A. o. U. w. DECIDES UPON
FURTHER RATE INCREASE

The supreme lodge of the \. O. t..
W.. which has just adjourned at St.
Paul. framed a new schedule of rates.
Between the ages of 1S and "a years
the present rate holds in force, with n
proportionate increase mp to 50. but
after that period the change will be
more radical.
\ special committee of three ON rit-
ual was appointed, one literary man,
a religious man, and another one ia
miliar with the practical work of the
lodge, who were authorized to obtain
the services of playwright. 1t was
voted TO give the committee 500, and
should the proffered ritual be salts
factory an additional 500 will be
paid. Since the supreme master work
man receives no stipulated compensa-
ton for his services it was moved
that a salary of $1,000 be given him.
There was 4 strong attempt to
make the supreme lodge hold Il bien-
NAL gathering, the four delegations
from Missouri. Kansas, Illinois and
West Virginia being the strong agita
tors for the change. The motion was
lost by a vote of 439 to 139. Chatta-
noOga, Tenn. was chosen as the next
meeting place of the supreme lodge.

ANIMAL ACTORS
Are in the City Today With Gen.
try Brothers
Show.
DOGS AND PONIES THE STARS
Two Performances at the Grounds
on Twenty-fOurth
Street.

No aggregation on the road has a
cleaner, or more instructive produc-
ton than Gentry Brothers, who open
ed their engagement in Rock Island
with matinee this afternoon, at
Twenty-fourth street and Fifth ave-
nue.. The parade at 1O:3 was one of
the most interesting and attractive,
and gave a good suggestion of the
scope of the performance, which is
delighting the large audience this af-
ternoon. The Gentry shows have no
features which are not of a thorough
ly moral, and entertaining character
and they present an attraction which
appeals equally to the worldly and re
ligious elements. Nothing appears
more human interest than the intel
ligence of dumb brutes, especially the
dogs and ponies, for which everyone
has a natural attachment.
Humble Beginning.
In 1892 the four Gentry Brothers
began show with two cars, 16 pom
les. 40 dogs and two monkeys, and
started in the career which has cul-
minated in their present success. In
1897 they purchased an elephant from
Hagenback, in. Hamburg. Germany.
Their elephants are brought from In
dia, and cost about 81 900 each. They
have three here today. Satan. Dia-
mond and Babe. The two last have
only been here a year and a half.
There are 6S beautiful trained ponies,
besides a number of bronchos and
large horses. Gentry Brothers
have with them here troupe of
50 trained dogs, who have gained the
reputation Of being the brightest and
best educated canine family in the
world. There are 30 monkeys and two
rare Chakma balloons of large size.
Some Features.

ner which was particularly pleasing.
The animals all appear to be in the
best of condition. They were careful
~ cleaned and groomed by well
dressed and polite attendants. Early
in the morning and until the pare lie
had left the lot the grounds were
thronged with admiring visitors. all
anxious to see the clever animal ac-
tors.

NEW RATES WOODMEN
HEAD CAMP ADOPTED

The new table of rates adopted by
the Woodmen at the head camp and
known as the Iowa plan will necessi-
tate the payment of an increase of
from IS to 100 per cent for insurance
by all members. The new rates are
not considered adequate by the ones
who have made the closest study of
the situation. but will reduce the as
sessments per year for a time to come.
The probabilities are that another re
adjustment will be found necessary in
the course of time. The new rates
for the various ages are shown in the
following table:
