WomRn's Advent In Cornell.

The alumni of Cornell university have
nominated Miss Mary Carey Thomas for
one OF the trustees. This is probably the
first time i'll the history Of any of the
leading universities in this country that
woman has been named for trustee.
Miss Thomas was graduated from Cor
nell i'll 1877, and is now president of
Bryn Mawr College For Women. She
was made dean of that college when it
was opened in 1885, and was elected
president in 1898.
The legislature which has Just ad-
journed passed law allowing the Cor
nell alumni to elect five additional trus-
tees this year Every year after this they
Will elect two trustees instead of one as
heretofore. In recent years there has
been very little contest for this honor
among the alumni, rarely more thnn two
candidates being presented AS soon as
the new law went into OBJECT there was
Il great scramble. In all, 10 candidates
for the five places were named
Tho alumnD of the institution at once
decided that they ought to he represent
cd i'll the board of trustees Correspond
ence was started. and after n confer
tncc of names proposed they settled
upon Miss Thomas as the woman grad
uato of Cornell best fitted by her train
Ing and requirements TO fill tho place
At once q campaign was started. Won
en- graduates in all the large cities i'll
the country wero enlisted i'll the work
Friends Of other candidates sent ont the
customary Endorsements seeking votes
and telling Of the candidates fitness for
the honor. Miss Thomas circular was
one Of tho last to appear. TO tho surprise
of the alumni it contained nearly three
times the number Of Endorsements that
any of the circulars Of the male candi-
dates had.

Frozen bananas arc very nice served
as q sweet course ut luncheon in the
place Of ices or ice cream. Get the best
bananas you can find with tho skins as

Tho Womnn's Translation.

We mention with pleasure that the
weunan's translation, as engineered by
Mrs. Stanton will change the harsh old
word spelled he'll, into h-a-d.e-s,
which will make good rhyme with la .
dies. That is a substantial gain for
women. We expect some change in the
genesis OF woman, corresponding to tho
understanding of little girl who came
home from Danyille Sunday school
not long since and said: "Oh, mamma,
l know how woman was made Miss
Joy told us AL about it today" The
fond mother said Well darling, how
was she made:" The child eagerly re-
piled, why, God hypnotized Adam,
and while he slept God took out all
Adams brains and made woman of
thcm. Had Miss Joy gotten some ad-
vapced shcots from Mrs Stanton's new

The Des Molncs Election.

Women voted in good numbers at the
recent school elections i'll several dis
tricts of Des Muines The News of that
city says:
North Des Moncs women came to
the front III great style. The polling
place was the most interesting of any
such place i'll Dcs Moincs in years. There
was no smoking i'll the room and flags
and bunting decorations made the occu-
sion seem the more patriotic. The vote
was very large one. In 1898 only 4S
votes were cast at tho school election
and only 50 i'll 1894, but Monday the
total was SOB. of which ballots l2l were
placed in the box by women
1t must be borne in mind that the wo,
men could vote only on tho question OF
issuing bonds to build new schoolhouses,
whilo the men voted not only on bonds,
but for school directors.

Women In Bnnks.

There are 60 banks in the United
States where women are employed, and
curiously enough, out of the whole
number all save one are either married
or arc widows. Another curious feature
OF this employment is that no two wom-
Ell are found in any one bank, and no
TWO banks where women hold positions
OF any kind are located in the same city

Shake Them Up.

If everything is straight and the
bank of South Superior failed honor
ably and is turning over to its creditors
all of its assets, and as it claims it can
not pay but 80 cents on a dollar, why
should some private individual be
anxious to pay $4,000 spot cash for the
city's claim against the bank Of S29, 00O?
The fact is this offer of the bank to
settle on that basis and the anxiety of
some individual to give some big money
for worthless claim-worthless above
the purchase price-certainly looks
and smells fshy, to say the least.
Away back SOME twenty five years or
more since, the railroads got to running
things Wild and in their own way over
in Minnesota, when in making a speech
one day, Governor Austin said that
had he the power he would take the
railroads by the throat and shake them
over hell until they learned to respect
the rights Of the people. 1t begins to
look az though the people might dangle
some of our banks and bankers in like
manner. 1t was no longer ago than
"Wednesday that the prominent man of
the city said to the writer that the
banks are getting the people Of the city
and county by the throat and some
thing must soon be done to bring about
a change. We trust Mr.. Chandler and
his committee will find the bottom Of
this matter

\ Prize Winner.

Douglas county is a prize winner for
sure. The car load of agricultural prod
ucts, comprising all kinds Of vegetation
from an onion to the finest Havana to-
bacco, sent down to the State Fair at
Milwaukee tins week, was "the obscrv-
ed of all observers" and took first di-
ploma for the best general display from
any one county, while Mr.. W. +. Pick
ering Of the city, took first premium on
his display of potatoes-two varieties,
lie sent one bushel of one variety, each
potato of which weighed one pound,
and we venture TO say that a finer BUSH
ell of potatoes was ever seen on eXhi-
bition. All countries and soils require
favorable weather and conditions TO
produce its crop, whether it be wheat
or potatoes, grapes or bananas, and
with favorable conditions Douglas coun-
ty soil has no superior. She took the
prize this year because she won it and
not from any mere desire to compli
ment the Northwest county of the state
for attending the fair.

How is This For High.

Certain parties want franchise to
put another telephone line in this city.
The work Of drafting the permit is not
yet concluded, and meeting of those
interested was held Thursday afternoon,
at which time some changes were made,
and among them the city rejects the
right of the company to consolidate
with any other company, and requires
the wires to be put under ground.
These are proper and equitable re-
strictions, but here is something which
needs explaining and rejecting. We
quote from the Leader of Friday morn
ing.
The present rates will he $50 and f@4 re
spcctivcly for business houses and resi-
dcnccs, and the franchise allows the com
pany to in 'reasc its rates in proportion to
the number OF phones placed in this city"
Can it be possible that a committee of
councilmen with the mayor and city
attorney would for moment entertain
such a proposition? The council had
better not grant such a franchise as

atro-Amcrican tantastical farCial and
musical comedy which VIII be presented
at the Grand Opera House Thursday
evening Sept. 26, Is 4 very original en-
tertainment. The story is hut skele-
ton a sort OF frame work to a large num-
Der Of original and unique speciality
features. Each act, practically has
plot of its own. The first act shows
negro in his ORIGINAL savage state in
africa, his territory invaded 10y mis-
sionures. Everything presented in
this act is in the brOadest comedy wien.
The same act shows the same negro in
slavery on the Suwanee River, and the
third act presents them as end of the
century citizens Of Thompson street in
New York City. There is not a hackn
eyed situation in the entire piece.
Every feature Is skctched in the most
hilarious laughter provoking lines. Tie
scenery is as elaborate as it would be
were this a great negro-dramatic pro-
duction. The tropical sets depicting
African and Florida scenes are very
beautiful. John II. Young, the famous
New York artist painted the scenery.
