THE OMAHA DAILY B 26, 1902. TAKE ISSUE WITH ANDREWS Red Ribbon Olub Wronght Up Over Recent Address by Ohanoellor. WILDCAT INSURANCE COMPANIES BUSY Beveral Changes Annownced in the Management of the Burlington Shops at Haveloek and Elsewhere. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 25.—(Speclal.)—The fegular Sunday afternoon meeting of the Red Ribbon club of this city, a temperance organization, was enlivened yesterday by a vigorous discussion regarding remarks re- ported to have been made by Chancellor Andrews in the course of an address at the Chicago university on the subject of the social evil. 8. D. Fitchle read an excerpt from the Chicago Voice, purporting to be a part of a verbatlm report of one of tho chancellor's speeches. The reading brought out & storm of indignation and a few mem- bers advocated the immediate passag: of resolutions of condemnation. The more con- servative element prevailed, however, and & committes was appointed to inv:stigate the authenticity of the report. This com- mittee conalsts of 8. D. Fitchle, G. C. Smail and Miss Hanna D. Ward. The excerpt read by Mr. Fitchie follows: In Parls the soclal vice is regulated by the government, which requires that all objectionable women be brought before an clal board. They are passed upon by this hoaid as to their physical soundness Women not h e imprisoned, Tho g down certain laws in Paris It is that the evil of the social made less than it s in cities and countries where this regulation system does not_prevall. Of course people make a loud objection that this method of government regulation implies recognition and a kind of legal sanction. They say that it raises this wicked world to the level of a legitimate fession and tends to make it a kind of onorable occupation, The people who have rame aws no intention _of legalizin soclal vice, and 1 am sure that they do not do It. "They see that they can palfiate the evil in this manner. plete eradication of t The com- requi soclal vice evil wiil equire years and years of economically and morall; time comes we shall be ol atives. To a large extent the state obligation to grotm.‘l the innocent. can be done by nuflr:s.ll'l regulating vice and appointing boa: which shall sce that lations are enforced. This legal regulation of the traffic does not ralse it to the level of an industry. Wildeat Insurance Companies. Deputy Imsurance Auditor Babcock says there are upwards of a dozen wildcat in- surance companies operating In Nebraska. ‘They have no legal authority to write in- surance in the state and it is doubtful ‘whether any court in Nebraska would as- sume jurisdiotion of a case brought to col- lect & loss from any one of them. “The Insurer has no legal protection ‘whatever if the unauthorized company op- poses collection, declared Mr. Babcock this afternoon. '‘An agent who lssues a poliey without having first been authorized n o weni, of Insurauce is . for criminal . prosecution, ‘but the courts have held that there is no recourse for the man who has a loss which the un- authorized company declines to pay. “I find that these wildcat companies will go into some out-of-the-way community and employ energetic young men who are not familiar with the law to sollcit Insur- ance for them. Very often the men so em- ployed will discover that they are em- ployed by a fraudulent concern and if they resign it would hardly do to prosecute thembe 0 ; Changes on the Burlingtom. Several appointments and promotions of note in the mechanical department of the Burlington railroad were announced by Su- perintendent of Motive Power Smith to- day. The prineipal one is the elevation of Plecework Inspector M. F. Ackermann to the position of master mechanfc at the Havelock shops. Mr. Ackermann takes the place of A. B. Pirle, who has been trans- ferred to Wymore. Charles 8. Bricker will succeed Mr, Ackermann as inspector for the northern division and F. J. Kraemer, now master mechanio at Wymore, will as- sume the position of inspector for the ‘Wyoming division, vice J. P. Reardon, who has been assigned to other duties. M. F. Ackermann, who is placed In charge of the imme; shops at Havelock, began work for the Burlington elixteen years ago as an apprentico in the shops at Plattsmouth. In 1892 he wi trans- ferred to the shops at Havelock and a few years later was sub-foreman of en- gine comstruction. When the plecework system was inaugurated Mr. Ackermann's abilities were recognized by his appoint- ment as general Inspector, his territory ‘taking in all of the road’'s shops west of the Missour! river. Articles of incorporation of the Ante- lope Lumbe Coal company of Lincoln ‘were recorded In the secretary of state's office. The company is capitalized at $25,- 000. Its incorporators are A. Graham, L. J. Dunn and 8. H. Martin. W. E. Paloter, chlet clerk in the office of Superintendent Bignell of the northern division of the Burlington, has temporarily relinquished his duties and taken a posi- tion in the train service. Falling health caused him to make the change. Whist Players Return. ‘The Lincoln players who participated in the tournament of the Central Whist as- sociation In Council Bluffs, has returned, welll pleased with contest, but some- ‘what disappointed in not landing some of the trophies. “Honor for being the high- est of all mixed pairs was won by Mr. and Mre.

