Returns After Many Years.

In the spring of 1871 James Rock of East
Saginaw, logging contractor, drew large
sum Of money on the completion Of a job and
went to Bay City TO pay debt. He enter
ed a saloon in that place and since then
nothing has been heard of him. 1t was be-
lieved he had been murdered and resident
of Saginaw was suspected Of the crime.
There was no evidence TO prove him guilty,
however. The suspected man was after
ward sentenced on another charge to state
prison and died there.
A few days ago an aged stranger called at
the Rock homestead and announced to the
supposed widow and fatherless children
that he was James Rock He stated that
the last he remembered, when at Bay City,
was being in a saloon with strangers. On
becoming conscious he found himself in
Kansas City. Then, realizing that he had
been drugged and robbed of the money
which should have been paid TO his partner
and employees, he concluded to remain away
from home until he had earned sufficient
money to meet his obligations.
He drifted to California, where he remain
ed until last week, when an east bound
train brought him to the bosom of his family.
Mr.. Rock has gone to San Francisco TO
settle up his business matters. When this
is done he will return to Saginaw TO live.

Editor Agnes Mcclellan.

Since Agnes Mcclellan assumed
editorial control of the Seward (Neb.
Democrat she has been the recipient of
considerable notice from the press, no
doubt largely because of her extreme
youth. Miss Agnes was born at Far
lington. Wis, on January 3, 1873, and
is now in her sixteenth year. On at
tanning her fifteenth birthday she was
placed in charge of the local page of
her father paper. In the fall of 1886
her father was taken sick, and for
weeks was unable 10 write even his
name The daughter gathered the
news, prepared copy, ran the financial
part of the institution and occupied the
editorial chair with charming grace
and unusual ability. During the sick.
ness of her father her mother died,
aud then came q time when it was
absolutely necessary that the young
editress must needs care not only for the
newspaper interests of Ter father, but
attend his wants in the sick chamber
and manage all the household and
Office affairs. In all she has been sue
cessful and has an enviable reputation
as a go-ahead wide-wide, enterprising
little business woman.
Miss Mcclellan is an transformations
little person, deeply interested IN her
newspaper work, beloved by her friends
and highly esteemed by her newspaper
brethren everywhere. Washington

better. A very large percentage of
sleeping car passengers are lad es, and
for that rea on it comes within the

companies try the experiment. hat
it would be satisfactory, both to the

THE STATE.
The Women's AppeaI.

To THE ELECTORS OF THE STATE OF MIcHI-
GAN:
Fellow Citizens We, the Equal Suffrage
association of Michigan, desire to bespeak
your consideration for the principle which
we advocate and which we believe funda-
mental in representative government. The
question of equal political rights for every
intelligent, law-abiding citizen of mature
years has outgrown its infancy. 1t has been
actively discussed for forty years in this
country. 1t is an established fact in two
territorieS-in one of them re-enacted after
its abrogation by the supreme court, thus
showing that it is no longer considered an
experiment in thai territory-and in one
state il is so far established as to make Kan
sas to-day the best governed state in the
Union. With pride you call this country
the home of liberty and espouse for your
selves the principle that taxation without
representation is tyranny. Now, we call
upon you TO accept and act upon this princi-
pie in its entirety, which can mean nothing
less than impartial representation for all
citizens, irrespective of sex. When adopt
ing a platform which shall avow your choice
OF policy, we ask you to disabuse yourselves
of sex prejudice, and TO supersede IL with
the broad idea of absolute right. Wendell
Phillips said ut is always eXpedient to do
right" and we believe that nothing short of
the complete enfranchisement of women Is
right in a democracy and we invoke you to
to trust in God to make it eXpedient
We are moved to make this appeal, not
alone for the benefit Of the women, but for
the Sake of the whole nation, which needs
the active co-partnership of these silent
partners in the public business. There are
grave moral questions affecting the welfare
of the state which can never be settled
with entire justice to all without the author
itative expression of the whole body polite,
and of this body we affirm that women are
a component part, and should have the pow
er of expression on the same terms as men.
We protest against all declarations that the
will of the people is manifested at the polls
so long rs one-half Of the people is dcbarred
the right Of suffrage. We declare it to be
our firm conviction that, if the moral senti-
ment Of the women of this country were
crystalized into legislation some Of the po-
litical problems which are now the despair
of statesmen would find an easy solution.
We believe that the Acknowledgement of
women would enfranchise the nation from
the foreign idea of the subsection of women,
and substitute the American idea that gov
eminent rests upon the consent of the gov
erncd, and not upon brute force. We be-
lieve that the declaration in our national
constitution of entire political freedom for
every citizen, irrespective of class, color or
sex, would advance the United States as far
in the van of liberty in this century as did
their first declaration of independence in the
last century.
Impelled by patriotism and sincere love
of justice, we subscribe ourselves,
