ADVOCATES STEP RATE ASSESSMENTS Jass Meoting of Omaka Nelghbors JAsten to Order's Chief Tell Them His Conclusions on Ine surance. Head Comsul W. A. Northeott of the Modern Woodmen of America has made & pligrimage to Omahs =nd in a epeech at the Creighton-Orpheum Thursday chopped & few chips out of the present plan of as- sessment of that order and blazed the way for a change. In addition to the address of the bead consul. members of the local camps ren- dered a musical and literary program which was not only enjoysble but was credit- sble. Those who took part in this were Willlam Dodson, Jay Northrup, & quartet composed of G. R. Sutherland, J. B. Smith, T. L. Broadhurst and E. G. Rozzle; George A. Magney and Nelson C. Pratt who acted 88 master of ceremonies. Mr. Magney welcomed the head consul In an eulogistic talk of the work he had done for the order and be 4id not fall to throw & few boguets at what the order has done for itself in the west. Mr. Northeott was imtroduced by Nelson C. Pratt and during the course of his re- marks took occasion to say that Omaha is the second largest cemter for Modern Woodmen in the world and that in Nebraska fewer members have' died In proportion to membership than in afy other state. Theory of Head © L After speaking of the wopderful growth of the order, especially during the last five years, Mr. Northcott launched into a dts- tussion as 1o why the present pisn of as- sessment ehould be changed. “After twelve years of experience with sur soclety,” he sald, “I bave come to the conclusion that our plan is not sufficient snd that it will bring us trouble in a very few years, and I believe that some remed: must be adopted to preserve this order. Continuing Mr. Northcott stated that at the present time the younger members of the order were paying more than the actual tost of their insurance and the older mem- bers less than the actusl cost, “Up to the present,” he said, “our deficlency has been paid by the younger members, and it ba 8ot been a burden to them. But our cost is bound to incresse, and then the cost to !be young man will beome a burden. He will become dissatisfied at the increased sssessment. and Will seek some younger voclety. It will not’be possible to secure tbough young members to meet the de- Bclencies they accrue with the increased age of our members.” From tables prepared by the committee Mr. Northcott showed what each member or the order pald for his insurance and what the order lost or gained by the difference tn the actual cost of the insurance. He tooke of the several lodges that had been tompelied to change thelr plan of as went from those similar to the plan of the Woodmen. He advocated the establishment of & reserve fund and the assessment of & member according to his age, the age de- ®ermining the risk. The members were arged to give the subject deep thought and be prepared to instruct their delegates to the next head camp, at which time it will be attempted to change the plan of assess- ment.

Catholics, Episcopaliane, snd Baptists turned out in the rain to bemor a Roman Catholic bishop. From the standpoint of diversity of the religious beliefs represented, it was a remarkable assemblage that touched elbows &t the Omaba club lsst bight, and Right Rev John Lancaster Spalding, D. D., bishop of Peoria. Ill. to whom the complimentary dinner was given, was moved to his most lofty flights of eloquence in praise of the growing spirit of tolerance that had made possible such & gathering. It was said that in all. seven demominations were repre- sented. The laity and the clergy, the business and the professional man were there, and throughout all the addresses rang clear the notes of patriotism, charity, spirituality and love of fellow man. Those who responded to toasts were Bishoo Scaunell. “His Worth s Warrant for His Welcome:" Bishop Spalding. “My Country, ‘tis of Thee;" Hon. Charles F. Manderson, “Not What We Gain, but What We Do;" Hon. Mel Uhl, “There's a Chiel Amang Ye Takin' Notes, and Faith He'll Prent ‘em:” T. J. Mahoney, “But Faith Ordains that Dearest Friends Must Part’ Informal addresses were also made by Dr. George L. Miller and Rev. T. J. Mackay. John Rush acted as toastmaster. Bishop Scannell was the first speaker. His remarks were very brief, being confined for the most part to extolling the guest of honor, Bishop Spalding, to whom he paid a