~ now the idle interest be-
comes general, owing to the
presence at the recent national repub-
lican convention of d. sprinkling OF
women delegates, and to the efforts
made by the women suffragists gath
cred at Chicago to have inserted in the
republican platform a plank tavoring
a constitutional amendment preventing
the disfranchisement of American citi-
zens because of sex.
1t was back in the late '40s the wom-
an-suffrage movement had birth in the
United States. 1t occurred at the time
the question of radical temperance
measures was being agitated Such
men as William Lloyd Garrison, Wen
dell Phillips and Horace Greeley lent
encouragement to the women in their
support of reforms, and also in their
search of Rights and leaders and
followers increased. Then came the
abolitionist crusade, and here women
were given added opportunity to take
part in public affairs. This period may
be spoken of as perhaps the most con-
spicuous in our go years history of
woman's struggle for equality.
In the woman suffrage ranks to-day
few figures, if any at all, stand out as
did those of the first leaders-Miss Su-
san B. Anthony, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone,
Amelia Bloomer, Anna Dickinson. OF
these women, probably the most re-
markable of all was Miss Anthony,
who, now at the age of "a, still con-
tinues thoroughly devoted to the 'sa-
cred cause" Once considered a most
improper person, a radical entertain
ing views that threatened the peace
and morality of the family, Miss An
thany has lived to see herself no
longer misjudged and reviled by the
rabble; very much revered by a large
number, followers of her beliefs and
observers that are able to yield re-
spect to sincerity and earnestness of
purpose AS Douglas Story says of
her: Through it all she has emerged
a serene-faced, white-haired old wom-
an, strong in her principles, justified
in much that once seemed heretical. :
Miss Anthony for over so years has
been the strong business head of the
women's rights people, and has also
labored as politician, orator and re-
former. Mrs Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
who died but recently, was of quite
different type than Miss Anthony in
appearance what is called more pleas
ing, more magnetic as a speaker From
the time of her call for the first wom-
ans congress, in 1848, to her death, in
1902, at the advanced age of IS, she
displayed the greatest zeal in the in
terests of woman's progress. At the
time of her death she was honorary
president of the National American
Woman's Suffrage association.
Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait, who sue
ceeded Miss Anthony as president of
the association, is one of the we'll
known later leaders. Other prominent
woman suffragists of the present are
Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch, n
lawyer residing in Chicago; Mrs.
Sarah Plat Decker, of Denver, presi-
dent of the National Federation of
Women's clubs; Rev. Anna Howard
Shaw, vice president-at-large of the
suffragist association; Charlotte Per-
kins Stetson Gilman, the author. Many
noted women are quoted as advocates

Cyclone Does Much Damage.

A cyclone struck the town of Decora,
seven miles south of Portage. The resi-
dence of Milo Stebbins and barn was
wrecked, and a large granary owned by
Harvey Sines was carried 100 feet from
its foundation. Mrs. Sines and children
were in the building separating milk,
and were carried with it, but escaped in
jury. No trace has been found of the
barn, save few scattered timbers The
storm crossed the Decora mill pond and
moved a large barn on the farm of John
Scott several feet. Near Wyocena the

That popular interest in Arizona cop per propositions is not dead is evidenc- ed by the leaving of an entire carload of local men on Tuesday bent upon in specticn of their holdings in the cu- priferous belt O: the southeastern cor ner of the territory Outsiders, and especially the people of Boston, per haps trifie jealous. have poked more or less fun at the Lake Superior in- yestors for their mad scramble into all sorts of Arizona fiotations Some ot the investments have been unSise, 10 be sure, but the net results will add a hundred million dollars or more 10 the portable wealth Of Houghton county, through holdings in Arizona copper mines, and some day the en- tire world will wake up to the fact, first appreciated by the practical cop per miners If Lake Superior. that Bis bee is another and a greater Butte. The possibilities of the district are scarcely understood as yet, even by the most enthusiastic boomers of the develop ore equal to 250,0O0,O00 pounds develop ere equal to 250'000,00 pounds of refined copper. in a single shaft as the Calumet & Arizona has done within less than five years, it is high time to take the district where such a feat has been accomplished as se- rious factor in the future of the cop Der industry There have been so many fraudulent promotions haillng from Arizona, and so many mistakes in the way of attempting to make big mines without money, and sometimes without ore, that the copper re- sources of Arizona are as yet un- dreamed of by the average eastern lh- vestor. All that has ever been clalmed fer Arizona as 2 copper section IS true and more. but as the biggest lakes among mining ventures cften cluster about the richest mines. investors who go it blind. will stand about the same chance of winning as they would by closing their eyes and trusting 10 luck in any other sort of business or gambling venture.
