LIFE INSURANCE STATISTICS Figures Showing the Business Transaoted By the Varions Companies. THE CO-OPERATIVE ASSESSMENT A Statement Goi Show That Peo- ple Have Soms Object in Dying —A Loan Company Incorporated. IFROM THE BEK'S LISCOLN BUREAT.! The nuditor of state has the figures all compiled for publication showing the business of life insu s companies for the yonr 1896, Judging from the cash in- ed by Nebraskans in deals after death, there dre a great many who are laying by for rainy days and to make money by death if they fail in life. The statements as prepared are divided into the old line companies and the co-oper: tive ones. The old line companies, or rather those that transact business to any considerable extent, make showings as follow Mutual Life of New York— Policies issued, 36 amount written, i premiums ved, $106,673.92 written, $16,960.51 $0670,940; premiums 1, losses incurred, 8. Northwestern Mutual Life ot Milwaukee—Policies issued, 277; amount written, $640,2 premiums received, 3 08; losses incurred, $10,587.

Union Central Life of Cincin- nati—Policies issued, 162; amount written, $25¢ ms received, $19,165.438; los ses paid, $3,182.08. Michigan Mutual Life of Detroit—Policies issued, 196; amount written, $320,000; premiums re- ceived, $11,766.96; losses incurred, none. T'ravelers’ of Hartford, Conn., (accident) ssued, 1,804; amount written, ; premiums _received, $36,- losses incurred, $19,914.79. ; From the reports of the co-operative companies and those working on the as- sessment plan the following figures are exhibited: Benevolent Union of Hastings, Neb.—Policies issued, 905; amount writ- ten, $1,718,000; income, $17,481.80; losses §ncurred ‘4,000 Bankers' Life Associa- tion of Des Moines— Policies issued, 58563 Aamount writte ,700,000; income, #2,783.91; losses incurred, $10,000, Hart- ford Life Annuity Compuny—Policies 15- sued, 143; amount written, $316,500; come, $0,312; losses incurred, none. Mutual Reserve Fund Life of New York —-Amount written, $3,518,50 panies comes the Beatrice Bonquet, with the following showing of business trans- ncted and business discontinued during the year 1886. This is the Western Mu- tual Benevolent Association of Beatrice: Number of policies written in 1886, 2,496; number of policies discontinued 1n_same time, 2,228, a net gain in policies of only 208, and this report was made before the Lincoln advisory board gave the concern a black eye and went back on it. Amount written in 1886, $8,259,000; amount dis- continued in the . same time, $7,499,000; income of the company, $56, ; losses fncurred, $27,000; losses paid, $10,276. In these tigures the amounts written and discontinued are unearly equal, which shows just about how much public conlfi- dence ‘the insured have 1n the concern after thoy have been talked into mkin%p chance, and the agent has pocketed his fee and departed. About as many o back on the concern in a year as new ones come in, which insurance men wiil recognize as a, Eren exhibit of public confidence. The losses incurred on deaths for which the innocent parchment holder would expect to receive the cash amounted to $27,000, and yet, according to report, only $10,000 was collected to meet this, and the man who died to beat the game wouid find himself the re. ceiver of only about one-third that his guaranteed policy called for. In the meantime it is well to recognize that the income of the honorable scheme was over $36,000, sufticient, if the guarantee ndvertised was a guarantee at all, to pay the dead pollc;’-hulders in full and then have nearly $30,000 to pay salaries and agents and to bolster up [fthe outfit through pald editorials in papers that.a fow dollars will bus. It is very probable, it the. Lincoin advisory board of this uaranteed insurance company could ave seen these figures at first, the; would have dropped the benevolent frav: without the expense of a trip to Beatrive to pruve the looseness of the firm fromits own books. ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION of the Central Nebraska Loan and Trust company of North Platte, Neb., have been filed with the secretary, the purpose of the company being to transact & gen- eral loan business on real estate security, to purchase and deal in real estate gmi business of like oharacter.

