DEFENDANT IS DEAD
Aetna Company Cannot Revive Action
Because No One Is Left to Sue.

~~>~ ~
FARGO, n, D.-Judge Amidon has
decided fine point against the point
against the Aetna Life Insurance com
pany. Knute Dahle, farmer, took out
a policy for $4,000 a year ago, and died
last July of consumption. The company
heard Of his illness and began an action
to cancel the policy on the ground Of
Misrepresentation in the application.
DAZZLE died shortly after the service of
the papers. ~
Judge Amidon was asked to make an
order reviving the suit, naming the ad-
ministrator as defendant, together with
the widow The court denied the mo-
ton, taking the view that the admins
traitor succeeded to no interest whatever
in the policy and that at bar there was
no one against whom to revive the suit.
The widow has already begun action to
recover and the move Of the company
was to make the case one of equity and
prevent trial by jury.

stolen horse and $105 from farmer,

Our Pettigrew has gone back
on Bryan as will be seen from
the following which he gave out
at St. Louis to a Chicago Chron-
icle reporter:
Mr.. Bryan has been the Jonah of
the democratic party for years. After
his last defeat we thought he would
be good. He went abroad and let his
light shine on the benighted peoples of
Europe. He might have continued Civ
ing lectures that would have been
harmless and ~inotfensive and have
done fairly we'll. But he was not sat-
isfied with that. He wanted to get
into politics again. He wanted to
talk. He wanted to mix with the
people and evidently he wanted to mix
up things generally. He planned to
come to South Dakota, for example,
although he wasn't wanted there.
Finally, after he insisted, we agreed
to let him come if he would not talk
about Is to |, but talk about imper-
ialism. He agreed, but when he came
he forgot all about imperialism and
talked 16 to l every minute.
Now, that is evident of Bryan's taste
politically. He poses as being the be-
ginning and end of political wisdom,
political sagacity and shrewdness, and
is here to tell the democratic party
just what to do. / say it is time to

One Of the most successful and
best attended summer schools ever
held at Simpson park is the one in
session there this month. The teach.
ers are there in force, there being 4Oa
teachers enrolled. These teachers
come from seven different states and
claim residence in twelve counties
in Minnesota and seven counties in
South Dakota. The classes are very
large and the general energy and inter
est shown by the student teachers is
a surprise to the outsider. Over SO
per cent are high school, normal or
college graduates. As the visitor
passes under the trees from class
room to class room he cannot help
but be impressed with the vast and
mighty influence exerted by this
young giant Of summer schools, in
ali channels of education. Every
mother and father should take a day
=. and spend it in visiting the classes
of this school.
