LINCOLN , Dec. 14. ( Special. ) Deputy
Insurance Commissioner Bryant has ac
cepted the ruling'of the attorney general's
office and will hereafter charge Insurancn
companies desiring to do a "miscella
neous business" In Nebraska license fco
of $50. The Weaver law In ono section pro
vides that "every other company shall pa/
ft fco of $100 for depositing n copy of Itn
. .charter , " but makes no exception of mis
cellaneous companies. However , In another
ectlon the law provides that miscella
neous companies shall pay fees of $50. Dep
uty Attorney Ooneral Oldliam has written
the following opinion on the subject'
"LINCOLN , Dec. 13. Hon. Wilbur F.
Bryant , Deputy Insurance Commissioner-
Dear Sir ; In reply to your favor of iht
12th Inst. , requesting an opinion from me as
to the fees required to bo paid to the Kate
1
treasurer by the Maryland Casually com
pany of Baltimore , I would say that It la
necessary first to ascertain whether c > r not
this company , under Its charter and by
laws , would bo termed a miscellaneous com
pany , as defined by section 5 of chapter
xlvll of the laws of Nebraska o 1890.
"An examination of this section rovcals
that In the first part of the section a tire
insurance company Is defined as 'any com
pany organized to insure real or pcrjnn.il
property against damage by fire , lightning ,
Btorm or damage to property In transitcither
by land or water. Life Insurance Is defined
to mean a company that Isuties policies on
the lives of Individuals , payable after , at ,
or before tha death of the Individual , ' but
does not pay accident insurance for the
benefit of living persons injured by accident.
Accident companies are 'those companies
that Issue policies payable at the accidental
death of the Insured , or agrco to pay acci
dent benefits to living persons Injured by
accident , or ono that Issues both sucn foims
of policies , and a life and accident company
Is ono that Insures both life and accident
policies.
Accident Policies.
"You will notice that the Idea of in arpi-
dent policy as defined by this section of the
Htatuto applies strictly to accidents to In
dividuals , this is , to persons and not to
things. Then miscellaneous companies are
defined to mean 'all other companies are
and ovcry character which can bo Incorpo
rated under this act or which may bo ad
mitted from other states and countries in
compliance with this act. '
"A fair interpretation ot this act and its
attempts to define different classes of In-
Biiranco would bo that the primary defini
tion of flro Insurance companies are those
that Insure property against flre and light
ning ; of life companies , those that Insure
ngalnet death to Individuals ; and of acci
dent companies , those that Insure against
accidents or casualties to human beings ;
and miscellaneous companies would Include
nil other kinds of insurance against loss to
property rather than losses to Individuate.
"The Maryland Casualty company Is In
corporated under the laws of Maryland , as
provided by section 113 , volume 1 of the
Public General Laws of Maryland. You
will notice from an Inspection of this sec
tion of the Maryland statutes that only In
surance comoanlcs other than life are au-
.Jhodf.odjito organize under this section. You
Svlll also notice that none ot the authori
ties herein contained 'permit an Insurance
against loss by fire or against Injuries to
Individuals. Consequently I am ot the opin
ion that an Insurance company organized un
der the law Just cited and for the purposes
set forth therein Is a miscellaneous In
surance company.
Legislature's Evident Intention.
"Turning to section .37 of chapter xlvll of
the laws of Nebraska of 1899 and construing
said section so as to fairly express tbo evi
dent Intention of the legislature in Its passage -
sago , I would say that whllo the first clause
of said section provides that 'every other
state company ehall pay $100 for depositing
copy of Its charter , ' etc. , yet the section
goes on and prescribes specific fees to be
paid by the different kinds of Insurance com
panies authorized In this state. It pro
vides the fees for doing llfo and accident
business , prescribing specifically the fees
for those doing llfo business and also pro
vides that 'miscellaneous companies , shall
report all their transactions in one state
ment and pay the ono fee of $50 each year. '
In other words , it jnnkes a specific charge
for miscellaneous companies.
"Section 38 of said act provides that for
eign country companies of any kind or
character shall pay the same fees and taxes
as other state companies of like character ,
which shall bo paid at ( he tkne and In the
manner provided for In section 37 of the
same act. Thls section places foreign com
panies for purposes of taxation under the
provisions of flection 37.
"I am , therefore , of the opinion that the
Maryland Casually Is a. miscellaneous com
pany and that the proper tax on It under
WHAT
Why Is It that you are not equal to the
task Nature sets for you to do ?
Why do you find weakners stealing over
you nnd growing day by day ?
\\hy that ashy , chalky complexion ?
Why that Inability to heM your urine ?
Why those distressing pains across your
bnck ?
All these symptoms are unmistakable evi
dences of kidney trouble.
The kidneys , that make the human engine
of life move as Nature Intended , are networking
working properly and should have prompt
attention.
If you need a medicine for kidney , bladder
or uric acid trouble you can make no mistake
by using the famous new dUcovery , Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot. It gives quick relief
and cures the most distressing cases.
Hospitals use It in all kinds of cases , es
pecially severe and urgent ones. Doctors
prescribe It freely In tber | practice and In
their families and use It when they need a
kidney and bladder tonlo themselves.
Tens cf thousands of grateful patients Uavo
written to Dr. Kilmer & Co. and these letters
have boon fashioned Into a handy volume of
ready reference , which should be In every
household , This volume and a sample bottle |
of Swamp-Hoot will be mailed to any reader i
of this paper who \vll | genii name and ad
dress to Dr , Kilmer & Co , and state that hu
law this offer In The Omaha Morning Hee.
If there Is any doubt In your mind as to
your condition take from your urine on
erlelng about two ounces , place It In a glass
or bottle and let U stand twenty-four hours.
If , en examination , It la milky or cloudy , It
there U a' brick-dust settling , cr If small
particles float about In It , your kidneys are
In need of Immediate attentlou.

