After the meeting on Tuesday even
ing when the revision plans were ex-
planned by some of the leading officers
of the association the Kenosha Wood
men seemed about ready to acknowl-
edge the wisdom and necessity of the
proposed rate revision and unless
chere is decided change in sentiment
it is probable that the delegate from
Pike Woods Camp will be instructed
to support the revision plans and vote
for the new rates. The new rates will
meet the demands of the insurance de-
partments Of all states and it is be-
lieved will absolutely insure the per-
manancy of the society. Protests
against any raise in rates are natural
enough, but the hard logic of facts
and figures are against the men MAX
ing them. The experience of the past
has taught that all fraternal insurance
organizations must increase their rates
as the average age Of the membership
increases unless sinking fund to
meet the rising death rate is built up
from the beginning and it is infinitely
better that the Woodmen begin to pro
tect the society and guarantee the
safety of it's policies when the order
is in the full tide of it's prosperity
than to wait until it is forced to do
so. 1t is all right for man who
only wants temporary protection to
get the cheapest possible rate, but
most of the Kenosha Woodmen expect
to carry their policies in the society
as long as they live and they realize
that it would be better for them to
pay a little more now when they can
afford it than to wait twenty years
perhaps and then have to meet much
heavier payments or drop out and lose
their insurance at an age when it is
impossible to get insurance in any
Other company, The growth of the
Woodmen has been wonderful, but it
is too much to expect that the ratios
of increases in membership shown in
the past few years can be kept up in
definitely and the organization can
meet any loss in membership follow
ing a raise in rates better now than
later. The change may be in the
nature of a surgical operation, but it
is a necessary one.

CANT WEAR COATS
Mail Carriers WorIsng Out
of Postoffice Must Brave
Wintry Weather.
NO OBJECTION IN KENOsHA

While ordinary folks are going
about these days clad in fur overcoats,
fur caps and mittens, fur gloves,
sweaters, heavy underwear, wooden
socks, and in fact almost any con
ceivable disguise in which to keep
warm, mail carriers brave the WINERY
blasts in apparently the same costumes
as adorn their persons in July.
This regularity has caused consid-
cradle comment, especially since the
mercury column has almost disappear
ed down into the bulb. 1t is due to
one of those peculiar and inexpica bic
rules of the postoffice department
which prescribe that mail carries shall
wear nothing over their uniforms.
According to one Of these very i'm.
portant and accommodating person
ages, mail carriers can wear as much
or anything they please under their
uniforms, but nothing on top, hot or
cold, rain or shine, so while Uncle
Sam does not decree the size or color
of union suits or wooden socks, he does
insist that his carriers shall present
the same unalterable appearance day
in and day out.
There are some who seem to think
that such ruling on the part OF the
government is not at all fair. They
point to the fact that in the case of
policemen, these are also very impor-
tant personages, and allowed to wear
good warm overcoat during the cold
weather because their work takes
them into the open air at practically
ali time.
The mail carriers, it is pointed out,
are in practically the same class
Their work takes them out Of doors all
the time and it is argued that it would
be only fair on the part of the govern
ment to allow some suitable overcoat
to be worn. It is argued also hat the
mail carriers are the only government
servants who come under this rule, as
soldiers, sailors, ETC., are allowed to
wear heavy overcoats. The mail men
themselves make very little complaint.
perhaps due to the fact that they are
used to it now and that they realize
that such complaint would have to
be general to have any effect.

REoRGANIzE OLD CLUB.
Harmonic Singing Club to Be Rejuve-
mated as Result of BANQUET

QaL6Q dS hcSu1t Va Dang u6L
AS result of a banquet held at Ger
mania hall on Wednesday evening i'm
mediate steps are to be taken to re-
iuvenate the old Harmonic Singing
club ,one of the oldest musical organi-
cations in the city. At the dinner last
night fourteen Of the old members of
the club were present and all of them
were in favor of the reorganization. A
meeting has been called for a week
from next Sunday at which time it is
expected that the reorganization plan
will be carried out. The Harmonic club
was first organized in 1892 and for
many years it was one of the most ac-
tive Of the musical organizations Of
the city. In 1905 failing interest and
internal dissentions resulted in the
club being disbanded, but now the older
musicians of the North Side are anxious
to have the organization revived. At
the dinner plans were made for holding
regular meetings and for securing li-
rector to have charge of series of
concerts.

