The re- suit of these test cases will affect some seven thousand men who were mem- bers of the association.

What Color Shall It Be !?

The current code of colors is such a complex one that the ordinary woman will hardly understand all its rules be- fore a new set is put forward as posi- lively the only authority. While bright and trying colors are authorized and abundant, there is a plenty of other sorts. Black and white, both in com bination and solid, are more popular than ever, but this year the combina- tion is rather white and black than black and white. Cerise is being over- used but will remain popular through the season. In Things and well sub dued by black 1t will CT seem exclu-

AN INTER EXITING OUES7TON

Odd Fellows and others will be inter- ested in @ question which has been raised In the Wisconsin courts. The question is whether members of the Wisconsin Odd Fellows Mutual Life Insurance associat ton who withdrew from the association in anticipation Of it's downfall, are liable for assessments to pay death benefits becoming due be- fore their membership ceased Ordi- narily the penalty in such association for a failure to meet assessments is confined to revocation of benefits, but there are peculiar and complicating features in the constitution of the Wis consin association. Under these provi- sions members life insurance policy holds good for sixty days after he has defaulted in the payment of his assess ments. The receiver of the association reasons from this that even if a mem- Der notifies the company of his with drawal from it, he is still bound to pay assessments that may accrue during the intervening sixty days. Again
 ninety days are allowed for proving uI a death, and even after this date the company may institute an investfga- ton, carry the matter into court, and

Lumbermen in the lower Mississippi valley are complaining, as one of the sequelae of the great flood, that much of their lumber will be unfit for ship
 ment because it has been under water and is covered with silt. This material will all need to be cleaned. which will involve a great amount of work and expense, and where cottonwood, for eX- ample, has been deluged it will be prac- tically ruined, because the dirt can hardly be washed out of it's fuzzy fibre. Another complaint is that it will be q long time before the supply of game, like wild turkey for instance, is re- plenished. A Memphis paper states that two hundred deer took refuge on

A decision of special interest to sportsmen was recently rendered by the Wisconsin Supreme court, denying ex- elusive privileges in a so-called swamp to a sporting club. It was well under stood, of course, that riparian owners own to the thread of the current in run ming water, but only to the water-line in lakes and ponds, where the title to the land rests in the State. But the pond in dispute, popularly known as lake, was so shallow as to be more in the nature of a swamp or marsh, and was considered by the members of the club to be outside of the courts ruling as to riparian rights. The court held to the contrary, however. While the pond it said, might with accuracy be called a swamp, it was none the less "a meandered lake, the land under which belonged to the people, and ownership of the land carried with it the right of fishing and fowling upon the waters.

The Boston real estate corpora ton known as the Fifty Associates, which has been in existence since 1919, has never been compelled until this year to file a statement of it's affairs with the commissioner of corporations. A law enacted in 1896 renders this obligatory upon it. It owns much real estate in the heart of the city. The officers re- port that the corporation has no fixed capital, but there are 1000 shares and no debts, and the assessed valuation of it's lands, buildings, etc, in May, 1896, was $3,532,670.

nIoody FIrht In Perklns .

News reached here from Perkins last
night Of q bloody battle which oc-
Cured on the streets Of that town in
which four or fve men were badly
hurt, and IL seemed for time that
general riot was about TO ensue. Liv-
ing near Perkins are the Atkinson
and Dougherty families, the heads Of
each family being named William and
the elder Atkinson being the uncle Of
the elder Dougherty.
There has been hard feelings between
the families for some time and when
the Atkinsons missed a number of
crooks Of choice butter from their cell
lar Monday morning they at once
charged the DOughertys with the
theft and promptly had them arrested,
together with their hired hand on
charge Of larceny.
The hearing came off before a JUS
lice Of the peace In Perkins yesterday,
and the Atkinsons pretty thoroughly
established their ownership of the but
ter but the justice reserved his deci-
/ ion. As the parties were leaving the
court room one OF the Atkinson boys
/ told the Doughertys that they had
/ sworn TO q pack OF lies.
| old man Dougherty and his son John
resented this, and In a moment John
was knocked down and the ola man
dealt blow in he face. John leaped
up with drawn knife In his hand and
stabbed the oldest Atkinson boy three
or four times, then ran at William At
kinson and stabbed him four times in
the thigh The youngest Atkinson
boy attempted TO interfere aud was
stabbed in the stomach. The Atkin-
son who had first been stabbed now
appeared with meat cleaver he had
obtained in a butcher shop, and struck
at DouRherty, cutting bad cash in his
shoulder. and by this time citizens who
had gathered interferred and stopped
the bloody affair. just as John
Dougherty was placed under arrest the
younger Atkinson, who had been
stabbed In the stomach, app cared with
a Winchester. but he fell fainting 10

cent Of the total vote Of the territory
at the general election held in the ter
ritory in the year 1894, was amended
by President Johnson TO read, party
which has maintained It's organization
since the last general election" This
amendment brought on rambling
discussion Of over an hour with a
couple Of political speeches thrown in.
The amendment OF President johnson
was finally adopted with Messrs
Gould and Randolph against Mr.
Gould said he voted no because this
provision went too far the other way
| the last legislative assembly enacted
an anti fusion law, which this assembly
was repeating, and this provision in
the bill which he was opposing was
| in effect an "anti- organization" law.
II s. Johnston offered an amendment
which, in effect, alternated the names
| OF the different party candidates
so that the candidates OF any
party would not be first in each
group or column, which was adopted
after another half hour discussion and
rejection Of a shower OF amendments.
