INSURANCE DE Genernl Stons Hands Very Lmportant Opiiion, The decision of Attorney al with reference to the project of excluding a number of Illinois insurance companies from doing business in this state was briefly re ferred to in the columns of Tue Bee yester- day moruing, but it is of such vital impor ance to all the so-called in surance companies as to render a more plete stat ent of its contents interesting. There is a vrovision in the statutes of lowa eiving the auditor of state power to re fuse certificates to insurance organizations of other states where simily anizations of lowa are refused admission 0 those states. The Southwestern Mutual Life sociation of Marshalltown, the Des Moines Life association, the German American Mut il Life association of Burlinkton, and the owi Mutual Benefit association of Toledo L corporations organized under the laws of Towa. huve been refused admission to Tili nois on account of the statute of that state which prohibits the payment of divi dends to parties carrying insurance a stipuluting that all profits must be used by the company in pay‘og death benefits This aims o blow at the “profit,” “endow ment tontine” and “cash payment schemes, The matter was called to the at tention of Auditor C. G. MeCarthy of this state, and he re 11t to Attorney Gener Stone, with the inquiry whether he shoula his retaliatory power by refusing admit to six assessment_associations of 1ili i3 which are now doing business in this ite. He further called attention to the fict that the Mutual Reserve Fund Li ociation of New York aud the Fide Mutual Life association of Philadelphia, both of which ave organized on the assess nt plan, ave allowed to do business in 1li 10js in spite of the law which is brought to vear on the Towa corporations, thus discrim inuting against lowa and in favor of the otherstates In his decision the attorney general h that the auditor of public accounts of 1llinois hias only been doing his duty in refusing the lowa corporations certificates if their sys tems are adverse to the statutes of that Further, if the insurance company of another state complies with our laws, it is the duty of the auditor to make out the proper cortificate, provided the same right 15 extended by that state in which such cor- poration is organized to similar corporations in lowa. ‘The Illinois statutes refuse author- ity Lo its own corporations and reject tie [owa companies on the same ground. The fuct that companies having the objection able feature are allowed to operate m illi 10is 1s, however, inhis opinion, no reason for uppiying the law of retaliation He thinks that the wholesale exclusion of Ilinois companies from our state would in the end work a great hardship to the people of lowa.

Mayor Bemis caliet the mesting to order, and stated that an adjournment had been taken for the purpose of giving the officers of the company an_opportunity to be present und be heasd, as it was understood that such was their desive. He inquired of Treasurer Millard whether he had anything to say to the conference. rep esident Millard, Were There as Spectators. Millird said he did not understand that any of the bridge company ofcials were present at the meeting for the purpose of saying unything, but rvather to histen to anything that might be said to them, and | near what the meeting proposed to do, | Councilman Howell said that when he suggested that the bridge company offeials be invited to be present, he did so because he believed a d-cent fare would be a very | radical reduction, und as ficures had submitted and statements made the income of the company and the expenses of maintenance, he desived that the ofticials have an opportunity to refute them if they were untrue, Spencer Smith of understood that the meeting was made at the request of Mr Millard, so that the ofcials of the roud wight be heard i the matter.

At the suggestion of Councilman Smi.h of Council Bluffs, and the members of the Com- | mercial club committec, it was deemed best to have the statements made at the former meeting repeated Mr. McCabe of Council Biuffs reiter the statements made at the last meeting re- | garding the amount of capital actually in- | vested in the construction of the bridge and | plant, the expense of operating the same, | and the profits realized. He was followed by Mr. Smith, who also repeated the state ments made by himself at the iuitial meet- ing. Both gentlemen upheld theie former | positious that the motor and brilge com pany coutd operate its line with a becnt fare and obtain a fair dividend upon the actual nvestment. Particular stress was laid upon the importance of closer relations between the two cities, and the fact that rapid tran siv was desired. Bridge OMcials Wisely Iznorant. Judge Wright said he had received an in- vitation to be utand had conveyed it to the directors and they had responded as far as they could be reached. This was the | first time the compuny hud ever had an op. portunity of knowing what was desired of 1t But like good business wen, they do not do their business through and while they reaa they that it wias not a proper source from which to secure nformation. In case the committee desired the company to do anything in the matter, the fizures made should be submitted and the company given an opportunity refute them by presenting figures of their own The three gentlemen preseat did not own the property and were not possessed of the power to determine what fare should be charged. The way to bring about this mat- | ter was to fully advise thecompany of what | was aesired “But if you intend or expe this pur wces newsvapers, believed 't to accomplish ose by law suits and little aid Mr. Weaght, »such as it mated by the gentlemen on the will be doue, we can but say ceed.” Mr. Wright sad thai peeted to bring about what nad said was desired, given as it would be meeting of the directors. that the mittee hands of the directory data for consideration. The company had | never been requested to make any conces sion, and had never been waited upon by any committee resentiug the people of Coun cil Blufts. He stated that the only thing they had ever received, was law suits, which he understood were iustituted to bring the company to its milk Mr. McCabe replied that the gentlemen on the other side were: auistaken us to the exact status of affaivs, He said the gentle- en had gone to Council Biuffs and had been given a richt to conduet; a business, but it was certainly not theirown private business.

