The attack was considered in Wall

Kelly and friend, who were sitting
in the same room with Miss Thomas,
but some distance from her, were
laughing over conversation which
they had had.
Miss Thomas evidently thought they
were laughing at her and she put on
her coat and left the room, ostensi bly,
to get her luncheon. Five minutes
later she opened the door and walked
back into the office. She was pale
and unsteady but at the time nobody
noticed that particularly. She laid her
gloves on chair and walked across
the room to a front window. Then
she sank to the floor dead without
uttering word She had swallowed
carbolic acid.

GRAFT IN MEMPHIS

Which There's No Record.
New York Sun Special Service.
Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 1.-Walker Well
ford, who, together with the National Au-
dit company Of st. Louis. has been en-
gagged several months in the examination
Of books Of the city of Memphis, issued
two reports to-day. In his individual re-
port, he scores all the departments of the
city government for their Irregularities
with the exception OF the board Of health
and the Inspector of plumbing, and makes
the assertion that Mayor Williams has
been dereict in the performance ofcllis du-
ties In that he has failed to- enforce the
laws. particularly those against allowing
saloons and gambling rooms to be open on
Sunday, and buying city supplies without
written contracts.
The most sensational feature of the re-
port is the charge that the engineering de-
partment destroyed the time books of it's
foremen and that 100000 have been spent
OF which there. is absolutely no record. He
further charges that the city register is
short a large sum. d 81

Clark on the Proposed Plan.

Friday evening the NJ. W. of A. Of
this city were addressed by Geo. w.
Clark of Topeka, who has spent con-
siderable of time during the last year
lccturiUg in favor Of the proposed
change in the WOodman plan Of
assessment. There was about fifty
present. Mr.. Clark was one of COM
mittee OF live appointed by the head
consul in accO rdance with reSOlul-
ion adopted by the last head camp To
have a plan prepared and submitted to
the NJ. w. Of A. by the adoption Of
which all doubt of any future failure
of the order to meet its obligations
would be removed. Mr. Clark is a
clear and logical speake on o doubt
converted many to his way of think
ing. Some interesting facts were
given. In the 62l, 900 beneficiary
members, but 70 are over 10 years OF
aye and 800 are past to. The NJ. w.
Of A. is an order of young men. The
plan however takes into consideration
The fact that they will grow old if
they live long enough.
The plan, known as the step rate,
is supposed to be based on the actual
cost of insurance at the different ages
as it is shown to be by an inveStiga-
tiOn Of life insurance statistics There
can be little doubt that it would make
the order secure. But the cost would
become 50 great at the aye of 10 that
hardly anyone could expect to meet
it. Ii the plan should be adopted
and the insured WOOdmen expect to
win under their policies they must
look for an early death, otherwise
they must expect to drop out and let
the money they have contributed
while in the order 20 for the good Of
the cause.
The ethical and moral right of the
lodge to adopt measure which OF d
necessity must freeze out" some may
be questioned.
The objects of the NJ. w. Of A. ar
commendable. 1t has, in the past,
done much good and will in the
future. The spirit Of fraternity and
of charity ought not to become a
mantle of extorti9n and oppression.
