Yinton.

Vinton.
Vinton, April 1.-The municipal cleo
ton here, for the first time in the MS
tory of the city, was enlivened by the
women who have exercised for the first
time their right of franchise, but for
the exercise of their right to vote the
election would have been unusually
quiet on account of no opposition to
the reelection of the republican mem
bers of the council In all but one ward.
In the First, j. w. MISSIONER, republi-
can, was reelected without opposition;
in the Second, j. E. Ravenscroft, was
opposed by Frank Wilson, democrat,
but was elected by 10 votes. In the
third ward. A. c. Parsons, republican
had no opposition to reelection and
this was true of N. Carl, republican, in
the Fourth. The vote, however, on
councilmen was lost sight of in the
question Of the two franchises sub
mitted, one for twenty year franchise
to the Farmers Mutual Telephone Co.,,
to which there was absolutely no op-
position and against which there was
but a few scattering votes cast by mis-
take rather than intention. The real
iIVe issue, however, WAS Oh eAe auessioii
of granting the city council authority
to make two mill levy for the perpet-
ual maintenance of free public IL
brary and on which the women exer-
cised their right of franchise. But By
their vote carrying the proposition al
tho there was quite a vote against the
proposition mainly, 1t is thought, an
account of lack of full information
which could not be given for want Of
time, as to just what details would fol-
low the voting of the levy.

KING REFUSES HOLY CUP.
Edward VII. Anxious to Shorten the
Coronation Ceremonies.

/ London, March 31.-King Edward
has had great difficulty in inducing the
archbishop of Canterbury to shorten
and simplify the ritual Of coronation. III
the first place. the king wished the
! ceremony to occupy not more than
Iforty-flve minutes. But Most Rev. DR.
Temple, supported by other ecclesias-
teal authorities, has insisted on retain
ing several ancient customs. SO the
ceremony will take ninety minutes.
| On one point the king is adamantine.
He absolutely refuses to take commun :
ion. This has caused the primate deep
chagrin, as it is likely to provoke un-
favorable comment. because 1T is COM
mon report that the king never has
partaken of the communion according
tC the Anglican rite. The bishops OF
Bath and Durham have insisted upon
their right to support the crown on the
kings head after coronation, an assist
ance the king wanted to dispense with.
After prolonged protest from the
king, the primate has decided that the
king must submit to being anointed on
the breast. also on the forehead and
chin, with holy oils, and is having a
slit made in the coronation robes to
permit this to be done.
AS Queen Alexandra positively re-
fuses to have her face anointed, the
holy oils are being prepared in the form
of solid chrism. like TAX, for the prf-
mate refused to forego that part of the
rite.
Further trouble and delay have been
caused by the queens fancies in re-
gard to the color Of her coronation
robes and the set Of her crown. Thirty
crowns of the Gothic pattern prescribed
by the king were submitted to her, but
she left for Denmark without having
picked one out.
The removal of the valuables from
Marlborough house to Buckingham pal
ace. where the king and queen will go
into residence after Easter, is being
carried out with extraordinary precau-
tions. They will fill sixty large furni-
ture vans. Each van will be sealed be-
fore leaving Marlborough house on its
400-yard journey to the palace and wilt
be accompanied by the master OF the
kings household. Lord Farquhar, in
whose presence the seal will be broken
at the palace and the contents carried
to the royal apartments.
The king has issued peremptory or
der that all officials and servants en-
ployed in royal residences shall be vac
cinated, because a coachman of his
cousin. Prince Edward of SAKE Weimer.
contracted smallpox after refusing to
be vaccinated.
simultaneously, an order was made
that every one employed in or FREE
quenting the house of parliament
should be re-vaccinated, except mem.
bers. who are not subject to expulsion.
This order affects 1900 persons OF all
grades.

GETTING READY.
IFreenan Trihune.l

lETSGIldu lIiDuHS.J
Seldom or never has the farm imple-
ment business been so brisk at this
season of the year as now. Surround
ing towns also report an exceptionally
liberal trade in this line. Good prices
for farm products not only stimulate
the implement business but all other
business as well. All the signs indi-
cate high prices for at least next year..
and in view of our increasing popula-
ton it is doubtful il the low water
mark of five years ago is again reached
in this generation. In soil so produce
tive as ours, so cent corn and 40 cent
oats mean not only the necessaries but
the luxuries of life. 1t means hundred
dollar land-better schools, better
churches--a higher civilization. The
grass lands to a great extent this year
will be covered with corn Fifty bush
els to the acre on land in proper state
of cultivation is only a medium yield.
More than half of this at present prices
would be profit. Meat of all kinds and
dairy products keep pace with grass.
Horses that few years ago We're soon
to go out of use, are eagerly sought
now at long prices. Never in the his
tory of Iowa could farmers pay debts
so easily as today. Experience teaches
inconvenience If not suffering may be
averted by n little foresight In times of
prosperity like the present.

FREES TsILkA FROM GUILT.
Miss Stone Denounces Charge
Preachers COMPLETELY as Cruel.

