Whether It la because fires seldom occur
In Omaha that make a serious demand upon
the efficiency and discipline of the gallant
men who make up the regular fire depart
ment, or that fires involving great danger
to persons In buildings and to the firemen
themselves are still rarer, the public baa
few opportunities to wltnese daring work
or thrilling rescues, but deserved confidence
In their capacity has been won bv Omaha's
flre-flghtera In actual battles with flames,
and Is greatly enhanced by the fact that
they keep In lively training for meeting
and effectively responding to anr and all
contingencies Involving hazard to lives or
property. While all the firemen are given
opportunities for practice with life-saving
and special fire-fighting apparatua, the
only special equipment for these purposes
Is at engine house No. 3, where, also, are
facilities enabling: the firemen to nrartlra
difficult climbing feats, the use of pompier
laaaers. Dandling life-saving net and other
apecial exercises.
Omaha Mea Well Tralaed.
"Only a very few cities In the United
States provide their fire departments with
very device found to be of a practical
character and find It necessary to conduct
regularly schools of training. New York,
Chicago and possibly Philadelphia, but re
ports of these schools of training and de
scriptions of the kind of apparatua and how
it la handled go a long ways toward in
creasing the efficiency of firemen every
where," aaid Chief Salter yesterday. "Go
where you will, you will not find better In.
formed firemen than guard the city of
Omaha. At engine house No. 8 we have.
besides the usual ladders, four pompier
ladders, three of the latter being enough
to form what Is called a chain. These lad
flers are only used to ascend to otherwise
Inaccessible points on a building, and of
course are invaluable when life Is endan
gered by reason of the cutting off of the
ordinary means of exit. They are light.
but atrong, and any of our firemen can, by
their use, climb to the roof of the highest
building In very short order. The man
taking the lead carries the end of a rope
and this Is made fast. The men handling
theae ladders are provided with a belt, to
which Is attached a strong hook. Should
It become necessary to carry a helpless
person to the street, the fireman gives
two wraps of the rope around the hook, and
this acts as a brake and admits of the fire
man devoting himself freely to the work
of rescue. Nevertheless, It requires superb
nerve oftentimes, but no one has reason to
doubt that Omaha's firemen possess that
to a high degree. Then, too, these hooks
are used In connection with the pompier
scaling ladders, and by attaching the hook
to the pole of the ladder the fireman la
enabled to have free use of hla arms to
lther render aid to save life or to co
operate with the other firemen.
How the Mea Keep Trained.
"Our men keep In training In the use of
these life-saving facilities and all the de
partment's life-saving apparatus la carried
on the wagon to every fire. Another thing
of no small Importance In these days of Im
provements and new methods, our men
profit by careful study of the special means
employed in the very Urge cities to save
life and property, and, while we do not have
an equipment equal to New Tork, for ex
ample, we profit by studying and discussing
new methods. Our men are exceedingly
well Informed In this way and supplement
the facilities we have on hand with apt
knowledge of the exact thing to do In
emergencies. After all, that which ren
ders special equipment of real value Is the
Intelligence, skill and bravery of the men.
We have a substantial equipment and an
equipment well fitted In character to fight
any fire. Of course, an Ideal equipment
would mean the duplication In various sec
tions of the city of the special facilities we
have at engine house No. 3.
f When tho Ket Is Needed.
"It sometimes occurs that the pompier
ladders cannot be used," continued Chief
Baiter, "on account of flames and amoke
bursting from windowa. Should life be (n
Jeopardy we have a spring net Into which
persons can leap with safety, where other
wise a Jump meana death. The success of
the spring net is due In no small degree
to the coolness of the person In danger,
A leap to the net ahould always be gauged
so that It will be struck as nearly as pos
sible In the center, thus distributing the
strain nearly equally on the Bremen hold

