THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. Nebraska Tnsurance Company Asks for and Gets a Receiver. ALBRIGHT WILL WIND UP ITS AFFAIRS. History of the Concern—What is Known of Its Condition—-Vice President Madden Talks Some, i g? The troubles of the Nebraska fire insur- Ance compaay are at an end, aud from this time on tho receiver, W. G. Albright, will 1ook aftcr what remains of the company. Eight years ago tho institution was born in Council Bluffs, where it was known as the i Towa and Nebraska fire insuranco company. { Two years later it came to Omaha and dropped the Iowa portion of the name. The busincss j transacted consisted in taking risks on farm property and detached dwelliogs in small towns. Business was good, losses far between and ‘ with its capital of $100,000, the Nebraska was though to bo making money. Some six wecks ago the company changed hands, a wealthy gontleman, W. (i, Madden of Dos i Motnes, Ta., taking 304 of the 1,000 shares of onsideration of his heavy pur- the vice president of the ance of tho stock was par- celled 0t among Des Moines, Council Bluffs and Omaha parties, As soon as the new officers wero installod the heads of all the “<4 members of the old oftico force were dumped into the basket and new men filled their places, It was then rumored that the concern was shaky at t but the trouble was bridged over i y alternoon, wh Mr, Madden ap ¥ fors Judge Ir and asked for a receiver. The application was immediately granted and W, G. Albright named for the position, Mr. Madden was seen last night and in speaking of the company said: “I consulted with the other stockholders of the company, and decided to lace everything in the hands of a recoiver.” Upon being pressed for nis reason, ho said : X “Auditor Benton has not gi ¥ deal. On 3 of the company d that 1t had ¢ | plied with all the req ients of the law that it had its $100,000 of sccurities on deposit and was in good condition. Shortly after I bought into the company he o 1rip to Omaha, and upon his return home we were notitled that our sccurities were suflicient, though they had in no wise depro- clated since January. “We paid but little attention to this, A faw days later one of our fri informed us tbat Benton intended making the company troubie. I took no stock in the #aw no way by i A few days a ton's oftice to tal accoun that h for “us, and I at once made spplication and had u receiver appointed.’ Mr. Madden knew nothing about the poli- cles in force, He said: *“Tho liabilities will not exceed §5,000, whilo the assets, inciuding the deposits at Lincoln will foot up to #12),- 000. Theso assets consist of notes, nearly ail 3 of which are due from farmers and wiil be 12 paid after harvest. 1f we had not been forced 3 to the wall, K shape.”” Mr. Madden could not state anything as regards the policies in for He had heard the report that the com had tried to re- insure with the Phenix of Brooklyn. This be denied, stating that there had nover been any thoughts of re-nsuring. He also denied having bad any trouoie with the stockholders or the former officials of the company. His money he put into the concern, regarding it a good investment if he could have had a square deal. Mr. Albright, the receiver of the defunct company said: ‘I have not had time to in- vestigate und consequently cannot say a thing that will be of interest. I have no idea of the amount of insarance carried by the company, but I shall at once go to work upon the books and in a few days hope to get them In shape to make a statement. “The company will go out of business and Whatever can be got out of the concern will be paid over to the creditors. There are a lot of notes that ave due, and when collected the money will be divided. Those parties who have insured and paid their money will have to look elsewhere for protection. ‘“The prospects tor the compauy being put upon its icet again are very siim, as I now see no way by which it cui be ascomplished. 1 shall go to work and close up the business . Just as soon as possible," Mr. Albright knew nothing regarding the acts that induced the company to quit busi- ness. we could have come out in good Lo lomad b, Not many physicians make great therapeu- tic discoveries,” For the most part they con- finethemselves with administering judiciously what is vrescribed in the books.

Cushman is also an attorney and has lived for somo time at Bassett, where he practice1 law, did some newspaper work and seewoed to be an all round rustler. When he was searched at the jail several letters addressed to Rev. H. o.

Mayor Boyden of Grand Island was In Omaba Wednesday to see President Harrison and to attend a meeting of the state examin- g board of pharmacists, He will take in the sights of Omaha today. Speaking lust night with Tie Bre about the beet sugar industry at Grand Island Mr. Boyden said: “T'he farmers who planted and raised boots last summer were disappointed 1o some extent because they did not make so much out of tho crop as they had been led to believe they would make. They faled to make allowance for the dry season and seemed to think that the beet crop should realize as much for them as a good corn crop would have brought them. Thay thought, too, that the beets ought to have been bought tops and all, and when Mr. Oxnard required the tops to bo cut off and the beots to be reasonably froe from soil before being weighed the farmers felt that they were not being fairly treated; so thoy orgauized o sort, of strike agaiust the beet sugar factory this spring and refused to plant beets. But the Grand Istand improvo- ment company came to the rescue and em- ployed men to plaut beets and contracted with others until now they have about four thousand acres planted and doing well. Those who formed a sort of combination against the beet sugar factory were largely the German farmers,but several euterprising farmers. Americans, have taken hold and if the season continues favorable, they will undoubtedly do well, for Mr. Oxnard biss ugreed to pay as much for beots as he paid last year, and probably more."" — - DeWitt's Little Early Risers.

