Kver since Nebraska and adjoining
state began to accumulate wealth, the
pastern companies, both fire and life,
have drawn large sums ot money from
the people of these states In premium
rates paid to maintain policies cover
Inn the lives nnd property of the people.
In tho early years of statehood It Is not
possible for men to build up home
chartered companies, but when a state
reaches the point where the annual pro
duction of wealth is on great as that of
Nebraska during tho last twenty years,
experience shows that business men -are
disposed to favor western confpanleti In
tho purchase of policies. In the last
quarter of n century, somo very strong
companies havo grown up In Iowa and
Nebraska, and they are now great finan
cial institutions, developing and pros
pering In a remarkable degree.
The' United States census gives tho es
tlmated truo value of all property in
Iowa at H.3ti7.8G9,0iil and of Nebraska at
$1,:8,:03.203. These vast sums represent
the accumulated wealth of these two
great states. The annual production of
wealth Is also stated In figures and Is

The November Issue of the Mid-West
Mugazlne has the following to say on
patronizing qf ,. home Insurance com

"In the September number of Mid-West
Magazine un effort was made' to Im
press upon Nebraskans the Immensity
of the sums they annually send outside ot
Xebraska for insurance .that could bo
purchased Just as cheaply and Just as
safely of Nebraska insurance companies.
In the artlclo mcnjoncd statistical tables
set forth by years the amount paid by
Nebraskans tor flrn and life Insurance,
and a comparison of these tables showed
that the foreign companies got tho bulk
of this .business.-
"Remember, now, thut every year Ne
braskans an sending upwards of $7,000,
OM) to outside companies for fire and
life insurance.
"When wo take Into consideration the
added amount sent out for accident in
surance, surely bonds' casualty bonds,
etc., the sum Is greatly augumented. As
Nebraska grows In Industrial Impor
tance the amount of accident and casu
alty Insurance bought by Its workers
and by Us employers grows In propor
tion. "Nebraska Is sending more than $2,000,
000 a year outside of the etate for ao
cldent, surety, and casualty Insurance.
"In other words, every year Nebras
liniis ipb themselves of the fruits that
might be obtained by keeping tills $10,

on trial today on a charge of man
slaughter her defense will be th unwrit

whom Delucca was the father.
If a Jury decides the unwritten law did
not Justify her act, the girl must be con

The girl patwed Delucca at Tenth and

lie scoffed at her and she shot him twice
with a revolver. "I'm glad I killed him.
she cried shortly afterward.
Delucca and Miss Sortino formerly

Fortunately the people of the west uro
realising, as never before that It la to
their Interest to pat-onlsc the good west
ern companies. Every year shows an
Increase In the total amount of piemTums
paid to the life insurance companies
chartered In Nebraska and there Is gooJ
Rround for the prediction that this ag.
grcgate amount will be largely IncrenKod
during tho next Tew years. In lll the
amount was Jl,:tU,"fil.0O, and In 1911 It
approximated $1,500,000.00.'
"While these totals should be double
what they are, they give promise of bet

panies of Nebraska nnd Iowa" do busi
ness In many states throughout tho west,
which swells their total receipts to very
large figures. A - rough estimate of the
total accumulated assets or Nebraska
life nnd fraternal ' companies Is' nearly
W5,000.000.00. This Is Nebraska-owned
money. It Is Invested In securities In the
shrpe of registered state, county, munici
pal nnd school district bonds, and In first
mortgages upon Improved farms In the
west. It yields about 5 per cent annual
Interest, or say, Jl.TSO.OO), which goes to
swell the aggregate wealth of thettat.
or municipal bonds and' warrants. Than
this there could be no better security.
This will have to be admitted without
argument,