bring it into service, skillful hands will

The last attempt of the British forcea in
South Africa to surround and capture
General Delarey and his band of burghers
is admitted by Oeneral Kitchener to have
been fruitless. So, up to the present, the
rout of Uethuen's force and the capture of
Methuen remains unavenged by British
arma.
A record of the strategy and tactics of J.
H. Delarey, the prosperous land owner and
leader of the burghers of Llcbtenburg for
many years of peace, would probably fur
nish the most valuable matter for scientific
students of warfare that Is to be found on
either aide in the South African struggle.
But apart from a military genius that re
calls the personality of some of bis ancea.
tral compatriots In the first French repub
lic, there is another side to Delarey as a
man.
When the Boers struck tbelr first blow In
the western campaign by capturing the
British armored train on the Mafeklng line
and occupying Vryburg, relates the New
Tork Sun, the Boer operations were directed
by Delarey. When Vryburg, which lies out
In the flat wholly unsheltered and was sn
easy capture, found itself without a con
stituted government, the neutrala began to
help themselves freely to the household
furniture of the British residents, who had
hurried south into Cape colony.
Delarey himself moved south with his
Llcbtenburg commando, collecting burgh
ers as he went, and held the railway south
of Klmberly. But as soon as he learned
that proceedings which were not In accord
with hla sense of the art of war bad fol
lowed the Boer occupation be ordered every
attck of property In Vryburg to be returned
to its rightful owner and at pnee set up a
munlctpsl system which wss found working
In perfect order eight months afterward,
when the overwhelming numbers and wide
spread disposition of Lord Robert's
columns moving north necessitated a Boer
Fire Insurance Profits
Only one reason is given by the Insur
ance companies for their recently announced
advance in rates "We want the money."
They assert that the business has been un
profitable during the last ten years and
that the present advance Is absolutely necea
sary in order that they may continue. Fig
ures furnished by the Insurance companies
themselves do not support this assertion.
Examination of their statements to the In
surance auditors of the several statea for
the year 1901 shows that the companies
prospered during last year and without the
present advance of 25 per cent, which they
are now enforcing on all new business and
all business that la renewed. Recently
The Bee published some tables compiled
from a tabulation prepared by the Spectator
of New Tork. the leading fire Insurance
publication of the country, from reports
made to the insurance department of New
Tork by 148 Bra insurance companies doing
business in the United States for the year
1901. Theae tables show the following
state of facta:
Total premium income i 1165.291375
Total disbursements 164,403.084
Excess of premiums collected.! 889,291
These compsnles collected from premiums
alone in 1901 almost $1,000,000 more thaa
their total disbursements, which covers
losses paid, underwriting, expenses, divi
dends, everything, in tact, for which an in
surance company pays out money. The
premium income shows an Increase during
1901 amounting to $18,I49,8BS ever the year
1900. while the losses paid show an increase
of but $4.52S,966. Total disbursements for the
year 1901 show an Increase over the ytar
1900 of but $9,300,852. which la less than
halt the Increase in the amount of premiums
collected. The total Income of these 148
companies for 1901 waa 8177,629,135, an in
crease ot $19,240,037 over the year 1900.
One hundred and ten American com
panies, whose figures are tabulated In the
showing afforded by the Spectator, report
dividends paid during the year 1901 amount
ing to $6,308,762, an increase of $21,936 over
the year 1900. These companies had a
capital stock ot $54,502,875, ao the dividend
rate waa 11.57 per cent. This is almost 1
per cent a month on the face value of the
stock owned by men who ssy fire Insur
ance is unprofitable. Some Insurance man
will answer this statement by saying that
not all of the companies paid a dividend.
That la true. Twenty companies out of
110 report no dividend paid for the year
tlon made at the Transmlsslsslppi exposi
tion on September 8, 1898, when the records
made by the Omaha boys were eye-openers
to the companlea from Kansas City, Denver,
Lincoln and other places. I hope Omaha
will always escape Area which place human
life in Jeopardy, but should such a Are oc
cur I am confident only a panic oa the part
ot persons in danger, or some extraordinary
condition attending the Are, would pre
vent our men from saving all persona with
the equipment we have, together with the
training In its use our mea maintain."

