OMAHA SEEKS CONVENTION
Lincoln Man VIII he New Head Con-
sui Of ode wOodmen
OF america.

INDIANAPOLIS. Tune r.-The thir-
teenth national convention of the Modern

day morning at TomlInson hall, Head Con-
sui w. A. Northcott, lieutenant governor
Of Illinois, presiding. T~hirty-three states
will be represented.
Delegations have already arrived from
twelve states. including he whole New
England delegation. There will be 469 dele
gates and sixty-eight head officers and
members OF standing committees. 1t is
expected there will be 1900 foresters in
camp. Twenty-Five hundred tents have
been erected and teams have arrived from
Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
The city is profusely decorated.
The subject of chief Importance to come
before the convention will be the read
justment Of rates. At the state conven-
tions of woodmen held on May Q, the ma
jority of the delegates to this convention
were elected with the expectation that
they would favor readjustment In the line
of increase, graded according to the ages
of the members.
Caucuses Of the different state delega-
tions are being held and 1t was announced
tonight from the official press headquarters
that the head consul would be A. r.
Talbot, Lincoln, TO succeed w. A. North
colt. G~reenville, Ill.
The executive council will ask the head
camp for an appropriation of not less than
$4,000 for the relief Of the Woodmen food
sufferers in Kansas and Missouri.
A number of leaders are in the city to
watch the action Of the Modern Woodmen
convention On the rate question.
The candidates for the next meeting are
Omaha, Los Angeles, Saratoga Springs,
n. Y; Salt Lake City, Denver, Niagara
Falls and Milwaukee.
Omaha and Lincoln, to the number of 400,
left for Indianapolis last night to attend
the biennial national convention of the or
der. A special train started on the Rock
Island from Lincoln in the afternoon and
stopped several hours in Omaha, leaving
at 7:45 in the evening. From Chicago the
train will proceed to Indianapolis over the
tracks of the Big Four.
With three drill teams from Lincoln. one
from Omaha and one from South Omaha
there will be a battalion to represent Ne
braska at the cOnver zion. It had been or
iginally hoped that tl Of the four teams
in Lincoln would attend, but No. 1853 backed
out at the last moment. This was felt very
much, as A. r. Talbot of that camp Is n
candidate for the office of head consul and
stands a good chanc of obtaining It.
Drill team No. 40 went from Omaha and
No. 1895 from South Omaha, which, with
the friends and other members of the or
der, made over half OF the trainload.

Saratoga, y. Y, Aug. 2.-Stories of most
alarming nature, and of apparent truth. are
told of the state Of health Of John w.
Gates. who is now here with his family.
From time to time during the last year It
has been said that Mr. Gates was not we'll,
but as soon as the stories were told they
were denied
Now his friends do not deny that Mr..
Gates is far from being the robust man he
was when he first became known in Wall
street. And 1t is his health, instead Of finan-
cial reverses. that has kept him out OF the
market Of late.
With his son, Charles, Mr.. Gates spent
several hours to-day in his automobile. The
weather was pleasant and the sun took tho
Jingle out of the air. yet Mr.. Gates sat in
heavy wraps. and when he returned to tho
United States Hotel he walked with an ap-
parent effort from the street to the elevator
His face is drawn and his body ID ema-
ciated to such an extent that the most
casual observers remarked upon his loss Of
flesh. From a warm personal friend Of Mr..
Gates correspondent for The Republic to-
day learned the nature Of the malady.

his death due to natural causes. This d.

Her opinion Is that her husband was

suited in his death. He had complained Of
