A largo portion of the population of West Broadway in the vicinity of Eighth street was aroused and sent Hying to its front doors about 9 o'clock last evening by a scries of feminine shrieks thnt tore great holes in the still evening atmosphere. A young lady who is attending the teachers' institute and stopping with friends nt the corner of Avenue H and Eighth street was walking out , with n friend a short time before. As they passed the corner of Bryant street and Broadway they were met by a man who made an insulting remark to them. They hurried nwny as fast us their feet would carry them , and when they reached the opera house drug store decided to stop and ask that a police ofllccr bo sent to accompany them homo. Onleer Claar was Instructed to see that they got homo safely. As ho was following them down street no met Deputy Marshal Anderson and Olllccr Murphy , and decided to turn his lair charges over to them. After ho had told them what was wanted Weit and Anderson followed the young ladies - down tno street , overtaking them a short distance from the comer of Eighth street Weir asked them If they were the ladles who wanted a policeman's scrvlceu , and us ho did so , pulled hack his coat to exhibit hi star. But unfortunately IIP had a largo gun in his inside coat pocket , und it so caught the eyes of the young ladies that they die not sco tl.o star at nil. They at once made up their minds thai Weir was the man whom they had met bacV nt Bryant street , and making up their mind that they were going to be shot full of hole immediately for notifying the police tho.i sut up n howl that would have awakened nr Egyptian mummy , had there been any re siding on Lower Broadway. They rushet ' back to where Claar was standing line Claar , who Is a bachelor and rather incllnci to bo modest , suddenly found two youiif ladles stopping around on his coat collar ii the vain endeavor to got out of reach o th'oir supposed would-ho assassin. One of them nt last fell into a dead fnin in the ofllcer's arms , nnd the services of physician had to bo culled in to bring her ti consciousness. They were about as near tin condition of total paralysis us country schoo teachers often got , and one of them was sail nt n late hour last night to bo very near th verge of nervous prostration. They wer taken to their stopping place on Nortl Eighth street. Owing to the sensitlvenes of the young ladles about having any nowe paper notoriety , their names are withheli from the public. opted , At n meeting of the board of directors o the Council Bluffs Young Men's Chrlstlu association , held Tuesday evening , a con mlttco was appointed to draft resolution 'a concerning the death of the former genera secretary.

The newspaper discussions of the bonding companies that liavo sprung up recently .have ntlrncted A great deal of interest. "It bus been the means of Hooding us with Inquiries , " Bald Secretary Allen of the Perpetual Maturity Bonding company of Council Bluffs , the second company that was organized in tlila country , mid the ono that gives what certainly appears to bo gilt-edged credentials. "It has sot people to investigating , mul that is Just exactly what wo want them to do. If there Is nn Intelligent man who is honest , and who will honestly compare our plan with thosn of nay of the building and loan inul life Insurance companies and cuii como to the conclusion that wo are offering to do anything more than they offer their members , , then wo will admit their claim. But this hue and cry is neither honest nor disinterested. It springs from from the strongest motlvu of self interest. It is more than that ; it Is an attempt ut self preservation. These big companies that have hundreds of millions of surplus and nro taking millions every year from the west that Is never returned ; that pay millions annually in salaries and pensions , realize that their sure danger of decadence lies in the growth of popular mutual enterprises , managed at not a thousandeth part of the expense and that confer equal boncilts upon members. It Is perhaps well that this agitation has arisen , for tlicro was a danger that irre sponsible men would go into the business of organizing bond companies. It will only iiiiiito legitimate enterprises the stronger. "You relor to the wrecking of the Iron Hall , emi of the oldest and strongest endow ment orders , and I am glad you do. Its affairs have been in court and before the people for more than a year , and every turn of tno investigation has shown that the wrecking of that institution was ono of the giant crimes of the day , a crime com mitted not against it alooo , but against all mutual organizations in the interest of their big and little enemies. It promised to give , after seven years , $1,000 upon $2.50 assessments , aggregating less than S300. This company made good every promise for over twelve years , paid every matured policy and when it was wrecked had a surplus on I'and of over $1,700,000 , while nearly a million more had been paid on unmaturcd certificates in the way of sick benefits. "Thoughtlessness Is the parent of many evils , ono of the most pernicious of which is the common practice of condemning every thing with which wo "are not familiar , or the principle of which. ' wo do not compre hend. It has become common practice to ocery In unqualillcd terms every new project which