DEATH FOLLOWS
OIL EXPLOSION
Mrs. Marie Frandsen, Wife
of Peter Frandsen, Dies
Tuesday From Burns Re-
ceived Recently.
GROWS GRADUALLY WORSE

Mrs. Marie Frandsen, wife of Peter
Frandsen, the well known street COM
tractor, died Tuesday night at eleven
O'Clock at the Kenosha Hospital from
lockjaw resulting from burns received
two weeks ago in a furnace explosion
at the home at 1896 Selleck Aveue.
The deceased had grown steadily worse
since the time of the accident in spite
of the efforts of several local physicians
and specialists from Chicago and for
several days death had not been I'M
expected.
The accident which caused the death
happened Wednesday morning, two
weeks ago, Mrs. Frandsen, in attempt
ing to start fire in the furnace of the
home on Selleck Avenue, threw. some
coal oil on the kindling and paper
which was already in the furnace. The
oil and the gas created from it was
ignited by smouldering Goals and the
flames from the door of the furnace
caught the clothing of Mrs. Frandsen.
Her thirteen year old daughter, Marie
Frandsen, who saw the explosion, help
ed to extinguish the flames that en-
ve1oped her mother and called help
Immediately.
AT that time Mrs Frandsen was TAX
en- Immediately to the Kenosha Hospit-
al. Tt was found that she had been
burned badly about the limbs, the arms
and the face but it was not believed
then that the injuries would prove so
serious. The patient failed, however,
to rally from the shock of the injuries
and gradually grew worse until Sun
day when lockjaw developed.
Mrs. Marie Frandsen was one Of the
best known and prominent among the
Danish women of Kenosha. She was
born January Z, 1873, in Denmark, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Christ Knud-
sen. Fifteen years ago she was mar
ried to Peter Frandsen and the two
came to Kenosha to make their home
more than ten years ago. Mrs. Frand-
sen was member of the Danish Luz
theran Church and has been one of the
most prominent workers among the
congregation. She was also a member
CT the Danish Sisterhood and had aid
ed materially in its great progress in
Kenosha in recent years. Her death
comes as a great loss to both of these
organizations and as a personal sorrow
to her many friends in Kenosha.
Mrs. Frandsen is survived by her
husband, Peter Frandsen, and by one
daughter, Marie Frandsen of Kenosha.
The funeral services will be held Fri
day afternoon at the late home in Sell
leck Avenue after which interment will
be made in the family plot in the Green
Ridge Cemetery.

The order had been collecting an as
.sessment of 20 cents per $1,000 for a
patriotic fund to meet the death claims
of its soldier and sailor members, and
about $3,000,00o was on hand in this
fund. This will be transferred to the
general fund until the present emer-
gency is over, and the collection Of
the patriotic fund assessment viii be
continued until the new rates can be
put into force.
This viii take several months, as a
law was passed in Illinois at the time
the 1912 increase in rates was defeat

law prescribes the manner in which
this referendum is to be taken, and it
is estimated that it cannot be COM
pieted and The new rates put into effect
before July /. It is not believed that
the referendum can defeat the action

Seven Hundred Members of
FraternaI Order In Keno
sha County Must Pay
More for Insurance Now.
FLU" BLAMED FOR GOOsT
Fifty Per Cent Increase TO Old Mem
bers But Before New Rate Is In OPP
Grafton It Must Be Submitted To
Referendum of All the Members.

Seven hundred members in Kenosha
county and more than a million menu
bers Of Modern Woodmen Of America
in the nation, the largest among the
fraternal insurance organizations, had
their rates increased Wednesday to meet
the abnormal death losses resulting
from the influenza epidemic. On the
present membership the increase is a
fat advance of so per cent, and all
new members joining hereafter will
have to pay materially increased rates.
Even this is not strictly actuarial
"adequate rate -, but it is as far as the
membership could be induced to go at
this time.
The action was taken at the spe-
cial meeting of the head camp of
the order, in session at the Hotel
Sherman in Chicago, Wednesday,. 1t
was called when the enormous in
fuenza losses showed that the $12,000,-
900 of securities which had been ac-
cumulated during more than twenty
years, would be consumed before June,
and that unless prompt action was TAX
en- the order would not be able to meet
its death claims. For several years the
deaths have been 100000 year ahead
of the assessments, as the Woodmen,
operated on very low rates, and since
October the death claims have average
100000 month more than the re-
ceipts.
Two tables of rates were adopted,
one for new members and the other
for the present membership. The table
for new members is based upon the ex
perience of the Modern Woodmen
of America, representing the largest
number of lives in any such society.
1t is materially lower than the national
fraternal congress table of rates, the
mortality experience of the Woodmen
having been more favorable than the
mortality of the fraternals in general.
This will meet the requirements of the
adequate rate laws Of the various
states. They are the increased rates
which were adopted by the head camp
which met in Chicago in 1912, but
which were repudiated at that time by
the membership at large, which Sc
cured injunctions in a number of states
preventing their collection.
The table for the present members
increases the present rates SO per cent,
beginning with rs cents per $1,000 of
insurance at ages II to IS, and increas-
ing by 5 cent steps until $3.50 is
reached at the age 38, above which the
rate is stationary.
The new monthly assessments for
900 insurance are as follows, apply
ing at age of entry instead of at at
tanned age:

THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS ;,


A particular and sentimental interest
to Americans centers about the novel of
The Shepherd of the HillsD a mic
Irritation which is to be shown in
this city. A story more typically Am
erican could not be written. The
scenes are laid in the Ozark Noun
tains, visited by thousands of tourists
every year. A casual visit there show
ed Mr.. Wright its possibilities and he
remained to write a story Of present
day life IN that country. This story is
now known in every land, and any
one who has read the book can imme-
diately understand how wonderfully
it could be shown in pictures. The pic
turesque and sturdy mountaineers are
faithfully portrayed, and the scenic
background is lavish in ifs display of
nature s beauties in Southwestern

of the book lend themselves admir-
ably well, especially the element Of
mystery which pervades the whole
story and which is so startlingly clear
