CATHERINE HERBERT'S MRS, FORTUNE After m Separation of Many Years from Her Husband, she Comes Forward and ime n Share of Tt—An Interesting Cn A suit was commenced in the district court yesterday in which the ownership of about £20,000 worth of property 18 involved, aud the circumstances which gave rise to the litigation preseat o good many facts of interest. George Horbert, a residont of Montana, is the plaintiff, and some trouble vetween himself and wife, who dicd in 1885, i atthe bottom of the present difficulty. Mrs. Catherine Horbert lived in Council Bluffs for o great many years and was proprietress of the St. Louis hotel, located at the corner of Main strect and Ninth avenue. She made considerable money out of her hotel business and invested it as fast as she made it n city rose in value. property, which steadil In 1885 she died and the property all went to hor children. She had not lived with her busband for more than twenty years before her death, and many of her most intimate friends did not even know that she had such a commodity in her possession. After her death the children disposed of almost all of the property to John Lindt, who in turn dis- posed of a part of it to his wife and the rest to other parties. It was supposed that she was divorced from her husband, and right here is oue of the peculiarities of the case. Peoullar Fentures of the Case. Farly in the 80's sho filed a petition in the dgistrict court asking for a divorce. It ran along for about a year, and finally the court record has an account of its dismissal. There is nothing further on the records in the mat- ter until in March, 1884, when suddenly there is therecord of adecree of divorce in the o of Catherine Herbertagainst George Herby which had been dismissed more than a year before. The decrce is written on about a quarter of a page, which had ap- parcutly been left between two other de- crees, and the difference in handwriting and the color of the ink between it and the two on either side of it seem to throw some doubt uvon its genuineness. Herbert is now making an effort to recover his dower interest of one-third of the prop- erty, and filed several petitiovs in court in which he mukes S.J. Lindt, J. W. Squire, Henry Coffeen, Clay & Forrest, Slack Peter- son and Johanunette and John Linder defend- ants. He claims that he was never served with any notice of the pendency of the divoree suit, thatthere was never any petition filed, and that the decreo of the court, upon which the defendants base their claim to the property, void, the court not having any jurisdiction in the matter until the suit had been vroperly instituted. Claim of The children who deeded the property to Lindt also claim that they were induced in one way or another to part with their inter- estin their mother's property for a price far below its actual value. Their portion. how- ever, is gone beyond recall, for they deeded it away of their own accord. The property involved in the suits is scat- tered about in ali parts of the city and some of 1t has become quite valuable during the years that have intervencd since it went into the hands of its present owners. he Children. DID HE KILL HIS MISTRE: Charles Jones, n Saloon Keeper, Charged with the Murder o Batlo Belle McMillan, who commonly goes by the name of Belle Cross, was shot at Lo'clock this morning in the Pha saloon, 803 South Main street, Council BluTs, She has been oneof the inmates of “Tae Ark” on Pierce street for the pastsix months, and for several years has been the mistress of Charles Jones, proprietor of the Phanix. The woman and Joues were alone in the saloon after midnight. Suadenly there was a yell from Jones gnd the boys in the engine house next door heard pounding on the door? On going down Jones told them the woman had shot herself. She was found lying in ide the salooa dead with a ballet holo in the right breast. 1L was supposed at first to be u case of suicide, but several su ous cir- cumstances led the police to make an in- vestigation, which resulted in the arrest of Jones on the charge of niurder. A postmortem, held this morning, showed that the bullet 1 passed through the heart in a downward direction, lodging near the surface just below the left should er blade. Medical authorities claim the woman would not naturally have held the gun in a position it must have been held in order for the bullet to take thut course. Powder marks on the woman's right hana led to the belief that Jones held the revolver and that she tried to seize it just as he fired at her. When the firemen arrived at the scene, Jjust after the shooting, Jones had the re- volver in his possession and had taken it apart. He explained it by saying that he was afraid Belle would shoot him after shooting hersclf, and took it to pieces so that she might not kill him, FULL TO TH DOOKS, Boston Store Receiv g % the Gooas Council Biuis, “What do you think of this for a ship- ment of dry goods?” was the question that greeted tho ears of a BEE man as he passed the front doors of the Boston store Friday afternoon, Messrs.

For some days he had been i1l with malarial fever, and it is ve- lieved that this trouble had the effect, as it some times does, of undermining his reason. He slopt with a small boy who worked on the farm. Early in the evening he got up and went down stairs to the corn crib,where he prepared the rope in one cornor of the crib. He then returned to bed, but during the night he went down agan and finished the job by putting his neck within the noose and throwing himself down from a crevice in the sideof the crib. He was found by Mr. Saar early yesterday morning. His neck was not broken by the fall, and he had stranglod to death.

The fight will be pre- cipitated upon Senator Gallinger's reso- lution inquiring of the commissioner of pensions whether he has conformed to the law in dropping a large number of pensioners from the rolls without a hearing. Theve are a great many men in the senate, possibly two-thirds of that body, who believe that there is no war- rant in law or practice which will jus- tify the commissioner of pensions or the secretary of the interior in dropping pensionérs from the roll upon suspicion that the soldiers ave not entitled to the pensions they were receiving. The extraordin; number of pen- sioners who have been dropped from the rolls recently has attracted the atten- tion of friends of pensioners in congress, and it is expected that the question will come before the house as soon as that body disposes of the silver problem. There will be some very shavp partisan utterances when the question comes un- debate. It is said that an effort will be made to adopt a joint resolation providing that the pensioners shall not be dropped from the rolls nntil it has n proved that they arve unlawfully drawing pensions, and that they cannot be taken from the rolls pending an in- vestigation into the merits of their cases. Senator Palmer, as chairman of the committee on pensions, is bearing the brunt of the complaints of pen sioners who have been suspended. They are sending to him to have their cases cov- ered by special acts of congress, He has alveady received several hundred such applications. e 1F CARTER H. WER S PRESIDENT. Row Chicago's Mayor Would *Restore Con- fidence In Thirty Days or Les CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—*If T were presi- dent I should restore confidence in thirty days or less,” said Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chicago, when asked to ex- press an opinion on the present financial depression, *tow would you do it?” “I would put the 143,000,000 of silver dollars now lying useles in the treasury vaults in circulation, What is the trouble now? Scarcity of currency, and yet the government keeps on issuing treasury notes that can be locked up in sufoty deposit vaults by timid people, I would not issue single notes, but I would pay all national debts in silver and in that way bring the stringency to # sudden termination. Do you know that at this moment there is #50,000,000 in gold and bank notes deposited in the safety deposit vaults of Chicago? Take that money out and put it in circulation and in a week the stringency would be gone, “'Silver cannot be hoarded; itis too bulky, Gold and notes can, and if $143,000,000 were turned into the ‘mar- kets money would soon be plentiful. They talk of silver being an undesirable money, yet who will refuse to take silver dollars? Let the national government pay all its debts in the silver now stored away. A man who received ‘coin-wheel’ would not put them in the vaults, nor would he lug them around on his per- son. He would pay his debts and bank the rest. The banker, having currency, would accommodate his customers, and then the wheels of commerce would re- volve again.” — Meacham Gang in Mississippl.