holds out an inducement to investors that promises even moderate . advance upon established so-called 'legal' rates of interest. The injustice of such practice can not bo too strongly denounced in the light of existing facts. Surely what has been accomplished for hundreds of years in ono line of application cnn reason ably bo conceded ns possible in another when ono 'and the same princi ple underlie both. The life insurance sys tem is universally coticedcd to be unques tionably sound in principle and safe in prac tice , but yet the investment results daily accomplished undcrf , that system exceed these .of any other enterprise on cartli. It will no doubt bo.a g.reat surprise to many ' ' person's to'lcarn thaf'trs1 an investment the life Insurance system''returns an average prollt upon outlay. to every deceased policy holder of more than MO per cent. The prolit derived In individual cqgfj.ranges from ono and one-half to ( inoro .than illty times the money expended , according to the tlmo the policy has run To Illustrate : If $20 bo paid as annual premium upon f 1,000 insurance and the -/olicy matures the first year , llfty times $20 are received in return , a net prolit of SOSO. From 1887 to 1891'tho Now Yorlc Life paid as death losses to claimants $10,310,000 and received from .ho matured policies only $ fl,427i'J2 ! , giving the policy holder more than i for $1 received. The Mutual Hcservo of Now York , from 1831 to 18UO inclusive , paid ? 'Jy0,771 ' ; ! to claimants , and received from the same policy holders only ? G57.-477 , giving the policy holders more than ? M for every dollar they received. Prom thirty-six recent weekly statements issued by the Mutual Life of Now York , the company reports ? G,07U,100 paid for claims , upon which tno insured paid * 2.240,8M. The company therefore paid back nearly ) for every $1 received. "The question. 'How can they do it ? ' Is i never thought of now , as applied to any of ) our companies today. The"living fact pro- senta itself on every hand. They do it , and in addition increase their reserve fund by millions of dollars every year. But how do they do lit Answer : From current pay ments , interest on reserves and forfeited premiums. Not half the policies Issued are carried to maturity. Forfeited premiums go I in the largest measure to make the prolit returns of those whoso policies mature uy death or otherwise. "Now , about lapses. The Insurance Year Book , certainly good authority , giving this statistics from 18UG to 18U3 , including all the companies doing business In Now York ! Pennsylvania and Massachusetts , shows that the very lowest per cout of total lapses for any year In that period was 14 foi ] 6G7 , and C4 per cent for 1884 while the average total for the whole period was 43.8.1 per cent , all meaning u total loss by forfeiture of premiums. The older and stronger a company Is the mon : reasonable It is to look for tno greatest per slstunco on the part of Its members , hcnci thu smallest lapse rate.

IN FAVOR OFLOCAl OiTION ) _ [ coxmunn PKOM FIIIST PAOB. I talnlng the present law In these portions of the state , etc. " Over this proposition a three-hours' debate wan indulged In. Antl- prohibition counties at Ilrst wcro willing to accept the amendment , but afterwards ral lied against It In nn almost solid phalanx. They wuro reinforced by such prohibition ists as Senator Meuk and Colonel M. L.1 Temple. The prohibition counties carried ttio vote against the ( amendment. The scones during this debate cannot bo described - scribed , For minutes at a lime the conven tion was n mass of uproar and overythlnc seemed plunged In chaos. A sense of fair ness was predominant , however , nnd every side was given a chance tn speak , The vote , when announced , stood WK ) for amr-mlnicnt and OKI against it. The chair declared it de feated , The platform was then adopted us follows : Text nt thu rlnttorill. The following is the platform adopted after thrco hours debate : The rouubllcnns of Iowa , In state conven tion , declare : That the government Is , of , for and by the people , and thnt the object of all governments should bo to maintain and promote the liberty - erty , safety , happiness and wulfaio of ull Hut peoplo. That in going Into another non- oral election It calls public attention tn the fnct , asa test of the great political pantos , that the campaign claims of ( lie democratic party In thu election of 1HU2 liavo proven ( also and the. claims imulo by thu republicans were proved trtio. Not 1111 allegation made by thudcinocriitlc parly as to the JIcKlnlcy law or reciprocity lias heen substantiated , but In the withholding of the pen sions of union soldiers ; In busi ness paralysis ! In mills and manufactures closed : In suspended hanks ; In bankrupted llrms : m the distress of farmers ; In thu grow ing multitude of trumps ; In railing wages of thousands ot working people , discharged from employment ; lit the monetary strliigerey : In tliu pruvnlllng hard times und public dlslruss , are the fnlllllmont nf what republicans pro- dlctud , with historic warrant as to the known capacity of the democratic party to tllstruss and disastrously all'eet the American people , as the results of successful democratic party. That the establishment ut the policy of ru- clnrocal trade , especially botuecn the Unltod States nnd the other countries of Iho now world , was a distinctive and bem-fieleiit meas ure of republican statesmanship , promising great good to this nation , and uo regret and deplore thnt It has hud tn pass from the bril liant and ivsolute statesmanship of James ( I. lllulnu Into tliu unfriendly bauds of fulllu inuKwumim and hostile democrats , That when President Cleveland said In his recent niessago lo congress that ouruufor- tunatn llminelal plight with the ovll comll.