new 'WOODMEN RATE
Committee Submits Exhaustive Plan
TO the Executive
Council.

The committee on reimbursement of
rates of the Modern Woodmen of
America, appointed by authority of
the st. Paul head camp, today APP
peared before the executive council
at the present session in Rock Island
and submitted n plan of rate which
was approved and ordered to he pub
lished this month in the official pa
per of the society, and which is sub
ject to the head camp at Indianap-
oils. in 1908.
The report. which is considered a
mastery document, clearly shows
the necessity of readiustment, and
offers n plan indorsed by the leading
actuaries of the United States and
well fitted to the conditions of a
great fraternity like the Modern
Woodmen of America. The eXecu-
tive council deem it best not to give
to the public the nature of this re-
port until it appears in full in the
Modern Woodman. the official organ
of the society.
The committee on rate adjustment
is composed of George w. Clark, of
Topeka. Kas.; w. II. Thompson, of
Grand Island. Neb.: J. J. Thompson,
of bloomington. ILL.,; +. ii. Cum
mings. of Grand Rapids, Mich, and
II. S. Oliver. of Lisbon, \. ID. For the
past two months the members have
been in session i'm various places in
this state and Indiana and they have
made n most exhaustive research,
covering the experience of other in
surance bodies of all descriptions,
and the peculiarities presented by
the Modern Woodmen. They have
had the advice and assistance of the
best actuarial experts of the day
and the table they have prepared has
been considered from every stand
point 1t is to be published and dis
tributed among the membership of
the order so that its provisions will
be known to every Woodman when it
comes up for consideration at the
meeting of the head camp in 1908.

SAD CASE OF A WOMAN
She and Her Child Without Food for
"a Hours-Sent to
La Sale.

Mrs. Mary O'ConneIl, a destitute
woman with a small child and in del
icate health, reached the city yes
terday from the west, having been
sent here from Kansas City by the
poor authorities in the counties
through which she had passed.
She was directed to Poormaster
Lidders. who found her condition
most pitiable. Neither she nor the
child had taken food for over "a
hours and they were almost fam
iShed.
Her husband, it was learned. had
died about n month ago, and she was
on her way to La Sale, ILL.,, where
her mother lives.
After providing the pair with food
the poOrmaster secured transporta-
ton for them all the way to La Sale,
taking compassion upon their condi-
ton and waving the rule generally
observed of sending such transients
only into the next county.

A NATIONAL BUREAU
TO IDENTIFY CROOKS

The heads of the police depart
ments in cities represented in the
National Bureau of Criminal Identi-
fication are having Il bill introduced
in congress to establish national
bureau at Washington under con-
gressional supervision. The chiefs
will ask for an appropriation of $685.
600 to establish the bureau. and they
will also ask that an appropriation
he made for~its future maintenance.
The National Bureau of Criminal
Identification is now Il private insti-
tuition to which a large number of
cities about the country belong. The
headquarters of the national bureau
are located in Washington where
they were recently removed from
Chicago.
At the headquarters all photo
graphs and measurements of Grim
inals taken by the police in the diff
ferent cities are filed and in this
manner a large number of criminals.
arrested in different parts of the
country, are easily identified. Some
of the most dangerous lawbreakers
have been captured by reason of this
system.
At the last meeting of the National
Police Chiefs association a resolu-
ton was passed to urge congress to
appropriate money for a national
bureau, thus taking the matter out
of private hands and extending the
benefit of the bureau to all parts of
the country, and taking from the
cities belonging to the bureau the ex-
pense of its maintenance. 1t is ar
gued that the amount OF crime will
be greatly decreased and the expense
attached to conducting the police
departments of all the cities lessen
ed. Police chiefs throughout the
country have been asked to urge
their congressman to vote for the
bill, and they are receiving much en-
enlargement.

CLOSE P0STOFFICE
Quarantine Extended in South
Heights to Prevent Small
pox Spread.
SUPERVISOR DONOVAN Is ACTIVE
Confined to Families of David Ken
nedy and Jacob
Bailey.

