Sues for Insurance.

Miss Alice Barnett, the BENEFICIARY
named in ;he life insurance policy
held by the late Robt. Sea in the
Knights & Ladies of the Fireside
lodge, has, through her attorney,
John W. Haughey, filed suit in the
district court TO recover $1,000, the
amount of the policy, from the lodge.
Robt. Sea became a member of the
lodge some three years before his
death, and took out life insurance in
the sum Of $1,000. Miss Alice Barnett
OF this city, was named as sole bene-
fciary. At the breaking out of war
between the United States and Spain,
he went to Topeka and enlisted in the
Twentieth US. infantry. He was
with Shafter's army in the campaign
before Santiago, and soon after the
surrender of TOrals army, returned to
MODtauk Point, Ii. From there he
Was transferred with his regiment to
Fort Leavenworth, this state, to
await mastering out orders. While
In camp at LeavenwOrth last October,
he was taken sick with malaria, con.
tracted while in Cuba, and died after
a short illness.
Proof of bis death was made Nov
ember 2S and forwarded to the head
quarters of the lodge to secure pay
ment Of the life insurauce. Tie
policy under which the suit brought
contains no clause prohibiting the
holder from taking the extra hazard
GUS risk Of going to war. However,
as soon as war was declared, the pro
hibitOry clause was put in all policies
written by the lodge tom that time
ON. The plaintiffs attorney claim,
thet this does not effect the validity
of the policy held by Sea. The lodge
here accepted money paid for his dues
and assessments, and the latter were
in turn accepted and receipted for by
the treasurer Cf the grand lodge.

ped by private inspection, instead Of
"oficial" inspection.
1t does not make any difference 10
the grain business, Whether the grain
is inspected by an official or private
inspector, so long as the inspection is
reliable and the buyer and seller have
confidence in the ability OF the man
who does the inspecting. When
wheat is inspected by an official in
spector, the dealers are required to
pay 25 ceuts per car into state fund,
out OF which the officia! Inspector and
his deputies are paid. When the
wheat is inspected by a private in
spectOr, the grain dealers are not
required to pay this money to the
state, but can use it to pay for a priv
ate inspectors services. This is what
the Wellington grain dealers will do.
The value Of wheat inspected at
this place daily, it being the second
shipping point in the state, runs mp
into the thousands Of dollars, and an
inspection fee Of % cents car will
amply pay for the services OF the
private inspector. The regular in
spectOr will get nothing for his SER
vices unless there is always a surplus
in the state fund. As the state
aDpropriates no money to pay the
inspectors, but depends upon the fees
for official inspection, Mr.. Horne does
not stand very good show Of drawing
salary.
The grain men claim that their
action will not hurt Wellington as a
graio shipping point, but instead,
will prevent possible harm. Grain
shippers at different points in tie
state, whose confidence in Inspector
Thompson has resulted in big iu-
crease 10 the business done here, have
been writing to the local dealers about
the matter. They expressed the Wish
that Thompson be retained here, as
they were unwilling to try a new and
inexperienced inspector. Their in
fuence is largely responsible for the
action OF the grain men last night

To Ignore Him.

The Wellington grain dealers and
millers held a meeting last night and
decided to ignore the appointment Of
J.C. F. Horne as deputy grain inspec-
tor for this district, and employed W.
f. Thompson as private Inspector.
This means that the new inspector,
when he assumes the office, will flnd
nothing to do. Mr.. Horne is iu the
city today, and intends to succeed
Thompson asofficial inspector Monday
morning, 1t is safe to say that he
will not inspect single car Of grain
at this point, no matter how long he
NAV hold the Office or how hard he

f. Thompson, the old inspector, will
continue as if his successor had never
been appointed. The only difference
this will make is that hereafter wheat

"One OF the most disastrous runa-

1.-The runaway team was being
driven by Charles Bell, who is deaf
and dumb The horses were pair OF
handsome, high headed bays, attached
to two seated surrey.
"They made a dash down Main
street with the pole on the ground.
They finally were divid d by going on
opposite sides Of a street car pole ano
from there on the horses took each
side Of the street and made one OF the
widest runs down Main street ever
witnessed. They seemed TO be be-
wildered by the number OF convey
ances that lined both sides OF the
street. They brushed several OF the
carriages so close that the hair 0n the
side oil one Of the bOrses was rubbed
OF TO the hide, but no other serious
damage was done until the hOrsts S got
TO the corner of Main and Douglas,
where the teams and people were
crossing in all directions. The horses
become confused aud dashed into
everything that was in their path
Que horse made plunge into wagon
loaded with coal, and crushed it down.
The other horse made dash for the
sidewalk at the Boston store corner
and reared up on his hind legs, as If
to make a leap over the heads OF Mrs.
Balding and her little boy, who
were in the city on a shopping trip
from wellington. Mrs Balding Tried
to avoid the horse by eaning over her
little son, and in doing as she did
probably saved the life of herself and

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one

laxative.

command of the gunboat Petrel at the
battle OF Manila bay.
Wood wa ordered to command the
Petrol December 16, 1896, and it was
while in that command that he earned
the highest praise of Dewey and his
brother officers. The Petrol is the
FINEST of gunboats, and without pro-
lection beyond a steel deck. Because
of her light draft Wood saw his oppor,

shore off the entrance to the harbor at
iCav;te during the battle of Manilo
bay. The Spanish ships that re.
manned afioat had sought shelter un
der the guns of the forts at Cayite
and Dcwey's ships could not get at
them. The little Petrol, however
steamed boldly into the harbor Ell.
trance, sunk the remaining boats and
then paid her respects to the Spanish
forts in such q fashion as to silence
them. The exploit was a remarkable
exhibition of cool daring and skill, and
Woods brother officers made no Sc
cret of the belief that his feat was the
most daring and skillful of any con-
rected with that memorable naval
battle. The board of naval rewards
recommended that "for his eminent
and conspicuous conduct in the battle
Commander Wood be advanced ten
numbers i'll his grade," and although
this vas a higher measure of reward
than bestowed upon any other captain
did not withhold it. Com
mander Wood was detached from the
Asiatic station December 81, 1898, and
coming home was, after n short leave
of absence, placed in charge of the
Baltimore lighthouse district.
