MODERN wooDMEN.
The Proposition to Take into the Order

over the admission of cities of over
100000 to the jurisdiction of the or
der filed the business day for the
Modern Woodmen of America yester-
day. The proposition to take city
members into the order came up on
the report from the law committee.
An amendment was proposed to this
report to dispense with the present
limit, which keeps cities of over 2O0,-
300 from joining the order, Chicago,
St. Louis, Milwaukee, Buffalo, De-
troit, Cleveland, San Francisco, Gin
cinnati, Philadelphia and Pittsburg
being named in several motions and
being then taken up one at time
and voted on. On Chicago the vote
was 200 to 32S and the others were
more quickly disposed of, all being
voted down. This leaves paragraph 4
Of the law committees report with
the single recommendation that Utah
be admitted to the jurisdiction of
the order, and this amendment will
doubtless be carried on Friday. The
action taken yesterday afternoon is
considered as settling for some years
to come the membership limitations
of the Modern Woodmen.

NO THIRD TERM FOR HIM.
President Mckinley Puts an Emphatic
0uietus on the Recent Suggestion That
He Stand for denomination.

Washington, June 12.-The follow
ing statement has been given out at
the white house: 81 regret that the
suggestion of third term has been
made. I doubt whether I am called
upon to give this notice. But there
are now questions of the gravest i'm
portance before the administration
and the country and their just con-
sideration should not be prejudiced in
the public mind by even the suspicion
of the thought of third term. In
view therefore of the reiteration of
the suggestion of it, I will say now,
once for all, expressing a long set
tied conviction, that I not only am
not and will not be a candidate for a
third term, but would not accept
nomination for it, if it were rendered
me. My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the ac-
ceptance of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence I so deeply ap-
preciate, and then with them to do
my duty in the ranks of private cit
izenship.-William Mckinley"

DEATH IN A MINE.
Seventeen Men Killed by Explosion at Port
Royal Pa, Among Them the Su-
Fe-intendent.

West Newton, Pa, June 12.-Time
only adds horror to the disastrous
mine explosion which occurred late
Monday evening at No. mine of the
Pittsburg Coal company at Port Roy
al. Three men were rescued and II
others are imprisoned in the burning
mine. Monday night the mine was re-
ported at the offices of the company
here to be on fire and Division Super
intendent McCune and William ALI
son, of this place, started for the
scene. They entered the mine with
Fire Boss Kreck, who carried an open
lamp. Three explosions followed at
intervals of u few moments, the large
fan being inadequate to counterfeit
the rush of fire damp. Many of the
miners escaped but latest reports
state that McCune and Allison with Is
miners are beyond reach of rescue.
Even were there bare possibility of
rescue, the men are located over a
mile from the bottom of the pit.

STOPS FAITH CURE TEsr.
Judge Tuthin. of Chicago. summariIy Takes
Crippled Child from It's Christian
Science Mother.

Chicago, june 12.-Christian science
treatment for a sprained ankle came
before Judge Tuthill, of the juvenile
court, for his judicial opinion. His
verdict was that Albert Chamberlain
should be taken away from his
parents, who had treated him for his
injury after the method of Mrs. Eddy.
He was sent to the crippled children's
home. The testimony showed that
the boy had been two years under the
treatment, during which time the in
jured leg had shrunk until now it is
shorter than the other. The mother,
who is a member of a Christian sci
ence church, asserts that the failure
of the remedy is due to unbelief and
adverse criticism of neighbors, which
disturbed her mental equipoise. There
is doubt as to whether Judge Tut
hills action will be allowed to go I'M
questioned by the Christian scientists
of the city. He held that the neglect
of the parents in not furnishing med
ical attendance was of so decided a
nature as to warrant him in taking
the boy from their care.

Twenty Seventh National aieeting Formal
Iy Opened at Kansas City-FIamb an
Parade Tuesday Night.

Kansas City, No., June 12-The
| twenty-seventh national meeting of
shriners was formally opened Tuesday
morning. The imperial officers, the
men who are at the head of all the
shriners of North America, were es-
corted in a picturesque and formal
way from their headquarters to the
Standard theater, where their first
session of the council, which was the
actual beginning of the meeting of
the shriners, was held. The parade
was flash of music and bright colors.
The first meeting of the imperial
council was fash of oratory. a trifle
the worse for the heat of the weather,
but a little the better for the warmth
of their reception, the men who wear
the little red Turkish caps entered in
to the business of their national meet
ing with the hearty wide awake spir-
it which characterizes them.
The down town streets were given
over at night to brass bands and
marching shriners in brilliant oriental
costumes, with an accompaniment of
fireworks and the booming of NOR
tars. The preparations that had been
made for the annual parade of the
Arab patrol, which is the military
branch of the mystic shrine, afforded
a spectacle worth seeing. The word
gorgeous is none too extravaganza to
describe the costumes of the patrols.
Their splendOr was enhanced by the
electric lights and the pyrotechnics
set off by the Topeka Flambeau club,
which led the procession.

breaker. The present area in corn
as estimated by correspondents is APP
proximately 100000 acres, or 500, 900
less than one year ago. The conditions
in the state is s1.3S, as against 93.2
