Indemnity bonds to cover work done
in Nebraska by a corporation under
taking compliance with Nebraska laws
and written by a licensed insurance
company must be written by a resi
dent agent. This ruling is made by
Attorney General Thompson in an
opinion delivered to State Auditor
Barton. »herein the facts of the spe
cial case in point are set forth.
It is probable that a referee to take
testimony in the ouster suit begun
a ~ainst Chief of Police Donahue of
the Omaha police force will not be
appointed until after September 20,
when the first session of supreme
court will be held. The court will not
meet in vacation to appoint the ref
eree unless there is a pressing de
n-.ani for this to be done. A major
ity of the court is now in Lincoln
, but the attorney general has made
no move indicating a wish for extra
ordinary action. The court is holding
up as many things as possible until
the regular opening of court, in order
, that all seven members may be pres
ent. This will save the majority from
res.j«oa#ihiuty ior the entire court.

Thinks H;s Change of Name a Bore—
Beats the Raven's Flight of Yore
—Guoth the Ladies. “Never
More:"
New Tork.—With due respect to
the memory of Edgar Allan Poe. the
parrot L-enore. owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Charles McDermott of 11“ West One
Hundred and Thirty-second street, par
ticipated in more weird and woozy ad
ventures during the torrid hours of
the other afternoon and the almost as
torrid hours of the night than were
ever indulged in by any squadron of
ravens in or out of a Poe fantasy.
Lenore's name used to be Pa:, but J
as Charles McDermott is fond of Poe
and loves the name Lenore on his
tongue, be rechristened the parrot for
the sake of euphony. Parrot fanciers
declare that gentle man parrots become
attached to their names and bitterly
resent a change. Pa: Lenore ran trite j
to form, and after exhausting an elab- i
orate vocabulary of epithet against
his new feminine "moniker." bristled
his feathers the other day at precise
ly 2 p n. and departed from the Mc
Dermott flat.
At One Hundred and Thirty-second
street and Lenox avenue Lenore
alighted at an open bathroom window
Water was cascading into the tub. and
as the parrot listened he heard foot
steps. A tall, slim maiden lady was
slipping into the bathroom. She was
very warm, so she lost no time In
submerging herself She had lust be
gun to splash blithely in the tub when
it occurred to the emerald plumed
bird to again resent his rechristen’, ng
So. sticking his head inside the win
dow. he declared savagely:
"Me name is Pat!"
Imagine the horror of a tall, sttm
maiden lady In superlative undress at
a masculine voice ejaculating a mascu
line name in her very ear. Miss—rbut
at her modest request her identity will
remain secret i thinks that she
swooned and might have drowned had
the water been deep enough.
She is positive that she blushed
from her toes right up to her curl pa
pers. and the moment she had recov
ered sufficient strength to raise her
hands she covered her face, rose
from the tub and fled shrieking from
the bathroom.
Pa: Lenore entered and sampled the
bottles of the medicine chest, with the
result that he departed in high good

sound of running water again attract

stematioo to the heart cf a stout
Irish lady by perching on the window
sil! of the bathroom and declaring bis
sex while milady reveled tn her bath.
She summoned her husband to shoot
the intruder, but Pat l.enore discreetly
disappeared
Pat Ignore disturbed two other
women at their baths before he blun

Kaiser at Thirty-second street and
went to sleep on top of the piano.

Ban on Telephone Spooning.
Pittsburg. Pa.—“Fire any employee
caught spooning over the telephone
Fire any one who can he proved to
have spooned in the past over the
telephone and charged the tolls to the
city." This is the gist of an order
issued to department heads by Mgvor
W_ A. Magee
It cost the city of Pittsburg about
112.00® in toils for her city employees,
male and female, to spoon over the
telephone wires last year. Hence the
order. Young husbands trust rot even
call up their wires, either in working
hours or at lunch, over the city tele
phones. Under no condition are the
telephones to be used by any em- '
pioyee save on business for the city.

PEACE IS TIE AIM
THIS !S THE TENOR OF THE
SPEECH OF ROOSEVELT.
A STRENUOUS OAY IN OMAHA
G”eat Crowds Greet the Ex-President
and Attentively Listen to
His Words.
Omaha—‘‘The American fleet was
not sent around the world as a threat
to any nation, but ,as the strongest
kind of a provocative to friendliness.
“■We wanted it understood on the
Atlantic and on the Pacific coasts
alike, and by the world, that our fleet
could go anywhere, and would go any
where when necessary.
“At one time it was announced by
some good people on the Atlantic
coast the fleet should not sail; but it
did sail. I had money to send ships
to the Pacific, and if the money was
not appropriated to bring them back
well, that was their affair
“The next job ahead of us is to
fortify the canal. We must show that
we are big enough to do the job right.
W e built that canal ourselves, and we
don't have to ask anybody else to
! come in and say how it shall be used.
“Nothing can serve to keep us in a
state of profound peace more than the
knowledge that our men can shoot
straight, and will do so if necessary ”
With terse, sharply uttered sentenc

: retary of the navy and former presi
dent of the Vnited States brought
ringing indorsement from what was
undoubtedly the greatest audience
ever covered by the roof of the Oma

held in the speaker's hand; and char
acteristic gestures with npraised arms
and clenched fists, sent them home to
the hearts and understanding of his
auditors.
White in some sense the war ting©
was on the talk, yet underlying every
paragraph was the earnest thought
that only by strenuous preparation

world be held to a steadfast obliga

work out its ultimate destiny without
the possibility of outside interference
