Bloomington Hit Again.

Another hail storm of great sew
Gritty passed over the rich farming
country two miles north of Bloom
ington Wednesday evening at $50,
cutting swath about a mile wide
and several miles in length, Crops
We're almost entirely destroyed and
many windows in the farm houses
were broken. The ground was
covered with hail to depth of two
inches on the level. This storm,
with the one which came on Mon
day evening, destroyed thousands
of dollars worth of crops, including
both corn and small grains. There
was very little insurance on any of
these crops.

BARBER SHOP VOTING BOOTHS.
Chicago women say They Cannot Retain
Their Self Respect and Enter Them.

CHICAGO. Nov. lI.-Women have dis
covered that the placing Of the voting
booths in barber shops is one Of the greatest
obstacles to their emancipation. The bar
Der shop booth, a. it has been called. was
scored last night by the South Side Suffrage
Association and held up to feminine scorn
as perhaps the most subtle and insidious
ruse whereby man continues to hold woman
kim in subjugstion."
The pretence that women are free to
vote for even the solitary office OF univer-
sity trustee" was declared "a solemn farce"
by one of the women speakers. Other
speakers went further still.
Few women can be educated to believe
that they can retain their self-respect and
enter barber shops to vote while men are
being shaved and lathered all b the
place said one speaker. The women
Of this city should rise up against this trick
OF politicians-for such IL is~-compelling
practically all women who want to vote
TO do 30 in barber shops"

CHICAGO, Nov. u.-With the advance in
iron ore, coke aud labor, Northern furnace
men figure that it will cost fully So a ton
more to make pig iron when navigation
opens next summer than it does now
hence they are not inclined TO sell freely
unless prices are satisfactory.
Finished products are passing into con-
sumption at a rapid rate. but the car situ-
ton retsrds deliveries at the mills.
The supply of coal in the West, as de-
scribed by the Black Diamond. is not near
equal to the demand. and sales agents are
not in q position to ill rush orders promptly
owing to the fact that most of them are
weeks behind on orders.
The mellow weather has proved very ad-
Vantageous, enabling the selling branches
of the trade TO speed out coal on rush orders
and prepare for the brisk business which is
10 come in the future.
With the jobbers of dry goods, clothing
and shoes, business il large for the season.
Holiday goods are having an
sale. In other lines trading was large for
the season. A good feature Of the trade
situation was the readiness with which a
majority of interior merchants and general
buyers meet their obligations, there being
little complaint about collection.

N snsaS Governors Plurality Of Only z,I.6
Alleged 10 Be Due to Trust MONEY.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE official
count of the votes in, Kansas gives Gov.
Hoch,~ Republican, "a plurality Of ALA.
The charge is made that the Standard
Oil Company put large sums Of money into
the campaign 20 defeat Hoch, and a legis-
lative investigation is advocated by Gov.
HOch's advisers.
Gov. Hoch and Chairman drummer
have received some interesting informa-
ton. l.. b. Smith, engineer for the Topeka
Bridge and Iron Company, reports that
he rode from Wichita TO Joplin on election
day and says that hundreds Of former
kansans, employed in the Indian Territory
by the Standard and allied corporations,
we're coming north on free transportation.
? and that all of them declared they were
coming to vote for Harris. A majority of
these returning voted In Montgomery
Neosho and Wilson counties, Standard
Oil s~trongholds.
There Is a belief among Republicans
that W. +. Sapp, eX-ehairman of the Demo-
cratic committee, was not spending his
W money for the Office and force of
stenographers used by him in Kansas City
in the latter part OF the campaign.
The motive which Is supposed to have
been behind the Stapdard's fight on Gov.
Hoch was the adoption by tile last Legis-
bture OF the anti discrimination act.