NEBRASKA RAINS EXCESSIVE Heavy Downpour Uver the State White efiting Some Sections Dam- ages Many Others. TEKAMAH, Neb., Aug. 25.—(Spacial.)— This section was visited with another heavy rainfall last night and it is still raining this morning. The railroad tracks, both north and south of town, are washed out for the fourth time this season. The thousands of acres of Missour! river bottom hay ground, from which thousands of tons of hay are cut yearly, i still too soft to work on and some of it is under ome to two feet of water. This last heavy rain makes the problem of saving this hay quite a serlous one. WAYNE, Neb., Aug. 25.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A heavy rain fell in this viclnity last night and this morning, doing consid- erable damage to emall grain that still stands in the shock. Some: threshing has been done, also some grain s stacked, but if rain continues much longer three- fourths of the harvest will have been for naught. BEATRICE, Neb., Aug. 25.—(Speclal Tel- egram.)—A timely rain visited this section this evening. ELWOOD, Neb., Aug. 25.—(Special.)— Last night one inch of rain fell all over Gosper county, thereby assuring the lar- gest crop of corn ever ralsed here. Some corn in the extreme south part of the county has been damaged by drouth, but over the county in gemeral the corn Is very fine. Wheat has been threshing from thirty-five to fifty-five bushels per acre. In many Instances the wheat sold from the ground has brought more momey than has been asked for the land. ‘Winter wheat is practically & new thing here, but last year and this have demon- strated that there is no better wheat county in the state than Gosper and a large acreage will be planited this fall. Farm lands are as yet cheap here, but have begun to advance. WINSIDE, Neb., Aug. 25.—(Special.)— This part of Wayne county was visited by a six hours’ downpour of rain last night. It ie still cloudy and no prospect of clear- ing. About four-fitths of all the grain ls in the shock and badly damaged.

STEPS INTO WATERY 'GRAVE Olson of Lincoln Walks ssippl from Steamer BURLINGTON, 1Ia., ‘Aug. 25.—(Special Telegram.)—While stepping from the steamer Mary Hill on its return from an excursion late last night Charles P. Olson of Lincoln, Neb., accidentally fell into the river here and was drowned:. He, with a number of relatives and friends, had gone on the excursion and had just returned to Burlington after an enjoyable day. The accident was the result of darkness.and Mr. Olson's ignorance concerning the loca- tion of the gang plank. The body has not been found. Mr. Olson was superintendent of bridges and bufldings of the B. & M. rallroad and a prominent western rallrond man. He had come to Burlington last week to attend the funeral of a friend and had gone on east to purchase a rock-crushing plant for the B. & M. He returned to Burlington Sunday morning and accepted the invitation of friends to go on the excursion. The deceased was 58 years of age. He came to Burlington in 1868 and went to work for the B. & M., his advancement be- ing steady. He was well liked by his em- ployes and popular among his fellow rail- road men. He is survived by a widow and two children in Lincoln. Neligh to Hold Fall Carnival. NELIGH, Neb.,, Aug. 25.—(Special.)—Ar- rangements for the street carnival on' Sep- tember 16, 17 and 18 are so far completed s to demonstrate the promise of the com- mittee that the affalr is to excel anything of the same nai retofore attempted in this section of the state.

