Lawrence Merchants Kick for
University Patronage.

OSBORNE, April 30.-The newest and
most unique method of helping forward
the equal suffrage campaign has been
evolved in this county (Osborne), where
there has been organized a woman's
league, on the plan OF the old time Farm
er's alliance. The scheme is an elabor-
ate one, and it is the intention of the pro-
jectors to extend it over the whole Sixth
district
The first meetings have been held in
school houses and are sacred to the fair
sex. Husbands, brothers and sweethearts
are left on the outside. Windows are
darkened and an outside Waterman
guards with solemn round the bivOuac
of femininity within. The object of the
order is not alone equal suffrage, but it
is to advance the cause of any women
candidates who may come up for office
in the county.
There are at present many women
elected county superintendent and the
office of register of deeds is open to the
women if they can get it. The women
OF the league propose to get it, and the
support of secret society will, it is ex-
pected, help them to accomplish it.
The women point to the success of the
Alliance as a secret society to show what
can be accomplished.

Secretary Lamont RENTS Sentences to
Make Room in Military Prison.
LEAvENwoRTH, April 30.-To relieve
the crowded condition of the military
prison Secretary Lamont has RENTED six
months of the time of confinement of all
prisoners sentenced for desertion to
period of two years and six months, the
release depending also on the good be-
havior of the prisoner. The war depart
ment believed that by this equalization,
a sufficient number would be discharged
to prevent overcrowding.
The prison authorities find that about
eighty prisoners will be affected by the
order. Five were discharged at one time
and eight the next day.
1t is not probable that the men will be
released in any great number at any one
time.
