Several questlonR of Interest to attorneys
mid fire Insurance people In Nebraska arc
decided by the court for tho first tlmo In
tho ease, cf the linciiHhlro Insurance com
pany against Hush. Under tho valued policy
law of thts state tho worth of property In
sured Is llxed conclusively at the valuation
written In the contract of Insurance 'and
In caso of total lrt- that um Is the measure
of recovery. Under such n policy In cane of
partial Ions the actual damage Is the meas
ure of recovery. In the decision handed
down trdny tho court rules that If, under a
valued policy, the property Insured Is totally
destroyed at the rewult of two or more Urea
the mcMHUro cf recovery for tho llnal Ioy
Is tho amount written In the contract bus
nmounts paid In settlement of previous
lOSHCS.
Tho court further rultn that after a par
tial lrs under a lire policy which renders
tho building untenable the Insured Is not
guilty cf a breirh of the vacancy clause cf
tho coutrnct where he permits the property
to remain unoccupied pending the period
during which the Insurer Is authorized to ex
ercise Its cptlon to repair tho damaged
building and that there Is nothing In the
constitution of the United States or of this
Mate which forbids clarification of subjectn
for tho purpoho of legislation. It is held
that tho power to classify Is subject only
to tbo limitation that the classification
must not bo arbitrary.
"The provision of section 3 of the valued
policy law (section 15, chapter 13, Compiled
Statutes, ISflO). permitting the taxation as
costs of ii reasonable attorney's fee upon
rendering tho Judgment against an Insur
ance company on n contract Insuring real
estate," It Is held, "in grounded on consid
eration of public policy and Is constitu
tional." I'll I lie ('iititcvt Cnno.
In Henderson agalnst S.oith Omaha, a piv
lng conteht i'ase, the co'lirt holds that tho
representation to the city authorities of a
city of the first class having lorn than 2,1.005
Inhabitants of a petition signed by persons
owning a majority of the front feet of the
lots abutting upon the portion of tho street
to bo Improved la a Jurisdictional prcrciul
slte to authorise fiurh city by city ordinance
to charge tho entire cent of paving such
street against property nhuttlng thereon.
In n Lincoln county catc the court holds
that the purpose of the registry law Is to
furnish record evldenco of the stato and
condition of land titles. There Ih no law
requiring or authorizing the registration
of personal contracts to pay debts. An
agreement to pay a deht, although evi
denced by a nvorded Instrument, is not
conclusive In favor of the party who. In
purchasing a lien agalnat property, has
acted on the faith of the record.

had beiti leaking, and tho vapor took tire
from the match and an explcelon followed
which threw Klnner across the room, burn

