NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | Dutch Bognton and Dick Landon in a Good Way to Serve Time, IMPLICATED BOTH MEN IN A ROBBERY magiog Testimony Given Against Them at the Prelimioary Hearing A Female Friond Whose Evidence Will Crieo Her Arrest Also. Dutch Boynton and Dick Landon have had & highly variegated careor during several years past, but the variety seems likely to take a vacation and leave them to sweat out two or three years of their heretofore use- less lives in the monotony of making shoes or buggy whips for the great state of lowa at its popular manufactory located at Fort Madison. They were brought before Judge Me(iec at the morning scssion of police court vesterday for a prelimi examination on the charge of robbing a young man named Mulvany on the Crescent City road. Cora Roed, one of the women who composed & pary of the party, wus there und testi- fied in & manner that'she hoped would prove beneficial to her two friends under arrest. She clained that the two men simply com- pelled Mulvany to give her a dollar which he owed her ana that was all there was to the highway robbery. She admitted taking the money, however. Told n Different Story, After the Reed woman had been allowed to criminate herself to nher heart's content Annie Porter, another of the crowd was sud- denly brought in to testify. Hor presence v:as a total surprise to the accused and Lan- don winced perceptibly when sho appeared. She told & very different story from her companion and make it out as clear a case of highway robbery as could have been wished for, implicating the Reed woman in jt ns thoroughly as the two men, by testifymg that part of the money was turned over to her. She claimed that she her- self was innocent of any wrong doing, as she besought her companions not to rob the young man. The efforts of the attorney for the defence to tanglo her in her testi- mony were failur AU the close of the hearing Judge McGee took the case under advisement, but later in the day bound the two defendants over to the grand jury on the charge of highway robbery, fixing their bonds at 00 each. they could not give bonds and went to the county jail. Not Their First Offense. Both of the men have been implicated in innumerable scrapes, but have managed to get out of most of the more serious ones by running off the witnesses before the time of trial. operations of this kind to be repeated and havo put Annie Porter and Mulvany, the principal witnesses, undor_bonds. ‘There is reason for believing that Boynton was one of the principals in the robbery for which one of the Kissell boys is now serving a term in the penitentiary. 3 Cora_Iteed is also likely to share a like fato with her gentlemen friends. Ao in- formation was filed yesterday churging her with highway robbery, and as soon as she has _completed a term’ for vagrancy which she is now serving in the city jail she will be re-arrested und given an eximination. FRIGHT ED AT A COP, bung Ladies Create a Sensntion on Broad- way by Thelr Witd Crl A large portion of the population of West Broadway in the vicinity of Eighth street was aroused and sent fying to its front doors about 9 o'clock last evening by a series of feminine shricks that tore great holes in the still evening atmosphere. A young lady who is attending the teachers' institute and stopping with frienas at_ the corner of Avenue H and Eighth street was walking out with a friend a short time before. As they passed the corner of Bryant street and Broadway they were met by a man who made an insulting remark to them. They hurried away as fast as their feet would carvy them, and when they reached the opera house drug store decided to stop and ask that a police ofticer be sent to accompany them home. Oficer Claar was instructed to see that they got home safely. As he was following them down street he met Deputy Marshal Anderson and Ofticer Murphy, and decided to turn his fair charges over to them. After he had told them what was wanted Weir and Anderson followed the young ladies down the street, overtaking them a short distance from the corver of Eighth street. Weir asked them if they were the ladies who wanted a policeman’s services, and as he did so, pulled back his coat to exhibit his siar. But unfortunately he had a large gun in his inside cont pocket, nad 1t so caught the eyes of the voung ladies that they did not sce the star at all, They at once made up their minds thav Weir was the man whom they had met back at Bryant street, and making up their minds thut they were going to be shot full of hole: immediately for notifying the police they set up a howl that would have swakened an Egyptian mummy, had there been any re- siding on Lower Broadway. They rushed back to where Clanr was standing and Claur, who is a bachelor and rather inclined to be modest, suddenly found two young adics stopping around on his coat collar in the vain endeavor to get out of reach of thewr supposed would-he assassin. Oue of them at last fell into a dead fainy in the officer's arms, and the services of a physician had to be'called in to bring her to consciousness. They were about as near the condition of total paralysis 6s country school teachers often got, and one of them was said ata late hour last night to be very near the vorge of neryous prostration. They were taken to their stopping place on North Iighth street. Owing to the sensitiveness of the young ludies about having any news. paper notoriety, their names are withheld from the publi Resolutions Adopted, At a meeting of the board of directors of the Council Bluffs Young Men's Christian association, held Tuesday evening, & com- mittee was appointed to draft resolutions concorning the denth of the former general sccretary, John C.