WooDMEN SKIP ASSESSMENT.
But Still Face the Problem of Rate Ad-
iustment.

The August meeting of the Modern
Woodmen directors has ended and the
final action of the board was the de-
cision to skip the assessment for Sep
TENDER, the funds on hand being suf-
ficient to meet current death claims,
This pleasing condition is due to
the fact that the average mortality
since the first of the year, including
even the high water mark established
by the month of February in the
amount of death claims allowed, has
been very low. The death claims al
lowed at the meeting just ended
reached $350,000, while the amount
allowed at the February meeting
reached the enormous total of $780,
600. That despite this sum which was
the largest amount paid out in any
single month in the history of the So
ciety, the average death rate has been
abnormally low, indicates that the
present summer season has been I'M
usually healthy.
While at the first glance it might be
thought that the fact that the society
will this year levy only II assessments
to meet current mortuary claims will
4 ing rate adjustment question, it does
not, it is contended, affect the issue in
one way or the other.
The proposition for an early read
justment of the table of rates is not
due to any fear that the society will
not be able to meet it's mortality
claims this year or next, or the year
! thereafter, but because some method
must be taken to protect the society's
future, in view of the ever increasing
cost of of carrying the insurance owing
to the advancing age of the member
ship. That this is necessary is evi
dent from the record of the society
In 1885, for instance, five assessments
4 sufficed to meet the mortality claims
1 while in 1901 II were necessary. Ant

I some fluctuations, there has been al

CLARK BOUND OVER.
He Will Await Action of the August
Grand Jury.
IFrom Wednesdays Daily.l

lFrom Wednesdays Daily.l
John Clark, who is said to have re-
Gently been from the penitentiary at
FIT, Madison, was today bound over to
the grand jury by Police Judge Moon
on the charge Of larceny from a build
ing. The specific charge is that Clark
appropriated four vests and four pairs
of pants from the clothing department
of Phillips. store, last Monday Off
Ger Pitts arrested the man, whom he
saw, with another man, run into the
saloon conducted by o. z. Hendricks,
on South Market street, and throw the
clothing behind the refrigerator.
Clarks companion got away, making
his escape through the screen door
in the rear of the saloon, but Clark
was caught and taken to Jail.
This morning Clark was brought be-
fore Judge Moon for preliminary hear
ing, having pleaded not guilty to the
charge yesterday, when he was first
arranged. The clothing was identi,
fed by one of the employees at the
store from which it came, and the
testimony tended to show Clark is
the guilty man, according to the view
OF Judge Moon. Consequently he was
held to await the action of the grand
jury during the present August
term Of the Wapello county district

but recently a resident of Des Moines,
was yesterday bound over to the grand

trouble in his life. having been hcarg-
ed in this county with attempting to
bride juryman and having also had
considerable trouble in case where a
statutory charge was made.
Harmed resided in Ottumwa for sew.
eral years, at different times being en-
gagged in the grocery business and that
of funeral directing. He was married
and resided here for some time. but af,

ing considerable trouble here also

Harmed, however, has thus far seem.
ed to live charmed existence. AL
though he has been in almost every
kind of trouble imaginable at one time
or another in his career he has seem
ingly gotten out of it without great
pains, and his acquaintances in Ottum

months ago to see him bob up serene

of man of leisure. wearing most o.
