PROPOSITION T0 REORGANIZE
Omnhn oniclnln of Security Mutual
I'rrfrr to Oprrntr Under
Older Law.
The officers of the Security Mutual In
suranco company, against which the state
officials took action yesterday, are given on
tho state books as follows: D. I. Tcter,
president; A. L. Knabe, vlco president;
II. E. Wernlmont, secretary and treasurer.
Mr. Wornlmont Is at Carroll, la., on busi
ness and tho other two had heard nothlug
last night of the action of the state auditor
In bringing tho company's affairs to a
close.
Mr. Knabe said that he formerly served
In the capacity of attorney to the company,
but Is not an officer of tho company at
present. Dr. D. P. Tcter 'stated that he
refused to pay premium on Insurance ho
held In tho company for the purpose of
dropping out and that ho la no longer nn
officer or member of the company.
In explaining his reasons for wishing to
withdraw from tho company Dr. Tetcr said
that It was organized under the 1897 law
and that every member of the company Is
held to be a stockholder In tho sum of his
Insurance and is responsible Individually
for tho company's losses up to the amount
of tho face of his policy.
"It was our Intention to reorganize the
company under the law of 1873 or rather to
establish a new company under the law of
that year and take all the business of the
Security company," said Dr. Tcter. "Under
tho law of 1873 policy holders are not liable
for more than the amount of their premium.
I know of only one loss of the Security
company which is unpaid and supposed
there was plenty of money to pay that. It
was disputed for some reason. In January
tho company was carrying about $300,000
worth of Insurance. I don't know what
amount It has at present."

It would bo fair today. The rain that

twenty-four hours to bring It. I got mlno
In thlrty-slx hours. My experiment has
been a success; my theories have been
proved to be true.
"I havo also been successful In destroying
clouds of magnetic formation. To this
class belong hailstorms and thunderstorms,
as well as cyclones and tornadoes. At 1
o'clock last Thursday clouds of this clacs
appeared. I began firing twelve mortals
and In twenty minutes they bad disap
peared from view.
"This demonstrates another phato of my
theory. I can break up a hailstorm or pro

highly magnetic centers, This magnetism
may bo caused to disappear by tho con
cufslon theory.
"I was hampered In my experiment by a
lack of help. Tho volunteers left me after
a few hours of desultory firing, I have a
completo record of all the proceedings and
will publish tho results In a day or two.
I will also request a public donation of
money to buy more powder, ropalr my mor

Unless this Is done I will experiment no

issued tno following appeal for assistance:
To tho Citizens of Lincoln nnd Vicinity,
nnd the Stnto In General: The splendid
success of my ilrst test In rnln production
by tiring mortars, working under the mont
adverse atmospheric conditions, such being
selected by myself for various rennons, nnd
from the fact thnt nt U o'clock (midnight),
when success appeared certain, one-half cf
my tiring force left me. and of tho remain
ing force one-half left me nt 3 a. m.
I could only work six mortars from 3 to 6
a, m,, when nil help left. I was prepared
to Are five shots every minute for twenty
four hours, or longer If necessary. In view
of success attained under the above cnndl
tlonf this success being witnessed by many
on tho grounds. In the neighborhood, and
some from the city, lly request of many I
ftci warranted In saying to nil Interested
.n.it my services nnd mv morlnrx nrn nt
the service of the people provided material
nnd money sufficient to purchase powihr
and a few otner little- expenses for ma.
terlnl, together with funds to pay for oulll
dent help to keep continuous llrlng of oil
mortars for from twenty-four to fortv.
eight hours If necessary, are furnished. I
villi not attempt another test without sum-
clrnt help thnt I know will stny on tho
tltlnc line until success Is assured or fnll
urc Is plainly apparent. My own funds are
exhausted, with success partially secured.
In tho name of humanity and tho tre
mtndojH Interests of every ono at ntnke,
enn the pfoplc of Nebraska In tho face of
Vie splendid success so fur mnde, can they
now fall to tomo to the front nnd assist ir.o
In making success certain und positive be
yond tho crnnkings of tho Ignorant mis
representations of newspaper correspond
ents, ridicule ot editors nnd desire of
eremles, who would rather see failure Hum
success nttend my experiments? If I nm
to proceed further I want to do so within
ten days let some one speak for the peo
ple that preparations may be made nt onco.
During mv experiment last Wednesday
evening I mndu record every half hour of
atmospheric conditions up to fi o'clock n. m.
This record will ho published In , few
dnys. This report will show any rensonnnlo
person i hut great success was obtained In
spite of ill discouraging conditions.
