The last cold snap caused our farmers
to put their vegetables into the ground
and to replenish their wood yards.
On last Friday = fire broke out on the
farm of DR.. Wakefield. The wind was
blowing very hard, so that despite the
strenuous efforts of those present. the
flames swept across 4 prairie meadow
to where about twenty tons of hay, be-
longing to Solomon Holt, were stacked,
and destroyed the whole amount. The
flames were finally extiDguished by the
aid of some stock drovers, who Glanced
to be passing, in time to ave u stack
yard which contained one hundred tons
Of hay.

Look Out For Them.

We find the following in the Burling
ton UOwa) Gazette. As some of thes(
swindlers may find their way into thi.
| section, we give the article an insertion
in cur paper so that farmers may be OF
their guard:
We understand that sharpers are go
ing for some of our farmers in the
ncighboring counties of Illinois. The
swind .ers travel through the country
with samples of goods, representing
themselves to be runners OF agents for
wholesale grangers' stores in Chicago.
They display their samples, offer their
goods at exceedingly low prices, and
take the farmers note for the amount.
payable in sixty days. The goods nev-
er get around and the notes
are traded off to innocent third par
ties, and while tn. farmer is congratula-
ting himself upon not buying of middle
men, and wondering why the goods
don't come, the note turns up. 1t is best
for farmers and others to buy only of
men they know. and especially not to
give their tote until they have value
received.
Some swindlers have also been oper-
ating in Lee county in another manner
They sell Il kind of compound to rem
der kerosene non-explosive. After ex-
p~crimenting for some time at the farm
house they induce the unsuspeeting
landlord to sign a certificate setting
forth the utility of the mixture. for the
edification of those of his ~neighbors,
who may be inclined like Thomas of
old. They usually operate with those
who cannot read English. or who are
not posted in the vain ways of this age
of swindlers and cheats. or course,
the certificate turns up in a few weeks
a a promissory note duly assigned, etc.
As the patent right and local agency
business becomes played out, these
scoundrels are forced to resort to some
new modes of swindling, and these are
among them. Look out for them.

SuHrace.

The American Woman Suffrage Asso
citation held a very successful Anieerss
~ and Annual Meeting in New Yorl
and Brooklyn, October Ii and Il. Tn,
Convention was large. The proceed
ings were spirited and harmonious
Great enthusiasm prevailed. Colone
I. Wentworth Higgins presided and
made the opening address. Letters en-.
dorsing the movement, were read from
Hon. George VIM. Curtis, VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, Lydia Maria Child, Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, Louisa NJ. Alcott and
others. Eighty-six delegates were pres
ent, representing organized societies in
fourteen States and Territories. The
annual report shows that woman suf-
frage is established and works well in
Wyoming and Utah, that it was under
discussion, last winter, in II State Leg
islatures, and received u majority vote
in those Of Maine, Iowa and Michigan.
Written reports We're read from seven
teen States. Julia Ward Howe was
elected President for the ensuing e
Lucy Stone, Chairman Executive Com
mlttec. Among the Vice Presidents at
Large are Vice President Henry Wilson,
Hon. George VIM. Curtis, Senator Sar-
gent. VIM. Lloyd Garrison and Colonel
Higginson. The resolutions adopted
are as follows:
RcSoired, That the primary aim of the
American Woman Suffrage Association
IS to secure the ballot for oma while
it includes, in its general aim. the estab-
llshment of her equality of rights in all
directions.
Resoiced, That one-half of the adult
population ofthe United States, who are
legally entitled TO hold property, who
are assessed for taxes and punishable
for crime, and Whose interests in the
Commonwealth is in no respect less than
that of the other half, should not be de-
prived OF an equal voice in the govern
ment.
Rcsolred, That a government of the
people must be a government composed
equally of men and women, inasmuch as
the equal cooperation of the sexes is es-
sential alike to 4 happy home. 1 refined
society. a Christian church and a repub-
lican state.
Reso'red, That u present political
is not fairly representative, even
men. being largely controlled in the
primary meetings by rings of trading
politicians intent on private gain; that
reform must enlist a more gen
eral interest on the part Of the people
in the management of public business
and that this would be greatly promoted
by combining the social sympathy and
c~o-operatian of woman in the primary
meetings. at the polls, and in the halls
Of Legislation.
Resolred, That we advise the friends
Of Woman Suffrage in every locality to
promote the movement morally and po-
litically, by organizing local societies,
for circulating tracts and newspapers,
for holding public meetings, and espcci-
ally for helping to elect the friends Of
Suffrage and to defeat its enemies.
Resoired, That the Woman Suffrage
like every other reform of
he age, laments the loss and honors the
memory Of its most powerful advocate,
John Stuart Mill.
