U BY AGENT.
Company Cannot Set Up Excessive
Valuation.

Valuation.
The supreme court has sustained
the lower court of Faulk county in the
proposition that when an insurance
agent sets the value upon property
placed in a policy the company is
barred from setting up the plea Of
o~verinsurance as a defense In case Of
q fire lass.
The case was that of E. d. Smith
Of Seneca, Faulk county, who "a car
rying a policy of $4,000 in the Mutual
Cash Guaranty company when he suf-
fered a total loss of his building and
stock of merchandise. 1t appears that
the insurance was taken out in May,
at which time the premium was paid,
and the loss occurred in November.
The company set up as defense that
the fire was incendiary, and the build
ing and stock o%verinsured. The trial
showed that Smith left Seneca the
morning before the fire, and was in
Redfield, sixty miles away, when it oc
Cured; that the valuations on the
property in the policy we're placed
there by the agent of the company,
who had reduced the building valua-
ton on request of Smith when he
wrote the policy, and that the pre-
MUM vas paid and receipted for and
the policy issued, and the court held
that it was good and should be paid.

Was BEST AND BIGGEST FAIR
PROVES AN IMMENSE SUCCESS
IN SPITE OF pisAGREEARLE
WEATHER.

st. Paul, Sept. 10.-The 1907 Mime
sofa state fair closed Saturday after a
most remarkable record. 1t was the
best and biggest fair ever held in the
country, the only drawback being the
weather. which was the worst of the
season in some respects. There We're
two days of the six which were
-. ali favorable, and the way the peo-
pie turned out in bad weather, espe-
clally on st. Paul day, was the best
possible evidence of the merit Of the
exhibition and the permanence it has
attained.
The attendance for this year was
approximately 10000 less than it was
a year ago. This decrease was prin-
cipally on the opening day, the fig
ures for this year being S2,049, com
pared with $3.50 for Monday a year
ago. Monday was a gloomy day, and
while the weather did nothing but
threaten, it was sufficiently unfavora-
Bile to keep many people away. Tues
day was also gloomy and held down
the crowds by about 5000. Wednes-
day was another poor day, being more
ftful, but the record for the day was
broken. Thursday, Old Settlers day,
brought on the second best attend
ance of the week and showed the best
gain. 1t was the only pleasant day of
the fair.
st. Paul day was the banner day Of
the week. 1t rained cats and dogs for
a time, but the citizens turned out in
spirited support of the institution,
there being only 1000 less attendance
b a ear ago.
1t was dark and gloomy Saturday,
but the total attendance Of the day
reached fully 10000, as compared with
26,466 a year ago.
Although the weather kept down
the attendance and likewise the re-
ceipts, the fair was a financial sue
cess. Secretary G. N. C%osgrove said
that the managers would feel fortu-
nate if the weeks undertaking netted
a gain of 100000. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that this years fair will clear
at least $50, 900.

Company. q
In the case of E. D. Smith VS.. the

pany, which came to the supreme
court from Faux county, the lower
court is affirmed in holding that an
insurance company cannot set up a
plea of yer insurance as a defense
against payment, when an agent of
the company himself set the values
on the property on which he was writ
ing a risk. A policy of $4,000 was
written on a building, stock and fix
lures of the mercantile business of
Smith at Seneca in Faulk county in
May OF last year. In November the
store was burned with a total loss,

he lncendiary plea showed no founda-
ton, n it was proven in court hat
the agent for the company set the val
ues on the property, even reducing
that of the building at the request of
Smith, and accepted the fee for the
policy, and on his showing the court
says the company is barred from set
ting up over insurance as it's defense.

FhArnacy CLERK is Found Serving
Soda to Imaginary Customer.
Before his sweetheart, who had
heard of his accident and was hurrying
to him, could reach his bedside, Nor
on Moses, the young son Of Sheriff,
William Moses of Butte county, died
at Speartish as the result of an over
dose of cocaine taken in mistake for
iodine.
Moses had not yet completed his
schooling, and was employed for the
summer months as a pharmacist in
the drug store of G. L. Smith. Re-
Gently he nearly lost the sight of one
eye through an explosion of chemicals
he was preparing in a prescription
and was suffering so much from the
eye that he got up in the night, and,
going down into the drug store,
reached in the dark for the bottle Of
iodine to alleviate the pain. Instead
he got the bottle Of cocaine which lay
beside it on the shelf and took a large
quantity.
Shortly afterward the proprietor was
awakened by hearing young Moses
shouting below. Rushing down he
found the boy a raving maniac dealing
out soda WAFER, ice cream and other
goods to specter customers in the
store. With the greatest of difficulty
the boy was put to bed and a ply
sician called, but in a few hours Moses
died in agony. He was twenty years
old and a graduate Of the Spearfish
normal school, and n Of the most
popular boys in town.
He a engaged to be married to
Miss Emma Hodgkins of Terry, who
is nearly crazed with grief.

