Policy Holds Good.

foAAcy h0l0s GOOD.
Judge A. H. Mcvey, OF this district,
has just decided that q clause in an In
surance policy which provides that the
policy shall become null and void If
the beneficiary engages in blasting,
mining, handling Of dynamite, ETC.,
does not apply to the use, a single
time. of dynamite. In this case the
policy holder undertook to blow cas-
ing out an abandoned well. The
charge killed him. The company re-
fused to pay the policy on account Of
the clause mentioned. The court holds
that the handling of dynamite single
time, as in this case, will not vitiate a
policy Of the character described.

Across the border in Mexico the sport
is carried on in every hamlet and town
and nearly every Mexican has game
cock and participates in cock fighting
on holidays and all days.
Mr.. Macoy, who has made q study OF
game chickens, finds northern birds are
cooler fighters than those of the south
IN the south there is little profanity
heard about the game pit and no vulgar
talk. The women do not attend the cock
ing mains to any great extent. and yet L
have seen as many as half dozen at the
big battles in Vicl1sburg. There IS alto
gether a different atmosphere about the
things in the south.
Down in Mexico cooking is all the rage

for a cock and If it is killed go cheerfully

u have always thought the bump Of
cOmbativeness was put in the game chick
en- for purpose, and that purpose IS IN
doubtedly fighting The chickens like to
fight and enter into the thing with an
honest purpose to win.
Cooking Is as exciting as horse racing
and is on the square They fight to a. nm
ish and won't shirk- There is no way OF
doping them. 1t is the squarest sport n
the face of the earth. Game chickens are
the earnest things that have life in them.
They are quicker than electricity. 1t IS
almost impossible to get good photographs
of game cocks. They are so nervous and
the cOmbative instinct is so highly devel-
oped that they are never still a minute
Some people profess to think cooking IS
a cruel sport. For my part 1 can not see
how it is more cruel than shooting NAL
lard duck and allowing it to tumble down
in the reeds and die in slow agony from
its wounds or starye to death
Mr.. Macoy has extensive breeding Yards
at his country place Realization at Paw
Paw. Mich He has about one hundred
cocks and from sixty to seventy hens he
has bred game pits since 1874 and has
made a thorough study OF game chickens.
The chickens are nearly all raised on his
own farm although he has imported q
number of expensive birds. Last fall ne

AT M'FARLAND'S DOOR.
Mayor Parker Insists He Caused
JailOr Morgan's Condition.

Jailer d. H. Morgan, of the Topeka
police force, is seriously sick at his
home in POtWin as the result of worry
and sleeplessness during the past week.
Saturday night at 1880 o'clock Mr..
Morgan was standing at his desk in the
Jail Office when ne was suddenly strick
en- as with paralysis. He fell forward
on the desk and became rigid, and Night
Sergeant Morris Jenkins, the only one
present at the time. went to his as
sistance. and finding that he could not
arouse him. ran out and called Patrol
Driver William White. who lives one
door north of the station. When he re-
turned Morgan had fallen to the floor
but his body was still rigid, and Ser
geant jenkins feared that he was dying.
Three or four physicians We're hastily
summoned, and Patrol Driver White
made a record breaking trip out to City
Physician Judd's home in the patrol
wagon. Doctors Judd. Ellnger and
Buckmaster worked over the uncon-
scious man for a time and then he was
taken to his home in POtWin in the pa
troll wagon. he dld not recover con-
seriousness until Sunday morning, when
he still seemed to be wandering in his
mind and talked about his head, de-
claring that some one had struck him on
the head, and asking the doctors to feel
the dent in his skull. At other times he
wandered back to his duties at the po-
lice station and added columns of fig
11res The physicians attribute his
sudden attack to mental strain, as there
is no sign of an injury on his head
where he thinks his skull is broken, and
he has never been subject to anything
of the kind His condition was reported
slightly better this morning, but no one
is allowed to see him. Several police
officers, among them. Chief Donovan
and the two sergeants, called at the
house yesterday. but were told by the
physicians that no one could see Mr.
/ Morgan.
The police are much excited over Jail
er Morgan's case, and declare that il
was brought on by worry about the
Mcfarland charges. Mayor Parker is
of the same opinion, and when he called
at the station Sunday for news of Nor
CAMS condition, said. "Dr. Mcfarland
can have the satisfaction of knowing
that his libel has claimed one victim
At the investigation Friday Morgan
broke down and cried like a child, his
nerves were so badly unstrung. He is Z

SEASIDE CAMP MEETING.--The
Salvation Army began a 10 days camp
meeting at Seaside last night, the big
tent being pitched on the grounds of
the Grimes hotel. 1t seems that there
was some dispute between the owners
of the land as to the renting of the
property to the army people, but the
parties favorable to the idea at last
prevailed and the ground was let.
When yesterday morning the posts sup
porting the ent were found to be cut
down, letting the tent down in con-
fused heap, it was believed by many
people that some of the ardent
supporters of hose who were turned
down were the offenders. The Saliva
tion people, however, cheerfully went
TO work, placed new poles, erected the
tent, and have evinced no desire to
prosecute their tormentors. So the
matt ar win doubtless be dropped un-
less further trouble should arise,
which is not unlikely. considering the
feeling in the matter.
