Over in Macomb, Illinois, the people
have been treated to social innova-
ton which opens up quite field OF
speculation, SO far as the strictly up-to-
date woman is concerned. The bitter
ness between two rival social leaders IN
that village grew TO such degree that
insinuating remarks, and slaps, both
figuratise and literal. failed of their plr-
pose. ThpH it was thar the more desDer-
ate Of the two thought oil dynamic.

to thus at least make way with a hated
rival, charge was laid under the dorni- |
ellie of the latter and fired with the pre-
cision of an anarchist. The house was
destroyed but tile rival escaped andnow

jealouslv over the unsuccessful fair one
who languishes meanwhile in ia J. What
the outcome is to be no one can predict,
but # dynamite in to be employed regu-
larly IN the futue as the arbit..r of social
di9erences, it will certainly mark ole OF
the most decided advances which the
new woman has made, in emerging sud
de llv from the medieval forms of war
fare where broomsticks and rolling pins
formed the chief weapons both of o9ense
and defense.-Fond dn Lac Reporter
