The Head Camp of the Modern Woodmen of America which met at In- dianapolis last week made a new schedule of rates which will soon take effect. The plan adopted is known as the Iowa Pan which changes the assessments, but the change is not a radical one. The new schedule pro vides for an increase in the old rates ranging from about 35 per cent on the younger members to as much as 90 per cent on members up to45 years (ISLS ASSISSSADLSLA SIAL SAAD AAA » limit. The old rates are as follows: AGE. $500 $1,000 “$2,000 $3,000 18 to 28 25¢ 40¢ 80e $1.20 29 to 33 25 45 85 130 31 to 37 25 45 90 1.35 38 to 39 30 50 95 1.45 40 to 41 30 50 $1.00 1.50 42 to 43 30 55 1.05 os 44 to 45 35 55 1.10 — The Iowa Plan which goes into effect as soon as it is possible to make the change is as follows: AGE. $500 $1,000 2,000 $3,000 18 to 25 25c 50e $1.00 $1.50 26 to 29 30 50 1.00 1.80 80 to 31 85 65 1.30 1.95 82 to 33 35 70 1.40 210 34 to 35 40 75 1.50 2.25 36 to 87 40 a0 1.60 240 38 to 39 45 85 1.70 2.55 40 to 41 45 90 1.80 2.70 42 to 43 50 95 1.90 ome 44 to 45 50 $1.00 2.00 nn This new plan will reduce the number of assessments from eleven under the old plan to eight under the new plan. Every member will pay his new assessment as determined by his age at the date of his certificate. It does not provide for @ step rate and does not rerate members at their present ages. Twelve assessments under the new rate compared with twelve as- sessments under old rate will increase the income over five million dollars per year. But under the old rates only eleven assessments were necessary to meet all demanda, while under the new rates only seven assessments will be necessary to meet all requirements of the order.

Saylersville, Ky, June 28.—Jobn) Henry Hacker killed Hiram Barnett, | his rival, in the presene of the girl] they both adnired, Miss Lelia Gurns, in Broathitt county, a few milesfrom Daisydell, last night, Greenberry Prather, a companion of Barnett, was also wounded, Miss Gurne is a niece of Burns Fitz- patrick, the man who hung the jury in the trial of White and Jett, charg- ed with the murder of J B Marcum in the famous Breathitt county feud, and this feud was indirectly the cause of the killing last night. It appears that Miss Gurns sent for Hacker, who also was a relative of one of the jurymen, and told him Barnett had been circulating a story tothe effect that Hacker had accused her uncle of being a@ friend of the Hargises and after the trial had brought home with him a Winches- ter rifle. Hacker denied having circulated any such story about her uncle and said he would see Barnett about the matter. He started out to get on his horse just as Barnett and Prath- ercame. He took Barnett asideand asked him about the statements and Barnett said it had been told to him, and called upon a boy named David- son to prove that he had reported the atory as told to him, Hacker became angry and opened the trouble by whipping out his revolver and shooting at Barnett. The firat bullet missed and Barnett escaped into the house, where he pro- cured a Winchester rifle and, running to the door, opened fire on Hacker, who at the same instant shot him through the heart. Hacker received a bullet in his shoulder and, changing his pistol to his other hand, continued to fire. One of the bullets struck Prather, who ran to Barnett when he fell. The ill feeling between the men had been existing since last week. Cut His Throat to Foil Lynchers. Hot Springs, Ark., June 28.—Last night, a mob of over 500 persons surrounded the jail, bent upon lyneh ing Jim Dougherty, the condemned murderer, who, early in the day, dis- emboweled Roger Williams, a fellow prisonerinconfinement, charged wit) complicity in fake foot races, with a razor he had secreted. The mob was rapidly growing de- monstrative and threatening to at tack the jail to secure the double mur derer, when the county sheriff went before them and made an appeal in an effort to dissuade them from their purpose. While the sheriff was pleading witl the people to let the law tuke its course, a female prisoner in the cor- ridorcalled out through the windows that Dougherty had cut his throat. The sherifi quickly investigated, and fonnd that‘the murderer had taken the steel ends of his shoe strings, fl4t tened them out and made a 2 inc} incision on each side of the throat causing death. The mob was allowed to view the remains, and quietly and quickly dispersed. Williams’ remains will be shipped to Louisville to:morrow. Toys For Infants. The most popular old man I know with the babies is one who never gives a toy that costs more than 15 cents. He is always and eternally giving, and years ago learned that expensive toys sre a confusion and a care. They must go on the parlor mantle piece, or be shoved into baby’s papa’s den to be admired by males of mature years who smoke pipes, etc. What the baby wants ir something that appeals to its bump of destructiveness. The rag doll ir the best doll of all, and always th: favorite. The giving of expensive they must not be broken and ite baby’s business to break them. Ii you really love a little buster of 8 boy or a dresden elfin of a girl, give something oe and say: “There! Cut loose!

Mountaineers Ceased Shooting When | They Came in View. Raleigh, XN. C., June 29.—John Rhodes, 2 mountaineer, is in jail as | the result of one of the most pictur. esque duels ever fought in the south. Back of it all is the story of a bitter mountain feud, Quaker Gap mountain, which rears its s-avred crest above the Carolina mountains, was the scene of the drama, There had gathered a dozen with six on each side a pitched battle with guns and revolvers was fought, Two ten had been woundei and Capt. King, one of the leaders, had been killed when a coaching party made up of young men and women drove suddenly into view. Before tney could recover their surprise at the sound of firearms and the sight of the wounded men, a voice called out: ‘Holdin, there, boys; stop shootin’ There's ladies in the way.” Instantly every gun was lowered and heads were bared as the coach swept by with its load of pretty girls. When the coach hud passed the fight was resumed. The sound of the firing attracted the attention of the young women, who stopped and returned to the scene of hostilities. Again the fight was stopped and the partici pants were induced to disperse. The arrest of-Rhodes followed. SOCIETY WOMEN WEAR SOCKS, A Craze For Half Hose in New York Because They’Are Cool. New York, June 28.—‘‘Halt hose for ladies” read large illuminated signsin the windows of several shops in Fifth avenue, and announcing a fad for wearing socks with regular men’s garters which is actually upou New York society. High society and real society, not the stage, where auch fantastic erazos usually have their birth and die, has taken it up Women who would scorn the peek-a boo waist have been seen wearing both socks and the garters that go with them. The shops are full of dainty con- ceits, some fresh from Paris, where the craze originated, and some of na- tive manufa ‘ture, wear the socks say they do it simply to be cool, not because it is a daring and novel fashion. But, whatever its cause, the vision of anapparently sedate goung woman, who, upon iiit- ing her skirts to enter a cab ata muddy erossing, revedls a pair of The women who smbroidered socks and an inch of pink flesh encircled by a white or black garter, is certainly calvulated to excite comment.