In the begiuning of the era of provident in- dividuality, life insurance had to withstand thetireless and vindictive assaults of en- emies fromall sides. Churches thundered erathamics against it, and cursed the sav- ings it provided for widows and orphans as +'blood woney,” and people who accepted its benefits did so with_the loss of caste and popular respect. But life insurance b came an established fact and princ vle. Improvements followed, cheapening the cost of its benefits, in the shape of mutual and assessment companies and the same old line of enemies were ar rayed against them, led this time by the lifs companies themselves, who had scarcely emerged from their own travals. Mutual and assessment companies in turn became more liberal in ch cter, and the earlier companies joined in the hue and cry against them. And thus it has been down to the establishment of tontine bond companies, and the whole crowd of prior organizations, founded upon exactly the same principles, that had come up to their present state through the sorest tribulations, joined in the crusade against them, and at the pres- ent time we are treated to misrepresentation in the newspapers, and attacks from every source where un enemy can find enlodgment. The stupendous rapidity with which the principle sprung into popular favor, the fact that it gave the same benefits at a cost that was ridiculously disproportionate to the sums exacted by the old-line system, forced all these organizations through the necessity of self-preservation, Lo assume an aggressive front. They reasoned that if these new systems were pormitted to stand the day of doom had come for their own high-priced protection. This is the true solution of the present intensely bitter persecution. It is not in the interest of the deur people whom they are trying to protect, but wholly in the interest of the dear com: panies and systems, which they are trywng to save. Take the following statistics from the insurance year book, giving for a period of twenty-six years the average cost of carry- ing $1,000 life insurance per year Equitable Life New York Lifs Mutual Life. OrtnWesteri State Mutua) BOTKENIroInfe v e The cost to the companies for maturing this by the payment of all death losses and indemmties, ranges from 8 to §20 per $1,000; the expenses, the payment of uill salaries and operating cosis, average from 87 to $20, leaving an unaccounted-for balance of more than 235 per $1,000 per year, which has been unnccessarily = exacted from the policy holder. Now take pight in this connection some more interesting statistical facts from the same unquestioned authority, the year book, which is the sworn statements of the companies to the guditors of states: All the companies doing business in New York, Pennsylvania and . Massachusetts, wrote from to 1891, 5,288,127 policies, which were received by the insured and paid on Of that amount there was lapsed and ev dotlar paid forfeited to the companies the enormous sum of 2,316,743 policies. These forfeitures poured into the coffers of these compznies in these three states the stupendous sum _of two billion, nine Jundred —and - eighteen million, fifty-three housand, five hundred and fifty-scven dsl- lars more than the complete cost of the rebellion, more than the nationdl debt has ever been. In addition to this incomprehensible sum there was forfeited of the same policies by sur- render and acceptance of partially paid up insurance nearly #2,000,000,000 more. or in actual figures, #1,781,043.248. " And this only in three states of the union. 1Is it any won- der that these companies are fighting a sys- tem that threatens to become so popular? Is it any wonder they can pay £0,000 a year salurics to 2,500 men and then pension them when they are out of office at 85,000 a year for life? Ts it any wonder they wrecked the Iron Hall and scores of other kindred organ- izations, and are trying to wreck other sys- tems that would have paid every obligation of the companies in the three states named at less than 500 per cent of the cost? The lapses are chief sources of profit in all these companics. The figures given above show that 43.85 per cent of all these policies lapsed. The statistical history of later years show that no one half of the policies taken out are carried to maturity. and it is with knowledge of these facts tl bond company steps in and by using the law af averages finds that it can guarantee pay ment of £1,000 at a total outlay to holder of less than £300. And this is even less than what the old line sompanics promise to do, From 1887 to 1801 the New York life paid §19,346,060 of claims that had paid icto it but 86,427,802, giving the pol! holders &3 for every § paid, 1Inthe Fidelity of Phila- delphia, Tfrom 1879 to 1801, its claimants’ were given 812 for every & they paid to the company. The ~Mutual Reserve of New York, for ten ears the amount given was §14 to $1. In indi ual cases this runs up from 800 to 500 per cent. This is not an earned profit in any sense, but it is the result of the application of a given principle. For example, you pay #2 for a fire insurance policy of $1,000 on your goods; they burn, and you veceive £1,000 for the §2 paid. Your payment did not earn that for you but it secured it to you by the operation of the law of averages, as individually applied through the principle of co-operation. ‘I'ne Equitable Invi estment company of Council Bluffs has been singled out as the especial mark of wrath. It is founded upon precisely the samo principle as all insurance companies and all co-operative organizations, ouly it does not promise to do as much for 18 members as the old line companics, the difference being that it accomplishes what it promises at about 500 per cent less cost 1t has no #0.000 sulavies topay und pensions nebody.

This after- noon the meeting was addressed by Emma Goldsmith, the wife of Bergman, the man who tried to kill Henry C. Frick of Pitt ourg. Her speech was of a highly inflamm tory character. She told the men if they wanted bread to go and get it, meaning the should loot bukeries, or whatever they wanted to _oot. A comunttee was appointed to arrange for a parade of workinzmen throughout ti work quarters of the city. Auother com- mittee was appointed to procure bread for the idle men.

The hungry men kept three bar- tenders in Iden Rule hall busy, and the bartenders in the othier hall had all they could do. Emma Goldsmith aistributed peaches to the men in Golden Rule hall. One wild look- ing man spoke in part as follows at the Allen street hall: “Remember Chicag where they hanged men. Why? Because they were hungry. Yesterday the dirt police arrested men, Why? Because the were hungry. Becalm. If you attempt to get what you want the police will come und turn the hose on you. A shudder went through the hall. The bartenders meanwhile raked in the nickels. “‘Do not fly the next time,” said an excitel Pole. “When the police come resist with all your might.” There was no trouble during the afternoon, and none is expected, The unemployed Hebrews will hold meetings tomorrow. —_————— YORK POPULISTS.
