handled by expert talent
brought from Chicago, while
the defense is ably represented.
The insurance company yester-
day sprang a surprise when
they filed papers to show the
Company was liable only for
the sum of $1,000 if liable at all.
The company cites their articles
of Incorporation showing the
company pays the sum of $25
per week for a specified num-
Der of weeks in cases of total
disability, the period not to ex-
coed 200 weeks. Mr.. Haver-
stock was ill forty weeks and
accordingly the company claims
they are liable only for 81, 900,

Good Record.

Speaking of the death Of Santa Fe
Engineer S. G. McFadden at the To
peka hospital, the Chanute Tribune
says:
"Mr. McFadden was about fifty
years Of age, and had been in the
service of the Santa Fe on this divis-
ion since September 81, 1882. He com
menced work at the bottom as a wip-
er and gradually worked his way mp
to the head Of that line OF service. In
March. 1884, he was promoted to fire
mans bench, and in the same month
five years later he made his first trip
as engineer. He leaves a wife and
several small children to mourn his
loss. The deceased had lived in Cha
mute for several years. and was a
member of the Methodist church. He
was also an active member In the b.
OF Z. E., /, 0. o. F., and A. o. p.
lodges. A tragic circumstance Incl
dental to his death is the fact that the
trip upon which the accident occur
red vas the first aAe made after a
half month lay-of."

FATS and OBSERVATIONS
Some Events In winchester.

On Saturday afternoon the writer
went TO Winchester to spend Sun
day with the family of T. NJ. Neil
downey, with whom his wife was
visiting.
AS soon as a visitor or stranger
steps from the train heis impressed |
with the city like appearances and
sounds in the electric street cars.
These come in good place just now
as that provision of the city char
ter which regulates the operation !
of steam boats and ferry boats in
the city of Winchester is inopera
tive, with the mud shoe top deep
on the crossings and still deeper in
the streets" We quote from one
of the city's own poets, and mean
no reflection on the city, others
may criticise
The business section of town on
Main street shows up well at nights.
The construction of the houses and
the electric lighting conspire to
this.
On Sunday we observed our usu-
alcustom, attending Sunday school
and morning and evening worship
Ut should not be thought strange
that an editor sometimes goes to

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN CLARKE co.
On Monday there was a meeting
Of the Democratic Committee in
Winchester. A decision was reach
ed to hold primary on May 8 to
nominate candidates for Represen-
tative and Circuit Court Clerk.
On April 4 the committee will
again meet and if there is only one
candidate for Representative the
same will be declared the nominee.
WE ARE FOR MONTGOMERY
MAN WILL REPRESENT CLARKE co.
On Monday there was large
crowd at Court in Winchester. The
sun shine and balmy weather were
suspicious omens for our school
mate and friend from boyhood,
Labe b. Cockrell, who announced as
a Democratic Representative for
Clarke Co. We feel safe in saying
that he will be the choice of his
county by an overwhelming vote, if
indeed he has any opposition. We
move that his nomination be made
unanimous.
Mr.. Cockrell needs no introduce
ton from us. He is a native of
this county, the oldest son of B. F.
Cockrell, of this city. For II years
he has lived in Clarke Co. and dur
ing the entire time he has been the
Democratic Committeeman of the
Wades Mill precinct. He is a
Christian gentleman, prosperous
and progressive farmer, intelligent,
social, hospitable, courteous, pop
ular and well qualified to honorably
represent his people.
Hurrah for Cockrell.
We had wished to have the OPP
portunity for hearing Rev. c. j.
Armstrong preach. His text for
the morning was "Take heed and
beware of covetousness, for mans
, life CONSISTENT not in the abun-
dance of the things which he pos
sesseth." On Sunday evenings he
is preaching a series of sermons
pertaining to young women in va
rious callings. His subject for the
evening was "The young woman in
business. P" He is a thoughtful,
earnest and interesting speaker. In
this congregation individual com
munion cups are used. On the Bird
. Sunday in February there will be a
meeting of the congregation to con
slider the erection of new church
building.
