TROUBLES IN THE NICHOLS HOUSE,
HOLD AT AN END.
Suits for Divorce and for $4,000 Dam
ages Against Ben {. Burgess for
Alienation of Mrs ichOl
Affections Dismissed
Yesterday.

All is once more serene in the household
OF Albert S. Nichols, a clerk in George H.
AIichaelis' hat store who recently brought
suit for divorce from Pearl Z. Nichols,
charging her with adultery. He also
brought suit for $4,000 damages, for aliena-
ton Of his wife's affections, against Ben
c. Burgess, a prominent member OF the
Kansas City Club, and agent for Sweet
Dempster & Co., hat manufacturers, in the
Baird building. Mr.. Burgess was named
Is correspondent in the divorce case. Both
suits were dismissed yesterday by Nichols
ct his cost. A complete reconciliation has
occurred between the husband and wife and
they are now living together in their cosy
little home at 1914 East Thirteenth street.
Nj Burgess comes out OF the case with
untarnished reputation. There was no
money consideration and he did not even
knew Nichols had contemplated dismissing
the suits until it was done.
NJ Nichols accused Burgess of taking
his wife bicycling on numerous occasions
and spending altogether too much time at
his 6NicholsD home during the absence
of the husband. A few weeks ago Mrs;
Nichols went to Chicago on a visit and
the husband rushed into court Two
sensational suits. He has been con-

whom all inquiries are referred by him, all
cause OF discord has been obviated and the
young husband and wife have settled down
10 renewed happiness in their married life.
When the suits for damages and divorce
were brought. Mr.. Burgess declared that
Nichols was entirely mistaken in his sus-
ui6ioas and that nothing whatever had oc-
CURED which would warrant them. He
said that he was one of Nichols best
friends and had been a frequent visitor at
his home on the most friendly relations
with the husband. Mr.. Nichols has evil
IDENTIFY returned to that conclusion also.
Mr.. Burgess said yesterday that not a
penny OF money had been paid by him IN
settling the suit for damages and he did

IMPORTANT INSURANCE POINT.
Supreme Court Decides That when n
Building Loses It's Identity, Full
Insurance Must BE Paid.

The supreme court has just decided an
interesting and important insurance point
in the case Of job c. O'Keefe against the
London and Globe Insurance Company.
O'Keefe sued the company for the face of
a 5000 pdkcy on a building which was
burned. Two of the walls were left stand
ing and the foundation was not injured
at ALL The insurance company claimed
hat ii was entitled to salvage for the ex-
tent of the difference between the face OF
the policy and the value of the walls and
foundations, which could be repaired.
Wallace & Wallace, attorneys for
O'Keefe, raised a novel contention. They
claimed hat the building was so badly
damaged as to lose its identity as a build
ing. and that O'keefe was entitled to re-
cover the face of his policy. without be-
ing allowed any deduction for the value of
the walls and foundation. The supreme
court sustained this claim and the man
date directing the payment of the face of
the policy with accrued interest has Just
been received at the circuit clerks office.
Wallace & Wallace had the pleasure of
winning their point and of receipting for
1883. The case is one of great importance
to owners of buildings which are not to-
tally destroyed. The point has never been
raised before in insurance litigation in Mis-
souri,. Hereafter the owner of any building
which is so badly burned as to lose its
identity as a building may recover the full
value of the policy covering the structure.

this that the increased number of tele-