READY TO LET CONTRACT.
Late Joseph Tully Successful Bidder
for Building Wire Rope Plant.

The late Joseph H. Tully was the
successful bidder for the contract for
the building of the new plant of the
McComber-Whyte Company and only
a few minutes after sudden death re-
moved tie contractor on Tuesday
evening a telephone message was re-
ceived from Chicago stating that the
company was ready to sign up the con-
tracts and have the work started. The
death of the former alderman will not
interfere with the building OF the
plant and the sons of Mr.. Tully, all
of whom are practical builders, viii at
once take the contract to do the work
for their father. 1t is declared that
the contract will be signed at once
and that the work on the plant will
be started within short time. The
extreme cold weather makes building
impossible, but by the time the wealth
er moderates the Tully boys will have
made arrangements to continue the
business of their father.

TO Use BLO9DHOUNDs
Chicago Telephone Company
to Seek Wire Thieves with
Blood Hounds.
WILL OPERATE OUT OF CITY

Bafded by daring thieves who, under
cover of night, have stolen hundreds
of miles of copper wire, taking it
from the poles and carting it away
to nearby hiding place from which
| it is again carried by night to the re-
ceiving "fence" detectives in the
employ of the Chicago Telephone Com
pany are planning to use a new
method in the capture of these
criminals.
Bloodhounds, already widely used in
| the capture of noted criminals, will be
brought into the field in an effort to
send the wire thieves to the peniten-
| tiary. Experiments conducted during
the past few weeks have demonstrated
the value of these dogs in following
the scent and capturing the crooks
red-handed.
Because no district of the company S
property has been invaded by wire
thieves more than near Kenosha and
| all cities down the north shore it is
interesting to know that the company
has decided upon to stop the thefts
and accordingly bloodhounds may be
brought into the local district to be
held in readiness for the thieves in
case repetition Of their thefts occur.
! Several weeks ago a brace of blood
hounds were stationed at Oak Park
with high power automobile in wait
ing, three detectives ready for instant
action. Special devices for detecting
wire cutting, the first operations in
thievery, were attached to telephone
toll lines in nearby exchanges.
At the first alarm the machine was
rushed to the district where wire
thieves were at work, and despite the
darkness and other obstacles, the dogs
finally located the thieves in saloon
several miles distant. "
During the past few years wire
thefts have become more and more
frequent. In the absence of well
organized effort at detection, the
thieves found little hazard In pulling
down from one to three miles of wire
and latcl arranging for its sale to
travelling junkers. To the cellers this
wire brought only a fraction of it's
real value, although mile Of copper
wire would sometimes net from So
to So.
| It is this signal success that has in
duced the Chicago Telephone Com
pany to. arrange for dogs in various
4 districts, to be held for instant
service at any point within twenty
mile radius.
Thieves who have been captured re-
Gently have all been sent to the peni-
tertiary. Authorities believe that the
dogs will insure the capture of tine
organized gang now operating in ter
ritory not far distant from Chicago.

WORK ON NEW ORDINANCE.
Building Ordinance to Be Presented ti
Common Council Next Monday.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart and
City Engineer August Baltzer are bus
lily engaged drawing a new building
ordinance for the city and it is expect
ed that the draft of the ordinance wilt
be presented to the city council next
Monday evening. The ordinance is
aimed to give the city some power to
condemn old buildings and it will pro-
vide for the appointment of building
inspector. It is probable that the duties
of this office will be merged with
those Of the office of city engineer for
the present The new ordinance is In
no way building code and it IS ex-
pected that the big building code now
pending before the council will some
time be pulled from it's pigeon hole In
the office of the city clerk and after

Many of the people of the city will
be interested in the suit started
against the telephone company to test
the right of the company to force the
payment of its bills under its present
system of making collections, but it
will probably be found that the com
pany is well within its legal rights in
any action that has been taken. 1t
is not likely that anything new has
been sprung on the subscribers in
Kenosha.
