The condition among the coal
miners ct ntinues serious, and there
is no promise of a let-up soon.
Some of the railroads are doing lit
tHbusiness owing to scarcity OF
coal, many factories have shut down
for the same cause. In some cases,
the water supply of cities is cut Oft
because there is no coal to run the
water.works. Matters do not wear
very roseate hue. Three coal
companies at at Leavenwoath have
advanced wages, so there will be
no strike there.

Rev. DR.. Countermine, the popu-
lar Presbyterian minister of Beatrice,
Nebraska, recently preached a ser
mon on woman, Her Debts, and
her Dues" which took very strong
ground for woman's right to equal
pay and to the ballot. The speaker
claimed that the present condition OF
the country proved conclusively
that something is wrong in our pol
itical atmosphere, and that we need
the aid of women to help out. The
earnest and able advocacy of wo-
mans enfranchisement by this infu-
entail pastor will be a tower OF
strength to the suffragists of Nebras-
ka.-Woman' Tribune.

Woman Voters in Colorado.

The recent elections show that the
best class of women will vote. In
Leadville, 1,50O women registered,
and nearly all voted. In Pueblo,
about 40 per cent. of the total vote
was cast by women. In Greeley,
their vote was half the total, as each
party had woman candidate for
treasurer, and this created a lively
canvass. In Highland, suburb of
Denver, women polled 1000 out of
total of 1900 votes. Throughout
the state, the general proportion Of
the woman vote was about third
of the whole, notwithstanding that
in the towns the majority of the
population is male.
These facts are CLEANED from reli-
able CORES pondence of the Western
Christian Advocate, and the letter
closes as follows: The elections
mean better city government, less
gambling and strict Sunday closing
for many of our towns; while at
least four will receive the blessing
of actual prohibition, which had
always seemed unattainable. 1t
must be admitted that there is
abroad in our state new and
mighty power in politics, which, in
the main, will be ever on the side of
law and decency."-Woman' Trib-
une.

A BRAVE PREACHER.

We clip the following dispatch
from the Kansas City Star:
WELLINGTON, KAs., May 22.-ln
the Methodist church at Belle Plaine
last night, the Rev. j. D. Botkin, OF
this city, Prohibition candidate for
governor in 1888, and for six years
presiding elder in the Methodist
church, lectured on "The Nation s
Perils In it he referred to the
evils which beset national legislation
among others the whisky and
other trusts, lobbying, bribery, cleo
tion methods, partisan whipping and
immoral surroundings of legislators,
and declared that all measures al
fecting the moral, social, political
or religious welfare of the people
were fit topics for discussion in the
pulpit. Incidentally, he passed some
severe structures on the national
banking law, and declared that the
conviction of the "Commonweal
leaders" for walking on the grass OF
the capitol had the effect of "mak-
ing him tired"
j w. Forncy, late chairman of
the Republican county convention,
arose in the rear of the room and
interrupted Mr.. Botkin by asking
"Do you believe the conviction un'
just?"
at is trivial-infernal," replied
the Rev. Mr.. Botkin with strong
emphasis eff hundred million
aires walked on the grass, not a
word would be said"
G R. Parsons, a leading Demo
cratic banker, sprang to his feet di-
rectly in front of the speaker, and
cried: "Leave the room. Let's
leave the church" "
Two dozen men and women got
up and started for the door.
"Stay and take your medicine" "
cried State Senator A. G. Forney,
brother of the Republican chairman,
while there were deep murmurs in
the church, much laughter and some
stifled applause.
The speaker offered to divide time
with those who had interrupted him,
but they went out. He had con
tinued but few moments when the
ianitor of the church interrupted /;
"You are hurting our pastor, the
Rev. Mr.. Burns"

SUFFRAGE MASS MEETING.

The mass meetings held in this
city last Friday and Saturday, in
the interest of the woman suffrage
amendment, were certainly grand
success, in point of attendance and
in every other respect. Susan b
Anthony's absence was a disappoint-
ment to all, but good reasons were
given tor her non-appearance, and
the other speakers gave their hear
ers such rare treat that the keen
edge of disappointment was remov-
ed.
Friday evening, the Auditorium
was filled to hear Mrs. Rachel L..
Child, and many were the express
sions of praise of the speaker, who
is certainly well acquainted with
her subject, and knows just how to
handle it.
Saturday afternoon, the people
were packed into the Auditorium
like sardines in a box, and then
many were unable to get i'll. Miss
Helen L. Kimber was the first
speaker, but her remarks were some
what brief. She perfected county
organized, with Miss Laura Gregg
as president Mrs. j. G. Reed as
secretary, and Mrs. Anna Champe
as treasurer. By this time, Rev.
Anna H. Shaw had arrived and she
was introduced to the audience.
Then commenced one of the most
mastery, able, logical addresses
ever listened to on the subject OF
woman suffrage. One of the chief
charms of this speaker is the man.
ner in which she keeps her hearers
in a good humor while she drives
home the lncontrovertible truths.
She abuses no one, although she
"hits hard"
Miss Shaw spoke again at night
to a packed audience. 1t seemed
impossible that she could produce
any additional argument in favor o1
suffrage, but she accomplished the
"feat" without any trouble. The
fact is, she's chock-full of facts and
argument.
Sunday afternoon, Miss Shaw
preached a suffrage sermon at the
uditorium, and at night, she and
Mrs. Child and Rev. Vollmer made
short addresses at the Methodist
church.
The music for these meetings
furnished by Mrs. Black, Mrs
Mize and Mr.. Whitehead, was ex

