SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court at it's
session on Tuesday of this week handed
down n number of decisions, four Of
which were in cases appealed to it from
this circuit. First in Importance in
these cases and the one involving the
largest amount of money, was that of
the Mantowoc Clay Product Company
w. Manitowoc, Green Bay q North
western Railway Company. This was
condemnation proceeding instituted
by the Railroad Company to procure
right way for its tracks through the
property of the Manitowoc Clay Prod
net Company, located just west of the
city limits. The case was tried in the
circuit court here at the January term
in 1906 and verdict was rendered in
favor of the Clay Product Company for
Sl3, 800 If the court should be of the
opinion that the company had to accept
crossing of the right of way under its
tracks from the Railroad Company, and
iol tut ruul VI TbD, 'oD III tHHt uD SUCH
crossing could under the law be com
PEELED to be furnished. Both the Clay
Product Company and the Railroad
Company appealed from the decision
and in its judgment the Supreme Court
aftirms this decision and holds that the
Clay Product Company is entitled to the
sum OF $l3 800 and "a crossing under the
tracks of the Railroad Company on its
property. The Clay Product Company
was represented by HouRen & Brady
and p. fl, Martin oe Green Bay, and
the Railroad Company by Il. M, Hyzer

said to be the largest ever rendered in
the circuit court here in suit for dam
ages.

DIED

The following notice of the death OF
Richard p. Cody is taken from the Stur-
geon Bay Advocate:
In this city, March 4, 1908, RICHARD
P. CODY, passed away in the fifty. seven
tn year Of his age.
The announcement of the death of Mr..
Cody, although not wholly unexpected,
was nevertheless a great shock to this
community, in which he had so long
lived and was so greatly esteemed. He
was first taken i'll about seven weeks
ago, and it was at first hoped that his
ailments were not of serious nature.
Three weeks ago specialist was sum-
moned from Chicago and he pronounced
the trouble cancer of the throat. He
bore up manfully under the affliction,
and remained conscious until the very
last. Death occurred at 1890 p. IN. The
funeral will take place from the resid-
ence at 10 o'clock Saturday morning,
and be under the direction of the
Knights of Pythias.
Mr.. Cody was born in Ireland August
II, 1851, and his parents emigrated to
America in the early winter of the same
year, and in May following located in
Manitowoc county. Having passed
through the common schools, followed
by course in the state normal, Mr.
Cody himself became teacher, but
subsequently entered the law Office of
H. G. & w. j. Turner in the city of
Mauitowoc, and be was admitted to the
bar in 1881. Coming to Sturgeon Bay
in the same year this has been his home
ever since. Mr.. Cody has filled the Of
flee Of prosecuting attorney also held
other positions of responsibility and
trust, the duties of which We're perform
ed with ability and fidelity in every in
stance.
June %, 1888, Mr.. Cody was united in
wedlock to Miss Sadie Z. Marsh of Osh-
kosh, and this union has been most
happy one. A daughter, Miss Irene, to-
gether with the wife and two brothers
james of Manitowoc and Joseph of
Chicago and one sister, Mrs. Katherine
Thompson of DeerbI ook, are the only
near surviving relatives.

A decision was also handed down in
the case of Peter Bleser vs. Lawrence
Stedl affirming the decision of the cir,
cult court here. This suit grew out of
u transaction between Bleser and Stedl
conducted in the Office of j. Z. Nolan,
formerly of this city, in which Bleser
loaned to Stedl the sum of 5000 on q
note and mortgage, the loan being made
through Nolan as Besers agent. Stedl,
who was unacquainted with Bleser pre-
vious to the time OF the loan, WAS at
that time directed by Bleser to make
payments on the note and mortgage TO
Nolan as Bleser agent He made pay
ments amounting in all to 1850 with in
terest on the full sum, but the money
thus paid was never turned over by No
Ian to Bleser and the suit was brought
to enforce collection of this amount IA
gain from Stedl The circuit court
held that Nolan was Bleser's agent in
the transaction and that payment to
Nolan was AZ effectual as payment to
Bleser would have been. The Supreme
Court affirmed this decision and ordered
that the mortgage be cancelled. Bleser
was represented in the case by A. p.
Schenan and Hougeu & Brady appear
ed for Stedl.

