is Required.
The suit which G. T. Wernecke has
brought to condemn certain lands, owned
by the Townsite company, Is in the dis
trict court. He alleges that he owns
the franchise and right to use certain
streets in Great Falls for the purpose of
a street railway to be operated by cleo
trio, steam, cable or horsepower. The
railroad is to run along Second avenue
South to 18th street and thence to Black
Eagle falls.
The right-of-w way sought from the
Townsite company would be through lots
3 to 10, inclusive, in section six and lots
n and two in section seven, township
20 north, range 4 east.
Mr.. Wernecke says in his suit that if
he is accorded the right-of. way in the
land aforesaid he will Immediately com
mence to build said railway thereon and
proceed at once to operate the same by
electric, steam, cable or horsepower.
The plaintiff sprays judgment that a
strip or piece of land 1871 feet wide" be
condemned and that three persons be APP
pointed to determine the value of same.
Douglas Martin is attorney for the
plaintiff.

KANSAS ELECTIONS,

Women Appear to Have Taken Less Inter-
est Than Two Years Ago-The Issues
Purely Local,
TOPEKA, Kan, April affections
were held in Kansas in sixty cities of the
first, second and third class for council
men and members of the school boards.
In nearly all the cities no political lines
were drawn, and the ballots were
fought on purely local issues. The only
interesting feature in the election was
the exercise of suffrage by the women,
who are permitted under the laws of
Kansas to vote for city officers and
members Of the school boards,
Az Manhattan the women, who cap
tQred all the city Offices two years ago,
had another ticket in the field, and the
prospects are that it was elected over the
three other tickets.
In this city little interest was mani
tested outside Of one ward. Out of q
total registration of about 600 women
Poters only Rbont 426 voted.
At Atchis0n the result was disastrous
to the women, who started out to cap
ture four members of the school board.
One oma candidate is elected-Miss
Lydia StookWall-but she had no opposi,
ton. Miss Stockweil was, however,, un-
mercifully scratched, many men pre-
ferying TO vote q blank rather than tor a
woman,
Defeated by . colored Woman.
At Salina, Kan, the election was an
animated one. The Female Suffragists
had nominated a woman candidate for
the school board from two wards. A
colored woman was run by the Anti
Suffragists. The Suffragists were de-
feated and the colored woman elected
by an overwhelming majority. At Hia..
Watha three women were elected to the
school board, but at Wellington the
three women candidates were showed
under.

A REA SPEECH.

Condemned Conspiratoys.,

SohuOhlAntu SOHbptThtDIb
WASHINGTON, April 4.-There was a
good deal of Montana republicanism
present when the contested case was
called up. Russell Harrison slipped
away several times during the afternoon
to stiffen the backbone of supposedly
weak republicanism.
Sanders was on the floor of the senate
from the time the debates started until
the adjournment and was in frequent CON
sultation with Spooner and Ingalls,.
Assisting them in their work was Car
ter, who confined himself to prompting
Teller and Hoar.
Senator Clark was in the front seat of
n of the galleries, while Senator Ma
ginnis occupied the rear seat on the floor.
The case was opened by Senator Hoar
in a speech of about an hour in length.
1t was a feeble effort. He advanced the
frivolous points, such as insufficient
number of judges, manner of certitica-
ton, and dwelt on the allegation of fraud
that has been discovered by the illegality
in the sheriff contest.
MAsTERLY ARGUMENT.
At the conclusion of his speech a few
senators we're left in the chamber, but
they soon returned when Senator Gray,
who followed him, commenced to speak.
He supported the claims of Clark and
Maginnis in a mastery speech of three
hours, closing for adjournment.
He maintained that the theory the state
canvassing board could not issue valid
certificates to the five republicans from
Silver Bow county, as by their own adj
mission they had no returns from that
county, and they could not act ON general
information or current report, and yet
they certified to a true and correct alb
stract of all the votes in the territory.
He characterized the members of that
board as self-condemned conspirators,
who ought to have bean whipped at the
iail of a cart in every county
and town in the state. His speech was
said by many to be one Of the greatest on
political questions ever delivered in the
1t was replete with logic and
adorned with lively rhetoric.
At Its conclusion Senator Evarts and
of the republicans as well as all
the democrats congratulated him on
It's delivery.
Senator Hoar moved about uneasily
from seat to seat under the sscathing logic
and keen shafts of Gray's argument.
Gray will resume his speech tomorrow.

ECHOES OF ELECTIONS.

Bennett school Law the Issue in wiscon-
sin-Peck Elected Mayor of Milweu-
kee.
MILWAUKEE. Wis, April An the
municipal election the Democrats elected
their entire ticket. George w. Peck,
the proprietor of Peck's Sun, Democratic
candidate for mayor, has a plurality over
Brown Republican, of $500. Brown is
the present mayor, and was a candidate
for re- election. N. s. Murphy, who was
the late Matt Carpenters law partner,
headed a third--the Citizens ticket, The
chief issue in the election was the Ben
net compulsory education law. The
Professionals favor the law, while the
Catholics wish 1t repealed. Mr.. Peck
was understood to side with the repeal
ers. The fight on the Bennett law is ex-
pected to have an influence in state poll
tics.