$10,000,001 a year out of Nebraska for

rare works of art and costly. There are
going to be ns many calendars us ever

.There Is n tendency upon the part of
tho companies to curtail In this direction.
The Insurance commissioner of Wlscon
"'J Jim notified the Independent Order
of Foresters of Toronto, Canada, which
relliioulshed It state license laat month,
that It has assigned "no valid reason o

state, and that Us withdrawal will not
be accepted. When the order surrendered
Us state license It stated that conditions
in Wisconsin made It lniosslble for It
to continue to do business In this state,

tended "as u respectful protest against
your unwarranted action relating to our
recent readjustment legislation."
The committee of the Burglary Iiisur
ance 1'nderwrlter' association, which haa

reports that this is largely due to Inter

changes lu present policy forms to go
Into effect on or about January 1. The

but ut higher rates. In amounts In ex.
cess of $3,000. Another form provides for
SO per cent coinsurance on the value of

Habeas Corpus Suit
Tests Eight to Send
Man to County Jail
A habeas corpus suit to test the legality
of the practice of Police Judge Foster of
sending prisoners convicted of violating
city ordinances to the county Jalt was In
stituted In district court . Saturday by
Frank Davles, convicted and sentenced
on a charge of -vagrancy.
Davlcs asserts that he Is held illegally
by tbe sheriff because the police Judge
exceeded his authority in sending him to
the county Instead of the city Jull. A
hearing will be held Monday. Attorneys
say that the court may refuse to con
sider the question an the ground that a
convicted offender has no. right to com
plain of the nature of u Jail. If the
court takes this position It would still be
possible for the county or city to bring
suit to test the police Judge's authority.
County officials assert that the practice
of Judge Foster results In filling the
county Jail with prisoners whose board
costs the county CO cents a day per per
son under , the charges made by Sheriff
McShane. They say it Is practically lm-
possioie to couoet from tho oit' the

MADDEN VERY MUCH ALIYE

RESULT OF ANOTHER "JOKE"
Victim flays lie Win Hot Cnllty mt

ferw for This,
A pracUcal Joke that kicked back and
which In thu kicking Involves two prom
inent undertaking firms, halt a dozen
physicians, two or three preachers and
any amount of mental anguish on' the
part of several score ot friends nt the
victim gave the police an uneasy hour
Saturday night.
Just after 6 o'clock llraltey & Dorrance
got a call to come to the Catitoii hotel
and get the body of Attorney August
Madden, familiarly called "Hed" Mad
den, who was supposed to have died of
heart failure. Immediately after, the
aentlemau undertaking firm received a
like message. While the two un
dertakers' wagons were backed up
at the Carlton hotel. Coroner "Wil
li Crosby's rig drove up and
the three rolemn faced gentlemen sought
the corpse. They found hlnj, very much
alive and red In the face, trying- to ex.
plain to Ilev. ..C. W. Savldge and sev
eral other ministers that he was not
quite leady for tlielr offices. Ha had
Just gotten rid of the last of si physl
clans, "Ave you tryln to kid us. young fel
ler?" demanded one of the undertakers.
"If yare, you'll need us a darn sight
qulcken'n you think "
Madden flnaly convinced them that
they, as well as lie himself, were the
victims of some practical Joke.
Police Called In.
Before he convinced them, though, one
ot the Irate physicians had called head
quarters, Madden accuses i lien Keegan, a high
officer of a local labor union and one
time candidate for the legislature, ot be
ing the cause of his trouble.
"I was with some fellows the other
night when they framed up a bogus tele
phone call, and told Keegan that some
fellow was fatally Injured at the I3runs
wlck hotel and that Keegan was to be
notified. Keegan ran down to the Itruns
wick In the rain, and while he was on
his way, the Jokers called up the Bruns
wick clerk and told him that a craxy
man was on his way down there with
a gun, to clean out the place. When
Keegan arrived, he was met by a police
man, who lost no time ln collaring him.
"By the time Keegun could explain that
he was the victim of a practical Joker's,
plot, he was drenched to the skin. He
thought I was responsible for the Joke,
and I am sure that he took this means
to get even. BUt he Is hit with his own
boomerang, because ever' one of those
undertakers. doctors and preachers in
tend to send him a bill for professional
services."
