Tr. B. C. Bplnney and his Bankers Union
,0f ... tho World have forsaken Omaha and
' undertaken to open up offices In Chicago.
Wlss Margaret Murdock, grand secretary,
nnd Dr.' Bplnney, grand president, are re-,
ported still to be at the helm, endeavoring
to cave the ship.
Pr. Spinney left the Millard hotel, where
he resided, September 20, saying he was
going to Des Moines. Mrs. Spinney and
daughter are now In Des Moines, their for
mer homo. Dr. Spinney lived for years in
Iowa before starting up the Bankers
Vnion In 189S. . He was for jears a Baptist
preacher nt Dubuque, and then launched
out Into the insurance business. v
The offices on the second floor of the
Paxton block, formerly used by the Spin-
ney . concern, have been vacant since
Wednesday, although a small card hanping
on the , doorknob told that assessments
might be paid to Mlas Pearl Smalley in tho
New Tork Life building. Miss Smalley
says she Is secretary of the (ocal order and
Is authorised to collect assessments, but
he turns the money over to Attorney F.
Ia Weaver. She said she understood the
order was moving the headquarters to Chi
cago, although remittances to the head
quarters were not to be made until Octo
ber 10, and she supposed they would know
by that time.
The Merchants' National bank was the
depository of the order. It had practically
closed up affairs there.
Attorney Weaver said they were forced
tomove their headquarters from Nebraska,
because they were unable to get a license
in this state and had been operating this
year without a license.

Over a . year ago Insurance Deputy
Fierce attempted to revoke the license Is
sued to the Bankers Union of the World,
but Dr. Spinney secured a restraining order
from the supreme court to prevent such
aollon. Judge Ryan was appointed referee
to take testimony, after which the supreme
sourt passed u.un the case. The decision
waa to the effect that It Dr. Spinney
would make certain cliauges In his laws
and would conform to certain rules laid
down by the court the license would not
be revoked. While the case was pending.
however, the company continued to do
business.'
At the beginning of the new year insur
ance Deputy Pierce refused to Issue a new
license, holding the report made by the
company did not conform to the law as
laid down by the supreme court. Numer
ous letters passed between Dr. Hplnney and
the Insurance department, but no license
was Issued. It was understood the order
continued t do business without the nec
eskary permission. lnsuranoe Deputy
Pierce was-Investigating this matter. He

