THREE .ANTLERS INTERLOCKED.
A FIambeau Indian Relieved to Have tho

An Indian from the Flambeau reservation
in northern Wisconsin recently came into
the fishing resort Of Squaw Lake with
curiosity in the way of deer horns he wished
to sell. Failing to make sale he took the
horns back to the reservation and has not
been seen by white men since then.
His treasure was three sets of antlers in
e,plicably interlocked, and they were worth
considerable money to horn collectors. Two
sets Of antlers 40 locked are rare, but not I'M
known. 1t is believed that the Flambeau
Chpnewa has the only set OF three locked
antters in the world:

in one way. Two bucks Of equal strength
were fighting in the forest and became
locked. Then, while they were still strug-

Moman's Suffrage.

Mrs. c. Il. Colby, of Washington, d.
c., and Mrs Olympia Brown, represt-
ing the National American Woman
Suffrage Association, held meetings in
the Wauwatosa, NJ L church, May II
and L..
They laid before their hearers with
great ability and ealnestness the cause
of 'Woman's Suffrage"
The plan which they presented and
for which every state of the Union is to
be canvassed before the elections, is to
secure the names OF ten thousand wo-
men who are property holders. After
the nominations have been made in the
primaries by the two influential politi-
cal parties, the Republican and Demo-
cratic, the Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton will pledge its influence and the
support of ten thousand women irres-
pective of party, to the best man in
moral character and whose sympathies
are with Woman's Suffrage
The American women desire the
right of franchise for two reasons,
moral and financial:
First-They are weary of the miseries
brought on their homes by the licensed
liquor traffic.
Second-They also feel that to have
their property taxed without represen-
tation is tyranny. NJ. S., Sec'y.