The bank manager at Vryburg told the
present writer after the British reoccupa
tion that Delarey's system had worked like
a perfect model, aad It does not appear that
there is a single outstanding private claim
of any kind arising out of his extemporized
government.
The lsst to leave Vryburg when the Boers
came In were the half dozen officials of the
Bechuanaland Survey department. Delarey
convoyed them down with their families,
handlag them over from commandant to
commandant, until they wers set free to
take the train below. Orange river. When
they were seen at Capetown none had any
words but those of personal regard to say
of him.
J. H. Delarey pronounce his name De
La Rey is a medium-sized msn of slight
build. His head aad features are large and
hVs complexion look pale against his full
black beard.
He la not only a man of extraordinary
mentality, but be looks It, a natural math
ematician and a man of action. A quiet
manner, combined with extraordinarily
bright eyes, gives a sense of power at the
first sight of the man.
A correspondent who occupied the room
which had been his quarters before the fall
of Bloemfontein waa told that often De
larey wasn bed less than two hours in a
night. He was always personally seeing to
the carrying out of hla plans.
It was he who overruled Plet Cronje when
the older man insisted on sticking to the
old style of fighting, seeking the hillsides
and from improvised stone schsnses using
the purchase of the higher positions to
throw back attackers, as bad been success
fully done in the Kaffir wara. Delarey said:
"No; they will assume that we are on the
kopje. Let us go somewhere else."
He had his wsy at Magersfonteln, when
1901. These twenty companies have a
capital stock amounting to $6,150,000. By
deducting this from the total capital of the
110 companies, we get $48,352,875 as the
actual capital on which the dividend was
cald. or a rate of a little more than 13 per
cent for the year.
Why these twenty companies did not pay
a dividend does not appear on the surface.
It certainly waa not because tbelr business
was unprofitable. Their aggregate premium
income for the year 1901 was $5,031,068, and
for 1900 It was $4,013,681, an Increase for
1901 of $1,017,387. During 1901 these com
panies paid Are losses amounting to $2,
957,539, and during 1900 they paid $2,884,210,
so that while the premium Income Increased
by more than a million dollars during the
year, their fire lossea were only $73,329
greater in 1901 than in 1900. Their
total disbursements were but $4,880,
332, or $150,736 leas than the premium
Income tor the year, while their
total income was $5,557,951, or $677,
$19 greater than their total disburse
ments. Only four of the theae companies
make returna showing that tbelr total dis
bursements exceeded their total income. In
the aggregate these four companies report
total income of $1,777,327. and total dis
bursements of $1,914,27$. By deducting
these from the whole It leaves for the six
teen a total Income of $3,780,624, and total
disbursements of $2,966,060, or a surplus of
$814,564, ' which amounts to a little more
than 13 per cent on the capital of the entire
twenty. That the net surplus of theae
companies did not suffer' any diminution
in the aggregate is shown by the fact that
on January 1, 1901, they reported a net sur
plus amounting to $1,930,548, while on
January 1, 1902, the figures were $2,318,793,
an Increase of $388,245. One company,
which reports it surplus for 1902 at $230.
108, did not report for 1901. Deduct this
and there is left an Increase In the net
surplus of the nineteen companies amount
ing to $158,137. In order to fully appreciate
these figures the business of these twenty
companies which did not report dividends
paid for 1901, should be compared with the
business of the whole list of companies re
porting. The total asseta of the 148 companies
which reported In New Tork on their busi
ness for 1901 in the United States grew
from $232,345,090 on January 1, 1892, to

Characteristics and Ex
ploits of Gen. Delarey
he moved the Boer front line forward snd
to the left into the long, low bsnk of rough
flat, away from the big hill, and thereny
trapped the Highlanders. How right he
was may be Judged by the fact that Lord
Methuen poured lyddite ail the previous
afternoon on the hillside, where it subse
quently appeared there was nobody.
Again when General French struck round
to the east for the relief of Kimberley, le

back along the Modder, and the Llchten
burg man got his commando' away north to
Boshof, taking with him the big gun that
had been turned against Methuen's camp at
the Modder for the previous two months.
He also got away the Boer siege guns out
side Kimberley and took them all up to his
new bsse without a casualty.
His habitually accurate reasoning led to
Delarey's being frequently taken away from
his western Transvaalers to devise positions
tor other Boer leaders.
Since the British occupation of the rail
way line and the stretching out of the block
bouse system have made pergonal meetings
among Boer leaders more difficult he has
remained in the western Transvaal, of
which excepting the towna he is still
practically master.
He is a humane, companionable man, not
at all cynical, otherwlae his release of Me