State Treasuror Hill says? “I do not imagine itwvas an intended slight. It was just one of those accidents that are liable to happen in the management of a big enterprise. With party from Lincoln were a number of gentlemen who were not expected. They reabled tho carriages first and that crowded usout. We had been in- vited by the ‘rmmn to accompany him on his train, and we stoad, on_our dignity, per- haps. in not helping_ourselves o seats in the carriages. Somo of the boys were a little chagrined ut first, but on reflection we could see that it was not the fault of the commit- teo. 1t was simply the accident of circum- stances.” Tho other state ofticers expressed similar sentiments, and &1l wero earnest in protest- ing that they harbored no resentment, STATE HOUSE NOTES.

Lixcory, Neb., May 14.—[Special to Tur Bee.|—Soveral appointments are awaiting the governor's action, and there are many eager, expoctant questions about them, but the president’s visit has arvested the official guillotine for two days. Governor Thayer arrived from Omaha at noon and his aftor- noon has been taken up by callers and the consideration of his correspondence. The number of his callers has largely increased in anticipation of fa- vors to come, and it 18 notable that the patriots who are willing to serve the state as commissioners to the worid's fair - at # per day—are so numerous and persist- ent as to make life sometbing of a burden, The law providing for commissioners does not go into effect until July 4, aud the voy- ernor has ten days after that in which to make his appointments, Ho has announced his intention not to select the commissioners until the latter part of June or the first of July, He has suggested to some of the applicants who persist in consuming his time by long verbal state- ments of their claims that they had better defer their talk until next month, when these appointments will be under conside tion and the presentation of claims will not have been forgotten. The law provides for two commissioners, to be appointed from each congressional district, which has been interpreted as meaning six in all. They will be allowed &5 per day for each day actually in service, and necessary oxpenses, Some inquiries are beiug made about ap- pointments to the governor's staff.

At the last national convention of | °f KSugene Diciinson. labor commissioners it was recommended that all the states this year begin an nvesti- @ation of child labor. Mr. Andres actea on that suggestion and visited Omaha, West Lincoln, Fremont and Nebraska City ' to lay the foundation for making a study of the wuumber and conditions of the children under sixteen who are employed 10 factories and mercan- tile 1nstitutions. The Nebraska bureau began a similar investigation two years ago, but it was incidental to more” important work, but was abandoned pecause of difficul- ties encountered. The employers of chilfiren are very reluctant to give the desired infor- mation. The law authorizes the bureau to compel testimony, but there is no fund for the expenses of such a proceeding. It is be- lioved, however, that persistent quizzing and personal wvestigation will bring the desired information ane this matter of child labor will probably be the special work of the bu- reau this term, TWO MILLION FISH TO GIVE AWAY, Fish Commissioner Lew May of Fremont was at the state house this morning to get his pearings on the Alllnmllriutlnll of the late leg- islature. He deplored the reduction which cut it $3,000 or $4,000 to $12,400, because it will compel the abandonment of contemplated improvements at the state hatchery at South Bend. Speaking of the work of the comnmis- n, Mr. May said : We are’ now ready to distribute 2,000,000 “wall-eyed pike frey. Do we count them: ‘Well, yes, in a way. We weign an _ounce of the eggs and then count them. It is then an easy matter to ap- proximato the whole number of eggs, and some times we measure a small quantity ana £t at the number in that way. If anybody disputes our figures we will give him permis- sion to court the fish. These pike eggs came from Lake Huron. In the soring, when the fomales are ripe, wo make an arrangement with the fishermen ou the lakes to strip the fish of their eggs. Very often they are glad to bave us do it, as it is realy a help to them in preparing their catch for market, so that our supply doesu’t cost us very much. We then fostilise the ozgs with the milt of the male gike and put them in jars to be hatched. The ' fry, are shipped in cans. These pike are about the only fish we will bave for distribution until next fall, wheu we will have a supply of bass, carpand native stock. We will construct four new ponds at South Bend, and our car will un- kergo some change e Al DeWitt's Little Early Risors; only pill to cure sick headache and regulato the bowels . Denver's Big Dam. Dexver, Colo., May 14.—The committee recently appointed by the mayor and the board of public works on behalf of the city to examine and report upon the condition of the Castlewood dan, about which so much has been recently said in the press of the cast, has submitted its formal report. It makes some unimportant recommendations, which simply confirm the Vlmls of the Den- ver water storage company’s eugineers, The company will proceed with their work and complete the dam as originally intended. This Castlewood dam is the pioneer water storage enterprise of Colorado, and its suc- cessful completion will mean millions of dol- lars added to the revenues of the state. The revort, through some étuse, seems to be un- friendly to the workbut does ot pretend 1o say the city of Deaver is in any way endan- gered. Sensational stortes aroused some anxiety, which this report, oxtremely con- servative throughout,will serve to completely allay. Mr. Alfred P Boller, the eminent civil ongineer of New York city, will au{mr vise the work of the company, which will be the fullest zuarantee that it will ba conscien- tiously and scientificilly performed. —_————— No griping, no nauses,uo pain when §De Witt's Little Early Risors are taken, Small pill.