glowing tribute. “He is & man of well defined ideas,” said be, “of firm convictions and he has the courage to proclaim them Tberefore let his worth tonight be a war- rant to the welcome we extend him." In introducing Bishop Epalding, the toast- master said in part: “We do not extend him this spontaneous burst of welcome because he is celebrated among church- men, but because his works for good, for the elevation of morals, christian citizen- sbip and right living are manifest wher- ever his great influence is felt.” Presbyterians True Americanism in West. The keynote of the bishop's address was patriotism, as hinted by the toast to which bhe bad been assigned, and he spoke with ecial reference to the great central west. The typical America, the real America, shall grow up, not on the Atlantic seaboard,” be sald. “but here in the heart of our country—far enough away from Europe, far enough away from Asia, thank God! with its effete and stationary populstions— where it can get the pure air of freedom to inspire the highest aims of American mwanhood. America is the garden of the world. Our great corn belt feeds the world —feeds it with pork, with beef or what- ever it may need. But is there an American who says he loves his country because it produces more acres of corn then any other, because ite herds are countless and its wheatfields boundless? No; that is not the ideal. That is not the life germ that was nlanted by our fathers. Our ideal is a spiritual ope. It must have been a spirit- ual one or we could not have sttained our present material supremacy. Matter is but the symbol of things. Man s man by virtoe of his soul, and his power to think and act disinterestedly. “He who has exceptional endowments, whether intellectual, moral or spiritual, unless be would warp into » nonentity of selfishness, unless he would shrivel into a cipher in the great sum of humanity, must give himself to others. (Applause.) “So far as I am concerned, I have mno eyes for foreign conquest. We are mot bere to perpetuate the might of material things. The great man is not the wa rior, not the millionaire—the great man is be who has the deepest ineight, the broad- est eympathies, and the clearest comcep- tions of truth and virtue. The nations who have produced a lasting impress upon the world have not done 8o by their wealth or by their powers of conquest, but by their spiritual prowess—truth, justice, hope, love, faith. I would dedicate America to these grest principles.” World More Tolerant. “The World Moves” was the refrain of General Manderson's address. “I see evi- dence of it,” said he, “in the growth of tolerance. There is less animosity between exponents of different political beliefs, and & spirit of Christian charity for those of different religious faiths. Why, we all rgmember when a gathering like this, given in honor of & Catholic prelate, would be criticised, yet now it is taken as & matter of course. “l see Taft bas presented the literary works of President Roosevelt to the pope, and I can say that if there is anything calculated to rejuvenate that illustrious gentleman it is the works of Theodore Roosevelt. I can see him now, inspired by their fresh, invigorating atmosphere, and 1 can see him coming over here with his rifie, and going up into the Rockies to shoot mountain lions in emulation of Theo- dore Roosevelt. This i one of the evi- dences of tolerance. “I can remember of reading when I was & boy in that part of the Epiecopal confes- slon of faith where it referred to the pope as ‘apti-Christ,’ and a&s & ‘son of per- dition,’ but the Episcopal church has can- celled these terms of odium. It makes lit- tle aifference whether I worship at one church and you st another so long as we remain true to the principles which lie at the basis of the Christian faith.” Mel Ukl road a brief paper entitled, “The Moral Influence of the Newspaper.” T. J. Mahoney referred feelingly to several epi- sodes in the life of Bishop Spalding. Dr. George L. Miller spoke of the early days of Omaba, extolling the efforts of the Cath- olic missionaries, and referring to Count Creighton's. bemefactions. The program closed with an informal speech by Rev. Bt Rev. Richard Scamnall. Joka Rush. » William Bushem. Oount Jobs A Creighton, Bryast. wu;n- Sull, following geptlemen, being unavoid- ably sbsest, sent written regrets: Judge Wakeley, Rev.

