Tho.Llfe Underwriters' association en
Joyed a pleasant banquet at the Millard
hotel Saturday evening. Covers were laid
for about .forty members, with W. A.
Smith of the Phoenix company of Hartford
as tosstmaater.
Arthur C. Bmlth, the head of the M. E.
Smith Dry Goods company, was the Burst
of honor cf the evening, this distinction
being glvun him as the most heavily In
sured man of Omaha.
Those present at the banquet were W. A.
Smith of the Phoenix, John Steele of the
Northwestern of Milwaukee, John Dale of
the Aetna, Henry Neeley. William Henry
Brown, 8. R. Elson of the Equitable,' Mr.
Leonard of the Oermanla, C. 2. Gould, H.

Viewpoint of llnsnred.
Following- the disposal of a very enjoy
able menu Arthur C. Smith, as the guest
of honor, was called upon for a brief ad
dress. Mr. Bmlth started out by saying
that ha was a strong believer In life In
surance and that ha beltoved It to be one
of the best Investments a man could make
In view of the vicissitudes of life. "The
durability of the great life Insurance com
paniea was shown by their Withstanding
the terrtflo lambasting they received a few
year ago," he said, "and they still con
tinue business at the old stand. The In
vestigations had the one good effect of
trlslng the standard of morality of the
Trsura.no companies. However, I do not
Relieve that the morals of the Insurance
companies were any worse than those peo
ple In the legislatures who were endeavor
ing to enact hold-up bills against thtss
companies.' which necessitated the Insur
ance companies maintaining a 'yellow fund'
as a necessary protective asset. It too often
t happens that the Interest of the stock
holder of an Insurance company la con
fined to the payment" of his premium
or tha receipt of hit dividend. One
thing can be said of the old line com
paniea, that their premiums decrease as
those of the assessment companies ln
crease."
Tribute to K. Rosewater.
Tha other speakers were John Steele, H.
R. Gould. John Dale, SL. E. Zimmerman
and Henry D. Neeley. Mr. Neeley la one
cf the pioneer of tha Insurance business
.ln Omaha, and one of the founders of the
" Le Underwriters' association. He read
A an extract from mi address delivered by
the late Edward Rosewater, who was the
guest of honor at a meeting of the aseo
clatlon held at the Murray hotel In 189S,
In which Mr. Rosewater paid a high tribute
to the system of life Insurance. In re
ferring to the late Mr. Rosewater, Mr.
Neeley classed him as one of the staunch
est friends of life Insurance west of the
Missouri river, and life Insurance owed
much to hirn for the stand he always took
for It, both In his oral publlo uttcranoca
and through the editorial columns of The
Bee.
Several of the others .spoke In the most
reverent terms of Mr. Rosewater and the
friendship , he had always shown Tor the
life losuranoe business and Its agents. Mr.
Zimmerman In a brief address spoke of the
potency of the newspapers In making or
breaking great enterprises and the loyalty
of the newspapers In refraining from any
alarming attacks upon the financial Inter
ests of the country during the critical
yertod of the last month of November.
Mr. Steele's address bore upon the great
good accomplished by lire Insurance as an
almnnnr rtt nuhlln rfv.nl n rl ..vt tha atart-
figures that the twenty-right leading
larurance companies oi me unnea Busies
carried approximately $10,000,000,000 of Insur
ance on the lives of the people of the
United States, or about $130 for every man,
woman and child In the country. They pay
n average of tSOO.000 per day to their

