futoprndons Asrvreirate of Dnilaeit
According to the report of the Insurance
department of the state of New York for
1906, on January 1, 1907, 120 life Insurance
Companies were doing business In the
United States, which reported assets of
nearly $3,000,000,000. and a total Insurance
In force of more than $12,000,000,000, or an
increase of nearly 6,000 per cent since 1859,
when the Insurance department of New
' York was first organised.
These figuree are shown simply to empha
sise the Importance of the establishment of
Insurance companies In the west and par
ticularly In this growing metropolis of
Omaha, In order to show that If railroads
are to be built and equipped from this
great storehouse of policy premiums, let
It be the railroads of the TTansmlsslsslppI
country and without first having western
funds filtered through the stock market
of New York.
Omaha la awakening to the Importance
of the establishment of Insurance Institu
tions, and a round dozen of these, which
have been organized within the last fifteen
years and which maintain their headquar
ters In Omaha, show the possibilities of home
Institutions. These Institutions are: The Co
lumbia Fire Insurance company, Woodmen
of the World, Bankers Reserve IJfe com
pany, Bqultable Endowment, Nebraska
Underwriters' Fire, German Mutual Fire,
Security Mutual Hall, National Mutual
Fire, German American Llfo, Retail Mer
chants' Fire, Metropolitan Bond and
Surety and State Insurance company of
Nebraska, all of which are full of life and
enterprise and ftre doing a world of good
for Omaha.
,' Millions Brovarlit to Omaha.
The total amount of money brought to
Omaha annually In the way of premiums
by these doeen companies Is approximately
$7,000,000, or to be more exact. $6,904,000 dur
ing- the year 19OT. ASBOClataa wun uitn
are about 600 employee and officers, whose
'aggregate aalarles amount to. $201,600 per
'annum, every, dollar of which la spent In
Omaha among Omaha merchant or tn
vested In Omaha property. The average
deposits of theso establishments In Omaha
banks and financial Institutions Is $6,800,000,
and the amount of direct Investments In
Omaha property or enterprises reaches the
handsome sum of $l,lf0,000.
This Is a pretty fair showing for little
over fifteen years In the establishment of
Omaha Insurance Institutions. With the
growth of past years there la every assur
ance to believe that during 1907 the amount
of premium money brought to Omaha by
these institutions will reach $7.XO,000.
V What Iowa Par".", ' " "
In Iowa the home fire ' companies collect
about $3,000,000 annually In premiums, while
the foreign companies collect but a trifle
over $2,000,000. Des Molnos Is the Insurance
(center of Iowa, and has been often referred
,to as the Hartford of the west. There is
no good reason why Omaha should not
be the Insurance center of Nebraska.
In Nebraska the foreign fire companies
collect about $2,000,000 annually in premiums,
and the home companies but little over
,$1,000,000. The average loss ratio In Ne
braska Is 40 per cent, and is about the
wmt in Iowa. This leaves about 60 per
cent, at least 40 per cent of which goes
.back' east, or nearly $1,000,000 taken out
of the state annually, which should lust
as well be left here In the state. With a
premium reserve fund of this amount re
tained In Nebraska for reinvestment, the
l borrowers would be benefited just that
much. It is the rule among the Nebraska
home companies to supply the demand for
local loans almost Immediately, and Ne
braska securities are' regarded the best in
the weal
Experience of a Homo Company.
A manager of one of the largest Omaha
fire companies said: "With sll our Ne
braska Investments in the seven years' we
have been In business there fcas never been
a defaulting of interest or neglect to take
up the loan when due, which conclusively
shows to me that western securities are the
beet on earth. The east has long recog
nized this fact, and only the other day a
representative from an eastern loan com
pany was here to place money, but failed
to do so because the borrower preferred
to borrow, of home concerns. The Omaha
cumpanlea as a rule prefer to scatter their
risks, rather than concentrate them, and
by observing thl conservative process the
liabilities are not concentrated, as was
demonstrated In the Ban Francisco fire,
and a big, destructive conflagration in a
' city la not such an alarming thing to the
local companies as might be supposed." ,
Home Insurance la Heavy.
' Nebraska Is fourth in the extent of in
surance carried by home companies. The
states ranking In, this order are New York,
Wisconsin, New Jersey and Nebraska.
About 20 per cent of Nebraska Insurance is
carried in Its home companies. This applies
more particularly to the life companies.
The flrxt of these was established at Lin
coln In lsiT. There are now seven of these
companies in the state. Two are capital
Stock companies, two mutual legal reserve
and three stipulated premium companies,
the combined assets of wblcb will amount
'to about $iiO0,MA The companies vperat
( Ing under the stipulated premium law are
aa full legal reserve companies as the
When, except la a legU technicality, SAd
are required to maintain a full legal reserve
on all contracts Issued.
Omaha lecelves extensive advertising
.through lis local companies. Not alone
through formal advertising, but through
the vast amount of circulars and other
printed luforuunion sent out through the
great host of agents and deputies employed
by the various companies.