Miss Stone Denounces Charge Of
Preachers Completely as Cruel.
London, March 51.-Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the American missionary, ar
rived in London Saturday. She said
to- representative of the Associated
Press:
II am very tired, but am glad to be
here. l can not reiterate too often my
thanks to my many friends on the 9TH
er side. | shall be delighted to get
home once more"
Miss Stone listened eagerly to the
reading of copy Of the dispatch de-
failing the interview which a repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press had
with her at Vienna Thursday night.
Yes" she said, that's just what /
said and the way / feel. I can not
say any more than is known about the
causes OF the kidnapping. The idea
that Tsilka had anything to do with
it is Just as absurd and cruel as when
some people limited l had connived at
my own abduction.
yes, Macedonia is a very troubled
state. It is seething. What is going
to happen I can not say. The govern
ment must settle who is to make
amends for our capture.
Turnout my captivity I felt the
hand OF God guiding and protecting
me. Why people are 50 anxious to see
me and hear what have got to say
puzzles me. If had done something
myself could understand; but. was
only an unwilling agent in the Incl
dent, which, hope and pray, will
eventually benefit the work Of the gos-
pei in Bulgaria and Turkey.
Miss Stone is staying at friends
house, where she has so far, success
fully evaded a small army of report
ers who had been securing London in
search Of her. While she talked, Miss
Stone constantly played with her UNI
brella and started nervously at any
noise. The lines in her face show the
anxiety she has gone thru.
Ray Stannard Baker, who brought
Miss Stone from Salonica to London,
said to the representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press:
The interest Miss Stone created was
extraordinary. All thru Turkey and
Servia the crowds waiting at the sta
tons pressed around the car In the
hope OF seeing Miss Stone. Some OF
the newspaper men came in, talked
with her and babe her farewell. Until
we got to Seryia the most stringent
precautions were taken by the officials
to prevent repetition OF the kidnap-
ing.
"One of the most interesting parting
scenes was the baptism OF the Tsilka
baby last Sunday. The ceremony took
place in Mr.. Houses little Bulgarian
chapel at Salonica. Miss Stone be-
came god-mother and the baby was
named the Belgian equivalent for
Ellen.
~ will be long time before Miss
Stone RECEIVERS from the effects OF her
captivity. She scarcely slept until she
reached Ostend yesterday evening and
is still very nervous and slightly lame
as the result of the fall from her horse
while she was in the hands of the
brigands. Since her release Miss
Stones time has been greatly taken
up with letters from all parts of the
world evincing the sympathy and in
terest which her capture created.
During nearly all the journey from Sa-
lonica Miss Stone worked hard in an
effort to answer these correspondents.

GOT GINGER's BONES.


Mr.. o. W. Kinley, the Tribune's for
mer foreman has just acquired possess
sion of an interesting piece of property.
This is the skeleton Of Ginger In his
lifetime Ginger was very far from be-
ling good niger" and he met his
death by an exhibition of his holiness.
He was stabbed as most Of our readers
know in drunken orgy at Carson and
he subsequently died at Red Oak. At
ter his death his body was sold to the
Still College Of Osteopathy in Des
Moines, which institution Mr.. Kinley is
at present attending. Being an old &C.
quaintance of Ginger, Mr.. Kinley con-
cluded he would little rather have his
skeleton that that of a stranger and
after the meat had all been expert
mented off the deceased Senegambian's
bones, he secured the skeleton by the
payment of the customary market price
for such wares. This will be interest
ing intelligence to 'Ginger's" many
friends in Malvern and other points in

A SPEECH THAT COUNTED.

L1SONNIOIU AeSsotNSeSH'I
Some writer last week, defending the
Fourth district congressman's lack OF
oratorical ability. referring to the elo-
eloquence never influenced legislation.
He is badly mistaken about this. On
that memorable day in congress when
the tension on the question of declar-
ing war with Spain, following the
wreck of the Maine. was extreme, and
congress, shocked and stunned, hesitat-
ed, it was Cousins ten-minute speech
which removed all doubt, cleared the
vision and braced UP the weakened.
No short speech in congress ever pro-
duced such immediate, such lasting re-
suits as this one.

LADY EDITOR LECTURES,

WOODSTOCK ReCord.1
Girls, did you ever think of 1t that
| boys have more self respect than the
members of your own sex? There Is
not young man of any degree of re-
sponsibility that would be seen walking
down the street with a drunken girl.
You might search the streets with
fine toothed comb and not find young
man who would lock arms and go
ipromenading with a lady who was puff
fing a cigar or squirting tobacco juice
around on the sidewalk. Girls have no
hesitancy in accepting the company of
the two characters and too many of
them are only too anxious to accept the
|companionship heart and hand OF any
thing that wears pants. Society will
become refined when the girls demand
of boys who wish their company the
same purity of character that the boys
demand of the girls Over the heads
of the young ladies of the land hangs
the possibilities of the greatest moral
reform that ever swept over this coun-
try of ours.

A REMOTE POSSIBILITY.

IOmaha Bee.J
Iowa democrats are talking of run
ming ex-Goyernor Boies for congress-
man against Speaker Henderson. Be-
tween the memory of the only victory
the party has won since the birth Of re-
publicanism, which Boies brought
them, and the ex-governor's backslid-
ings from Bryanite democracy the par
ty is in a quandary. The silverite lead
ers want to win, but they fear that II
one not of their number should be sue
oessful it would be no victory. They
can quiet any such misgivings in this
case, for the chances of any one bear
ing a democratic label representing
that district in congress are decidedly
remote.