COMMERCIAL NOTE INSURANCE.

the organization of insurance companies
to insure notes. He has given to the
press the following letter on the subject
The Commercial Note market is in
creasing to immense proportions. Last
summer when these notes were offered
in large numbers, it occurred to me for
the first time that large field was here
presented for an insurance company to
insure such paper. Commercial notes
are issued by business men all over the
country, mainly when they have e1-
hausted there credit with their local
banks, or when they can get lower rate
of interest by selling their notes to note
brokers'
Bankers, who nave experienced some
time or other, losses on unsecured notes,
are shy of buying single dollars worth
but if they were insured they would
gladly buy, because then there would be
an ideal investment.
The reason why fewer collateral notes
are offered by brokers is that they are
readily taken by the banks where they
are issued. When the interest rate on
an unsecured note is six per cent, it will
be from one.half to one per cent less
on the unsecured one, and many bank
er will quickly take the secured note,
when he would not touch the unsecured
at six per cent or any other increased
interest rate.
While the standing or rating of a
maker of a note can easily be ascertain
ed, yet, as some who were rated in the
millions have failed all notes are looked
upon with suspicion; although but a
very small number fail, no one knows
who may be the one that will.
| am reminded of a time when we
could not employ all our funds at home,
and had invested in outside notes over a
bundled thousand dollars After | had
my fingers burnt on only one | mis-
trusted all could not read my morn
ing paper with my usual composure and
in times of failures would want to see
none at all. When all We're paid we
took no more unless secured.
| am further reminded that bank in
my city failed, owing to losses sustained
by commercial notes, purchased from its
reserve bank. If these notes had been
secured, it would be doing business to-
day. How much then, would insurance
of commercial notes tend to safe.g guard
the bank? This is an important point
with bankers.
And another important feature of
commercial insurance is that business
men could borrow with more facility,
and save in their interest accounts.
am trying to get data to find the
average loss on commercial notes, on the
different classes of rating. Ofhand,
| believe that it is less than one eighth per
cent on the average, the higher class,
and the smaller little more.
1t strikes me that such an insurance
company would be most simple clean
affair, much more so than a credit in.
surance or outstanding book accounts.
1t would only need n guarantee stamp
on the back of note and the policy is
complete.
All those interested in getting com
pany, or companies, organized for this
kind of insurance, for which there is
large field to operate in, will please
write to

HUNING A DRAGON
QUEER SUPERSTITION OF JAPAN
 EsE PEASANTS.
They Believe Jungle Inhabited by Dra- g0n fs . sacred Place and are Making Offerings of
 

-
 Tokio. Aug. I.--"Dragon hunting" has become the craze of thousands of peasants in the province of Sasebo, where there Is vast unexplored bam- boo jungle said to be inhabited by a sacred dragon.
 The peasants are trying to ensnare the dragon with offerings of rice and other food. so that he may work mira cles. in fulflment of a curious rtmor that has been spread abroad about his powers.
 Last February there was a fall of dark -celored rain" which shook the earth to it's foundations '' According to the peasants story. the dragon ap- peared towards nightfail, and ascended to the clouds. As soon as he had dis- appes red. the rain stopped. Sadajiro Shinoki, who owns the jungle, de- clares that that night he had a sacred dream in which the dragon appeared to him, announcing that he had suc- ceeded in ascending into the heavens. and that the jungle he had been living in would henceforth be sanctified and would be endowed with healing virtue for all diseases.
 This story brought thousands of pti- grlms to the jungle. invalids who came in order to get cured. and who con- tributed to the offertory box which Shinoki had thoughtfully provided, The rumor was then spread that the dragon had reappeared which brought more pilgrims than ever. They tried all sorts of devices whereby the dragon might be caught and made to work many miracles.
 Shinokl is suspected by the police of having invented the whole story as a means of collecting money. but he has with apparent sincerity declared that he will hand over all the contributions to charitable objects.
