Des Moines, Feb. 2S.-The fight be-
tween the two factions OF the order of
Modern Woodmen of America. which
came to a head at Minneapolis last
week, is now transferred to the sew
eral states, and on Thursday of this
week representative of the head camp
is billed to address the Woodmen at
a big meeting here in support of the
movement for an increase in rates. A
lively time IS anticipated, for "insurg
ency" is rampant here, tho this is the
home of one of the directors of the
board that decided in favor Of the Mo
bile BILL
The fight in Iowa between those who
want the order to become reserve
fund insurance company and the in
surgents who want it to remain purely
fraternal is likely 20 be as important as
in Illinois, the home of the order be-
cause there are over $4,000 members
in Iowa and almost all of them are
insurging. The impression was given
out at Minneapolis, so it is said. that
the Iowa legislature had passed law
compelling fraternals to so to the
higher rates. but this is not SO, for
the FroudfOot bill as passed was so
amended as not to affect already or
ganized companies. 1t was intended to
put into effect in Iowa the Mobile
bill of rates, and hard fight was
made for it in the legislature.
Represent Best Element.
There were thirty-six delegates pres
ent at Minneapolis from Iowa and the
convention of 3S7 delegates was repre-
sentative of the best elements of the
order 1t was decided to form an or
Ganization m each and every state to
10 ist the effort to adopt the rates of
lie Mobile bil'' and to go into tho
courts if necessary to prevent the
change. 1t was figured out that if the
change is made it will raise upwards
of two hundred million dollars in
reserve fund. which will be at the dis
posal of the head officers. This raises
another delicate question, for it is re-
membered that in two instances the
order lost large sums of money in Iowa
simply because the officials had it on
hand and entrusted it to members who
failed.
The fight ut present concerns only
the Modern Woodmen. but members
say that it is one vital to the existence
of fraternalism turnout the country.

Man Charged With Forgery Declares
He Can Not Write.

Special to Times Republican,
Mason City, Feb. 2S.-Whether Iowa
can retain or North Dakota will secure
the body of Thomas Zuvas remains to
been seen. Zuvas is wanted by the
authorities of Ransom county. North
Dakota, on a charge of forgery. a. c.
Cooper, sheriff of the county, is here to
take Zuvas back with him. He is
properly armed with requisition papers,
and it all seemed to be regular with
the exception of the original charge
Zuvas secured attorneys and they seem
to be in possession of letters which
would indicate that no crime has been
committed and the case is being
opened by Judge J. ]. Clark. Zuvas
was on the stand himself and he claims
that he can not write English at ALL
and if this be true he would not be
able to commit forgery as charged.
Mrs Zuvas, his wife, also testified that
her husband could not write. Whether
the requisition will be honored seems
yet in question.

Raising Horses.

Men who are raising scrub horses
and using grade sires of any breed
are very foolish. Plug horses and those
which fit nowhere may sell low in the
future, but horses that have a trade
will sell high. Any sound saddle horse
or any light harness horse or big draft
horse or coach horse. any good chunk,
any stylish Southern horse. any ex-
press horse and. we might say, any
cavalry horse, will sell well. while the
unclassifed horse will grade at the
tail end and sell for the plug that he
is.

hen In one year it is conservatively

birds have been found with actual in

Only one hen has been found at Cor
