out the intention of the Legislators,
and found that at the same session p.
which the law in question was passed,
a bill granting unrestricted suffrage to
woman was defeated, and also a bill
to grant woman suffrage in municipal
elections, and that the present law
consequently could not have been pass

Their than school elections. Olympia
was warned long ago by Mr.. 0lin that
this would be the end of it, but she
wanted to call him out and shoot him
to death with whitening indignation,
but Mr.. 0lin preferring a natural death
didn't go, and now Olympia mourneth
in sack cloth and ashes and refuseth
to be comforted. 1t is seldom that
anyone who needs legal advice can get
it gratis from as able a lawyer as Mr..
Olin, and it is doubtful if Olympia has
forgiven him yet for the gracious act,
which, had it been appreciated, would
have saved her from present mortifca-
tion. But she never thought it posi-
BILE for her to mortify; could not see
to save her, how one SO composed
could so soon decompose, but she NOR
titles first rate, and does it alone too,
will not even let the most sympathetic
reporters, who know all about morti-
fication, come near her; not even her
best griends are admitted TO the NOR
LITIGATION business without cards. 1t
is thought that, in her solitude she is
trying to decide who is wrong, and if
she ever concludes that the supreme
judges are right, she will be like Old
Hutchinson, with his blast, when in
trying to lift great mass of marble
from its bed by the aid of a sand blast,
used so much powder that the great
rock was torn into small pieces. and
when asked how his blast suited him,
responded: Just as LCdnted it,
There are large number of good
people in this state who desire that
woman suffrage shall be granted, but
it is but very small number who de-
sire to reach that end by technical
dodge. The decision is, in one of its
phrases favorable to the cause, in that

constitution is needed, a legislative
enactment being all that is required.
As an evidence of the resources of the
literary circles of this city, we men
tion the fact, that, a public lecture
was to be given last week by one of
the University professors, on the
early discoveries in America or the
Northwest, and the professor through
sickness being unable to fill the APP
pointment, the club in control, on
short notice called Prof. A. o. Wright
Sec. of the Board of Charities and Re-
form. who being much like an ency-
clopedia, which, opened anywhere re-
veals something good, was called, and
taking up the theme gave the au-
dience an hour of rich entertainment.
While the people of st. Croix Val
ley were, during last week basking in
the sunlight, painting in the heat so to
speak, and singing hallelujahs over
the beautiful weather, the denizens Of
this portion of this terrestrial mud
ball were enveloped in fog which hung
soggy and limp on everything and
everybody like a wet blanket on a
clothes line. The streets, deep with
unfrozen snow that would not pack,
looked as if the sugar trust had emp
tied their full stock of Coffee "A" on
them as grim joke on suffering hu-
manity, to mock the anguish OF those
whose. bowels yearn for saccharine
matter. The event of the week was,
the great sleighride given the child.
rem Saturday by the city. Nearly $50
sleighs led by band were filled with
little ones TO the number of 5000, and
paraded the streets for hours to the
great delight of all, both old and
young. The occasion was sweetened
by Mr.. CRUDE, the confectioner, who
gave to the jolly Juveniles 5000 sticks
of candy. 1t was rare treat to see
the long procession wind through the
streets with banners flying, mid songs
and shouts of the kids and kidesses.
who will long remember the kindness
of the city fathers.
This week the state agricultural So
ciety holds its annual convention here.
the doings and sayings of which from
sourkro ut to ensilage, and from billy
goats to thorough breds we will re-
port in due time. Doc.