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE | HOW BONDS QUICKLY MATURE —_— The Methods of the Pefpetual Maturity Bonding Oompany Fully Explained, FACTS AND FIGURES IN ITS FAVOR Interesting Information tigators to Podder Over—Some Nuts for Wouldstie Fiuan« clers to Crack. tor Honest In- The newspaper discussions of the bonding companies that have sprung up recently have atiracted a great deal of interest. “It has been the means of flooding us with iuquiries,” sald Secretary Allen of tho Perpetual Maturity Bonding company of Council Bluffs, the second company that was organized in this country, and the one that gives what certainly appears to be gilt-edged credentisls. “It has set people to investigating, and that is just exactly what we want them to do. If there isan intelligent ma who {s honest, and who will honestly compare our plan with those of any of the building and loan snd life insurance companics and can come tothe conclusion that we are offering to do anything more than they offer their members, then we will admit their ciaim. But this hue and cry is neither honest uor disinterested. It springs from from the strongest motive of self interest. 1t is move than thots it is an attempt at self preservation. These big companies that have hundreds of millions of surplus and are taking millions every year from the west that is never returned; that pay millions annually in salavies aud pensions, reslizo that their sure danger of decadence lies in the growth of popular mutual enterprises, managed at not a thousandeth part of the expense and that confer equal benefits upon members, 1t is perhaps well that this agitation has arisen, for there was a danger that irre- sponsible men would go into the business of organizing bond companies. Tt will only maxke legitimate enterprises the stronger. “You refer to the wrecking of the Iron Hall, one of the oldest and strony,est endow- ment orders, and I am glad you do. Its affairs been in court and before the people for more than a year, and every turn of the investigation has shown that the wrecking of that institution was one of the giaut crimes of the day, & crime com- mitted not against it alone, but against all mutual organizadons in the interest of their big and little enemies. It promised to give, after seven years, $1,000 upon $250 assessments, ageregating less than £300. 'his company made good every promise for over twelve year: paid every matured policy and when it was wrecked lad a surplus on hand of over $1,700,000, while nearly a million more had cen paid on unmatured certificates in the of sick benefits. Thoughtlessness is the parent of many s, one of the most pernicious of which 15 the common practice of condemning ever; thing with which wo'are not familiar, or the principle of which’ we do not compre- hend. It has become common practice to decry in unqualified terms every new project which holds out an inducement to investors that promises even a moderate advance upon established so-called ‘legal’ rates of interest. The injustice of such practice can- not be too strongly denounced in the | existing facts. Surély what has accomplished for hundreds of years in one line of application can reason- ably be conceded as possible in another when one ‘nnd the same princ ple unaertie both. "The life insurance s tem is universaily coticeded to be unques- tionably sound in principle and safe in prac- tice, but yet the investment results daily accomplished under , that system exceed those of any other enterprise on earth, It will no doubt be a gréat surprise to many persons to learn that'ns an Mvestment the life_instrance systein ‘veturns an average profit upon outlay to every deggased policy holder of more than 500 per cedt. The profit derived in individual cqges ranges from one and one-half to more than fifty times the money expended, according to the time the policy has run o illustrate: If $20 be paid asannual yeemium upon $1,000 insurance and the policy matures tvhe first year, fifty times $20 are received in return, a net 'protiy of §080. From 1857 to 1891'the New York Life paid as death losses to claimants $19,346,000 ved from «he matured policies only 6,427,302, giving the policy holder more than &3 for §l received. The Mutual Reserve of New York, from 1851 to 1800 inclusive, 0,836,771 to claimants, and received from the same policy holders only $057.477, giving the policy holders more than §14 for every doliar thoy received. From thirty-six recent weekly statements issued by the Mutual Lite of New York, the company reports £6,079,100 paid for claims, upon which the insured paid ¥2.240814. Tho company therefore paid ck nearly #3 for every $1 received, “The question, *How can they do 1t?' is never thought of now, as spplied to any of our companies today. The living fact ‘pre- sents itself on every hand. They do it, and in addition in their reserve fund by millions of dollars every y But how do they do 1t? Answer: From current pay- ments, interest on treserves and forfeited premiums. Not half the policies issued are carried to maturity. Forfeited premiums go in the largest measure to make the profit returns of those whose policies mature by dcath or otherwise. ‘Now, about lapses. The Insurance Year Book, cortainly good authority, giving this statistics from 18366 to 1802, including all the companies doing business in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, shows that the very lowest per cent of totul lapses for any year in that period was 14 for 1807, and 04 per cent for 1884, while the average total for the whole period was 43.85 per cent, all meaning a total loss by forfeiture of premiums. The older and Stronger & company is the more reasonable it is to look for the greatest per- sistence on the partof its members, henc the smallest lapse rate.