The smallpox quarantine in South
Heights was extended today to the
families of David Kennedy and ia
cob Bailey, and the postOffice and
store, which had been visited by
members of the two families, were
closed and thoroughly fumigated I'M
der the direction of Supervisor Cor
nelius Donovan, who is enforcing
every Precaution to prevent n spread
of the scourge.
Marshall Kennedy, the patient, was
from the first confined at the home
of David Kennedy and the other
members of the household went to
live at Bailey's. As the former has
not been abroad since the develop
ment of the first symptoms of the
disease there is very small chance of
contamination outside the family.
Epidemic In Buffalo.
Buffalo, on the other side of the
smallpox epidemic. There are at
least two virulent cases of smallpox,
and eight other cases, reported as
chickenpoX, which are either that
disease or mild cases of smallpox,
probably the former. The author
tiles of the village are considerably
worked up over the situation and
both of the cases pronounced to be
smallpox are carefully quarantined,
and all of the other cases are being
observed. Indeed, the authorities
are doing all in their power to keep
the disease from spreading. DIR.
Berwald, of that place, has the cases
in charge, and as he is one of the
best physicians in the county there
is no question but that he will be
able to keep the disease within prac-
tically the present bounds. There
has been an effort on the part of the
good people of the village to keep
the fact that there was smallpox
there in the dark. All attempts to
get the facts and names over the
telephone were unavailing. Indeed,
the first attempts brought only de-
NAL that there were any cases of
smallpox i'm the village, but after
ward a confession was made as to
two cases which are of malignant
type, but the other eight cases were
pronounced chickenpoX.

Shot by His Son.

A telephone message came to town last
Saturday forenoon stating that D. B.
Porter, we'll known citizen living 10
miles east of Lineville, had been shot
and asking that physician be sent out
at once. Drs. Glendenning and Cal
breath Immediately drove out to the
Porter farm and found Dan suffering
from the effects of charge of No. shot
fred into his legs by his son, Gilbert,
aged about II years, who in moment
of passion committed an act which he
will no doubt regret to the end of his
life. The controversy between father
and son which led to the unfortunate
act was brought about by Mr.. Porter at
tempting to take the boys top buggy fol
trip to Sewall, his own being out o.
repair, to which the boy objected.
Mr.. Porter persisted in hitching bis
team to the buggy when the boy came
from the house with his gun and at {
distance of Is or 20 steps drew the
weapon and fired the shot. The charg'
took effect in both legs ranging from
below the knees to the hips, about 1O'
shot in all penetrating the flesh. Th'
physicians decided that the operation o
removing the numerous deeply imbedee
shot would not be practical or safe ane
that he will probably recover and in time
feel little bad effects from the presenc
of the pellets in his flesh. We under
stand that it is not the desire of the
parents to have the boy, who is thei
only son, prosecuted for bis rash act. :

a p. e. o. Item. !.

The society known as the P. Z. 0.
was organized by seven young ladies at
school in Mt. Pleasant in 1869. Miss
Alice Coffin, sister of Mrs. v. w. Skif
of this city and at whose home Miss
Coffin died many years ago, was one of
the seven charter members and was the
designer of the pin that is to-day worn
by members of the order.
In 1870 Miss Coffin lost her pin. 1t
had her name "Alice" and date, 1863,
engraved on the back.
Mrs. Judge w. l. Babb, of Mt. Pleas
ant was also charter member and her
given name was Alice. She was un.
fortunate as to lose her pin also.
Last winter while at Palm Beech, Fla,
Mrs. Skif received a letter from DR.. j.
B. Combs, of Washington, Iowa, in
which he stated that in 1870 he had
found p. E. o. pin marked "Alice
1885," and that he had ever since been
trying to locate the owner. The mat
ter was finally sifted down until it wal
question only Of whether the pin be
longed to Mrs. Babb or had been Mrs
Skifi's sister. 1t was found eventually
that Mrs. Babb had not lost her PHI
until after the one in question had bee,
found so the matter was settled. Mrs
Skih received the pin only few day
since and treasures it very highly. l
has indeed history and Mrs. Skift viii
always remember the kindness of Dl
Combs, who is now over eighty year
old, for persisting in his search
