How it Works.

The practical working of the
womans suffrage movement
has recently had a striking
exemplilication in Wyoming,
where q Mrs. Morris is Justice
Of the Peace. Her husband in
her absence at the Office, has
had to manage the domestic
affairs of his once happy home,
and on one occasion, the baby
becoming unusually turbulent,
he sought refuge in the flowing
bowl. Some malicious wags
discovered him in a considera-
bly, elevated condition, and
bearing him off to his wife's
office, demanded a warrant for
his arrest. After q moments
hesitation between wifely and
judicial feeling she granted the
demand, and proceeded to try
her lord and master for breach
of the peace, Mr.. Morris
head not being particularly
clear, he failed to comprehend
the situation, and accordingly
addressed the Court in his usu.
al familiar style. Being

The Woodsfeld Spirit re-
lates this horrible incident,
which shows that there is n
field for missionary labor in
Ohio as well as among the
hcathen:
A family living in Mata-
moras, Washington county, O.,
by the name Of Daily, had an
idiot son about eleven years of
age, who annoyed the neigh
bors considerably by taking
whatever he saw that pleased
his fancy, The neighbors in
sisted that the child should he
sent to an asylum, where he
could have proper attention.
The parents concluded they
could manage him; so they got
small chain and fastened it
around his neck, and gave him
in charge of his brothers, who
drove him around the streets
or wherever they went. If the
child stopped to look at any
thing that attracted his atten-
tion, they would give him a
cut with a whip and drive him
on. When they were tired Of
driving him, he was taken to a
hog pen, and the chain fasten.
ed up over his hand so he
could not reach it, and left to
stand in the hot sun. The
neighbols protested against
snch treatment, and he was
taken to the house and chained
on the porch, SO that he could
neither sit nor lie down. The
child, being subject to fits, was
left in this condition by the
parents, who well knew that a
iit was coming on the child

Fires in the Northwest
The COnfiagratiOns i'm the
Prairies and Woods of
Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Prairies and Woods of
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The fires which for q week
or more past have been sweep
ing over Minnesota and N orth'
ern Wisconsin, cover sections
of country truly enormous
That in Minnesota at latest
dates seems to have started in
Dakota territory, although
there is no evidence as to the
precise locality. The south
end of the conflagrotion is
crossing Northern Iowa, while
the northern end reaches far
up towards the head of Lake
Superior, and is sweeping down
the valley Of the st. Peters
river, and the forests east Of
the Mississippi above st.
Cloud. 1t seems probable that
this fire is advancing on q line
nearly three hundred miles
long, and that it has passed
over territory scarcely less on
an average than one hundred
miles in width, although the
outlines are irregular. That
in Wisconsin is even more ter.
nble, reaching from near New
London through all the conn
try east and north as high mp
as MenomoEee river, and how
much further is not definitely
known. 1t is also following
down the Lower Fox river
from Oshkosh towards Green
Bay, and a large force Of the
Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad men have been at
work for several days in pro-
tecting the ties and bridges
from destruction. Buildings
have already been destroyed
near Fort Howard opposite the
city of Green Bay. On the
east side Of Fox River it has
been equally disastrous, cover
ing nearly the whole country
west Of Manitowor, and uE
the peninsula northward, en-
bracing millions Of acres o
the finest timbered lard in the
West.
The catastrophe is so terrible
involving so many enterprise:
and people, as to amount to
national calamity, and it ha'
even been proposed to call the
Legislature of Wisconsin TO-
gether to devise measures fol
relief of the sufferers. Millions
in value have been destroyed
and still the fire fiend pursue
its way, human agencies being
utterly rowerless to arrest it
The disaster is the most wid'
spread and terrible that ha
ever visited the State, and viii
fall with a crushing weight OF
more than a hundred thousant
of the most industrious anc
deserving of the population
Large fires are reported il

