Dowestic wrp:utlusu cheap s0ap - THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, AUGUST NEWS FRON COUSGIL BLUFES Inspeotor Bennett Arranging for an Inspeo- tion of Insarance Risks. INSURANCE RATES WILL BE INCREASED Conditions Under Which an Advance Will By Made—The Lutest Order Issued by the Inspector—Of Importance to Business Men. H. Bennott, inspector of the western Towa insurance companios, 18sued a proclamation about ten days ago grdering a raise of 20 per cent in rates of fire insurance throughout. the district of which he has charge. Consider- able talk was caused among the business men, s it was a topic in which they were all vitally interostod. Mr. Bennett accom- panied his communication with a lisy of figures which went to show that all the fire insurance companies in the country had been doing business at an average loss 0f 2 per cent & year, the premiums being en - tirely used up by tho losses and expenses of running the business. The companies were ouly enabled to pay dividends to the stock- holders from the interest on the investments in which the assets were put. Yesterday he issued anothar order sus- pending the previous order making tho hori- zontal advance of 20 per cent, but the order states explicitly that this action is not to be construed as an abandonment of the iut en- tion to changoe the rates soas to make the underwriting branch of tho insurance busi- ness self-sustaining. Tho following is the substance of the new order: Text of the New Order, Allmereantile and manufacturing risks in this district will by ted as fast as practicable angl eacl ris! 1 on its merits or demerits in accordance with approved and discriminating schedules; tho extra charge: for urew, hoight, ‘condition, hazdrds wid cs posures iy, In somo cases, increase tho rates 50 per cent.

Serlous Defect Alleged to Havas Beon Dis- covered in the 3-cent Fare Ordinancé. A question has been raised in connection with theracently passed 3-cent fape ordinance which s of some interest to the generel public. ‘The ordinance was draswn up in the law offico of Messrs. Harl & McCabe, and without being submitted to the city attorney for his opinion was hustled through the council on the evening of its presenta- tion under a_suppension of rules. Since its pussage it has been discovered that there was no clause at the end,ns in most ordinances, specifying that “all ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed.” The questions thut are now agitating the minds of some are: Is not this ordinance in conflict with tho old ordinance which geented the company the \t to charge b-cents in the city?! And if 80, is the ordinance just passed worth the paper it is written on? Mayor Lawrence, when the matter wi called to his attention yesterday morning by a Bee roporter, was considerably surprised Hc had not noticed the defect, but as he d attached his ofieial signatire to the or- dinance bat a few minutes before and the or- dinance was thon on its way to the printing oflice to be published according to law, there was nothing for him to do. Mr. McCabe, the lawyer who drew up the ordinance, was very naturally loth to admit that he had made any break in the matter, and spent a good share of the morning in jeering softly to himsclf about the “states- man” who had made the discovery. ity Attornoy Hazelton was asked for his opinion of the validity of the ordinance, but was unwilling to be quoted, on the ground that courtesy forbade his critivising the work of anotfier lawyer, who had done the things which were supposed to huve been his duty “Ihe fecling 18 quite general that whether tho omission of the repealing clause invali- dates the ordinance or not, no hurm can be done by remedying tho defoct bofore the matter is brought into the courts. The motor company has repeatedly shown its readiness to use every technicality, no mat- ter how trivial, as a means of eluding the provisions of its charter and the ordinances wiiich have been passed for its government, and thero is but little doubt that this point will be raised as an objection to the legality of the ordinance. The ordinance making a 8-cont fare tho limit had its first publication yesterday, and is now consoquently as much of a law'as it ever will be. It is customary, however, to wait before enforcing any law until 1t has been published three times. By custoin, therefore, the law will not go into effect until Monday evening. It is stated that there are several persons in the eity prepar- ing to jump over one another’s necks in the endeavor to be the victim of the case which will no doubt be brought to tust the new lay. Clear Cuse Aguinst Baxter. Baxter, allas Webb, had his prelimi examination yesterday before Justico Fiold on the charge -of boing connected with the diamond robRery at John Metealf's house on the Crescent City roaaa little less than three yearsago. Baxterhas had a oheckered career ever since the crime was committed, having spent at least a year of the time in the lowa pevitentiary and no ono but himself knows how wuch of the remainder bars. has been en- joyed behind prison When he was arrested in Lincoln al weeks ago he had a complete set of safeblowers' tools in his possession, and there was some reason for believing that he had been implicated in the robbery of & larke uumber of postoMces in low Yesterday's hearing seemed to have pretty definitely sottlad the fact that he will ve another chance to got ac quainted with the ofticials at the Fort Madi son penitentiary “The most interesting testimony of the day was that of Jobu Steilen, who used to 1 on the shore of the river near a road which leads airectly across the country from Met- calf’s house. On the night of the robbery he had & visi® from three men, who asked him to tako them across the river in his boat. He rowed them across and identified vne of them as Baxter, whom he had seen before. The other two were druunk and somewnal indiscreot us to their remarks. On their way across they joked Baxter about an experience that he had had earlier in tho evening and Steilen remembers that they referred to some woman pulling a veil off his faco. This story dovetails with that of Mrs. Meteall, who testified that she pulled the mask off the faceof one of the robbers, whom she identified as Baxter, and makes out a very strong case against Bax- ter, whose previous record will not help him much. There is considerable doubt as to the stolen diamonds being worth &700, as Mrs, Metealf claimed, or any oconsiderablo fraction of that sum, but for the purposes of the trial that amount is both convenient and interesting. The arguments of the attorney are not yet complete, and a contintinnce wi taken at the hour of ovening adjournment until this morning. ENORMOUS SACRIFICES At the Boston Store, Town.

