the conclusion was heartily applauded.
DIR. S. @. Hall, of Ft. Scott, made
very happy response which expressed
many thanks for the hospitality of
Emporia ladies and citizens.
The president then introduced
Mrs. Clara b. Colby, editor
OF the Woman's Tribune, Beatrice.
Nebraska, who made very able adj
dress on the subject of woman's suf-
frage. She noticed at length the change |
which had taken place in the column |
devoted to women in many >hewspa-I
pers. and the change in objections |
raised against the question. A very
minute outline was given of the con-
dition of the question in Washington
Territory, where the supreme court |
has twice deprived women Of equal
suffrage. Mrs. Colby's address was
interesting throughout and threw
much light on the subjsst under dis
cussion.
Mrs. Johns then made an apology for
the non-appearance of two other ladies
who were on the programme, but stat

was also a gain and that the au-
dience would have the pleasure of
listening to Miss Susan B. Anthony, of
Rochester, N. Y. This announce
ment brought forth round of APP
plause. Miss Anthony gave, in her
very entertaining manner, the account
of her first attempt to cast vote in
her city in 1872 and her subsequent
arrest and unfair trial. After few
announcements the meeting adjourned
until $50 this morning.

encouraging reports from every quar-
ter of the state were received.

the subjects in hand. During
the meeting Rev. Anna Shaw
