Gust Present Officers
RAISED THEIR OWN SALARIES

There is a revolt on foot among
members of the Modern Woodmen of
America against the present admins
tration, the result of which may be q
general ousting Of officers and a, cut
in salaries at the next head camp meet
| ing in Buffalo.
DR.. E. E. Kalmerton, Milwaukee,
former editor Of the defunct Woodmen
paper, SO declared on Sunday. At a
meeting Of Woodmen in Kewanee. ILL.,,
on April 2 the "in5argents passed
resolutions condemning the officers of
the order and formed an organization
to fight the present regime.
II look for the ousting of the pres
ent officers at the head camp in Buff
falo,' said Dr. Kalmerton. "All
salaries will be cut down again. Most
of this trouble started from the salary
increase at the head camp in Rock
Island, Ill, last June.
con the first day of the camp the
625 delegates proceeded to raise their
pay from S. to $40 day and increase
their mileage allowance accordingly.
The head officers were then reelected.
with but one exception. Those Of
6crs were willing to take the posi-
ltions again at the old salary. But ca
the day following the election the
delegates voted a. salary increase of
from 33 to 100 per cent all around.
The head counsel salary, formerly
$4,000 a year, was doubled. Directors
used to get $15 day for the actual
time spent. They now get $4,000 a
year.
"Officers' salaries are paid out of a
per capita tax. This used to be ST,
but the Rock Island camp raised it to
$1.20, TO cover the salary boost
"The whole affair was wrong, I
think. y
DR.. Kalmerton is pessimistic over
the future of the order. He says that
the increasing death rate, coupled
with the low assessments, spells in
evitable ruin.
"The order can not live long on
the present basis" he said "The
time for a reckoning is coming.
Every year increases the death rate.
Of course, this can be COPIED with for
a time by boosting the membership
vigorously, but the assessment rate
is too low.

THE CITY CEMETERY

The Cemetery Association has al
ready begun work and before the sum-
mer is over there is very good pros
pect that the great Improvements
planned when the association took
over the care of the cemetery from
the city will be we'll on their way to
completion. The response Of the more
wealthy lot owners to the appeal for
funds for a new fence which will cost
in the neighborhood Of $4,000, has
been most generous and the directors
are hopeful that the entire amount
will be raised within the next sixty
days which will give them time
enough to build this summer. Not
only is the association doing great
work, but lot owners generally are i'm
proving their holdings and setting out
costly shrubs and Towering plants and
the association is determined that
every improvement made by lot own
ers shall be protected and that the
vandals who formerly defaced monu-
ments and tore down or carried away
bodily flowers and shrubs without fear
of consequences shall be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law. Non resi-
dents who have friends and relatives
buried here are taking q deep interest
in the work of the association and
many of them are providing for the per
petual care of the last resting places
of their dead through the association
and it is hoped that when the fact
that there is such an association in
charge of the cemetery becomes more
widely known that more of these non
resident lot owners will come forward
and bear their share of the. expenses
of this work so that there will be
only a few lots the care Of which will
fall wholly upon the treasury of the
association.

at Her Home on Durkee
Ave. Tuesday Evening
PROMINENT IN LIFE OF CITY

Mrs. Mary Nicoll Theirs, wife of
Edward c. Tiers and woman
prominent in many walks Of life in
Kenosha, died at her home on Durkee
avenue just after six o'clock Tuesday
evening after a long illness from a
disease Of the heart. Mrs Theirs had
been i'll for more than two years and
for many weeks her condition had
been regarded as critical. The end
was peaceful and surrounded by the
immediate members Of the family she
fell asleep in the sleep that knows no
awakening. Services over the re-
mains will be held from the family
residence at two O'Clock Thursday
afternoon. They will be in charge of
the Rev. E. T. Farrill. Interment will
be in the family plat at the Kenosha
City cemetery.
While the death Of Mrs. Theirs was
not unexpected. the announcement of
it came as a great sorrow to her many
friends in the city. They had watched
her long struggle against disease
knowing that the battle was a losing
one.
Mrs Theirs was daughter of the
late John Nicoll, pioneer manufact-
,,ror oe L[opocbo Sbo xUoe barn IN
Kenosha Dec %, 1852. She was ed
ucated in the Kenosha schools and
graduated from the High School as a
member of the class of 1876. She
was married to Mr. Theirs in Kenosha

mother and two brothers, Robert
Nicoll of Kenosha and George Nicoll
of st. Louis, Mo.
Mrs. Theirs had been prominent
among the women of Kenosba for
many years. AS a student she did
much to uplift the intellectual tone
Of the women of the city. She was
one Of the founders Of the Kenosha
Woman's Club and took a great inter
est in club work in the state. She
served as president Of the Woman s
Club for two years and for number
OF years as its secretary. She was
first vice-president of the State Fed
GRAFTON at the Wausau convention sew
eral years ago and would have been
the leader of the Federation in the
state had it not been for her illness.
She was woman deeply interested
in church work and as member Of
the First Congregational church did
much to advance the work of that
church and the general religious work
of the city.
A woman Of kindly nature and
cheerful disposition she was a gen
eral favorite among those who knew
her best and her death will come as
La personal sorrow in many homes.

MILK PRICES

The announcement is made that the
Milk Producers Association has won
it's fight for fair treatment and that
the big dealers are about to sign con-
tracts at the increased price demanded
by the producers and we are glad of
it. There can be no question but that
the restrictions thrown around the bust
ness in the way of sanitary regulations
have increased the cost of production
and there is not the slightest reason
why the farmers should stand the cost
of putting all these reforms into eff
feet. The people for whose benefit the
changes in the system of producing
milk at the originating points were
put in force are the ones to pay the
Increased cost and they are the con-
sumers. We believe that the majority
of the consumers are perfectly willing
to pay the net cost of this increased
protection, but nothing additional
They do not propose to have the mid
dlemen and retail dealers work them
for greatly increased profits on the
tions recently put in force have in
creased their expenses enormously for
they have not Most Of the improved
methods of handling the milk after it
comes from the producer were put into
use some time ago and the consumer
has already stood one or two raises in
the retail price for them. In this con
nection it may be remarked that the
statement of one Of the leading agents
of the dealers that CIT is unlikely that
there will be any change in the Gre
taiI price of milk in Chicago or other
cities, but it is true that we shall be
forced to pay about Is cents hundred
more to the milk producers sounds
rather fshy. In the end the consumer
always pays. In this case he expects
to pay, but not too much Certainly
not more than the additional cost of
the changes put into force for his
benefit

Saturday has Chance to Survive

William Neashner, the German who
shot himself on last Saturday night
and was found in thicket north of

alive and what is more to the point,
he is entirely conscious. The physi-

bad symptoms Monday night or this

crisis in his condition will be passed
today. In the meantime there is be-
ing anxious inquiry to find just who

found but he was not well supplied

bills. Alderman Swift Of the pauper
