NEW RULING ON INSURANCE
Intemperance of Decedent Vltiates
Policy in FrnternaI Conn
panies.
CFrom a stan CORRESPONDENT

(FrOm STAN Correspondent
DIES MONIES. Ia, oct. 19-CSpeclal.)-
The supreme court today decided that a
beneficiary Of fraternal insurance COM
pany cannot break the rules OF the society
and indulge in intemperance and then col
lect the life insurance. 1t holds that even
though the fraternsl insurance company
continues to accept the payments ami
assessments It is not liable for the death
claim If the member breaks the rules and
uses liquor to excess The case was thai
of Ella Knapp against the Brotherhood Of
American Yeomen, on an appeal from tho
Linn county district court. It was shown
that Knapp was Incorporate at the time
he signed the application for membership
and that he made a false statement in that
respect. The district court found for the
plaintiff but the supreme court today re-
versed this on the ground of error and on
the ground that a fraternal insurance COM
pany, being charitable concern is not
bound by the same rules as a regular life
insurance company and so Is not bound to
pay a death claim even though 1t received
the payments of the assessments up to the
death of the insured.
Paul forces today raised s., 600 to prosecute
the fight for the deposed grand foreman

vention agreeing to withdraw from the
race as a candidate for grand foreman II
Koch, the man put in the position by the
board OF directors after Paul was deposed,
would also withdraw. Koch refused. The
matter will now be fought out at the Colo
RADIO Springs conclave.
General Nelson A. Miles, U. s. A., re-
tired made a flying visit to Fort Des Moines
today to visit his son, Lieutenant Miles,
and then continued his trip to Chicago. He
came from attending the horse show at
Kansas City and was in the city not more

CRESTON, Ia, Oct. 19.-(Special THE
forenoon session OF the district court yes
terday was occupied in hearing a motion
| from the defense for the dismissal of the
case against Clyde Dunning for fraudulent
/ banking on the ground that the drawing Of
the grand jury that returned the indictment
was illegal, The defense sets up the claiIa
that the grand jury was empanelled on the
! first day of the term, instead of the second
as the law provides, and therefore that the
| indictment will not hold. Also that four OF
the members of the grand jury that re-
turned the indictment were depositors in
the Day Dunning bank and therefore
prejudiced against the defendant; and also
that the box from which the panel was
drawn held only eleven names instead of
| twelve, as the law provides. For these
reasons 1t is asked that the Indictment be
declared defective and the case dismissed
The attorneys for the defense this morning
and Immediately after dinner argued these
points before the court
The court oveTruled the motion to dis
miss and the case went to trial this after
noon, and the talesmen are now being ex-
| amined with view OF getting the fury to
try the case. County Attorney H. NJ Fry

Public Schools ODen.

The public schools Of the county were
opened for the session Of 1865 on
Monday morning and reports from
many of them are most encouraging to
the superintendent of the county who
has laoored hard to get the best teach
ers for the great work to be done.
The attendance on opening day was as
large as in former years and bearing
the exchange of books which the law
requires everything moved off without
friction or delay. One feature that
is most gratifying and one we are
pleased to note is the improvement and
in the school house Of the county.
These houses have not been provided
with all the comforts that children
need and should have while at school.
The patrons have made considerable
Improvement and we are glad to know
that that the children are more COM
