History of the Concern "What Known or ItH Condition Vlco President Madden Talks Homo. The troubles of the Nebraska nro Insur ance company ore at an end , and from this tlmo on the receiver , W. G. Albright , will look after what remains of the company , Elcht years ago the Institution was born In Council Bluffs , where It was known as tbo Iowa and NebrasKa flro Insurance company. Two years later It came to Omaha anddroppcd the Iowa portion of ho name. The business transacted consisted In taxing risks on farm property and detached dwellings In small towns. Buslnc-is was good , losses far between nnd with 1U capital of $100,000 , the Nebraska was though to bo innklug money. Some six weeks ugo the company changed hands , a wealthy gentleman , W. G. Madden of Dos Molnes , la. , taking 301 of the 1,000 bhares of lock. In consideration of his heavy pur chase ho became the vlco president of the concern. The balance of the stock was par celled out among DCS Molnes , Council BlufTs nnd Omaha parties. Asoon ns the new officers were Installed the heads of all the members of the old office forcu wore dumped Into the basket and new men filled their places. It was then rumored that the concern was shaky at the foundation , tmt tin ) trouble was bridged ovnr until yesterday afternoon , when Mr. Madden appeared before Judge Irwln and asked for a receiver. The application was Immediately granted and W , G. Albright named for the position. Mr. Mudden was seen lost tilebt and In epcaklng of the company slid : "I consulted with the other Block-holders of tbo company , nnd decided to claco everything In the Hands of a receiver. " Upon being pressed for nis reason , ho said : "Auditor Brnton has not given us n f.ilr deal. On January 1 ho Inspected the affairs of the company and certified that it bad com plied with all the requirements of the law ; that It had Its ? ll)0.000of ) securities on deposit nnd was In good condition. Shortly after I bought Into the company ho made another Irlp to Onmhn , nnd upon his r.iturn horne we vrcro notllled that , our securities were nnt sufficient , though they had In no wise depre ciated smco January. "Wo paid but llttlo attention to this. A few days later ono of our friends informed us that Benton Intended making the company trouble. I took no slock in the report , as I saw no way by which wo could bo injured. 0 "A few days ago a mar. came from Ben- ton's office to take charge of the books nml ticcoinit.H nt ? IO per duy. I then discovered that he i.ml it In for us , and I at once madu application and had u receiver nnpoltitod. " Mr. Madden know nothing about the poli cies In force. He said : "Tim liabilities will not exceed ? S,000 , whllo the assets , including the deposits at Lincoln will fool up to 112.- 000. These assets consist of notes , nearly all of which nro duo from farmers nnd wlfl bo paid after harvest. If WH had not been forced to the wall , wo could have como out in good hapo. " Mr. Madden could not state anything as regards the policies in force. Ho had heard the report that the companv had tried to re insure with the Phonlx of Brooklyn. This bo denied. stating that there had never been any thoughts of re-Insuring. Ho also denied having had any trouolowltb the stockholders or the former officials of the company. His money ho put Into the concern , regarding It u good Investment If ho could have had u square deal. Mr. Albright , tbo receiver of the defunct company said : "I have not hnd tlmo to In- Vestlgato and consequently cannot sav any thing that will bo of Interest. I have no Idea of the amount of Insurance carried by the vi vJ company , but I shall at once go to work upon i the books and In a few days hope to get them i In shape to make a statement. "Tho company will go out of business nnd I whatever can bogotoutof the concern will bo paid over to the crcdltois. Thcro nro | lot of notes that arc due , nnd when collected I the money will bo divided. These parties who huvo insured and paid their money will have to look elsewhere for protection. "Tho prospects tor the company being put upon its reel again nro very slim , ns I now see no way by which It cuu bo accomplished. 1 shall go to work and close up tbo business just as soon as possible.

They failed to make allowance for the dry season nnd seemed to think that the beet crop should realize as much for thorn as a good corn crop would hnvo brought thorn. Th < sy thought , too , that the beets ought to hnvo been bought tops nnd all , nnd when Mr. Oxnnrd required the tops to bo cut oft and the boots to bo reasonably free from soil before being weighed the farmers felt that they were not being fairly treated ; so they organized a sort of strike agalust the beet sugar factory this spring and refused to plant beets. But the Grand Island Improvement - ment company came to the rescue and em ployed intiu to plant beets nnd contracted with others until now they have about four thousand acres planted and doing well. These who formed n sort of combination ngninst the beet sug-.ir factory were largely the German fannersbut several enterprising farmers.

During his brief term as deputy commis sioner of t'ao bureau of labor statistics Philip Andres laid out a plan of work and began a line of Investigation , but now the bureau is Hko a ship without a rudder. Clerk Harry F. Downs Is in charge of the onlco , but no has llttlo to do except to dust the furniture , answer an occasional letter and await the pleasure of the governor In the appointment of a deputy commissioner who shall lay down n line o'f action. At tbo last national convention of labor commissioners It was recommended that all the states this year begin an mvosti- catlon of child labor. Mr. Andres actca on that suggestion and visited Omaha , West Lincoln , Fremont and Nebraska City to lay the foundation for making n study of the number and conditions o'f the children under sixteen who are employed in factories and mercan tile institutions. The Nebraska bureau began u similar Investigation two years ago- but it was incidental to more Important work , but was abandoned bvcauso of dlfllcul- tiei encountered. The employers of children are very reluctant to glvo the desired infer mation. The law authorizes tbo bureau to compel testimony , but there is no fund for the expenses of such a proceeding. U is be lieved , however , that persistent quizzing and personal investigation will bring the desired information anc this matter of child labor will probably bo the special work of the bu reau this term. TWO MH.UOK nsii TO oivn AWAT. Fish Commissioner Low May of Fremont was at the state house this morning to get his bearings on the appropriation of the lute leg islature. Ho deplored tbo reduction which cut it M.OOO or fl.OOO to 112,400 , because it will compel the abandonment of contemplated Improvements at the state hatchery nt South Bend. Speaking of the work of the coinmis slon , Mr. May said : 'Wo are uovv ready to distribute 2,000.000 wall-eyod plko froy. Do wo rount themf Well , yes , In a way. We weigh an ounce of tbo eggs and then count them. It is then an easy matter to ap- proxlmata the whole number of oggi , and some times wo measure a small quantity una cot nt the number In that way. If anybody disputes our figures wo will glvo him permis sion to count the flsh. These plko eggs came from Lnko Huron. In tbo snring , when the females are ripe , wo nmko an arrangement with the ttshernieu ou the lakes to atrip the fish of their eggs. Very often they are glad to bavo us do It , as It Is really u help to them In preparing their catch for market , so that our supply doesn't cost us verv much. Wo then fertilize the eggs With the milt of the male ijlko and put them in Jars to bo hatched. Tbo fry. nro shipped in cans. These plko are about tbo only llsh wo will have for distribution until next fall , when wo will have a supply of bass , carp and natlvo stocK.
