civilization with the corporation Of the
women through the cxcrSH5c OF the elective
franchise declared Mrs. Emeline Pank-
hurst, the English "~suffragette" leader, In
an address at the old Masonic temple here
tonight, I'm which she made a strong plea
that American women be given the right TO
vote. Before an audience composed mostly
Of women, which taxed the capacity of the
hall, Mrs. Pankhurst, following an address
OF two hours on why Women Want to
Vote" submitted TO a rapid-fire Of inter
ruptions by men and women on various
phases Of the suffrage cause"
do you think that an American woman
will ever be PRESIDENT asked a woman In
the audience.
THAT is the most extraordinary question
1 have ever had put to me" replied Mrs.
Pankhurst, who paused for some time be-
fore answering. That is a question:" said
she, which you American women will have
to decide for yourselves"
As a prelude to her remarks, Mrs. Pank-
hurst stated, that she came here to bring a
message of encouragement from English
women, whom she said are trying to win
their political emancipation. Mrs. Pank-
hurst traced the history of the suffrage
movement in her own country, declaring
that American women would have to admit
whatever they thought Of the campaign Of
their sisters in England, that they had sue
ceeded in pressing this question to the very
forefront Of British politics.
w who are Responsible" said Mrs.
Pankhurst, are just as much in earnest
about our political freedom as were your
forefathers when you fought your revolu-
ton. 1t 10 a civil war that we are carry
ing on with feminine weapons. We cannot
fight with guns, but we can by intolerable
Noise"
Mrs. Pankhurst made reference to some
OF the demonstrations of the suffragettes
on the house of m She told her
audience that they, too. would nave to

A building permit was issued today to
Brown county for the construction OF a
stockade, 24x1sx1s feet, In the court house

that he doesn't care a d-n" what is done
with him. He has gained in flesh during
his Imprisonment, and is jovial n good
nhtured, frequently Jokingiy informing his
guards that 1t would be an easy matter
for him TO commit suicide and thus cheat
the gallows OF its prey, but he doesn't
want you fellows to lose the fur" Of seeing
him hanged.
Brown nj people nave received
copies Of a booklet issued by William Ed
ward White OF WATERFOWL. protesting
strongly against the execution Of Victor,
the quadrLple murderer. White argues
tina the state has no right to deprive a
person Of his life, and even questions the
righteousness OF life imprisonment, but
contends Victor should be taught some
trade or craftsmanship, and compelled TO
spend his life taking the place OF the vic
Tins Of his crime, his earnings going TO

Council Bluffs Scientists DO Not Like
Peabody Engagement.

Peabody Engagement.
Frederick w. Peabody, an attorney from
Boston, who was engaged in the litigation
against Mrs. Eddy, head Of the Christian
Science church, lectured Saturday to an
audience which filled the auditorium Of
the First Baptist church. He announced
his subject as Christian Science Exposed"
and the lecture all through was a bitter
attack on Mrs. Eddy, her followers and
the Christian Science church in general.
Mr.. Peabody said he had travelled from
Boston to San Diego, up the coast to
Spokane. and is now travelling back across
the. continent giving lectures against Chris
tian Science in every city in which he
stops. From here he will go to st. Joseph
in both cities,
There has been considerable criticism
over the action Of the Ministerial assocla-
ton inviting Mr.. Peabody to come here and
lecture against a church which includes
among its membership in Council Bluffs
many Of the most prominent citizens, both
men and women. The board OF the First
Baptist church has also been criticised for
offering the use Of it's building to hold the
lecture in.
What would the people of this city have
said II we had imported a lecturer to
attack In the SANE bitter language that
Mr.. Peabody used last night any one Of the
other church denominations? p" asked a