ROCK ISLAND AND BURLINGTON QUARREL Meeting to Be Held Todny In Chloago to Discuss the Situation in the Westorn Passenger Associa- tion—How It Looks. [FROM YESTERDAY'S SECOND BDITION. | Ciicaco, Aug. 11.—[Spacial Telegram to Tue Ber.]<While the eastern roads have completely ignored the demands of the public for lower rates to the World's fair the indi- cations are that the western lines will soon make rates that will bring the masses to the fair. It is not the pressure of public opinion, however, that moves the western roads to lower their rates. But they have got into a wrangle among themselves, and this is a more powerful lever to force rates down than public opinion. The following telegram sent today by Chairman Calawell of the Western Passenger association to General Passeneer Agent Francis of the B, & M. expla the trouble. *“The Rock Island has made a request on the chairman for authority to use in the state of Nebraska and other territory in which distribution has been made of an- vertisements hereinafter quoted on the basis of a f rate or one standard regular fare for the round trip to Chicago and re- turn, as against the inequality in which that company has been placed by the large voster advertisement of the Burlington Toute, reading as follows: ‘Burliugton route. Rates cut in two, Half rates to the World fair now in effect; tickets good thirty day First-class in overy particular. Go early to avoid the rush. "Apply to nearest ticket agent, Burlington route, for full information. J.

