of County commissioners on advice of the

Niate'a Wealth In Inaarance.
II. 11. Roblson, president of tho Bank
ers' Iteserve lafe company of Omaha, ad
dressed the club on the wealth producing
power of life Insurance. Nebraska
Insurance companies, he said, have
nearly 1, 500,000,000 Insurance In force,
iH8,612.00O being within the state, a
sum In excess of the assessed taxable
valuation oSf property In the state, which
Is l2,138,000. The assets of Omaha In
surance companies are nearly S20,000.0u0.
''The accumulated assets of Nebraska
Insurance companies for 1910 totaled
29,ZXS.3," said Mr. Roblson, and there
la no doubt that the figures for 1911 will
exceed $30,000,000.
"This vast sum has been gathered, not
only from Nebraska, but from many
other states In the union. It Is owned

We wero frequently obliged to accept in exchange on these new pianos used instruments.
From all of our branch stores, from every wholesale agency, we have assembled here at Omaha these Taken-in-Exchange

Union Pacific Balance
to Show Big Business
for December Month
According to Wall street reports. Union
Pacific business for November showed a
falling o(f of ll.101.SM. Now, ac
cording to the same report, the slump
has passed and the Pecember report will
show a substantial recovery, with the
earnings fully up to the normal, and per
haps ahead of those of any December
in years.
If Wall street tella the truth, the big
loss in business to the Union Pactflo dur
ing November was primarily due to the
fact that shippers sent their freight over
other lines, because of fear of Interrup
tion of perishable or valuable goods be
cause of the shopmen's strike on the
Harrlman system.
Blnce November, Wall street says the
situation has changed and In all of the
hope, over 7 per cent of the normal
force Is at work. Shippers knowing this,
have become aware that their fears were
groundless, and, early In December com
menred again routing their stuff over the
Union 1'aclflc, and as a result, business
not only picked ,up, but paused that of
corresponding months of former years.