younger men should enter more largely Into
the activities of the life Insurance business,
and he believed that the business was but
practically In Its Infancy today, wlth-aJl Its
present Immensity.
A rising vote of thanks was given to Ar
thur C. Smith for his address.
The meeting closed with a short business
session of a mere routine nature. The an
nual meeting of the association will be held
In January, when the officers for the new
year will be elected.
LIFE TRAITS IN THE DESERT
Animals and Vegetation Armed by
Natnr Acalnst Extinc
tion. ,
Almost all life on the desert goes armed.
In the vegetation world of the desert
the cactus comes first with lta numberless
species. They are all armed with long or
short tough spines that can penetrate thu
thickest boot The solitary and often gro
tesque "Joshua" or Yucca, the mesqulto,
the. catsrlaw and numberless shrubs
whose names have' not been written, all
are armed In one way or another. 'Borne
exude poisonous sap, others nauseating
odors. The sage brush Is about the only
one that does not seem to have any pro
tection. In the animal kingdom most are either
armed with sharp teeth, spines, odors, or
poison to serve to keep their enemies at a
dlstanoe, while the others depend upon
their fleetnoss or artful skulking and
hiding. s
The aplned and repulsive Gila monster,
the. horned toad, the sidewinder with his
two horn and deadly fangs, and Its
cousin, the desert rattlesnake; the taran
tula, scorpion, and desert bee, each of
whose sting Is exceedingly painful and
sometimes fatal, are among the desert's
denixens. Then there are many varieties
of llxards, large and small and of many
colors, who protect .themselves, y.ther;
speed alone. The prowling coyote, bobcat,
mountain Hon, jack-rabbit, cottontail,
mountain sheep, Ibex, antelope, and an
occasional deer are there.
Among the smaller animals are the
gopher, kangaroo rat, trade rat, hydropho
bia skunk, ground squirrel and Innumer
able mice. But the traveler seldom sees
any of these. The prospector, however,
soon becomes acquainted with them. The
first, or at the latest, second night of his
stay In any one camp, he will be visited
by a trade rat, who will carry away all
that portion of his ouutt that Is not too
heavy for his ratshlp to handle and re
ligiously leave some stick or stone In Its
plaqe.
A hydrophobia skunk will be apt to call
and lunch from any bacon rinds that may
be lying about, not disdaining a nip at
Mr. Prospector's nose if tha opportunity
offer.' It Is said and firmly believed by
the sons of the desert that the bite of
this little skunk produoes hydrophobia.
The Oila monster Is seldom seen, and the
writer after having spent nearly a year
on the borders of Death Valley has yet
to see one of them at large. Rattlesnakes
are also scarce, except In some favorable
locality.
Th mountain sheep and ibex are grad
ually becoming tame, and -this summer
they have come to springs where miners
were camped as regularly, aa domestic
stock and with little more timidity. The
mountain quail follows the miner and his
burro. In the Avawats mountains they
were unknown until this year, but they
are abundant there now. It is an unwrit
ten law among the miners on the desert
that no game animals or birds shall be
killed or In any way disturbed unless one
Is In actual want, and ha must make
proof convincing of that fact If he kills a
quail or sheep.
All life on tha desert, lives toy Its power
to resist thirst. All desert plsnts are so
constructed that they are able to con
serve and store up moisture against tin
time of drouth. This necessity . has
wrought peculiar forma of both animals
and plants, and In time it also lfwvea Its
Indelible mark upon men who dwell amid
its wastes. Tha leaves of all desert trees
are small and thick, so that they expose
as little surface as possible for evapora
tion In the dry air. Tha'great and, ever
present evidence of the struggle for water
Is noticeable everywhere where men come
together on the desert. In this -struggle
all who come to the desert must engage
Instantly.. Every wagoa must have ILs
water barrels, every burro his water bags,
each man his canteen. Los Angela Tune.

r.lanch Rean has been for the last ten
days In the South Omaha hospital, where
her wanted body still feebly tries to combat
the awful ravages of starvation. Bhe KJ
said to be 10 years old, but the brain has
been robbed of nourishment until she has
only the Instinct of an Infant. She eats
and drinks and sleeps, but that Is at present
the whole of her existence. The hospital
authorities think she has gained a little
In strength and may with proper care
and food be restored. The story of her
condition Is gruesome and the only strange
thing Is that It haa been concealed so
long. The family lives In a section known
as Bluff Town, a place Just over the
Sarpy county line and back of Laurel Hill
cemetery. It la a place out of the way,
and since the case was discovered the Sarpy
county authorities have handled it. Bhe
was discovered by a local minister and
when 'found was concealed in a shattered
hay loft half exposed to th weather. She
had been subjected to exposure and not
provided with sufficient food. Her reason
quickly tottered and she appeared foolish
and had then been concealed In the . loft
Not enough Is known of the parent at th
present writing to make an absolute state
ment of the degree, of their responsibility,
but It Is certain If It can be shown that
they are legally responsible they will be
prosecuted. The father Is said to be a
man of low mentality, who has been seen
hanging about the police court many times
during the last summer, a man of most
unprepossessing appearance. When lie came
to South Omaha he had the daughter In
soma convent, anylum or home either In
Iowa or In Omaha. He went several times
to Rev. James Wise to try to get his daugh
ter back. Mr. Wise would not make any
recommendations for him. Since coming
here he Is said to have married again and
finally to have secured the girl. Her decline
dates from the time he got possession of
ner. lie told the hospital authorities that
he had anothr child who died In Beatrice
in the same manner that this child ap
peared about to die. He said her condl-
A . ' .
non was aue 10 a disease and not to

think slow death from meager food or In
digestible material la the chief cause. She
has the appearance of the later stages of
tuberculosis, It Is true that the family Is
m very straightened circumetanoea and
that the man Is practicably Incapable of
supporting ny one. Nothing could be
learned last night of the woman who should
have stood lrt the place of a mother.

today and I prepared to take any steps

Wall Street.
OMAHA, Dec. 7. To th Editor of The
Bee: It 1 aa true now aa It has been
for thirty year that whenever the exigen
cies of partisan politics and financial dl'
turbance come upon th country "Wall
street I blown out upon the angry
wave of unreason and public clamor as
th source of all our woes. Leaders of
political parties who ar Ignorant, and
other who ar designing, frequently sup
ported by newspapers which ar mer
grinder of grist, seldom fall to project the
cry of "Wall street" Into- controversy as a
hotbed of financial deviltry which 1 wg.

