With the Exception Of Sheriff
Which McGauyran Holds
Another Two Years

Last Tuesday brought with it
the election which has been upper
most in the minds of the people
for many months past and III every
state in the Union the turn out of
voters shows the efforts put forth
by the forces on each side in the
big conflict. All over this state
the weather was anything but
pleasant and accordingly cut off a
large percentage of the out of
town vote and naturally has greatly
reduced the vote Of the fusion state
ticket. Returns from different
counties over the state are at
this date by no means complete and
the naming Of the victorious state
ticket is yet to be done. The
prediction of the republicans
that the state is for
Mckinley will not necessarily give
them the state ticket. It will take
overwhelming odds for the repub-
licnns to find votes enough to elect
their men against G. I. Templeton,
for the supreme court, II. d. AL ert,
for state treasurer and Mrs. Laura
j. Eisenhuth for superintendent
Of schools.

contest the supporters Of each
nominee did lots of hard work all
day Tuesday and as a result Cava-
lier county's vote Oh the judiciary
is pretty evenly divided and the
returns received up to to-day,
Thursday; give Young about 1853
votes, Sauter $50 votes and Spen-
Ger $50 votes. From dispatches
received from Walsh and Pembi-
na counties it is claimed that
Judge Sauter comes under the
wire first with Spencer close
second. The reason assigned for
giving Mr.. Young third place is
that Spencer divided the indepen-
dent vote Of Young's home county
Pembina, while in Cavalier, the
vote polled for Young is at least
$50 less than his supporters here
had hoped to poll. OF course, full
Ter reports from both Pembina and
Walsh counties may affect the po-
sition of the trio judicial aspirants.
The returns from all the nine
teen precincts in this county were
i'll by al early hour today, Thurs
day. They only make official the
earlier report of the. election of
the entire democratic county tick
ct with the exception of sheriff.

Boyd and Butterwick lead their
opponents by about 225 and $50

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL


9Oo Broadway, April II. (
Mrs. Pipen berg, who resides at 1859
Seventh street, met with remarkable ac.
cident yesterday evening, and, being an
old lady, the result may be serious.
Mrs. Pipenberg was attending to some
thing at the back of the house, and had
occasion to walk under the large tank that
is supplied by a windmill. For a long
time the neighbors have been suspicious
of the stability of the bracing of the tank.
which is now rather old, but Mrs. Pipen-
berg had ample confidence in it, and re-
jected any advice about having it strength
ened. When she went under it Yesterday
there was stiff breeze blowing, and Mrs.
PIpenberg paid no attention to good
sized leak, the water from which was being
blown long distance.
Mrs. Pipenberg chanced to look up an d
just as she did so the whole of the bottom
fell out of the tank and she was Instantly
deluged with 5000 gallons of clear cold
water. In addition to the fright and th e
sudden baptism from above Mrs Pipen-
berg was struck by some pieces of lum ber
and badly hurt. She was taken to DR..
Huntin tons surgery and attended to and
being somewhat advanced in wears the
shock and the injuries are somewhat
critical.
An examination of the tank showed that
it had worked to and fro, owing to the
braces being slack, until the slaves had
become loosened from the bottom. An
extra sway released the bottom and Mrs.
Pipenberg received the contents.

Miss Susan b. Anthony on the Cause for
Which She Labors.


The announcement that Miss Susan B.
Anthony would give an address at the
Second Unitarian Church drew a large
audience to the place of worship on Capp
and Twentieth streets last evening.
Rev. A. ]. Wells came out strongly for
suffrage for women, directing some minis
terial sarcasm at the Apostle Paul.
whose dead hand had overshadowed the
ages" He concluded by introducing Miss
Anthony.
That lady said her theme was 1.-THE
Moral Influence of the Ballot" but she
proposed to devote some time to the power
lessness OF woman without the ballot. In
that connection she described her early
struggles for recognition in deliberatiye e
bodies composed OF men, early in the 40's
in New York
Following this line of re eminiscence she
spoke of similar efforts on the part of Rev.
Antoinette Brown and Mrs Amelia
Bloomer. 1t was when a young "trip of a
lawyer from the rural districts" spoke in
terms OF derision OF a petition by women
and, alter the offending document had
fallen to the floor, hit it a kick" that she
resolved to work for the time when a.
womau's name and a woman's opinion
would have as much weight as a mans.
She argued tnat no one need fear the
vote OF bad women, considering that there
is but one woman to thirty men in the
prisons and purlieus of cities. She
claimed further that bad women as well
as bad men had high ideals and would
vote for candidates better than them
selves.
She urged the voters present to work for
the insertion of a suffrage plank in their
party platform, else, she said, sno plank
in the party platform will mean silence by
press and politicians and death to the
amendment"
