Obituary.

John r. Covey was born in Alburgh, VT,
June 8, S33. In November 1853 he was mar
ried to Miss Mirandy Williams of the same
place and then moved to South Bombay, N
Y There he lived till Jan. 1864 when he
enlisted to defend his country, in the 18th
New York Cavalry. After nearly three
years of service in camp and field, and as
Superintendent of hospital work, he was
mustered out with his regiment. At the
close of his army life he came with his wife
and four little daughters to McGregor, la.
Nearly nineteen years ago one daughter,
Mrs Edna Brown passed to the home
above. the only one of the family circle to
precede the loving husband and father
twenty-five years ago he moved to Ores.
co, where he has since resided. For many
years he has been a worthy and faithful
guardian of the people of Howard county
in both Town and County offices.
OF his affection for his devoted wife and
daughters, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Ellison and
Mrs. Boughner. with their companions and
families, his never firing efforts to make
them happy are sincere evidence. To
friends and neighbors he was genial com
panion and always friend and brother in
their time OF trouble. To all comes deep
loss of sympathetic, generous friend; but
all cherish his kindly words and deeds as
blessed memory and a noble example to
emulate His home was a haven of rest to
the weary pastor and of his treasure he
freely gave to support their work In all
things he aimed to fulfill the law of God :
"Whatsocver We would that men should do
unto you do you even so unto them

A Decision of Interest to Fraternal In
surance Societies.
Chicago, March 2s.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Webb failed in her suit against the
National Union to compel that organi-
cation to pay $4,000 insurance on the
death of her husband, Edward +. Webb,
who killed himself in December, 1893.
Judge Tuthill on Friday instructed the
jury to return a verdict for the defend-
ant. The benefit certificate contained
provision exempting the society from
payment in case of suicide, whether
the insured was sane or insane. Judge
