NEW KEY RATE FOR OMAHA
Basis for Determfning Fire Insurance
Schedules brings Representa-
tive TO the City.

f. r. Townsend, a representative Of the
Western Insurance union, is in Omaha max
ing observations and Investigations to de-
tcrmne a new key rate" for fire insur-
ance schedules In Omaha This is some
thing separate and apaEt from the ad-
vanoes in classihcations and is the back
bone OF all the rate-making. Whether or
not the new key rate will be higher or
lower than the present Mr.. Townsend told
inquirers he could not say. His investiga-
lions 20 into the matter OF hreprooflng,
wiring. business construction, water mains
and hydrants and fire department protec-
ton. and are confined to the business dis
triCts.
Il look for a higher key rate. possibly
and certainly no lower than what We have"
said man I'm touch with the situation
"The insurance companies have got to have
the money to make up for the San Fran
cisco losses; that's all there Is 10 It. In
the end It means a golden era for the COM
panies, for il is much easier to let the rates
remain advanced than to tear them down
OF course efforts will be made to reimburse
for the losses in equitable manner, but
the cost will fall just the same

JAoUITH MAKES CORRECTION
Says Acceptance of Grain OF Any
Kind "wednesday Was PrRc-
ticaIly Nothing.

'I notice in the report OF the grain mar
ket OF Wednesday, said A. B. Jaquith,
1.-THE following; Good weather caused an
early bearish feeling in corn and large ac-
ceptances from the country had a weaken
ing effect Now. as a matter of fact, the
acceptances Of corn or grain of any kind
in Nebraska, or any territory tributary TO
Nebraska, were practically nothing. The
Exchange Grain company had out the
highest bid on corn, also on oats that
went out of Omaha, and we only bought
1900 bushels of oats and no corn The
Omaha elevator, well as other elevator
concerns here, advised me yesterday morn
ing there were no receipts from the coun-
try, and the opinion seems TO prevail
among the elevator people, who have a
large number Of agents, that the farmers
will not sell their corn in Nebraska or
western Iowa until the new corn is as
sured and this means not until after the
latter part Of July, for the reason they
know by experience that the majority of
seasons when the corn crops that have
been reduced by hot and dry weather have
been damaged about from July Is 10 g.
l simply desire TO call your attention to
this matter, and you will find upon inquiry
that this is correct. 1 do not like to see
the reports go out conveying to country
dealers or farmers that a large amount OF
corn is moving, when. as a matter of fact.
IL is untrue"

BEATRICE ASYLUM A MODEL
such IL Secretary Morris version of
the Institute for the
FeebIe-Minded.

Secretary Morris of the Associated Chart
ties returned from Beatrice Thursday
where he had gone to take John Hirschman
to the Institute for the Feeble Minded
After an examination OF the condition OF
the institution Mr.. Morris declares in his
judgment there is no foundation for the re-
port that the boy leaving the home re-
fiected i'm any way upon those In charge.
He left July 4, at which time friends OF
the inmates are allowed to take the chill
dren out OF the home for a vacation until
the opening OF the school work in the fall.
Young, Hirschman left in company with his
sister, but they did not return him when
the time came. Under the law there is no
way parents can be compelled to keep their
children in the institution. Nothing was
done in the case until Hirschman became a
charge upon the county again. when the
commissioners asked Mr.. Morris to make
the investigation.
II have seen large number OF SUCH in
stltutons" said Mr.. Morris. and I can say
never saw one which appeared to be kept
in as good condition as the one at Beatrice.
Everything seemed to be perfectly clean
and the children are kept under proper
supervision at all times. There seems 10 be
no truth in the statement that Hirschman
was found alone in field near the school
by his sister"

The largest deposits in the history Of
'VSnaha's banking business are shown by
the statements OF the national banks OF
the city, issued June IS, at the call OF tho
comptroller of the currency. They exceed
by fs3,60hl2 the enormous total OF sS7,-
354,06l.ss for the statement of August %.
last year. which was the record to that
date.
From the fact that deposits are always
larger in August than any other month.
II follows that new record will be estab-
lished at the next cali which presumably
will come in August, or early in Sep
TENDER. If the same rate Of increase pre-
walls this year as last year for August
over the previous statement, bankers say
the deposits at the time of the next call
ought to reach close to $40. OO0, 900
Deposits increased $2,23S,S5S.35 over the
last statement which was issued April 6,
and s4,97s,03s.5S over the statement of
May 20 Of last year Loans and discounts
increased S4S9,743.37 over the previous

unique and an suspicious INCIDENT in
American history. 1t will not be the
first time a president has gone out
side Of the territorial limits Of the
United States, but it will be the first
time one has visited a foreign coun-
try. In that it will set a commend
able precedent. In stopping at Porto
Rico on his way south Mr.. Roosevelt
will do away with the foolish notion
that the outlaying possessions of the
United States can never be visited by
the president because in SO doing he
would have to leave the United
States. One of these days, we may
hope, he or some succeeding presi-
dent will visit our other possessions
Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines, and,
above all, Alaska, which we have
owned for nearly forty years and dur
ing the administrations of nine presi-
dents, but which, because of a foolish
superstition, has never yet been visit
ed by the chief Of its government. In
visiting Panama he will demonstrate
that a president of the United States
is not a prisoner, a Dalai, Lama or a
Brooding Buddha, but is as free to go
about the world as is the French
president or the German emperor.