He could not see the object n de as the offficers were present and if any of s submitted werc incorrect futed by them without de lay. The treasurer was prescut and he kiew what it cost to operate his road as well as what its receipts were. The com pany could submit its figures the next day and it was unnecessary to wait unti the “ directory met to secure such information. ‘ Mr. McCabe sail that the objection to | submitting the figures to the company was that the people of Council Blufls did not de sire to be placed in the attitude of suppli | cants, askiug the company to reduce its fare, | bridge prope | candor. when they were in duty bound to do so, and should have done 8o without a request, Mr. Wheeler said that it had been sug- gested to him by several citizens that it was not known whether a S.cent fare was de sired by the people of Omal.a, or whether 1t would be of any benefit to the city, and for that reason he desired to have piaced before the city council both the data of the Council Bluffs committee and the bridge company Mr. Howell felt the same way Mr. McCabe said he was willing to submit the figures to the Omaha council and that the company should do the same. Of course if the people of Omaha did not desire the Scent fare that placed a different aspect upon the situation.

Mr. Wright replied that a committe called at one time, but had not ma particular mention of the desire for a fare. Mr. Chris Hartman made a motion that request be forwarded to the company ask- ing that the fare across the bridge be re- duced to 5 cents. The motion prevailed Want to Shift Responsibility, Judge Wright then said that he believed the proper steps to pursue would be for the county of Douglas on one side and the county of Pottawattamie on the other to aquire the 1 then the company would make a providing suitable ar rangements were made with the company to permit it to bring its cars over the briage. He believed that both counties could well afford to take this step, and theu a b-cent tare could easily be secured Guy ¢, Barton arose and that™ in a spivit of fairness and and as this fecling of pub: lic good scemed so generally manifest, why should not the citics of Omaha and Council Bluffs purchase the bridge property and make a free bridge for the people be- tween tlie two cities, The company was prepared to dispose of the bridge in that way, nd certainly a free bridge was always the best. But he was not empowered to say whether the direc tory would make a Heent rate or whether it would not. He did not_know of o bridge between two cities upon this conti- nent, over which trains for the conveyanc of pussengers prssed, where a bcent fare was given, or even a l0-cent fare.

Robert D, Plankett, Who De- clares That on duly 16 an Awful Storm Will Sweep the White City Because of Sunday Oper CHicAGO, T1L, May 11 —~Rev. Robert D. Plunkett from Charlottsvilie, in the Lone r state, who is stopping at the Briggs, says the World's fair buildings are to be utterly destroyed, and as he alone possesses the key to the short-hand remarks on the horizon, no one can say him nay. He said the destruetion would not come unless the gates were opencd on Sunday, but he felt in his bones that it would be done. The time set for the storm is the afternoon of Sunday, July 16, The prophet said: *“T'he coming sum mer will be unusually hot and it will be a season of violent thunderstorms and great winds, Asif to entice a greater number to the faiv grounds the lorenoon of Sunday, July 16, will be beautifui., The cars on the various lines of traftic will be crowded: the tally-hos and the coaches will be bowling along the boule vard: the boats on the lake erowded, too, will be bounding joyously along. “The storm will come upon us from the east and black clouds will begin rushing along the southeastern horizon 1o a cen- tral point. As the rapidly ap: proach the lightning fashes will be almost incessant and the reverberations of thunder, constantly inereasing in sound. will be continual. The kness of u total eclipse will immediately pre cede the fateful burst. Then it will » straight on, a mighty hurricane, no cyelone, no switehings, 1o curves, no deviations, but in a direct blow from the shoulder of Omnipotence. Many will he killed, more injured, but the beantiful White City will be no more ‘But a great lesson will be taught thereby. As the World's fair is a micro cosm of all the world, will this be typical of the final destruction of our planet because of the sins of its people The White City is beautiful, and is an evidence of man's genius, but it also limitations, Tt heautiful, but not grand; there is nothing awe-in- spiring there lik mountain scenery or the Ialls of Niagara. It will be, as it were, a second Babylon, and man will be punished for his presumption,” 5 S WEATHER PFORECASTS, Bo Generally Warmer in Nebrasks Today.

One Ci Was Useful, The domestic eat has often been guoted s one of the readiesy whenee frictional electricity may be derived, but in its latest connection with electrie- ity it pluys an entirely new part, says the rical Review. A building in a Massathusetts ctown had been wired tor electrie lights and it was found neces- ey pass an electric wire from on ide of a room to the other under the floor. This was likely to entail a serions loss of time and e in excavating, but an ingenious ruse got rid of the difliculty. One of the men hit upon the plan of making a hole at each end of the room Then taking a long piece of fine twine he tied it around the body of a live kit ten, which was pluced through one of the holes into the space under the floor By a little coaxing the cat soon found her way to the hole at the other end of the room, wheve the light was shining in. Thus the fine twine was passed through and was attached to a stronger picce, which was in turn drawn thron and n the means of drawing the wire right through the openin, sl souree P n Citeory.
