SIMPSON VS.,
SIMPsON
The Default of the Defendant
Set Aside Today.
AND AN ANSWER FILED
Plaintiff Says His Wife Will Not Live
With Him In Montana
Casey Wins.
AND AN ANSWER FILED

The motion to set aside the default in
the divorce suit of John Harvey Simpson
against Catherine Ann Simpson and to
allow the defendant to file an answer,
was heard by Judge Lindsay today and
resulted in the court granting the prayer.
The motion was accompanied by an affi-
davit in which allegations were made
concerning he alleged cause of the COM
mencement of the suit. The answer
states that in 1895 the plaintiff and herself
were living together at Grantslale, Ra-
valli county, n at his request and sug-
gestion she went to Missouri for the pur-
pose of educating their three children:
that he failed to send for her and even
suggested that she remain in Missouri
until the children finished their school,
ing; that in order to get back to Mon
tana she had to borrow money.
Simpson testified that since 1897 he had
been in Helena most of the time. He
said he had summoned his wife by pub
LEGATION; that she went to Missouri and
remained until after the children had
finished their schooling, when he went to
Missouri and asked her to return to Mon
tana, but she refused to do so. Her rela-
tives. he further said. had persuaded her
to not come to Montana. She had told
him if he desired to live with her he would
have to do SO in Missouri. She was very
much opposed to living in Montana. He
said he was supporting w of the chill
dren. He expressed the belief that she
never wanted to live with him here. At
one time ne had been in the mercantile
business in Hamilton, this state, but had
failed and only 40 per cent of the liabili-
tics had been paid. At present he had no
employment. He had not, he said, heard
from her for a long time.
The testimony regarding his financial
standing was The result of questions
asked him, as the wife had asked for
alimony.

Supreme Master Workman, J. c.
Bickford, of Manchester, N. H., has
written to the Grand Recorder of
this Jurisdiction urging the awaken
ing of the Nevada Jurisdiction to
the necessity of increasing its mem
bership, and proffering his services
and assistance in any manner, and
asking if his personal appeal to the
Subordinate Lodges of the Juris.
diction would be conducive of good
results. This appeal is made by
the, Supreme Master Workman on
the grounds that there is some dis
satisfaction among the low rate
Jurisdictions at the continued drain
upon them in meeting the relief call
by the high rate Jurisdictions. He
congratulates us upon having made
a net gain in the month of October,
and urges that the work be contin-
ued which had led to that result.
The consideration of this matter
was brought up at meeting of the
Finance Committee last Sunday, at
which meeting Grand Master Work
man, Stewart, was present, and it
was decided to request the Supreme
Master Workman to assist us in
procuring competent organizer,
deputizing him and setting him to
work in this Jurisdiction. There is
no doubt that the Grand Lodge OF
this Jurisdiction is thoroughly in
accord with the suggestions made
by the Supreme Master Workman,
and will use it's utmost endeavors
to stir up the Subordinate Lodges
and get action among them as well
as establish new Lodges. There are
some good fields in this State for
missionary work in this line, and
we believe that with a live and
hustling deputy in the field for a
few months and the corporation OF
every Subordinate Lodge that our
membership could be nearly doubled
or ut least greatly increased.

Are You Awaref

Are you aware that if you insure
in an old-line company, the prem
ium you pay will he divided into
three nearly equal parts, called re-
spectively the mortality, expense
and reserve elements?
Are You aware that the so-called
reserve element is but another name
for a deposit which you make with
the company, in excess of the
amount necessary to carry your
risk, and which reduces the amount
of your insurance just so much;
that the company will use all such
deposits, with the interests on the
same, to pay, at your death, its own
obligation to your beneficiary?
Are you aware that large part
of an old-line paid up" consists of
this surplus deposit; that is, one
third ut age 36, one-half at age SO,
hence, the obligation is diminished
in Just those proportions?
Are you aware that when your
friend-who was insured under an
old-line policy-died, the greater
part of the money paid his widow
was his reserve element of his own
over-payments with interest; IN fact,
that he insured himself for more
than half the amount of his policy ?
Are you aware that you can pur-
chase pure insurance and avoid this
banking feature by insuring your
life where it is not necessary to
make these ver.payments, thereby
securing the same results at far
less cost?-K. & L. offs.

He has looked into it and con-
siders it good thing, but wants to
think it over while before signing
an application. He does a great
deal of thinking from time to time.
He says he does, but it may be that
he really does not dare to join the
Order, but he cannot say no, or
from his regard for you does not
like to-prefers to keep you string
ing alons-or perhaps some other
friend is trying to induce him to
join some other Order, and then he
tells you there are not such high
rates in it as in yours, and you
have to show him that your Order
does not cost so much; or, if it
does, is cheaper and better, has a
higher reserve, and will be the bet
ter for him in the long run. Pos
sibly you lose him after all you can
say, but you may have the good
fortune to finally get him to sign
an application. Then comes the
long, slow journey to the doctor.
Your applicant is busy, could not
go, had another engagement, or did
not think of it. Then he catches a
cold or goes on business trip. You
follow him up and succeed in get
ting him to the doctor within the
limit of time, and he passes the
Subordinate Examiner and in due
time the approval of the Supreme
is received and the applicant mott
fled to appear for initiation. If he
has paid the degree and examina'
tion fees, he is pretty sure to come
up for initiation within the pre-
scribed time, but in some cases ap'
plicants have to be looked after
with a great deal of care until they
are safely lodged in the council.

