Woman Suffrage.

The woman suffragists are
about to hold a convention, and
some of them, no doubt, will be
vehemently clamorous for the
ballot. Has the time come for the
enfranchisement of women?
Every logical American must
admit, in theory, that taxation
without representation is ty.
ranny, and that as a conse quence
women holding property should
be given the right to vote. But
q theory, however logical, must
frequently compromise with ex-

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN-
-, TON.

Dear ARGUS:-The most sue
cessful and enjoyable Sunday
School Convention ever known
in PlkeYille township was held
last week at Pleasant Grove
church, It was very gratifying
to note the Improvement made
in the last two years. The Sunday
schools are doing q great work
for the social, educational and
spiritual welfare Of the people
of thu county, and an extra eff
fort should be made to secure
the enrolment in the Sunday
school Of every man woman and
child IN the county. Messrs. AL
bert Aycock president, and Alex
A. EigerIon, secretary, were
Doth wisely selected. They are
energetic and faithful officers.
There r ~ seven schools in
The Township all present.
At Hood Swamp on the goth
inst. the Saulston Township con-
venlion was held. This was also
largely attend. The exercises by
the children would have done
credit to the city churches. There
are only four schools in this
township but they are doing fine
work and were all represented at
the convention. Mr.. J,B. Exum
the Efficient president, and Mr.
2. E. Perkins, the faithful sec
rotary and treasurer, were re-
elected. A most enjoyable time
was spent by all at both of these
conventions. We would be glad
to name individuals who were On
the vel. rendered programme,
but lack Of space forbids. It is
hoped that all schools and town.
ships in the county will continue
in the good work.

DOES NOT FOLLOW THE FLAG,
Important Decision BY the Supreme
Court.


Chicago, Friday, May PA speciaI
to the Record-Herald from Washington
ID c., says:
The decision OF the supreme court Of
the United States is that the constitu-
tion does not follow the flag.
This d ,ision. the most imnortant
that great tt .bunal has ever made. will
be handed down next Monday. The
decision Is IN favor Of the government
but by divid + bench. There will he
at least five individual opinions. but
some of these are concurring Opinions
expressing the views of the writer's more
fully and particularly than is done in
the opinion OF the majority.
The court goes back to the period in
which the republic was formed and the
constitution framed and endeayors to
ascertain what was the intent Of the
founders of the nation.
The opinion OF the minority of the
court dlspOses of the uniform taxation
clause Of the constitution which has
been involved by all the appellants in
sthese eases in the following manner:
The trainers of the constitution i'm
writing that clause, had no thought of
Its application to territorial possessions.
No such question as is now presented
had arisen in their minds. The clause
"all duties, impOsts and excuses shall be
uniform throughout the United States"
the court holds, was placed in the con-
stItution as a result of jealOusies of the
states which united in forming the ma
ton. 1t was intended to prevent any
state or combination of states securing
advantage over another or others; to
prevent the ports of one state gaining
preference over those of another in the
importation of goods. This rule of
uniformity was made primarily for the
states, united, the court holds, not for
territories then possessed or aftprward
acquired and the constitutional require
ment is satisfied as long as all duties on
imports are uniformly imposed at all
the ports throughout the United States.
The advantage of this uniformity NAV
be extended to territories and posses
siOns not states and not members of the
American union, but that is for congress
to determine under the authority OF the
constitution.

COMING TO AMERICA.
AguinaIdO will visit Us To Study
Politics.

Washington, May 24-Aguinaldo will
probably come to the United States
early next fall. He has already in
formed General Macarthur of his desire
to visit this country and wants to leave
not later than September Is, when con-
ditions in the islands will permit his un-
conditional release from custody. Re
ports from Macarthur show that Aguin-
aldo is now permitted to have a large
amount OF liberty, but until civil gov
ernment is inaugurated it is not prob
able that he will be allowed to have per-
feet freedom.
AguinaldO's explanation for wanting
to visit the United States is that be
would like to study American institu-
tiOns and the English language, with
view to benefiting his country on his
return He desires to take up the study
Of economic and political questions in
the United States.

OIL NEAR OLYMPIA
Gusher Struck Between That
City and TeninO.
The First Oil Strike Made in the
State of Washington, But
is Encouraging

Olympia, Wash, May 29.-What ex-
perts say is a superior quality of lubri-
eating oil has been struck in this county
and genuine oil boom is well under
way.
The strike was made yesterday at
noon and the news reached this ci5y this
afternoon. The find was made by n
company operating four miles southwest
OF IenlnO, and about u miles south of
Olympia. When it is considered that
this is really the first oil strike made in
this state or the northwest, its import
ance may be appr, ciated.
A company of Alaska capitalists has
had experts at work in this county for
some weeks and last Saturday began
boring for OIL At depth of 1913 feet
oil was found Tuesday and there is now
ID the - inch well not less than 10
barrels of fluid. 1t was not expected to
lind oil at any such depth and no casing
had been provided. Boring was npces-
sarlly stopped until the casing could be
secured.

TRAIN WAS BLOWN UP,
Great Northern Freight Struck
Push Car of Dynamite.