JACKAL SAVES MASTER'S LIFE
It Ha Beea Tamed aad Attacked tbe
Assallaat of the Ma a Whe
Befriended It.
Of all tbe wild animals that roam the
Jungles and, plains of the tropical world
none Is so easily tamed and so readily
reduced to that state of docility where he
will live In dally association with man
aa tbo jackal,' and the story that George
Caxtun, employe - at the docks, at Port
Chalmette, L., tells serves to bear out
this claim In a manner most positive.
, Caxton, who Is a man well on in years,
remembers the time when New Orleans
was hardly half the slxe it Is now, and
In that distant day he worked on the
levee as a stevedore, contracting for the
loading of the clipper ships that all times
lined the wharves.
Long before the war an Irishman named
Burke, as Caxton tells the story, kept a
sailor boarding house and saloon in
Tchoupltoulas street, below Jackson ave
nue, and Burke had many acquaintances
among the tollers of the sea. One of the
tars, who ran on a ship which made the
long Journey around the cape to the East
Indies the Sues canal was not built at
that period brought him as a present a
jackal cub. The little thing was hardly
larger than a good-slsed pappy, and, aa
Burke's sailor friend said, he had to feed
the animal on a bottle and nipple, se
cured from the captain's wife, who had a
nursing baby, all during the voyage.
Burke took to his pet from the first and
would not have exchanged htm for the
finest and rarest dog on earth. The little
beast was playful as a kitten, stood for
all kinds of fondling, and as he grew
older he learned many funny tricks, such
as are taught to dogs. '
.Burke named the' jackal Barney, and
the animal devloped Into a fine specimen
of his class, aa large a full-grown sheep
dog, with grayish coat, white breast,
broad head, straight ears and bushy tall,
he became the pride of the Irish barman's
heart.
An English captain, up on natural his
tory, who sometimes visited Burke In
search of sailors when short-handed, gsve
the saloon keeper all the dope on the
jaqkal species, genius, habits, etc., and
told him how In India the animals were
often used by the English residents as
watch dogs, and it was Burke's delight
when he had the time for It, to train
Barney In the art of watching and guard
ing. The Jackal being even more dog than his
close relative, the wolf, is, was an apt
pupil and soon learned to crouch behind
the counter when the saloon waa full cf
drunken sailors and tough longshoremen,
and play guardian over the drawer where
the money was kept. If any stranger
dared approach the drawer, Barney would
arise from his crouching attitude, lower
his head and snarl furiously. It's need
less to say no attempt at burglary waa
made on that cash box. Barney conceived
I such an attachment for Burke, who was
very gentle and kind to the beast, that If
any one. even In play, raised a band as
though to strike the barman, the Jackal
If not restrained, would spring at him
with a growl of rage.
Barney one night was the means of sav
ing the life of his' master and Caxton
never tires telling of the thrilling Incident.
On the night in question four sailors
from a Swedish barque were at the coun
ter drinking, and' as the men had been
Imbibing all day. they were in an ad
vanced stats of Intoxication and manifest
ing an ugly temper. After taking several
rounds of cheap whisky they refused to
pay for the last set of drinks, and when
1 Burke Insisted on getting what belonged
to him on of the Swedes struck him a
glancing blow with his fist and knocked
his cap off. Most all Irishmen are fighters,
and Burke, true to the tradition of his
race, waa ever ready with his hsrd flats tu
ansmer the tap of the gong. Burke, upon
receiving the blow, which did not hurt
hlra much, with a yell at anger Jumped
over the counter and made for the Scan
dinavian quartet with the dash of a cy
clone. He keeled two of the ugly bunch
over, and as he waa swinging for th Jaw
of the man who had struck him the fourth
! sailor lifted a chair to knock th Irishman
down. Burke smashed the party h was
after, but aa the bruised and groggy sea
man went to the floor the Swede with
th chair voanacted with Burke bead
and Burk toppled over all btit ense-les.
While th three stricken sailor were
crambling to their feet. Burke' last as
sailant. Insane from drink and fury, dropped
the chair he had wielded to such good
advantage, drew a large bladed knife, and
sinking to hi knees, leaned over the pro
trate Irishman, with the weapon raised. In
tending to stab him. Burke, recovering his
scsttered wit somewhat, saw the flash of
the knife in the glare of th smoky oil
lamp, and reaching up, seized his would-be
murderer by the wrist and held him. But
Burke was weak from the tap on the head
and he felt hut fingers losing their grip, a
the cursing Swede struggled to release his
wrist. The barman had about given him'
self up for lost when a happy thought
struck him. Barney waa behind the counter
guarding the cash drawer, and the Irish
man appreciated that If the jackal knew
of his master's plight he would fly to
the rescue. Just when about to lose his
grip on tho Swede's wrist entirely, Burk
called at the top of. his voice, "Come, Bar
ney, quick boy, catch him." The jackal
speedily arswered the summons, came from
behind the counter, and taking In the situ
ation at a glnnce, sprang upon the Swede
who hcM the knife with the force of a cata
pult. Barney knew how to gauge distance
and striking the sailor on the shoulder
with his big forepaws, turned him com'
pletely over on hi side and bit and tore
madly at the fellow's throat. The Swede,
sobered by the attack, tried to fight oft his
assailant, but lie had dropped his knife In
his fall, and powerless to defend himself
sgainst the great beast, he screamed loudly
for help. Burke had In the meantime re
gained his feet, and as the assistant bar
keeper, who had been eating hi supper
In the rear of the bouse, and had been at
tracted to the saloon by the sound of the
fray, was pitching the last of the first three
Swedes into the street, the Irishman ran
over to Barney, and throwing his arms
about the Jackal's neck, dragged him by
sheer force from the fourth sailor, who
would have been killed otherwise. A It
was, th sailor was so badly hurt that he
had to remal.i three weeks In the hospital,
and the scan on nil reck left by th Jack
al' fangs lit must have carried to his
grave. Barney lived a long Urn and whan
he died ills grateful rr.aer burled him
under a mag -toil tree In hi back yard,
built a little mound of earth mer the grave
and placed t w i oen board at the head,
bearing tbe Jrfrkr.l's nam and age. New

