Marriage of Two Prominent People
to Be Soemnized on Board
R Suffragette Train.

Spokane Wash, May 22.-Beautiful,
accomplished, vivacions and wealthy
are a few Of the adjectiyes employed
to describe the young bride, while
tall and handsome, rich, and as a
consequence, influential, brilliant and
an ardent devotee to the cause give
an inkling of the qualifications of the
bridegroom who are to be married
in the drawing room of a parlor car
attached to the special train, in which
advocates of equal rights will journey
across the state of Washington on
June 20.
Neither Mrs. Emma Smith DeNoe,
president of the Equal Suffrage as
sociation of Washington. nor Mrs May
Arkwright Hutton, head of the Spo-
kane Suffrage club, will disclose the
identity of the hero or heroine of the
romance until the train pulls out of
the Spokane station at 2:S0 o'clock
on the morning of June %, on the way
to Seattle, where the National Amer.
lean Woman Suffrage association will
have its convention, July l to T. Mrs.
Hutton said:
"The names of the couple will re-
main a secret until it is time to show
the world that. instead of alternating
women from the fireside. the suffrage
movement tends toward the creation
of home ties. However. the brides
name is known to many in the north
west and the bridegroom is a man of
influence"

under the direction of suffragettes,

The only white people who have
ever witnessed this grewsome Ger

death cheerfully, accepting the in

Shortly after death the body is
carried off to the tundra and laid
on the ground. The breast is
opened, to release the spirit, which

(By United Press Leased Wire)
NORTH YAKIMA, Feb. "a
While the Beau Brummel and the
gay Lothario of Nachez City, a
little town on the North Yakima
and Valley railroad, were endeav-
oring to settle by means of Mar
quis of Queensbury methods their
claims upon the hand of the fair
village belle, the village "cut-up'
improved his opportunity and to-
day is in fair way to win out.
The trouble started at mas
querade ball. Beau Brummel
took her to the ball and Lothario
attempted TO take her home. A
duel with fists was arranged for
yesterday morning. 1t was to be
to a finish.
The belligerents-met at the ap-
pointed time and stripped for the
fray. At this point some one
suggested that it would be well
to find out how the girl viewed
the matter. An emissary was
sent to her home. The messenger
happened to be the village cut-up.
The belle appeared to have
doubts as to the propriety of ac-
cepting the result of a fist fight
that would determine her future.
The messenger, noting her indie
cision, offered himself as happy
medium. The offer was looked
upon with favor and word to that
effect sent back to the ringside.
There was no fight.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. "a.
Observation-Disclosures
That is the term applied py
nrominent Los Angeles alienists
TO the disease which has claimed
the mind of Florln G. Lee, a prom
inent Young merchant of River
side. Cal. and completely changed
his personality.
New Years night Lee was
standing in the S. p. railroad
depot in Riverside awaiting the
arrival of his father. While he
watched the headlight of the APP
lproaching train, his mind became
suddenly a blank, and he assumed
the personality of Fred Wimpess.
He failed to return home that
night and a search was started.
Hours passed into days, and days
into weeks, and finally when all
hope of finding him had been
abandoned, he was recognized by
| a young lady acquaintance In
Los Angeles.
Joyously the girl rushed toward
him calling his name. For a mo-
ment he was startled, then coldly
Informed her that she must be
mistaken as he was Fred Wimpess,
a "bell-hop" at big local hotel.
In vain the young woman en-
4 deavored to persuade him as to
his identity. Then, as he turned
away she called an officer and had
him placed under arrest. The
young mans father, Howard w.
Lee, was summoned. The aged
parent tried to embrace his son,
but the latter disengaged himself,
considerably annoyed at the low
ing overtures of the apparent
stranger.
So peculiar were the actions OF
the victim, that the police were
for a time In serious doubt as to
his identity. This was completely
Established by his jewelry.
Then the victim was given into
the care of his father, who took
him home. There, amid the low
ing attentions of his parents and
sisters, final effort is being made
to restore to him his lost person
ality.
