A RULING ON INSURANCE
Important Decision Announced by the
Supreme Court
An important decision on life insur
ance is announced in the supreme
court in the case of the Royal Neigh
bors of America against Wallace an
error case from Dodge county The
court auneres to its former ruling of
roversal announced at the last term
of court but changes its mind ma
terially as to the rule that applies
to answers to questions in the appli
cation The matter turned upon
whether these answers are warranties
or merely representations The court
says that the proper rule is that the
asking of a question by the company
is a declaration that the fact sought
to be elicited by the question is ma
terial and the answer by the appli
cant when he procures a policy t6 be
issued is an assent to its materiality
the form of application and the pol
icy constituting an agreement that the
statements are material to the risk
This still leaves it open says the court
to the determination of the jury
whether the answer was true and if
not true whether the variance was
mateiial to the risk It is not for the
jury however to say that the answers
though substantially true were nev
ertheless immaterial

No Fear of Contagion
Tho hoof and mouth disease so
prevalent among cattle in the New

quarantined need occasion no alarm
ammg cattle and stock men in Ne

the state veterinary surgeon While
some of the surrounding states have
quarantined against the disease Ne
braska will not do so for the officials
do not believe there is any danger of
the disease reaching here We see
no occasion for alarm said Dr
Thomas and therefore will establish
no quarantine It would interrupt
traffic and do no good

CONVINCING PROOF
1 Case No 41206 Capt Alfred G
Riglor of Hoso Company No 4 Can
ton Ohio says I had a weak back
over since I was a boy and about
j six years ago the cauBo developed
into ramer a Daa case oi Kiuney com
plaint It was not a little backache
now and then but backache which
caused actual Buffering day and
night and the harder I tried to get
rid of it the worse it became
When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down and
when down it was just as hard to re
gain an erect position on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys I
can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from a
knife thrust
In time distressing and terribly
Inconvenient urinary weakness result
ed causing annoying embarrassment
during the day and loss of sleep dur
ing the night
I took everything which came to
my notice from reading from observa
tion and which my friends and ac
quaintances advised I consulted
physicians but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble let alone
stop it
It became so well known that I had
a pronounced case of kidney com
plaint that I often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier
When Doans Kidney Pills attracted
my attention I wanted to try them
just as I had tried everything else
and Mrs Rigler went to Durban
Wright Cos drug store for a box
Relief followed
I knew after a dose or two that
the medicine was acting directly on
the kidneys from the altered condi
tion of the kidney secretions and
encouraged I continued the treat
ment Finally the backache and
other complications stopped
Let me sum up my opinion about
Doans Kidney Pills by saying I
would willingly pay one months
wages for a box of them if I could not
buy them for less You can refer
any one to me about Doans Kidney
Pills and I will convince them that
they act just as represented
Four Years After
Lapse of time has strengthened
my appreciation of Doans Kidney
Pills I gave this remedy my unquali
fied endorsement in the summer of
1896 because of the results I obtained
from a course of the treatment I
can now add to my original endorse
ment the experience of a number of
others who are just as enthusiastic
when they express their opinion of
Doans Kidney Pills as I

Ccafnea Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the eur There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by consti

inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever

Distinction for Prussian Teachers
The Prussian ministry of education
has resolved on conferring a special
mark of distinction upon lay teachers
in the municipal schools when they
retire from service It has been felt
that years of faithful and exception
ally valuable service in the cause of
education call for recognition on the
part of the government and tho min
istry convinced that the thing should
be done handsomely therefore decid
ed that each teacher who has display
ed marked ability in the performance
of her duties shall on retirement re
ceive a colored portrait of the empress
in a gilt frame Middle aged teach
ers who fail to attain the prize may
console themselves with the reflection
that an article of this kind Is to be
obtained for a shilling or so in most art