Push Car of Dynamite.
Everett, Wash, May ga special
from SkyOmish, Wash, says:
A frightful accident occurred on the
line OF the Great Northern railway early
this afternoon, which resulted in the de-
mOlitiOn OF an eDgi le, almost half a
train OF loaded merchandise cars and a
large steam shovel. That no one was
instantly killed is regarded as little less
than a miracle
WestbOund freight train No. 3 passed
through the big tunnel shortly after
noon and was speeding along down the
rugged western slopes of the Cascades
and had reached a point about four
miles east of SkykOmish. when suddenly
loaded push car came into view.
Engineer John McGhOurlv, was was in
charge of the forward end of No. 15.
made every possible effort to check his
engine, but the momentum was too
great. When within a few feet of the
then deserted push car he and his fire
man were hOrrtied to see can after can
OF giant powder piled high on top of the
car. 1t was too late to ever think of
Jumping and the two herOicalIy stood
their ground
A second later and the pilot crashed
into the push car. Explosion after ex-
plosion rapidly followed, each succeeding
one being more terrific, if possible, until
finally, when the smoke had cleared, the
awfulness of the havoc created was
realized.
The engine was literally torn to frag-
ments, her boiler raised clear of all
other parts, while her great trucks we're
hurled up the steep mountain side for a
considerable distance The steam shovel,
which stood on a siding nearby, was
torn to spinters and will be fit for moth
ing but scrap.
AbOut rs yards from the scene of the
terrible explosion stood the shack of the
track walker. 1t, also. was utterly de-
mOlished, but, strange to say, the track
walker himself, who was in the shack
was but slightly scratched. Loads of
merchandise of various kinds are scat
tered promiscuOusly in all directions A
hole sufficiently large to bury a loco
motive in was torn in the roadway.
Engineer McGhourly was severely in
iured about the head and otherwise
bruised up as a result Of the cOncuesiOn.
He was put aboard a special train and
taken to a a hospital at Everett. The
fireman was also badly bruised, but not
seriously injured. No one else was hurt.

Fined for Living.

Hundred, W, Va, May PA stranger,
from appearance an oil speculatOr, left
here this morning after paying a fine Of
S. for disturbing the peace OF the com
munity in a novel manner. He was
found apparently dead on the sidewalk
at O'Clock this morning and carried to
the city hall. Coroner Henry Keller
held an inquest. DR.. Frank Kearn and
DR.. E. c. Cole examined the body and
said heart failure was the cause, and the
coroner rendered such a verdict. The
body was given the name of John Doe
by Keller, and it was taken to Slayne's
undertaking rooms. The fellow had
hardly been laid out when he rose and
began to sing ''Praise God, From Whom
All Blessings Flow" Coroner Keller,

WIND STORM IN THE WEST.
Did Much Damage in NeVads
Utah and Other States

UCan anu Otn6r states.
Salt Lake, May 25-The wind storm
which swept over Nevada, Utah, south
ern Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado
Thursday night, and which blew con-
stantly until today, did damage that
will run into the hundreds OF thousands
OF dollars. 1t resulted in almost com
plete prostration of telegraph and tee-
phone service In the states affected. and
for nearl y "a hours during the height of
the storm, the inter-mOuntain region
was practically cut off from the rest of
the world. The storm was severest in
eastern Nevada and Utah, and in the
fertile valleys in the northern part OF
Utah widespread evastation resulted
When the storm was at it's height, last
night, the wind at some points reached
a velocity of so miles an hour.
At Ogden the storm was felt worst.
Here the wind tore roofs from a number
OF buildings, including the Baptist
church, completely demolishing barns
and Outbuildings, and scattered them
far and wide, uprOOted many shade
trees and tore Others to pieces, blew in
plate glass windows in business blocks
and prostrated electric light wires, so
tnaC atter midnight the city was in dark
ness. The damage in Ogden probably
will reach 100000.
At Five Points, Logan, Smithfeld,
Hooper and other places the damage
was very great. Hundreds of fruit trees
we're completely stripped The force OF
the wind was so terrific around Logan
and Hooper that tomato vines were
swept entirely from fields. 1t is esti-
mated that fully half of the crop was
destroyed. Around Hooper the sweep
of the wind blew away the ploughed
ground to the full depth that the plows
had entered the earth, rendering the
land practically useless.
Along the north shore of Great Salt
Lake the wind picked up the dry sand in
great clouds and hurled it across the
country with terrific force, half burying
the railroad tracks for miles.

Paris Exposition Prizes.

The United States received more prizes
at the Paris Expos ion than any other
nation. except France. The total being
1881. 1t is also a remarkable fact, that
though the inhabitants of every country
suffer from digestive troubles. and
though every cline offers some alIevia-
tive therefrom, it remains for America
to produce an absolutely reliable remedy
for such common diseases. This remedy
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Half a
century ago, it was placed upon the
market, and from that day to this. it
has never been equaled. 1t has an al
most unparalleled record for the cure of
dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, sick
headache, sour stomach, belching, heart
burn, nervousness, fatigue, insomnia, or
any other disturbance of the stomach.