Omaha Has a Chnnce.
with the proper encouragement to . the
home companies Omaha could readily be
made one of the greatest Insurnace com
panies of the west. Numerous small cities
have . become of national Importance
through their Insurance enterprises. Many
of them are better known because of being
the homes of Insurance companies than
from any other cause. This is particularly
true of Hartford, Conn.; Olens Falls, N. T.;
Freeport, Rockford, and Peoria, 111.; Water
town, N. Y. ; Bprlngfield, Mass.; Keokuk,
la.; Des Moines, and scores of other towns
might be mentioned In this connection. In
some instances the insurance companies
that gave these towns national pre-eml
nence have become merged with other com
ranles and gone out of existence, yet the
fame of the city or town as an insurance
center remains, and It Is more distinguished
from that cause than any other.
This faot strongly emphasizes the vital
Importance from an economlo standpoint of
the western section of this country doing
a part at least of Its own insurance busl
ness. Otherwise it will remain tributary
and dependent upon the whim of eastern
financiers. The never-ending absorption of
money from every city, town and hamlet.
factory and mercantile establishment
throughout the west to b'tlld up the cash
balances In the treasuries of the insurance
companies of the east will if continued
establish the financial supremacy of those
section.
Reserves' Have Great Effect.
"For the Interests of the Insuring public,"
as stated by a leading Omaha home Insur
ance man, "It is beat that Insurance funds
which must of necessity be accumulated In
large reserves, Bhould not be centered in
localities remote from which thoee funds
originate to be controlled by one set of
financiers whose buslneae generally Is not
Insurance, but the management of other
corporations, handling stocks and bonds,
lit sides, it these vast accumulations are to
be used for investment In other enterprises,
aa they must be In order to earn their ex
pected Interest, then why not have them
Invented in the commercial enterprises
which make for the progress and the de
velopment of the people who furnish the
funds? Why should we send money east to
have It loaned back to us when we get hard
upT If great banking corporations are to
be built up on the deposit of lnaurance
funds let It be our own banks. If farms
and factories are to be established by the
use of insurance accumulations, then let
it be the farma and factories of the people
who pay the premiums."
Prlbate to the East.
In the last ten yeara the people of the
state of Nebraska have sent approximately
.uo0,00g to eastern companies,' and it is
fair to presume that Omana has con
tributed at least one-ninth of this vast
amount, while the returns have been lesa
than (91) per oent. It should further b re
membered that the returns are but little,
if any, in excess of. the interest on mort
gage loans held by eaatern financial Insti
tutions. How important, then, it is that
home enterprises ahould be built up and
home money kept noarer borne Instead tf
sedli it to the east and then borrowing
it back.

latter the father of all steam navigation,
whose first thoughts of what might be
accomplished by putting an engine Into
a boat, no doubt, came to him while, as
a youthful clockmaker, he wandered along
the shores of the Podunk, a full century
and a half ago. He was born in January,

the name of the state Is not given. There
Is no other Podunk anywhere which can
'hold a candle" to this ' Podunk that we
all know about here.
In fact, our Connecticut Podunk Is the
original article, and all others are mere
imitations, '
After the Englishmen under the lead of
Wlnthrop, who were determined to be
Americans, arrived In Salem In 1630, one
of the first Indian cluefs who came from
the backwoods to make their acquaintance
was Wahqulnnacut, who went to Boston
in 1031 to see them, and he is said to have
belonged to the Windsor tribes, or Po-
dunks.
Podunk signifies the place of fire or place
of burning, from "potaw," fire, and "unck"

Potunk. Nona of the historians Intimates
that It was an Indian synonym for hades,
but It certainly meant a hot place. It Is
also made clear in their ancient histories
that the Podunks were great lighters, or
"hot stuff," in the vernacular of today.
None of them was ever converted to Chris
tianity. The Podunks owed their gradual extinc
tion to their bitter feuds with the Mo
hawks, down the river. Sixteen or more
of the Podunks were killed at one time
In a Mohawk ambuscade. A remnant of
the tribe existed in East Windsor In 1745,
but had quite disappeared In 17W, says Dr.
Stiles, who also says that it was some

war, and sent his son, Oneko, over Into
the Nlpmuck country, Massachusetts, on a
raid about lt-60. The Nipmucks were
trimmed on that occasion in great shape.
This happened In what is now the town
of Brookfleld. The settlers from Ipswich
got there about that time and found that
a meadow at the head of Quabaug pond
was called Podunk, and the name has
lasted, although It does not appear that

lived there. For Podunk history you must

WILD CAT LOVES A BABY
Oaee Savage Creature Son as

How would you like to have a real live
wild cat for a pet? This Is what little
Elsie Stearns, ( months old, and Helen
SUttixns, aged 9, daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Stearns of Pasadena, Cal., regard
as their deareat treasure.
They would rather play with this big Cali
fornia wild ail than with their smaller do
mestlo cats, and he is just as good-natured
as any of the rest, too.
Bengal is his name, and he looks the part,
for his marking is very similar to a Bengal
tiger' a He Is a beautiful animal, about
three and a half feet long, and very heavy.
His fur is soft and thick, and It Is with
this soft fur that the round-faced baby
loves best to play.
The photographer caught the baby just
as sho was pulling the wild cat's hair, and
he Is submitting to It with rare good na
ture. Were It nt for hla slse, one might
think this gentle beast a well-bred do
niestlo animal.
He was caught when i months old la
the wilds of the San Bernardino moun
tains, and purchased from a hunter at that
age by Mr. Stearns. He has been with the
family since that time. He was put right
with Several small Angora kittens, and
grew up and played with theee. He used
to roam the house and jump on tables and
bockcises, just as other kittens, and they
are obliged to keep him In the open, for. In
his playfulness, he might break ornaments

never a growl or sound, and he la also fond
of Utile .Miss Helen. He likes women and
children generally, but does not tare, for
men. Mr. Stearns says the reason for this
Is that he has been obliged to take iir.