RAISED THE BOYCOTT. Mobile & Ohio Again In Good Favor—A Western Passenger Division, Cmicaco, Aug. 11.—The boycott against the Mobile & Ohio was declared off today. It was ordered into effect because that road cut rates from Mobile to Chicago, using the Jucksonville Southeastern from St. Louis. A decision was handed down by the chair- man of the Western Passenger association today, declaring that the rate inscrted by the Omaha road in the St. Paul World's fuir special rate shoet must stand though it was irregularly inserted. The rate in question 18 one of #19.80 from St. Paul to St. Louis via Council Bluffs. Since its insertion the rule has been adopted by the association that all rates published in the joint rate sheets should be agreed rates, thus legal- izing the Omaha road rates. Eastern roads are extremely anxious that it should be clearly and universally unaer- stood that the action of their members yes- terday in regard to the World's fair rates and arrangements is final It is not subject 10 reconsideration or possible change. Evans Wanis a Receiver. DENVER, Aug. 11.—Late this evening John Evans filed suit in the district court of Arapahoo connty for a receiver for the Union Pacific, Denver, Texas & Gulf railroad. This is & consolidation of numerous branch roads wade three years ago. and includes the Denver, Texas & Fort Worth, The line is 1.600 miles in length, reaching from northern Wyoming to the Gulf. Mr. Evans has a 2500,000 interest in the consolidation, and when the contract was made it was agreed that the Union Pacific would subserve the interests of all the roads. It is claimea in the complaint that this has been disregarded and that the Union Pacific has used the branches as mere feeder: —— A WORLD-BEATER. The Amerioan Girl as She Appears Amld the Breakers of rAgRnsett, It is at 11 o'clock in the morning when the beauty of Narragansett pier is outin its bravest array, for the long stretch of beach and the line of foaming breakers is alive with bathers, says a writer in the Boston Globe. And the bathing suits! there ever such a sight! conditions of them dainty French creation of the piquant actress on advertising bent to the long- pantalooned affair of the Boston girl. All of the colors of the rainbow are worn, and all sorts of fabrics are seen in the makeup of these fascinating sea suits, Some of silk are eleyrant affairs, and there are some of satin and brocade that are fine enough to grace a ballroom if only lengthened a good bit. The most popular matevial of all, how- ever, is alpaca or brilliantine, It sheds the water readily, does not cling im- modestly, and, hetter still, doos not fade. Miss Winnie Davis’ suit is of alpaca, and is most becoming to its very pretty young wearer. It is of navy blue trimmed simply with white braid. One of the most beautiful women in the surf is Miss Marie Sterling of Balti- more, whose far-famed red-gold hair shines out magnificently in the sunshine, She dresses in whita—pearl white—and her flesh gleams out beautifully in con- trast with its ereamy tints, The suit is made of alpaca and has knee brecches and a short plaited skirt. The sleev are mere poufls in baby fashion and the throat is cut asay in & point and has a sailor eollar and white silk ti Anothoer naiad who is much admired both in and out of the breakers is Miss Sterrett of Paterson, N, J. She always has a swarm of gallants about her, for she is really a beauty and aeserves her belleship. "She is suid to be the most faultlessly formed girl at the pier, and she swims like a duck. She wears a perfectly fitting bathing suit of dark Lln which is the essence of modesty. There is one slender, stylish girl, who has worn several different saits du my stay here.

The full vost was cut low and finished across the top with a band of jet. The sleeves were large puffs with bands of jet about the arm, and the corselet was also of jet. Electric blue stockings were worn and on one leg, just below the knee, was a jet garter. The girl had black hair and wonderfully blue eyes, set deep under long black lashes. There was a remark- able expressionabout them, a httle trick of looking out at one side at you with a sweeping glance from under the splendid lashes. Her skin was white and fine and there was a sweet tinge of rose in her cheeks. The elect blue of her suit, set off by the sparkling jet, was a revelation, T assure you, and there was a oud deal of staring at her as she sprang out of the water in a state of wet lov liness.

The small serap of humanity is a bit afraid and it is a pretty sight to see her coax him in with her and then to have him cling to her with his baby hands. She ctively, and is very attrac- tive both in form™ and feature. She is slim and graceful,and her arms are white and beautiful: thoy show off well, too, when they are next to her baby’s pink flesh, and ho has a way of grasping hold o1 their soft, rounded loveliness that is simply delicious to see. All the men here are wild over her, but she seems only to think of the small son who d mands 50 much of her attention, Her suit is a pale sea green, spotted with bluck and trimmed with rows of narrow bluck braid. It iscut low and has short puffed sleeves, and the skirt is plaited in full plaits thatset out jauntily from the hips. Her hair is & fair gold, and she does it up into a dear little knot on th own of hor beautiful head, and there are a lot of sweet little curls at the nape of her s0ft neck.

The bodice fitted at the back und had a full vest cut rather low and finished by a plaid band al the top. The revers spread away in deep joints, tapering to the belt, and a sailor- ike collar crossed the back, The sleoves were pouffs, and the bolt was straight and formed of plaid, " It was a gay costume and the stockings worn were an_effective feature, being black and scarlot stripes.
