The suffrage amendment has
carried in this State, by a pro-
nounced majority of the votes
cast on the question. According
to the latest returns received
1909 votes were cast for the
amendment and 2OO5 against it,
giving majority of 1904 in favor
of placing the women of this
State on political equality with
the men. There is, however,
constitutional provision that any
proposed amendment to the con-
stitution must receive the APP
proval of majority of the cleo
tors of the State. The supreme
court will be called upon to de-
eide what constitutes a majority
of the electors. whether it is a
majority of the votes cast on the
question or majority of all the
votes cast at an election.
A. S. Clay has been chosen u.
S. Senator by the Democrats of
Georgia. He is pronounced
silver man.
A Idaho school boy of 10years
recently prepared this compost
ton. Subject-'Winter.
Winter is the coldest season
of the year, because it comes in
winter mostly. In some countries
winter comes in summer and
then it is very pleasant. I wish
winter came in summer in this
country, for then we could go
skating barefooted and we could
SNOWFALL without getting our
fingers cold. 1t SHOWS more in
winter than any other season. A
wickit boy took my skates and
ran off with them and | couldn't
ketch him. Ma says Judgment
will overtake him. Well, if
Judgment does he will halve to
be pretty lively in his legs for
that boy can run bully. Now |
will stop"
Leap-year will soon be thing
of the past, and it will be a long
time before another. Girls, do
not let this golden opportunity
pass.
Thanksgiving ball next Thurs
day night.
Who will be our next U. S.
Senator from Idaho ?
In Hicksville, Ohio, recently,
a wedding party was stormed by
tramps who locked the groom in
the smoke house, ate the wed
ding supper and stole the mar
riage license.
BY a skillfully contrived APP
paratus, at the Ann Arbor col
lege, the professors are enabled
to observe the pulsations of d
mans heart, and watch the play
of the bones while the body is in
motion. The spectacle of live
skeleton, executing a double
shuttle, and keeping step to the
brisk measure of 1.-The Devils
Dream, is something never be-
fore witnessed on earth, though
it is said to be the regular thing
in the other world.
1t is expected that the Challis
Bohemian Dramatic Club will
soon put play on the stage.
