EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO

Eek Governor Alvah Adams of
Colorado in a recent address said of
women suffrage in that state:
"In Colorado we have double
standard in money, but a single
standard in morals. Women suf-
frage is there given not as courtesy,
but as a right. By denying the
right of suffrage to women, a State
deprives her of the weapon by
which she, the home-maker, can
defend her home, and forces her,
in many cases, to accept smaller
wages than men for the same labor.
"In 1876 Colorado gave women
full suffrage IN questions of school
matters. No scandal in school
politics has since been know.
More than three-fourths OF the
school officials and teachers are
now women, and, in fact, the whole
system is practically in the hands
of women.
"Abou; ten years ago equal suf-
frage on all questions was granted
to the women, and their influence
has been marked. Better men are
demanded for Office, and temper
ance and moral legislation are often
the result. The critics OF women
voters come chiefly from the saloon
element and professional politicians,
whose interests are assailed by
them.
Suffrage has not in any degree
lessened the refinement of the
women of Colorado. It has not
caused public disturbances, and has
not resulted in abandoned homes
and neglected children.
Women, like men, show strong
party utilization in State politics.
but IN matters Of municipal interest
they lose ali sight Of selfish
contributions Arguments against
woman suffrage have been advanced
in Colorado as elsewhere, but these
are Of little weight. The country
needs the vote Of good women 10

SPECIAL sEssIoS OF LEGrsLaTURE.
Probability Now Is that Governor
White Will Call Special Session
for Month or October.
From the Grafton Sentinel.

From the Grafton Sentinel.
Major Chas. ID. Elliott OF the
Parkersburg Daily News. who was
in the city day or so ago, is
quoted as saying that Governor
White will in all probability call an
extra session of the State Legis-
lature, to convene sometime during
the month of October, or at such
time as may be selected by His
Excellency. Major Elliott has in
his possession q petition largely
signed, and containing the nan es
of many of the leading citizens of
the State of West Virginia, asking
the Governor to call this special
session, and, aside from this petition
1t is known that a great deal of
influence has been brought to bear
upon Governor White in behalf of
the calling of a special session by
leading men of the State-those
who are deeply interested in the tax
problem that the late session failed
10 even go into, let alone solve.
OF course, if this special session is
called it will be obviously to act
upon the tax question, and as the
outcome of the question when it
was presented at the late session is
so well known throughout the State,
the special session, should it be
called, will be looked forward to
with great degree of interest.
Taxpayers all over the State are
exceedingly anxious that a special
session may be called, and they will
now doubtless await the call of the
Governor with anxiety. We believe
1t has always been Governor
Whites intention to call an extra
session for this year, but he has
patiently awaited to find Just what
public sentiment demanded in the
matter, and once feeling assured
that the desire is for the extra
session he will lose no time in call
ing it.

A COSTLY PIE.
An Incident OF The Lot Sale nc
Newburg.

"A real good joke has crept out on
Bryan Gordon, OF Morgantown,
who engineered the lot sale at New
burg a few days ago, and b. & o.
engineer Frank Menifee, of New
burg, and, although it has been
rather long in telling, it is entirely
too good to keep says the Grafton
Sentinel:
On the day of the lot sale Messrs.
Gordon and Menifee were passing
through the town of Newburg along
about the noon hour, when, in pass
ing by the window of a private
residence, they spied a beautifully
crisp and mellow pie that had been
set on the window sill to cool.
The temptation was more than they
could withstand, and after looking
about carefully to see il they were
unobserved, they swiped the pie
and little later made way with it
in the good, old fashioned manner.
1t tasted good, in fact was as good
as their mothers used to make, and
the two young men naturally felt
very much elated over the streak of
good fortune that had befallen them.
But now comes the housekeeper's
part of the story. Mrs. Yarnell
had prepared an exceedingly good
dinner for company" and this
dinner was in no wise considered
by careful housekeeper as being
complete without the pie, and when
she discovered it missing she i'm
mediately set about to find what
had become of it. Getting a good
clue TO the marauders, the lady sent
for police officers, and in about
two shakes Messrs. Gordon and
Menifee found themselves very
neatly placed under arrest for steal
ing pie. They wanted to "tip"
the officer to let them go, but he
wasn't the clipping" kind, so the
prisoners must perforce appear
before the mayor of the city, who,
upon hearing the evidence in the
case, assessed "the usual fine and
cost" making the pie cost, Messers.
Gordon and Menifee something like
five dollars in all. The only thing
that spoiled this joke was the fact
that the mayor finally RENTED the
fine, acknowledging at. the same
time that it was the best Joke of the
season. He should have collie ted
the amount and had pie social
that vary evening for the benefit of
the two young gentlemen who have
such mania for that production Of
the pastry cooks art.

JOHN WILKES BOOTH
Commits Suicide out In oklahoma.

ST. Lonis, June "A special to
the Globe Democrat from Enid,
Oklahoma. says:
Junius Brutus Booth, the actor
ana nephew OF John Wilkes Booth,
the assassin of President Lincoln,
has fully identified the remains of
the man known as David f. George,
as his uncle, John Wilkes Booth.
George, or Booth, committed
suicide here January I4th last, and
in his effects was found letter
directed to K. l.. Bates, OF Memphis
Tenn. Mr.. Bates came here at
once and fully identified the body
as John Wilkes Booth. He then
went east and has obtained positive
identification OF the remains from
the dead mans nephew and from
Joseph Jefferson, Miss Clara Morris
and score of Others who knew him
in his early days.
According to Mr.. Bates story,
he had acted as Booths confidential
agent and attorney for nearly forty
years. After Lincoln was shot the
assassin escaped to the Garrett
plantation in Virginia. According
to Mr.. Bates, the man who was
killed was named Rudy. Being
warned, Booth left CARROTS and
was taken care of by friends in
Central Kentucky. He later settled
at Glenrose Mills, Texas, where he
conducted store for several years
as John St. Helen.

Civilization is claiming her own,
even in Patagonia. Punta Arenas,
or Sandy Point is a city of five
thousand inhabitants with banks.
shops, hotels and an opera house.
The main industry of the country is
wool-growing, and that, in spite of
the poor transportation facilities and
the lack of market for mutton. is
exceedingly profitable. 1t engages
British capital quite extensively.
1t has never been supposed that
Patagonia would ever be turned into
a garden but it would seem, from
Mr.. Hatcher's account, that in some
of the river valleys, at least, the
chief bar to agricultural success is
is the lack of tillers of the soil.
Concerning the Rio Chico an allu-
vial valley two hundred miles long
with an average breadth of FIVE
miles, Mr.. Hatcher does not hesitate
to say that if such a valley existed
anywhere within the United States
displaying the some or similar con-
ditions, every acre of il would,
within five years be occupied ty

would within period Of ten years.

COWS COSTLY MEAL FATAL
Eats Vest Containing $S5 and Dies
Martyr of Greed

While working on the Cleveland anC
Pittsburg railroad at Macedonia, O..
Contractor Frank Wise hung his yes
on the fence on a lot belonging tc
Frank Green, a prominent farmer. In
the pocket of the vest was a purse
containing $S5.
A wandering COW of depraved appetite
spied it and ate the vest and contents,
but fortunately Wise discovered the
COW in the act, purchased the animal
of Green for $50 and sold her to a local
butcher for $25.
The COW was slaughtered immedi-
ately and search resulted in the re-
covery of the money to the value of
$50, which was yet in such condition
that it could be redeemed.
