Schedule of improvements and the
Cost Thereof IN EstiMnted
There is considerable local interest in the
question Of appropriations for the different
state institutions now pending in the state
legislature. The sentiment Of the legisla-
ture seems to be to pare appropriations to
the lowest notch. The different institutions
Of the state have filed their claims for
funds, and the total of the requests amounts
to 81 SOC, 900, and the fund available amounts
to about one-third of that sum.
The Iowa School for the Deaf has asked
the legislature for an appropriation Of Sal, 800
for the coming biennial period, and the
trustees and officers feel that every cent of
that amount Is imperatively needed for the
successful management Of the affairs Of the
institution. Under the management of Su-
perintendent Henry W.. Rothert the affairs
of the school have been conducted in a
most economical manner, and the trustees
have warmly commended him for the splen-
did showing made with the small appropria-
lions made by the legislature in years past.
Now, the members of the board assert,
matters have reached a point where econ
omy is apt to be dangerous If practlced fur
Their. There is an imperative need Of money
for a new boiler and engine room, and a
largo sum Is necessary for the improvement
of the buildings, lighting and heating APP
paratus. The increasing number of pupils
makes increased facilities indispensable.
The following appropriations have been
asked by the board of trustees, after a care
full examination of the needs of the insti-
tuition.

Attempts to Shoot Miss Cromp-
ton, but Finds His Pistols
Useless.
POWDER HAD BEEN REMOVED.
He Procures a Rife, Fires at the
Fleeing Girl, and Then Kills
Himself.

TIBURON, CAL. May 26.-Enos Rebel
ser committed suicide here this morning,
after quarrel with Sarah Crompton, the
daughter of woman at whose home he
lived, at the breakfast table. He was ex-
tremely jealous of the girl because of the
attentions bestowed upon her by young
man who lived with them. Some days ago
he threatened the , lives OF the young
couple. and brother of the girl, fearing
trouble, removed the powder from the
shells of three pistols which Reheiser kept
in his bureau.
After the quarrel this morning Reheiser
procured one OF his pistols and fired twice
at the girl. Knowing the condition of the
shells she laughed at him. Reheiser pro-
cured another pistol and shot twice again
with no effect. Then he rushed into his
bedroom and got rifle. The girl and her
mother jumped through a window and
ran for the neighboring hills.
The crazed lover fired one shot from the
Winchester, barely missing the girl as she
was going over hill. Then he went to
his bedroom, put the muzzle of a shotgun
to his forehead and fired, the charge car
rying away the top of his head.
Reheiser was 81 years old. He had been
foreman of the railway roundhouse here
for ten years and lived with Mrs. Cromp-
ton for the past seven years. His wife
lived near Hilarita. The suicide had been
drinking heavily OF late.

ence taking the place of the missionary in
stitute. This meeting was led by c.. G.
Kitchener, and after ne had laid down a
well-conceived plan for the carrying on of
the presidents work, general discussion
followed on the features which had been of
advantage to the several associations. In
appointing the various committees Mr..
Kitchener advised that the president should
have one or two inexperienced men named
in order to work them in that the presI-
dent should get the personal consent of
each man to serve; that vacancies should
be left on ommittees, and lastly that If a
man would not work some one who would
should be substituted.
Mr.. Beavers class in Bible study was
next on the days programme. Consider
able interest is being manifested in the
department of this class, which deals with
the discussion of methods for getting men
to make stand for Christ.
Sherwood Eddy's talk was on the need of
the Young Mems Christian Association
teaching liberality to missions. He advised
that each college support one of its gradu-
ates in the foreign field, or. if this was
impossible, write to one of the missionary
boards and get from it the name of mis-
sionary they could support abroad. Mr.
Eddy said that it took all the pleasure out
of glass of soda water for him when he
found that missionary could be sup
ported in India for cents day. He
gave suggestions for the raising of money
in the colleges, and closed his remarks
with Mr.. Stearns' motto, "Ask God and
the people; don't ask the people,"
n,,A - a.
which has been attendant upon the con-
ference is that all the periods of class
work, and in fact all the meetings, are be-
gun and ended with prayer.
The students had been expecting great
treat to-day, when DIR. Ollie would speak
to them. The good doctor did not disap-
point his hearers. His theme in the morn
ing was the leadership of educated men.
He said young men represented potential
energy raised to its highest power. Re-
forms and revolutions, said Disraeli, were
the work of young men. When Christ
wished to accomplish any great work he
chose not the Simeons with the setting sun
in their faces. but the Pauls. Educated
young men were to be the conservative as
well as the constructive factors of the
world.
The speaker closed by exhorting the
young to open every avenue of their hearts
to God and let his power come in to make
them leaders for good in this world
The students, together with @. G. Mich
ener and Sherwood Eddy, visited Pole
Mountain, about four miles away, in the
afternoon. When the summit was reache d
Mr.. Eddy gave one of the life.work talks,
showing the needs of the foreign fields in
a manner that impressed all the men.

SANTA ROSA'S CONGRESS
Miss Shaw Addresses a Large
Audience on the Rights
of Women.
Mrs. Fannie MEG. Martin, Attorney.at.
Law, Gives a Professional
Talk.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 26.-The feat
ure of the afternoon session of the Woman
Suffrage Convention to-day was a paper
by Mrs. Fannie MEG. Martin entitled,
"Does the Professional Woman Need the
Bailot?" Mrs. Martin was formerly Su-
perintendent of Schools for Soroma Coun-
ty and is now practicing law here. She
spoke from the standpoint of profess
sional woman. Her paper was largely
argumentative, but logical and keen.
Theology, medicine and law, she said,
were the three principal professions, and
their ranks were now honored by many
women who had to pass the same exami-
nations as the men to get there. These
professional women did not ask for any
easier conditions than those imposed upon
the men, but they did ask for the same
privileges. She paid nice compliment to
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz, the famous
woman lawyer now practicing in New
York. Quoting the law which provides
that women should have an equal right
with the men TO practice law, the speaker
declared it to be ridiculous that they
should have no voice in making the laws
or selecting the judges before whom thew
had to practice. She closed with an APP
peal to parents to encourage their daugh-
tiers to adopt a professional career.
Judging from the great crowds that at
tended the previous meetings the lady
managers concluded that the M E. Church
would no hold all the people who desired
to hear Rev. Anna H. Shaw, and the Athe-
n@um was engaged. Fully 1900 people
were present when the Hon. John Tyler
Campbell of this city introduced the
speaker of the evening. The Introductory
speech was quite brief. and predicted the
ultimate success of the equal suffrage
movement. The speaker, who is noted for
saying graceful things about the ladies,
was evidently sincere in this instance,
when he declared that the women of the
country possessed the larger share of its
intelligence and that it was only a ques-
tion of time when they would take their
places at the bar of civil and political
equality.
Miss Shaw enlisted the sympathy of the
big audience at the outset, and at times
handled her subject without gloves. With
that peculiar grace and power that has
made her famous throughout the country,
she enlightened her hearers and exploded
the pet arguments of the opposers of the
proposed innovation.
These oyerturnings of time-frayed mas
culine objections were received with de-
light and applauded by the 1000 or more
ladies present. and will be used in family
conventions by many Santa Rosa maid
and matron during the coming campaign.