KANSAS CITY, June 6.—According te Henry Crawford of this city, one of the brothers connectad with the big Humbert Crawford sensation in Paris, France, the swindle wherein several million dollars were secured from Paris bankers on the strength of & supposed $20,000,000 estate left by R. H. Crawford, the whole story was founded on a fraud. He says there was never an R H. Crawford in the family; no mem- ber of the family ever died possessed of & $20,000,000 estate, and there was never any contest over any estate in the Crawford family. Henry Crawford is an ex-city auditor of this city and has been for years prominent in Jocal political circies. He bas lived here since 1888 His brother, Matthew Crawford of Louisville, was formerly a resident of this city, where he was president of the Aetna National bank. “Whoever ie responeible for the swindle,” #aid Crawford tonight, “evidently kmows the details of the Crawford family, but the fundamental facts regarding the evindle show that it is based on & fraud pure and simple. There can be no comnection be- tween our family and the parties to the swindle. In the first place, we never had a Robert Crawford in our family. Robert is not & family name. The dispatches say thet the uncle who died was named Robert and that thers were four nephews, of whom & Robert was dead. These statements are ene tirely wrong. There were only three brothe ers of us and two of us Dever have beem abroad.” GEORGIA NAMES A TICKET Democrats Head State Nominations with J. M. Terrell for Governor.

TOPEKA, Jume 6—The high water in Kansas rivers continues. The Arkansas river is yet very high, and much damage to property has resulted. It is thought, bowever, that the stream has reached its highest point and that a fall may be ex- pected within the next few hours. The Cottonwood and Neosho rivers in Lyon county are far sbove the high water mark. The water has overfiowed the banks to such a2 extent as %o ruin many acres of corn 224 drown much small stock on the farme. A washout on the Santa Fe near Em- poria this afternoon tied up all the trains on the main line. On the Argentime-Em- poria cut-off no trains at all can be run. GUTHRIE, Okl, June 6.—Four inches of rain in western Oklahoms last night has again swollen the streams beyond the dan- ger line. The North Canadian is doing great damage all along the route.

LINCOLN PURCHASE A SHREWD MOVE | Control of Feeding Yards There May Operate to Divert Much to the South Omaha Packers. Will Tage is back from an extended ‘western trip. He says that cattle are put- ting on fat rapidly and that the ranges are in better condition than three years past. From the condition of cattle on the | ranges stockmen are confident that grass stufl will be sent to this market fully & month earlier than usual The unusual number of young stuff sent up from Texas bas restocked the ran but the cattle to come now will be m tured stock held back last summer on mc- count of the rapid variation in prices. “By securing the Lincoln feed yards,™ said a well known stock dealer last night, “the Union Btock Yards company has made a great stride toward securing bus- iness for this market. By having a rep- resentative at Lincoln all of the time it | is thought here that Mr. Kenyon's in- vestment Will soon pay for iteelf. Ship- ments of stock will doubtiess be diverted from other points to thie market and that is what the packers and the com- mission men here want. the yards can handle all of the stuff com- ing in and there is a constant demand for more. Good prices are paid here with the shutting off of the shipments to markets on the south it is predicted that top notch prices will prevall all the time.” Calling for Bids. The chairman of the Dulldings and grounds committee of the Board of Edu cation je advertising for bids for the lots owned by the school district at Twenty- seventh and M streets. Several times in years past an effort has been made to sell this property and in fact the board has been offered cash. Now there seems to be a change and the board wants to sell The price the board has held these lots for has alwis® been considered too high by those who talked of purchasing. Now that the board wants the money to use for bullding purposes in the eastern part of the city a sale may be made. When the first tender was made it was for a long time Jease with the understanding that & Jumber yard would use the ground. Then the Union Pacific wanted the triangle and the property now advertised. but the board decided for some remson to post- pobe the sale and the rafiroad made other arrangements. General Satisfaction Expressed. The eettlement of the strike in Chicago in conpection with the teamsters and packing