woman Suffrage frage. 1t appears
that the adult suf-
- aus '' frage bill' has.
passed both houses of the federal par
Lament, and is now a law. This means,
according to the Pittsburg Post, that
every adult woman in the six provinces
of Australia now has vote for the
federal parliament, which carries with
it right to sit in the parliament if
elected. This is believed to be the first
time that whole nation has enfran-
chised all its women. 1t is further the
hope and belief of woman suffragists
there that now the federal franchise
is gained, the three states which have
not granted it in their state elections
must soon follow, and that the end of
the present year will see all the women
of Australia voters for both state and
federal parliaments. Australia is
great place for trying things, and this
experiment of broad suffrage will have
the eyes of the world uponit.

prying bricks from the wall with the

gaping crowd, stopped, probably by the
sight of the rope strung from each
workman's waist to point on the
fire escapes of the adjacent building,

A Boston newspaper advises city
people who go to the country this
AnAbsurdProp- summer not to
consider th M
selves above the
country people among who he goes.
The visits of this writer to the coun-
try must have been few and brief. n
city man who goes into the country
has to think himself better than the
countrymen he meets, in order to
preserve his self-respect. What is
city man to do, after he has mis-
taken wooly lamb for calf, an
nonnced his opinion that a sickly
looking cabbage plant is fine po-
tato vine, and incurred the contempt
of the hired man by unhitching the
wrong end of the trace in an effort
to be jaunty and helpful; what is he
to do, if he does not sonsider him
self superior to the country people?
He must so consider himself, unless
he wants to admit to himself that he
is an idiot.

An impressive scene took place in q
Roman Catholic church in Hazleton,
Pa, one morning during the coal
strike. The priest preached an elo-
quent sermon on moderation to q
large congregation of strikers. When
he had finished he called upon all
the men who We're present to rise
and take the oath of total abstinence,
to be kept SO long as the strike
should last. With almost no hesi-
tation every man in the congrega-
ton took the oath, and afterward
signed the pledge. 1t was bit of
genuine public service on the part
of the priest which ought not to be
forgotten, and a service no less inn
portant to the men themselves, who
evidently SO accepted 1t.

Miss Helen Chaplin Entertains.

One Of the social successes Of the
season was the party given by Miss
Helen Chaplin in honor of her friends
the Misses Price and Clifford OF Canon
Falls, Minn., and Miss Ada Lawson of
Chester. The hall was tastefully dec
grated with flowers and smilax. The
music for the occasion was furnished
by Carpenters Harp Orchestra, and
was we'll rendered as usual.
Miss Chaplin was assisted in receiv-
ing by the Misses Webster, Tillson,
River, Nichols, Pecinovsky, Hamilton
and Fish and Masters Johnson, Caward
White, Nichols, Richards, Thayer and
Dumandan, who very gracefully re-
ceived the guests at the door and con-
Quoted them to their hostess and her
friends who stood waiting to meet
them. The dainty refreshments were
also served by them.
About $50 guests were in attendance,
The elegant costumes worn by the la
dies added beauty to the otherwise
brilliant scene. After several hours
spent in the facinating pastime,
dancing, the guests departed feeling
themselves indebted to their charming
hostess for very enjoyable evening.

Death Of Levi Bulls.

Its with sadness, indeed, that the
Journal is called to chronicle thi,
week the sudden death Of Attorney
Levi Bulls, who passed away at his
home on West Main street Monday
morning, July 21st at 8 O'Clock, from
stroke Of paralysis, which came up
on him last Saturday morning at
seven O'Clock, as he was getting up
from bed. He remained conscious for
about three hours, and then passed
into an unconscious state from which
he never rallied.
His death has come 50 sudden and
entirely unlocked for thatit is as a
| flash OF lightning from clear sky.
He was in usual health, which was
remarkably good for one OF his ad-
vanced years, aud was attending to
business at his law Office as usual
Friday, and retired to rest that night
with no thought by himself or family
or friends that his long and vigorous
life was at a close.
Levi Bulls was born April 5, 1928,
at Schuyler Falls, New York, so that
at the time of his death he was "A
years, months and 1o days old. He
came to Winnesheik county in May
1854, since which time his whole life
has been spent here in the practice of
his profession. October "a, 1865, he
was married at Whitehall, N. Y, TO
Miss Amy Dibbls, who with five
children OF the seven born to them,
survive. The surviving children are:
Mrs. D. A. Noyes, of Chicago; Mrs. q.
J. Weiser, of this city; Misses Clela
and Ruth, living at home, and one
SOD, Levi, who for several months has
been assistant cashier In bank at
Kenmare, N. D. Mrs. Noyes ar.
rived from Chicago Sunday morning
and Levi, or "Boy" IS he has long
been familiary called by the family
and acquaintance, came Monday
afternoon.

nal and many friends extend heart
