MODERN WooDMEN.

Ionic comp, NO. 1894, held it's regular
meeting Monday night in Foresters'
hall. The usual routine business was
despatched in good form. Among the
communications received by the camp
is one from the head camp explaining
the tuberculosis scanatorium establish
cd by the order at Colorado Springs.
At the December meeting of the ex-
ecutive council of the Modern WOOD
men society held at the headquarters
Of the society in Rock Island, Ill, It
was decided to CONDUCT that society's
Springs, Col, for the treatment OF
members afflicted with tuberculosis
free of all charge to members.
The Modern Woodmen society, sew
eral months since, acquired l,3SO acres
of land within seven miles of Colo
RADIO Springs and has established
thereon an up to date sanatorium, the
tent colony plan being employed. me ae
first colony is equipped to care for 90
patients, to which number admission
must be limited for the present
The tents are octagonal structures,
with single roofs canvas sides, hard
wood floors on solid cement founda-
lions, Nheated by a central plant,
equipped with all modern conyeniences,
such as telephones etc, and each tent
viii accommodate one patient. An adj
nnsnistration building for physicians.
nurses, dining hall, baths of all kinds,
etc. stands in the center o. the col
cny.
Only those consumptive members
who are durable, or whose lives may be
prolonged for considerable length OF
time will be adlpitted as patients.
1t is expected that another colony OF
60 tents win be ready for July, 1909,
and that acceptable patients will be
ready to occupy it in full by that time.
A movement is already under way to
equip the second colony plant. Each
tent, completely equipped, represents
an expense of $3.50, and number Of
local camps, or lodges, OF the society
have decided to donate tents. As there
are over 5000 local camps of Modern
Woodmen, and over 100000 members,
II Is anticipated that several colonies
wdll soon be equipped in this way.
The members and loca lcamps Of the
society have voluntarily contributed to
the sanatorium fund over $4,000, and
at the last national convention o per-
rnanent tax Of 10 cents per member was
voted to the support OF this work.
The last official Woodmen reports
show that during the years 1S91-1907,
inclusive, 14.5 per cent. of the total
mortality or SIS deaths, were charged
TO tuberculosis and that 1879 per cent.
Of the total insurance losses in those
years. or 9,065, 900, resulted from this
cause. As the mortality experience of
the Modern Woodmen society has been
rem arxably favorable, being bat 20 per
cent of the expected at all ages under
the national fraternal congress table,
q death rate Of but 629 per 1000-or
but 4.9s per 1000, If the experience of
the first five membership years be in
ciuded-the much heavier insurance
losses inflicted upon other societies ex-
psrencing a higher mortality may be

food, oxygen and a few other minor
requisites are essential to animal
life, but the following yarn from an
exchange upsets the theory complete
ly. while working in the Lakeside
coal mine at Sandy Coulee, near
Great Falls, Montana, a miner made
a remarkable discovery which is at
tracing a good deal of curiosity, i'm
bedded in the solid rock, In which he
was at work he uncovered a lizard,
which so far as the formation of the
rock and the surrounding country
is concerned, must have been there
for thousands of years. There was
absolutely no ean by which the
lizard could have gotten, in there
since nature closed up the gap. When
first uncovered the reptile appeared
to be torpid, and while it moved,
it made no effort to escape. When

SILVER AND COPPER SELL OFF.
Silver Still observation-disclosures Off
Fractionally-John Hays Ham
mond Submits Opinicay

