IAnse Girl succumbs to Death.
Miss Kate Maria Kemp died at st.
Mary's hospital, Marquette, at 7:3O
Thursday, evening. Although her death
was a sad blow to her many dear friends
of L'Anse and vicinity, it came as no
surprise, for she has always been rath-
er frail girl.

land, in 1871 and when but 2 years old
came. with her parents, to Hancock,
where they made brief stay. From
Hancock she then journeyed to L'Anse.
where she has since resided.
Miss Kemp was lady of very pleas
ing personality, loved by all who came
in contact with her, but her frailty has
always kept her from the pleasures Of
other healthy ones, hence she was q
very quiet girl.
On Tuesday Of last week she was TAX
en- to Marquette, being operated on for
an abscess of the bowels on the 23d of
this month. She seemed to improve
from this and up to within twenty four
hours of her death great hopes for her
recovery were entertained. But life in
it's uncertainty, had to give way to
death at the time above mentioned.
Deceased leaves three brothers to
mourn her demise, namely, Joseph w.,
Fred H. and Alfred j., all Of whom
reside in L'Anse. Her parents have
succeeded her to the land of rest.
Funeral services will be held at the
N. E. church at L'Anse about two
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, interment
taking place in the L'Anse cemetery.

 dren's Education.

Paris, October 2S.-The court which
 has had under advisement the case of Count Boni de castellane against his former wife, the present Princess
 de Sagan, growing out of tho differ ence as to how their two eldest sons should be educated, returned its de- cision today. The court rebuked both the count and the princess for their disagreement in the matter of school ing their children and ordered the judgment of May 27 last put into ef- feet. This earlier judgment provides that in the event of disagreement in the matter between the parents. the boys be sent as resident pupils to the Licee of Janson, where the court said they would be certain to find proper
 medical attention.
 The petition of the count that the defendant be penalized $100 daily for
 each child so long as she failed to
 obey the order was rejected and the
 costs of the case were divided between
 the two parties.
 Following the judgment of last May the princess has deferred placing tn e children in the school as directed on
 the grounds that their health was sucsi as to make that course impracticable. e. On last Friday the count instituted an action praying for an enforcement of
 the courts instructions.

 ways Convention.

New Orleans, October 2S.-Five thousand people seated comfortably at dinner in the biggest floating dry dock in the world is the novel experience promised the dele gates to the lakes-to-t -the-gulf deep water ways convention next Tuesday.

Iowa Women Adopt Resolutions In. dorsine Militant Methods in Se- curing Recognition for Right
 of Ballot.

London, October 2S-The bye-eleetion today in the Bermondsey division of southwork, a parliamentary borough of London, which was characterized by the most militant attack the sufragettes have yet ventured 10 make in their struggle for votes for women." resulted in q sweeping victory of the unionists
 John Dumphreys, unionist, won the three-eornered fight with a plurality of sS7. overcoming the liberal majority of 1875 in 1906. The vote was as follows
 Dumphreys. i27S; & L. Hughes, liberal, S29l; pr. A. Salter socialist, 14S5.
 The unionist victory is considered q severe blow to the supporters of the budget, as all along this election was ex- pected to afford a good test of the feel ing in London and the country generally on the impending struggle in parliament. Bermondsey has been a doubtful con- stitutency for years. but three years ago the election resulteI in liberal landslide. The fight this year finally resolved itself into a question of the budget against the tariff reform, and whatever the outcome might be it was looked upon as fore casting the result of d general election should one be held.

POOR MANS WINE
 POURED ON GROUND
ATHENS MAN IS VICTIM OF FUL- LER LAW-CLAlMS WINE WAS MADE FOR HOME USE AND NOT TO VIOLATE LAW.

Athens, October 2S-(Special) 1.-The first exemplification of the drastic Fuller pro- hibition bill to be had in this county took place at l o'clock yesterday in front of the courthouse door, when the luxuriant blue grass of the court yard was enriched by the pouring out of 16o gallons of as fine homemade wine as was ever seen In this county.
 This wine belonged to John A. Williams of this place and was seized by the sheriff on complaint and the cause was tried before Justice J. J. Turrentine. His decision was that the sheriff, under the Fuller bill, must take this wine to the courthouse and there destroy the bar rels or vessels in which it was held and pour the same on the ground. The man. date of the court was carried out to the letter.
 The wine was hauled into the court yard on dray under the guard of the sheriff, and rolled off the dray and the sheriff, who is a small man in stature but a giant when it comes to the discharge of his duty, went to work on the barrels and soon had the red wine flowing over the grass In deluge. This was the first taste of the drastic Fuller bill that has been given to our people. Williams Is a poor man, and says that the wine was not made for illegal purposes, and did not contain more alcohol than the law allowed, but that he was not allowed to have 1t tested.

