SPORT ISASSURED
Webster Will Surely
Have a Strong
Ball Team.
OFFICERS CHOSEN.
Best Men in Town Will
Back the National Game
in Grand Style.

Webster, April 24.-Good base ball in
town for the coming season is now as
sured, and tonight all plans were for
INFLATED for the seasons campaign.
That Webster is going to have a first
class ball team to combat with other
strong mines in the vicinity is no idle
talk, The promoters intend to place on
the diamond one of the strongest clubs
in this section.
With that determination in view q
meeting was called and held in Dwyer
hall tonight by the promoters. 1t was
well attended, and full of fire and en-
thusiasm. Various ideas were advanc-
ed and suggestions made that were ca
gerly talked over. The entire situation
was discussed and plans laid for the
summer.
The meeting was called to order at
7,30 o'clock. The business men of the
town were well represented, and incl
dentally a big pile of money. Nearly
all of the members of the association
are heavy tax payers, which means the
representation of a big sum of money.
A president was elected for the as
surer and a board of directors. The
board of directors were voted to engage
a manager in unison with authority to
hire fire and rate salaries of the play
ers.
1t was expected that some local man,
a ball player, would be selected as
manager of the ball team, but from
such information as the Webster cor
respondent of The Spy received today
it seems that the selection has fallen
on an out-of-town man.
The selection is a good one and a
wise one. 1t has fallen on Donald Les
tage, the star catcher of. the Brown
University college team. Lestage play
ed with Webster last year, and a star
he proved behind the bat. He COM
pletely filled the bill, and also proved
a drawing card for the team. If he ac-
cepts the offer he will move here and
remain in town during the summer
months. He is now attending Brown
University.

another topic of Importance in con-
nection with the electoral franchise.
Agitation in this direction developed
during slavery days. The first cOnven-
ton in this interest was held in 1S4S.
The first important victory for the
cause was in 1869, when the territory of
Wyoming adopted women's suffrage
This privilege was continued when
Wyoming became a state. and the eX-
ample has since been followed by Col
orado in 1899, Utah in 1895 and Idaho
in 1896. Washington and Utah had as
territories tried this extension of suf-
frage. but Washington on assuming
statehood did not continue it. In 1898
Washington again by popular vote re-
jected women's suffrage. Kansas also
in 1894. California in 1896 and South Da
kota in 1898 rejected similar amend
ments. The movement for female suf-
frage is, therefore. at the present time
making small Roadway except in school
legislation on which the states are one
by one falling into line in granting suf-
frage to women. At present about
twenty states in addition to the four
with full suffrage have adopted sucn
laws. In November, 1898. Minnesota
amended its constitution so as to allow
women to vote and hold Office in school
and library matters. In a few states
women are allowed to vote also on
questions of local option or license. and
Kansas in 1896 also granted them all
round suffrage in municipal elections.
Agitation for the extension of SUI
frage to women is still vigorously car
ried on. Bills to this end are regularly
introduced in congress and in the sew
eraI state legislatures. but it is not
likely that for the next few years. 1t
least. this privilege will to any great
extent be granted in general elections.

What the Big ella County Mines are
Doing.

The following report of the mining
situation from Globe is taken from the
Globe Silver Belt:
The latest news that we have to give
our readers is that the Old Dominion
Copper company, which was threaten
ed with a suspension of smelling owing
to the failure of the coke supply. has
purchased from the United Globe Mines
their stock of coke, amounting to 49,,
900 tons, which will tide them over I'M
til shipments of coke ordered begin to
arrive The company has experienced
great difficulty in obtaining coke and
the scarcity of cars has also proved a
detriment. With the coke secured
from the United Globe, the Old DOrlin-
ion is relieved of quite a serious prob
lem and will probably be enabled to
continue smelling through the winter
without interruption.
