the medical authority as incapable

complained that Boss Orr was trad

bacco and the army was on the
verge of starvation. Since his re-
tirement from the army Orr has
spent most of his time chewing the
native weed and assessing real

not molested old speck and her

tally Express heir views Upon
Woman Suffrage.

In recent address by Cardinal
Gibbons to the women graduates Of
Trinity College, Washington, d. c,
he solemnly warned them against
women suffrage and declared: "Be-
cause we give our women a college
education, 1t does not follow that
We intend them to clamor for the
prerogatives of men" In times
past men usurped about all the
"prerogatives" there were, higher
education among the rest, and if
women had never "clamored" for
this one, they would be where their
foremothers were when they were
not even taught the alphabet.
II Cardinal Gibbons did not wish
his church women to clamor for the
so called "prerogaliyes Of men" he
should have kept the doors Of the
higher educational institutions
closed to them. Catholic women
have not shown themselves slow in
usurping the so called prerogatives
Of men in the past whenever oppor-
tunity offered.
In happy contrast to the ulteran-
ces Of cardinal Gibbons to his
women graduates, are those of
Bishop McVickar Of Rhode Island
in his address TO the graduating
class Of Bryn Mawr College and
Supreme Court Justice David J.
Brewer in his address at Vassar
College. Bishop McVickar said:
"1 hope and pray we may see
women suffrage come to pass soon.
In this fuller citizenship there is no
chance that women would unsex
herself / believe shat the paths
she would walk in would not only
be Frightened, but they would be
straightened.
Justice Brewer after expressing
his belief in woman suffrage said.
"Who shall say that before gray
hair shall cover the heads Of the
women mere tonight there may not
sit in the White House woman
who, like Queen Victoria, will shed
lustre upon this country as Victoria
shed lusire upon England"

McBRYDE BONDS ARE
EXCITING NEW INTEREST

Revival of interest In McBryde stock
during the last few days has developed
that the stock at the present price Is
one Of the strongest on the market,
and at the same time crop Of rumors.
One Of the rumors was that the Nc.
Bryde plantation bonds have been all
spoken for, when the first mortgage
bonds are taken up next June or July.
Another, that p. G. Jones was asso-
ciated with w. A. Kinney In arranging
for the bonding matter to be consum-
mated next June or July.
Mr. Jones was seen this morning. He
stated that the rumor of his associa.
ton with Mr.. Kinney doubtless grew
out Of the electric power development

Company had played an important

Another Extension Granted.

The indications are that the inter
urban matter will be brought to focus
very soon. A dispatch sent out from
GAINESVILLE says: cit is probable that
within the next ten days the question as
to whether the GAINESVILLE Madison inter-
urban line is to be built will be definite
ly settled. Eastern capitalists who are
to finance the road have the papers for
their consideration, and as the extension
of the franchise granted in GAINESVILLE
expires March.1, it is probable that def.
mite action will be taken before that
time, as it is not thought that the coun-
Gil will grant further extension The
Southern Wisconsin company has al
ready secured franchises in GAINESVILLE,
Edgerton and Stoughton, and if the
financing of the road is completed in
time it will be built this spring." Anoth-
er extension, however, was granted the
Southern Interurban Co. bv ne James
Vile council Monday nigh, extending
the time for filing their bonds from
March 1st to May 1st. Michael Hayes,
one of the leading promoters in the CON-
pany, stated that the extension was
asked for so that the work could be COM
menced when the weather was more fav-
orable and when the frost was out of the
ground. 1t is said that the necessary
money to finance the building of the
road has been secured and that eastern
men will be in the deal to strong extent

Suicide at GAINESVILLE.

In little front room on the fifth floor
of the American house on East Milwau-
kee street, GAINESVILLE, the lifelees body
of Anton Wollfrum was found hanging
Tuesday afternoon. The body was sus-
pended by the neck from hook in the
wall, the suicide using clothes line
which was used in drying clothes. DR..
Charles Sutherland was summoned and
after examining the body it was his
opinion that the man had been dead
about eighteen hours. Chief Comstock
and Officers Brown and Beneke were
soon on the scene and search of the
man revealed 80 cents in silver, a new
razor, knife and a pocketbook. He
left no note and his friends are at a loss
to know why he took his life. Wollfrum
has been in poor health and out of work
but he is said to have $500 in a local
bank aside from about $4,000 in property
in Germany. He also carried life. in
surance policy for $1,000 made out to his
brother who lives in Germany. Woll-
frum was single man about ~ years of
age and boarded at the American house.
Landlord Herman stated that the last
he remembers seeing Wollfrum was at
10 o'clock last Sunday morning.
