The troubles nnd difficulties that , have CJ
Utcd for months between the sovereign office !
of the Woodmen of the World and the offlcot
nnd the members of Alpha camp of that B <
crct society arc about to culminate. Th
dissatisfied members of the camp arc abet
to secede and rebel from the parent bed
and within the next few days will ecve
their allegiance from the Woodmen of th
World and will form a ssparate and dlstlnc
fraternal order.
Before the week Is out , or possibly hot unt
the early part of next week , the articles c
incorporation of the new order will be file
with the proper authorities. Among thos
who will bo named as the Incorporators an
the officers of the now body arc the following
George C. Thompson , C. H. Allui , IX It. Dul
fie. W. II. Hanchctt , D. M. Ilaverly , U. \ \
Kelly. Qcoigo S. Cott. J. n. Lucas , II. I
McKclvy , H. M. Waring and George Ostron
The new order will be known as the "Knight
of the Forest. "
The Ilee gave a full account of the trouble
that wcro dividing the ptllcere of the Wood
men of the World and the members of Alph
camp at the time they gained big pioportlon
Eomo mouths ago. The latter had two mail
causes of complaint. One was that Uio rat
of usscfement was too high. The member
of the camp alleged that this -was due to th
fact that they were called upon to help pa ;
for the higher rate of mortality that Is prev
alent ID the southern states. ,
CAUSE OF RDVQLT.
In consequence of this complaint the cam
made a demand upon the Sovereign olllcer
of thn body , the headquarters of which ar
located In the Sheolcy block , that a sjstcu
known as the separate jurisdiction plan b
put Into effect. Ily this the territory li
which the order does business was to b
divided up Into separate jurisdictions. In cue
of which the rate of mortality was to b
about the same. Bach of the separate Juris
dictions was to Issue and collect Us owi
assessments , and In fact transact all of It
own business from Its own headquarters am
by Its own officers * . In effect each Jurlsdlc
tlon would bo practically a Hcparato order
although they would all bo bound together li
eomo ways.
The effect of this plan would be to greatl ;
decrease the business transacted by the sov
orolgn headquarters. In consequence Sovereign
eign Commander J. C. Root opposed tin
plan. As a substitute ho offered -what In
termed the department plan. This also pro
vldcd for the separation of the members lnt <
separate jurisdictions , but It provided furthe :
that while the members In each jurlsdlctloi
should be assessed according to the death !
that had occurred In It without regard t <
the rate of mortality that occurred In tin
other jurisdictions , the entire business shouli
bo transacted through the sovereign head
quarter ! ' . Hooks of the jurisdictions were
to bo kept separately there.
Alpha camp members , while they made j
vigorous fight for the separate jurlsdlctlor
camp In tlm meeting at Lincoln that clcctei
the delegates to the sovereign camp meetIng -
Ing , expressed themselves as willing to ac
cept the department plan when they wer <
defeated thcro. Thn matter came up In th (
sovereign camp meeting last March at St ,
Louis. There no action whatever was taken ,
As before , , the members "In all parts of the
territory covered arc assessed the same.
In view of the failure to adopt cither ol
the plans , the members of .Alpha camp have
continued dissatisfied. They maintain that
If they wcro not compelled to pay for the
deaths that occur In the southern stntra the
ojnount of their assessments would be greatly
lessened. Their entire aim and object is to
separate the northern and southern states.
'
OPPOSED TO COMMANDRH HOOT.
There Is still another cause for dissatis
faction and thlH has also lasted for a long
time. The members of the camp have main
tained that the order has been run too much
by ono man Sovereign Commander Iloot.
They say further that according to the con
stitution Hoot has a life tenure on the office
nnd that consequently the order Is not the
representative body It should be. They say
that Instead of lessening the one-man powe ;
given by the constitution the recent sovereign
camp even Increased It.
These were the two main things that
divided the sovereign officers and the camp.
Some months ago they resulted In a war
fare that was carried on largely by circulars
containing mutual accusations. They
threatened a split , but It was postponed
until after the sovereign ramp meeting ,
Slnco this meeting failed to remedy the
objections which the Alpha camp members
raised , the dissatisfaction continued until
It has resulted in the new order that Is to
Ifo fonrfcd by the men who have been prom
inent la the fight against the sovereign
officcrp. ,
, - "Wo do not want to wreck the Woodmen
of the World , " said George Thompson yes
terday , the man who haa" been particularly
piomlnent In the flght , ' { hut wo want an
order hi which we do not * have to pay for
the high death rate In the south. That Is
why wo are .starting the Knights of the
I'orcst. "
Thu now body will liavo as Its territory
only the northern statffl , none of the south
er" statH ! bulng admitted. H will IFSUO
certificates of Insurance ranging from ? 500
to $3,000. One-half of this amount will bo
paid when the members reach the ago of
70'years. Total disability benefits are also
to bo given. The number of assessments lo
limited to twenty a year.

turned this down. The fund will bp made
tip of 0 per cent of the amount received
fiom each of the asbessments.
The backeiH of the now order allege that
the/ will secure as members many who are
now enrolled In the Woodmen of the World
In this city , as they say that they started
the movement only after they had received
promise of good support. The members of
some of the out-of-town camps are expected
also to Join n the plan. The officers say
however , that they are uot yet In a position
to glvo any figures ,

