Cringe of Headquarters Recommended to
Woodmen of the World.
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL TO ACT IN MATTER
Board of Managers that
4saaaa Bnlldln Be "old and Head,
eaartera Moved to t. Loo la
Kaaaaa City.
There wii something of a actuation when
th report of the board of manager to
the executive council of the Woodmen of
the World was aubmltted yesterday after
Boon, and while there wss little discussion
the recommendation being referred with
out debate to the committee on resolu
tion of the oouncll, there will be debate
loud and interne when the committee
make lu report.
The recommendation of the board of
managers covered many phase of the
work, but the moat Interesting waa the
recommendation that the building now
owned by the order In Omaha be sold a
oon as possible and the board be empow
ered to remove the headquarters of the
order to Kanaaa City or fit. Louie.
The Woodmen of the World ha a pe
culiar form of government. The sovereign
camp meets once in two years and In
alternate years the executive council meets.
Once in two months the sovereign com
mander calls to headquarters three mem
bers of tho board of managers, which has
advlro, powers. The present executive
council is composed of Sovereign Com
mander J. C. Root, Sovereign Clerk John
T. Yates, Sovereign Advisor P. A. Falken
burg of Denver; Sovereign Banker Morris
Eheppard of Texas; Sovereign Sentluel B.
W. Jewell of Iowa; Sovereign W. T. Slmrall
of Mlsdsstppi, and Sovereign Watchman
D. E. Bradebaw of Arkansas. The board of
managers Is composed of A. C. Fine of
Virginia, W. A. Fraser of Texas, H. H.
Scott of Pennsylvania, J. E. Fitzgerald of
Missouri, N. B. Maxey of the Indian Terri
tory, C. K. Irwin of Wisconsin, and C. C.
Farmer of Illinois.
Three Managers Art.
At the meeting of the board of managers
which adopted the resolution calling for
the sale of the Omaha property there were
present members Fine, Fraser and Scott,
and they all voted in favor Of the plan,
giving as their reason that while the order
apends thousands of dollars annually In
the city the people do not teclprocate, and
s proof of their claim they said that many
of the towns of the country much smaller
than Omaha had more members in the
order and that the aociety waa given more
attention by press and public. The recom
mendation of the board will not become
effective unless adopted by the executive
council and opinion In that body Is divided.
The sovereign commander and the sover
eign clerk, with some of the other mem
bers of the council, are in favor of holding
the building as an asset of the emergency
fund and placing its returns in that fund.
Borne of these desire to erect a lodge
bulldlna lu this city, while some are In
favor of adopting the report of the board
of managers. As the members of the
tvoard of managers are also members of the
executive council there will not be wanting
support for the recommendation.
The council yesterday afternoon sepa
rated Mississippi from. Jurisdiction F and
placed it in a separate Jurisdiction to be
known as Jurisdiction M. This was done as
the stats ha now 10,000 members, which
entitles it to be a separate Jurisdiction.
The change is simply political and has no
bearing upon the beneficiary fund. j
DIETZ TALKS OF sfT PIERRE
Omabaa Gives Ills Observations at
the Island of Mar.
tlnlo.ae.
C. N. Diets, who has made several visits
to the Island of Martinique, made some In
teresting statements regarding the condi
tions existing there with reference not only
to the topography of the country, but also
to the people.
"It must be remembered," eatd Mr. Diets,
that there is a vast difference between a
eountry In which French Influence predom
inates and ons In which Spanish customs
and traditions prevail. I have read state
ments made by a New York paper reflect
ing in serious terms upon the people of
Martinique. My observations do not egrc
with criticisms of that character. Of
course the people of tropical and semi
tropical countries differ in many respects
from thoss with which our people are gen
erally familiar, but, making reasonable al
lowances, the people of Martinique attract
one's attention because of their cleanliness,
tbelr Industry, their neatness of habit, their
Urbanity and the exceeding novelty of the
environment which Impart color and char
acter to their activities. St. Pierre is I
must correct myself by saying, with feel
ings of melancholy, was a beautiful city
Ituated a few miles from what ha proven
to be the terrible mount Pelee. A moun
tain stream ran through the town, the
water clear a crystal. Mount Pelee la
about 4,600 feet high and the configuration
f the slope toward Trinity bay, on which
ft. Pierre Is located, formed a natural
course for the flow of leva. The flow of
lava could not have taken any other course
than over 8L Flerre and. Judging from re
ports. It is not surprising that utter deso
lation exists where nature manifested her
self In her moat attractive forms.
"Of course. It Is well known," continued
Mr. Diets, "that tb chain of islands form
ing tbs eastern limits or the Caribbean are
really the tops of mountain peaks, all of

"During previous years too little atten
tion was paid to the sanitary condition of
street and alley and even the back yard
of residence. It 1 urprlslng. even now,
sfter all the trouble we have had with
contagious diseases, bow many families
have to be reminded by the health depart
ment before they will put their yard in a
healthful condition. But there 1 a de
cided improvement In the etreets and al
leys, and the refuse which at one time
found its way to both of these Is now
dumped st some more suitable spot.
"Measles, whooping cough, diphtheria and
scarlet fever are the only diseases which
are occupying our attention, at present,
and while there la considerable of each In
the city I do not believe It Is any more
than we tan reasonably expect. However,
the same precautions are being observed
with these as was done with the smallpox,
end after a limited run the city will prob
ably be free from all."

