"I have done nothing wrong and could, If given a fair oppor tunity, amply justify my claims, but if taken back to that backwoods corner In Washington, 1 am afraid Justice would not be done me. I had no fears but that Governor Mickey will see the right side of. the case." tales His Cass. Dr. Dladrow gives this version of the affair i "On my ranch near Crelghton I have successfully treated men addicted to drink. Two years ago t went to Whatcom, Wash., where I met a man who became deeply Interested In the results of my remedy. Me wanted to buy the patent right for the state of Waahlngton and asked me what 1 would take for It. We finally agreed oh 114,000, half of which waa paid down and the other half to come In other ways. "Boon afterword be got a chance to sell hla right for 112,000, providing t would be willing to make new contracts. The con tract be and I made was entirely mutually satisfactory, but the man or men who were proposing to buy him out desired a new oontraot, and t had no Objection to It, . until I found what really was pro posed. Instead of the state of Washington the deal was to cover the entire United States, so I refused to become a party to any suoh contract. Whereupon he and his associates sought to Injure me, claiming I had defrauded them. ' "Immediately they set to work to carry out their vengeance. They got to Gov ernor Mickey before 1 had time to see him and procured a warrant lor my arrest Washington, but they did not get me. A short time ago I went with the Bhrlners to Blouz City and from there .up to Fargo, and then back to Bloux City, where I found myself confronted and Anally ar rested by these Washington officers. . I was given bond by suoh men as the presi dent of one of the banks, and then went down to Des Moines to lay the matter before Governor Cummins, who refused to sanotlon the arrest after looking Into the case. "Now, having failed to cinch my arreat In Iowa, these men .have returned to Ne braska with-another requisition on I Gov ernor Mickey for me. I will go to Lincoln and explain the whole matter to the gov ernor, who, X feel sure, will protect a citl sen of his State who has done nothing wrong." nnun Inn t nnrni mil t IA duiu ftrau ludcoiv vviuliivu F.rasev Chief Exeeatlv. aa4 City Comptroller Regarded as Ca i df dates for Ooverser, According to his friends former Governor James E.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES. Ferris Stock Osnpaay at the Boyd. The Ferris Stock company delighted a targe Sunday night audience with the fltet production of "The Black Flag," which will run the first half of the w;ek with a special matinee this afternoon. The play la one of thoae melodramas where the In terest Is never allowed to take even the briefest recess and the actors may dis charge firearms as often ns they please. Considerable attention Is given to the scenic effects and the cast does careful work. Mr. Sullivan aa Harry Glyndon does not have as much opportunity for display of his ability as In some of the other roles that he has had. but makes the manly but discredited stepson a very likeable person. Much of the comedy work fella to Peter Raymond as Lasarus, the money lender, and gives him a chance to show a marked capacity for low comedy work. Mr. Owen enacted a handsome but exceedingly vll Uahous Jack Glyndon. Miss Pavey In the leading woman's part was well tecelved, while Miss Davis got her usual friendly reception and Miss Carmontolle and Mlaa Hill were accorded hearty approbation In roles to which they were well suited. As the guide of Portland prison F. A. Megraln scored a hit. Mr. Caldwell did strong work as Owen Olyndon, the hard-hearted but re lenting father.

WILL MAKE ANNUAL VISIT Bishop Worthlasrtoa la to Be Here to Malt Baccalaaretto Addreas for BrownelL Bishop Worthlngton will be In Omaha next Sunday and probably will remain a week. Thla will be one of hla regular visits to hla parish, as he. usually comes In the spring and again in the fall. His visit at this time will be for the purpose of preaching .the baccalaureate sermon at Trinity cathedral to the class of Brownell Hall. He will consult with the Clarkson Memorial hospital authorities in regard to the building fund and other business of that Institution, and with the vestry of the Cathedral in regard to the vacancy in that parish. At this conference between the bishop and the vestrymen It is ex pected a new list of eligible clergymen will be presented. Nothing will be done by the vestry until hla coming. The ca thedral haa been rather unfortunate in trying to nil this vacancy, as It haa called most of those names formerly presented by the bishop, and for one reason or an other the clergymen had been unable to come to Omaha.

