From England it comes that it is
an open secret that if Sir Thomas
Upton succeeds in taking the Ameri-
cas- cup back to England he will be
made a peer. Of late it has been the
fashion in England to give newly
made peer title taken from the
scene of the exploit by which he
reached the peerage-like Kitchener
of Khartoum, and Roberts of Kanda-
har. So if Upton takes back the cup
he may perhaps come to be known
as Lord Upton of Sandy Hook.

BODY OF OLSEN
IS RECOVERED
Victim of Drowning Accident
Found Near Point Where
He Went Down.

The body of John Olson, who was
drowned in Lake Vadnais Sunday aft
ernoon, was recovered last evening at
6:55, by a searching party that had
been at work all day yesterday and
Monday.
The body was found within ten feet
of the spot at which Olson had disap-
peared. It was lying in forty feet Of
water, one of the deepest points of the
lake.
The search had been confined 20 the
vicinity of the spot at which Olson had
sunk. A buoy had been placed at a
point as near as possible to the spot
and the body was found within ten feet
OF it.
The search was carried on by Olson's
friends, many Of whom had been mem
bers of the party of Sunday. All day
Monday the men vainly dragged the
depths. Occasionally they were en-
couraged by the hooks catching hold
of objects at the bottom. Yesterday
dynamite was used, but no sign of the
body was found till last evening.
The body was caught in a net at
tached to two graphing hooks sus-
pended between two boats. 1t was
doubled up and one hand clutched a
shirt that had fallen into the water
from the boat. When Olson sank he
had grabbed the shirt.
Coroner Miller gave Olson's friends
permission to remove the body to the
undertaking rooms Of Listoe & Void,
where he made an examination.

Beware of "White Disease"
An address by DR.. D. H. Shields SUI
preme medical examiner, was heard
with interest. In his biennial report
DR.. Shields says:
1.-THE great problem that confronts
this organization, and indeed all 9TH
ers, Is to promote healthy and rapid
growth with decreased death rate.
We find, upon investigation, that 562
of our members have died during the
past year with that dread white dis
ease, consumption. Were it possible
for us to so legislate as to prevent
these deaths it would be of great ben
eft to us in eliminating the excessive
cost problem Can it be done? We
have the opinions of the most learned
men in the medical profession that con-
sumption is communicable disease,
and that being the case, 1t is disease
that can be prevented or obliterated.
1T would certainly be the part of
wisdom on our part to take up this
question and agitate it throughout our
supreme jurisdiction, so that the states,
territories and provinces comprising
that jurisdiction might take it up and
use very endeavor-to stamp out this
disease. If the fraternal orders would

About $50 delegates and officers were

mittee on arrangements. He also in
troduced the various speakers: Charles
G. Hinds, S. G. Iverson and Mayor
Smith, all three Of whom delivered
short addresses of welcome. These
speeches were replied to by Supreme
Master Workman Webb McNall, on be-

10000 WOrkmen; and that on behalf

penetrated farther north than any
other order, and that counted it's mem
bers as far south as the Gulf of Mex

was firm in the belief that the A. o. U.
w. was the greatest order in existence,
paying 100000 each year in death
benefits.
He believed that the government of
the order was of the most impartial,
unprejudiced nature; that no one could
ever point the finger Of scorn at the Of
ficers and say they had legislated from
personal point of view.
