zion, and Now Want Reward.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 13.-The women
who took such q prominent part In the
recent campaign for the peoples party
are here In force. They claim, and with
much force, that without sheir assistance
the republicans would have been sue
cessful, and they now demand as re-
ward that the legislature grant them
complete state suffrage. They have pre-
pared bill proclaiming that women be
eligible to all state, county and munich
pal offices, and giving them the right to
vote at all elections.
A secret caucus of sixty peoples party
legislators and a number Of alliance lead
ers was held, which was addressed by
Mrs. M. e. Leese and Mrs. Annie l..
Diggs, two women who did more than
all the other orators combined to give
the alliance success at the polls.
Mrs. Diggs, in her speech, showed that
the farmers wives had made success
possible and asked that suffrage be
granted She also requested that women
be given control of all the benevolent In
stitutions in the state. Mrs. Diggs con-
cluded her speech with an appeal to the
legislators for justice to women, asking
IL their request would be granted.
est will" shouted the legislators In a
body.
A number of speeches were made by
others favoring such q course.

when the steamer left, but the McLane
was out on a message OF death. Away
she flew as perhaps she neverflew before
In her lifetime The boat groaned, but.
she weathered the storm, and finally
reached Sombrero Head. The first cut
ter was finally got in readiness, forty
gallons of oil placed in the bottom of the
boat, and crew In charge OF Lieut..
Uberroth, with life preseryers on,
stood ready to pull away the
moment the steamer stopped. Between
the lighthouse and the MeLane heavy
sea was running. Nothing daunted,
however, the cutter was lowered to the
water, and made dash at the surf.
With o cry of horror all ON board saw
the boat and her crew disappear, but
only for an instant. for there she was
again, outside the surf, but full Of water
Her men were overheard, hanging onto
the gunwales and bailing out. In few
minutes Uberroth was at 1t again, steer
ing with long oar over the stern. A
second time the cutter was thrown back,
but in the third attempt she was carried
over the shoal on top Of huge white
comber, amid the cheers of the men on
the McLane.
The cutter mado directly for the light
house. The wind was bowling and the
seas running so high that no one away
up in the iron structure heard the cries
of the men in the boat. Awaiting his
chance, Uberroth jumped at one of the
Orders Of the staircase, lowered tackle,
and in few moments had forty gallons
of oil out of the boat, To say that the
McLane's boat was a godsend, is putting
it mildly. 1t perhaps saved more than
one ship from going to pieces on the
night of the 18th, on Sombrero reef.
Uberroth succeeded in reaching the Nc
Lane, meeting less trouble in the surf On
the way back.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
An Old German Farmer Found With His
Neck Broken.

Neck Broken.
MARsEILLEs, ILL.,, ina. 1.-THE mys-
terry surrounding the death of Sam
Swartz, found by the tax collector OF
Grand Rapids township Tuesday after
noon, was not cleared up by the coroner's
inquest. He was found lying on the
floor and against tho stove, his body
doubled up and his neck broken, with q
dipper in his hand. His body was rigid
and he had been dead for several days.
The dead man and his brother were
Germans, both bachelors, 35 to 40 years
old, who owned q farm and lived to-
gether without any help. They thought
o great deal of each other, and when
i'm LIQUOR would imagine they were sold
iers or Indians, and would fight and shoot
at each other, apparently in earnest, but
never with any serious results. A few
years ago they burned one of their out
buildings during one OF their spreeS.
The surviving brother, when found, had
his head done up In towel and his face
was badly blistered. He explained this
by saying that Mr.. Rugg, Of Ottawa,
called there one day last week and told
him to use hot water for neuralgia,
which he had done and blistered his
face. When asked why he did not In
form some one that his brother was dead
he replied that Monday morning,
when he found Kim lying on the floor,
he thought he was playing dead. as he
had done so before; that he had built q
fire in the stove, which had burned his
brothers shoulder, but that Tuesday
morning, when he found him still there,
he knew he was not playing dead; that
he had then gone to neighbours and
told them to get ready for a funeral
Nothing further than he will tell can be
known about the affair and he Is sup
posed to be crazed 1t Is supposed that
they were having one of their imaginary
scrimmages with Indians and the result
was fatal to one of them and has prOba-
bly wrecked the mind of the other. The
neighbors say that when sober they were
harmless, but when drunk they were
constantly I'm fear that the brothers
would burn property or injnre some one,

