A few days later drunken mob of

the fight from opening at that time. He

natives and over his own men, and he
induced them to retire.

The Salt Lake Telegram advocates
the election of woman Senator to
succeed Senator Rawlins, when his
term at Washington closes next year.
1t argues as follows:
1--WE Utahians believe in the right
of women to vote and hold office. Why
should they not be recognized and
given a representative in the United
States Senate? There is no constitu-
tlonal inhibition In the way. There is

sex are without representation in the

ators. Why not take the new depart

ETIQUETTE OF MARRIAGE.

CO HE majority of women, says an

that control first weddings that most

widow that will interest the sex.

the same for maids and widows. Al one
