MopERN WoopMEN REYoLT

Further details of the plan 70 defeat
the proposed increase in the rates Of
insurance in the Woodmen are given in
the following a dispatcn from Grand
Rapids
A revolt that may result in the
disruption Of Modern Woodmen Of
America which claims to be the larg
est and most wealthy fraternal insur-
ance company in the orld has been
started by the eight camps in the city,
comprising membership Of more than
3, 900
Very quitely Woodmen leaders have
been woking towards their object to
compel the membership TO come up
with more money or give up relation
ship or the benefits already paid for.
Through ignorance or indifference
growing out Of the feeling OF security
developed by the size and strength Of
the order, local camp leaders all over
the country have allowed the great
camp ieadersto weave net and
il remained for the Grand Rapids
camps to take the initiative in
the demand for referendum vote on
the proposition to raise the rates and
establish permanent reserve fund.
"Without allowing the matter TO be
made pubic until all plans had been
completed, the Grand Rapids camps,
which are among the strongest in
Woodcraft. have elected delegates 70
what has been termed a majority rule
committee. and other camps all over
the country will be asked to send de-
legates TO a meeting TO be he'd in the
near future
''Tt is TO overthrow the move for
readjustment OF. insurance. rates that
the majority rule movement is started.
The claim of the head camp officials
is that the membership Of the order IL
growing older and that the head camp
cannot afford to insure at the same
rate as in former years

ABOUT THE SANE.
consumption OF Meat by Crystal Falls
People About as Heavy as Before
the Raise in Price,

So much has been said about the boy
Icott on meats by the people of this
|country. owing to the recent advance
H. nrice. that Diamond Drill reporter
started ont TO ascertain the exact dis
nosition Of Crystal Falls people towards
the meat trust. We called first at the
Parks Mercantile Co.'S store where Air
|Erikson informed sus tnat their cnsto
mers are getting over tine feeling they
FIRST evidenced and that sales of meat
are on the gain
There was quite a falling Oft the
6rst week said Mr. Erikson, the
loss going as high as % per cent. In
addition TO the dropping off in this
trade there was a change evidenced IN
tne character Of the meats purchased.
Instead Of buying the best consumers
Iawung onto roasts, stews and boiling
|lyvces. This Tendency is somewhat
4 n evidence yet Lut not so strong as at
4 first
4 .How does the consumptionof meats
rank with the amount sold by you be-
fore the increase in price we asked.
III should indge that there is a
shrinkage of from 10 70 10 per cent
was the reply, "and it is on the gain
right along.
"Do you anticipate lowering in
pricei "
,sNo. bsSeve it is either going to
remain at the.present level or go mp.
would MT be surprised If the latter
was sthe case.
Mr.. Tufts was not in but Mr. Burns
;nformed us that with them trade is
hack TO the normal There was a
falling off the first week, said Mr..
Burns, "about u per cent should
iudge but that has all been regained
again. our trade being about what II
was before the increase in price
CHOW about the class of the meats
sold now do you find the people asking
for cheaper gradesf'
eNo our trade is about the same as

.suur trade. said f. ID. Ball, OF Ball
4 Waters Co, has swung to the lower
grades Of meat to a great extent {.
There has been no great diminution
IN the amount of meat purchased by
our regular customers They take
about the same amount as formerly

FOR TIBuRoN ISLAND.
Expedition Has Gone to Investigate the
 Mineral Deposits.

Noga' 'es. Ariz.. Nov. 25.-At an early hour yesterday morning big prospect ing outfit sailed from the port of Quay mas for Tiburon island, the home of the Seris Indians, to investigate the extent of the gold, copper and other valuable mineral deposits that are known to exist there. The party, which is composed of twenty-three Mexican officials and well known Mexi- can mine experts and about one hun dred Indians. is headed by H. G. Gore, the prominent California metallurgist, under whose direction she expedition will be made.
 The expedition was organized and is backed by strong Mexican incorpor- a.ion. which owns the entire mineral concessions on Tiburon island. A large well equipped steamer has been chartered for month by MT. Cores company, and it is thought all of that time will be required to fully pros pect and sample the mineral deposits of the island. the extent and value of which have been a matter of conject- ure. It is the largest and most i'm portant expedition of its kind ever organized in this par. of the world and the outcome will be awainted by hun dreds of mining men both in Mexico and the United States

TERRITORIAL NEWS.

