Blue Eyed and Fair Skinned Indians.
One of the mysteries of Mexico is
presented by the Myea Indians, who
inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains
in the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair
and students Of ethnology have al
ways been puzzled to account for
them.
There is tradition, however. that
these Indians are the descendants Of
the crew of passengers of Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world, but this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds Of moor
ago.

Canton, o., Sept. 3O.-Flags every.
where! Flags bright and bunting
brighter; garlands OF green and
wreaths of laurel twining around
cleaning standards OF white and gold!
In such gittering gear is Canton for the
dedication Monday Of the mausoleum
to her beloved Mckinley. Nowhere
are the emblems of grief or mourning,
no rue with the rosemary united. Hoh-
day crowds fill the gayly bedecked
streets, and thousands of laughing men
and women parade through the hand
some court of honor with its stately
pillars in the public plaza. The mourn
| ing season is past, the home city Of
the dead president seems to feel that
1t is right to rejoice in the honoring of
his memory.
In this spirit a program has been
prepared that will insure a grand and
imposing spectacle, one entirely be-
fitting the occasion and the hour For
six years the citizens of Canton have
worked to make this dedication an
affair of which not only Canton, but
Ohio and the nation generally would
be proud. Sunday night small army
was at work putting the finishing
touches upon the tomb, the decorations
and reviewing stands, and it was day
break before they ceased their labors.
Every incoming train brings crowded
cars of distinguished visitors and the
hotels at midnight were choked as to
capacity.
1t is the arrival of President Theo-
dore Roosevelt at 10 o'clock in the
morning that will set into motion the
machinery that has been building all
these years. His greeting will be a
chorus Of fresh young voices, pupils of
the public schools, past whose stand
he will drive from the depot to the re-
viewing stand on the public plaza. So
arranged and costumed as to represent
a living flag, they will burst into song
as he swings into view. His appear
ance at the central stand will be the
signal for the beginning OF the march
past of the civil and military bodies
that are to form the parade of honor.
At the tomb his coming will give the
cue for the beginning OF the dedicatCry
exercises, in which many distinguished
men will take part. The only thing
that can possibly interfere with the
success of the occasion is the weather,
and this is threatening. Monday the
many thousands who thronged the
streets and tramped out to the tomb
did so in a drizzle, which at times be-
came soft rain.
Sunday night H. Vanburen Magon-
igle, the architect in charge, said that
his share of the work was in readiness,
and so did every chairman from United
States Justice William r. Day, presi-
dent of the memorial association, down
to the ushers.
Miss Helen Mckinley, sister Of the
late president, will unveil the bronze
statue on the south staircase.
Gov Andrew L. Harris, attended by
Adit Gen. A. B. Critchfeld and others

PUMP FAILED
And Sterling Oil Refinery Was De

Marietta, O.-Fire practically de-
stroyed the Sterling Oil Refinery, Just
outside of Marfetta's limits. Efforts
of employees to drown the flames were

Colorado IN 1893 submitted to the
voters the question of full enfranchise-

In the territory Of Utah the women
voted on all matters from 1870 to 1887,
when they were arbitrarily disfran-
chised by act of congress. In 1895 full

In Kansas m 1887 the legislature
passed a bill by a vote of 25 to 13 in
the senate, and 80 to 21 in the house,
comforting the municipal franchise
upon the women of the state.
In Michigan in 1898 the legislature
by large majority gave municipal
suffrage to women, but the law was
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court.
In Montana in 1889 women property
owners were granted a vote on all

In 1857 such an amendment received
in Kansas 1910 affirmative and 1887
negative votes. In 1894 it was again
submitted and received 95,302 affirma.
tive and 130,139 negative votes, very
considerable decrease in the per.
centage of the opposition.
In Colorado in 1877 the vote stood
6,612 yeas, 14,O55 nays; defeated by
7,441. In 1893 1t stood 35, ,698 yeas, 49,.

Is there anything discouraging in
these figures? Do they not show be-

reduction Of the opposing majority at

away of what Hon. John D. Long calls
"the glacier Of bourbonism and oppres-

has to encounter the opposing preju
dice and custom of the centuries.