Deputy Commlealoner Bryant announced
that ho would bo guided In the future by
this interpretation of the law. The point
has been In dispute ever since the law went
Into effect.
.M'-morla ! Tablet for Iend Soldier * .

Pcrshlng , U. S , A. , late commandant of
cadets , the university board of legents has
approved the movement to raise funJs for
the erection of a memorial tablet In h'nor
of the students of the Institution who gave
tip their lives In the service of their country
In the Into war. A subscription will b.1
started at the university and the valoui
alumni associations will be askcl to con
tribute towards defraying the expenses ot
erecting the tablet or monument. Major
Pcrshlng accompanied his suggestion by a
subscription of $50 , which has been accepted
by tbp board of regents. The authorities of
the university arc anxious that a fund large
enough to purchase a suitable tablet will
bo raised and they have promised to asilst
the movement In every possible way.

John Whlto will bo at the head of the de
partment of chemistry. Prof. Nicholson
has served the state of Nebraska for twenty-
six years , eighteen at the university and
eight at the State Normal school.
From reports received hero today It ap
pears that the arrest In Denver last night
of Miss Frances Maule , formerly of this city ,
was simply a well-laid plan to discover how
women under arrest were treated by the
Denver police authorities. Miss Maulo Is
the daughter of Deputy Attorney Maule ot
this city , but for several months she has
been employed on "the Denver Post. The
news of her arrest caused a sensation In
Lincoln , but the subsequent reports ex
plained the affair to the satisfaction of her
friends.

"Ho selected the site for the capital ot
the republic , bo founded and gave It the
name of the federal city , but the commission
substituted tbo name of Washington as tbo
more fitting and to bo a perpetual recogni
tion of the eervlco of the commandcr-ln-
chlef of the continental army , the president
of tbo convention which framed the con
stitution , and the first president of the
republic. More than 70,000,000 people
' acknowledge allegiance to the flag which he
made triumphant. The nation Is his best
eulogist and hls < noblest monument.
"I bavo been deeply Interested and
touched by the sentiments of his contom-
'
pororlcs , uttered a hundred years ago on
the occasion of his death. Rev. Walter
King of Norwich , Conn. , In the course of an
eloquent eulogy , delivered In that city on
January G , 1SOO , said In part :
ItcenllH Kulnulen of the Time.
" 'By ono mighty effort of manly resolu
tion we wcro born anew and declared our
Independence. Now commenced the bloody
j contest for everything we held dear. The
I same Almighty being by whose guidance
wo wcro hitherto conducted beheld us with
compassion and saw what wo needed n
pilot , a leader In the perilous enterprise we
had undertaken. He called for Washington ,
already prepared , anointed him as His serv
ant with regal dignity , and put Into his
hands the control of all our defensive opera
tions , Dut here admiration suppresses ut
terance. Your own minds must fill out the
active career of the man , A description of
the warlike skill , the profound wisdom , the
prudence , tbo heroism and Integrity which
ho displayed In the character of the com-
mamler-lu-chief would suffer materially in
hands like mine. But thla I may say the
oyea of all our American Israel were placed
upon him as their Savior , under the direc
tion of heaven , and they were not disap
pointed , '
"Rev. Nathan Strong , pastor of the North
Prcebyterlau church In Hartford , spoke as
follows on December 27 , 1799 :
" < He waa aa much the angel of peace as
ot war , as much rcepected , &a deeply rever-
' cnced In the political cabinet for a luminous
j coolness of disposition , whereby party Jeal
ousy becnmo enlightened and ashamed of Itself -
self , as ho was for a coolness ot command
In the dreadful moment when empires hung
suspended on the fate of battle. Hla opin
ions becumo the opinions of the public body
and every man was pleased with himself
when he found he thought like Washington.
" 'Under the ausples of this great war
rior , who wae formed by the providence cl
God to defend his country the war was
ended and America ranked imong the
nations. He who might h.tvo been n
maiarch retired to his own Vcrnon to enjoy
the bliss of being a free , private citizen.
Thrro was a strange sight nnd gave n new
triumph to huinnn virtue a triumph that
hath never been exceeded In the history ol
the world , except It was by this second
recess , which was from the presidency ol
the United States. And on the day preced
ing , December 26 , 1799 , In the course ol '
his memorable funeral oration before both 1
house of congress , Major General Lee ,
then n representative from the state -ol
Virginia , gave utterance to the noble senti
ment ns forcpful today as In those early
years of our national history : "To the
horrid din of battle sweet peace succeeded
and our virtuous chief , mindful only of the
i commofl good , In a moment tempting per
sonal aggrandizement , hushed the dlsconton
of growing sedition , and surrendering his
power Into the hands from which he had re-
I cclvcd It , converted his sword Into a plow
I share , teaching an ndmlrlnp world that , to
bo truly great , you muat be truly good. ' "
Ore N with the Century.
"Whllo strong with his own generation , ha
Is stronger oven In the judgment of the
generations which have followed. After a
lapse of a century he Is better appreciated
moro perfectly understood , more thoroughly
venerated and loved than when ho lived. Ho
.remains an ovcr-tncre&slng Influence for
good In every part and sphere of action o
, the republic. He Is recognized as not only
| the most far-sighted statesman of his
] generation , but as having had nlmoe
' prrphctlc vision. He built , not nlotio for
his own time , but for the great future , nnd
pointed the rightful solution of many of the
i problems which were to arlso In the years
to come.
"The nation needs at this moment the
help of his wise example. In dealing will
our vast responsibilities wo turn to him
Wo Invoke the counsel of his llfo nnd
character and courage. Wo summon his
precepts that we may keep his pledges to
maintain justice and law , education and
morality and civil and religious' liberty li
every part of the country , the new as wel
as the old. "
The president was interrupted frequently
by applause and at the poncluslon of his
oration ho was cheered heartily.
The exercises at the mansion were con

