VOTE ON QUESTION OF RATES
Chief Confederation in EIectinE Dele
gates to Modern WOOdmen
Head Camp.

The educational campaign which has been
in progress for nearly a year among the
Modern Woodmen for an increase in the
rates has now entered upon the final stage,
as the lodges are voting at their FIRST meet
ings this month, for delegates who Will
finally select the delegates to the head
camp. Little else is considered but the
question OF rates, and the contest will shape
the action of the indianapolis meeting. AS
showing the need for better rates as the
organization grows older. the experience of
Illinois, the home OF the order and with
the Oldest membership, is cited. M 1870, 900
benefit members in Illinois paid 81, $50, 900
in 1909 and drew out s., 4O7, 900 in death ben
efts, so that the younger member in other
states paid a deficit of S156. 900 on the I'LL
nois business. The total death claims In
1902 were s,Os1, for 15.5s2. $50, an increase
Of 500 In claims over 1901, although the
membership was little larger.

PLACES FOR BEALS PUPILS
Board of Education Committee An
nOunces Arrangements Made for
School Accommodation.

A special meeting Of the Board Of Educa-
tion was held yesterday afternoon at 2
to receive a report from the committee on
buildings and property as to adjustment of
the insurance on the south building Of the
Beals school, that being the one portion of
the building which was not entirely de-
stroyed.
The committee on buildings and property
and superintendent of schools have an
nounced the following arrangement in the
way Of school facilities for the present ao-
comodation Of the pupils OF the Beals
school:
The children who belong in the third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades will be divided between the Wind
sor and the Columbian schools. The chill
dren In these grades who live south Of and
on. or just to the north of Center street,
will attend the Windsor school. All chill
dren in those grades who live north OF Gem
ter street, with the exception Of those who
live on, or quite near. Center street, will
attend Columbian school. These accommo-
dations will be ready Monday.
The children in the kindergarten and in
the first and second grades will be provided
for in the building which still stands on
the Beals site. The kindergarten room will
be ready for use early next week, perhaps
by Monday. The room for the children of
the first and second grades cannot be ready
for a week or ten days, as some plastering
must be lone before the room is in condi-
ton for use. The children in these grades
will have an enforced vacation until the
room is put in condition.

SET EXAMPLE OF VENALITY
Correspondent Writes of Men who
own and Control Railroad
PrOperties.

OMAHA, Feb. 6.-To tie Editor OF The
Bee: The railroad lobby in Lincoln is not
working to establish equity in taxation, but
is trying to legalize %inequity. Since we
have no king to prescribe a rule for our
actions, but accept and submit to the rule
of laws, to understand laws 1t requires in
telligent citizens. For this purpose our in
stitutions Of education have their object.
In consequence every citizen is expected to
discern right from wrong, and also to pass
judgment on the justice or injustice OF our
laws. 1t is inherent and natural to all good
citizens to support and defend a law II 1t
tends to the veal OF tie community. On
the contrary, II a law Is construed to the
injury or detriment of It's inhabitants, and
they submit, they have ceased to be called
citizens, but deserve to be rated as sub
jects or slaves.
The Bee has done more than anyone to
call the attention Of the citizen to the in
Justice Of our law concerning equality Of
taxation. According to The Bees showing
the railway bridge, which earns the COM
pany nearly 1000, 900 a year, is assessed
81, 500, no more than a common dwelling.
Now, how can those scions of our order
expect their fellow citizens to believe them
when on the Fourth OF July they mount the
platforms end try to convince us about the
glory OF our institutions and our equality
before the law. Instead OF being leaders
toward Justice and right those very GENTLE
men set a sample of ~venality and fraud.

CHECK ON THE RAILROADS
Freight shippers Are Using Com
venient Forms Supplied by Com
mercinI Club.

Since the Inauguration of the slow freight
schedules on the roads out Of Omaha the
system adopted a few weeks ago by the
Commercial club for the purpose of keeping
a record of the delivery of local consign-
ments Of freight is proving popular. and
within a short time the railroads will re-
ceive a large number of reports, showing
the effect Of the present plan.
Each member of the Commercial club
who ships freight from the city is provided
with a blank form. on which he enters the
time each shipment Is made from the house
and the time 1t is delivered at the freight
depot. The form is sent to the consignee.
who is asked to return 1t. showing the
time when the consignment arrived. At
first but few of the members of the club
used the forms, and those who did found
that deliveries were comparatively in good
time, but within the last week or two
there have been complaints from customers
and the shippers. in self-defense, adopted
the form. These reports are now being
returned.
One shipper out Of two dozen consign-
ments found delay which seemed to him
avoidable in seven cases. Another found
that it took five days to get an order to an
Iowa town which is ordinarily reached from
Omaha in less than forty-eight hours.
The reports, upon being returned to the
houses sending them out, are sent to Sec
rotary UT of the Commercial club, who
sends them to the railroads interested. The
plan is so new that its effect upon the rail-
road companies is not known, but 1t is I'M
derstood that as the cases are recorded
plans will be adopted for securing improve
ment If possible by taking the matter up
with the railroad officials.

HIS DIAGNOSIS A MISTAKE
Captain Neve Has visions of Doing n
Turn ut the Pest
House.

Captain william Neve is Of military pre-
dilection. He never has interested himself
in diseases and he never cares to. AS one
Of Sheriff Powers deputies he Is willing TO
60 clear to the end Of the car line after a
healthy man called for Jury service, but he
balks on going even a block for one IN
sound OF mind or body unless II be abso-
luteiy necessary. Because Of this he never
knew the difference between smallpox and
the blotches of the morphine fend-never
until Thursday, when he was sent to sum
mon Rose Bradshaw to appear as a witness
in a case in district court.
Rose lives down in q section where the
rent is low and the ceilings about the same.
When the captain was admitted the first
thing he saw was Roses husband. stripped
to the waist line and covered with ugly
blotches.
Smallpox" muttered the captain, edging
into a small room on the other side of the
hall.
Just then Rose got in front of the dingy
windows and the faint light showed her
arms to be as badly blotched as we're her
husbands. The captain felt chills chasing
up and down his back and had visions OF
doing a term at the pesthouse.
stand where you are! stand where you
arel" he commanded. You're plenty close
TO hear all I have to say"
Performing his official duty as speedily
as possible he backed out of the building
and sprinted to the police station to inform
the officers that there we're two cases of
smallpox at the Bradshaw home. Tony Va
nous disposed of the plant by saying:
cap, you want to wise up on the hypo gun
and its marks"
