MODERN WooDMEN.
Delegates and Members Attend tho
Camp at Dubuquc. In


Dubuque, Ia, June 2.-Nearly every
delegate TO the head camp Modern
Woodmen is in the city for the opening
session Of the biennial meeting. The
city is beautifully decorated, and
streets crowded with delegates and Wis
ting woodmen. The biennial report
OF Head Consul Northcott showed that
during the past seven years the mem
bcrship had increased from 10000 to
100000; average age decreased from
3S.05 TO 1916 years; cost of manage
ment from $1.62 to 81 cents; Mt present
$780, 100000 insurance In force; 127. 113
new certificates written; 1888 new
camps organized.
At the afternoon session the principal
business was the nomination OF Off
GERS. Illinois presented for head con-
sui William A. Northcott Greenville,
ILL.,; Michigan seconded the nominal
ton. and each state followed until
everyone had Endorsed Michigan's ex-
ample, and amidst the greatest en-
thusiasm the camp voted that the elec-
ton OF Mr. Northcott to-day be by viva
voce and unanimous. Consideration of
the law committees report occupied
most of the afternoon. An amendment
was made TO the section prohibiting the
admission of liquor dealers so us TO i'm
clude stockholders In liquor manufac-
tories. The camp voted in favor OF
admitting West Virginia and all nli-
nois, except Cook county. TO the terri
tory.
At the evening session n resolution
was adopted amid great applause that
the head camp take no cognizance OF
the Fulton committee and charges
against officers unless presented in the
regular manner by delegate. No dele
gate would present the charges. and
this probably ends the sensationaism
originating at Fulton. Consideration
OF the law committee report was re-
sumed. The camp voted in favor OF
admitting Pennsylvania, Montana. wy
oining, Idaho. Oregon and Washington.
refusing n further extension of terri
tory.
