Chauncey I. Filley Declines Say Whether lie Wants It or Not The announcement that Circuit Attorney Harris is again at the point of death will be startling and sad news to many of his friends in St. Louis who hoped that he had successfully passed through a physical crisis in his life which few other men could battle through. hile appearing before the Supreme Court at Jefferson City In an argument for a writ of mandamus on Judge Laughlin Mr. Harris was seriously prostrated.

His weak physical condition was made worse by a sad accident which occurred only a short time provlously. While trying to invite rest one nicht he mistook a bottle of belladona for a Bleeping potion and swallowed a large dose. This racked his already weak stomach, and in a few days he was helplessly confined to oed. For several days his "lite was in the greatest danger. His worldly affairs were disposed of and all hope given up.

when his nervy little constitution suddenly began to erather needed strength, and after nearly two months, during hich time he was confined to bed. be found himself sufficient! recuperated to leave the city and enjoy the benefits of the purer country air. For this purpose he was taKt-n to his old homeinPennsvivania by hisbrotber-in-law Deputv Sheriff Fred. Russell, and was accompanied by his wile. Trie first reports heard irom Mr.

Harris were throuuh letters written by himself. He had almost completely recovered when he had a serious relapse which places him again at death's ooor. One of his chief distinct troubles during nis illness in St. Louis was in one of his lungs, which was badly congested. This congestion bafiied the physicians, who were unable to make much headway with his complaint.

Since his relapse it has developed that the congestion was principally due to the formation of a large pus cavity in the lung, and the greater or less affection of every portion of the organ. This cavity has broken and is now yielding copiously. Toe only hope remaining now is tnat this will begin healing immediately. So far tbe alarmed friends ot the Circuit Attorney have not received the slightest causa for hope from the attending physicians, who have not discovered any evidences of improvement. This latest development, in view of the reduced condition of his eneriges, after a ee vere illnees of nearly ten weeks, has caused the greatest apprehension in the minds ot his friends who know of bis condition.

LATER. The first favorable news from Mr. Harris since his relapse was received by Mr. Joy today. The indications are that the cough is not a serious as was anticipated.

The letter was from Mr. Harris hlmselt, brief but hopeful- cannot tell how many depredations may have been committed on it.

Yes, I want the grain receivers to take the whole weighing business into their own hands. I am not only willing to let the grain receivers appoint an inspector to see after the weighing in my elevator, but I am willing to turn the whole weighing business over to them bodily.

In Phelps county, contrary to all precedent with those sections having a local candidate lor a State office, the delegation was Instructed on the Supreme Judgeship for Cravens, and on its own candidate, J. L. Buskett. for Railroad Commissioner. The Martin men were led to expect the assistance of Phelps county, by reason of which Buskett had counted upon St.

In New South Wales alone we have 3.1,000,000 sheep and an area of 304,000 square miles." "Are there many Americans In Australia?" "About 56,000 regularly employed and residing there. The national feeling, however. Is intensely American, and the greatest pride is ttken in the progress of the United States. This country is pursuing a very Injurious course towards our people just now, and we feel the discrimination keenly.

We receive free of duty from tne United States such articles as wagons, carriages and pianos, which constitute the staple importations, but your Government charges us an import duty noon our staple product and export, merino wool, of thirty-five cents a pound. More than that, you go beyond us and extend your reciprocity to the French of the Honolulu Islands, admitting their exports almost free, when the fact is that we snail soon be the controlling power of the surrounding Islands, New Zealand, the Fijis and Honolulu, and the tide ot American emigration passes by Honolulu and comes to us. If there is a country on earth that America should have the fairest dealings with, it is Australia, for the two continents are more closely allied by ties of commerce and trade, even than with England."

In each of which the police found her in possession of some kitchen utensils which she had stolen. Although only 14 vears of age, Mary is as Incorrigible and successful a liar as constant practice can make her.

It was decided that an election of officers was unnecessary, and the better than any one else whether yon have asked for the appointment."

"Who do you think would be tne best man for the place?" ihat is the Key to this wnoie rumor, tnas to do business under the benevolent clause. It embraces the benevolent and social features, and is conducted on the mutual plan. The Insurance Department takes the ground that the society is doing an Insurance business, pure ana simple, and is acting in violation of the law which places insurance companies under the supervision and control of the department, and provides security measures for the parties whose lives are Insured.

The prosecution now takes the shape of a quo warranto proceeding, and it is conducted by W. S. lie If and C. P. Ellerbe.

The Farmers' and Mechanics' Association is represented by Dyer, Lee Ellis. At the outset this morning Major Lee made the point that no cause of action was stated fn the Information, and it did not comply with the statute providing for quo warranto proceedings agbinst co-operative benevolent associations, stating what it was authorized to do and what it was in fact doing. It was for tbe State to set out these facts and not to deal in generalities. On the lacts the issue was to be made and tried. The burden of proof was on the State.

Mr. Kelfe replied that the information was identical with that filed in the Court of Appeals and in the Supreme Court. Maj. Lee said that in neither of those cases had the point been made, but the defendant societies had accommodated the State by assuming the burden of showing the character oi their insurance. The court, after examining the statute and tbe information, overruled the objection and held that th information showed that the defendant association was exercising its franchise in this citv, and that it Is incorporated under articie 8," The court would take judicial notice of what the article authorized the companies incorporated under it to do.

The information stated what the association was doing. It was for the State to prove that tbe association is doing those tbings. and then it became a question of law for the court to determine whether those acts were in violation of the charter or otherwise. After introducing the articles of association the State cailed Fletcher M. Doan, secretary of the company, lie testified that it was organ ized in 1S7S and Had qeen doing business Here ever since.

He idc.ntiiied the by laws, form of certificate ot luembeiship, etc. Witness, whose shrewdness and intel.igence cannot be questioned, entered fully into tbe details ol the society's workings and explained tbe plan by which members pre entitled to mortuary benefits of S2.000 or $1,500, according to age. The company has no charter under the insurance laws and claims none. It has no license from the Insurance Department to do business. The chiei office is located at 1210 Olive street.

Upon cross-examination the witness stated that the articles of association were amended in 1S7, and since then t.aev had operated under them as amended. The society now Das 135 local aid societies in this State and twelve or ntteen in Kansas. Farmers and business men at siua.1 ti.wns in the country are the controlling members. The average membership is troin twentv to thirty in eacii local branch, but some have over 100 members. Noone becomes a member of a local society until he has joined the association.

When a policy matures an assessment is made on eacn member as per age, and fc5 per cent of the sum collected is paid to the beneficiary. hen a member is unable to pay his assessment, if worthy, the association pays the assessment out of its charity lund to avoid torfeiture ot tne membership. Aoout $3uo had been paid out oi the funds of the association in that way. In addition tbe local societies attend to the calls made upon them for charitable relief. The defense orfered the amended articles of association, end they were objected to because they were not gerinain to the onginal ob3ects and becau-e the law authorizing amendments had not been followed.
