Storthing, Norway's legislative body, wo-
men have been granted the parliamentary
franchise on the same condition that IT
was previously granted to them in muni-
clpal elections; that is, to every woman
% years old who is taxed on an income
of Sll3 in cities or of $S4 in rural districts
This practically assures the attainment of
universal suffrage by adult representa-

STILL A MYSTERY
Some Little Light Being Thrown on
a Murder Case

The mystery which surrounds the
gruesome hnd recently made at the
eight mile house.. while it is still a
mystery, is being lightened from dav
to day as the patient work of follow
ing first one slight clew. then another,
goes on, says the Reno Journal
When the find was first made, Cor
oner Bell gave it as his opinion that
the remains found in an old prospect
hole were those of an Indian A few
days afterward the sheriff went to the
scene of the find, and later declared
that the remains found were those of
white man, and that he came to his
death by foul play.
Nothing more has been heard f
the matter until now it develops that
Wells-Fargo detective is working on
the case and yesterday another relic
OF the mysterious affair was added to
the collection on exhibition in the
window Of Hibbard Turner. This
is shoe, No. 6 in size, which prac-
tically does away with the theory that
the dead man was an Indian, as it Is
too small for an Indian.
The additional information leake;
out last evening, that the underwear
found on the remains, together W, h
the overshlrt and the belt, had been
found to be Of English make, and tais
fact IS now Icing used as a clcw m
the hope Of discovering the idcn, V
Of the dead man if not that of l:s
'nurdercr.
The theory is rapidly gaining
ground that the man was repre-
sentative Of some investing firm, and
that he met his death while in this
country looking at mining properti.s,
and that robbery was the object of
the crime.
