Something About Woodmen of World
Just Introduced in Calumet.

The Woodmen of the World q
branch of which, known as Calumet
Camp, No. 169, was instituted here
last Friday evening was founded in
1890 by Hon. Joseph Cullen Root, orig
inator and founder of all orders Of
Woodcraft. 1t is Nthe second largest
order OF it's kind in the United States,
having a membership of over 100000
and is said to be the only society OF
its nature that has had an increase in
membership and emergency fund from
the date of origin. Its rates are claim
ed to be adequate and on this fact as
sessnent rates have been established
entry until death. To meet the ma
tural and inevitable increased cost
with increasing ages without increas-
ing rates of assessments an emergen-
cy fund has been created. which now
aggregates over $12,0OO0O0. which rep
resents the slight excess paid by the
members over current cost. the profit
on lapsed members and accumulating
interest on this fund.
The order Is said to have made the
greatest growth OF any order Of its age
in the world, ard its gain in members
last year exceeded all previous rec
ords, the increase in membership being
61, 1884 and increase of emergency fund
5000. O.230.33. It's fraternal and social
advantages are superlative and It's
I'm state
in the union and in the dominion of
Canada.
The grave of a deceased member ls
marked by q beautiful stone or granite
monument of the value of 500, when
is assured by his certificate in addi-
tion to full payment to his benehclar-
les of all of his insurance.
When a member reaches the age %
20 years he is entitled to receive one
tenth the face value of his certi1cate
each year for old age disability bene-
hts,
The w. q. w. said is to have an
impressive and Identified ritual. It's fu-
neral and burial services are enopiihs
and comforting and do nc' trench on
the opinion or belief of az" religious
denomination. One ceremo peculiar
to the w. o. w. is the unveillng OF
monuments, tribute to the memory
deceased members.

Campaign in Michigan Against Ex
cessive Express Co. Charges.

Lansing, Mich, March 22.-Chair-
man Glasgow of the state railway COM
mission will soon begin a campaign
against the excessive and indiscrim-
mate rates charged by express COM
panies in Michigan. The decision Of
the supreme court on Saturday relative
TO the commission having power 70
determine the rates to be charged by
the railroads of the state regarding
excess baggage was hailed as a signal
victory for the commission, as the
court plainly gives the commission
the power which Mr.. Glasgow has con-
tended all along that it had a perfect
right to.
That the various express companies
are charging exorbitant rates for the
carrying of merchandise has long been
charged, and now that the railway
commission is to take hand in the
matter, the outcome will be watched
with eagerness.

COMET HIDDEN BY SUN.
Astronomers Give Up Trying to Study
Heavenly Visitor Until April.

Chicago, March 22.-Halley's comet
has gone into seclusion for about a
month. During that time it will be
shielded from the earth by golden wells
OF sunlight. This announcement was
made by Prof Edwin b. Frost director
of the Yerkes observatory, Williams
Bay Wis.
The reason for the retiring of the
comet is that 1t is so nearly in line
between the earth and the sun that II
cannot be seen against the bright
background There is a strong prob
ability, too, according to the professor
that the tail of the comet will be long
enough to envelop the earth on May

ent." he said today. "It is so close 20
the sun we can't do anything with IT..
When will il be visible again? Well,
about April 5. think; but then Vt
will appear IN the morning sky, wher-
as heretofore we have seen it In the
