MERE M~ENnTREMBIE
UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS FOR
SUFFRAGISTS IN LONDON.

CANTON . q

Navcrea by beautiful weather, and
again displaying a totally unexpected
genius for organization, the sunrag-
cites demonstration in Hyde park.
London. Sunday was an unparalleled
success. Encouraged by previous sue
cesses the s~nffragettes planned Sun
days demonstration as a climax to the
fight for woman suffrage. It is hardly
too much to say that never before was
such a political demonstration seen in
London.
Fully 500. 900 people assembled In
and around Hyde park as active or
passive participants in the great meet
ing, While for two or three hours IN
the middle of the day the whole CEN
ter OF the city was in a ferrnent. Va
riotls professions appeared, each about
a mile long, and the routes through
which these passed were deEsely
crowded with spectators
The suffragettes from the prov
inces'' were met at the various railroad
stations by delegations from the Lon
don organisation, and these, forming
Into line. marched from different
points OF the compass to Hyde park.
After arriving there the leaders and
speakers for the various sections had
literally to fight their way to the plat
forms Probably there were about
twenty speakers in all and those ha-
10ngued the masses on the right Of
woman to vote n the necessity Of
force In parliament to adopt a resolu-
ton on the question.
These women's demonstrations Are
fur more attractive from a spectacu-
lar point OF view than those held by
men. Almost all Of the suffragettes
wore white dresses, with sashes OF
their colors, green, white and purple,
Inscribed. "vot for Women" and The
scene as viewed from the platforms
vas quite a fete OF color.

WATER FROM NATURAL SPRING.
Unique System for New Plant at Wcs-
singtOn Springs.


h town Of washington Springs is
to have what will be the most unique
municipal water works system in the
state. 1t will be unique in that the
water for the system will be furnished
by a huge natural spring, the water
from which so far as purity is con-
cerned cannot be excelled in the world.
The spring n the ground Surround
ing it has been purchased by the town
at a cost of $3.50. The water will
flow directly from the spring into the
mains. Water for fire protection will
be pumped from the spring into q
large concrete reservoir which will be
constructed on a hill above the spring,
the elevation giving the necessary
pressure. The contract Tor the con-
struction of the system recently was
awarded and the work Of construction
now has been commenced. 1t will
be pushed as rapidly as possible so the
system can be completed and placed
IN operation before the summer is very
Far advanced.

MORE DYNAMITE IN POCKET.
Eonhomme County Young Man Suffers
Serious Accident.

For some time Joseph W1pf, Jr., a
well known member Of what is known
as the Maxwell colony OF Mennonites
in Bonhomme county, has made a
practice of carrying dynamite in his
pocket, butlhe won't do, so any more.
A day or two ago he was the victim
Of a serious accident as the result Of
carrying a dynamite cap in his pocket.
The cap was exploded by coming into
contact with a ring, which was drop
ped into his pocket. The force of the
explosion was sufficient to tear a
piece of flesh as large as a baseball
from his thigh, and in addition the
ends of his fingers were blown off.
Hereafter he will substitute some
thing less dangerous than dynamite
caps for pocket pieces.