Both silver and copper metal
quotations fell off some this week,
D D selling down to 10 IA cents
a pound, while silver declined to
SO .7-8 cents per ounce.
Silver for the past three weeks has
been slowly declining from it's re-
cent high level of SO cents an ounce.
No particular reason seems respon-
sib1e for the decline except the gen.
eral unrest existing over the silver
market because no n seems to
know specifically what ails it.
John Hays Hammond, in an in
terview to a local newspaper agency
is of the opinion that the silver quo
tation will not reach a satisfactory
price until an International body OF
some kind is convened to- institute
some measures to prevent a further
wasting away of the price OF the met
nj. The production, both in the
United States and Mexico, is incre-
asing constantly and there is very
little profit in the production OF the
white metal except at Cobalt.
The copper quotations has simply
shaded off because of the slackening
up of the demand. There is no rad
zeal change in the copper situation.
Consumption is maintaining an in
creased level and while the output
is large there is no bugbear in sight
of constantly increasing SURPRISES.
The metal has been selling below
13 Ia cents in small lots, though
no pressure has been brought to
force out any holdings.

After the

After several wee continuous
practicing, the McGill team an
nounces that it is ready to do
things to any of the mines in the
district and the first to 60 up against
the Smelter lads will be the Nevada
Northern team. which now holds the
championship.
If the dope that is being handed
out by some of the wise ones Is to
be taken on the square, then the
district, after tomorrow, will have
its champion ball players located at
McGill. That the Smelter team did
not do itself justice on the fourth,
cannot be gainsaid by any who saw
the game. They played in the worst
of luck, which alone accounted for.
their defeat.
The Railroaders are not saying
much these days but it is known
that they have a team that can play
ball and if there is anything in the
district which has a chance against
them, it must be the nine at McGill.
Game will be called at McGill at 8

season., had better take the train

Myers Talks Of
Ely Central
Property

Since it has been decided to de-
velope the Ely Central a great deal
of local interest is felt in the out
come of that property. President
Turner has some mining men of
Utah interested with him in this pro-
ject, and 1t Is known to all mining
engineers who are familiar with that
section that there is an abundance
of ore in the estate of that COM
pany. When A. ID. Myers, he of
Goldfield fame, was in the city, says
the Salt Lake Telegram, he did not
hesitate to say that he considered it
one of the most promising PROPOSE
lions in Ely. Quoting him exactly,
he says:
"One of the largest and most prom
Using estates in the district is that
of the Ely Central Copper company,
which consists of more than 500 acres
entirely surrounded by Nevada Con-
solidated, Giruo,X, Cumberland Ely
and Consolidated Coppermines. fully

the announcement was made nat

girlhood and boyhood friendship Mrs.
Myers owes the effort in behalf of Sc
curing her freedom.
ITO me, this case is pathetic in
the extreme" explained Mr.. Sullivan.
When | knew Anna Myers as a
young lady she was one of the most
beautiful and accomplished girls in
the surrounding country. I could
not and cannot imagine her as one
who would deliberately burn the
house of her daughter. And yet the
evidence points conclusively in that
direction. There Is no doubt in my
mind or in anybody's who is familiar
with the details of the case that she
did not burn the house.
One night about a veal ago Mrs.
Myers arouse and in the dead of
night, with no other clothing than
her nightgoWn, proceeded to her
daughters house. With her she had
a quantity Of coal oil and shavings.
In some manner, unknown to this
day, she gained an enterance to the
house. With much carr she saturat-
ed the shavings with the coal oil and
distributed them in different places
in the basement. She lighted the
match and then carefully stole from
the house. The cracking and smell
of the smoke soon awakened the
members of the sleeping household,
who were startled by the terrible
danger confronting them. The fire
soon extinguished and little
damage done.
She was indicted by the grand jury
prosecuted and found guilty; sen-
tenced to spend a life imprisonment
behind the gray walls of Anamosa.
At that time, sentiment was strongly
against her. In the minds of her
neighbors and friends it was one of
the blacklist deeds ever perpetrated
No one understood her case, not even
her husband or daughter. They at
that time did not realize, nor did any
of her friends, that she was not res
ponsibfe for her act.
A medical examinations, however;
showed that Mrs. Myers was suffer-
ing from the peculiar physical afflic-
ton that explains her cas Friends

cheerful woman and a good wife
were shocked to notice her mOrose