A BIG CATTLE RANGE.
Western Kansas to BE Converted Into
Huge Pasture by Cattlemen.

Western Kansas to BE Converted Into a
Huge Pasture by Cattlemen.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 13.-Ever since
the cattlemen have been driven out Of
the Cherokee they have been trying to
find some place for q range that would
not be too far from the markets to be
available. Such range has been found,
and syndicate Of mortgage companies
in this and eastern cities has been
formed for the purpose of consolidating
the western part of Kansas into one vast
cattle range. The lands In that part of
the state have been mortgaged to their
full extent by the settlers, and the con-
tinued droughts have caused such an
exodus from there that mortgage COM
panies are finding themselves with thou
sands of acres on hand which they can
do nothing with in the way of selling or
renting.
It is understood that foreclosure sales
of mortgaged lands, amounting to over
1000, 900 acres, have been ordered in the
western tier of counties, and as all this
land lies together it is to be rented to
the cattlemen, or else the financial COM
panies will use the range themselves and
form cattle syndicate.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 13.--Justice

Cleveland put him on the bench to graf
ify personal friendship Justice Lamar
has never lightened the labors OF the
court much, though he has faithfully
sought to perform the work assigned to
him by the chief justice in writing opin.

Justice Lamar's retirement within the
next year or SO he would not be able ID

because he would not have had ten years

would he have reached the age OF 20.
But he has q comfortable private for

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 17.-Several of
the great lights on the Florida reefs
have recently had narrow escapes from
running out of oil. Owing to the high
.tnorthers' In the gulf, of late, the gov
eminent lighthouse steamer Laurel has
been unable to visit Key West for over a

some eight first order lights stand senti-

lnencing at Foyer rock and ending at

GOODBYE TO THE SALT TRUST
IL Will Go Out of Existence March 31-A
Decline Predicted.

AA6NAStOos
SAGINAW. Mich, Jan. 17.-At the
annual meeting of the Michigan Salt
association held here yesterday, bomb
shell was exploded in the form of a reso-
luton to the effect that the organization
shall cease to exist March 81. Stranger
still the resolution was almost unani-
mously adopted. The cause is said to be
that owing to the competition in the
salt manufacturing business through
out the country and the extent OF
production, the association in order
to market the product has been
forced to sell large quantities in certain
territory at less than the actual cost of
the manufactured product, depending
upon the better markets to make up the
price. 1t was the talk among manu-
facturers last evening that.a stock COM
pany would doubtless be formed to buy
and sell the salt product. 1t is also UNI
derstood that a similar company will be
formed by Manistee manufacturers.
The manufacturers members of the
association made 9,864, 900 barrels last
year, and the sales were 2,771, 1853 bar
rels, of which amount Chicago
received 1,2O6,619 barrels. The Mich
igan Salt association was organ
lied in May, 1876, and soon
after established agencies at all of the
leading centers of distribution In the
west. Tt fixed the prices of salt, and in
effecting unity of action in the salt in
terest it has worked immense benefit to
the individual manufacturer as we'll as
to the salt interest generally. During
the entire existence of the association
w. r. Burt has held the Office of presi-
dent and ID. G. Holland secretary. To
their efforts is due the beneficial results
that have resulted from the organiza-
ton. The action taken promises
to cause revolution in the trade not
only in Michigan, but throughout the
country. A heavy decline is looked for
when the stocks now In the hands of the
association are disposed Of.
