armful of petitions containing twelve
thousan names demanding absolute
equal suffrage. An effort was made to
defer action but without avail, Morris
proposed to amend by substituting
actual equal suffrage for the Whiting
bill and a red hot scrap resulted in
the adoption of the amendment by

EQUAL SUFFRAGE WON
A Smooth Piece of Legislation Was
Enacted in the House to Pass
Woman Suffrage Bill.

OSiieS
The Pierre Capital-Journal has the
following article on the work OF the
house in passing the bill concerning
the equal suffrage movement, which
has been worked through that body
by some clever manipulating:
During tho experience OF a num-
Der of legislative sessions, many
smooth plays have been put
through which called out comment
for the manner in which they have
been worked, but the move in the
house at yesterdays session, which
resulted i the adoption of an equal
suffrage amendment, showed either
the work of a master hand, or the
combination of circumstances, which
could not likely occur again In many
years. The principals in the move
deny that there was any understands
ing as to the dctils, and probably
most of the work was on the spur
of the moment as they sug-
! gest. At the same time there
| was a grim humor in it so fer at
least as one member of the house
is concerned and a class which he
apparently fails to enjoy as others
do.
The house was droning along
on final action on bills, with the
| Whiting resolution Giving women
suffrage on liquor questions far
down the calendar list, and the wo-
men in the lobby wondered if the
| house would get to that to them
| important measure, before they
would have to leave to "get supper"
In the middle of the drag, Englesby
sent up a resolution stating that
it was being asserted in the papers
of the state that a petition signed
!! by twelve thousand residents of the
state was being ignored by the house
members. He asked that the chief
| clerk ascertain if such a petition
was in existence, and if SO to bring
! it before the house. He then started
to read a newspaper clipping con
tanning the charge, when Represen-
tative Fitch marched up from his
desk with a huge roll under each
| arm and deposited 1t on the desk OF
the clerk, who announced the ar
rival of the list. Morris at once NOV
| ed that SO long as the question was
| up, that House Resolution No 81,
| by Whiting be advanced on the cal
endar. This vas done, bringing up
| Writings limited suffrage resolution
for action. Morris moved to strike
out practically all of it except the
name of the introducer, and substi-
| tute in it's stead a resolution for I'M
limited suffrage
''The amendment was fought by
| Whiting and others, but was adopted
by a good majority, and the resolu-
| ton passed by a vote OF 6S to- Is.
Whiting, who fras all along oppose l
unlimited suffrage, and Fitch one OF
| it's strongest advocates. had intro
duced practically like resolutions,
but the Fitch resolution was allowed
to drop, and the Whiting resolution
taken up for play, leaving him spon-
sor for a resolution which he refused
to support, and which he opposed
with all the language at his com
mand until the gavel OF the speaker
trapped time on him, and he went
down to defeat with arms and colors
waving.

luton almost unanimously early IL

two daughters. Sister Griffin pro-
fcssed hope in Christ in the fall
of 1879 at Three Rivers Church,
under the ministry of Rev. Mckay,
and united with the Baptist Church
at that place and lived an exemplary
Christian life until God said at is
enough, come up higher" Besides
the husband and children she leaves
two brothers, three sisters and II
host of friends to mourn their loss
Too much cannot be said in favor
of Sister Grifiln's religious and
home life. When she and Mr. Grit
fin were married there were her own
children, Mr.. Griflin's children by n
former wife, and later on her child
rem by Mr.. Griffin, making three
sets Of children she had to care for,
and ii is said by those who knew
them best that there was never n
jar In the home, all the children
loving her as their own mother.
Some fifteen years ago she became
afflicted with something like st.
Nitus dance, which batfled the skill
of all physicians. and all those
years she was constant sufferer,
gradually growing worse until last
Sunday about | p. m, while sitting
I'm her chair, she suddenly fell to the
floor. A physician was summoned,
but she died before he arrived.
Sister Griffin has fulfilled her
mission on earth and has gone to
where Affections are unknown. She
was true to her Church, to her God
and to her family. Her funeral
was conducted by the writer at Sa-
lem Church, after which her re-
mains were laid to rest in the Salem
cemetery to await the time when
they that are In their graves shall
hear the voice Of the Son of God
and shall come forth, they that
have done good to eternal happiness
and they that have done evil to
eternal condemnation. May God
comfort the bereaved ones and help
them to live such lives that they
can meet the dear one they have
lost for awhile.

