without secretary, corrected noted and
indexed his own manuscripts. 1t was his
custom to walk in his gardens and work
out the plot of his stories mentally even
to the minute details, and then write rapidly
and without erasure. In speaking OF the
way in which he enters into his work ht
says: 81 am transported into the psycholog-
ical world of each individual; l absorb
them; l adapt myself to the humor and
disposition of EACH which is not always
agreeable. Human passions exist diametric-
ally opposed to my own psychological indi-
vidualism. The suggestiveness OF an evil
heart or a corrupt mind, as libertine, an
assassin, miser or a despot eXcites me to
much suffering; the neurotic state torments
me; the suffering of all these people affects
me to tears Therefore, l must be alone to

He has much to say about the effect upon
his work Of the strict moral training he re-
ceived in his early life, his happy home sur
roundngs and the aid rendered him by his
wife, who like himself was a scholar.
Jokai Is at present at work on what he
intends to make his last volume, the
Songs of the Nibelungen." He says it is
my idea with the pen of a poet to write
Fatherland by Arpad"-a work wherein his

the men, taking their inspiration from the
women, have pushed the work along until
at the present time the church building is
enclosed and will be ready for occupancy
by November l.
Nebraska women never did take a back
seat for those from any other section and
the women from Beemer are certainly en-
titled to position up in the front W even
of Nebraska women. When the winter winds
blow and the storm king has full sway the
Congregationalists OF that town Will be able
to worship in a model little church which
would not be theirs but for the pluck and
determination of the women Ct the congre-
gati0n. While they have not done 1t all,
their example has been an inspiration to
the male portion Of the flock which has
carried the work through to practical com
pletion
Anyone who even passes through the town
cannot help but notice the air OF prosperity
which pervades the community, and with
women like these to second the efforts OF
the men It Is no wonder they are prosperous.

Nebraska Women
Build a Church

when a woman will she will, and when
she went she won't" and in the case Of the
Beemer woman she will. The Congregations
alsts Of Beemer wanted new church, but
were little short on funds to erect the
structure. Ordinarily when there Is any
money to be raised the masculine p1cketbook
is appealed to, but sometimes the women
take a notion that they can raise money
where the men fail, and respond literally
en- ugh for the purpose. The women of
Beemer decided they must have new
church, even II they had to build it them
selves. and the church will be built. They
are not only doing their share toward rails
ing the funds necessary to pay for the
structure, but when occasion requires are
on hand to do some Of the manual labor
in erecting 1t.
On September 5 the first brick was to be
hauled to put the mascns at work, and the
women resolved to show the men Just how
it was done. They secured the necessary
teams, proceeded to the brick yard and
loaded up the wagons, drove to the site OF
the new church and unloaded. There was
no soldering and no walking boss required
on the job, either, and 1t was completed
with neatness and dispatch. Thanks to the
good work Of the women, the laying Of the

The Bee Is a series Of portraits of the re-
publican candidates for district judge
throughout the various Nebraska districts.
The district bench is one of the coveted
places for the legal profession and offers as
well one of the most responsible positions
in the state judiciary short of the supreme
court. This year republicans everywhere
have nominated a most superior class of at
torneys who appeal to the public for sup
port both by their ability and their integrity.
We feel sure the voters of Nebraska will be
glad to be introduced to them by their por-
traits in The Bee.
The public school building which Is to
be erected at Twentieth and o streets
South Omaha, will undoubtedly be a very
handsome structure John Kiewit. jr., the
architect in charge Of the work, has spent
a great deal OF time and thought on the
plans. The first floor plan provides for
four large class rooms and one large prin-
cipal's and recitation room combined.
There will be four large class rooms, one
recitation room and one room for supplies
on the second floor. In the basement there
will be boiler, fuel, storage and toilet rooms.
The building is to be connected with the n
street sewer, and the toilet rooms will be
provided with the latest improved plumbing
appliances Particular attention has been
paid by Architect Kiewit to the heating ana
ventilating and everything in this line will
be OF the best.
Two OF the rooms on the second floor and
the halls will be furnished with gas and
electric light fixtures so that night sessions
may be held II desired. A departure from

New Insurance Rules.

At meeting Of the New England In
surance Exchange in Boston on Dec. 81,
1898, it practically adopted the report
of its special committee on co-insurance,
term rates. and rate reductions The
Boston papers give the result of the
action so far as it affects the public, as
follows:
What has heretofore been known as
co insurance will hereafter be known as
percentage guaranty" and instead OF
q rate being announced with 80 per cent
co-insurance and an increased rate with
out it, the announced rate will be the
high one, and oil percentage guaranty
will reduce it. Thus reinsurance will be
presented as reward rather than pen
atty.
Term rates are to be restored to their
former standard. Three-year policies
will be written for two annual rates,
and 6ve.year policies will be written for
three annual rates.
A moderate amount OF reduction in
rates on risks with the percentage guar
anty clause will be made on new bust
ness, but cancellation of policies to Sc
cure the new rates is forbidden. These
reductions will BIZ pro rata on the per
cent of the percentage guaranty-that
is, policy with an so per cent, guar
anty clause will have better reduction
from present rates than one with only
so per cent guaranty.
The new rates will not be announced
as effective" until the protected prop
erty in each district is re-rated by the
local rate committee.
