Suicides Not Entitied to Insurance.

In a decision In the United States
district court at Kansas City. Judge
John r. Phillips held that insurance
companies may enforce the anti-suicide
clause where previously entered into by
the insured. The decision was In the
case of James Whitfield, q newspaper
sporting writer who killed himself. He
was insured for IS. 1000, receiving . pol
icy that contained a clause specifying
that only $500 should be recovered In
case of suicide. Although the statutes
of Missouri declare that insurance COM
panies may not make suicide O defense
in refusing to pay a policy, Judge
Phillips held that 'as the pleading of
the contract in question, voluntarily
entered into by the parties, goes mere
ly to the question Of the amount Of
the recovery, and not to the defeat OF
the recovery, the conclusion Is that
the plaintiff is only entitled to recover
the sum Of $780,"

Indian Trouble

Indiau Trouble
The commissioner Of Indian afairs
at Washington received the following
telegram from Indian Agent Brennan,
who Is at Newcastle. Wyo.:
Report Of Indian trouble here exag-
gerated. From best information at
hand thirty-fve miles north of Lusk
a fight occurred between officers and
some twenty Indians, some Of them
from Pine Ridge. Seven Indians, in
GLIDING n sluaw, were killed; also
sheriff and one deputy. About ten In
dian families under arrest here. will
take them to agency. In my opinion
a mistake was made In precipitating
tho fight. Would recommend that
United States attorney Of this district
be directed to act on behalf Of Depart
ment. make a thorough investigation.
Am assured by officers Of this country
that no further trouble will occur"
The Indian Office sympathizes with
the view that the whites were the ag-
gressors and will recommend to Sec

some additional protection and the act
provided that II should be unlawful to
kill those birds at any time OF the
zeal until November I, 1908. The act
desienates the month Of November a.
the only month during which they may
be killed. After abstaining for more

Usuai Hounds Of Dscency.
Governor Bailey has received q re-
port In the imbecile asylum case, in
which 1t was alleged that there had
been neglect On the part Of the asylum
authority at Winfield, Kan, in the
preparation for burial of Lizzie Smell.
a colored girl in the asylum from
Spring Hill, johnson county, who died
recently.
Some time ago Governor Bailey re-
ceived q communication from the trus-
tee of Spring Hill township stating that
the body Of the girl had been received
In a condition that showed It had not
been properly prepared for burial; that
1t was clad in a dirty calico dress. and
that the undertaker's charges were
very excessive, and that the coffin pro-
vided was only q cheap box. Governor
Bailey at once ordered an investigation
OF tho case made.
He received a letter from II. ]. AL
len, chairman Of the state board of
charities, stating that he had been to
see Mrs. Mary Smell. mother of the
girl, at Spring Hill, and that Mrs. Sneil
said the only things she complained
OF were the undertaker's charges and
the COnultlOn OF the ureSS. one nOugn
a shroud ought to have been supplied.
Mr.. Allen also enclosed a copy Of a
contract between the board of charities
and johnson county, showing that the
county furnishes the clothing for its
inmates in the imbecile asylum.
Accompanying the letter Of Mr.. Allen
were statements by G. S. Newton. su-
perintendent of the asylum, and a num-
Der Of attendants, and also one from T.
l.. Axtell of Winfield, the undertaken in
the case. These letters stated that the
dress in which the body was clothed
was woollen and was accompanied by
a number of other garments, all of
| which had been laundered the same as
the clothing for all inmates and en-
| ployes of the asylum are washed; that
the body was suitably prepared for
burial. and that the coffin was a good
one for the price. Superintendent New
lon also stated that 1t Is not customary
to order shrouds for deceased inmates
unless they are ordered and the ex-
pense is guaranteed by the relatives.
The un%dertaker's bill was as follows:
Coffin, SIS; outside box, 50; embalming.
So: transportation. 81; express charges.
$12.36. The coffin vas said to have had

One Misfortune Ovsrt.kss Another.

Kansas farmers on the north side OF
the Kansas river who suffered from the
food are now unable to secure hands
to husk the corn that was planted and
grown since the food.
The shortage of men Is affecting the
farms quite as much as anyone else.
Many farmers have offered men three
cents a bushel and their board to husk
corn. The usual price is two cents a
bushel without board. The farmers also
offer to furnish the teams and wagons
but men al not be had even at that
price. In fields that were flooded last
June corn will yield so blu. per acre. In
fields not flooded the yield will be as
high as 80 bushels per acre. Farmers
both on the north and south sides OF
the river, In the valleys and on the
upland, say that the yield Of corn. ex-
cept in a few localities. will be very
heavy.
