CASS COUNTY WILL AID
THE FAIR PROPOSITION

The board Of county commissioners
this morning decided to levy tax Of
one half mill to aid the county fair.
The matter came up in the shape Of
a petition which was backed up person
ally by w. A. Scott. G. E. Wilson and
J. w. Mitchell. The petition repre-
sented that the law providing for aid
to county fairs had been fully complied
with and there was no opposition tc
the proposal to levy the extra tax for
fair purposes. =
The law which provides for the levy
was passed at the last session of the
legislature. 1t provides that after the
county commissioners shall have Vot-
ed and ordered tax levied, then, at
the next general election, the question
of continuing the annual levy and col
lection of the tax shall be submitted to
a vote Of the people. ~
The levy Of half mill which was al

MAY FORM NEW ORDER.

New York, July Io.-It is now near
ly two months since the Supreme
Council Of the Royal Arcanum met at
Atlantic City and decided to advance
the insurance rates Of the order. This
has given sufficient time for the SEN
timcnt Of the rank and file OF the order
to crystalline and it has now become
evident that some decisive step must
be taken in the right direction or else
the order is bound to lose large per
ccntagc of its membership. During
the last two or three weeks state con-
vcntons have been held in New York,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Pennsylvania and other states, vigor
ous protests at the increase in rates
have been made and in some instances
there have been open threats OF seces-
sion and the formation OF new order.
The secession movement has gained
great headway and its promoters have
even gone SO far as to agree upon the
name for the new order, that OF the
Loyal Arcanum.
The rates agreed upon by the su-
preme council at its May meeting ad-
vance the monthly payments OF mem-
bers at the age OF 20 and beyond from
$50 to 500 per cent. To rescind this
action seven grand councils, each. rep
|resenting state, must send writ
ten request to the supreme regent tic
call meeting of the supreme coun-
Gil. 1t is said that the required Num-
Der have already made such request,
but so far no action has been taken
by the supreme regent or the supreme
council in the matter. ~ =
The objectors have urged all
members to retain their mem
bership until October ae2 / In
the hope that the new rates
may be withdrawn. If after that date
the supreme. council still fails of ac-
ton it is likely that immediate steps
will be taken to form new and rival
order. Those fayoring the secession
movement declare that more than so
per cent of the members OF the Royal
Arcanum are ready to withdraw and
join new order. '' .l
