In the history of tills caee there is quite a story. It relates to the former manage­ ment and legal fight which created a new order. For several years J. C. Hoot, of Fulton, later of Elgin, was practically dictator. In 1884 he entered into a contract with T. R. Maltby and O. H. Henderson, agreeing to bind the Woodmen to pay to the said Maltby and Henderson each a bonus from the general fund in addition to the regular compensation or com­ mission for each member they brought in. The bonus was to be equal to one- fifth the entire sum necessary to pay the running expenses of the order. Under these contracts thousands of dollars were paid to Maltby and Henderson, Root was finally deposed and after consider* able litigation he finally withdraw and started the Modern Woodmen of the World. The present board of control has de­ clined to pay Maltby and Henderson money upon the contract madt by Root, it is claimed these contracts were made l®TIt is said that the Chilians are very saucy because they thing the Unite*?

The affair is serious, because, it is believed to be a mere pretex to cany out an agreement with Russia to possess the Balkan states. However, as these war rumors occur regularly every six months and never amount to anything the matter will attract little attention. l8P"What do you think ol the Chili matter?" asked cm Express reporter as he halted Congressman Hopkins on the street. "It looks very much as ii it would lead to a naval war" said he. "I never saw such activity in the naval de­ partment at Washington before." "Do yon consider the Chili people crazy?" "Well you see it is this way. England is staring up this little quarrel for com­ mercial purposes. The Chilean people, the masses of them, have no idea of the greatness and extent of this country. They form their conclusions from the fact they seldom see the American flag in their harbor. They are liable to get an eye-opener this time/ U MT A Southern statesman expresses it as his opinion that public men now are the equal in ability if not in reputation of those In the past. This is no doubt true. The average education of the peo­ ple is higher in America now than it has ever been, and hero worship has declined with the general advancement of the peo­ ple. The newspapers now keep the pub­ lic informed on all public questions, so that the voters at home know as much about the tariff and other legislation as does the statesman at Washington. There is less difference between the great man and his follower to-day, but this is not dne to a degeneration of the states­ man. MT*A meeting of the Illinois Republi­ can State Central Committee will be held in Chicago, January 14, for the purpose of fixing the time and place for holding the next State Convention. The basis of icprngept&tioa In apportioning dele­ gates among the several counties, will also be agreed upon. It is understood that au open meeting or "love feast" will precede the more formal session, and that at least one representative Repub­ lican from each Congressional District will be called upon to voice the senti­ ments of his district regarding these and other questions. All republicans will be welcome at this gathering and if past experience counts for any thing, can rest assured that they will be highly entertained. shrunk jMMhdret ^^^^Hratio MTThe anniversary of the eighty- fourth birthday of John Green leaf Whittier*a poet who has been before the Americau public for sixty-six years, oc­ curred on the seventeenth of this month, like many writers of the olden school he shrank from a celebration of the event d retired to the house of a friend near place of residence to avoid a demon- >n, which undoubtedly would have made by his friends and neighbors.

If he succeeds in compelling the order to pay the 170,000 which heclaims Henderson will sue for a like sum. Mr. Root was the first witness. He said it was very difficult in the early history of the order to get a solicitor, because they could not make the busi< ness pay. He decided to offer special inducements, and with the consent of $1,100 of the §2,200 stolen reco' pleaded guilty and was given s jrears sentence in the penitentiarywe. Mns.

The head of one of.the m -• -• hia h- j / Senator Plumb. Preston B. Plumb, U. S. Senator from Kansas, who died suddenly of apoplexy in Washington Sunday morning, seems to have been a victim to the hard strain of political life which breaks down so many men. Repeatedly warned that he was overtaxing himself, he kept up the race-horse speed, and finally fell on the course, midway in the race. T.ifa in the public service for a man ambitious to serve his constituency and the nation to the best there is in him, calls for greatest exertions. Senator Plumb appears to have known no rest. His brain was al­ ways active, his energies always strained to full tension. The State he represented and the nation, loses much in being de­ prived of such devoted service. Senator Plumb was born in Delaware county, Ohio, October 12, 1837. He re­ ceived a common school education, be­ came a printer by trade, and in 1856 re­ moved to Kansas. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1861, was a mem­ ber of the legislature in 1862, and in the latter part of that year entered the Un­ ion army as lieutenant. , He served throughout the war and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was again in the legislature in 1867-8, and was speaker the last year. He was elect­ ed to the United States Senate in 1876, and has served continuously since. His present term would have expired in 1895. The Kansas legislature is to be elected next fall, and its biennial session is held in January, 1893. The vacancy will be filled by Governor Humphrey, a Republi­ can, so a Republican will be appointed. It would not be surprising if ex-Senator Ingalls was selected. Kansas, having come somewhat to her senses, is not proud of having deposed one of her best and brainiest men, and the substitution of a wild fanatic as a representative of the.State. Senator Plumb, as wilt be seen by his record, was a patriotic, energetic man, one who rose from poverty, with limited educational advantages, by the force of his own will and untiring energy. He was one of the many illustrations of the possibilities given by American institu­ tions, and his untimely death, it may be said, also, an illustration of the too often result of the fever and rush of American life, taxing every vital force to the ut­ most. « A Word to Republican!:'"<3® The hope of the party lies in the expan­ sion of a stalwart Republican press. The Republican who reads or otherwise helps to sppport a Democratic journal to the exclusion of one of his own party newspapers is untrue to the Republican National Republican League. J. S.

New York, Nov. 19£ 1891 ' NfThe plan of the democratic leaders in Congrees to attack the tariff by specific tariff bills has met with discouragement at the outset. It was proposed to put binding twine on the tree list and as it was agreed that this would be for the benefit of the western farmers, it was be­ lieved that no one would dare oppose it, But it turns out that the farmers them­ selves object.

Thcouk-avl waa drawn for the term of ten years. He also made a similar contract with a number of St. Louis men. These contracts were kept on the part of the order until February, 1891, when the new management decided, after paying the large business that fell to them each month from November to February, that the contracts were fraudulent and should be set aside. The question to be decided in this case is whether or not the contracts were legal and binding. More than $1,000,000 and the life of the order is involved. 19" The "Keeley Cure" for drunkenness appears to have gained the confidence of capitalists all over the country. On Sat­ urday, Dec. 19th, the right to adminis­ ter the treatment in every Northern State had been sold by Dr. Keeley. Sev­ eral Southern State rights have also been bought up. The price paid is from $20,000 to f100,000, according to pop­ ulation and wealth of thecommonwealth. Dr. Keeley will furnish his secret drug to these State institutes, and it is expected that tens of thousands will submit to treatment during the coming weeks.
