PRINCIPALLY FOR WOMEN.

Mere curiosity to see how women
conduct large meeting will doubtless
attract many persons to the conven-
ton of the National American Woman
Suffrage association in Minneapolis,
which opens May 3Oth and continues a
week. The convention is to be held
in the First Baptist church. Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, who is the new
president of the association, having
succeeded Susan B. Anthony year ago
last winter, will occupy the chair at
all the sessions probably. Mrs. Gait
is an able presiding officer, as is also
the vice president of the association,
the Rev. Anna 81. Shaw.
The list of speakers is a long one,
but it is the custom of the suffragists
to bring on many speakers and to have
short speeches. Miss Laura Clay of
Kentucky, first auditor of the national
association, Miss Frances Griffin of
Alabama and Mrs. Hala Hammond
Butt of Mississippi are the southern
speakers. Illinois will be represented
on the program by three women of I'M
usual talents Rev. Celia Parker
Woolley, Mrs. Elizabeth Boynton Har-
bert and Dr. Julia Holmes Smith. Mr..
Louis f. Post, the we'll known single
tax advocate, will also give an address,
Rev. Alice Ball Loomis and Rev.
Olympia Brown are the Wisconsin
speakers, and Colorado will send Ellis
Merideth and Mrs Mary G. G. Brad
ford. Miss Elizabeth U. Yates, of
Maine, Miss Laura Gregg of Nebraska
and Miss Laughlin of New York are
three young women who will attract
much attention. The most important
addresses, of course, will be those of
Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Ann r.
Shaw and Mrs. Chapman Gait.
There is general feeling of disap-
pointment at the failure to arrange the
debate between Miss Shaw, for the
suffragists, and prominent opponent
of equal rights for women. The chair
man of the program committee invited
all the prominent opponents of women
suffrage in the country, beginning
with the Rev. Lyman Abbott, him
self, to debate this question with Miss
Shaw on the first night of the conven-
ton. One after another they declined
and the debate had to be given up.
The meeting promises to be one of
the most largely attended of any ever
held, and it goes without saying that
the cause of suffrage from the stand
point of enthusiastic women will be
the all-absorbing topic during the ses-
sion. Minneapolis may be depended
upon to give the women the glad
hand and make their stay pleasant.

An Iti1era1t Infant.

Going down the road in North Caro-
lima, I accosted a bright looking little
colored girl and inquired her name.
"Virginia Alabama Mississippi
Benson, she said so hurridly that |
had to ask her to repeat it several
times. and l failed to discover how
so insignificant an atom in this great
universe had received such a tremen-
dous title. Learning that she lived in
a little cabin near by, 1 inquired of
her mother.
''So's to member tn places we've
lived at, was the reply, and further
questioning drew out the interesting
fact that the child had been..made a
family record and christened so that
her parents might not forget the names
of the states in which they had resid-
ed. Chicago Record-Herald.

Col. Neff of the Lake Crystal Union
says he has had one eye on the girls of
Madelia for some time, but lays his
failure to make an impression onto
Col. Estes of the Messenger. Is it pos
sible that Bro. Estes is making GOO
goo eyes at the pretty girls of his little
city? It is all right for Col Neff to
wink at the Madelia girls from dis
lance, but no good excuse can be-made
for Bro. Estes He is altogether too
young to goo-goo his eyes at pretty
maidens.

1t is claimed that Mrs. Potter Pal
mer has been asked to take the posi-
tion of volunteer inspector of streets
and alleys in her precinct in the city
of Chicago. While she has not re-
turned definite answer, it is believed
that she will accept. 1t will be her
duty to make frequent trips through
the streets and alleys of her precinct,
investigate the garbage boxes, see that
every house is provided with metallic
cans for ashes and waste, and urge in
general the enforcement of the NUM-
cipal cleanliness ordinance. If Mrs.
Palmer accepts the place she will no
doubt make the atmosphere in the
Twenty first ward more wholesome.

A farmer living just west of the vii
lage, whose wife died couple of years
ago, sent to Sweden recently for an
other wife and has been expecting her
daily for several days. 1t appears that
after his first wife died, he sent home
to the old country for her sister and
when she came here he married her.
About two years ago she died and now
he has sent for the third sister. He
never saw the third sister but he seems
to be so satisfied with the ones he has
had that he believes he can get along
with any one of the same family. =

Albert Deebalt's farm team, while
standing in front of the Clifton House

piece of paper and ran away. At the

when picked up and had to be carried
into the clothing store. DR.. J. A.
Hielscher was summoned and found
that Mr.. Heinzman was suffering
from a number of bruises on his legs,

garden were some beautiful trees. One
Of these trees, branching over the
road, threatened daily injury to the
driver Of the local bus. Therefore he
and his conductor waged destructive
war on all the vulnerable twigs within
reach from the bus roof. Result: A
vigorous letter Of complaint from Mr..
Kipling to the bus owner, who Is also
landlord Of one Of the local inns.
That evening the landlord laid the
letter before the select company Of the
bar parlor. They advised an attitude
of calm Indifference. Also Crnsus
among them offered $3.50 in cash for
the autograph letter. Both advice and
cash were accepted.

second letter also found a buyer, this

A remarkable attempt was medo In
Denmark recently to bring back 10 life
q man who had died In hospital The
experiment was measurably successful,
as resuscitation was effected several
hours after the man was pronounced
dead DIR. Mag. who was In charge,
was unable to maintain life, however
The patient had died from typhoid
fever. and DR.. Mag decided to try an
experiment. Respiration had ceased
completely and the body was cold. d.
rect massage OF the heart was resorted
to. The chest was cut open directly
over the heart. and through the in
cision the physician passed his hand
and seized the heart. He commenced
a series Of compressions, and In a short
time the heart commenced to work OF
its own accord. The action of the
heart gradually became stronger, but
the man had not commenced to
breathe. Only a, :er the heart had
been acting half an hour did the first
gasp for air come.
The patient was then assisted In
this for about an hour until finally he
was able to breathe quite freely. At
the same time his cheeks began to as
sumo a natural color. He lay In this
condition another half hour, but with
out regaining consciousness or appear
ing to feel the effects Of the incision.
Then there was a reaction and respi-
ration ceased. although the heart con-
tinued to act eight hours longer. A
second effort was made to induce heart
action, but without result.