bouses appeared to give general satistaction to the people here. It had been rumored that unless & settlement was made soon the trouble might epread to other packing centers. While the workingmen bere, and especially the teamsters, are, according to statements, well paid, a demand from the Chicago emd of the union would have resulted in the men here declining to work. The notice that there is an end to the trouble seems to satisfy business men, the packers and the laboring men as well. Fight Davis Claim. Rumor has it that L. A. Davis wants some more money for drawing the plans for the proposed High school bullding. He has paid $1,900 already, but the agree- ment was to pay him &'certain percentage on the cost. The bullding has never been erected, and yet Davis, eo it is reported, wants more money. He alleges that there is still $1,000 due him for the plans. As the plans were accepted the board will doubtless have to settle, but there ie going to be & strong protest from tax- payers. Examining Board. President Miller of the Board of Educa- tion said to a Bee reporter yesterday that Messrs. Pancoast and Fleharty had with- drawn their resignations as members of the board. He stated that when these members of the board learned that there was some opposition to their appointment they ten- dered their resignations. The opposition bas it was stated been removed and the mem- bers will remain. The examinations will commence on June 18. ©0dd Fellows Memorial Day. The two Jodges of Odd Fellows will obd- serve their annual memorial day on Sunday, June 8. Members of the lodges are request- ed to meet at the hall on Twenty-fourth and M streets at § o'clock and proceed to Laurel Hill cemetery where the yraves of seven former members of the order will be properly decorsted. After the decoration ©f the graves services will be held at the ball, Local Packers Interested. Managers of the packing houses here are considerably interested in the settlement of a question of rates, especially as per- tains to the hauling of refrigerator cars. The cars are owned by private corporations and the roads have been doing the bauling &t & certain rate, mow it is proposed to make & change in the rate and this will, if the agreement is made, add money to the tremsury of the rallroads and at the same time cut off a portion of the revenue of the concerns owning refrigerator cars. As & rule sbout ninety cars of meat leave Bouth Omaha every day. A car costs about $1,000, lasts ten years and under the mile- age system would pay its owners back orig- inal cost and interest in four years. Ordination Service. At 11 o'clock on Bunday ordination ser- vices will be beld at Bt. Martin's Episcopal church, Twenty-fourth and J streets. One candidate will be admitted to the order of deacons and two will be advanced to the priesthood. Arrangements have been made for additional sesting capacity at the cburch on this occasion.

Serio WILKESBARRE, Pa. June 6.—The spirit of unrest which has been manife more or less in this city and vicint ing the last few days over the miners’ strike broke out in earnest In two places in this city last night. A boy was dangerously 1f not fataily shot by a guard at the Stan- ton colliery and a considerable portion of tha fence around the Murrsy colllery was | destroyed by fire. There has been consid- erable trouble around the Stantom colliery, which is operated by the Lehigh & Wiles- | barre Railroad company, controlled by the Central Rallroad of New Jersey. The col- lery is located in the southern part of the elty. Several nights ago a portion of the fence | surrounding the place was burned and also & small bullding on the culm bask. Since then other attempts were made to fire the fence. The guards since then close watch. Last night while Cann, agd 13, was walking along the fleld outside the fence it is said a guard on the inside fired a revolver or rifie at him. The buliet etruck the boy in the back The shot was heard by the people in the vicinity and it looked for a time as though there would be serious trouble. The boy was quickly removed to the Mercy hospital and the police notified. Crowd is Dangerous. The chief of the Wilkesbarre police, with a squad of men, went to the colliery to ar- rest the guard, and after some trouble the chief and his men gained an entrance. They got their man, but the crowd on the outside was 80 large and so threatening that the police did mot dare take him from the place. At a late hour the crowd wae still hanging around the colliery. Shortly afier the shooting the crowd sought vengence on the company's prop- erty and some set fire to & trestlework. The fire department with conmsiderable difficulty put out blaze.
