BRIGHT NEW PENNIES
They Bear Profile Of the Head Of
Lincoln.

Philadelphia, Pa. July lit was
announced at the United States
mint today that the new coinage of
pennies is complete and will be put
in circulation at once. Instead of
an Indian head the new coins will
bear a profile Of the head of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
This is the first change made In
die of pennies since Just after the
close of the war. During the war
very few coins of any denomination
were minted. The pennies issued
were Of nickel and bore on. their
face a flying eagle. while the reverse
side showed an oaken wreath. TIE
present copper coinage having ON
the face an Indian head was com.

Married in Fort Scott.


Wednesday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Pinkerton were arrivals from
Fort Scott, Kan, where they were
married Tuesday, June %, 1909.
The bride was Rapid City girl un-
til a few years ago, and is we'll
known here as Miss Winona Hall,
daughter of Mrs. Ida Hall. The
family went from here a few years
ago and settled at Crawford. They
then went to Greeley, Col, and last
year Mrs. Hall went to Fort Scott,
but Miss Winona remained in
Greeley, where she had a position.
About six weeks ago she went to
visit her mother-and Bob went for
her and brought her back as his
bride. The affair which had this
pleasant elimination is one of long
planning, and that they may be hap
py is the wish Of many friends. Mrs.
Pinkerton is a charming girl and
will make good wife.
The groom is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wallace Pinkerton, and has
grown up here where he is well and
favorably known. They will live at
the Pinkerton ranch. twelve miles
west of the city until fall, when they
will have a home by themselves.

sUFFRAGETTEs sQUABBLE
Weeping and Distracted Women
Fight for Office.

Seattle. Wash, June 80. - The
state convention of the Women s
Suffragettes association broke up in
row today. which finally became
so fierce that the police were called.
The delegates were divided into two
factions, one headed by Mrs. Mary
A. Hutton, of Spokane, which sought
to depose the present state officers.
The other faction, which was in the
majority, represented Mrs. Emma
Devoe. the present president of the
association, who was seeking re-
election.
In hot debate the women called
one another thieves" "liars,"
"scoundrels" and other names of
even worse import. Some screamed
Historically and Others wept violent
ly. 1t was voted to oust the news
paper men because one telephoned
the police that there was riot in
progress. When the police arrived
they found crowd of weeping, dis
tracted women. Mrs. Hutton was
defeated in her candidacy for presi-
dent Of the association and left the
hall followed by her adherents. Mrs.
Devoe was reelected president as
was the old board of officers.

Vote on Income Tar,

!
Washington. July LIT was near
ly agreed in the senate today to vote
on both the income tar ana corpo-S
ration tax amendments next Tues
day. The compact was prevented
by the objection Of Senator Buckley
Of Connecticut. which created mos
little dissatisfaction. For ! time
the proceedings took the form of i
general pow-wow In which half 81
dozen senators tried to hold tho
floor at the same time. The ms
jority of the senator's present de-
sired to vote on both proposit tions
Tuesday. Buckley was obdurate,
because he expected to be- away. His
colleagues are inclined 10 think
that he will change his mind before
Saturday and give his consent that
the matter be cleared up Tuesdsy.s
Senator Root spoke for the cor
tporation tax and Senator Borah#
against 1t today. Other speakers
for the income tax were Senators
Clapp and Owen.
About, the capitol lobby today
were heard many suggestions for
postponing action on both the In
come and corporation tax questions
until the next session of congress:
While the members Of both houses
are tired and the weather is ex-s
ceedingly hot and all would be glad
for adjournment, there seems to no
one to take the lead and formulate
a plan Of postponement. Republi-
can leaders are afraid OF Offending
the administration II they openly
favor an adjournment without Sact-
ing on the presidents suggestions.

Representative from China Meets
Rapid City Ladies and Gives
Interesting Talk.

