bed of its contents. The burglars
drilled a hole in the top of the s-afe ,
put in a charge of dynamite and blew
the door of the safe off. The tools
were stolen from M. Morgensen'a

him , telling him to throw up his
hands. He made some joking answer

die.
Mrs. F. C. Colar of Cedar Rapids is
suffering the most intense pain , while
her face is so badly swollen that she
can scarcely see from either eye , the
right one being closed entirely. It is
supposed to have been caused by the
sting of a kissing bug. While milking
her cow she was stung under the right
eye. Her face began swelling rapidly ,
and by 10 o'clock the right eye was
closed. Home remedies did no good
and she consulted a physician , who
was completely puzzled.
A communication was received by
Deputy Commissioner Bryant protest
ing against the Tontine Savings asso
ciation of Lincoln , which it is claimed
is doing business illegally. As the
protest was not drawn up in a formal
manner Mr. Bryant replied stating

certain charges were preferred. This
company sells a contract for $5 , the
conditions being that there shall be
sixty subsequent weekly payments of
$1.25 each , making a total of $80.

POLICYHOLDER PAYS THE TAX
Measure Causing the People to Thlnl
Quite a Little About Taxation tvlm
the Iaw 1'rovldes Legislation It
Which There Is Said to lie u Goo <
Deal of Injustice.
The Weaver Insurance Law.
The Weaver insurance law , says i
Lincoln correspondent , which wenl
into effect July 1 , is causing people tc
think quite a little about the taxatior
of the premiums or gross receipts ol
old line insurance companies. This
law provides for a tax of 2 per cent or
the gross premiums paid to this class
of insurance companies in Nebraska
Some policy holders are Inclined tc
think that it is a system of double
taxation. Nearly all of the old line
companies , it is asserted , are on a
mutual basis and return to the policy
holders every cent above the actual
expenses of management and the pay
ment of mortality losses. These sav
ings in expense are called profits oi
dividends.
"A policy holder in a mutual old
line Insurance company is at the same
time a stockholder or a member of the
company and receives each year or at
the end of a period of years his share
of the profits , thereby reducing the
net amount he pays the company to
the acutal cost of carrying insurance , "
said a policy holder in one of the old
line companies who has made a study
of insurance. . "Hence legislation that
increases the expense of a company
merely lessens the amount of a pre
mium to be returned to the insured ,
thereby increasing the cost of insur
ance. Suppose all the states should
exact a charge of 2 per cent , it would
mean that the cost of insurance would
be increased by 2 per cent of the total
premiums. The annual premium on a
twenty-payment life policy for $10,000
is $360. A tax of 2 per cent would be
$7.20 , which represents the additional
cost to the policy holder , as this
amount would be returned to him as
an unused portion of the premium.
"To show the injustice of this kind
of legislation , suppose in the case of
two men of equal income one should
make no provision tor his family and
leave them to be dependent upon the
community ; this man escapes the tax
and his provident neighbor , whose in
come is no larger , but who , feeling the
responsibility to his family and soci-
ty , appropriates each year a portion
of his income in providing for their
future in case they should be deprived
of his earning capacity , would be pun
ished for so ding and his punishment
would be graded according to the de
gree of his philanthropy.
"Many policy holders are beginning
to inquire if this sort of taxation is
fair and equitable. They are coming
to the conclusion that the taxing of
premiums does affect the management
expense of an insurance company and
merely makes an additional burden
Cor the policy holders to carry. It
seems to me that the policy holders
aught to protest against a system of
taxation which discriminates against
the industrious and provident citizen
In favor of the spendthrift and com
pels the former not only to pay for the
privilege of being honest to his family ,
but in addition to pay his share to
maintain an institution for keeping in
later years the family of his irre
sponsible neighbor. "
Ex-Senator Allen Stakes Denial.
Lincoln dispatch : Judge Allen , who
's ' temporarily in the city , was asked
3y a Bee reporter concerning the re
port printed in the New York Tribune
; hat he had entered government land
inder the reservoir act.
Judge Allen emphatically denied the
: harges made by the Tribune and the
: ommissioner of the general land of-
ice. He said that he never entered a
loot of government land in his life ,
rhat what land he did own , and that
vas very little , had been purchased ,
lot entered. The judge said that a
nan named William F. Allen , a citizen
) f Omaha , it is alleged , entered land
n the O'Neill land district under the
eservoir act , which was probably the
oundation for the story connecting his
lame with the deal.
Judge Allen showed the reporter
; wo dispatches which he had just
vritten for transmission from Madi-
on , his home. The dispatches are as
ollows :
MADISON , Neb. Hon. Binger Her-
nan , Commissioner General Land Of-
ice , Washington , D. C. : Your state-
nent that I have entered government
and under the reservoir or any other
ict is a falsehood and I demand that
rou retract it. I never entered a foot
if government land in my life.
WILLIAM V. ALLEN.
MADISON , Neb. The New York
Tribune , New York : Your statement
hat I have entered public lands under
he reservoir act is a flat falsehood.
never entered a foot of government
and in my life. I ask you to retract

