LINCOLN, June Is. Especially - The
Teachers National Fraternal Benefit associa-
ton is the title Of a full fedged insurance
company recently launched upon the business
sea Of Lincoln. The word recently is used
advisedly, for IL It has been long in exist
ence its methods must be slightly peculiar.
Ex-State Superintedent Of Public instruction
A. X Goudy Is supreme chancellor president
OF the institution and NJ. =. Given secretary
and general business factotum, with offices
in the Brace block. Supreme Chancellor
Goudy has been absent from the city during
the past two days but Secretary Given was
seen today by a reporter for Tue Bee, and he
said that the company was doing great
deal Of business and writing many policies
of insurance.
State Auditor Eugene Moore, when inter-
viewed In regard to the enterprise. said that
so far the Teachers National Fraternal Ben
eft association was not known in the depart
ment Of state insurance, over which he has
control. He said that while an insurance
company could adopt any name it saw mt,
before IL proceeded to write policies 1t must
conform with the state insurance law or be
in the position Of transacting business
illegally. So far the Teachers National Fra
ternal Benefit association had not complied
with the law In any particular and he did
not know whether its officers intended to do
so or not.
MUST COMPLY WITH THE LAW.
At the Office Of State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction Corbett nothing was
known of the company save that its organizer
and chief promoter had been Prof. A. X.
Goudy, and that the institution was organ
lied soon after the expiration of Prof Goudy's
term Of Office as state superintendent 1t Is
said that Hon. G. NJ Lambertson is attor-
ney for the new insurance company This
statement would appear, however, to be In
direct conflict with the fact that the
Teachers National Fraternal Benefit asso-
clation had not complied with the insurance
laws. Auditor Moore further says that any
secret organization. club, guild or association
possessing insurance features must comply
with the law and be registered at the audi
tors office before transacting any business In

Colorado's attorney general Byron L. Carr,

strong republican element in his state AMI
announces himself as solidly for free silver
and believes If the republican national con-
yertion does not adopt free silver plank
the party will lose not only Colorado, but
quite number of other western states.
APPROPRIATION is TOO SMALL.
Steward A. j. Scott of the Hastings Hos
pital for Incurables at the state capital
today on special business with some of the
members of the Board of Public Lands and
Buildings. He told them that there were
now 445 inmates in the hospital and that

to accommodate the expected new comers II
