FEBRUARY WEATHER.
The following data, compiled from
the weather bu.nau records at st.
Louis, Mo-, for the mon,ii Of Febrary,
cover period of twenty four yeoTs

est in anticipating the more import
ant meteorological elements and the

MUST PAY FOR SUICIDES.
The suit of Mrs. Mary A. Logan, of
Armourdale, against the Fidelity and
Casualty Co., of New York, to re-
cover a policy of 81, 500 on the life
of her dead son, came to an end
when Judge Scarritt stopped the
hearing of evidence and ordered the
jury to bring in a verdict for Mrs.
Logan.
William +. Logan committed sui
eide i'll 1893. The insurance COM
pany refused to pay the policy on the
ground that suicide was not an acci-
dent but a premeditated and deliber-
ate act. Mrs. Logan's lawyers
pointed out the Missouri statutes
which provide that life insurance
| policies must be paid on the death of
| the insured, no matter what the
cause of death. The comp2ny's law
yers argued that this law applied
only to straight life insurance, not to
accident insurance. Judge Scarritt
decided that the law applied to all
classes of life insurance, and ordered
verdict returned against the COM
pany.
The insurance company will appeal
the case to the supreme court. 1t is
the first lime this question has arisen
in the courts of Missouri.