the Red Men trace back their origin through

ful message to the Red Men of the world.
In conclusion he deposited within the tomb

BOS10N BANKS AVERT PANIC

S3,500OCO , by Certificates ,
TO TIDE OV.R THE GLOBE NATIONAL
of Institution In Unintln-
fnotory Condition IMvInu to fn-
prolltnhlc Investment * In Oil
nnil .Ml n In IT Securities.
BOSTON , Dee. 14. At n meeting of the
Boston Clearing House association , rep
resentatives of the national banks of tli.s
city , It was voted to raise $3,600,000 In spc-
clal clearing house certificates to enable
the Globe National bank to tldo over the
dlincultlcs In Its finances , which have ex
isted for somo. time. It is announced at
the clearing house that the bank will thereby
bo able to continue without further trouble.
The finances of the Institution have keen
In an unsatisfactory condition owing to un
profitable investments In oil and mining
securities. The trouble first came to the
surface early in November , when President
Charles Cole resigned his position. For
several weeks bis successor , II , II. Stevens ,
and his assistants have been emlcnvo.lng
to place the bank on a llrmcr basis , It waj
found , however , that a certain amount of
securities could not bo disposed of readily ,
the stocks having steadily fallen In value
the last fortnight , and the matter was laid
before the Clearing House association , wl.h
the result that assistance was voted today.
President Stevens after the meeting of
the clearing house snlll :
"Tho Glebe National bank Is ail right
and the fact that the clearing house VJs
willing to loan us $3,500,000 Is sufficiently
good proof that the bank le solvent. Wo
have resources In cash on hand , money
owed us , securities and real property suffi
cient to pay every cent we owe. "
The last report of the condition of the
Globe National bank , December 2 , shone 1
resources of $10,520,950 and liabilities. In
cluding capital stock paid In , $1,000,000 ; due
to other banks , $1,927,261 ; due to state banks
and bankers , $347,537 , and individual de
posits subject to checks , $5,478,003.
The money situation and apprehension
over the connection between several mining
men and the Globe 'National bank today
caused considerable excitement In the stock
market. Some of the copper shares formed
an object of attack and prices fell rapidly.
Tamarack and Boston & Montana wcro
sold heavily. Block after block of Montana
was thrown on the market until the price
sagged to $2.50 , a decltno of $25 a share
from the opening. Montana afterwards
rallied somewhat. Arcadian and the other
coppers suffered In a less degree. United
States Oil fell to 25. United States Mining ,
one of the ( Kobe bank stocks , fluctuated but
a few points , regaining its losses.
It is generally considered that by its action
the clearing house management averted a
panic , as the tying up of about $8,000,000
of deposits would have been a very serious
thing. By today's vote the assets of the
Glebe bank will be turned over to the clearIng -
Ing house. U Is Improbable that any losses
will be Incurred by the banks Interested in
the vote , but the method taken Insures , If
there is any such loss , It will bo subdivided
among so many that the shareof each will
be Insignificant.
