Lincoln Letter.
LINCOLN. NEB.. Feb. 10.

The right of the Bankers Union In
surance company to do business in Ne
braska Is being discussed before
Robert Ryan, referee. Insurance
deputy. Pierce of the auditors office
maintains that the company Is prac-
tically %insolvent, having more than
100000 in death and disability claims
o outstanding with but a nominal
sum in the treasury with which to pay.
1t is charged, too, that President Spin
ney controls every act Of the company
officers, names the board Of directors,
draws whatever salary pleases him,
pays an exhorbitant salary to Mrs.
Spinney, vice president Of the order,
and does many other things in defiance
OF the state law. It Is charged also
that the company has absorbed many
other organizations, eighteen or more,
and through them has secuaed a few
hundred members who are past the
legal age or are physically defective,

Expert Accountant Virgins has ex-
amined the books and papers of the
company and his report is most un.
favorable, but the officers explain that
it is most unfair and that they will be
able to show a clean business record

tinue business in Nebraska.
Treasurer Mortensen's expansive
smile has grown ever broader this
week, for it has become apparent that
by the end of the current month al
least 100000 of the state debt will
be wiped out. One call for $4,000
has been made, another has been pre-
pared and it is confidently expected
that at least two more such calls will
be published before February ends
Treasurer Mortensen points out
that, while we are in the habit o
saying that the state is badly in debt
it is a fact, and a most gratifying one
that the amount of delinquent take.

It corrects inability to hold water

Mr.. Piper on Mr.. Doutney Again.
litors Kennebec Journal:

| EullOrS HenneDeC JOurllaI.
! Mr.. Doutney in his reply to my re-
view OF his lectures on ResubmIssion
given at City Hall, takes exceptions to
| my criticisms, apparently becomes
rather angry, and accuses NE of false
| hOOt, and claims l made a mistake III
applying the term imposter..
We'll, let us reason together, my dear
| sir, and readers Of the Journal and
find out the truth of the matter. Mr.
DOCtnoy claims that, in my review, l
! represented that he hired q guide in
Hel t,;,:l % choV him where liquor is
sold. | did not so state as u reference
to my communication Will s.lo" any
| one. | said that he took a guide along
with him and in his reply he admits
that he did. So it can be readily seen
that he clings to Inconsistency even in
this small matter by misrepresenting
me ard then admitting what / said to
be true.
Now any man practicing an i'm
position upon the public is an inn
poster and I claim that Mr.. Doutney
imposes upon the public. Upon Friday
evening he stated that it had cost him
$50 to advertise and prepare for that
meeting and upon Sunday evening the
expenses had run up to $l1J. The col
lections for both nights amounted to
less than $40. Upon Sunday evening
Mr.. Doutnoy stated that he is not
man Of means. To pay his expenses,
ne solicits right and left to help along
his cause which he wrongfully calls
the cause of the people. Is not such
course an imposition? l have Just as
much right to say to the people of
Augusta, l am behind in my work.
help me out, and SO constitute myself
u beSgar and an imposter
Mr.. Duutney would give the impress
sion that | have criticised our police.
Such an implication is false. L am
personally acquainted with every
member of Augustus police force from
Marshal Breen down and ] esteem the
gentlemen highly. In conclusion, let it
be understood that if years of the best
part of ones life wasted in drunken
debauchery be the only thing that will
give a nan a knowledge of the "other
side of life," then l claim ignorance of
the saloon influence. But if dozen
years Of experience in educational work
III a western state having a license
system and if coming in contact with
the delcterious influences of the saloon
business every day for that length of
time constitute a knowledge Of the
matter, then l am competent to pre-
sent facts and Furthermore l can prove
them. ! am now content to let this
case rest with the readers of the
Journal whether Mr.. Doutney is an
imposter Or not.

L. K. Smith had a rather unpleasant
experience. at his home on Chapel
street, Saturday morning. Mrs. Smith
! is away from home, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Smith have been keeping house
| for him during the interval. The range
in the kitchen is equipped with water

| range went out. allowing the water i'll
the pipe leading from the tank to
| freeze, at a short distance from the
range. This was the cause of all the
trouble. When the younger Mr.. Smith
had got the fire started. in the morn
ing. he noticed a noise about the range
that did not sound just right and
called to the other Mr.. Smith, asking
what the trouble was. That gentleman
had not appeared for the day, but re-
memberinG that he had found the fire
lin the range out on coming home, the
might before. he sized up the situation
at once, and told the young man down
stairs to pull his fire as quickly as he
could, which he started to do, but ere
he had removed more than two or three
sticks, there was rending of iron.
followed by roar such as the old sun
set gun at the arsenal used to give
forth. and the room was so filled with
ashes, clinkers. bits of friedrich and
other materials, that it was impossible
for few moments to tell what had
happened. When the dust had cleared
away enough to be seen through, the
room looked as if 1O-inch shell had
burst in it. Two windows were blown
| out, the whole front of the stove was
blown off, the back of the fire box was
blown into the oven, and the stove
itself was swung around several inches
from where it had originally stood.
The ceiling, walls, and everything in
the room. including Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith. were plastered with SCOT and
ashes, and the apartment presented an
| appearance that was negligee in the
| extreme. Happily, neither the occu-
pants of the room were injured. al
though both were in front Of the stove
when the explosion occurred. Some
idea of the force of the explosion may

ATTACK SHIP
Miscreants Attempts to
 Sink Conn cticut

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan
 New York, Oct. 5-A daring attempt was made last night to sink the newly launched battleship Connecticut. A diver bored a hole in the bottom of the ship and a compartment filled with water. The members of the secret service are said to be in possess on of information which will lead to the capture of the perpetrators of the crime and important arrests are ex- pected to take place at once.
 The Connecticut was guarded by a detail that was put on the ship to prevent such an attack us was made last night. Ever since the troubles with the laboring men employed in the construction of the ship there have been rumors of threats in circulation that damage would be done to the vessel, and extraordinary precautions have been taken to insure its safety.