ment of "predatory wealth," a It 1 now
the faahion to call It, In the volubl and
vociferous vocabularies , of . tha political
charlatan and demagogue., . In the present
crisis m our affair It la . "Wall trcet"
again, with the old variations, that I on
th tongue of thousands as It chief eause.
But what I Wall 'street ntr a matter of
fact? I will, with tha permission of The
Bee, try to answer my own question In a
plain and candid way.
Wall street a a physical entity ha been
aid to be narrow allay In the metrop
olis of our country, with a pond of dirty
water at one end and a graveyard at the
other" the East river at the east end and
Trinity churchyard and Broadway at the
west end. But the Wall street of finance
I the money center of the hemisphere, and,
next In rank to London,, of the civilized
world. It probably contain more wealth
In money or its convertible equivalents
than any other pjace on the planet. In
cluded in th general meaning of "Wall
treet" Ur bank of Issue and deposit and
banks of trust, located In that street and
many outside of It, whose combined car-
Ital and possessions mount Into billions of
dollar.
But Wall street la much mor than this.
It 1 the trad center of a great nation
of people, th weather bureau of a mighty
national and international commerce, the
barometer of all trade and the commercial
condition of th whole country. It la the
exchange canter and clearing house, the
borrowing and lending place, where men
buy and nell and tlx th value of all com
modities that find their way to th market.
It ! In thi great mart also, a everybody
know, that evidence of credit in th
form of share of stock and bends of
corporate properties ar fixed from day
to day, and from hour to hour, when the
Stock exchange I open, a the thermometer
mark temperatur In th glass tube. It
Is, as ha been already said, the market
In which everything that is used by the
teeming million of th clvillxed world I
bought and old, and In which buyer and
seller measure swords, or rather, brain,
with each other for gain. Wall street. It
need hardly be said. Is also the theater
of speculation tn everything th world pro
duce to satisfy th want of the human
race. It I In Wall street that exploitation
of scheme and swindles whose victims
cannot be counted for multitude, and for
whom experience ha no lesson. Th late
governor of New York, Roawell P. Flower,
one told me that only about four men
out of a hundred who speculate In Wall
street succeed. It I a sad commentary
on hi own estimate of failure In Wall
street that the governor' himself was
caught In th maelstrom, lost much of his
own large fortune, and. rt la believed, died
prematurely from th shook. But Wall
street of speculation are all over th
world. They are most numerous wherever
Anglo-Saxon blood circulates In I he vein
of men. Omaha. ha it little Wall street.
All of which 1 but another way of saying
that the spirit of gambling for material
gain la th Inherited vice of all races and
condition of men. I have the opinion that
among all gambler th Indian 1 the most
Inveterate and desperate. Stop gambling
and speculation by statute, did you say'
On might aa well attempt to eradicate
the crowning social evil of every nation
or atop th mighty torrent of Niagara
with a puff balL
Th Idea ha widely prevailed among
the peopl of this country, thank to th
politician, that th Wall street of their
Imagination ha been, and ia, a manac
and a destroyer of their prosperity and
welfare. On th contrary, I think th
really intelligent opinion, which th Judg
ment of th wiser men confirms, Is, that
it la of Inestimable Importance and value
to th whole country. I think It demon
trabl that, a th great eeuter for mobil
ising capital for th development of th
country it haa done more than all other
agenciea which th wit of man haa ever
devised ouUld of Lombard street, Lon
don. Wall street saved th union. But
for Wall street patriotism and power in
supplying "th sinew of war" at the out
break of th rebellion, and In emergencies
afterward, Antietant. Gettysburg and Ap
pomattox would never hav been fuught.

Wall street. Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit,
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis,
St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and the
great, chain of cities, market and Indus
trial center, large and small, could not
have been- possible in a hundred year but
for Wall street.
Wall street brought thousands of mil
Hons of cheap money from beyond the
seas for the develeopment and progress of
this nation, the richest In natural wealth
and resource on the globe. The first
Union Pacific bridge at Omaha was built
with the money of the Dutch which Wall
street helped to get.
Henry Farnam built the first railroad
west of Chicago to Galena more than fifty
years ago. Chicago la now the terminus
of more than forty railroads, and Omaha
of fourteen. Wall street did It, and the
whole west Is grldlroned with these power
ful agendas by and through the financial
aid of Wall street which have populated
and enriched the country beyond th wild
est dream of men. By furnishing th
cheapest and swiftest transportation of
raw and finished product to and from
th Atlantic seaboard th world ha ever
known the railroad have mad our coun
try opulent and powerful beyond human
power to estimate, not msrely In material
wealth and the strength that come with
It to nation as to men, but also In every
element of happiness which civilisation and
enlightenment, religious, moral and Intel
lectual, can confer upon th son and
daughter of men. GEORGE L. MILLER.

SOUTH OMAHA, Dec. T. To the Editor
of The Bee: It I developed. In th recent
circular to subscribers Issued by th local
telephone company, that th extensively
advertised reduction tn telephone rate 1
not, In truth, a reduction at all. but. In
fact, more In the nature of a Joke,
Subscribers on party-Una or other limited
circuit can only secure a reduction In
rates by accepting a sweeping curtailment
of their service.
In other words, pay th old rat, or
Keep on your aid of th son."
Mr. Varc Lane (a mighty fin gentle
man, by th way), developed an unsus
pected vein of humor In springing this
joke before he left Omaha.
