REGISTRATION OF WOMEN.
Chicago Fair Ones who Are DESTROYS Of
Voting at Elections.

Chicago Fair Ones who Are DESTROYS OF
Voting at Elections.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The chief interest in
the registration of voters which began
yesterday centers in the action Of the
women, who claim that under the new
law they should be allowed to register.
This is in spite of the fact that the election
commissioners and the county judge have
sent out printed instructions to judges and
clerks not to register any women-except
those naturalized prior to 1870. But the
women get behind the opinion Of their at
torneys, who they say have as much right
to express an opinion on the subject as the
attorney of the board Of election commits
soners. So yesterday morning many
women who want to exercises the priv
lege of casting ballot for the candidates
for school intendent.presented them
selves before the election officers.
The State of the Case.
The trouble is with the wording of the
law which was supposed to grant to wom-
EN- the privilege Of voting for school Off
GERS 1t has been construed by the law
officers of the election board to require
that woman, to be allowed to vote, must
have been naturalized prior to 1870 The
women have been fighting this before the
board for week, but the board has stuck
to its decision. And another thing the
women "kick" about is the refusal Of the
election commissioners to construe the
words male citizens" in the law as in
Guiding women.
Successes and Failures.
Notwithstanding these decisions the
women made raids on a the registration
places yesterday and tried to have their
names put on the voting lists. But only
mt Hyde Park were they successful unless
they could show naturalization papers
dated prior to 1870. At Hyde Park the
Judges compromised and entered the
women's names on slips Of paper instead
of the books, but none Of the judges would
write the word qualified" after the name,
even there Among those who went to be
registered was Mrs. Judge Tuley. She
was courteously received, was sworn and
answered all the questions. whereupon
her name was entered, but without the
necessary word qualified" after It. AT
many of the precincts, however, the
judges peremptorily refused to enter
women's names in any manner. Miss
Ada G. Sweet was one of these and she
has entered protest. There were probably
10000 women offered to register, 800 OF
whom got their names down.

LITTLE lake in Alaska, town living
between Ahnapee and Kewaunee, was
found to contain large deposits OF shell
mari. 1t is said that Eastern capitalists
took options on the surrounding lands
with view of finally purchasing should
the mari prove to have any economic
value. Supt. ratzer while botanizing in
Newton discovered large deposits of shell
mari near small lake. George French
OF Cato some weeks ago brought to The
Pilot office specimens of the same ma
terial which he had found near the sur
face. Inquiry and investigation on the
part of Mr.. Patzer and the writer shows
that most of the moranine lakes IN this
section and even those of OconomowCc
have similar deposits.
The kewaunee Enterprise says that
the samples sent out from Alaska have
been found to be of the desired quality
1. Q. such as can be used in the manufac-
ture of cement, and the results to the
county WILL be very advantageous. The
Enterprise is too sanguine. The mari has
no value as material from which to make
cement and has but little value as fer
tllizer. Specimens of the mari found at
Cato and Newton were sent to President
ChamberGn, who Is one of the greatest
geologic authorities of the age. He says
the material is essentially carbonate of
lime, there is combined with it some or
ganic matter derived from deoom posed
animal and vegetable matter" He also
says that shell mari has no def mite stand
ing1n the market as a fertilizer land cam
not be sald to have a commercial value
soils in this county have sufficient lime
and do not need this special fertilizer
He thinks good results might follow the
use of the mari but they might not
be appreciated as they would not be
quick and would be spread over series
OF years. A mixture of the mari and
peat would be good for the soils of this
region as the mari corrects the acidity of
the peat, but results even ii this case
would not be striking. This is about the
substance OF what Pres. Chamberlin has
TO say on the mari as fertilizer, With
reference to his opinion as 30 It's value in
the manufacture OF cement, lie is quoted
in eg.,i ii the following:
Cement, if by that term hydraulic
cement is meant, is not made from this
material. When burned it would give
some quick lime, which could be used
for Ordinary mortar, but would have no
special hydraulic properties. It differs
from plaster of Paris or land plaster, in
being carbonate of lime, the latter being
sulphate of lime"
Sach an eminent authority as Prest.
Chamberlin settles the question of the
value of this marl That it will pay far
meFs to use it in certain cases as d fertil-
izer there can be no doubt. There is an
abundance of it in this section.

considerable advance in price, it by no

last week. He says large number of
country merchants relying upon the
large crop sold short, that is sold at a
stated price for future delivery. The
movement which ran prices up was de-
signed to force these men 10 an immediate
settlement, which r,eans ii profit to the
