The First National Bank
Small Amount in Old Line.
Pitiful minority of Life Insurance
at oar shops held in big companies.
Attaches of the Union Pacific are etill
perlplexed, if not annoyed, at the
strange order from E. H. Harriman
is New York calling for a statement
of the amount of old line insurance each
employe in the company carries.
Polls to satisfy the demand are still
being taken in Omaha and elsewhere
along their road. At Cheyenne it is
asserted that recently many employes
of the Union Pacific forwarded their
proxies to Thomas W. Lawson and it
is feared knowledge of this face has
reached and aroused Mr. Harriman,
who is desirons of getting at the exact
facts, so he may be gnided in a whole
sale decapiration.
The poll of the employes in the car
department ut the Union Pacific shops
tr Omaha shows a pitifnl minority of
insurance in old line companies.
The inquiry developed these facts
and figmres ; $584,000, in Ancient Or
der of United Workmen; $40,000,
Modern Woodmen of America; $30,000
Woodmen of the World ; $SO,O(0, in
MtBOtllaneons small companies, and
8 000, in old liners.
Ask d for an explanation of the in
sarance inquiry, General Manager
Mohler disclaimed any knowledge of
it, .saying it was a matter entirely
with Mr. Harriman.
The inquiry extends not only all
along the Union Pacific but Southern
Pacific, Oregon Short line and Oregon
railway and navigation company as
wall.
Liberty Belles.
The Lafayette Theater began its
season auspiciously last night with an
altogether excellent performance of
Harry B. Smith's musical comedy.
"The Liberty Belles.' The produc
tion showed a good company with
good Toioes trained in careful rehear
sal. The seenic and vocal effects were
BBueaally good.
Virginia Levick and Herbait J.
Garter were the musicasl hits of the
piece, both receiving many encores.
Miss Levlck's imitation of comic
opVra atan were especially fine, while
her rendition of her first song "Lone
some." brought down the house.
Anna Israel, one of the many Wash
ingtonian in the east, made the pink
pajama girl all she should be. Will
Conley, a local actor, also did good
work. Other young ladies of this city
on the stage last nigh't were Catherine
Hayes. May de Vere, Tessie Adele,
Ethel Ryder, Mae Merriman, May
Brannon, Edna Moran, Elsie Worth,
Olivia Culon Florence Roberts. Mabel
Wnbster, Lavinia Mason All acquit
ted themsevlevs well and were enthu
siastically received by their friends.
The hoase was crowded to the doois,
and the performance held the interest
of the audience throughout its three
acts of rollicking fun. Songs that
made decided hits were "Tammany"
and "Prettiest Maid of Borneo."
