Last year at the annual convention 200
women were in attendance"
Miss Sadie American of New York,
speaker of forcible eloquence, told of the
work of the National Council of Jewish
Women. I'm 1895 we made our first bow
to the public with three sections and 1.300
women. Today we have ninety-one sec
tions, with 1900 women. Religion in its
broadest sense is the base Of our work.
The Jewish women have sought to estab-
lish themselves more firmly in their convic-
lions in a day of lessening convictions by
a study of their religion.
Greetings were extended from the Ex-
celsior Literary Society of Washington
through Mrs. Emma A. Halse.
Peace and Arbitration Theme.
The peace and Arbitration" people in
the council do not find smooth sailing by
any means. Mrs. Flo Jamison Miller OF
Illinois. past national president Of the
Woman's Relief Corps. speaker Of more
than usual brilliance, as evidenced several
times in wordy combats in the council this
week, Jumped on the peace at any
price, suggestions made in the council, as
reported in The Star yesterday, and de-
clared that questions of national principles
and policies had seldom been settled salts
factorily or permanently until settled by
the perhaps cruel but at the same time
effective arbitrament OF war in the actual
clash Of arms. Mrs. Miller declares that

the council denounces polygamy, and that
these two members of the council may draw
out IL they choose. The council, She said, is
not trying TO rid itself of anybody.
Mrs Manchester said she was president
of the executive council when the two Nor
mon organizations of women came to the
council. She did not know just how they
got in, but they did. When delegates from
these two organizations appeared in the
next council, and the question was asked
how they got in, the reply was made that
they We're rich" and would help the coun-
ell.
Miss Anthony was strongly opposed to the
political end of the resolution She said
that women are not voters in the ma
jority of states she does not believe women
had any right to dictate to either the yot-
ers of the country, to Congress or to the
stale legislatures.
Mrs Sewall objected to hurting the feel

Declaration on Polygamy.
There was an exciting ten minutes to-
day, when the anti-polygamy resolutions
came before the council. Determined effort
was made to keep them back this morning
and just as determined effort to have
them introduced Demands were heard
from all over the house for them. Miss
Sadie Americon, delegate from the So
ciety of Jewish Women, finally demanded
that this was on the business program,
the resolutions passed upon by the COM
mittee on resolutions, of which Mrs. Eliza
beth Grannis is chairman, be presented.
Mrs. Grannis was not ready to present
the resolutions, refused to sign them as
having pa ssed her committee and In every
way endeavored to prevent immediate ac-
ton There was intense excitement.
Mrs. Grannis finally yielded to a vote of
the council and presented the resolutions,
which declared formally:
'Whereas the family is the unit of civic
organization and purity in family life
alone insure safety for the state: Therefore
be Il
Resolved, That to secure fidelity and JUS
tice for all in the state there must be pur-
ity in the home in which the family is
builded.
Resolved, That any practice which
undermines the foundation of the family
life shall be strongly deprecated, and that
since polygamous marriages are so terrible
evil which threatens to destroy the
home and state in portions OF our country,
the people should petition and protest
against the seating the holding of seat
in our national Congress by any man who
may practice subscribe to it.
Upon vote being taken on the resolutions
there were but three negative votes cast.
Mrs. Pauline Stinem, who represents the
Jewish society, objected to these resolu-
tons because, she stated she is not in favor
of prosecuting any one for his religion. She
said Mormon organizations, two at least,
are members of the national council of
women in good standing, and had done their
part in the work of the council. To adopt
these resolutions would be to practically
serve notice to them to leave.
Mrs. Manchester replied that this would

she does not love war. but believes that
there are times when brute stubborness can
only be overcome by brute force.
yesterday afternoon Mrs. Belinda Bailey,
national president of Inc Ladies of the G.
A. h, also discussed the peace policy.
1t has been said" she declared. that
there is no good reason for the existence Of
any society based on the idea of war
except the G. A. r. One hears from
time to time a great deal of talk about
our military spirit. There is a growing
public sentiment against war, as If the pub
lie mind had had a surfeit of 1t. The great
est satisfaction is expressed at the attitude
of our peace-loving warrior President, and
the American nation is urging upon all ma
tons board of arbitration for the settle
ment of national disputes. The patriotic
societies founded upon war services are not
so popular.
War a Horrible Alternative.
War is indeed horrible alternative.
Over 20000,OOO of men wers killed In the
last century in Europe, and France is
spending 100000 per day for the main-o
tenance of its army. When we consider
the appalling loss of life and the vast
sums of money turned away from industry
and education we wonder that even a REM
nant of mankind should resort to war. It
is only an outgrowth OF individual dueiing

INDIANS ARE DYING.
Winnebagoes Are Fast De-
crebsing i'm the State.

The once mighty Wirnebago tribe
is facing miserable end, though it
has 100000 to it's credit, says a
Black River Falls correspondent.
Those of the famous old Indian coun-
cils who arc still alive offer a prob
lemwhich the towns of this county
are unable to solve, though heroic
measures would be applied, could
some be found for the purpose.
But one settlement of the quest
ion seems imminent-the red men
are dying by scores of consumption.
And yet, this very fact promises to
almost bankrupt several towns. Ac-
cording to a decision of the United
States Supreme court, it is believ-
ed, the town in which sick and poor
Indians reside must pay for their
care, as they would for any INDECENT
citizen. Sickness prevails and hun
dreds of dollars are being needed to
treat the decrepit warriors.
Resident Iudian Farmer A. +.
Jones is authority for the state
ment that consumption, unless
stopped, will soon kill the whole
tribe.
1t is said that little attention is
paid to the marriage rights among
the Indians in this vicinity, which
has accentuated demoralizing con-
ditions.
The government is holding 5000,
600 of their monies, paying 4 per
cent interest.

(From Friday 8 Daily.)

There was very beautiful home
wedding last evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Mould who re-
side on Ash street in this city. The
occasion was the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Ida Florence, to Mr..
Carl NJ. Prentice, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. H. Prentice. The ceremony
was pronounced by Rev. Munneke,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
in the presence of only relatives and
near friends of the families.
To the strains of the wedding
march by Miss May Prentice, sister
of the groom, the couple took their
places in the bay window which was
beautifed with a mass of smilax
and flowers. The bride wore a gown
of white silk and carried narcissus.
They we're attended by Miss Ger
trude Mould, sister of the the bride,
and by Irving Laird, son of Conduc-
tor Laird of Elroy. Little Agnes
Grotophorst and Master Charles
Watts were the juvenile flower at
tendants on this occasion.
After the congratulations boun-
tiful and most delicious repast was
served. Over the dining table
swung a floral bell and from the
center above great festoons fsmil Ak
came down. Many beautiful pres
ents were received.
Both the BRIDE and groom have
many friends in Baraboo who wish
for them an extended, joyous life.
After Nav 1st they will be at home
