THOSE WISE, WISE WOMEN.
One OF the Sutfragists Who Didn't Know
Who was Secretary of State.


Washington, Feb. 15.-Delegates
to the wOmen's suffrage convention
say this has been the most successful
convention that has been held since
the movement for the emancipation
OF women was started. The hall
was crowded at every session and the
delegates interested. Recently the
audience was impressed by the earn
estness OF a woman who dwelt upon
the shortcomings Of a political sys-
tenn which withheld the ballot from
women and placed it in the hands of
foreigners, ignorant OF American
institutions. She concluded amid
applause aud took n seat near where
several newspaper men were sitting.
When she had recovered from the sx-
citement into which she Iftid worked
herself over the injustice of the con.
stitution and the Ignorance of the
foreigners, she turned to another
delegate.
"Who is secretary of state?" she
inquired.
The woman then addressed did not
know, but a woman sitting behind
her did, and obligingly informed her
that John Hay was the name of the
man who presided over the state de-
partment,
"Ah, you must be mistaken" re-
piled the woman orator 1T cannot
be Mr.. Hay, for he is member of the
cabinet. =

A BATTLE IN BARCELONA.
Report BY Way of London That 500
We're Killed and Wounded.

we're KILLED and Wounded.
London. Feb. 2O.-A message ia
the Exchange Telegraph company
from Barcelona says a fierce battle
has been fought between the troops
and the rioters in a suburb of BARGE
Iona called Sano. Before the engage.
ment the cavalry and infantry had
been posted in the most dangerous
points and a field battery had been
stationed on the plaza from which
vantage point the guns could sweep
the surrounding streets. When the
final clash with the troops occurred
the artillery was brought into action
and swept street after street. The
rioters engaged the batteries at close
range but were finally driven off. 1t
is reported that FIVE hundred persons.
were killed and wounded on both
sides. The entire neighborhood was
wrecked by the shells. The ruins
caught fire and this completed the
destruction.
Fighting is reported at Mataro.
fifteen miles from Barcelona. where
firearms have been discovered. Fight
ing is also reported at Tortosa and
Iarragona, respectively $50 miles
southwest of Barcelona.
There is probably no disease or
condition OF the human system that
causes more suffering and distress
than piles. Tahler's Ruckeyc Pile

CHANGERS AND RAKcHMEN.
Trouble Brewing Between Chauneey Dew
ey's 0Ien, Of the Oak Ranch, and
NeighbOring Farmers

A clash between employees OF the Oak
ranch, in Rawlins county, and farmers
whose land borders on the range Of the
ranch was narrowly averted Monday.
The Oak ranch Is owned b c. P. Dew
ey, a wealthy Chicago capitalist, and is
managed by his son, Chauncey Dewey.
A little village and a pOstoffce, Pentheka,
has been established at the ranch, which
is connected by telephone with Atwood
and the Weston ranch. 10 miles west
and part Of the Oak ranch. Farmers
adjacent to the ranch have been crowded
for range for their own stock and some
strong feeling has grown against the
Deweys.
Last week cattle belonging to the Oak
ranch got on the wheat field of a man
named Berry, who ordered the ranch EN-
plOyes TO drive them of. They refused
and told him to shut the cattle up II he
did not ikeit. Berry knew that would be
fruitless as the rich cattle company IN
variably beat the farmers In the courts
in such cases. The COW boys had guns
- A----g anu lis SUI W EA4L ~ AnEAA LD4cE
and came back with their Winchesters
and made the COW boys drive the cattle
away. Berry and his son were arrested
for breach Of the peace, and upon being
tried before a justice at Pentheka were
sentenced to go days in Jail. This en-
ragged the other farmers and about 100 of
them gathered at the West end ranch
Monday to demand of Chauncey Dewey
that he secure the release Of Berry and
his son Dewey was communicated with
by telephone but he refused to come over
and talk with the farmers Some were
in favor or violence but the more couser-
vative prevailed and a committee was
appointed TO treat With Mr. Dewey.
Trouble is expected if Berry and his
son are not released.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER.
The New York Board Of Health seized a
Mixture which Contained Alum and
Rock-Declare 1t Dangerous

The New York papers report that the
health department Of that city has seized
as dangerous to health nearly two tons Of
cheap mixtures sold for baking powder,
and dumped them into the OffaI scow to
be destroyed. More Of the powder was
found in a Sixth avenue department
store. The report Of the analysis Of the
health department stated thatit was ian
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
/ The different health authorities seem
to have different ways Of depressing the
sale of bad baking powders. In England
/ they have prosecuted the grOcers under
the general law and broken up the traf-
I &c. In Missouri the sale OF alum baking
powder is actually prohibited by law. In
New York they seize the unwhOlesome
stuff and cast it into the river, without
any discussion. The latter way is Ger
tainly effective.
The alum baking powders are usually
offered at a low price, ten to twenty
cents 9 pound, OF with some prize, as a
I temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves By
buying only high grade baking powder
of established name and reputation. Do
not be tempted by the grocer 70 take
something else as Just as good" or @our
own brand, for the trials show that the
grocer himself Is often deceived BY IN
scrupuIous makers and isselIing an alum
powder without knowing IT.
/ There are several good powders on the
market; let the housekeeper insist on
having what she knows IS right. and not
be induced to risk the life OF the family
lfor an imaginary saving Of few eents
