Adopted chIld wins Estate.


That Miss Mabel Patterson was the
legally adopted child Of the late Laura
M. Lindsey. former wife of Joseph L.
Patterson, and as such Is entitled to
inherit property from her foster moth
er, the same as a natural child, was
the finding OF the supreme court.
This decision was rendered in a
suit instituted by G. Purdy Lindsey,
whom Mrs. Patterson married after
divorcing Patterson, in which Linds-
ley attempted to repudiate her will 30
far as Missouri property was con-
cerned. Lindsey is a resident Of New
Haven, Conn. where Mrs. Lindsey
lived at the time of her death in 1906.
Mrs Lindsey left an estate in St
Louis worth approximately 100000
and property in New Haven worth
about $4,000 additional. She left
will in which she provided that 81 per
cent Of the net income from all her
property should be paid quarterly to
her adopted daughter, Mabel Patter-
son, during the latter's lifetime, and
that the balance, or 43 per cent,
should go to her husband until he
died or married again, in which event
it reverted to other kinspeople.
Lindsey attempted to accept the
conditions of her will touching the
property in Connecticut, but to re-
pudiate the will and claim one-half alb
solutely of the st. Louis property un-
der Missouri law. To establish his
claim to half of her estate absolutely,
Lindsey set up the contention that
Miss Patterson was not legally adopt
ed by his late wife. The court held
he could not accept her will in Con-
necticut and repudiate it in Missouri.

Fees Seem to Go Wrong.

Fees Seem to Go Wrong.
The Farris investigating committee
has received from expert account
ants a report showing that Insurance
Superintendent Charles G. Revelle,
former Superintendent Frank Blake
and many employees of the depart
ment have been receiving varying
amounts in fees in addition to their
salaries. In some instances the fees
have exceeded the salaries fixed by
law.
The report declares that in some
instances the state has not received
large amounts due it in fees from in
surance companies and that some of
the companies have been under
charged.
1t is also stated that some money
appropriated by the legislature for
a specific purpose has been used to
pay salaries of extra men placed on
the payroll.
The accountants report that they
have been unable to discover $10,491.-
80 in fees which have been retained
by superintendent and employees in
the last four years. This does not
represent more than half the amount
retained according to the report The
accountants say they could not trace
the remainder because only half the
companies answered the accountants
requests for a statement of the sums
paid
These fees represent a charge of
$40 to $1,000 for valuation of policies.
The law is not clear on the subject
of who shall have these fees.

DANGER SIGNAL

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress
it than to stop a fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
