Austin, of the State Insurance ‘department, is thinking seriously of j ingesting ina flying machine, and he has been trying to interest F. P. Dallmeyer in the venture. Mr. Aus- jtin is very much in earnest. He : ean't see any valid reason why Jef- ferson City, the state capital of Mis- souri, should lag behind other cities. Moreover, if a suitable flying machine is furnished Mr. Austin, he will risk his own life and limb by making flights from the State Capitol build- ing back and forth across the Mis- souri river. Mr. Dallmeyer says that if Mr. Austin succeeds in getting a flying machine, it will be sure to cost him (Mr. Dallmeyer) not less than two dollars for flowers and a day off from work to attend the obsequies. This kind of talk is not discouraging Mr. Austin in the least. So Jefferson cate a speck in the sky, floating as gracefully as a swallow, and later learn that Mr. Austin was merely exercistng his new flying machlne.— Cole Co. Democrat-Tribune. Wesley Warnock.

St. Louis, Oct. 6.—Judge James D. | Fox, chief justice of the Supreme | Court of Missouri, died at 6:20 o'clock | to-night at the Josephine Hospital, Grand and Henrietta avenues, follow- ing a stroke of apoplexy a few min- utes befor that time. | Judge Fox came to St. Louis yes-| terday to seek relief from.a severe | headaché, which had caused him! much suffering. After spending part of that day and last night at the| ‘Laclede Hotel, he sought his friend Dr. F. J. Lutz at the hospital. He had no idea anything dangerous was the matter with him. Only the acute pain he suffered caused him to seek treatment. Jovial to the Last. At the hospital Judge Fox was as- signed to Dr. F. G. Pernoud, who advised him to go to bed. Judge Fox told the physician he had been annoyed by the persistent headaches | and that, although he had tried many homely remedies he knew of, he could get no relief. “Judge Fox was in fine spirits, joking about many things and dis- cussed topics of the day,"’ Doctor Pernoud said. “‘I was with him sev- | eral times to-day and did not find | him the least anxious or worried. Early in the evening I left his room after one of my calls, but was sum- moned by the nurse at 6:15 o'clock. She said Judge Fox appeared to be worse, “As Lentered the room I realized he was in a very dangerous condi- tion, Iran to his side and found he was breathing his last. He practical- ly was dead when I reached him. He uttered no word that I know of. It was clearly a stroke of apoplexy.” Judge Fox, who was a native, of |commodations being provided are | } Madison county, Fredericktown, formerly lived in public schools of his neighborhood. Later, he attended St. Louis Univer- sity, gaining admission to the bar in 1866, In the firstcase in which he appear- ed as attorney his father was counsel for the opposing side. The case was tried by a Justice of the Peace. When he argued his first case before the Circuit Court his father was again his opponent. Judge Fox was elected to the Cir- | cuit Court of what was then the Twen- tieth Judicial Circuit in 1880. It is now the Twenty-seventh Judicial Cir- cuit. He wasre-elected in 1886, 1892 | In 1902 he was nominated on the Democratic ticket for the Supreme bench.

That was the first year of a great Democratic slump, and he went to defeat with the entire Democartic | State ticket. Judge Fox wasknown as one ofthe hardest working members of the Su- preme Court, and was regarded gen- erally by the bar asa jurist of clear knowledge of law. He had many | personal friends over the state. As a story teller, he had few equals.
