This young man is the Starry" who is
requested to sell the pin and chain. He,
like all the rest, was familiar with the
revolver. as the whole bunch had been
firing it from the porch Of the Dunn home
on New Years eve.
While the testimony OF the witnesses was
being heard in the rear room of the cor
oner's undertaking parlors neither the
father. mother or brother OF Miss Talbot
was present. The mother and the brother
are Frustrated, and the father is in little
better condition, having been forced to re-
tire from the scene OF the inquest before
the testimony began. The time OF the fun
eral has not yet been decided on, but the
present plan Is 20 hold It tomorrow after
noon.
While the inquest was proceeding the face
Of the dead girl, surrounded by an aureole
OF black hair. could be seen in its silent
majesty as the jurors and two or three
witnesses were taken to the bier to be
sworn.
After all other witnesses had been heard
Coroner's Physician Dunn outlined the ma
ture OF the wound. He also testified to
the presence of a tumor. or some similar
swelling, which he said might possibly
have been a contributing cause to the de-
spondency under which the girl labored un-
availingly.

ured largely by its purity; there
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-

food and which vas as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be IS Quaker Oats;
conceded BY the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength Of muscle

all foods. The Quaker Oats Company

PROGRESS IN FARMING
TIME SAVING SCHEME

A,man near Williston by the name of
w., ". Pease, has certainly got the
system whereby he kills two birds
with one stone" MI. Pease says he
can save time by doing both his har-
vestine and blowing at the same time,
and when he has finished his cutting of
$50 acres he will. also have his blowing
done and can devote the remainder Of
his time threshine for himself and
n~eiehbors. MI. Pease bitches three big
gangs to his threshine engine and hooks
his binder on behind them and while
the binde, is cutting one .swath:of grain
the plows are turning owe the stubble,
where the binder ran the round before.
Fronihis experience this year. Mi. Pease
finds: that this method Of blowing and
harvesting is q great deal cheaper than
doing the work with horses and at two
operations. and The best feature Of bis.
method y that HE plowine,, is done
early. which brings added revenue In the
next years crops.

COLUMN DEVOTED TO. /.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

n of the reasons frequently advanced
by those opposed to woman's vote is
that they would lose their influence.
What gives a woman influence? Beauty,
goodness, tact, talent. pleasant manners,
money, social position, etc. A woman
who has any of these means of infiu-
ence now would still have them if she
had a vote, and she would have this
other potent means of influence besides.
There is a story of a prisoner who had
been shut up for many years in a dun
geon. getting sunlight only through a
chink in the wall. He grew much at
tached to that chink. At last his friends
came and offered to tear down the wall.
His mind had become weakened and he
begged them not to do it. If they de-
stroyed the wall, he said, they would
also destroy the chink through which he
got all his sunlight and he would be
left in total darkness.
If he had had his wits, he would have
seen that he. would have all the sun
light he had before and a great deal more
besides. A woman after enfranchise-
ment would have all the personal in
fuence she has now and political in:
fluence in addition. One thing > is
certain /: every vicious interest in thie
country would rather continue to contend
with woman indirect influence" than
cope with women vote.
BALLETS AND BULLETS.
If women vote they ought to fgh,
and do police duty"
II no men were allowed to vote except
those who are able and willing to do
military and police duty, women might
consistently be debarred for that rea-
SON. But so long as the old. the intirm,
the halt, the lame and the blind are
freely admitted to the ballot box some
better reason must be found for exclud-
ing women than the fact that they do
not fight.
All men over As are exempt from
AAAAASoAy oSAVASCs yOI lAA[y VOlVs ~O1s -
W. Higginson says: 1T appears bv the
record of the United States Military
Statistics that out Of the men examined
for military duty during the civil war,
of Journalists TAO in every 1. 900 were
found unfit; of preachers, s74 of physi-
clans. $50; of lawyers, 544."
Grave divines are Mortified at the
thought of admitting women to vote
when they cannot fight. though not one
in 20 of their own number is fit for
military duty, if he volunteered. OF
the editors who denonnce woman stuff
rage only about one in four could carry
a musket; while of the lawyers who
6ll congress. the majority could not be
defenders of. :their country. but: could
only be defended:
h: Again, it. must be. remembered that
some: woman risks: her life whenever q
soldier is born into the world. Mrs. z.
G. Wallace of Indiana; from whom Gen.
Lew Wallace drew the portrait of the
mother in, ben fur. said. III women
do not fight, they give to" the state all

as an offset for the military service
that woman do not perform. AS Lady

soldiers does not need TO bear arms,"

AMERICAN BARN DANCE

The American barn dance, now one
tof the leading novelties of the London
ballroom. has been introduced in this
country. Several society women startled
the community with IS. R. Henry's
Barn Dance to which they danced
the figures of the Virginia reel and the
hoedown. Since then the bands and
orchestras have taken up the craze.
The method in which the dance is
interpreted is that of six couples who
swing their partners to a central point,
then waltz back to an angle formed by
the first retreatine couple, who in turn
EXCHANGE partners. The following
strains indicate the musical theme to
which this in done:

the cabbage turned to sauer kraut in

A decision Of great importance to the
people of the state has been rendered
by the United States supreme cnurt.
The. court holds that: on, a homestead title
does not pass until patent is issued and
that the sale Of homestead as soon as
the receivers receipt was issued. Sic
pull and void;;.#is in effect relinlquish-
ment: to the government OF the home
stead. It has always been understood
that title passed when the receivers
receipt was issued and many sales of
homesteads have been made as soon
as receipts were received. but il the
future this will not be allowed. The deci-
sion does not affect desert land or other
claims. on which the government recDa.
nizes assignment Of title.