It is generally talked that he has departed for good and that his wife was le5t intention- ally, and the further talk i fiolug the roimds that a domestic from the house- hold of a prominent citizen departed with him, some say for Umaha and others that the destination of the couple is further enstward, Iuis quite evident that if such is the case that an attempt is made to quietly smother the case and keep it from public talk. The regular weekly dance at the Mef ropolitan rink Thursday evening was usual largely attended, but all wus not > peaco and harmony according to reports, as the number of “disturbances vary in count. At one time, when one of the boys objdcted to the too frequent danc- ing ndul in by one of the guests with his girl, o fight ensued that was pre- vented from assuming serious forms by bystanders. Four policemen, one con- stable and a detective were reported pres entat the time, but no arrests were made.

He says: had met Adelina Patti, and wis ed one morning a few years ago to receive a nice little til]ct doux from her asking me_to call on her atthe Palmer house. It was just after one of her most brilliant scasons of opera in New York, and | was not much surprised on being ushered into her presence to have her say that she had sent for me to look at her newest jewels. She had loads of them—lovely diamonds in all kinds of rich and unique settings—which had been presented her by those New York fellows in their desire to be known to her as admirers, The dear little queen of song, she wanted me to appraise them for her! She keeps a regular invoice of all her goods and chattels, it is said, and to her estimated wealth she wished to add these rich gifts. So we sat down at atable and I put a cssh value on each article, with no incident except an oc- casional frown when a stone did not quite come up to her expectations. She offered to pay me for my trouble, but I declined the ‘sordid’’ recompense and asked her to favor me with a song. This she did in a most gracious mauner, seat- ing herself at the grand piano in her apartment and warbling to me in her most charming tones, ‘‘Home, Sweet Home," as I ha never heard it before or simce. The Old and the New. The old-style pills! Who does not know What o:g they caused—-what woe? You walked the floor, you groaned, you !lfhcll. And felt such awful pain inside, And the next day you felt so weak You didn’t want to move or speak. Now Pierca’s ‘‘Pellets” are so mild They are not dreaded by a child. They do their work in painless way, And leave no weakness for next day. Thus proving what is oft confest That gentle means are always best ——————— Calitornia's Wine Hopes. San Francisco Alta: The bouquet of our wines issimply unsurpassed. To get a fair idea of the wine luduslre' of this county yon must understand that it is really only a few years old. Santa Clara county was badly inoculated with the old Mission grape, which continues to be an incubus on the wine industry of the state, and it was only after Napa and Sonoma counties had achieved such an astonish- ing success with choice varieties of for- eign wine grapes that Santa Clara grow- ers daily began to appreciate the possi- bilitics of their own county. Consec- quently they began to progress only after other counties were well on the road to success. At the present time our wine industryis only in its infancy, havin, just reached a stage of development suf- ficient to command respect in the trade. ‘We produce about 1,500,000 gallons now, most of 1t fair wine on an average; but, in less than twenty years, we will pro- duce 10,000,000 f" lons annually of much better wine. In fact, if the foothill lands of Santa Clara county were properly developed, we could easily pro- duce as much wine as the whole siate does now. Only here and there has any attempt been made to reclaim the thou- sands of acres of available foothill land which skirts this valley. It will not be many years before these now bare hill- sides will be dotted with vineyards, There are no finer grape lands in the world, and the location in respect to ship- ping facilities and convenience to win- eries canhot be excelled. —————— To enrich and quicken the circulation of the blood, and to reform the irregular- ities of the system, use Dr. J.

Philadelphia Times: Of the 4,000 women who hold positions in the employ of the government at Washington, ‘only one could be lu%«rlntlvely beautiful, and the honor of being that” one belongs to a eol:‘yht in the navy department.

Although Othe entire capital does not sneeze when she takessnuff, it is asserted that half the clerks in the department spend two-thirds of their time watching her graceful movements, and when she starts toward the elevator there is- a gen- eral rush 1n that direction on the part of chiefs and subordinates, too. She has light hair and dark eyes and her hand is a8 “‘white as the gleam of the beckoning snow.’ To crown such charms it is as- serted that she is utterly unconscious of her own beauty and looks in_perfect as- tonishment at men who intimate she is not commonplace. But it 18 possible that there are no mirrors where she lives? e The revenue coliections yesterday amounted to $3,135.40.