Iowa Women Militant.

Des Moines, Ia, October 2S.-Stirred to action by a number of fierce speeches by the more aggressive members, the Iowa Equal Suffrage association today adopted resolutions in favor of the militant meth ods, adopted by the suffragettes of Eng land The word obstructive" was sub stituted for militant"
 The president of the association, the Rev. Eleanor Gordon of Des Moipes, and Mrs. Julia Clark Hallam of Sioux City, were the leaders among the radical forces, but there is an element in the association which views with alarm the movement to adopt militant methods.
 ''rhe day for passive methods is past" declared the Rev. Eleanor Gordon. 'I am for adopting more radical methods
 And l." added Mrs. Hallam. would go to jail for the suffrage cause But if I were arrested ] would resist the officer to the last"
 Mrs. Hallam, vice president of the suf- frage association, said tonight:
 All that l ask for is that 300 women stand with me and we storm the Iowa legislature until we get something. We have worked for 90 years along conserva- tive lines, and what have we accomp- lished? if there is any fight left in us, let us fight Imprisonment will be child play to the humiliation of going back to the legislature in another year and asking and begging for the rights of suffrage. All we need is the material, good lawyer ands money. There is point where pa tience ceases to be virtue.
 When the legislature refuses to con sider our bill we can talk. Not all of us need talk at once, but one woman can block the legislature until she is put out and then another can take her place. This is no invasion upon the legislature, but it is our purpose to see that we have our rights. If a policeman takes me by the arm I will not surrender to the law. I am citizen of the United States and had no power in placing these men in the legislature. l will be there to fight for my rights as did my forefathers. and why have l not the same right to fight for a voice in the government?
 The conditions in the Iowa legislatdrs and in the house of parliament in England are no different. The time has come when we will have to fight for rights. We are tired of going to the legislature and be- ing gently but firmly slapped in the face A few politicians have decided to defeat us."
 The principal opposition to the resolu- tions for the adoption of the obstruction methods was made by the Rev. Miss Ger trude Von Petzold of Leicester, Eng land, a member of the suffrage organiza- tion of that country, and acting pastor of the Unitarian church here. She said Iowa was neither numerically nor financially strong enough to start the militant sui frage work

Throw Acid on Boxes.

London, October 2S.-Mrs. Chapin a suffragette, furnished an early morning thrill at the Bermondsey bye-election to- day when she smashed a bottle contain ing corrosive acid upon a ballot box. Her intention evidently was to destroy the ballots in the box as protest against the exclusion of women from the right of franclse. What she accomplished was the painful burning of some of The election officers and assurance of her own arrest
 Slipping into one of the booths where perhaps a thousand ballots had been de- posted, Mrs. Chapin drew from under her cloak bottle in which ink had been mixed with corrosive acid, and before she could be stopped hurled the bottle upon the box. It broke into many pieces and the flying acid splashed upon the election officers. number of these were so se- yerely injured so as to require medical at- tention.
 About the same time a similar outrage was attempted at another booth by a young girl who wore the suffragette col- ors. In the latter instance little damage was done beyond the burning of the finger tips of the elections officials who removed the bits of broken glass. So far as coudl be ascertained not much acid reached the ballots in either case.
 It appears that todays violence was planned by the Womens Freedom league, the members of this same league who piclxeted the house of commons for b weeks. The leagues secretary is Mrs. Edith Hon Martyr. In an interview fol- lowin gthe attack upon the ballot boxes, Mrs. Martyr said:
 We thought that as Premier Asquith has not shown himself amenable to our requests the time had come to take more active measures. Our plans were thought out most carefully and we found delight in the opportunity to carry them out on the anniversary of the Grille protest in the house of commons which was perpe- trated by the Women's Freedom league. Our object this morning was to inval- date the election. We had formed various plans and the others would have been tried during the day had this one failed.'
