of Commercial College
Money.

Aberdeen, MAY 81. While a gang CT
Great Northern section hands were
driving between Aberdeen and Plano
on a hand car a few days ago they dis
covered a wallet containing what ap-
peared to be So. 900 in Canadian cur
rency and $32. 900 in drafts. The
wallet was discovered by Wendlin
Blando. but G. Fl. johnson. foreman of
the crew, took the wallet and its con-
tents, stating that he would find the
owner. As the owner has not been
found and as johnson refuses to sur
render the money Blando has taken the
matter up before the states attorney
in the hopes of recovering possession of
his find. UpDn examination of the
contents of the pocketbook by the
Great Northern agent here it was
found that the money was that com
monty used in commercial courses In
business colleges, the drafts being of
the same value.

the men below were so scared that no
intelligent information could be got
from them.
II was after nine clock when debris
was cleared sufficiently 10 allow succor

They huddled together in the short
drift. not knowing what had happened
above; whether the mine had caved
and doomed them TO slow death or
some other form of calamity happened
that meant suffering for them. Not
until the workmen got well along
through the mass Of debris were they
aware that help WAS at hand.
The three men were taken 10 sur
face and all hands turned to the work
of recovering the corpse Of the dead
man. This was made very difficult
by the inflow OF water which had
drowned out the bottom of the shaft
As soon as possible the pump WAS
started and by Monday morning the
shaft WAS clear OF water It was then
necessary to clear of the pile of brok-
en- ore and timber that covered the
man and that was slow work.
The search for the unfortunate man
was further hampered by the break

flooded the bottom of the shaft badly

sas and Missouri, the rates were
strongly resisted. Several test cases
were brought in circuit courts result
ing in injunctions against enforcement
of the new rates on tho ground that
they were not imperative TO the
financial safety of the order, that
since the benefits of the organization
are mutual and reciprocal, the rates
can not bee enforced without the con
sent of the majority of the member
ship.
Tho head camp in the summer OF
1913 proposed referendum, submit
ting seven different rate plans for the
selection of the membership. But the
impression gained currency that the
referendum was a ruse, and the result
was vote of less than one per cent
OF the members The executive conn

Of the plan declare the whole proposal
was move to transform the insurance
plan Of the order from fraternal to
"old line I" They contend that the
question will never be settlad until
this movement has been downed, and
that this can be done only by remov-
ing the present head camp officers and
"electing others who represent the
views of the membership. This they
will attempt to do Mt the Toledo meet
ing.
Though the city of Toledo will be
filled with Woodmen, the voting dele
