When we were boys we used to plan how

stump. In the dark he'd think a spook had
come to get him. Just the other day read
how a miners lamp had been invented that
was entirely safe even In the midst of In
fiammable gases. because its cold shine
came not from combustion. but from lurnin-

may we'll believe the wit Of man will turn
these servitors OF death into lamps to light
the path Of progress. Whether we look
outward to the farthest reaches Of the
universe. or inward to where the micro

mendous forces working, We may hitch

wOMAN's RIGHTS IN FRANCE.
Erroneous Belief That Marriage Con-
tracts Are Common.

Brooklyn Eagle.
The question of woman's rights develops
slowly in France, although women like
Nine: Pognon and Nine. Auclert have de-
voted thier lives to it. France is more
backward in recognizing the rights of wom-
en- than Russia, Norway and Sweden.
The advocates of womens rights some
years ago induced the Chamber to pass a
law giving women the right to appear as
witnesses in certain specified law cases. and
In such social events as marriage, but little
has yet been done to change that most un-
Just OF laws, by which husband has COM

over the dover she brings into the new
household when she is married. This law
Is most unjust, for about two-thirds of the
women keep on working after marriage, the
husband not earning enough to support a

twelfth and fifteenth centuries still exists in
country where, in olden times, a wife was
considered as not much above the cattle and

who have worked for years to open the eyes
or the lawmakers OF the Chamber, are now
making tremendous efforts 10 have a law
passed which will give woman the legal
control of her dover and the money she
earns after marriage. Contrary to what Is
believed abroad. the great majority of mar
riages are made without drawing up con-
tract, and the husband has the sole right to
control what belongs to the so-called "com-
munity," that Is, the family. Out of 10000
marriages In France, 10000 are performed
without a contract, and 1t often happens
that, after marriage, the wife inherits prop
erty or money, and has no legal right to
prevent her husband from spending 1t.

Des Moines, Feb. 9.-In fight last
night between Sam and John Sprague,
brothers, John was so badly injured
that he may die. The trouble occurred
in the house where they live on the
south end Of West Ninth street bridge
over the Coon river.
Mrs. Sprague said that about 1880
o'clock last night, John came home and
went upstairs to his room. In few
he came down and with an
axe he broke in the door Of the room
where she and her husband We're in
bed and threatened to kill them with
a knife. Sam at once jumped out OF
bed and grappled with his brother. In
the MELEE Sam got severe blow just
over his left eye. He finally managed
to grasp a poker and with it dealt
John three stunning blows on the head,
knocking him to the floor and render
ing him unconscious. The man has
three cuts on his head, two of which
are not serious, but the other, which
extends from just beneath his left eye
to his left ear across the temple is re-

is undoubtedly broken. One of the 9TH

on the forehead. The skin was laid open
by all the blows and the man bled pro-

CURED by Roundsman Day at the Des
Moines Union yard office at Eleventh
and the Des Moines Union tracks. He
went there directly from the house af-
ter the fight and told his story to the
employees and soon after the officers
arrived.
When the officers got to the house
they found John Sprague in a heap in
the corner covered with blood and un-
conscious. Mrs. Sprsgue was sitting at
a table screaming and hysterical. The
wounded man was loaded into the pa
troll wagon and taken to the station.
Mrs. Sprague was also taken. together
with Sam Wade, friend of the family
who was on the scene at the time, and
he also called the headquarters and re-
ported the fight.
The Spragues are known to the po-
lice, and have been for years. as being
very hard characters, and have been
under arrest several times on various
charges. Wade ard Sam Sprague are
now on bonds awaiting a hearing be-
fore the grand jury. They were bound

Years ago Mrs. Sprague was a re-
