CROPS ARE INSURED.
The Nebraska Farmers safeEuArded
Against Loss to Their wheat
from Hail.

IL Is interesting to See the adjustment
OF hailstorm losses on Nebraska crops.
The insuring Of crops from hail has be-
come the custom there, Roadway being
made since the Nebraska farmer stopped
raising spring wheat and began sowing
winter wheat, reports the Chicago Trib-
une.
Winter wheat crops are considered
good risks by the old line companies.
They are insured for from 81 tC 80 ar
acre at six per cent. premium. A large
amount OF the insurance placed by farm
ers is against damage from hail. A
storm occurred in western Nebraska this
year. but struck section where most Of
the growing crop Of winter wheat was
covered by insurance.

TWO KINDS CT FINANcIERING.
SimpIent of Bank Frauds That Was
Sucoes1fnlIy Worked by
scheming Clerk.

81 saw a man on the street tbs other
day who got away with enc OF the sim
plest bank frauds ever heard Of" said
bank inspector who was in New York
on his regular tour CT duty. This man
was employed in a bank in a city up
state. IL turned out when the bank
closed its doors that II had been run
very loosely, but that had nothing in
particular to do with this mans opera
tons. He was a clerk in the bank and
made up the quarterly interest account.
This was a sheet showing what was
due each depOsitor fer interest. 1t gem
orally ran 20 three or four sheets, and
the footing OF each had to be carried
to the top OF the next one. Well. about
the third sheet the clerk would enter
the footing properly. then let a drop
Of ink fall on the first column OF the
figures. He would let 1t dry there. thus
obscuring the footing OF the sheet.
In carrying over to the next sheet
the footing that was blotted he would
add 81 coo. go that the total Of the report
would show $1,000 more chargeable to
interest than actually was a charge
against the bank. He'd let this report
go to the directors OF the bank. with the
idea that il the error was detected he
would account for it by the blot. saying
he had made natural mistaSe. Whsn
the sheet went through unquestioned he
proceeded to get possession Of the 81 900
by opening an account in the Eame Of a
fictitious psrson and creGiting this &C
count with $1,000. The banks accounts
were thus forced TO balance.
Then by drawing checks on the ac-
count Of the fictitious depositor he would
draw the money cut. When We nabbed
him he made co2fe ssion. He had been
stealing about $4,000 a year in this way.
That was the bank" continued the in
spector. "whers. when the directors
fouCd the hole in the bottom. they fitted
up a presidents office in magnificent
style. went cut and got an ambitious mil
lionaire. showed him the office. asked
him il he wouldn't like 10 be president
and then sold him their stock az $3.50
He wasn't in a month before the bank
failed"