' Rewards of $500 for evidence leading to a
conviction for Jury tampering and of an
equal amount for a conviction for perjury
were offered by the Omaha Bar assodstion
at a special meeting held last night In the
Commercial club rooms. The action waa
taken after a joint debate of some heat
between John I Webster of the street car
company on on side and a score of other
lawyer on the other, and a deluge of sub
stitute motions and amendments which
threatened to Inundate the meeting. Th
outcome was something In the nature of
a compromise, the advocates of a 11,000
reward for Jury bribing alone accepting the
suggestion of Mr. Webster and dividing th
amount Into two part, half of which 1
to go for th prevention of perjured testi
mony.
The general question of offering a reward
was discussed Informally after the meeting
had been railed 1 to order by President
Baldrlge. After .A.- C. Wakeley,- T. J. Ma
honey, James C. Klnsler and F. L. Weaver
had spoken In favor of the plan, Mr. Web
ster took the floor and declared th pro
posal wa a reflection on every Juror In th
country and an advertisement t9 the world
that the bar had no confidence In the
jnror. He cited cases which had been
Investigated without result and then de
clared the Bar association should look to
certain evils existing within the rank of
the bar, such as the practice of so-called
"ambulance chasing." He thought the as
sociation had Just as good cause to offer
a reward for the detection of perjury.
This precipitated a somewhat heated dis
cussion In which a number of attorney
took shots at th alleged tactics of at
torneys and agents for corporations In set
tling claim. Several speakers asserted the
claim agent evil was greater than the
"ambulance chaser" evil.
Resalt la Compromise.
The discussion was taken up by John O.
Telser, W. A. De Bord, T. J. Mahoney,
Georgs W. Cooper, Frank Brogan, Carl
Wright and a number of other. Mr.
Webster sought to Include In th motion to
offer 11.000 reward for evidence of Jury
tampering a similar reward for evidence of
perjury and of "ambulance chasing" by
member of the association. He finally
moved a a substitute that the association
raise aa much money a possible for the
correction of evil In th judiciary and then
apportion It among the three named. This
was lost and the original motion altered
to Include both Jury tampering and per
jury was passed. The executive committee
was directed to secure pledge of money
for the purpose.
Then Mr. Webster moved that It be th
sens of the association that "ambulance
chasing" meet with the condemnation of the
association. Mr. Mahoney took a covert
shot at corporation claim agents by offer
ing an amendment defining the term' "am
bulance chaser" to Include agents or repre
sentatives of any attorney or corporation
who seeks to use undue means on sick or
injured person In effecting a settlement
of claims. This wss accepted by Mr. Web
ster and passed without a dissenting vote.
The association voted to Invite the State
Bar association to hold Its annual meet
ing November 22 and 23 In Omaha. F. A.
Brogan reported that the executive com
mittee of the association ' had decided on
Omaha and wanted the co-operation of the
local association. Some speakers of prom
inence will be in attendunce.

TWAIN'S "FIRST APPEARANCE"
At HI Daughter's Singing Debat He
Tell of the Stage Fright that
Gripped Him.
' Mark Twain did not Introduce his
daughter, Mis Clara Clemens, to the audi
ence that crowded the gymnasium at Nor
folk recently to hear the young con
tralto make her American debut. He
closed the evening, however, with a few re
marks, In which he recalled the agony of
his own first appearance upon a public
stage.
"My heart goes out In sympathy to any
one who is making his flrst appearance
before an audience of human beings. By
a direct process of memory I go bock forty
years, less one month for I'm older than
I look," he said, wagging his snowy head.
"I recall the occasion of my flrst appear
ance. San Francisco knew, me then only
as a reporter. and I was to make my bow
to San Francisco as a lecturer. I knew
that nothing short of compulsion would get
me to the theater. So I bound myself by
a hard and fast contract so that I could
not escape. I got to the theater forty-five
minutes before the hour set for the lecture.
My knees were shaking so that I didn't
know whether I could stand up. If there
Is an awful, horrible malady In th world
It Is stage fright and seasickness. They
are a pair. I had stage fright then for the
Art and . last time. I was only seasick
once, too. It was on a little ship on which
there were 200 otner passenger. I was
sick. I was so sick that there wasn't any
left for those other 200 passengers..
"It was dark and lonely behind the scenes
In that theater, and I peeked through the
uttie peek, dole they have In theater cur
tains and looked into the bis: auditorium.
That was dark and empty, too. By and by
it lighted up and the audience began to
arrive.
"I had got a number of friends of mine,
stalwart men, to sprinkle themselves
through the audience armed with big clubs.
Every time I said anything they could
possibly gueas I intended to be funny they
wer to pound those clubs on the floor.
Then there was a kind lady In a box un
there, also a good friend of mine, the wife
or the governor. She was to watch me
Intently and whenever I s-lanced toward hep
she was going to deliver a gubernatorial
laugh that would lead the whole audience
Into applause.
"At last I began. I had the manuscript
tucked under a United State flag In front
of me where I could get at it In case of
need. But I managed to get started with
out it. I walked up and down I waa young
in those day and needed the exercise
and talked and talked.
"Right in the middle of that speech I
had placed a gem. I had put In a moving,
pathetic part which wa to get at the
heart and soul of my hearer. When I
delivered it they did Just what I hoped and
expected. ' They sat silent and awed. I
had touched them. Then I happened to
glance up at the box where the governor's
wife was you know what happened.
"Well, after the first agonising five min
utes, my stage fright left m, never to re
turn. I knew if I wa going to be hanged
I could get up and make a good showing,
and I intended to. But I shall never forget
my feeling before the agony left me, and
I got up here to thank you for my daughter
for helping her, by yur kindness, to live
through her first appearance. And I want
to thank you for your appreciation of her
singing, which I, by th way, hereditary."

How She Surprised Him.

minutes by the cuckoo clock.
"I have a surprise in store for you, Al

plied, "It will be well for us to board."