If the new X rays were used to photograph

or tobacco. Coffee has the some poisonous
alkaloids as strychnine , morphine , tobacco
nnd whisky , and Its dally use , even In small
Quantities. Is the direct cause of that weak

stomach , heart , liver and bowels. Tonics

to throw over the habit that causes the

ten days use of I'ostum Cereal Coffee will
produce so radical a change Inwards health
and strength , that the facts become plain
to any one. Don't believe It , but try It and

Governor Lee's first Arbor day proclatna
tlon , setting Apart Monday , May 3 , as a da
for tree planting In South Dakota , contain
some reflections that may well be conslcl
ercd by the Kcbraskans who put In a fc <
hours yesterday planting trees on the tertil
prairies of the Antelope state. Qoverno
Leo writes :
In compliance with n , prevailing ctiston
which has endeared Itself to the peopl
from sentiment nnd utility , 1 hereby nj
point Monday , the 3d day of May , A. D
1897 , nn Arbor day.
The faithful observance of this day shoul
become u Ilxed habit among the people ; nt. .
a mere custom to bo followed In a hall
hearted way or forgotten entirely. No west
ern state has greater need of cultlvatln
forestry than South Dakota , and whlla nn
litre seems lo have been ungenerous to he
with trees and shrubs she lina given us
soil most fertile nnd a cllmato most prr
clous when seasons are normal , for th
cultivation of forest trees.
During recent yean ) continued < lr
weather has killed out most of the grove
previously planted In a largo area In Hi
Hlnlc , but this unfavorable condition seem
lo have permanently retired. The grotin
Is now full of moisture. A change In th
scasotiH promising lo be of long and blcsst-
duration seems to have taken place. N
season In years 1ms therefore been mor
propitious for tree planting than the prcscii
spring ; Thu misfortune of long continue
drouth has , however , been a blessing 1
disguise , for It has served to tench obsen
Ing lovers of forestry n most valuable lef
son , determining for the future the Iree
nnd plants most hardy nnd best adapted t
our climate and least liable to the blightln
influences of dry weather. Moreover th
experience of the p.ist has shown that n
HlilftU'Hs tree planting and nothing mibsc
qucntly but continued , careful cultlvntlor
will avail the object sought In the obstrv
ance of the day.
Wo owe an obligation to every growln
thing of beauty or usefulness which w
plant. To plant a shrub or tree nnd Ihei
fall to culllvalo and care for It till It sc
cures matured strength la like brlngln
children Into the world nnd then cnstltii
them adrift to evil Influences.
Nothing Is more pitiful In nature than i
frail tree strangled for want of prope
nourishment and care. Nothing H grnndc
In nature than a stalwart tree which lialllc
the vlvmcntH , standing ns a sentinel am
affording beneficent protection to mankind
In America we have failed to place th
proper value upon our forests. They hav
been regarded merely from a monctar
stnndiKilnt. They have been ruthlessl :
slaughtered for gain and wasted In th
prodigality of our commercial pursuits. Uu
the forests have a double commercial value
chief of which Is to preserve , for th
beauty , comfort nnd protccllon which the'
afford adds very greatly to the value o
property upon which they are fortunate1 !
found.
The tlmo is coming when our naturn
forests must be preserved with the sami
care which Is shown In Europe , when
beautiful forests are protected and caret
for as consclenllously ns the America !
housewife watches over and cares for he :
potted plants.
Concluding these reflections , I express tin
hope that Arbor day may be consecratci
to the gtcat and everlasting good of th <
slule , and that It may be religiously ob
served In Its true spirit.

The general conference of the supcrlnten
cnts of the Baptist missions of tl
west was In session yesterday i
the Young Men's Christian aruocl
tlon building , the Initial meeting belt
held Wednesday night. Many prominent ml
Blonary workers from western states and tc
rltorlcs were present , Including Dr. Wlllla
HagUe of Chicago , general superintendent
all the missions of the west ; Dr. T. J
Shanafclt , general secretary for Soul
Dakota ; Dr. W. L. Van Horn , general seer
tary for North Dakota ; Rev. L. Ji Dyk
general secretary for Oklahoma ; Hev. I ) . V

Hev. 0. A. Williams , superintendent of ml
slons for Minnesota ; Hev. 0. P. Wright , gei

