Deputy Insurance Commissioner Bryant
explains his opinion regarding the Issuance
of Insurance agents' certificates to firms ,
which Is contrary to the findings of the
state auditor , In the following statement :
Section 29 of the act known ns the Weaver
law reads as follows "It shall bo lawful for
any agent , or agents , or Individuals , to net
for any Insurance company or companies re
ferred to In this act. directly or indirectly ,
In taking risks or transacting business of
Insurance In this state , without procuring
from the Insurance commissioner a certifi
cate of authority stating that such company
has compiled with nlf the requisitions of
this net. Such certificates shall bo renewed
annually and nil shall expire April 1 after
th ? date of their Issue. "
Under this section a certificate of ru-
T thorlty may bo Issued to a firm ns well ns
to an Individual. But this department wllf
require satlnfactory proof that n partner
ship , for which a certificate Is required , la
ducb In good fnlth , nnd Is not formed for the
purpose of ovadlng.tho law. The question of
whether or not this proof Is more expensive
thn the Issuing of a certificate to each In-
dlrldual member of the P.rm Is ono for the
ppllcairt to settle for Itself.

llo Lands nnd Buildings today to award a
contract for the construction of the new
school building for the Institute for Deaf
and Dumb nt Beatrice , for which $25,000
was appropriated by the legislature. Sev
eral bids were submitted , but on account of
the uncertainty as to whether some of them
Included plumbing and other specials action
WBH postponed. Several of the bidders
specified plumbing , wbllo others simply
submitted offers for constructing the build
ing. Those who failed to state whether
'their ' bids included plumbing or not -will
bo communicated with by the board , but
no now bids will bo received. It Is esti
mated that the edhool building complete ,

without difficulty from the state peniten
tiary this morning. His disappearance was
discovered n few minutes after he had gone ,
but a thorough search of tbo prison and sur

blo prisoner ho had been given privileges
not usually accorded. This morning ho was

later ho came down and ifent Into the room
occupied by Jerry McMannman , ono of the

TEKAMAH , Neb. , Aug. B. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The northbound passenger train on
the St. Paul & Omaha road was wrecked at
this point this morning. The train was run
ning at Its usual speed when approaching
the station , when the flrcman noticed the
switch to a sidetrack on which a gravel
train was standing was open. Kvery effort
was made to stop the passenger train , but
It could not bo done before it crashed Into
the engine of the gravel train. The fireman
and engineer of the passenger , after ( loins
what tlvoy could to stop the train , Jumped
nnd escaped with a few bruises.
The fireman of the gravel train , E. C.
Olsen of Sioux City , was not so fortunate.
Ho was working around the engine and did
not see his danger until It was too late. The
force of the collision was sufficient to over
turn the engine of the gravel train nnd
Olsen was pinned under the debris. Ho was
crushed about the abdomen , hips and lower
limbs and Is In a critical condition. He was
taken to the 'Methodist ' hospital In Omaha
on the southbound train , which was delayed
two hours by the wreck.
The only other persons Injured were two
traveling men named Wheeler and Whlto-
Blile of Chicago. Their Injuries are only
slight and will not prevent them from pro
ceeding about their business.
Just who la responsible for leaving the
switch open has not been determined. Both
of the engines were pretty badly wrecked , as
were also some of the cars of the gravel
rain , but no Injury was done to the cars
of the passenger train.
Fireman Olsen died late In the nftcrnoon
as the result of his Injuries. Ho had no
chance of recovery and remained uncon
scious until death came to his relict. The
remains will be taken to Sioux City for
lurlal.
