r,
Ilsrdly a day passes In which we do not j
'ead In the papers reports nf a suicide, ae- I
conipanled by the cheerful statement that
He I't-sd man has left his family well pro
vided for. being heavily Insured In sevpral
companies. When misfortune, either pres
ent or prospective, has rendered the cares
of life too heavy, suicide la sometimes the
first remedy thought of. The desire to
escape personal responsibility In aome fin
ancial disaster and at the same time to
make Rood provision lor those dependent
upon one for their support la often a potent
motive for self-destruction. The most con
venient means of attaining these two ends
Is to take out an Insurance policy before
pressing the trigger or turning on the gas
or Jumping off the bridge.
The truth of this Is so widely recognized
that Insurance companies generally refuse
to pay any claims on policies taken out
by suicides less than one year, and some
times three years, before death. When a
man In desperate straits Is compelled to
wait one or two years before yielding to
the temptation, when furthermore he Is
compelled to hustle In order to secure the
money for paying his premiums, the
chances are that he will let some of his
policies lapse and get on his feet again
somehow.
A Kreat 'many people try to defeat the
dreaded clause and exhaust their Ingenuity
in Tinning, soon after becoming Insured,
some form of self-destruction which will
pass for a genuine accident. Be It said,
for those who might be tempted to cheat
the Insurance companies, that the trick
generally falls. Still, many are the ex
pedients resorted to by suicides to accom
plish their double purpose. In fact, one
of the earmarks which Indicate fraud Is
the overwrought pains which the princi
pal actor In the tragedy takes to prepare
and make easily explainable what might
otherwise appear mysterious In his act.
Many are the cases on record where a
man has caused his own death by over
drinking. Suoh cases are hard to contest,
and the only arguments in favor of th
companies are Information as to the sui
cide's embarrassments or his well-known
sobriety In th past.

A farmer of Johnson county, Missouri,
tried to give th Impression that h had

his body had been dragged through the
bushes. Unfortunately, the couise of the
bullet was such that logically It should
have first come through his horse's body.
Neither his shoulders nor his hands pre

boots failed to exhibit the tear subsequent
to a dragging of the dead body through

A flrtarexia Case.
On of th moat picturesque cases of
fake death was that of George Shepherd
of Alexandria, Va. One evening he and
hi brother Jama Invited a neighbor,
"BUI" Whit, to g fishing a the Po-
game wa up he confessed.
While his brother James, who was In the
secret, and "Bill" White, who knew noth
ing about It, were scouring the river In
the night, George was clinging to the rud
der of the boat, protected against curious
glances by the peculiar overhanging stern.
When the two men had made the land, he
had crept ashore and hidden himself In
the bushes, and while the sleeplers farmers
were dragging the Potomac mud he had
fled to the cache In the swamps, where he
and his brother had accumulated provi
sions, cases of food and other supplies.
gaaplcloos of Drawings.
Taught by experience Ilk th preceding,
the majority of companies refuse to pay
death claims until th deceased man's body
Is produced. They are especially suspicious
of drowning cases, for rivers, lakes and
seashore resorts lend themselves too com
placently to mysterious disappearances of
policy-holders.
Borne years ago a Boston business man,
who had embarrassed his affairs by a long
continued series of forgeries, endeavored
to solve the difficulty by making a "mys
terious disappearance." He took passage
on a Fall River boat, chatted and played
cards lata Into the night with friends who
happened to be on board. The next morn
ing he was not to be found anywhere on
the boat; the door of his stateroom was
open, and there were his clothes, hat,
shoes and his dress suit case, with other
belongings. He must have fallen or
Jumped overboard during the night.
Unfortunately, Insurance detectives found
hair trimmings on the floor and the towels
looked as though they had been freshly
used to wipe off a razor's blade. B. wore
a full beard and mustache.
Following this clew, the detectives trailed
him to Ban Francisco, where, under an
assumed nam and with clean shaven face,
he was employed In a department store.
After retiring on the night of the "acci
dent." he had shaved off all his facial
growth, clipped his hair short, put on a
cloth cap, a cheap shoddy suit and a labor
er's black shirt, which he had brought In
his grop. Completely changed In appear
ance, he had left the boat unrecognized by
any one.
One of the large companies In this city
Is puzzling out a somewhat similar case
which occurred recently. A young busi
ness man disappeared and his clothes were
found In a bathhouse at one of the beaches.
Every one admitted the drowntng theory
until It was noticed that the watch found
In his clothing was his wife's wstch. A
watchmaker had returned to him his own
gold watch the day before the "accident."
He wore a heavy solitaire ring on his
finger when he left his office: the only
ring he had left In the bathhouse's "wrap
per for valuables" was a cheap gold filled
affair; h used to carry a large amount of
cash about his person; he only checked
S2 and a few cents with the keeper.
Not a few "drowned men" are discovered
thousands of miles away from their
former homes, living with women for
whom they deserted their wives, thus do.
Ing away with the bother of divorce pro
ceedings. A few dead men whose wives
were constantly watched by the companies'
sleuths have been arrested when their
widows went to live with them, or even
married them again under a new nam
after a year or o had elapsed.
A quarrel over the spoils brought to light
an Interesting case, when a woman who
had gone through a fictitious marriage
ceremony with her own brother, received
a death claim. Her brother-husband had
fallen through an airhole In the ice In
the presence of three witnesses. Too many
accomplices spoiled the otherwise success
ful transaction. The clergyman who had
performed the marriage ceremony recog
nized one of the three witnesses as the
very bridegroom who was then testifying
as to his own death.
But for the greed of one of the confed.
crates another fraud would have been per
petrated, for every detail of the case had
been so Ingeniously calculated that. In
spit of th fact that the body had not
been recovered, the testimony of the three
witnesses had never been questioned.
In a great many eases when insurance
specialists scent fraudulent manipulation
their position Is very delicate, for contest
ing too many claims at court may Injure
a company's standing. Now York Times.

BURKETT, Neb., Oct 2 To th Editor
of Th Bee: If possible, let your paper say.
a word in behalf of the old soldier. Under
the last two year' management (or pre

Home have been treated more as serfs
than as men who made It possible for oth

are made to feel they are mere beggars
through accepting what the state provides.
It Is supposed th state pays for th best.
but the supplies ar very Inferior, both as
groceries and wearing apparel. The com

largest rooms on the main floor. Two

It Is outsiders who sre reaping more bene
fits from the home than the old soldier. Is
this what the taxpayers expect? If It were

OMAHA. Oct. 26.-TO the Editor of The
The Bee: A number of people have asked
m how I am going to vote on United

your permission through your paper, that
I am a republican, first, last and all th
time, and that I always stand by my party
candidates, and will, therefore, vote for
Senator E. J. Burkett. I opposed Senator
Burkett in the primaries because of a
personal matter, but the great republican
party by an overwhelming majority chose
Senator Burkett as Its candidate, and as
I ballcv in th good sense of the repub
lican party more than I do In my own, 1
will support Senator Burkett this fall.
It would be a great mlstaks for a re
publican to vot for Hitchcock, because
he surely could not and will not represent
the great progressive republican party,
