Attempt to Get Him Oat on Hall Prove * a
I.nmpntnblo I'nllarc ,
For come time past It has been a question
whether James Harris , who turned states
evidence against Limerick , Hall , Rackwltz
and Kerns , the Wnbosh train robbers , would
be prosecuted. He has told everything about
the case while on the stand with the most
careful attention to details , and every one
li convinced that he has told not only the
truth , but the whole truth , and In so doing
has so Implicated himself that he might
reasonably e'xpect to be cent up for life.
But his fellow prisoners have been afraid
that he was going to get free as the result
of his gltlng his services to secure their
conviction. Yesterday afternoon Limerick
filed an Information charging Harris with
breaking open a Wabash freight car , and
Harris will have a hearing as soon as the
others have finished their Inning.
The prisoners caused a large-sized com
motion last evening about G o'clock when It
came time- for court to adjourn. Hack" Hz
has been put under bonds In one casi after
another until five charges of car burglary
stand against him. Yesterday afternoon he
succeeded In getting a bond In the last case ,
and It was presented for the approval of
the court , which was given. The United
States authorities had stated that he would
be prosecuted for a violation of the Internal
revenue laws as soon as the other cases
had been disposed of , and had notified the
township officials that he was to be allowed
under no circumstances to get away.
Constable Baker announced his Intention
of keeping Rackwltz In jail , whereupon Hack-
wltz's attorney , W. A. Mynster , told him
that he would undertake to rearrest his
client at his peril. Rackwltz seized a chair
and made for Baker , while the other pris
oners offered to join In the rumpus. Justice
Vlen added his muscular endeavors to the
general fray , and for a time the court room
resembled a menagerie at feeding time. With
the assistance of Officer Murphy , Baker finally
got Rackwltz bound to another prisoner and
started off with him , Mynster In the mean
while threatening all sorts of direful things
at the officer. _
Vant Sunn Sunk In Life Insurance.
"Do you have any Idea of the vast amount
of money. In cold cash , that Is constantly
being senU _ out of Council Bluffs to pay
premiums "In eaitern life companies ? " In
quired a local Investigator of a Bee reporter
yesterday. "It would be difficult to find out
the exact amount , but It must be immense.
I lime been making a few Inquiries here
and there , and I believe. If the work was
systematically prc&ecuted , It would startle
the public , and would account largely for
the scarcity of money throughout the west.
I dropped Into the office of a justice of the
peace , where half a dozen men were sitting.
discussing life Insurance. Curiosity prompted
me to ask each man how much he was
paying In premiums to eastern companies.
One man paid $80 a year , or nearly $7 a
month ; another was paying $240 a year , or
$20 a month ; another was sending away $3.1 ,
or $3 a month ; another paid annually $140 ,
or $12 a montli ; the fifth man carried no In
surance whatever , but the sixth figured up
his monthly contributions to eastern old line
companies at even $15 , making a total of $57
a month contributed by the five men. In an
attorney's office a little knot of men were
found whose joint monthly contributions ap
proximated $83. From one agricultural Im
plement house $138 was sent away each
month. In a physician's office , \\here two
medicos were talking and a minister and a
medical student were listening , $96 was the
aggregate amount sent away monthly. In a
dry goods store nearly $300 was poured Into
eastern cotfers each month. In another law
office three partners sent away annually
nearly $1,700. In every group of men , no
matter where located , my inquiries elicited
the Information that there were Individuals
who sent away from $3 to $15 each month.
Figuring upon the percentages obtained by
the few Inquiries I have made I find that
the citizens of Council Bluffs are sending
away each month In the year , and have been
for many years , amounts aggregating more
than $50,000 , or the enormous total of $600.-
000 a year. What proportion of It ever
comes back ? That's a hard one to answer ,
but only a small part of It , and much of
that Is very often reinvested lu eastern
securities.
"Suppose now that all of this money was
kept at home wouldn't there be a great Im
provement In all channels of business ? It
could not be kept out of general circulation ,
and there would not be any kind of busi
ness that would not feel Its exhilarating
effects. There Is no more need of sending
It away than there Is of making voluntary
contributions to China , for we have right
here at home two life Insurance companies
that are giving the Insured a safer and more
desirable policy In every respect than Is
given by any old line company In existence
and at one-third the cost. The United States
Masonic Benevolent association Is Issuing
Its members a flat rate policy that ranges
from $13.63 annually per $1,000 to a some
what higher figure for older ages , and the
Guaranty Fund Life Is doing the same thing
foV all outside of the Masonic fraternity.
Both of these companies have a large and
constantly growing guaranty fund that Is
an ample provision against excessive death
rates , and Us Interest Is used In paying
assessments. In the Masonic association
this Interest was sufficient to pay seven
assessments last year , and will pay still
more than that this year. The results ob
tained In the Guaranty Fund have been
fully as satisfactory to the policy holders ,
the present situation showing that every
persistent certificate holder will have a
self-paying , non-forfeltable policy In ten
jears.
"With such results as these and the man
agement of the companies right under our
own eyes , there Is no reason why tbo great
bulk of the money that has been sent away
should not be kept here to purchase better ,
cheaper and more satisfactory Insurance
from our home companies. While we are all
economizing and talking about encouraging
home Institutions. It would be well for us
all to consider this question. "

I'opullnts of that Ulstrl PWnnt to Send the
General to Congress.
ATLANTIC. la. , May 29. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) The largest and most en
thusiastic populist convention ever held In
this , the Ninth congressional , district was
In session here today1. " ) jSeyenty delegates ,
representing nine counties , were given seats.
A. M. Hutchlnson oftrbuncil Bluffs was
made chairman , J. B. La Chapelle of Glen-
wood secretary , and George B. Lang of
Woodbine recording secretary. On the first
formal ballot General James B. Wer.ver of
Des Molnes , In the Seventh congressional dis
trict , was nominated for congress. Resolu
tions were adopted endorsing the Omaha
platform and condemning Hon. A. L. Hager ,
who now represents the Ninth In congress ,
for voting against the Income tax measure
and for the demonetization of silver.
General Weaver was notified of his nomi
nation and arrived this evening from Coun
cil Bluffs. He was met at the train by a
committee of populists , headed by a brass
band , and escorted to the city park , where
he spoke to a good sized audience. This Is
the first political gun of this district and
everything points to an Increased populist
vote , drawn to a great extent from the demo
cratic party. There Is. talk of the democrats
endorsing Weaver , In an attempt to defeat
the republicans , but this report Is without
authentic foundation.