LONE MAN "Llcks" FIVE.
Fierce Fist Fight on Depot Platform
at Miller.

at Millor.
A fist fight of great ferocity between
one man and five antagonists occurred
on the depot platform at Miller a mo-
ment after the %west-bound passenger
train pulled in, causing a scattering of
women and children and a general
commotion during the two minutes
that the train stopped.
The five men had been quarreling
IN the train as it came east, and when
it stopped they got off and dared the
other to come out and fight. He &C
cepted the challenge hurriedly, and as
his foot struck the platform, struck
right and left at the five, who, with
fists flying, were trying to hit him.
The lone man seemed to be the best
knocker, and soon had one of the five
rolling toward the car wheels, with
the other four on their knees or down
most of the time. Finally, in his des-
peration to win out against the lone
fighter n Of the five drew a long
whisky bottle from his pocket and
struck the lone man on the head with
it, cutting his face f%earfu,ly, though
not Telling him, the liquor splitting in
all directions on the few b%ystanders
who remained near. Pieces of the
glass flew about and one bit landed in
the eye of n of the five fighters and
had to be taken out later by a doctor.
The train whistle footed and the vic
torlous fighter caught the real end OF
the car and went with the train, the
five remaining in Miller to be fined SO
apiece the next day.

TO REFUND
Sioux Falls is Planning to Get Rid Of
8 900

Sioux Falls is Planning to Get Rid Of
$4,000 Burden.
The board of education of Sioux
Falls is planning to refund $4,000
worth Of floating warrants which now
are outstanding. When the PROPOSE.
tion first was agitated a few years ago
and something like $500 had been ex-
pended, the bonding company which
was the successful bidder for the pro-
posed refunding bonds refused to ac-
cept them, claiming that many of the
warrants which it was intended to re-
fund were illegal for the reason that
more warrants were issued each year
than a levy had been made for. Profit
ing by that experience the board of
educ alton during recent years has
kept within the levy, so that all the
present floating warrants are legal. 1t
is probable that a special election
soon will be called for the purpose Of
voting upon the proposition of refund
ing the present floating warrants.

GRAIN BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
Hail Cuts Total Yield, but Crop Shows
Up Well.

Hdi' Suts otai fielo, but Crop Shows
UP Well.
The result of the crop year through
THIS state is commencing to show
through the results of threshing,
which now is being carried on in all
the surrounding counties. In this
county and to the west and north in
various sections the yield has been
cut down an appreciate extent owing
to the devastating hailstorms which
passed through here along the middle
of July.
One man in Aurora county was the
most unfortunate with the hailstorms,
four of which passed over his farm
within two weeks. The first took about
half of the crop, and the second prac-
tically finished it. After that two
more hailstorms visited his farm, but
there was nothing left in the way Of
small grain to be destroyed.
Outside of tn ehailed district the
wheat n oats are making a good
showing, better than was anticipated
with the late season TO start with. In
this county wheat is ranging from ten
to sixteen bushels, while oats are
~threshing out between forty and fifty
bushels per acre. An Illinois farmer
was here this week, and he stated that
the oats in this vicinity were far
ahead of that grain through Illinois
n Indiana; that they averaged more
per acre and weighed out heavier.
Out on the Sioux reservation wheat
n oats are making a splendid show
Ing, and the report of a farmer near
Kennebec was to the effect that his
wheat averaged twenty-four bushels
per acre, yielding him 1000 bushels Of
No. l wheat. The oats are showing
just as heavy a proportionate yield.
The corn crop on the reservation
however, is going to be light this sea-
son. This result comes from most Of
the corn being planted on sod, and
with ~thescarcity of rain at the proper
time 1t has not developed the same
that it did last year under more moist
conditions.

science on the divore evil, and the con-
vention pledged itself to do all in it's
power by right AL to educate the
people of the state on the evils of di-
vorce, and censured the recent use of