Yesterday afternoon at the Bap-
tist Mission Circle, at the home o
Mrs. p. H. Swander, Miss Edna Dale,
of Wuwu, China, was greeted by a
large number of ladies from the
various missionary societies in the
city. Miss Dale is possessed of a
pleasing personality and everyone
present enjoyed her talk.
Miss Dale opened by saying that
she would speak Of some Of the
things that keep China back. First
is the foot binding. which Is an old
custom, and because of its being
the custom is exceedingly hard to
do away with. 1t is generally be-
lieved that because the Empress
Dowager issued an edict against
foot binding that 1t has been largely
done away with. but this is a mis-
take. The government is against
it. but custom is hard to break. The
government is coming to see that the
women must be educated and ele-
waited II they are to improve. In
the schools instituted by the mis-
sionaries the foot binding is not
practiced, and whenever possible the
poor, little, disfigured feet are re-
stored as much as possible to their
normal condition.
Girls there when they marry have
as large dowry as their parents
condition will Justify. Early mar
riages is not common. that Is, not
before sixteen, although early be-
trothals are common, and sometimes
the little girl goes to be her future
mother-in-law's drudge from the
time she is betrothed.
The poor women have many more
privileges than the wealthy, in that
they are not SO secluded.
China is nation Of gamblers,
but it is not an Incorporate nation.
Opium is the fearful curse, and it
Is England's shame that she forced
her opium trade upon the Chinese
until forty per cent are users OF
the drug. The government is working
against it. and is struggling to free
her people. She is no longer a Sleep
ing nation, and they are after edu-
cation. All China Is open to the
gospel. but 1t is hard to overcome
prejudice. More money is needed.
and tie native Christians put this
country to shame when the amount
OF their gifts for the gospel is con-
sidered.
Miss Dale showed many curiosities
she brought with her. and also some
very beautiful Chinese work that
she has for sale. She invited ques-
tions and many took advantage Of
asking her what they wished to
know. At the close of the talk Mrs.
Swander served ice cream and cake,
being assisted by Mrs. L. Carey,
Mrs. F. Schackelford, Mrs. III. e.
Swander and Mrs. v. T. Jensen.

COMMITTEE At WORK
Greater Market Day PROPOSE
ton to be Inaugurated--
First will be Held 24th

M. NJ. Gillem, assisted by COM
mittee of the Business Mems club, is
today making an effort to enlist in
terest in movement for a market
day in Rapid City. He has been in
the city few days and has met with
much encouragement, so much that
meeting was held last evening In
the club rooms at which the propu-
sition was enthusiastically endorsed
by all present. The plans are to de-
nominate one day each month on
which buyers and sellers may be
brought together, and by making the
time known throughout the state.
cause it to, be advantageous to both
parties. BY this manner, farmers,
stockmen and others, who have any,
thing to dispose of, can bring it to
Rapid City and dispose of it much
more readily than at private sale
Auctioneers will be provided and tie
Offering will be placed on competi-
tive bidding, therefore bringing al!
the market will warrant, or lit
tie more as the interest developed
may determine.
The meeting last evening resulted
In determining on July oath as the
date of the first sale, and plans to
make it successful are now going
on. The committee assisting Mr..
Gillem consists of Eugene Bangs, D.
SB. Ingram and DR.. Gilbert, all of
whom are outlining the proposition
to the people of the city today in an
effort to sound public sentiment and
make possible preliminary organiza-
tion for the first sale, after which an
organization of some suitable nature
will develop by which the sale day
movement may be given the proper
impetus to make it the greatest sue
cess
Mr. Gillem has had Tong expert
ence in the work of promoting such
propositions, and has the record of
many successes in cities of 10000
to $4,000, to which he refers all who
desire to be convinced of the merits
Of the market day.
With movement of this kind
properly handled, there is no ques-
tion the city will be benefited to
q considerable extent by the hum
dreds of people brought here and by
the advertising it will give, but
the Black Hills country will be the
real winner as it will afford an ex-
cellent market for everything right
at the door with the greatest con-
venience for the handling. Particu-
larly so will it benefit the stock and
horse markets, as it will bring heavy
buyers and commission men here
from all the leading market centers.

Deposit Guarantee in Kansas.

Topeka, Kas., June 80. - The
bank deposit guaranty law passed by
the last session of the Kansas legis-
lature goes into effect today. While
the law will affect only such banKs
rs elect to comply with it, it is ex-
pected that all of the TIT State
banks in Kansas will place them
selves under its provisions without
delay.
The banks, under the new law,
are to be partners in sort of mutual
insurance company. They will have
to put up million dollars in state
and national securities to guarantee
the payment Of deposits, and the
. dues or insurance premiums will be
only one-twentieth of one per cent
annually.
Briefly stated the law provides
for protection to the following class
es of deposits: Those that do not
bear interest. time certificates pay
able in less than six months from
date, and not extending more than
one year, bearing interest not to ex-
ceed 3 per cent per annum and on
which interest shall cease at ma
turity; savings accounts not ex-
ceeding in amount 500 to any one
person and not subject to check mp
ON which the bank has reserved in
writing the right to require sixty
days notice of withdrawal, and bear.
ing interest at not to exceed 3 pei
cent per annum. Deposits which are
primarily discount or money Dor
rowed by the bank. and all deposit!
otherwise secured, are not guaran
: teed under the act.
Just what effect the new law 4
to have on the national banks fp
pears uncertain. The department
Of justice at Washington having de
cided that the national banks coul,
not participate in the guarante,