burning his face and hands. The oil In the

History of "The Defense of ChampiKiiy."
Tho Kranco-Ocrtnan war rf 1S70, with all Its liorrors anil tcrrlblo losn of life,
still burns In tho memory of most HvIiir. Kor many years previous n bail leclln
exljted between Kraiuo ami I'niFHla ami both Rreat powers bnil been getting their
armies In readiness ami wore armed to tho teeth. Dbitrustrul nnd full of hnto to each
other, they soon found themselves In a pottltlon from which neither could retreat with
honor and nn appeal to tho sword wns the only alternative. Tho Spanish crown of
fered the Prince of Hohenzollern, In June, 1S70, nnd beliiK nccepted by him, causod
tho Interference of Prussia, which tho Kicuch government icsented, fcellJR that
l'runsla had no rlRht to Interfere In Sp.wilsh nfTalrs, and step by blep the quarrel
Krew, and although (ireat Hrltuln and other Kuropean powers tried to avert nn open
rupturo and to preserve the peoco cf Europe, tho war i.plrlt was madly popular In
both Prussia and France. At laRt, on tho K.th of July, 1S70, tho crisis came. Tbo
Duko of Uramuiont told Lord Lyons, th e llritlsh nmbassadnr, thnt "Tho Prussian
government had deliberately Insulted Franco by declaring to tho public that tho IcIur
had affronted the French ambassador. It was evidently tho Intention of tho klnK of
Prussia to take credit with the people of (!ermnny for having acted with haughti
ness nnd discourtesy In fact to humllltnto France." Unipeior Napolean, as early ns
tho Sth of July had moved forward Ms troops, and on tho 15th of July wnr wns de
clared by tho French government to exist between Franco and Prussia. A!! Piris wns
In nn uproar of delight. Tho declaration of war mado Nnpoleon popular with lila
subjects nnd the Chambers, by nn overwhelming vole, granted a credit of 50,000,000
francs for the army and lfl.000.000 for the navy. Tho war was carried on with vast
cxpcndlturo'of forco on both olden, and war was brought to a close after sevon
months of nwful bloodshed nnd tlmost dnlly battles, the dctnlls of which nro y.o
harrowing to narrate. Tho Germans lost 6,217 otllcers and 123. 15S men. Tho total
losses of the French were Incalculable. Strasburg nnd Metz, which Oortnany had lost
In a tliuo oi weakness, wero reconquered, and tho Oerman Empire had arisen anow,
and Franco Imil thrown off bandage nnd had becomo a frco nation a republic. So
good came out of evil.
Whllo reflecting upon thoso eventful times. M. Jean Ilntlsto KUouard Detallle, the
great and famous French painter, was Inspired with tho Idea of painting his worM
fnmouB picture, "The Defense of Cham pi guy."
ncforu giving a fow facts, n description of this magnificent painting, nn outline
of tho vlllago that has been mado to fain ous, may bo hero narrated. Chaniplgny,
with ii population of over 2,000 might almost bo described ns a beautiful suburb of
Paris. It lies flvo miles east, southeast o f tbo gay city. Here business men from the
busy capital nnd picnic parties wend tho Ir wny for a quiet rest, fresh air, and to
tako In tho rural and pretty landscapes. Here, scattered through tho village, wi ru
lovely homes or chntepus, surrounded with well-lald-out gardens and lawns, full of
sweet scented and pretty llowers and beautiful trees, casting a heavenly nnd peaceful
aspect ix 1 1 around. Hut this bcautly wan to bo marred by tho ravages of wnr, ti
be trampled down by tho tuldlers and Implements of wnr, for, situated ns It Ib, on
tho Marnn, It was selected a3 a placo for u sortie on behalf of tho French array, and
hero on November 30th until Do ember 2nd, 1S70, was tho scene of protracted and
bloody encounters between tho French troaps under colonel Ducrot and tho Oormans,
pud on December .Ird tho French recrostid the Marne, having slain 5,000 Germans
and sustained a less of from 10,nno to 12,0 on men and leaving Chninplgtiy a waste.
M. Detallle's nalntlng of The Defense of chaniplgny. 1S7", holds a most prominent
position In Now York. It Is now hung In tho Metropolitan Museum of Art, C?ntral
Park, and Is valued at over $00,000.
THE BALLOON By Jiilien Dttpre.
The subject treats of ti Krottp of p ensnnts In thu hiirvost-llolil. Tho peas
ants hurt! spent tho tnornltiK ntliltiK n ml slnckltiK liny, tho hud Is tit Its zi'iiltU
not it hieath of air Ir. stirring, you can almost hear the hees as they buzz from
llowtT to (lower, and away off in (he distance Is seen n balloon tloatiiiK ma
jestically In the clear, blue sky. ICvhl ently the villagers aro holding their
country fair, and a balloon ascension is ono ot the features. The group con.
plstlnp; of tho peasant and his family are in the picturesque cotume of tho
country. They have all stopped work and stand with their rahes In their
hands gazing Intently at the distant balloon. Wonder, awe and admiration
nre blended In their expressive faces, and revealed In their nttltudes. The
subject has been treated with those soft, mellow tints which Its artist knows
fo well how to paint, and recalls to the mind many Just such Incidents in our
childhood life. It Is Justly popular, both on account of Its artistic quality and
deep human interest with which It has been clothed.