orado ; Dr. N. I ) . Halrdon , superintendent '
missions for Nebraska ; Hev. M. P. Barllct
general secretory for Iowa ; Hev. 13. U. Men
dlth , general secretary for Kansas , and 15. I
Pope , general missionary for Minnesota ,
At the session yesterday afternoon D
Shanafelt of South Dakota prcoldcd. Tl
greater part of the forenoon was given up t
the dlscutalon of the question of district ml :
slonary work , Hev. A. W. Clark speaking <
the progress made In Nebraska. The dl
cusslon brought out the fact that Nobrasli
has for several years developed a system I
which the purely evangelical work Is sci
arated from the missionary work. By th
sjstem men peculiarly adapted to the wor
of building up discouraged churches , raisin
money to clear off Indebtedness , build no
church edifices , procuring funds to suppl
pastors , etc. , have been employed as dlstrli
missionaries , while the evangelical work hn
been performed by men more adapted t
that department. As a result , many wea
churches have been placed on their fee
while the evangelists have been enabled t
pursue their work without entering Into th
details of the financial department.
Dr. Hague , superintendent of all the mis
slona of the west , admitted that the syster
had apparently worked well In Nebraska , bn
thought Nebraska was an exception. H
thought the system adopted by other wester
elates would produce the same results with
out the expenditure of so much energy
Other states , he said , combined the rale
slonary and evangelical work In ono Ind !
vldual. Nebraska had each branch of th
work performed by separate Individuals. H
thought the Nebraska system would be foun
Inexpedient In the long run , although h
warmly commended the workers now in th
field.
HOME FOH THE DEPENDENT.
The conference then took up the subjcc
of organizing a society for the care of de
pendent missionaries. A year ago , nt th
conference held in Omaha , the prellmlnar ;
steps were taken toward the establlshmen
of a homo for the care of the aged , inflrn
and dependent Baptist preachers and the !
widows and orphans. A committee was ap
pointed to formulate a plan. Dr. Shanafelt
aa chairman of that committee , prcscntei
articles of Incorporation this forenoon , Thi
proposed home Is to be located on paper enl ;
for the present , Sioux City being designate !
as its temporary abiding place. The Instltu
tlon Is to be known as the Western Baptist
Missionary homo for the benefit of aged
Infirm and dependent .ministers In the states
of Iowa , Nebraska , Minnesota , North am
South Dakota , Kansae , Colorado , Oklahonu
and Ipdlan Territory. It Is to be governec
by a board of trustees tb bo made up of twc
representatives from each of the states
named. It Is not proposed to commence
work on the homo right away , the main pur
pose of the present organization being tc
furnish a legally organized body to care foi
donations of money and property already
made for the purpose of establishing such
in Institution. The articles were adopted.

Is said to be at the head of the movcmei

Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners 01
said to he also In the scheme.
The grounds upon which the legality of tl
charter may bo contested are not spcclflcal
elated. Thcro was some talk of making ;
flght on the allegation that the charter \\i
never legally passed. The prospective coi
tcstants ns&ert that n number of the eenatoi
who were recorded as voting for the hi
were absent when tlic roll was called , nti
that their \otcs wcro Illegally recorded I
favor of the bill. The effect of the bill I
ousting officials before their terms had c :

constitutionality will be based.

Eomo particulars , but that does not make I

something tangible to work on and n met
allegation of Illegality would scarcely hoi
walcr.

duties during that period. They content
that thla Is n legal contract which the clt
will bo hound to fulfill. There Is a dlftcrcnc
of opinion among attorneys on the latte

OMAHA , April 22. To the Editor of The
Bee : In your Issue for this morning , a
reverend gentleman finds fault with my lec
ture on the Invalidity ot Anglican orders.
Ho says the qiicatloin "is too large a one
to attempt to Kettle it off hand , cither In a
sermon or In a newspaper discussion , " and
ho adds : "I do not propose to enter upon
the task. " I admire Ills prudence. After
thus skillfully evading the main Issue , he
tikes up a number of side Issues , such as
the leakage from the Catholic church to the
Church ot England by mixed marriages.
Side Issues would bo endless , HO I will iml-
lale hlfl prudence and Ignore these till he has
refuted my ir.alu contention.
Still , since the gentleman , nevertheless ,
makes an attack on my disciicalon of thu
main Issue by quoting agalnbt mo Fr.
Brandl , S. J. , to the effect that In 1CS1-85
"for the first tlmo the question of Anglican
ordliutlons was subjected to tlie authorita
tive Judgment of the sacred congregation ot
the holy olllco , " I am forced lo defend my
self. I canr.ot do so without exposing Hie
unfairhcfs of the quotation. Fr. Brandl in
the article referred to ( American Ecclesias
tical Review for January last ) , and In Hit-
continuation of the hanio for February and
March , reiterates over and over again that
; ho orders were condemned by the pope of
: lome 1HO years sooner , In 1654 , saying for
nstanco ( p. 42)"We ) mtibt conclude that
ho ordinations conferred upon them accord-
ng to the Anglican ordinal wore held to
jo In 1553-CI by thu pontiff ( Julius III ) , what
hey are considered to be In 1898 by Lee
CHI , that Is absolutely null and utterly
'old. " What had been thus condemned by
'opo Jullun III himself In 1G54 , and a year
atcr by Pope Paul IV , ( and this U < my main
'ontcntlon ' , or. which Fr. 11 ran ill Is quoted
igalnst me ) , was over a century later , In
C8i ! , as Fr. Brandl writes , made the basis
if a decision against the validity of Anglican
irders by the sacred congregation of the
loly office , when a case In point was for the
Irst tlmo cubjccted to Us decision.
Skill In argument Is admirable In. Us
ilace , but when.ftho salvation of souls Is a
take , fidelity Untruth Is doubly precious.
