der $4,000 bonds in the county court,

weapon. Connert became peeved, grab
bed the young canon and turned it to-
ward Gabel, ordering him from the
place at the time. Gabel reached over
the bar, grabbed Connert by the col
lar, shook him and then started to the
station with his prisoner.
When his case was up for hearing
this morning, Connert, through his at
torney, William Allen, asked for a
change of venue to the court of Justice

WOODMEN ENTER
INTO new STATES
Change in Rate Makes It Posi-
BILE to Add More Territory
to Field.
SCALE EFFECTIVE TODAY
First Indications Are That Departure
Has Been a Good Thing for
Adding Members.

The new rates OF the Woodmen be-
came effective today and coincident
with the change comes the announce
ment that the way is now clear for the
society to enter three states which for
merly barred it because of its former
inadequate rate. The state of Missis-
sippi has already issued a license en-
abling the Woodmen to write insur-
ance within its confines and
the insurance commissioner of
North Carolina has intimated
that the license will be issued in his
state in a few days. The third of
the new states into which the Wood
men are now privileged to so is Mas
sachusetts. Attempts during the past
10 years TO enter the latter state have
been thwarted because the commits
sioner of insurance there felt that the
rate was not sufficient to make the in
surance offered sound.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS.
limitations that the enforcing of the
new rates would hurt the society
when it came to adding new members
were not borne out by the first reports
to come in from the various field depu-
ties. They have been at work for
some time writing policies to take eff
feet with the enforcement of the new
rate, and near 1000 new certificates
were prepared for issuance today. The
new features of the insurance coupled
with its absolute soundness as is dem
onstrated by the unqualified endorse
ment of the insurance commissioners
of the country, has opened up a new
| field to the society, thousands of care
! full men who want insurance cheap,
| but at the same time absolutely safe.
The head Office force is kept busy
! changing the old members from the
! old rate to the new one, hundreds of
| them being transferred at their own
| request each day. The members have
until the first of the year to take up
the new rate but many of them do not
care to wait until then.
DISREGARD DONAHUE BILL.
The change in rates was made eff
fective today in disregard of the Don
ahue bill prohibiting this. This bill
has passed the lower house of the
state legislature, but it is hardly
thought that it will get through the
upper as it is generally thought
to be unconstitutional because retro
active.