- tlons depleted tire principally chargenblo to congressional legislation touching thu pur chase and colnngo of silver by Iho general gov ernment , ho omitted thu nil-Rest producing cause. This Is ono ot thu Blnlster ulTocts of the democratic attempt to overthrow protection and protective tariff as embodied in tlmt wise-iiieasuru known as the McKinley law and , soclosu Ainurlcan inanufactorles and overwhelm the Industries that glvo prolltahlo employment to American capital and Ameri can labor. Sumo Suggestions on Finance. Tlmt for the relief of the people to got sta bility to business and security to debtors and creditors alike , the law should provldu that payment nf debt shall bu the return of nn equivalent In purchasing power , estimated by land , runt. Interest and WHROS of labor , so that the creditor shall ro- celvonoless and the debtor , mortgagee , or others shall have to pay no moru than the pur chasing iiovrcr that passed tram the creditor to debtor when thu debt was contracted. That It Is of prlmu importance to all American people - plo that sound currency shall bn maintained , of uniform purchasing power. That wo are In favor of maintaining both gold and silver as unlimited legal tender for payment of debt , and In doing this congress shall provide that very doddar , whether gold , silver or paper , shall bo kept of equal value. That wo tire opposed to state bank money or any re-establlslnncnt of that system of local shfiiplasler and wild cut cur rency which proved so disastrous In" the past , That , one of the great ends for which the re publican uafty exists has boon and Is to main tain the freedom , dignity and welfaio of labor , those who toll. That wu rejoice in high wages that have boon paid American working people under republican policies and wo dcpn ro as ono of thu Ilrst and Inuvl'tuhlo results of the democratic party's success and Us ability to establish HH policies that It has already led to a largo reduction of wages paid to Ainurlcan labor. That It is of highest importance to working people that tholr wages shall bo paid to thotn lu money of full value and high purchasing power , so that they shall bo able to supply themselves In every market with the necessities and comforts of life. Wo denounce cheap and de preciated money of low purchasing power as an especial hardship upon the ooor und till who receive wages. ICncoinlum for Harrison. . The administration of Itonjaman Harrison , In its safe and broad statesmanship , main taining prosperity and good government at homo and peace with honor abroad , with liurlty and honesty In every department , so that no stain marred the Integrity of national , character and conduct , deserves the ap proval of tliu American people und makes a nohlo chapter In the his tory of republican administration from r Abraham Lincoln to Benjamin Harrison , , wlilch preserved the life ot the republic ami guvo It freedom , unity , peace , prosperity and greatness. It Is our belief that the assaults made on the system of pensions by this ad ministration , because In a few cases pensions tire alleged to have been fraudulently ob tained , Is n pretext to attack and destroy thu whole system , and l.s a menace to thu honor of our bravo and deserving national defenders. About Prohibition. ir That prohibition Is no test of republicanism , The general assembly bus given lo the Matu n prohibitory law UN strong as any that has ever been enacted by any country , l.ikoany other criminal statute , Its rutuntlon , modlll- ! cation or repeal must bo determined by the general assembly , elected by and In sympathy with the people , and to them Is relegated thu subject , to tnliosnch action us they may deem just und best In thu matter ; maintaining thu present law us to the o portions of the state wheru It In now , or can he inadu elllclont , and to glvu to ot her.localities such inulliods of con- Irollng and logiilatlng thu liquor tralllc as will bust servo thu cause of temperance nml morality , Thu convention adjourned until 0 o'clock , The excitement in hotel lobbies aftoi adjournment was Intense , but the t-onvon lion , after one hour's rest , was in a good , mood tonight , and proceeded with ballot ing for lieutenant governor ns if nothing extraordinary had happened , though , as a matter of fact , the republican policy on pro hibitlon has bcon reversed , Other Noiuliiatlnnr.

A marked Instanceof this ten- | dcncy is found In the Dos Molnos dispatch in Sunday's lints , wherein it was stated Mint the "Herryhlll faction" was downed In our county convention , giving the vote by which the convention decided that the delegates to the state convention should bochosou by wards Instead of by supervisor ' districts' . Thodlsttiteh failed to state that In the subsequent election sixteen out of the eighteen delegates chosen were precisely the persons who would have been elected had the other liioilo ot choosing then prevailed.