Have we done our duty In Cubs? Has

three years shown the change from Span

the questions of fact which they involve,
muBt be of deep interest to every Intelli
gent watcher of the new century's histor

view on thl subject. It Is a timely book
as the official transfer of the Cuban gov
ernment to the Cubans by the United
States Is to be made about May 20. The
bcok Is the outcome of Mr. Bang's observa

the summer season, when vegetables and

favor. Many persona would be glad to
escape a flesh diet If provided with ade
quate substitutes. To supply these Is the
aim of this book, which gives practical,
reliable Information in concise form,
avoiding superfluous matter and "fadlsm,"
and supplying only such recipes as are
not so elaborate as to require the skill of
a French chef for their interpretation.
Many hygienic hints are included the pur

best entitle him to the admiring memorv
of the American people.
"The Meditations of An Autograph Col
lector" is f. new and original book by
Adrian H.'Jollne. Autograph fiends, doubt
lees, would thoroughly enjoy the author's
account of his finds, his losse. his pleas
ures and disappointments; but the general
reader finds the book a treasure bouse of
Information and anecdote, while the nu
merous facsimile and other letters given
are rarely good reading. There are letters
from Queen Victoria In ber youth
to Lord Melbourne, letters from Rus
kin, Louts Napolian, Kipling, Robert
Burns, Martin Van Buren, Wlnfleld Scott,
Stephen Crane snd others. That the au
thor Is a thorough autograph lover may be
Judged from his preface, which), reads: "It
is a pleasant thing to sit here," he says,
"this rainy afternoon, with the books and
the 'collection' close at hand. I have cer
tainly been arranging that collection for
ten years, and It Is not arranged yet
It Is an amiable folly." Published by Har

American Wild Flowers." It is compiled
by F. Schuyler Mathews. It contains short
descriptions of tbelr character and habits,
a concise definition of their colons and In
cidental references to the insects which
assist in their fertilization. It Is a timely
book, probably more so now than ever, be
cause of the popularity the wild flower is
gaining. The author says: "This is a field
book of wild flowers; It originated in the
fields) and It is intended to go back there.
I trust, In the hand of its good reader. Of
course, not all of It was written on sunny
meadow and in shady mood, nor were all
of Its Illustrations made at ones from
specimens gathered during various botan
ical rambles; but, in the truest sense ot
the word, nearly all of the book lot a direct
result of field work, ranging from New
Hampshire to Virginia."

THEY MUST GET NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Seeretavrjr of School Board Will Give
Enumerators "pedal Inatrae
tlons and Rehearsals De
fore Work Begins.
There lot to he some swearing done when
the school census enumerators begin work
next month. Not profanity, but oath-taking.
For the first time parents are to sol
emnly swear (or affirm) that they are tell
ing the truth about their children which
is commonly said to be a very hard thing
for a parent to do.
The eighteen enumerators, two for each
ward, are to begin any time after the first
of the month, but must complete their work
by the 26tn. receiving I cents for each name
they record. In 18'JO the total was $30,765:
last year it was $30,150. As the state's ap
propriation to the city la practically $1.50
per name Secretary Burgess of the Board ol
Education Is determined that none shall bs
missed and for that reason is) taking par
tlcular pains with tho preparations this
year.
He is sending out notices now of a meet
ing of the enumerators to be held In htl
office May SI, at which he proposes to school
them tn the work. He will be Mr. John
Jones, the head of a large and growing fam
ily, proprietor ot a boarding . house - and
guardian of the children of several deceased
friends. In this dual role he will pose for
the enumerators and require them to ask
him the questions that they expect to ask
those on whom they call. The census Is
supposed to include the nsmes of all per
sons married or single resident in the city
no matter how long, between the ages of
6 and 21. Thus the enumerator must learn
from the bead of each household not only
how many children he has, but how many
boarders, servants and friends are under
bis roof and the names of any absentee
who are there; ordinarily.
Oath is Innovation.
The plan of putting the parents under
oath is new and in anticipation of" possible
remonstrance the secretary has informed
the enumerators that they must report the
names ot any who refuse to give the re
quired information that he may have them
arrested and prosecuted. The form of the
oath la this: "You do solemnly swear (or
affirm) that you will fully and truthfully
answer all questions that the law requires
you to answer in the matter of census
enumeration, so help you God I"
The enumerators, six ot whom are princi
pals of schools and two teachers In ths
eighth grade, will each have a email book
to carry while at work. From it the en
tries are to be copied into the large record
and also onto blank sheets for tho county
superintendent These books are ruled
Into columns, the notations at the top of
the columns being these: Names ot par
ents and guardians, names ot children and