The Toronto conflagration close upon the heels of Italtimura and Rochester, all within the first four months ot this year, presents to us In most ominous form the severe drain to the breaking point in many cases upon the reserves ot the fire Insurance companies. Something must be done to minimise the sweeping fire has ards In the cities and tonna. This can be done only by penalising the risks that are a menace to safety from fire by pre venting the construction of such struc tures as are fire producers. The adoption and strict enforcement of proper building laws by municipal or state authorities must be secured. Here your influence should be exerted also In securing a proper Interest upon the part of your cltlsnns in maintaining an ample water supply and efficient Are department, so that fires may be controlled before they reach conllara tlon proportions. There is no greater question before the public than that of de vising some way of staying the frightful destruction of property by Are. The year 11404 will ha attends. i,nAr,,hi!v K a larger fire waste than any In the history I of this country, not exempting the two Chicago and Boston fires. What is to be the effect upon the insurance capital Is a serious question. Many companies are now sorely oppressed. Some have been forced to reinsure some have retired, and others are struggling with the problem of their future. What are you doing looking to the pro tection of your customers In assisting to solve the problem of upholding the efforts of your companies to secure adequate rates and proper protection, thereby strengthening the Indemnity extended? The securing of municipal action for the best fire protection (only a reasonable demand considering the taxes paid by the com- r antes) should engage your best energies, f every agent In your state will put hla ahoulder to the wheel, much may be ac complished. Bad and burdensome legisla tion may he prevented, proper building laws enforced and cleanliness and care ex acted of property owners. Aa faithful stewards you may assist greatly In bring ing about the Improved conditions so vi tally essential In meeting the needs of these critical times. Enclosed with the letter Is a printed statement of the net earning of forty-one of the largest companies In the world during the past five years. In comment ing on the statement the article which ac companies It says: We have prepared sn Important exhibit showing the experience of forty-one large agency companies during the past five years, giving their actual underwritlnfif gain ana loss for each year during that period. Thla is the showing: . Loss. Gain. 1888 t T.808.000 ICnO e.099.000 lfl 7.16J.O0O 192 S.IW.OOO 1903 13.S38.000 $17,806,000 tl8.5Sl.000 17.866.000 Gain for five years t 66,000 Thla shows that these forty-one agency companies who wrote premiums amounting to about- $660,000,00 during these five years actually gained $606,000, or slightly over 1 per cent for the whole period. This cer tainly is not a remarkable underwriting record, nor can it be truly termed a period of "unprecedented profit. It is clear that these facts alone would Justify the compsnles tn considering whether the present level of fire Insurance rotes was sufficient to carry the cost of Indemnifying the mercantile Interests of the country. But upon top of this there Is the Baltimore loss, in which the forty-one companies Included In this table paid losses amounting to $17,800,000. Therefore, Including 1D04. the period of six years from 1899 to December 31. 1804, la likely to stand the companies a loss of anywhere from llB.ono.OOO to $25,000,000, for apart from the Baltimore fire, the general "record ror 1904 has started In very badly and Is likely to be a serious one. During the week Hon. Frank S. Tesch, superintendent of Insurance for Colorado, and Hon. John Upton, special examiner for the Insurance department of Kansas, were In the city to make an official joint examination of the Bankers Reserve Llf Insurance company of thla city The re port filed with the company and Inaurance departments shows tho books, records and affairs of the company to be absolutely correct. The examination was made of date May 20, 1904. It shows the gross assets on that date to have been $236, 2S; net ledger cash assets, $229,886.23, with no unpaid death claims, bills, obligations or ledger liabilities of any kind. The state ment is made on a cash basis' a to as sets. The cash in bank la shown as $54, 292.29; registered bonds, $60,000; real estate first mortgages, $61,160; loans to policy holders, $18,832.83; bills receivable and cash, $27,869.83; a total of $229,686.23. During the week the Bankers' Reserve Life was authorized to transact business in the atate of Minnesota, and now holda a certificate of authority from the Insur ance department of that state. The total Insurance of the company now In force amounts tr about $8,000,000, and the com pany Is now doing business In fifteen statea and territories. The new paid business for May will be about $350,000. It may be of Interest to note that during the past forty-five years 1,680 Joint stock, mutual, fire and marine Insurance com psnles and Lloyds have failed or retired from business In the United States. This la offered ns an argument by a local Insur er ce man to prove that the bualneaa of fire Insurance la not a bed of roaeg and that it requires men of great ability to conduct such companies successfully.
