Tha Imposing church building, once owned
by the congregation of the Flrat Christian
church, located at tha northeast corner of
Fourteenth and K streets, caught firs this
morning and Is now In ruins. It waa
erected seventeen years ago at a cost of
(M.OOO or fSS.uOO and was at one time 1
garded as one of the finest jplacea ot
worship In- tha city.': Over two years ago
it was bought at foreclosure sale by Bishop
Bonacum, of the Catholic church, for 114,
000. Two Weeks ago . the work of remodel
Ing t restructure was begun and It waa ex
pec ted to. complete tha work early next
year,
It la charged by Father Shine, rector of
BL Theresa's pro-cathedral, and Father
Oeorge Aglus, aeeretary to Bishop Bona
cum, that the budding was set on Are by
some fanatic who did not want to aea the
Catholic secure; for their use's sanctuary
that had once been devoted to Protestant
service, v, . ' ; . j
At 4.30 o'clock thla morning John A.
Delany, engineer of the Sawyer flats now
under construction across ths street, si
moke coming out of the upper window
over the "south .entrance. He ran over to
Investigate. ' Thea ha saw flames licking
tha windows. Ha ran to L and Fourteenth
atreeta and turned In the alarm. ,
When the fire department reached tha
scene flames wers shooting from a number
Of places under the roof. The. water pres
aura was so feeble that it waa about ten
minutes before a stream could be thrown
on tha fir. .
Before o'clock the department had tha
lira under control '.The great mass of ma
terial which had formed the support of
the slat roof was still sending out great
volumes of smoke and streama of water
were playing over It.
Bishop Bonacum ia out of tha city, hav
Ing gone eaat for a vacation trip and to
escape the hay fever. Father Bhlne and
Oeorge Aglus, his prjvate aeeretary. were
een at tha cathedral house.
Imraui .Covere oss. ,
Both were very sorrowful over the de-amctenor-tMi
building. Secretary Aaiua
said that Iha'loes wou!4 be fully covered
bv Insurance..
"Bishop Bonacum valued the church
vrooerty at 164.000," said Mr. Aglus, "and
I am aura that ha carried a heavy insur
ance on the building. He so ipformed ma
r this far after the purchase of the
structure over two years ago."
"The building la practically ruined," de
clared Father M. A. Rhine, rector or t.
Theresa's pro-cathedral, "and it will have
to be rebuilt. ' Perhaps the tower will
tend, and If It is possible to work It
Intact in plana for rebuilding In tha fu
tura it wlir- be. done. '
' t'lt t my opinion that tha fire la of In
eondlary origin." declared Father Shine,
earnestly. "The. contractor has told ma
several times' of the bitterness manifested
by some who have dropped In to see the
building since remodeling, began over two
weeks ago.' The contractor v said ths ex
pressions, of resentment were made, to him
becauss of the. fact that a 'Protestant
church had been purchased by the Cath
ollcs and would hereafter be used by them
for holding religious services." .
Fireman William A. Knowlton of station
house. No. .11 declares that the , church
building waa sat afire, by a bolt of light
nlng.
"Shortly afte t o'clock a terrlfle thun
derstorm was on," said Knowlton, "and
before It finished Ha atunt some of . the
hardest elapa of thunder you ever heard
Jarred the atmosphere. I think that one
of the bolts landed on the chrch build
Ing and aet the woodwork near the roof
ablaae."
Board of Bqaallsatloa.
. The State Board of Equalisation and
Assessment held its last meeting for tUa
year ltd In tha -office of Governor Mickey
thla morning. All member were presen
except Treasurer Mortenaen, who is at Ms
home-In Valley county. The only busl
nesa transacted was to approve the minutes
'of tha Mast meeting and' the record In
. general . for the current year. The rel
work - ot- the board concluded when It
passed oa assessments by counties some
time ago.
Tea Costly for Cewa-resatiea.
Ths Central Church of Christ, belonging
to the Christian denomination, was dedl
rated August IS, . 188$.. The corner stone
waa laid July t MSI. Milwaukee buff brick
waa used In the construction of the out
side walls. The building and lots cost 164.000..
The church was constructed during boom
times and the cost ot material and labor
was high. The lots were purchased also at
steep figure. . - "
- The erection of such a oetly edlflee prac
tically bankrupted a dosea of the leading
members of the church. After the comple
tion of the building the property was heav
ily mortgaged, 'but It hot being possible to
mortgage It for anything like the full
amount, these members, then In affluent
circumstances, signed personal notes for
the balance. The hard times that followed
the boom some years later caused a tre
mendous drop. In values. Those who had
obliged themselves to pay wsrs forced tn
meet the accraed obligations. The building
committee waa composed of J. Z. Briscoe.

waa feeling 111 and suffering .from pains
about tha heart, decided to take soma

Tha -result was that I became -seriously

It wa reported that ths young woman

ago with tha Intention of becoming the
wife of a traveling man, but that' the

that she became despondent and decided

Policies January 1 last, which was a quinquennial cash dividend, amounting to
about 10 per cent, of the premium for a year, declared on all Policies (except
Increasing Life and Endowment Policies, which by their terms carry benefits
increasing yearly after the third year) issued in 1881, 1886, 1891, 1896 and
1901. The amount appropriated for this dividend was about
SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY -TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. .. .
' . Thus the Company THIS YEAR has declared and IS PAYING dividends on Industrial Policies amounting to
Over Two Millions of Dollars
Every one of these Policies is non-partlclpatlng, promising a definite sunv only at maturity, without dividends. The payment of the dividend la
PURELY VOLUNTARY. Dividends have been actually paid without promise for many years by the Metropolitan. The total amount now approximates
In 18 years.
Ten Millions of Dollars
Included among these Policies are hundreds of thousands of Policies issued by other companies and assumed by the Metropolitan. ,
INTERMEDIATE
Intermediate Policies ior 8500 each have been issued by the Metropolitan
for 10 years past. They are Policies designed for such of the Industrial classes as
can afford to pay annual, semi-annual or quarterly premiums instead of weekly.
As the plan was new there was no actuarial experience to guide the Company as
to the mortality cost. The Company promised to pay, if earned, dividends
after five years and annually thereafter. This year the Compan set aside ovet
Six Hundred and' Twenty Thousand Dollars
to be paid In dividends on Intermediate Policies during 1906. Payment of these dividends has brought the cost of the Policies very nearly down to the non
partlclpatlng rates of this and other Ordinary companies. ...".
ORDINARY
- The Ordinary Policies issued by the Company for the last 15 years have
been practically all written on non-partlclpatlng rates plain business contracts
for plain business men, which tell their whole story upon their face, leave noth
ing to the imagination, borrow nothing from hope, require definite conditions
and make definite promises in dollars and cents. The rates, therefore, are low.
The Company has in force, however, a considerable, though, compared with its
total business, a very small percentage of participating business. Some of the
Policies were Issued on annual dividend and some on deferred dividend plans
many of the latter having been issued by other companies and assumed by the
Metropolitan. Upon these Policies the Company has this year declared and ia
paying a dividend equal to the excess premium charged by mutual rates over
the non-partlclpatlng rates charged on its current business. The amount of
thla dividend is nearly TWO HUKDKED THOUSAND DOLLARS, which Is a
voluntary extra dividend. j-
Thus.the amount of dividends the METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY is paying this year is nearly
n Three KYUIIions of Dollars
THREE QUARTERS OF WHICH IS A VOLUNTARY GIFT BY THE COMPANY TO ITS PATRONS.
MORAL INSURE IN THE METROPOLITAN.
