The most important woman's con-

will be held from May 80 to June 5,
being the annual meeting of the Ma
tional' Woman's Suffrage. The conven-
ton will be attended by about 400
women, every state in the union being
represented, most of the number being
delegates. The list of officers, dele
gates and speakers includes the names
of large number of the most distin-
guished women Of the country. Miss
Susan B. Anthony, who retired last
year from active services as president,
will be present, and, although 81 years
of age, will take an active part in the
proceedings, giving her address of
greeting and making two important re-
ports
Each afternoon there will be work
conferences, in which the problem of
dong effectual work will be discussed
IN very practical way, under the
guidance OF experienced leaders. Groups
OF line addresses will be given in the

can be taken as a measure of their
spirit. The weather was quite against
them, but the meeting has never been
so large and the day has never passed
off with SO much satisfaction to every
one concerned as did the annual meet
ing Of 1901.
The afternoon was given over to
jollity and merry-making. Dancing
was feature of the afternoon, not by
the young people assembled but by
the real pioneers.
The officers elected for the coming
year are: President, John S. Pillsbury,
Minneapolis: first vice president, E. w.
Durant, Saltwater; second vice presi-
dent, William Pitt Murray, St. Paul;

to the grounds, and piled to and from
the Log Cabin during the day.

Northwestern Officials Hire Watchmen
to Guard Their Tracks Against
Invasion by the K. S. R. Co.
THEY MAY FORCE A COMPLETION.
Claimed That the Kenosha Street Railway
Company will Complete Their Line
Under the Cover of Darkness.

There is renewed activity in the
railway fight in Kenosha and it is re-
ported today that the Kenosha Street
Railway company is planning to COM
p1ete its tracks in this city within very
short time. 1t is expected that the
company will spring surprise on the
Northwestern Railway company by
| forcing the tracks across those of the
company now in possession, under the
cover of the night.
The officials of the steam railway
have been advised of these plans and
have planned to prevent any coup
which may be attempted. In order to
guard the tracks from the incursions
of the Kenosha Street Railway COM
pany Mat. Bower has been appointed
a watchman and he is required to
watch all the down town crossings of
| the Northwestern during the entire
night. Bower went to work Friday
night and has orders to continue at
work until further orders. He has
been empowered to stop the workmen
of the Street Railway company If they
shall attempt to cross the tracks of
| the Northwestern.
Just what this renewed activity
means no one is able to say, but it is
stated that watchmen have been hired
to watch everyDcrossing of the North
western and the street railway IN the
city and if the Electric company at
tempts to work any smooth game the
scheme will be baked by these watch
| men.
The Street Railway company has
given no notice that it intended to
! finish the tracks through Kenosha but
it is claimed that the railway officials
have received a quiet tip which re-
suited in theplacing of the watchmen.
Some time ago the Northwestern
officials asked for AZ conference with
the street railway men ia regard to the
crossingsOof the two roads, but the
conference was never held nd it is
now stated that the steam road will
make a fight to prevent the railway
crossing their tracks. Only a few
days remain of the time allowed to
finish the road in' Kenosha and it is
possible that the company is plan
ming to complete the road with grand
rush regardless of injunctions and the
opposition of the Railway company.
The wires for the trolley are ready to
be strung up at a moments notice and
it is stated that the cars which will be
used on the road have been purchased
and are being sent to Kenosha.
