FALsEHooD ANNULs A POLICY.
United States Appellate Court Holds
Insurance Auree meut Invalid,


The validity of an insurance policy de-
ponds on the truthful answer TO questions
prOpounded by the company when appli-
cation for insurance is made, according
to an opinion handed down by the United
States Court of Appeals at st. Louis in
the case of John O.. Meyers, administra-
tor of the estate of Paul Il. Swetlick,
against the Home Life Insurance Com
pany of New York. The plaintiff was Il
Kansas farmer, who died in November,
1892, and his heirs sought to recover
$4,000, in which amount his life was in
sured. At the trial it developed that
when Swetlick applied for the policy he
denied he had any other insurance, when
in reality he had. The Circuit Court
found for the plaintiff and the insurance
company appealed the case. Judge Ell
mer b. Adams, who delivered the Appel
late Courts decision, remanded the case
to the Circuit Court for Il new trial.

New Y1Tk line is in an extremely

many factors which always develop IN

lHtlE bbohS are lbuutu with AllNlu Ut pltNa

to come. The scarcity of motive power
and of cars has become a serions factor
in the iron and steel situation. Western
furnaces are suffering from A scarcity OF
coke and coal. and three in this section
are idle. as the coke cannot be moved
from Eastern furnaces to keep the West

are also materially restricted, some hay

The big rush for holiday goods with
jobbing houses is over, but reass0rbing
orders, not only for fancy articles hut

and all houses are busy. Mild weather
