Grant Goiintu Herald Entered April 30. 1903. at Lancaster, Wis. as second class matter under act of Congress Df March 3. 1879. OFFICIAL CITY PAPER. fl. J. JOHNSON. Publisher. Wednesday, Nov. T, 1906 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE 51.50 PER YEAR BABCOCK DEFEATED. As this paper goes to press J. W. Murphy’s election to congress in th? Third district is conceded by a majority of about 600. His majority in Grant county is estimated at 383; in lowa county between 700 and 800. The contest in Sauk is so close that both parties claim it; Crawford county gave Congressman Babcock a majority of about 100; Vernon ■went for Babcock by nearly 500; Richland gave Murphy a lead of 132; Juneau went for Babcock by about 100. Congressman Babcock’s defeat is due to a large Democratic vote and the vote of disaffected Republicans. The Catholic voters turned out and worked with vigor tor Mr. Murphy all over the district. The vote in Vernon county is a great surprise. Mr. Babcock lost that county two years sgo by nearly 500; this year he carried it *>y about the same yote. Now it’s all iv-*r and the “I told you so’s” are having an inning. Lovely as the weather is Mr. Gobbler can feel the day drawing near. The rise of Geo. Cortelyou from :a position of obscurity to the im portant position of secretary of the U. S. treasury department all with in a few years is indeed an example to all ambitious young men. ACCIDENTS TO BLAME. Tie view of Modern Woodmen Losses Last Month Shows This. Accidental deaths were responsi ble for 51 of the 325 death claims, which were allowed by the board of directors of the Modern Wood men of America at the October meeting. Consumption was second with 40 victims Usually accidental deaths occupy second place, and it is shown by the statistics that deaths from accidental cause have, for the past ten years ranked second each year in imposition of losses upon the society. The following classification is made of the causes of death in the 325 cases passed on by the board: Constitutional diseases 71; circula tory diseases 45; zymotic or germ diseases. 24; genito-urinary diseases, 33; digestive diseases, 29; nervous diseases, 25; respiratory diseases, 4; miscellaneous including accident 74. Included in the miscellaneous classification of causes were 36 deaths from typhoid fever; 12 due to cancer; 11 cases of brain trouble; 8 each from paralysis and Bright’s disease; 9 caused by apoplexy; 2 from rheumatism and 1 death where insured was a victim of a murder. There were 9 deaths by suicide, only one of these members having been in the first three membership years, and one was in the nineteenth year. The classification from all causes shows 32 first years death; 24 sec ond years deaths; nine in the third year; 16 in the fourth year, 26 in the fifth, 25 in the sixth and 39 in the seventh year of membership. Of the 51 deaths from accidental causes six were in the membership year, five in the second, and four each in the third, fourth and fifth years. It is shown that with ad vance in age, hazard of death from accident decreases. It is a fact that by far the larger percentage of deaths is at the the younger ages, or ages of activity. There are seven deaths from tuberculosis in the first year classification, but from this cause occur in all the membership up to the 19th. There were 34 deaths from diseases in the heart but the first occurred in the fourth membership year, and one in the 20th. —• »• Royal Neighbors in the Lead. During the nine months of 1906 ihe Royal Neighbors of America have written more business than during the whole year of 1905, and during the year three assessments have been skipped. The society with a beneficiary membership of 111,493 September 30, and a social membership of about 50,000, is now j the largest of the women’s fraternal beneficiary societies. During 1905 the net gain was 12,809, while in 1906, up to September 30, the net gain was 14,146 for the nine months. The gain in the nine months represents 115,181,750 in insurance. There are now 44,000 camps of lodges. When no assessment was ordered for November, there was a balance in the benefit fund of 1189,993,40, and some $67,000 more is being received this month in response to the call for assessment No. 7. Be tween $40,000 and $50,000 is paid out each month in death clauns. The number of suspensions on ac count of failure to pay assessments is remarkably low, and out of a membership of 111,009 the average number of suspensions has been 593 and the reinstated 323 a month. The society is composed almost entirely by women officers, with the exception of two attorneys. Rock Island has the largest camp in the society, No. 281, it having a beneficiary membership of 349. Camp No. 113 of Springfield, "111., is a close second with 247 members, and Camp No. 101 of Rock Island is third in size, with 323 members for c irrying insurance. ~ Wreck on Northwestern. The incoming freight train on this division of the Northwestern was wrecked at a point about fiv© miles east of Lancaster Saturday evening. Conductor Phinney was in charge and Engineer Flynn was pulling the train. It was run ning about 20 miles per hour, when a refrigerator car jumped the track, followed by two other box cars. The train came to a sudden stop and the lurch threw Conductor Phinney against the desk in the ca boose with such force that he cracked a rib. The other trainmen escaped without injuries. The passenger train following was obliged to remain in Stitzer until Conductor Phinney’s crew could run to Lancaster and report the ac cident to headquarters. The freight engine then returned to the scene of the wreck and met the passenger train there. The passengers were transferred also the mail and ex press to a box car and brought to this city. Among the passengers were Atty. G. B. Clementson and bride, who were returning from their wedding tour. That box car ride as a finale to their tour will not be forgotten for some time to come. A wrecking crew came out from Madison in the evening and by early morning the track was cleared so the passenger train could reach Lancaster. ■ Saie of Pedigreed Shorthorn Cattle, at the stockyards in Fenni more, Wis., Saturday, Nov. 10, 1906, beginning at one o’clock sharp in the afternoon.
