UTAH'S POLITICAL WOMEN.
Registration Teas Are Held and Not an
Angry Word is Ever Heard.

Utah's political campaign is fairly I'M
der way and offers an interesting study
of practical woman suffrage. 1t had been
supposed that women would not be al
lowed to vote until after the adoption of
the State constitution, which grants the
franchise. BY recent decision in a test
case, however, the enabling act is con-
strued to take effect in advance of State
hood, so far as suffrage and one or two
other phases of Statehood are concerned.
Pending the decision on the appeal of
this case to the supreme court women
have been registered and are taking a
most active part in the primaries. They
are represented on all the committees of
both parties, and the recently appointed
secretary of the Republican Territorial
committee, Mrs. Lille r. Pardee, is be-
lieved to be the first woman that ever

SCHOONER LONG OVERDUE.
The Penokee, From Buffalo to Mil
waukee, Probably Has Gone Down.

Milwaukee, Sept. 22.-The schooner
Penokee, which left Buffalo 81 days ago,
is now two weeks overdue and her
owner, John Martin, thinks she has gone
down with all on board. She was load
ed with coal and there was no insurance
on either cargo or vessel. Nothing is
known here further than that the vessel
is long overdue and no tidings have been
heard of her since she cleared from
Buffalo nearly month ago. She is
owned by John Martin of Cleveland.
The Penokee is an old canal schooner
and carried $50 tons of coal when she
left Buffalo.
This is probably the schooner hit by
a waterspOut in Saginaw bay.