GEN. KELLEY is still Sailing"
toward Washington with his indus

be arrested for getting on the grass,
however, but will speak to the peo-
pie from a balloon. Possibly the
policemen will shoot holes through
the balloon, though, and make him

get a chance to arrest Kelley.

sToREHousEs BURNED.
Early Sunday Morning Fire Subdued After
Long Struggle.

About 2 o'clock Sunday morning fire was
discovered in the store house Of the Fall
Mountain Paper Co., opposite the Island
house. The first alarm was given by engines
on the railroad, which was quickly followed
by regular alarms from boxes 81 and 32.
In q few minutes firemen were on the scene
and had streams of water playing on the fire,
but from the first there was no hopes Of saw
ing the building. 1t was filled with paper
stock, rags, etc., which furnished excellent
fuel for the flames. From the nature of the
contents, the fire was difficult one to sub.
due, though surrounded by a dozen streams
of water. The big rotary pump at the gate
house did excellent work, throwing two
streams, and the hydrants near the fire were
taxed to their fullest capacity. Luckily the
wind was blowing toward the north, driving
the flames and sparks away from other build
ings, and the fire was confined to its original
territory. Within half an hour the roof and
two sides of the building were entirely con-
snmed, but there was plenty of fuel left. and
the fire continued to burn with unabated fury,
sending a shower of sparks skyward, but
soon after the fire was under control, and
the recall sounded. Two companies were
kept at work on the fire, however, till near
noon before it was finally drowned out. OF
course most of the contents of the building is
total loss, though some of the stock can be
worked over again. The loss on building and
contents is about $4,000, fully covered by in
surance. The origin of the fire is unknown.
W hen the alarm was first sounded residents
of the back streets thought it was the paper
mills, the flames seeming to come from the
hollow. There was some lively hustling
among mill owners to get down town, and
more than one man felt relieved when they
located the fire. Some of the mills got their
fire pumps ready for immediate use in case of
emergency, and had there been any danger
of the fire spreading there would have been
dozen more streams started in short order.
There was considerable difficulty from hose
bursting, and in several instances the hose
leaked so that the water would barely flow
from the nozzles. The efficient work of the
tiremen in saving surrounding buildings has
been highly praised. There was danger of
big contlagration which only energetic work
preyented

Those who have laughed over the wit and
sarcasm of Hoyt's plays which have been
here: and1those who have been so unfortu-
nate as to have never attended one of those
mirthful, nonsensical though pleasurable
farces, will be more than pleased to learn that
"a Trip to Chinatown is coming here next
Wednesday evening. This is the most de-
lightful of all Mr.. Hoyt's plays and has been
declared his best work. 1t comes here direct
from its New York run, which it closes next
Saturday night at the Madison Square theatre
On Monday night the Tooth production of the
play in that theatre was celebrated and any
play which can run for more than two years
IN one OF the most prominent theatres in New
York must be wol til going to see. Ofcourse
there is no money for Mr.. Hoyt in coming
here, bat he likes to give his many friends in
this vicinity chance to see his productions
without the expense of a trip to the city.
There are catchy songs, pretty dances and
amusing situations following one another in
close succession, so that you have hardly time
to get the kinks from one laugh out of your
face before you explode again over some new
bit of fun, and when the show is over you will
wish it was going to be repeated SO you can
see ii again. Some idea of the magnetic at

About 60 couples, most of whom were
masked, participated in the annual masque-

Union ball Monday evening. Some very pref
ty and some ridiculous costumes were seen,
and there were the usual surprises when the
time came to unmask. Everyone seemed to
be having good time, and all the enthusiasm
which bad been locked up during Lent was
let loose. At midnight an excellent supper
was served in Towns hotel. after which
dancing was resumed and continued till after

excellent music, which kept nearly all the
dancers on the floor till the last figure.
