doing business in Nebraska, but admit
tbat William B Trice. his insurance clerk,
lias issued an order to that erect. For
Kime montir pant there has been a row
on between tbe Insurance department of tbe
two state and there now appears to be a
Tory decided disagreement between tbe
officers of the Nebraska department When
acted concerning his attitude toward tbe
Illinois companies Auditor Cornell replied
that tinder the reciprocal provision of tbe
itate insurance act be could, and possible
-would, exclude all companies from tbat
i tate from entering the Nebraska field, but
added tbat br bad not yet found it neces
sary to take i.ucb a step. Insurance Clerk
Prloe, however, averts tbat ruch an order
was l3Ud and as proof exhibit a copy
of tbe letter which was sent to all Illlnrlt
companies represented in Nebraska. Tbe
letters were mailed on June Sfl and are
.lgned by the auditor and insurance dep
uty. The trouble between the two departments
originated in the refusal of Commissioner
Van Cleve of Illinois to admit Nebrarkn
fraternal ordere.. The objections offered
were of a technical nature. The matter
tiii appealed to Auditor Cornell, who as
swts tbat fraternal orders in other west
era states have had the name trouble with
the Illinois commissioner. No explanation
Is offered for Auditor Cornell's denial of
the authorship of the following letter
which bears his nljnature:
Auditor of Public Accounts, Insurance
Department, June 30. Gentlemen: This is
to notify you that you -will not be permitted
to transart busincB in this state for tbe

the reciprocal features of our law and for
the reason that your Ptate department abso
lutely refuses to permit Nebraska fraternu.1
orranlzatlons to transact tiUFlntss in Illi
nois. I am sorrr that Mr Van Cleve has
forced this department to take so radical
a sttnd in the matter Please govern your
self accordingly This will not prevent you.

Tbe Commercial club directors have taken
up tbe matter of vacating certain streets in
the northern part of the city for the Union
Pacific Railroad company and will try to
bring about an agreement between tbe rail
road peopje and the city. An ordinance pro
viding lor the vacating of the stub ends of
C. D. E, G and H streets and also a portion
of Itallroad avenue is now m the hands of
the judiciary committee of the council. It
is possible that the judiciary committee
may make a report on this ordinance Mon
day night.
Several attempts have been made by the
officers of the club to brlig about a confer
ence between the Union Pacific ofbclals and
a committee of the club, but all communica
tions sent by the club to President Burt
have ao far been ignored. It is the desire
of tbe club to have r.allroad avenue paved
from Wyman street to tbe county line and
tbe only way this can be done will be to
make a trade with tbe railroad company.
With this idea In view a committee com
posed of Freltag. Walters, Hastings, Brewer
and Wells was appointed to draft resolu
tions bearing on this subject and present
the same to the city council Monday night.
It appears to be tbe sense of tbe directors
that the streets in question shall not be
closed and turned over to tbe Union Pa
cific unless the railroad company agrees to
pave Railroad avenue..
In connection with the suggestion made
some time ago that tbe city acquire Syndi
cate park, the matter was taken up by the
directors of the club and approved. A com
mittee of three, composed of Slabaugh.
O'Nell und Kopeltz. was named by President
Flynn to Investigate. In case the park
can be secured an effort will be made to
establish a boulevard, commencing at Twenty-third
and Boulevard streets In Omaha
and extending through tbe park to Thir
teenth street The park can. it is under
stood, be purchased for 125.090, and while It
will be necessary to vote bonds for this
purpose It is thought that there will be no
dlfbculty about currying the proposition If
It is placed before the people.
Letters have been sent to tbe Fostoffice
department by Secretary Watklus urging
the appointment of three additional mail
carriers, as requested by Postmaster Etter
borne time ao. Twd Inspectors for tbe
department have Investigated the needs of
the scrvlre here and while it is not known
what their reports were, it is inferred that
the increase in help asked for was recom
mended. With three more carriers Captain
Etter says that be can extend the free de
livery system to all portions of the city and
give better service in tbe business und res
idence districts.
Clclit Hoin for Pontofflre Clerka.
Postmaster Etter wns advised yesterday
that the Postofhce department Is figuring
on placing tbr clerks In this office on tbe
same baals as tbe carriers In regard to tbe
hours of duty Carriers work only eight
hours a day and the intention is to work tbe
t-Terks the same number of hours if satisfac
tory arrangements can be made.
At the present time eight clerks are cm
ployed in the postofOre here and tbe out
mailing clerks work on an average sixteen
hours a day The amount of mall to be
handled by three clerks in this department
ts so large that long hours arc a necessity.
It Is asserted that by the appointment of
two or three more clerks tbe eight-hour
system can be placed In operation here.
This plan, It is understood", is heartily
favored by Postmaslcr Etter.

An increase tn the fire department means
a reduction of insurance rates all over the
' city and tbt people arc naturally anxious to

mills for fire purposes It allowed by tbt
olty charter, but this will be increased wben
the new charier under contemplation is

growing too rapidly to be compelled to de
pend on a S-mill levy tor the support of Its
fire department With the funds derived
from this small levy only two hose com
panies and eight men can be kept on duty
and as it is there is generally an overlap
in tbe fire fund at the end of the fiscal
year.
This Question of an increase In the fire
department is being agitated by business
men and it is expected teat results will ma
terially before long.
