knights of Pythias.

You are asked to be present at the
meeting of the above lodge next Mon
day night, to dispose of the matter of
delinquent members. We have large
number of these delinquents and the
lodge does not intend to carry them as
it has been doing before. If you are
delinquent and are carrying insurance,
don't forget that your insurance policy
is positively void if you should die.
Your attention has been called to this
fact in the Pythian Journal and why
you should ignore this matter is hard 20
understand. Matters of other i'm
portance will be brought up and you
are urgently requested to be present.
Light refreshments will be served.

Mrs. Florence Peters Moon.


On Saturday afternoon the
home of the Publisher of the
Journal was entered and the
hand of death laid upon the be-
loved mother, Mrs. Florence
Peters Moon, whose bright spirit
and consecrated life had blest
the world by its coming.
For more than twenty years
she had been a sufferer and for
the past four years she had been
an invalid. During these many
years she had borne her afflic-
tions with great fortitude and as
her infrmities increased she still
displayed that heroic courage
which at all times marked her
life. While eager to find relief
from her earthly suffering
through medical skill, yet, she
found nothing to fear in the ap-
preaching end which came as a
sweet relief and with the
consciousness that all was well.
she quietly and peacefully DROP
ped into that endless sleep which
knows no waking.
Mrs. Moon was reared at
Columbus, being the daughter
of the late William and Rebecca
Peters. She received a classical
education, having attained
Franklin Academy and after
wards graduating from the
Atheneaum at Columbia, Tenn.
She became the wife Of Rev. E..
H. Moon and as the wife of a
Methodist minister her home
was frequently changed and
throughout North Mississippi
she was we'll known.
She was a woman of splendid
mental attainments and possessed
to a wonderful degree the quail
ties of patience kindliness and
courage. Over those with whom
J she wass associated, she welded
| an influence that was refined
and elevating and her counsel
was always safe in every re-
spect.
To the members of her family
she was devoted beyond measure
ment and at all times guarded
1sacredIy the lives and characters
| of her loyed ones.
In her home life she was at all
! times kind and tenderly affection
ate and bestowed upon her loved
ones that tender regard which
flows from the pure christian
mother.
In her passing away there is q
| void in the hearts of her loved
ones that can never be filed and

appeal to almost all classes. A
recent visit to Detroit, Mich,
convinced me of the necessity of
Improvement Clubs. That city

my mind it is one of the cleanest

never expect to be a Detroit and
have her waterways and large
shaded thoroughfares, but we
can make Tupelo the finest little

DOES HANGING ANNUL
INSURANCE POLICY

Washington.-The question wheth-
er the ordinary insurance policy in
sures a man against death by legal
hanging is raised in the case of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company VS.. ]. William McCue and
others, which was presented today to
the supreme court of the United
States.
McCue is one of the children of the
late Mayor ]. Samuel McCue, of Char
louisville, Va, who was hanged for
numbering his wife.
About a year previous TO the crime.
McCue took out a policy for $15,0
in the Northwestern Mutual Life, and
the company refused to pay the policy
on the ground that "the death of the
insured by hanging under sentence of
a court justice annulled the contract
of insurance"
The United States circuit court for
the western district of Virginia gave
a verdict in favor of the company but
that verdict was reversed by the Unit
ed States court of appeals for the
fourth circuit.
The insurance company now asks
the supreme court to review the de-
cision on a writ of certiorari, and its.
petition was presented today.
The court will announce its decis,
ion later.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN
WOMEN IN SOCIAL WAR

London, Oct. 1S.--Suits at law
against one or more prominent Eng
lish women of title and position are
threatened by visiting American wom-
en- who allege that they have been the
victims of campaign of calumny,
intended to drive them from English
society.
For some time a battle royal has
been in progress between certain erst-
while leaders of English society and
the enterprising American women
whose wealth and attractive person.
alties have obtained them the entree
to quite the smartest set and it prom
ises to become fiercer than ever, to
judge by the latest developments So
jealous are the Englishwomen Of the
fair Americans social successes that
they are resorting to tactics which are
hardly creditable in their attempts to
bring their rivals into disfavor. Sew
eral ladies of title have not hesitated
to circulate a statement of a highly
slanderous nature concerning some of
England's guests from the other side
os the Atlantic. 1t would not be very
surprising If this campaign of calumny
is eventually brought to the notice OF
the courts.

Chicago Market.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Following the big
bull market for the past four days
there was a most natural reaction in
wheat prices today. 1t would have
been a strained situation indeed, which
would have called for continuation
of the big buying of previous days and
a new high level in today's market.
The action Of the market late Friday
indicated that some of the best buyers
of wheat were ready and anxious to
take profits.
Others took up the selling where
some OF the leaders quit yesterday at
first opportunity today, and the mar
ket had downward tendency at once.
Pit leaders, tailers and hoftiers,
through the big commission house con-
Germs were all ready to liquidate and
secure their profits on the weeks ad-
vance.
Corn specialists gave it out that they
could see nothing on which to buy the
new crop futures. Many others are
radically bullish. believing corn will be
sold rather than fed at soc on the
farm.
With four days of rather liberal ad-
vances, it was quite natural that the
trade in wheat at the close of the
week should show a, softening tone
and prices drop rather sharply. Close
was S-Sc to 1c a bushel under yes
terday.
Foreign markets acted in concert
with this market during the weeks
trade, therefore nothing could be more
natural than the decline at Liverpool
this morning and the following of that
lead by the wheat trade here.
This reaction was only in futures for
cash situation shows no diminishing
strength and values are holding aloft /
1t all primary and tidewater sections. |
In fact, there was firmer tone to-
lay abroad for cash stuff.
Coarse grain list followed closely
lfter the market for wheat today.
Trade in corn and oats was rather lin
ted, and values had only small
pread during the days operations.

THE WHEAT MARKET
ADVANCE IN PORTLAND
CAUSED BY EXPORTERS
Following Bull in Chicago Market,
Sharp Reaction is Felt.

Portland, Oct. 17.-The sharp ad-
vance in the price of wheat here dur
ing the week was due to the inability
Of exporters to fill their already char
tered ships.
The advance was helped along by
the increasing number of inquiries and
shipments of out wheat to middle
west and southeastern points, and TO
the possibility that considerable more
foodstuffs will go in that direction.
Not only has the outside been
buyer of wheat recently, but consid-
cradle flour has been sold by interior
millers to go to st. Louis, Kansas City
and New Orleans.
Oats market was firmer during, the
