Burglars Get Away with from Two to FOu

LEAVE NO CLUE AS TO THEIR IDENTITY

Contents an Easy Prey to Ex-
pert Cracksmen, who
Evidently Did Job.

BANCROFT. Neb. Nov. 25.-(special.)
The Bancroft bank, owned by J. E.
Turner. vas entered by burglars this
morning about ? O'Clock. Entrance was
obtained by use Of a skeleton key to the
front door.
The building is a one-story brick. The
safe was not kept in a vault, which made
1t easier work for the burglars.
1t is not known exactly what amount was
taken, probably from $1,000 to $4,000.
All the cash on hand last night is miss
ing. except s1.25, which was found in the
wreck this morning.
Two explosions were made, the first one
on the outer door, which blew it across
the room and almost through the brick
wall. The second was on the inner steel
chest and was a clean job.
Several people heard the explosions, but
we're too frightened TO cause any alarm.
A shoemaker next door heard the reports
and attempted to get out, but found all
his doors had been fastened.
There is no clue to the burglary. as there
has been no suspicious characters noticed
around town.

From a stan Correspondent

LINCOLN, Nov. 25.-Cspecial )-Messrs.
NJ. B. Putney. Ambrose c.. Epperson, John

committee appointed at the annual meet
ing Of the Nebraska League of Modern
Woodmen. to propose a substitute for the
readjustment Of rates plan Of the head con-
sui, made public today their report. They
recommend the following plan:
We have thoroughly reviewed the work
Of the committee appointed by the head
consul under the resolution adopted by the
head camp at st. Paul, ana as to their fiad-
ings in regard TO the condition of our so
ciety and the imperative necessity for re-
arrangement of our plan of insurance We
fully indorse their report.
We are not, however, in accord with
them as to the plan or readjustment Of
fered. ana beg to submit the following
propositions. which in our judgment should
govern all beneficiary associa tons:
l. The purpose of fraternal beneficiary as
sociations should DE 10 furnish life protec-
ton and not speculation or investment IN
surance.
?. Life protection has an actual cost de-
termined by the age Of the member.
8. Each member should be required TO
pay the actual cost of his protection.
We therefore recommend that the laws OF
our society be so amended as to provide
that from and after January ], 1904. every
beneficial member shall pay death benefit
assessments monthly at the rate per Sl.O0C
protection carried, determined by mis- age
from period to period, advancing in periods
Of five years from IS TO As, and thereafter
yearly according to the following table:

an appeal is pending.
The prayer asks for damages Tor such
failure to obey the msndste Of the court.
Judge Good has refused to sit in the trial.
having been the bishops attorney before
going on tine bench, and Judge Shornberger

test is a bitter one.

An analysis of the above table will show
that IL is a combination of what is known
as the natural and level premium plans of
insurance. This table is adequate and will
insure the absolute ~perpetuity OF the So
ciety and the full payment of all its ohli-
cations to the benehciaries of its deceased
members.
With the plan here proposed. twelve
monthly assessments per year are contem-
plated until the amount of money collected
shall equal the contract liability of the So
ciety, at which time such assessments shall
only be levied as to keep the assets OF this
association at all times equal to its iiabiiity.
thus keeping the surplus payments to the
minimum. We recommend that any sur
plus funds created by this plan shall be
safely guarded by appropriate amend
ments IN our laws.
We further recommend tina after jan
uary l. 1904, beneficiary certificates issued
by this society 10 all member adopted
after said date provide that, except in case
where-death occurs from purely accidental
causes, the member shall die within the
