TALKS OF INSURANCE RATES
Agent says Omaha May Expect Adj
vance ON Dwelling House
Risks.

Speaking in regard to the proposed in
crease in insurance rates in the territory
east OF the Rocky mountains. excepting
New York City, a local agent said:
we understand that the rates are to be
Increased only In those cities where the
schedule rating plan has not been adopted.
In ffty-two cities west of the Allegheny
mountains this plan has been introduced
and In these cities rates on commercial
risks will not be affected at the present
time, while IN the other cities the advance
has been specifically ordered In many
cases.
What Omaha may expect, however. lie an
advance in the rate on dwelling house
risks. The rate now is comparatively low
as compared with the commercial risk, but
II is high az compared with similar risks
In the east. This is true, however, with
all risks in the west. Omaha has an aver
age commercial rate Of about t1.25. Pat
erson. N. j., had an average rate Of about
rs cents, little more than half the Omaha
rate. What the insurance companies
should do Is to equaiize rates, raising
those of the east II they cannot afford to
lower those OF the west, but this is ex-
aetly what they will not do, as the indi-
Vldual underwriters and Lloyds Will keep
the eastern rate down.
ut is not generally known. but there
has been an advance in the rate on the
packing houses OF South Omaha in the last
month. with the burning Of the Hammond
packing house at Hammond. Ind. and the
Dold packing house at Wichita, Kan, the
insurance companies became frightened and
set about raising rates. Some of the pack
ers seriously objected and threatened to
withdraw their business. but found that
they could not place the Insurance at a
better rate than that proposed by the COM
panles in any Of the Lloyds. Another rea-
son for not making the change is that In
~surance ~policieB IN individual underwriters
and Lloyds will not be accepted as collat-
erat BY the banks for loans. as it is not a
clear asset, the insured being one of the
insurers"

WAITS ON OLD FATHER TIME
POstOnice Clock Fakes squirt and
Then stops for Ten
Minutes.

For nearly a year now the big clock in
the tower of the government building has
been keeping perfect time, which made the
fact that 1t gained ten minutes on Satur-
day all the more remarkable. People were
so in the habit OF relying Upon it that half

Of the so-called regulator were altered
to conform TO this error of Uncle Sans
chronometer.
John Rudd, the jeweler, who has the
contract for keeping the big timepiece in
order. detected the sudden squirt, and went
up to see what was the matter. Every
thing seemed to be in normal condition.
He stopped the s00-pound pendulum and
sat Town to wait ten minutes for Father
Time to catch zip. 1t was then that he
observed something which may explain the
feverish condition OF the clock. Three
pigeons were r~oosting serenely on the
sheathing hat protects the handrods OF
the west face. For awhile II was a mys-
terry as to how they got in, but this was
soon explained by the fact that a narrow
ventiIating window in the room below was
open. The pigeons had entered through
this, and thence had flown up through the
hatch that is pierced in the floor at the
head of the iron staircase.
Just how the pigeons affected the working
Of the clock, or whether they affected II at
all or not, cannot be explained. II II had
been an engine they might have produced

but his clock has no safety valve. How
ever, It is an interesting fact that the

duct OF the clock we're coincident; also
that now, the birds gone, the clock is keep
