ARCANUM'S REVOLT SPREADS
New Works View of Situation Has
Has Protestants in Majority.

NEW YORK, June 23.-The revolt
in the Royal Arcanum over the pro-
posed increase in the assessments has
quickly spread until it involves every
Jurisdiction in the order. Reports
coming in from all over this country
and Canada indicate an overwhelm-
ing sentiment among the 100000 men,
bers aginst putting the proposed new
rates into effect.
A demand for a reconsideration by
the supreme council of the whole ques-
ton of the cost of insurance mas be-
come so universal and insistent that
the executive committee of the SUI
preme council has decided to hold a
special session in Boston on June 20
to consider protests against the new
insurance rates.
The general complaint Is:
First-The proposed rates are high
er that is justified by the mortality
experience of the order.
Second-They are promulgated with
out notice to the rank and file of the
membership.
Third-The proposed rates are I'M
fairly proportioned and bear too hard
on the old members who founded the
Royal Arcanum.
Fourth-There is no guarantee that
the rates will not be jumped again.
after the lapse of few years, just as
they were jumped in 1898 and now
again in 1905.
One of the ld-line insurance COM
panies, it is rumored in the Royal Ar
canum circles, has laid aside $50O,O00
to be devoted to the disruption Of the
Royal Arcanum. 81

OTTAWA, Kas., June 23.-This city
is to be the scene of a noteworthy

tested itself when the Kansas legisla
tablish a state oil refinery to break the
monopoly in Kansas of the STANDARD
Oil company.
Arrangements have been made fo1

William Travers Jerome of New York
Thomas w. Lawson of oBston, Clar-

and address the people of the west.
To know the full significance of the
coming of Folk and others to Kansas
would be to have felt the growth OF
that remarkable sentiment which
surged upon the Kansas legislature
last winer. In the face Of constitution
al questions, influence of powerful lob
byists and an open threat Of misfor-
tunes to come from the country's
greatest monopoly, this sentiment put
through a series of antiStandard Oh
and anti-railroad measures.
It is this spirit, with the Ottawa

which asked Lawson to come and tel

the System; La Toilette to come

already partly known in Kansas, OF

LANE CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR.
While an Aggressive Cummins Man,
He Is in Splendid Standing.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, June 23.-In the
fact, just made public, that the choice
of the Cummins faction in Iowa for
candidate for governor is Joseph r.
opment which will do much to clar-
ify the murky political condition.
1t is vital. to Cummins' interests to
be represented upon the state ticket.
If he is to remain before the public
and be a factor in the senatorial race.
he must keep in the center of the po-
litical ring. AS he is to retire from
the governorship, this could be done
only by being recognized in the dis
tribution of the state offices.
In view of this fact, the Cummins
supporters have been worried by the
failure of standardbearer to appear.
They had considered A. B. Funk of
Spirit Lake, but the latter has said
that if George D. Perkins of Sioux
City becomes a candidate, the eleventh
district should support him.
In Joseph r. Lane, however, the
Cummins men have turned to a man
who is probably in the best stragetic
position, as regards the Cummins and
opposing forces, to be found in the
state. For Lane is recognized as the
,,< in c
the representative Of the second dis
trict. Dawson was private secretary
Of Senator Allison, and Allison has
been classed with the politicians who
would like to see Cummins retired
from political pre-eminence. While
not an aggressive anti Cummins man,
he is at the top in the councils of that
faction and his word with the stand
patters could not be ignored.
Lane, though an attorney with a
large practice, gave up his time last
fall to Dawson's candidacy. When he
became Dawson's manager it was the
general belief that it would be i'm
possible to defeat Congressman Wade.
But Lane pulled him through and by
doing it placed Dawson's friends un-
der a political debt that cannot be
ignored.
Lane, on the other hand, mas been
an aggressive Cummins supporter, and
it would be entirely agreeable to the
governor to yield his seat to the Da-
venport man.

EXPLAINS GENERATION OF LIFE
Famous Expert Tells How He De-
veIopes the Radiobes.

LONDON, June 23-Professor Burke
in speaking Of his discovery of spon-
taneous generation, describes his pro-
cess as follows:
medium, consisting of extract of meat,
diluted in distilled water, with some
gelatin. A little salt and pepsin are
added, and this is rendered slightly
alkaline by litmus. Radium is then
put in a tiny tube, sealed and then i'm
mersed in a test tube containing gel
attn and sterilized at a high temper
allure under pressure, as other wise
the bouillon would boil and evaporate.
When the test tube is cooled the tube
containing radium is smashed by a
mechanical continuance without open
ing the tube containing the bouillon,
and the radium is dropped on the gel
attn.
after a few days in my experiment
a culture resembling a bacterial growth
developed, and in a fortnight it be-
came extensive. The tube, when open
ed at the exiration of a fortnight,
showed by the aid of a powerful mi
croscope, small bodies resembling dip
locci, but varying in size, ranging from
the minute specks to 100 one thous-
ands of an inch in diameter. The large
ones, upon reaching a certain stage of
development, showed nuclei, and when
they reached final development they
were subdivided, which fact is con-
elusive that they are not crystals,
these radiobes, as I have christened
them.
"They are not bacteria, as tubes
containing bouillon, but no radium,
produced no effects at all. They may
be a primitive form of life, and it is
possible that after countless genera
tions it has developed into bacteria
as we know them"
