JUDGE TULEY, of the Superior Court
ut Chicago, recently decided that the
Chicago Mutual Life Indemnity Asso-
citation was doing an insurance BUSH
ness Illegally and must be wound up.
Complaint against the association was
made by Attorney-General Hunt in an
information which contained forty
charges. The most serious charge was
that the association admitted infants
to membership, and other allegations
were made which placed the company
in the light of deathbed insurance
concern. The court found the defend
ant guilty of violating the Insurance
laws in admitting minors to member
ship; in using advance mortuary as
sessments," and in practicing many
other irregularities which caused un-
certainty and confusion to members.

Governor Larrabee Does Not Think the
Iowa Lines Will Gain Much by 1t.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, July 1.-The order of
Judge Brewer forbidding The Railroad
Commissioners from putting the new
freight schedule into force was surprise
to one member-Mr. Day-who was in
town when it was received. He immedi-
ately went 10 consult with the Attorney
General. When seen later he said: ~ am
well satisfied with the turn affairs have
taken. L shall be glad to see the matter
brought to competent test in the courts"
Governor Larrabee, when informed OF
Judge Brewers order had nothing to say
further Than that he believed the railroads
had hurt themselves by this new move.
They would only increase the present feel
ing of hostility against them and make
their burden greater to bear in the end
Hethought they should have submitted in
silence and taken their medicine. Com
missioner Smith wrote to President Per-
kins Of the Burlington suggesting that the
Commissioners would be willing to meet
with representatives of the road and 60
over the schedule with them and modify 1t
il it should appear to be unjust This let
ter looked as if The Commissioners were
incli-ed to think they might have been too
radical In their reduction, but it was writ
ten before the notice was issued.
Some years ago, when l was school
boy, attending school at Calvary, Ga, i, in
company with one Of my cousins, wit
messed one of the most wonderful of spirit
professions. Twas on Friday afternoon,
in the spring Of the year, and we were on
our way from school. We came down the
road, laughing and talking together. We
were just opposite the graveyard, at the
Primitive Baptist Church (Piedmont),
where we witnessed one of the grandest
burials mag nable. Just in front of US,
as silent as moonlight, came the burial
procession. On, on, it came. First the
corpse in blue wagon drawn by two white
mules. Then the mourners in black.
Then the rest of the PROCESSION in
all the colors of the rainbow, NOV
ing with silent tread to the grove
which surrounds the yard. Coming to the
grove they halted, lifted the coffin from
the wagon, loH cred it into the grave and
filed it. Then, re-entring their wagons
and buggies, all of them moved of, pass
ing over graves, trees and every thing else
in the way. The whole procession then |
disappeared like mist. We knew all the |
people, and knew whom they buried. |
When it disappeared we went home in a |
hurry and told my mother about it. She |
would not let US tell Uncle j. and his wife, |
because 1t was their little girl that we saw
buried. She was at the time, to my GER |
tain knowledge, well and hearty. Before |
Saturday night she was a corpse and was
buried in accordance with the scene we
had witDessed.-CoY. Macon (Ga TelegrGgh. |
