connors severai
duys ago on the B. & M. tracks under the
Klevenlh street vladuot. Shea waa fined
tJa and costs. The story Is that O'Connor
was conducting seven strike breaker along
the tracks when Shea and a man named
Groves accosted some of the strike breakers
and told them not to go to South Omaha
and take other men's bread and butter.
Some words are said to have passed be
tween O'Connors aud Shoe, the latter as
saulting O'Connors, so it Is alleged. Shea
said he was a striking buU-her.

OMAHA IS G00DF0R HEALTH
City Blake Great Improvement la It
Record, Already One of
Beat.
According to the records of the health
department and the statement of Health
Commissioner Ralph July was one of the
most healthful months Omaha ever has
had. Only twenty-seven cases of con
tagious disease were reported, as follows:
Scarlet fever,'' nine; small pox, mild, six;
typhoid, two; chicken pox, one; diphtheria,
one; measles, seven; tuberculosis, one.
"Fewer Infants have died this summer
than for any year in a long time," said
Dr. Ralph. '"This Is due, no doubt, to the
cool weather. I think the milk supply, too,
is-, unusually good. Out of twenty-seven
samples analyzed not one has been found
Impure or tainted.
"So far there has been hardly any
typhoid. This 1 attribute to the fact that
a great many wells are no longer used.
The city water supply Is good and always
has been so. v
"The garbage question is working out
-atlsfactorily under the free dump arrange
ment. Private dumping grounds have been
abandoned and waste matter no longer is
scattered promiscuously about the city.
Individuals hauling garbage are charging
reasonable prices and little. If any. Is al
lowed to stand In alleys or back yards
and become a nuisance."
Worthy of Every Honor.
A sweet-faced old lady was walking down
one of the aisles of the Agricultural build
ing at the "St. Louis World's fair the other
day and stepped in front of an exhibit In
block 104.
"I'm so tired," she said to the gentelman
In charge, "and you look so cool and pleas
ant In here. Can't I come In and rest a few
mlnutesT"
''Certainly, madam," replied the gentle
man. "Com right In and make yourself
comfortable."
The old lady entered and sat down; after
which she put on her glasses and began
to scrutinize the exhibit "Why, this Is a
whisky exhibit, I see!" was her remark a
few moments later."
"Tes'm," said the gentleman, with a little
uncertainty In his mind as to what the old
lady' opinion about whisky might be.
"Thl is the Quaker Maid Rye exhibit, and
It 1 made by S. Hlrscb A Co. of Kansas
City." A the old lady did not show signs
of perturbation at this announcement the
gentlemaa felt encouraged. "It Is the purest
whisky on the market, ma'am," he con
tinued. "We make and bottle It ourselves,
and therefore can guarantee It. Per
haps you will favor us by trying a little,
ma'am," he suggested. In another moment
the old lady wa sampling with relish a
little whisky mixed with water.
TH you know, that's the best whisky I
ever drank," she confided, aa she got up to
go. "Between the rest and the whisky I
feel like a new woman. I'm sure I hope
th Quaker Maid will get the grand prise
or th gold medal, or whatever other
honors the exposition give. I know It de
serves the best"