The Wind Is blowing a gaze.
Tll e loss of property is esti
mated at $5O0,O0o, 1000, The
rain Of fire and birthstone on
Sodon and Gomorrah can
hardly be compared to the de-
vasta ting reign of the fire fiend
on Chicago. Fully 100, OOC
peoples we're rushing through
the streets in utter confusion,
not knowing whittier to 60,
or how to get anything to sat-
isfy the cravings Of hunger.
But more terrible than all is
awful certainty that many hui
man beings have found a fiery
grave; how many, no one eau
now tell. Perhaps no one can
ever tell; but some are known
to have perished, and there is a
most sickening fear that the
victims of the fiery monster
may be counted by scores.-
Late dispatches say the death
list will reach one thousand.-
60 dead bodies were found in a
barn. In some houses whole
families were burned to death.
Hundreds of horses and COWS
were burned in stables, and on
the North Side numbers,
though released from confne-
ment, were so bewildered and
by the sea of fire
surrounded them that
they rushed wildly to and fro,
uttering cries of fright and
pain until scorched and killed.
Any attempt at description OF
the,scenes of this terrible ca.
lamity would be idle. The
simple facts that the once great
city of Chicago is destroyed,
that hundreds Of millions OF
her active capital has vanished,
and that nearly one third Of
her inhabitants are homeless
dependents, d are enough. Any
attempt to embelllsh would be
but mockery,
Gen. Sheridan has 5000
soldiers there trying to keep
order-the city is full Of thieves
and incendiaries.
The Mayor of Chicago, q;
he saw the thousands Of desti
tute and grief stricken people
throng the unburnt districts O
Of the city, sent to many Other
cities a brief appeal for mate
rial aid. 1t was promptly re-
sponded to. A man might bt
a stranger to benevolent emo
tions; he might have a heart o.
ice, and be almost imperviou'
to humane sensibility, but the
dreadful intelligence melted
him. A great city transformed
in a few hours, into q heap o
ashes, and more than a third o
its inhabitants turned int
homeless dependents, wa
something so appalling, tina
nothing in the way of persona
exertion or contribution, wa
too great for him. Thus who'll
communities were moved b,
one common impulse to aid tn
fated city.

LOSS S5OO,OOO,OOO
THE sEOPLE SUFFERING,

1866, broke out in Chicago, ILL
inois, about II o'clock on Sat-
urday night, October 9TH
Within II hours six blocks
were burned and the fire con-
tinued to rage with great fury
until half past three Sunday
morning, when the danger ap,
peared to be all over and the
fire under complete control in
every direction.
This fire had its origin in a
planning mill, on Canal street,
and as the wind was fresh
from the south, the flames
spread north with great rapid
ity, and thence east, and with
in the space Of half an hour the
whole district named was all
ablaze.
The losses were at least
100000; one half Of the amt
being insured by Chicago,
Cleveland, Buffalo, New York
and SanFrancisco offices.
At 9:45 Sunday night anoth.
er alarm Of fire was given from
the corner of Halstead street,
about % miles from the Court
House. Within two hours the
flames spread over four blocks,
and could not be controlled in
the least on account OF the
heavy wind that was blowing
from the south. AT 1915 the
Gre had swept over more than
three times as large a space as
the fire of Saturday night
The fire engines seemed to be
powerless. A terrible panic
prevailed throughout the city.
Almost everybody--men, wo-
men, and children were in the
streets; praying, weeping and
wailing being heard in every
direction.
A dispatch dated at 1:45
Monday morning, said:
The vessels in the river are
catching on fire in every direc-
ton, and all in the South River
will probably be destroyed.
A raging, roaring hell of fire
envelopes twenty blocks of the
city. 1t is already within q
block of the telegraph office
where this dispatch is written,
and sweeping onward, whirl'
wind of flame, against which
human efforts are powerIess,
and it is impossible to tell
where it will stop.
The bridge across Van Bu.
rem street is burned, the ship
ping in the river, the cars on
the tracks Of the Chicago and
Alton and Fort Wayne Rail
Roads, with the immense
freight-house there, are swept
away. No language can des
crihe the awful scene. The
flames sweep through blocks Of
wooden buildings with the rap
idity Of a prairie on fire
Thousands of people fll the
streets, rushing out of dwell
lings, in many instances, bare

AT 2:10 that morning thu
