Streitz, Druggist. J. P. Morfftm'a Special. A special train bearing J. Pier pont Morgan and a party of sev enty guests passed through the city Saturday night enroute to the gen eral convention of the Episcopal church at San Francisco. Mr. Morgan was elected a delegate from the laity ot New York, and the guests accompanying him are mostly ministers who represent dioceses in the cast. Special precautions were taken to prevent accidents and delays to the train while enroute over the Union Pacific. Right of track was given the train, and section men were in structed to examine the roadbed ahead oi the special. W. J. Stuart pulled the train trom this city to Cheyenne. Mr. Morcran will entertain his guests at the Crocker House in San Francisco, and for this purpose he had sent a body of servants ahead to have everything in readiness. A Successful Faruior. Kfncst Calling, of Brady, is one of the most successful farmers in Lincoln county. We learn from the Gothenburg Independent that Mr. Calling this year farmed 400 acres of corn vhich averaged twenty bushels to the acre. He cut up 300 acres of the corn and will shred it and iced it out to 100 head of cattle, which he is fattening and to hogs. He shipped two carB oT cattle to Omaha Monday and ox pects to market a car of hogs eooiir His small grain crop yielded htm 6,500 bushel?, When you arrive at Mr. Calling's Ilia place has the ap pearance of a town, as kis laborers all live close to his place and tarm 800 acres under his advisement. Mr. and Mrs. Calling will leave next week for the Buffalo exposi tion, where they expect to remain a couple of weeks after a liard sum mer's toil. . - . , t ... . ' x nai larming oy irrigation pays in Western Nebraska bus been de monstrated time and time again, but to more forcibly illustrate too fact, we append an item from the Lexington Pioneer. The results attained by irrigation in Dawson county is no greater than in Lin coln county, the requisites for suc cess being thoroughness of cultiva tion and the application of average intelligence in the conduct ot the farming business. The tanner re ferred to by the Pioneer is A. R.

Neaily every farmer in the valley lias put up notices on his tarm ior biddiug hunting or trespassing up on his laud. The entertainment given by the Woodmen of Hcrshcy in tin hall at that place Saturday night last was a grand success in every respect. We arc pleased to learn that Wm.

Liability of Policy Holder in Nebras ka Mutual Inuuranco Go's, The recent decision of the Supreme court in regard to the lia bility of Mutual Insurance com panies simply tollows the opinion of Auditor Cornell about one year ago. The case is that of John S. Mor gan vs. Hog Raiders Mutual Insur ance Company. The policy given to Morgan provided that the liabil ity for asBesincnts should be limited to double the amount ot the first payment. On Oct. 6, 1899, when the insurance was taken out a pay ment ot $5.00 was made. Subse quently on Jan. 15, a paymeul of $7.50. was made and on April 1 an other payment of $2.50 was made. This made the full limit as pro vided by the policy. Afterwards a call lor $22.50 was made which Mr. Morgan refused to pay and the com pany bought suit for the amount. The company was successful in the district court of Lancaster county and in the Supreme Court. TIjIb made a Bum total of liability of $37.50 for six months insurance lor the sum of $150,00. The Court held that that portion of a contract ot insurance between n company organized under the provision of a statute of 189!) which seeks to lim it the liability ot a member is contrary to law and void, that is, the liability cannot be limited even by written contract. This decision applies to all the Mu tual Fire Insurance Companies do ing business in Nebraska except three organized under the laws of 1873. Nebraska Legal News. STATE NEW.