Fatal Mistake in Bottles.
By mistaking a bottle containing
arbolic acid for a bottle of pepper-
Hint , John E. Prendergast , of Omaha ,
ged " 22 years , drank a poisonous po-
ion which resulted in almost immed-
ate deatn last evenfug.
The young man left his home in the
vening and remained out all night ,
eturning shortly after 6 o'clock next
vening. He had been imbibing some
what freely during his absence , and
.is first thought , doubtless , upon
caching his home was to allay the
ffects of the dissipation. He went di-
ectly to the pantry and there grasped
he bottle which he supposed con-
lined the peppermint. He had made
mistake , however , and drank half
lie contents of an ounce bottle con-
lining carbolic acid. He was thrown
ito convulsions immediately and did
ot regain consciousness. Death came
s a relief within an hour.
Fine Crop Prospect * ) .
A Beatrice correspondent' tin
Lincoln Journal writes : Farmers ari
busy harvesting their oats , 'a croj
which this year will be the larges
ever raised in the county. The acre
age is unusually large and the yieh
will be enormous , thousands of acre !
producing an average of fifty to slxt :
bushels per acre. At this time of thi
year interest centers in the corn crop
which never gave better promise thai
at present. The winter wheat croj
proving a failure a great deal of whea
land was plowed up and put in corn
so that the acreage in corn in this
county will reach nearly if not quite
250 acres. To say that it looks mag
nificent is no exaggeration. The mos
of the corn is in tassel and a grea
deal of it is beginning to shoot th <
ears out. The stand is unusually per
feet and a bumper crop is almost a ;
good as assured. At present there an
scarcely any fat cattle in the county
but several herds of fine heifers anc
stock cattle were seen. As a rule th <
farms passed were not only in a liigt
state of cultivation , but were kepi
neat and clean.
One farm , that of Harvey Mason
which was passed , was a model , 'me
large lawn about the house and barn
was mowed close and in comparison
with many yards to be seen in town ,
would put the owners of the latter tc
shame. The writer has made an esti
mate based partly on reports of as
sessors of the crop in acres , and finds
that there will be approximately 250-
000 acres of corn , 10,000 acres of
wheat and 50,000 acres of oats. Pota
toes have this year also done excep
tionally well and there is a large acre
age. Gage county is now smilling hei
sweetest thanks to dame nature.
Condition of the Crop ? .
The past week has been cool , with
showers in nearly all parts of the
state. The average daily temperature
deficiency was about 1 degree. The
maximum temperatures the first days
of the week slightly exceeded 90 de
grees , but the last part of the week
were about or below 85 degrees.
The rainfall has been above normal
in most counties touching the Platte
river and. with a few exceptions , be
low normal in other counties. The
heaviest rainfalls occurred in Gosper ,
Buffalo and Platte counties , where be
tween two and two and one-half inches
fell.
fell.The
The past week has been another ex
cellent growing week. In most parts
of the state it has been a good week
for harvesting. Most of the rye and
winter wheat in central and southern
counties has been cut. Threshing has
commenced in southern counties. A
few yields of winter wheat are report
ed , but they vary from five to thirty
bushels per acre. The oat harvest has
commenced in the central and is nearIng -
Ing completion in the southern coun
ties.

Corn has continued to grow rapidly
in all parts of the state. Tassels be
gin to show in most fields in the cen
tral counties , and the silk is appear
ing and ears are forming in southern
Bounties.

New Use for Nebraska Soil.
Chadron dispatch : A new and in-
.eresting discovery has been made for
; he use of Nebraska dirt. A woman in
: his county , has discovered a method
tor rectifying Indian maize or corn
jil , making it a valuable Substitute for
jlive oil.
It is not generally known that under
: he new milling process the kernel
s degermed before manufacture into
lour or other food products. This
ittle germ containing the life prop-
irties of the corn kernel also contains
i rancid oil that taints and gives an
mwholesome flavor to corn food pro-
lucts when not removed. The crude
) il is thus thrown onto the corn mill-
; rs in large quantities , and until this
liscovery they have had no method
or successfully treating , hence it was
alueless because of its rancid nature.
Mrs. Emma C. Sickles , now attend-
ng the Domestic Science Laboratory
n Washington City , discovered the
vay to treat it with the soil off her
arm in this county. After several
oonths' time she applied for a patent ,
vhich was granted a few days ago ,
ince which she has closed contracts
dth several eastern corn milling con-
erns for the use of the soil in carets
ots , to be used in the treatment of
he crude oil. The patentee says the
ill can be used quite as successfully
n the beet sugar and other food pro-
.ucts. She will be here in a few days
o personally oversee the shipping of
he oil. Hers is the only method dis-
overed in America for treatment of
orn oil , and all former corn oils used
n American tables were rectified in
Lustria. She has found that no other
iart of America furnishes soil that
all successfully treat the oil.
Regents in Session.
The board of regents were in ses-
ion for two days and the resigna-
ion of Chancellor MacLean was ac-
eptcd and a committee appointed to
30k after employing his successor ,
'his committee consists of Regents
Veston , Gould , Kenower and Rawlins.
L member of the committee said that
o special man was being considered
y the committee and he knew of none
rho had been mentioned. The board
Iso accepted the resignation of Prof ,
.nsley , who intends to engage in the
ractice of law in Illinois. The re-
ents had their time occupied with the
isk of selecting an acting chancellor
) fill the place until the successor of
> r. MacLean is named. The board
amed Dean Charles F. Bessey as act-
ig chancellor.