FREE LUNCHES ON ELABORATE SCALE Board of Naval Officers to Experiment and Report on Wireless Telegraph System for Use in the Navy. (From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—(Special.)— The forthcoming national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to be held here in October will be the second occasion upon which the veterans of the civil war have gathered in Washington since the The last time the boys In blue appeared—nine years ago— many of the great leaders of the civil war were still living. Today the most con- spicuous of the survivors is Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the my of the United States. The veterans 5 want to see as much as possible , the last prominent figure of the civil war, and their wish is likely to be gratified. General Miles has mot been on terms of cordlal relationship with the heads of the War department for some years past. There have been many snarls between the civilian and military heads since the outbreak of the Spanish war and in every instance the Washington Post has sided with the de- partment against the gencral. But in re- ferring to the desire of the Grand Army of the Republic to honor Genmeral Miles the Post pays him a tribute which every vet- eran will appreciate. “General Miles,” says the Post, head of the United States army. Of all the survivors of the civil war, he held the highest command, occupled’ the most important place and made the most brik lant record. ~Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Halleck, Meade, Harcock have passed away. Of those that remain, Miles s indisputably the most notable. ' More- over, he is nearer to the Grand Army than any 'of them, for he rose from civil life to high military position without the aid of West Point prestige and association. There was no more dashing fighter, no abler brigade or division commander in the whole army. He had the confidence of his men. He led them always. And he fought with a spirit and dash that cap- tivated the imagination as it held the con- fidence of his followers. We do not see make a wiser they did—at the “is the how the veterans coul cholce. Miles began bottom of the lad gain like them, he fought his way upward by sheer force of personal merit and achievement. We know of no army officer today who Is closer to the fghting men of 18616 He was of the people. He had no privileges or tra- dition of organized Influence behfnd him, He went nto the war as did thousands of others—unknown, resolute, bent on carving gut ‘his own déstiny without a helping hand. How he attained prominence; how he made his name a household word among those who loved the union—these are chap- ters which have already passed into the nation’s history. General Miles needs no chronicler or laureate so far as concerns the brilllant part he played in_the_tre- mendous tragedy of forty years ago. Every zzled warrior who comes here in October o attend the celebration of our reunited land has the dazzling incidents of General . career at his fingers' ends, They ilve been recounied ai u thousand camp- fires since the peace of 13%5. They have long had their place in the annals of Amer- ican valor and devotion. The veterans ect no more appropriate chief for the occasion—no truer representative of all that is best and finest in the American voluntee Remove 0ld Landmark. When congress reassembles fn December, one of the lgndmarks, which has made Pennsylvania avenue notable for five years, will have been removed. On September 29, 1897, the cable power house of the Capital Traction company-was destroyed by fire. Every vestige of the building that could possibly burn was consumed, and such por- tions of the walls as did not fall were taken down. But for five years the tall chimney stack has remained a conspicuous monu- ment to the burned bullding. Congress, just before the sesslon ended, authorized the purchase of the site of the power house at & cost of $550,000. The site was promptly acquired and now the chim- ney is to be removed and all the debris carted away, so as to leave a location for the use of the Grand Army. Within a few years the land will be covered with a munic- ipal bullding for the use of the local author- ities. The local government has been housed in any old barnlike structure which could be rented cheaply ever since the pres- ent government was created—nearly thirty years ago. Free lunches are a pecullarity of Amor- fcan cities. In no other country in the world are they known. San Freneffco en- Joys the reputation of furnishing the most elaborate one for thirsty patrons of bars who are also hungry. New York and Chi- cago are well up to the front in this respect and Boston's beans and brown bread are not to be sneesed at. In the old days before Grover Cleveland became governor of New York he was known to have had clam chow- der at one place on a Saturday night, “has- senpteffer” at another, fried oysters and trout at a third and sausage and mashed potatoes as a final wind-up at Shenkilberg- er's. But It remains for Washington to spread the greatest of all these custom catchers. On Saturday nights at this time of the year one frequently sees the sign posted: “Crab Feast Tonight.” He who en- ters ome of these places with a nickle in his pocket and calls for a glass of beer will have set In front of him a huge tray plled high with bolled hard shell crabs. The fumber he may consume is unlimited. He bas & heavy fork and & small hammer with a bottle of vinegar and a pepper caster. He can feast to his heart's content. One man claims to have consumed forty-eight crabs last Saturday night. This may b an exaggeration, but men who get away with two dozen every week are to be found in all of the departments. Navy Experiments with Wireless. The board of naval experl¥, headed by Admiral Bradford, appointed to witness experiments in wireless telegraphy, with & view to installing the system In the navy, began its work this week at the United States navy yard here. The tesis were guarded so carefully that no one ex- cept those who attended knows whether they were successful. When the experi- ments bave been concluded the board will make a réport to the secretary of the navy, with recommendations as to the tem best adapted to ships. Admiral Brad- ford believes the government should pur- chase outright the system decided upon and mot bind the government with & con- tract for royalties through the life of the patent. The Marconl system is not being considered, for the reason that the Mar- coni company will not make a contract except upon the basis of royalties. Ad- miral Bradford takes the position that the sea is essentially the field of usefulness for wireless telegraphy. He says it will be invaluable for the navy, as it will en- able a ship to report its locaticn and con- dition and ask for assistance, if necessary, from other ships that may be 100 miles away without difficulty. He thinks it will be found that messages can be transmit- ted over the sea with much more factlity than over land and through a greater dis- tance. He also emphasizes its importance in times of war. It is pointed out by na- val oficers iulerested fu (his subject (hat | the American navy is far behind Euro- pean navies in the matter of wireless te- legraphy. England has over thirty ships equipped with the Marcon! system and Germany's ships are generally being fit- Jed with wireless apparatus. Much atten- tion is belng devoted to the subject in " Passed Gravel Stone as Large as a Pea. Royersford, Pa., April 19th, 1902, Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

FARMER FALLS TO HIS DEATH Jacob EI Plerced by Pitchtork e in Accldent Near Emerson.

