WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN SWEDEN.
i The highest distinction which has
yet come to the cause of woman
suffrage throughout the world is un
doubtedly the victory won last month
by the suffragists in Sweden, when
by a substantial majority in each
house of the Diet, law was enacted
providing that hereafter all persons,
without distinction OF sex, who shall
have attained a designated age, and
who MI other prescribed conditions.

chise Sweden is an independent
nation whose people are among the
most enlightened on earth, who ap
parently are quite willing to confide
to their women equal powers with
their men in deciding vital questions
OF national welfare and defense. Wo-
man suffrage now obtains in Norway
Finland, New Zealand, and the com
monwealth Of Australia, and in four
of our western states Colorado Wy

for the suffragist cause in Sweden

There was much agitation snd TN

some and feared by Premier Stolypin.
It was rumored that the premier
would resign at once ia the event

would be formed by DournoYo Wit

bill in its favor. To save the Duma
and avert reaction the bill was
adopted.

Literary Dgest-The land ques-
ton has always been the hinge of

and more smoldering revolution of
Russia AT present the common land

For the Russian peasant there has
not been a square foot which ne

Parliament is now seeking to alter

FORGERS
SWINDLE FARMER
Secure Signature of Nick LaFranz
and FORCES note

That a clever gang of swindlers
are operating in the city and sur
rounding country is the belief of the
police officials and Chief of Police
McGovern went to Spokane today
armed with a John Doe warrant with
the view of experimenting one to
whom Nick LaFranz fell victim.
The method employed by the swind-
Ter In the case OF La Franz was the
forging his name to a note for $2O0.
and then having 1t cashed at the Ex-
change National bank. The note was
eashed Monday and the discovery
that 1t was forged was made today
when Mr.. LaFranz arrived In the
city. The swindler appeared at the
ranch of LaFranz last week and
represented to him that he desired
TO purchase his ranch and in the
course of his dealings with that end
in view he secured his signature, and
then afterwards forged II to a note,
and so similar was 1t to that OF La
Franz that It escaped detection at
the bank. LaFranz has given the
officers a good description of the man
and 1t is believed that If he is in
Spokane that the chief will be sue
eessful in apprehending him.
May be Organized Gang.
1t is the belief of the police that
the man who swindled LaFranz is a
member Of an organized gang which
is conducting swindling operations
throughout the Inland Empire coun-
try The methods of the members OF
this gang are to prey upon the farm
ers. and the one generally employed
requires a principal and confederate.
in the carrying out Of this swindle.
The principal viii hire a team and
drive out into the country and visit
some wealthy farmer. and represent
TO him that he anxious to purchase
his place. The deal is generally closed
up by the farmer and swindler put
ting up forfeit money. but not until
the confederate. who has been In
specting some neighboring place
makes his appearance upon the scene
carrying a grip. II is then agreed
between the principal and farmer
that the forfeit shall be placed in the
grip. and that the farmer shall keel
the grip for a few days when the5
will return and pay the remainder Of
the money and close mp the deal
During the deal the sWindIers switch
