P1ucked Bare by the Lawyers.

Orange City Herald: d. G. Shull,
q Sioux City attorney, was in town
Tuesday making a final settlement
of tie affairs OF the Rudd estate. A
few years ago when II. IL. Rudd, of
Calliope, took the management Of
the estate it was worth 100000; to-
day money enough cannot be found
to pay the court expenses. This
condition Of things is partly ex-
planned 10y the fact that thirty-eight
different firms of lawyers in Iowa,
Illinois and Dakota have at different
times been engaged to look after tho
interests OF the heirs. In speaking
Of the heirs to the estate, Mr.. Shull
related how a brother Of the dece-
dent committed suicide. in Illinois

lacked Absalom's long hair, but he
rode . mule under an oak tree, fast
ened his neck to a limb with q scarf,

The Woman's Suffrage Conven-
ton held in this city last Friday and
Saturday, drew in quite a large
number Of people from different
parts Of the County. The noted
Susan B. Anthony spoke to a large
audience in the Opera House, on
Friday evening, and Mrs. Mary
Seymore Howell, another lady Of
distinction, spoke on Saturday even
ing at the same place. From the
interest manifested in our County,
we should judge that q good major
ity Of the people were in favor OF
Woman Suffrage and would vote to
have it in our State Constitution.
The advocates Of the question are
organizing thoroughly, and q red
hot campaign will be waged. Both
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Howell are
gifted oratora and those who heard
them were highly entertained.

The democratic scheme in the
State now is to put up a straight
democratic State ticket, then have
the Farmers Alliance put up a
third party ticket, which with the
republican ticket will make three
tickets in the field. They hope to
induce all republican farmers to
vote the Alliance ticket, thus divid-
ing the republicans while the DEM
ocratic farmers are to be held strict
ly to their party ticket and thus
place the control Of the State into
democratic hands. A good many
republican farmers alliance men are
already onto the scheme and the
democratic manipulators will find
before the campaign is closed that
republicans are not SO easily hood
winked as they imagine.

The many friends ofBen. Crum
will be glad to learn shat he has re.
covered sufficiently to walk out and
is now on his way home, having
stopped at Omaha to visit with his
daughter a few days. Benz has been
in the Presbyterian Hospital at
Chicago, under the treatment of DR..
Parks for only about three weeks,
and it seems hardly possible, al
though it it gratifying fact, that
he should so rapidly recover, when
it is well known that he has been
confined to the house most of the
time 10 his bed for nearly two years.
1t is to be hoped that his recovery
is permanent. He will be at home
in a few days.