OFFER HARRINGTON ON THEIR SIDE Populists and Democrats Assert that Mr. Baldwin Would Fittingly Rep- resent Republicans on Ratl road Taxation Question. | | Chairman Weber of the people’s inde- pendent committee and Vice Chalrman Scott of the democratic committee have given out for publication the following selt-explanatory communication, which they have addressed to Chairman Lindsay of the republican state committee: CMAHA, Aug. 2, 192 —Hon. H. C. Lind- say, Chalfman_Republican State Commit- tee, Lincoln, ~Neb.—Dear Sir: The para- mount issue in the present state campaign is that of rallroad taxation. The matter is_being very generally discussed in the press of the state and thereby coming to be’ better understood. Our committees de- sire to have this question thoroughly pre- seted to the people and to obtain their verdict thereon. We declare that the as- sessment made by the republican state ad- { ministration is cntirely too low and it is a flagrant_injustice upon the people of this state. Your state administration contends that ‘the rallroads are taxed high enough. We know of no way in which the merits of the matter can be so well brought out and the people have so good an oppor- tunity to get at the truth as by a series of joint debates. In mere newspaper con- trcversy many things may be sald on either side which overstate the facts and would not be sald in a joint debate. Where both sides are represented the statements | are more llkely to be accurate. We have | entire confidence in our position and be- | lleve that we car gonvince the people of | the state that on thls great issue alone the | republican ticket ought to be defeated. | Of course the most acceptable way would be to arrange for a series of joint debates | between our candidate for governor, Hon. |'W. "H. Thompson, and your candidate for governor, Hon. John H. Mickey. Our In- formation, however, is that Mr. Mickey does not 'profess to be a public speaker and that he was nominated with the un- derstanding that he should make a qulet campaign, and we suppose your commit- tee would think it unfalr to have him pitted against so well qualified a public speaker as Mr. Thompson. Having this in view, we offer another suggestion. Hon. M. F. 'Harrington was chairman of the committee in the people's independent con- vention that wrote the populist platform and he urged the nomination of Mr. TEompson upon that platform. Mr. Harrington went before the supreme court to assist in compelling the railroa s to pay more taxes. It is generally recog- nized that he made an effective presenta- tion of the people's side in that case. Your slde of the contest was led by Hon. John N. Baldwin, the general attorney for the Unlon Pacific Rallroad company, who played the dual part of “friend of the court” and acting attorney general, con- ducting the case in behalf of the railroads and state officers as against the peopie. In addition to performing Mr. Brouts duties, Mr. Baldwin was also present at the conference wherein it was decided that Mr. Mickev should be nominated, and he should, therefore, be competent to repre- sent your side of this controversy. We take it then that no other man will typify more clearly the platform upon which your ticket asks election than Hon. John N. Baldwin. He is an accomplished and elo- quent orator. The debate between Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Harrington would be be- tween two gentlemen who are well qualified discuss 1t from a broad and intelligent standpoint. Each will represent the views of his party In this most important reform and probably no two gentlemen could be selected in the state whose personal views would more clearly portray the actunl position of our respective tickets in the matter of raliroad taxation. We propose to you then that you unito with us in arranging a serfes of five joint debates between these gentlemen in each congressional district. This would make thirty meetings in all and no doubt such a discussion would bring out the people of the state very generally for the purpose of learning the right and wrong of the maffer now uppérmost in the public mind. Yours respectfully, . R, B. WEBER, Chairman People's Independent State Cen- tral Committee. C. B. 8COTT, Vice Chairman Democratic State Central Committee.