Two silent witnesses of the stern de- termination of Mrs. Helen Clark to kill her little son and die were dis covered yesterday. Justice Burnett ir looking at the revolver with which the killing was done and at the car tridges and shell which had been ex- tracted from the revolver saw what had escaped the notice of all at the time of the inquest. There were five cartridges in the revolver. of thirty two caliber Two of them had been exploded and two more had been struck. but not hard enough to explode them. It is a question, whether two of them snapped while she was trying to shoot the boy or whether while she was holding the barrel of the pistol in her own mouth the two cartridges failed. The cartridges were probably not defective for the intention made by the hammer of the revolver was not quite as deep in them as in the two which were exploded.
 The revolver used by the woman is advertised in many of the newspapers and magazines as one which can be depended upon in an emergency. It is a cheap gun of good model and is said by the advertisements to be just as gcod" as the more expensive guns for reliability and accuracy.-Republi- can.

Aqua Muchc.

From the following account furnish cd by the Range News it would appear that one lawyer got too much water.
 The people of Wickenburg are greatly stirred up over the finding of dead man in the well on Harry Corneifs place at that town. The body was found yesterday. It seems that the well was used by many peo- pie and when it was attempted to draw water all obstruction was found in the well. After an investigation a body was discovered and removed. The deceased was F.. D. Forbes, who was engaged in mining in the Wicken- burg country. Tuesday he wen. to Wickenburg with a view of going to Prescott to attend court, but became intoxicated and missed the train. He continued his debauch into the night and is supposed to have accidentally fallen into the well. Forbes came to Arizona from Portland, Me. He was e lawyer of ability and was well liked by his acquailtances.

MINE FIRE CAUSES EXPLOSION.

Trinidad. Coo, Nov. 25.-Two min CTS have lost their lives in a fire which started yesterday morning in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company's mine at Englevale. Last night a severe explosion of gas occurred, which spread the fire over a considerable area No one was in the workings at the time. This morning a gang of fifteen or twenty men were put to work some distance away from the fire, but the foul gas drove them out. Four men were overcome, one being brought out dead. Two were taken out unconscious, but have since recovered. Every available man is fighting the fire. but it is probable the mine will have % be closed indefinitely until the flames are smothered. The fire started at a wood door. with which the shaft is closed. and it is supposed it was caused by a miners torch ccming in contact with the wood work.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Everything in Readiness for the
Championship Contest at San
Francisco Friday Night
BOTH MEN IN The PINK OF CONDITION.
The Betting Has Fallen Back to Ten
to Four in Favor of Jeffries-The
Two GIadiatOrs are TaperinG on
Their Training For the Event at
Their Quarters.

San Francisco, July 24.-Everything
is now in readiness for the Jeffries-
Fitzsimmons contest on Friday night,
and the attendance promises to tax
the capacity of the arena. 1t is not
likely that Jeffries will follow his
on. He is at his best, and will do
just as he peases. He is particularly
partial to sprinting at this stage of
the game, as he believes that by foot
ing it merrily over short stretches Of
highway he gains in speed and
strengthens his wind. Jeffries is bet
ter natured than he was a week ago.
He declares that he feels stronger
and better than he ever did before
going into any fight, and those who
have been watching him during his
training insist that he is faster than
ever.
Fitzsimmons has also tapered Off
in his work. having passed the point
where preliminary exercise will cut
any figure. He says that thereafter
he will do his boxing in private. AZ
ter experiencing a temporary boom
in betting circles, Fitzsimmons'
chances have receded in the estima-
ton of spectators until the original
odds of 10 to now prevail.
A slight defect in the ring has been
found, but II will be remedied before
the fight. The heavy timbers which
support the framework above the
ring were found to be rather too
close to the ropes. If there was n
struggle in any one of the four cor
ners there was possibility of either
OF the heads or the hands of the box
ers being injured. To avoid this, n
rope will cut off one foot Of each
corner, making the ring octagonal in
stead OF square. The posts will be
padded as an extra precaution.
Soldier Tom Wilson, who came
from the east as Fitzsimmons' spar
ring partner, but who was shelved in
favor OF Hank Griffin, will not see
the fight. He received orders to join
his regiment at TT. Monroe, Va, by
July 20.
