He was sterling Democrat and
gave his unwavering allegiance to the

Josh Carly was no orator, and in
this respect lacked one element Of a
we'll rounded lawyer. Had he been as
good a speaker as he was a judge of
law he would have been almost irwin
chile.
We regarded him as a lawyer of high
honor, unable to stoop to do a low,
mean thing to gain a practice.
He took sick at Greenville during
the regular February circuit court but
refused to give up until some four
weeks ago. DR.. Bryson, of St. Louis,
who first prescribed for him and who
visited him once here at his home,
pronounced his trouble to be endo-
carditis with a malarial complication.
His home physician, DR.. L. w. Cotton,
gave him close attention, but nothing
that was done for him seemed of any
avail. He continued TO grow worse
and his death had been expected at
any hour for several days. His mind
gave way and for several days he lay
in a muttering delirum. He was very
much emaciated, so much so that his
body would have scarcely weighed 75
pounds.
According to his request his body
was taken in charge by the Masonic
order of which he was a prominent
member, taken to Ironton and there
laid to rest in the Masonic Cemetery
beside the body of his father who died
some three years ago. He was mem

Joshua Cowan Carly.
(From the Piedmont Banner. }

(From the Piedmont Banner.)
Joshua Cowan Carly, son of A. j..
and Elvira Love Carly, was born on a
farm near Irontou, Mo-, June 4, 1865,
and died in Piedmont Tuesday, April
25, 1899. aged 33 years. 10 months
and 81 days. When he was about two
years old his parents moved to Rey-
nolds county and remained some ten
years when they returned to their old
home near Ironton. In early life Josh
las his friends loved to call him)
evinced great power of intellect and
his parents took special pains to give
him every advantage within their
power. After attending the public
schools of his home he was sent to
Carleton College at Pennington, and
later to William Jewell College at
Liberty. After completing his course
there he entered the law department
of the Washington University at S..
Louis and graduated from that institu-
ton June Is, 1889. He moved to Van
Buren, ct once and opened up a law
Office. He took high rank as a lawyer
from the very beginning, and was
looked upon by the older members of
the bar as young lawyer of whom
they might expect great things. In
1899 he married Mrs.
Louisa RemnitZ. a widow with two
Cora and Mabel, both of
whom are now developing into sweet
and graceful women. In the spring
of 1892 Mr.. Carly and family moved to
this place and soon thereafter formed
a law partnership with John H. Raney,
the firm ''Raney & Carly being well
and favorably known all over South
east Missouri. The firm was dissolved
by mutual consent last year.
Josh Carly was man of strong in
tellect, one prominent feature of it be-
ing his wonderfully retentive memory.
He seemed to never forget anything he
heard or read. While his intellect
was strong it was also clear, and he
seem able to look through a PROPOSE
tion and thoroughly analyse its every
feature. When he gave an opinion on
a question OF law it had great weight
with both the members of the bar as
we'll as with the judge on the bench.
His friends regarded him as peculiarly
fitted for a seat on the bench and hoped
to see him some day judge OF this cir
cult. He was cool, dispassionate, log

THE st. Louis Court of Appeals, says
the st. Louis PoSt-Dispatch, has given
the trusts body blow. 1t has ruled
that trust cannot cloak it's objects
under the form of a corporation and
evade the penalties provided for viola
tions of the antitrust law of 1891. In
der the decision, ACCOUNTS with trusts
operating as corporations are outlawed
and not collectabie. The decision was
handed down Tuesday. 1t was written
by Judge Henry w. Bond. Judges
Biggs and Bland concurred. The suit
in which the decision was given has
been pending two years. 1t has been
watched all over the country. The
decision makes the way straight for
the Attorney General of Missouri to
proceed against corporations, the OBJ
jects of which are those OF a trust. 1t
will probably result in many refusals
TO pay debts to trusts which operate as
corporations. In 1897 the S. Z. Grote
Paint Store Co. owed the National
Lead Co. $1,000 for white lead. The
corporation" had been trying to alb
sorb the company. The company had
stayed out of the combination. Suit
was brought to recover the $500 and
incidentally, it is claimed, to harass
the company. The defense was that
the National Lead Co. was a trust,
formed to control prices, in violation
of the provisions of the antitrust law
of 1891, one section of which reads:
sAny purchaser of any article or
commodity from any individual, CON-
pany or corporation, transacting bust
ness contrary to the preceding sections
of this act shall not be liable for the
price or payment of such article or
commodity aud may plead this act as
defense to any suit for such price or
payment"
The case was tried before Judge Hir-
Eel and jury at Clayton, and the jury
gave a verdict in favor of the National
Lead Co. The S. E. Grote Paint Store
Co. appealed. The decision handed
down Tuesday reverses and remands
the case for retrial.
