Treasurer Hall received last Wednes
day a check for $438.15. being the
amount of the eslate of Karl Mauch,
deceased, which has escheated to the
state. Maurh died In Omaha some
time ago leaving no known heirs. AN
torney General Heed had charge of
the case.
Attorney General Willis R. Reed
requests every citizen of Nebraska
who has talked with officials or-employees
of the Burlington, North

Since May 1, 1915, to the present
time, the state Insurance commission
hna Ihbii(1 morn than 23.000 agents'
and Insurance company licenses to do
business In Nebraska, me nscai
year of Insurance licenses dates from
May 1 of each year. There are 3u
companies doing business In the
state and the amount or Are insur
ance in force, according to the 1915
preliminary report issued by the de
partment, totals $1,109,181,960. The
amount of lire and are risns written
during the year amounts to $535,
533.415, while the losses In all lines
were $11,114,518. The premiums
received will aggregate $18.922.0HS.
To correlate Ih h great mass of he
urcs and to fceep in touch with the
vast amount of business done by
these insurance companies require an
immense amount of effort and labor,
and as a result the Insurance depart
ment Is one of the busiest in the

Is a fallacy, of course, to think that

that is tbe argument mat is oeing
put. up by the railroads.
As far as dividends are concerned
railway stock Is in much better shape
than It ever was. and when It is as
serted that 35 per cent of all rail
way stock pays no dividends, It
should also be shown that In 1897
only 30 per cent of all railway Btock
paid dividends, and in 1914, which
was the last available figures, 67 per
cent or an railway biock paia aivi

Thus, a more detailed examination
