"Well," remarked Little Johnny

self-satisfied smile that would have
made Lucifer envious.
It wiil also be admitted that when
Mr. Thurston takes his pen in haud

occupation oer there for years is btit

made of it from a financial standpoint.

Auditor Moore Is Right.
The contest now being waged In the
equity court of Douglas county, before
Judge Keysor, wherein Eugene Moore,
state auditor, demands that the inter
ests ofVpolicy-holders in the alleged
Insolvent Omaha Fire Insurance com
pany be protected by the stockholders.
is of vital interest to Insurers in the
state of Nebraska.
The company was organized and au
horized to transact business under
the general insurance laws of Nebraska
n 1889, and annually thereafter, under
date of December 31, made sworn
statement of the condition of the com
pany's finances andjinsurance in force.
to the stato auditor, as required by
law, and procured a certificate to trans
act business for the twelve months
next ensuiner. The statement tiled to
the close of business December 31, 1895,
disclosed under oath of A. T. Rector,
president, and S. D. ""Josseyln, secre
tary, that the available assets aggre
gate $183,365.80, and that the liabili
ties were:
Losses unpaid 4,500.00
Unearned premiums WJ.WCIHJ
All other unnaid claims 4,244.55
Canital stock lttJ.UAUU
Surplus - t,61S.3T)
Total $1S3.35.36
In the early part of February, 1896,
Auditor ' Moore directed one of his
special examiners to enquire into the
solvency of the company and verify
the figures of the "annual statement,
brintrinir the examination down to
January 31, 1S91. This examination
was proceeded with until the morning
of February 22, and on the morning of
February 24 E. S. Stone, a director
since tbe organization of the company
and one of its promoters, files a peti
tion alleging- the insolvency of the
company and asking for the appoint
ment of a receiver, the petitioner
claiming that the assets are prac
tically worthless and that a pressing
obligation of $65,000 exists. Return
premiums, $35,000.00, and other claims
(fire losses, etc.) $30,000.00. Following
the petition of Director Stone, Earl
W. Garmett. director and treasurer
ol the company, is appointed receiver.
and this latter gentleman by devious
methods attempts to obtain the can
cellation of existing policies without
payment of return premium, so as to
relievo his co-partner stockholders of
this liability. Auditor Moore, on re
ceiving knowledge of this scheme and
a partial report of the condition of the
company, appears as an intervenor and
asks the court to take such steps as
will compel the receiver and stock
holders to protect their outstanding
policies either by the payment of un
earned premiums to the holders or
the reinsurance of the risks in some
sol veu t company, and that the unliqi
dated loss claims be paid in full. The
receiver, to the application of State
Auditor Moore, through W. W. Mors
man, attorney, replies that the auditor
is without authority to interfere and
that his attempt to have the iiquida
tion of the company proceed is an im
pertinence The case will be heard be
fore Judge Keysor on Saturday after
noon, and the victims who were
cajoled by perjured financial state
ments (as Director Stone alleges, if
his affidavit is true), into investing
their hard earned money for insur
ance in a Home company, patronizing
Nebraska institutions, will find that
Auditor Moore's demand on the offi
cars of the company to stand up for
Nebraska finds a responsive echo in
the voice of every Omaha Fire Insur
ance company policy holder.
Polarizing Photochronograph
. Pittsburg, Pa., February 18.
Among the recent inventions in the
art of photography is that of the
polarizing photochronograph made by
Prof. Albert Crehore, of Dartmouth
College, and Dr. George O. Squire,
First Lieutenant of the United States
army, now stationed -at Fortress Mon
roe.
The wonderful effect of the photo
chronograph will probably be demon
strated to the general public upon the
completion of this instrument in the
spriner. John A. lirashear, an astro
nomical manufacturer of this city, has
been given a contract for one of these
wonderful machines. It is to be set
up at Fortress Monroe, and will be
used the coming summer in testing
the velocity of the modern rifle pro
jectile, as it swiftly speeds from the
mouth of the great guns made by the
United States Ordnance Department
Mr. lirashear says it is expected that
the machine will be completed by tbe
middle of April, as the government
officials desire to have it about tho 1st
6f May.
This instrument not only measures
tbe velocity of the swiftest cannon ball
in its flight, but measures it inside or
outside of the gun and at any part of
its course desired, to a degree of oc
curacy hitherto undreamed of.

we are safe in promising an enjoyable
