Views OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Dillon Also Utters a Warning.

Dillon impressed upon the govern
ment that the amendments drafted by
the national convention were the mini
mum of the Irish popular demand. The
attorney general for Ireland, Jonn At
kinson, said the government had no
reason to be dissatisfied with the de-
bate, and that it was prepared to give
fair and candid consideration to all the
amendments. The debate was then
adjourned.

The Vote for EVoraens

The woman suffrage bill was killed
is to 12-in the senate and SO does
not get to the assembly. Senator
O'Neil, the witty Irishman from Bay
field, has for some years urged this
measure, though it must be said he
always takes defeat cheerfully. Mr..
McDonough of Eau Clair, who has
not done much talking this season,
pitched into the bill with the old argu-
ment that the lady would vote as
hubby did," and that she should not
be dragged IN the mire of politics.
Talk Of this sort shows that the cam
paign of education has only reached
those who read the arguments; that
by printed and spoken word many
have yet to learn that the old jokes
on this topic are exploded. Bachelors
Burns and Hagemeister voted against
the bill, though Burns comes from the
heart district of the movement. Hat
ten, who is also unmarried and very
good looking, voted for the bill. White
head and Monson were for it.
It is pretty certain that adjournment
will come Saturday, May 16, which,
allowing for the three days in which
the governor may consider bills, will
send the members home the preceding
Tuesday. The senate committees had
but 100 bills in the tin boxes on Fri
day last.

The landlords and tenants were in
complete agreement on almost all the
essential points, The Irish party had
returned to Westminster with q man
date from the people upon this bill,
and fortified by a vote of confidence.
Calls 1t a Golden Opportunity.
If Wyndham refused the reasonable
amendments sanctioned by both the
landlords and tenants the Irish party
washed their hands of all responsible
ty. If the bill was rejected the Irish
people would be driven back into the
''old hell of warning passions and con-
hicting hopes" With all his heart he
prayed that such state of things
would not arise. 1t would be little
short of tragic were the government
to throw away the golden opportuni-
ty, which once lost might not return
for q life time.
Views Of mpbell-Bannermann,
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the
Liberal leader, said the terms of the
bill should be closely investigated in
committee; they were not satisfactory
as set forth in the bill. Russell Glib

reading, although he disliked some Of

FELL TO HIS DEATH.
A. J. Wise, Formerly of Weston Meets
With Fatal Accident.

Andrew J.. Wise, coast pioneer of
1849 and an old-time resident OF the
Weston neighborhood, was fatally in
jured in an accident at his home near
Perrydale, Polk county.
1t appears that Mr.. Wise had gone to
the barn to feed and water his horse and
climbed into the hay NOV. In some
manner he fell through to the floor, and
injured his spinal cord, causing paral-
ysis of the brain. When picked up he
was only able to speak few words, and
upon being carried to the house, sank
into deep sleep from which he never
woke to consciousness.
Mr.. Wise was native OF New York
state, about 72 years old, and came to
California in the golden days of 40.
He crossed the plains several times be-
fore the advent of the railroad and To-
Gated in Oregon, near Perrydale, in
1875. Three years later he moved to
this county, settling north of Weston,
and returned to Perrydale in 1886.

NO SICK
BENEFITS
Position as Taken BY Grand
Chancellor Maloney.

The Grand Lodge Of Knights of Pyth-
las has been in session in Portland this
week. Several departures from the old
regime have been advocated In reports
of the officers OF the grand lodge, prin-
cipal among which is the proposal to do
away with sick benefits and to elect the
Vice Grand Chancellor and Grand
Chancellor by popular vote of delegates
attending the grand lodge. Heretofore
all grand lodge officers have advanced
from grand outer guard, passing the
chairs" up to grand chancellor.
Regarding opposition to sick benefits
J. w. Maloney, grand chancellor, in an
interview with Portland paper is quot
ed:
"We have had good year." said Mr..
Maloney, who arrived from Pendleton
Sunday. "There has been steady in
crease in membership, 258 being the net
increase. The order now represents
about 5000 members in this jurisdiction.
"In my annual report shall recon-
mend that there be no undue haste in
the future in securing additions to the
membership, but that quality rather
than numbers be the determining point
when applications come in to the lodges.
It shall be the desire to approximate the
teachings of the order, and to elevate
the level of membership to that aimed at
in the ritual.
81 believe much IN the holding of dis
trict conventions, and shall recommend
the creation of district convention fund
by levying an extra per capita tax of 20
cents member, that amount to be re-
paid to the district paying it, il 1t hold a
district convention.
~ shall tell the grand lodge that l
believe the sick benefit provision, that
appears in the bylaws Of most of the
subordinate lodges is the cause of much
dissatisfaction, disruption and cohten-
ten, more so than any other thing that
is now in force. Some lodges have al
ready taken steps to abolish this sick
benefit, and believe the movement is
based upon sound policy that viii pro.
duce good results"

BUILD A
PARSONAGE
Christian Church Will Ex-
pend $500 at Once.

The Christian church people will i'm
prove their property in this city by
erecting parsonage that will cost,
when completed, about $500. The
matter of building the parsonage was
taken up recently and the decision to
build was announced Sunday at the
morning service. The contract will be
let at once and the new home for the
pastor and family will be finished as
soon as possible. Material will likely
be on the ground next week.
The parsonage will be located on the
lot west of the church. 1t will be a
handsome residence and the location IS
a most desirable one. Suitable houses
for rent cannot be obtained in Athena,
and this more than anything hastened
the decision to build at once. For the
present, Rev. Jenkins and family have
apartments in Mrs. Mcintyre residence
on the West Side.
