WARREN INSURANCE CASE.


In deciding the case of the John Han
cock Mutual Life Insurance Company
against VIM. M. Warren, the United
States Supreme Court affirmed the
validity of section 1925 of the Revised
Statutes of the State of Ohio, providing
that no answer to an interrogatory made
by an applicant for a life insurance policy
shall bar the right to recover unless it is
proved that such answer was fraudu-
lently made. The decision was in favor
of Warren and in handing it down Chief
Justice Fuller remarked that sit was for
the Legislature of Ohio to define the pub
lie policy of that State in respect to life
insurance and to impose such conditions
on the transaction of business by life
insurance companies within the State as
was deemed best

Denver, Col, June 25.-According to

killed his squaw. He then built a fire
and placed the dead body upon it,
after which he shot himself, falling
dead into the fire. Mccormick, who
was an educated Indian, objected to
the guardianship of the Indian agent,
claiming he was a free American cit
izen. He resisted when attempts were
made to arrest him for drunkenness
and while enraged at the officers
killed his squaw and himself. 1t is
understood at Albuquerque that the
Wallapai Indians are in an angry
mood on account of the murder and
suicide, laying the crime to mistreat-
ment of the Indians by the whites,
and may cause trouble.

FREIGHT RATES.
Merchants to Apply to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for Relief from
Increased shipping Charges.

Chicago, June 26.-The Tribune
says: Prominent western merchants,
all heavy shippers of merchandise,
are preparing to call to account for
the interstate commerce commission
the heads of the various railroad com
binatiOns and the community of in
terests'' alliances of the trunk lines
Of the country. Charges are made
that, following these movements Of
consolidation, freight rates have
been advanced from 30 to so per cent.
through quiet and organized manipu-
lation of the various classifcations of
commodities. Merchandise formerly
in class has been placed under class
?, with a consequent increase of 80
per cent. in shipment charges, and 50
on through the voluminous tabulated
classifcatiOns of all commodities.
Behind the movement to attack this
scheme of freight advances by ap-
plying to the interstate commerce
commission for relief lies the plan
for a still more vigorous blow. The
compliments intend to press a de-
mand that congress shall take a
hand in forcing the formation of a
uniform classification of freight,
which shall be effective on every rail-
road In the United States.

tied by a FrightfuI Storm and
Several Are killed.

Omaha, Neb-, June 23.-Special dis
patches from Naper, Neb., coming via
Stuart, Neb-, because Of disruption OF
communication, tell of the frightful
work of tornado which visited that
vicinity. The following series of dis
patches have so far been received:
One of the most destructive tOrnadoes
to human life that ever occurred in
Nebraska crossed down the Keya Paha
river. One family of seven, named
Greening, are all killed, and out of an
other family of six two are killed and
the balance, except the father, are IA
tally injured.
The little town of Naper is almost
entirely destroyed. The people gath
cred in the few buildings left standing,
among them a church and schoOlhOuse
and provisions and clothing are be-
ing sent in from surrounding towns.
One peculiar incident of the storm was
the case of Rev. 7. z. Barnes, who
was in his barn preparing to drive
across the country when the storm
struck. The barn was lifted bodily and
shattered to fragments, but Mr.
Barnes and the horses escaped without
injury.
At Badger, the cyclone demolished
three residences and several small
buildings. Mrs. James Pershal, wife
of a prominent ranchman and owner
of the Badger mills, was so badly
frightened as a result of the storm
that she died a few hours later. Later
reports indicate that the storm ex-
tended throughout the upper EIkhorn
and Keya Paha valleys, doing much
damage to crops.