might again meet soon In battle.
Before the war Delarey was a leader

Some Further Figures from the
Reports of the Companies.
$322,143,170 on January 1, 1902, an increase
of $89,798,080 in ten years. During the
same time the net surplus of these com
panles expanded from $54,702,686 In 1892 to
$106,012,267 In 1902, an Increase ot $51,309,
581, or almost 100 per cent. Premium in
come grew from $124,086,350 to $165,292,375,
an increase of $41,206,025. Fire losses paid
during this time Increased from $78,334,159
to $96,996,932. or but $18,662,773. That la
to aay, during the decade the tribute ex
acted from the people grew at the average
rate of $4,120,602 per year, while the
amount returned in payment of losses in
creased at the rate of only $1,866,277, or
less than half as fast. For the ten years
the ratio of increase for the item of
premium Income Is 33.13 per cent, while
the ratio ot increase for fire losses Is but
23.82 per . cent, the collections exceeding
the payment of losses at an enormous and
steadily increasing rate. During these
same ten yeara the total disbursements ot
these 148 companies grew from $128,450,869
to $164,403,084, an Increase of $35,952,215,
while their total income Increased from
$133,308,024 to $177,629,135, a growth ot $44,
221,111, or a net increase ot Income over
all disbursements, of $8,268,896. As the
disbursements include an immense divi
dend, as shown, ranging from $5,474,473 In
1893 to $6,308,762 in 1901, the yearly aum
to be carried over seems reasonable
enough. It will be noted that while the
annual disbursements increased by $35,952,
215 during the decade; the lossea paid only
sLow an increase of $18,662,773, and the
amount paid in dividends grew only $834,
289. This leaves $16,455,153 ot the Increase
in disbursements to be covered by that
blanket item, "underwriting expenses."
The Increase in surplus comes from the
excess of Income over expenditures. It
amounts to almost 100 per cent in ten
years. Tet rates have been advanced for
1902 because the business of fire Insurance
la the United States Is not profitable. One
of the companlea, the Aetna of Hartford,
paid a dividend of $700,000 on a capital of
$4,000,000, or 17.5 per cent for 1901, and In
creased Its surplus by over $300,000 during
that time. Another, the National Union
of Pittsburg, collected $212,360 in premiums
and paid $18,510 in losses during 1901. Its
total income was $229,114, and its total
disbursements $109,212, leaving aa excess
of Income of $119,902, sufficient to pay 23.98
per cent on its capital stock of $500,000.
It reports no dlvidenda paid.

I am pleased to give my experience with
1 Vine of Cardui as I am very grateful or
' ks help. After my first baby was born I
could not seem to re gain my strength, al-
though the doctor gave me a tonic which he
i considered very superior, but instead of get
ting better I grew weaker every day. My
husband came home one evening with some
Tine of Cardui and insisted that I take ft for
a week and sec what it would do for me. As
he seemed to have so much faith in it I did
take the medicine and was very grateful to
' find my strength and health slowly return
! ing. In two weeks I was out of bed and in
; a month I was able to take up my usual
. duties. I am very enthusiastic in its praise."

happy mother, watching her children grow
into manhood and womanhood. A mother
lives as many live ae she has children
their joys and sorrows are hers, as are
their ambitions, triumphs and defeats.
So highly is the honor of motherhood
cherished that sometimes noble women are
called upon to give their lives in its attain
ment. The women who suffer in child
birth and from the effects of miscarriage
are the real martyrs. It takes more forti
tude to suffer in this way than to meet
a violent death in the rush and roar of a
battle. But such suffering is almost en
tirely unnecessary at this age of the world,
when Wine of Cardui, the medicine that
cured Mrs. Unrath, of Benton Harbor,
Mich., can be secured.
Healthy women do not suffer miscarriage
nor does a woman who is healthy suffer
tortures at childbirth. It it the woman
who it ailing who has female weakness
who fears the ordeal of becoming a mother.
Wine of Cardui builds up the womanly in
the woman. It stops all unnatural drains
and strains irregularities which are re
sponsible for barrenness and miscarriage.
It makes a woman strong and healthy and

Mrs. 0. R. Wooding, of Indianapolis,
Ind., sayt the gets through childbirth beep
by using Wine of Cardui. She writes:
"I have received great benefit from taking"
Tine of Cardui, while nursing my children.
I did not have Tine of Cardui after the first
two children and was greatly reduced in '
flesh. But the last two times I have used it
wtth good results to myself and the little
oaua. I think it makes the babies heahhiet
for me to take it I seem to get through
childbirth better by using it too."
With these fact that Mrs. Unrath and
Mn. Wooding lay before the women ot
America no one who it about to become a
mother can afford to fail to take the Wine
of Cardui treatment. Wine of Cardui, ia
reinforcing the organs of generation, haa
made mothers of women who had givea
up hope of ever becoming mothers. Wine
of Cardui will cure almost any case of bar
renness except those cases of organio trou
ble which no doctor or medicine can pos
sibly cure. How can you refuse to take
such a remedy that promisee tuch relief
from tuffering ? Wine of Cardui simply
makes you a strong woman, and strong,
healthy women do not suffer. They look
forward to motherhood with joy.