Is your Lodge taking any steps
toward increasing it's membership
during the coming Fall and Winter?
Each member is certainly interest
ed in procuring applications. 1t is
a matter of self-preservation. The
average age must be kept down,
the embership must increase or
the assessments will increase. Is
there any good reason why your
Lodge cannot get five, ten or more
members each month? You cannot
afford to do without them and they
cannot afford to do without the pro-
lection given by membership in
our Order. The fraternity and fell
lowship is worth all it costs, and in
no other way can man lay by
means for his family support with
so little cost. The A o. U. w. is
an ideal savings bank. AS an IN
stitution it is safe and reliable. Its
ability to pay is never questioned
and its promptness in meeting its
liabilities is matter of history. All
legitimate claims against the Order
are adjusted by the subordinate
Lodge and Grand Lodge without
causing the bereaved family any
anxiety or trouble. The Watchful
care and brotherly kindness shown
in sickness and distress are among
the benefits derived by the member
while living. Do your utmost to
extend these privileges and our pro-
lection to your friends. See that
no Lodge meeting is without initia-
tions.-Nebrdska Workman.

jeering children who cried, "See, these
people have no goitres," as if to be with
out goitre was physical deficiency.
Similarly, the prevalence of irregular
periods among young women, and the
commonness of debilitating drains
among married women have created
the mischievous idea that these are the
natural conditions of womanhood.
In normal health the periods should
be regular and painless and there should
be neither drains nor pains for the mar
ried woman. To regain that normal
condition of health is possible to every

WILL THOMAS SHOT
BY OFFICER ]. B. FAIR

About l o'clock yesterday-a fight among
some negroes in McLan's bar room in Sec
ond avenue between Twenty-sixth and
Twenty-seventh streets, was the cause of
Will Thomas, a negro man about 27 years
of age, being seriously and probably fatally
shot by officer ]. B. Fair Hearing a fight
going on in this saloon, Officer Fair entered
the place and located the trouble in the
wine room; this part of the saloon being
set aside "for ladies only" Opening the
door he found the place crowded with fight
ing negroes. The officer told the crowd
they would have to stop fighting, and Will
Thomas, the man who was shot, cursed and
abused the policeman roundly, and rallied
at the authorities in general. Being re-
monstrated with and still not obeying, Off
Ger Fair took hold of Thomas, when the
latter being a large man, forced Fair in a
corner and started in ito beat him over the
head. Fair stated to a reporter shortly af-
terward that he thought from the negro's
movements that he was trying to draw his
knife to cut him, and in order to protect
himself he drew his pistol and shot Thomas,
the two men being SO close at the time that
Thomas clothing caught fire from the dis
charging of Fairs pistol. In fact the two
men had hold of each other at the time the
shooting occurred, and Mr.. Fair states that
he had to reach round with his hand and
shoot the negro in the back, SO vise-like
was he held by Thomas.
Thomas was shot three times before he
loosed his hold on Fair and then broke
away and ran for the door, the officer talk
ing parting shot.

and was attended by DR.. R. E. Bankston.
Two bullets were found in the Negroes
clothing. DR.. Bankston probed for the
other bullet, but could not locate it. There
were two holes in the negroes back and two
in his stomach. His condition is serious,
and he was later removed to his home, hav-
ing given bond.
officer Fair at once gave himself up, and
was arrested, pending an investigation of
the negro's wounds. He was afterward re-
leased on bond.

SEVERAL SERIOUS ARRAYS
One Negro Shot and instantly Killed
Oyer One Hundred Arrests Were
Made During the Day-A Per-
feet Pandemonium.

Yesterday was a record breaker with the
police department. Five serious affrays,
with innumerable little ones, served to keep
the bluecoats on the hustle
In point of arrests and in diversity Of
charges, it far exceeded any previous
Christmas in the history of Birmingham,
not even excepting the old 'fooom" days,
when business in this line was very heavy.
Chief Austin and his men worked faith
fully from early morn to dewey eve, and
while some evil-doers may have escaped
arrest, they were enthusiastically small in
point of numbers. In fact yeoman service
on the part of the bluecoats was the order
of the day, and far into the night and
while no one was needlessly taken in GUS
tody, it is safe to assert that NO serious
offender escaped.
The patrol wagon and the mounted Off

so fatigued were the horses that at 2
o'clock Mayor Drennen issued an order for
new horses to take the place of the faithful
beasts, who had not been unhitched I'D to

More than one hundred arrests were
made and the city prison took on a busy
air, presenting more the appearance of a
slaughter house than a police station.

MURDER OR SUICIDE?
Two Young Men Mysteriously Disap-
pear at Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, N. Y, December 25.-This
evening two young men, whose names are
unknown, were driven to the Cliff above
the promenade at the Whirlpool Rapids on
the Canadian side of the river and were
lowered to the promenade. They did not
return in an hour and search was made
for them. No trace of the men could be
found and the police were notified.
Footprints of the two men in the snow
were followed to the extreme end of the
promenade toward the whirlpool. Farther
along the bank there were signs of a body
having fallen in the snow and the foot
prints of only one man could be discerned
Owing to the darkness the search had to
be discontinued, but men are stationed
along the river on watch for the appear
ance of either of the men.
The police are inclined to look on the
mysterious affair as a case of murder and
suicide or double suicide.
