on its way to Richmond. N
No one was hurt, but had 1t been q

BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
AS the Exemplificatlon OF His Ideas A
Strong Local Company Backed by
the People of Nebraska and
the West.

Il cannot urge the people of the west too
strongly to build up their local insurance
companies" said B. H. Robson president
OF the Bankers Reserve Life association
and probably the best known life insurance
expert west Of Chicago. 1T Is essential to
the financial independence Of the west We
cannot afford to take from 81 100000 TO
$2O00,0OO a year from our savings and cart
II away to New York to be stored in money

"Des Moines, Ia, is the home OF a hun
dred insurance organizations organized un-
der the laws OF that state. An army OF
more than 25 900 people Is supported by the
more than 5000 persons paid wages and
other forms OF compensation by these in
stitutions.
Nebraska is now the home Of three
staunch life insurance companies organized
under the laws of this state. There are a
number OF fire insurance, accident and
casualty companies and this state is the
home state Of two OF the great benefit So
cieties and OF several younger but prom
ising fraternal organizations.
There is no reason in the wide, wide
world why Nebraska should march in the
rear ranks OF the insurance advance guard
OF the west. Situated at exactly the right
geographical location to cover the Trans
mississippi region, in the healthiest section
of the American union with thousands Of
insurable age, loyal and enterprisng, VIC
can and we shall make Nebraska rank with
Connecticut and Massachusetts, in the in
surance world.
81 am very much i'm earnest about this
matter not alone because l am the execu-
i've officer Of a promising company but
beUause my heart is in this patriotic work
of building up the great west along life in
surance lines.

GOVERNOR DAVIS DID NOT ATTEND.
Remains Absent From Hearing Of Probing Committee-Th Thomasson
 Testimony Proves Sensational.

Little Rock, Ark, March 2O.--In- l teresting testimony was brought be- fore the ways and means committee last night. There were no clashes, as Gov. Davis refused to attend the session.
 l.. N. Thomasson of Carlisle, Ark, when called to the stand, said Gov. Davis had sent for him yesterday and he had gone to the governors office, where he was asked about E. B. Jett's testimony concerning the hunting trip to Texas. Mr. Thomasson, who was a member of the party, testified that when they reached Sayre trainmas- ter told them that he had a telegram or letter directing him to furnish the governor with car, which was done. On the return trip the governor had said the railroad company had offered him a dining car with a cook. He had declined it, but said that he would ac- cept it next fall. Yesterday afternoon the governor had said that he was either drunk or lying if he made that statement. MT. Thomasson further testified that he and Gov. Davis fell out last summer because he refused to swear to a statement the governor had dictated. The statement was de- rogatory to Gov Eagle. He said Gov Davis also wanted him to make an affidavit that he had never seen him under the influence of liquor.
