THE female suffrage question seems
to require more brain tissue than the
Wyoming constitutional convention has
at its command. The long haired mem
bers are anxious to graft woman suf-
frage upon their fundamental law, but
inasmuch as it has failed to produce any
percephble beneficent effect on the pol
ltics and laws of the territory after eigh,
years trial, there is a prevailing senti-
ment that it would be best to leave ii
out OF the state Constitution.

The Iowa supreme court has just de-

has stimulated the contraband liquor

in the larger cities, like Burlington,
Davenport, Dubuque and Council Bluffs,

THERE was a prolonged meeting of
the cabinet Yesterday, at which the
chief matter discussed was the question
OF an extra session OF congress. 1t is
understood that a negative decision was
reached, as was to have been expected
In view OF what the president ls re-
ported to have SAID on the subject to a
member OF congress, If it is fact that
the representatives from the new states
could not reach Washington before No
vember 10, the president Is right in
thinking it unnecessary to call con-
gress together two weeks in advance
OF the regular time of meeting, but
there is no good reason why those rep
resentatives could not be in Washing
ton by the first of November if it should
be necessary for them to do SO. The
elections take place early in October,
and three weeks ought to be ample time
in which to make an official canvass of
the votes and issue the certificates OF
election. However, there would, per-
haps, be nothing gained by an extra
session, and the country will have quite
enough of the next congress il 1t shall
not meet until the regular date in De-
cember.

THE appeal of the ten Thousand rail-

it is borne in mind that nearly five

thousand injured annually by reason o.
the present link and pin coupler the
necessity of automatic couplers or

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Bishop Newman of the Methodist Church
Thinks the South has Comparatively
Easy Task.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept 9.-Bishop Newman of
Omaha addressed the Methodist ministers at
their meeting at the Methodist church block on
the subject of the race problem in the South and
the work of the Methodist church in solving it.
The speaker told of his late trip through the
country and gave several illustrations of his eE-
perience. Ignorance and fanatiCism were
to blame for much OF the i'll
feeling, he said, but contrary to
the general belief the ignorance and fanaticism
colleges for colored people were doing wonder
full amount of good, and prominent Southern
statisticians admitted that there were more
iIliterate people among the whites than among
the ColOred people. This largely due to the
efforts af the Methodist church in pushing edu-
catian 9mong the negroes. The speaker said be
called on the governor of South Carolina and
had long talk with him. He discovers for the
first time that the Methodists were not working
for social equality for the negroes but for full
political recognition.
He complained - said the bishop ssof the
terrible strain engendered by race prejudices.
told him he had 8 comparatively easy problem,
You of the South, I said, have only your
native born people to contend with while in
the north have all Europe. I would
rather a thousand times be a SOutherner
and have the race problem to grapple with than
the problem in Chicago and the North, and be
confronted by these vast hordes of ignorant
foreigners who are swarming over here to take
hope it is not far dista Mt, when we can stand up
and firmly say, mo fOreign-born citizen shall
push forward, have place IN the legislature or
conduct this country
Bishop Newman remarks were received with
applause, but were not discussed.

killing were as follows: Wright had been max
ing some slight remarks about young lady VINO
was related to Graves. The remarks were re-
father. The father questioned Wright about the
alleged SANDER, ana the latter denied having
talked about the girl, branding the statements of
Graves false. Wright sent a note to
sCfraves asking him to meet the former
with the girls father, for the purpose
of adjusting the matter. Graves went to the
place designated for the meeting, thinking per
haps the matter could be settled in a peaceful
manner. He arrived at the place little in adj
vance of the girls father. Wright was there,
however. and at once demanded that Graves re-
tract what he had said. This the latter would
not do stating that he had only spoken the
truth about the matter and had nothing to take
back Wright thereupon commenced shooting
at Graves. two or three balls taking effect caus-
ing the wounded man to fall from his horse.
Wright then walked up to the struggling man
and placing the pistol to his head fired another
shot killing his victim almost instantly. Sew
eraI persons witnessed the shooting and are now
before the court. The prisoner is only twenty
two years of age and presents very youthful
appearance.

After they had ceased firing some OF the witness
es state that Luther pistol was beside him on

conflict IN the fact as 10 the killing. one

pistol, while others did not see him with pistol
either before or after the killing. After the
conclusion of the testimony the counsel
both sides urged the question OF Iurls-
