there is plenty of money ready to put
into them.
Milton's growth has not been
marked by unnecessary boasting ot

steady njid substantial and before
the older residents were awure of It
they were living In a modern city of
electric lights, a gravity water sys
tem, graded streets, concreto side
walks, electric street cars, and Im
posing dwelling houses.
Everything has grown but the bus
iness portion of the town and now that
will be remedied by the enterprising
citizens and Main street will be a seu

One of the counts in the Indictment

laicy affair; and particularly attrac

Head CoiniiI Talbot Recommend Es
tablishment of Tuberculosis Sani
tarium. Peoria, 111., June 16. An unequivo
cal stand for a readjustment of rates
is taken by Head Clerk C. W. Hawes
of the Modern Woodmen of America,
in his report presented at the fifteenth
head camp session of the order con
vened here at 9 o'clock this morning.
Ten possible plans are suggested, and
it is expected that before the head
camp adjourns next Saturday, ar
rangements will be made to hold an
other session within the year, to be
devoted exclusively to the rate ques
tion.
The session was called to order this
morning by Head Consul A. R. Tal
bot, the president of the society.
There are 634 delegates and head of
ficers, representing all parts of the
country, sitting in the convention On
Thursday a big parade will be held,
which Is expected to attract 50,000
visitors. The national encampment
of the degree teams Is also in session
here, with 5000 Foresters in attend
ance. According to the report of Heao.
Clerk Hawes, submitted today, the
present membership Is 920,179, with
12,099 local lodges. The Insurance in
force aggregates $1,430,688,000. Ben
efit fund receipts during the past
term, 1305-1907, were $24,786,885.53,
and disbursements $21,798,367.38.
(eneral fund receipts were $2,908,
509.02, and disbursements, $2,765,
019.93. ,
The report shows that during the
society's existence its deaths have to
taled 36.406, the death rate at all
ages being 5.02 per 1000. This Is
very favorable, as the National Fra
ternal Congress table shows a death
rate of 7.51 and the American Ex
perience table a rate of 10.24 per 1,.
000.
At the society's present rates, with
12 assessments per year, the mem
bers at all age are paying for an
average of only $390 of each $1000 In
force. It Is this condition of affairs
that calls for a rate readjustment.
