These are fhe principal advances to af fect Omaha, To offset them local Insurance men say they expect an equalisation that will reduce premiums on substantial seml flre proof buildings and. what are known as "flint class risks." No reduction Is promised for residences or contents because It Is alleged these are as low as can be written. The union, which is the supreme arblt.er of rates. Is still busy figuring on advances ot decreases on certain classes to be announced soon. nesalt of Heavy Losses. A prominent Omaha Insurance man, who did not want his name used, said: "The new rates are the result of analyses of losses over the Western Union Juris diction for the last five .veurs. It has been found that In some classes the losses are disproportionate to the rates charged and, based on actual facts, should be advanced. On the other hand other classes have been found rated too high and to be bearing the btirdons of the poorer risks. The Hayden Bros, tire was a good example with a tre mendous loss n the stock by water and 1100 worth of damage to the building. Pncking houses have always been written l a flg'iire that made them almost profit less. V , " ,"We will not be able to tell In Omaha whether the: readjustment means more or less money to the people of Omaha. Un spectors are now going over the buildings and stock, blink by block, and as rapidly as a. block Is finished the new rates will be promulgated for It." Eighteen states Affected. The action taken by the Western Union nffects eighteen states west of the Alle gheny mountains and east of rb.e Rockies, ?xcept five lcrge cities that !iave ltfcal ooards of fire underwriters. Omaha Is not jne of them. j s It la' said the advances Are calculated, to SCALY ECZEMA .LL OVER BODY cover expenses of operation rising from 40 per cent and yield a per cent profit on the business done In each clsss. Thirty-seven other classes are declared to lie "unprofitable" at present rates. .and a committee of the union Is now working on these. One of these classes Is hotels, restaurants and saloons, which are de clared to bo especially bad risks. Saloons j may be put In a class by themselves. Cheap theaters are esld to have been very bad proro-itlons from the Insurnnne view point. The committer s still collecting data on these and other classes. Campaalea See the Money. Chairman Oeorge W. I,iw of the West ern Union Is quoted as saying the condi tion of th companies that bore heavy losses In the Ran Francisco fire made a higher rate absolutely necessary If the concerns were to be kept Intact. He also said that it had been decided that bad risks must be forced Into the profit-yielding classes. Following is the new schedule on the thirteen classes, the loss ratio being the received: Loss Ratio. Inc. Colleges and schools 73.

Such a conclusion may be derived from the recent investigation of A. M. Longwell, Omaha manager for Booth & Co. Mr. Ixingwell, Interested Irrf extending the fish trade, wrote the agents of the express com panies In 158- towns in Nebraska and east ern Wyoming, asking them among other questions whether or not the supply of ice was sufficient for the summer. About 76 per cent answered in the affirmative, the remaining 25 per cent in the negative. "So you see," said Mr. Longwell, "the dangers of Ice famine have been over estimated. It would be useless for me to say that Ice Is plentiful, or that It is not higher priced than usual, but I do think the state will get along very well. My ob servations Indicate that prices are ex orbitant only In towns where one company has a cinch on the business. Of course the scarcity makes this possible. In towns where there la competition, prices are higher than last year, but not unreason able." Recently an Omaha paper published a cock-and-bull atory on Its front page under an Illuminated head about the Impending ice famine In Omaha and when the man ager of the ice company mentioned In the story was asked about the facts, he smiled and sAld: "That was a paid ad." But so far as local commercial men know the ice famine prices will not be abolished.

The case was submitted after an all-day session of court, at which eignt or ten lawyers addresred the court. The hearing was taken up Friday morning, with a crowd ot auditors present to listen to the oratory. - The forenoon session was taken up with the arguments of John P. Breen and W. J. Connell, and at th. con clusion of Mr. Council's address an ad journment was taken until after dinner. H. C. Brom., Edgar Bcott. T. W. Black burn, R. B. Howell and John T.

In which Mr. Breen objected to the Introduction of any proof on the part of th. county clerlC It was s freed to argu. the case on tne pieaaings oy do in parties. Mr. Breen opened the attack by quoting rom several works to show that delegates to conventions were really of more Im portance than th. candidates they nomi nated. He also discussed thJ growth of th. direct primary system. He contended delegates to th. state convention were officials within th. mesnlng of the primary law and consequently their names should be rotated under section I ot th. law, Law Does Kot Maa Aloao. W. J. Connell, who followed, contended that th. last primary law did not stand alone but should b. ronstrued in th. light of th former law which was .till in fore, where the two were not Inconsistent Th. county clerk, ha said, should exercise common sens, in arranging th. ballot Delegates to stat. convention, he held wer. mere mediums for th. selection of candldstes and th. rotation plan was not Intended to apply to them. The main thing was the selection of candidates for office and th. purpose of the law was to facilitate this and not to so confus. th. names en th. ballot that the voter woull b. unabl. to express his desires. "Supposing," ha continued, "w. still ha.l iit aspirants to th. United states senator ship seeking endorsement by th. stat. convention. If all six of th.iu should file a delegation of eighty-three names there would be over 410 names to g. on th. ballot In rotation and th. voter woull b. unabl. to express hi. preference fur either of them. He would have to pick out eighty-three names from th. 410. Th. result would b. that most voters would vote for less than eighty-three In order to be sur. they did not vol. for on. toyj many and caua. their ballots to b. throwa out. "But these six candidates hav. dropped ut of th. rac. on. by on. until now tb. opponent, of Edward Rosewat.r Anally picked out Mr. Crounse to lead the opposi tion. But they decided aa out-ana-out fight was not a good thing, so they deter mined on this plan of confusing th. volar to prevent him from expressing his choice. If th. six delegations w.re grouped every voter would hav a chanc. to express hie preference." i 11 quoted th provision of th law that of voters wns so small that each voter could hnva thirteen minutes in which to vote, and he thought that would 'ba. suffi cient. "How about the Bve-mlnute rule," one of. the judges asked htm. "Oh, I never heard of that provision of th. law being enforced." he said. "It W only Intended to be used in case there sre others waiting." In his closing address . Mr. Breen prno tlrally admitted it would Ik- a hard tlilnB for an average voter to cast his ballot. "Perhaps in passing this law," he nkl. "th. legislature thought that there wre certain evils in the politic of this city which could only be corrected by imposing disability. Perhaps th. disfranchisement of men who cannot count the elgbty-three names correctly is the object of this law." Beat All. When your eyes are dim, tongue coated appetite poor, bowels constipated.