Better let wcll-cnough alone. There
was recently added to the cpnstitu-

amendment which Is very distasteful
to the special interests that are in
the habit OF law-making to suit
themselves by means of the lobby.
The amendment is the initiative and

Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism
of the muscles of the neck. II is
usually confined TO one side, or to
the back of the neck and one side.
While it Is often quite painful, quick
relief may be had by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment. Not one case
of rheumatism in ten requires in
tcrnal treatment. When there il no
fever and no swelling as in muscular
and chronic rheumatism, Chamber
lain's Liniment will accomplish
more than any internal treatment.

A PEMIsCoT COUNTY STORY.

Walter Jamison, living two miles
from town, says the Charlottesville
Democrat, had barrel of fresh
rain water turn to an oily like sub
stance last Monday night. He and
his neighbors are greatly puzzled
, over the phenomenon, and Mr.. ia
mison brought a bottle of the water
to town last Wednesday, seeking
some information or light upon the
matter. He knows the water was
absolutely pure Monday evening, 1t
being barrel Of water kept for
family use, and early Tuesday
morning Ii was so thick it could
hardly be stirred with dipper. 1t
was as clear as ever, but had "A
slight odOr, peculiar and indescrib-
able. The barrel was so situated
that il is certain nothing was placed
in it. On Monday night il will be
remembered that there was heavy
thunder and frequent incandescent
names OF lightning dashed from the
clouds to the earth, and 1t is a the
DRY of local scientist that one of
these ethereal blazes of fire uncoiled
itself in this barrel Of water, which
suddenly transformed 1t into atmos-
pheric oil, n substance more rare
and powerful than radium. 1t is
perfectly harmless, under certain
conditions, but II 1t proves to be
the substance suspected this barrel
full, If properly applied, Is sufficient
to cause an explosion that would
shatter this earth into fragmental
jiblets. II is hoped the bottle full
now In this city will be carefully
guarded until its real nature is
definitely settled.

BUSINESS COLLEGE NOTES

/ John Neidert Is doing stenographic
work in the Office of President
Moothnrt this week.
Miss Myrtle Benedict, one Of our
deserving students, is reported sick
at her home in Fiat River.
Ed. Cunningham expects to pass
his graduating test in the near flu
turc and go to st. Louis to secure II
stenographic position.
The following students have
passed shorthand tests since the
last notes: Misses NJ. Soldine and
Maybelle Brown the second, Misses
Irene McManus and Ruth Gibbs the
first.
Letters received by the writer and
students from Miss Myrtle Bradley
who is private secretary to Senator
Bradley at Jefferson City, report
that she is enjoying her work and
getting along nicely.
President MOothart has call for
II competent stenographcr and book
keeper, 1t Is good position, but he
has no student to recommend at
present, all qualified being out in
| satisfactory positions. A graduate
from some other Business college
not employed may secure the place
by writing Mr.. Moothart regarding
the same.
This merely substanitates what
we have repeated IN the columns of
this paper from time to time, that
the demand for our graduates IN
greater than we are able to meet
and in view of this fact the young
people of Pennington and vicinity
have an excellent opportunity to
prepare for good paying positions
that will employ them twelve months
each year.
We are pleased to report an en-
rollment Of four new students this
week, as follows: Miss Lizzie
Flanery of DeLassus, Miss Matte
Mccormack of II. +. ID. No. 2,
Pennington; II. G. Johnson, Ro-
selle, Madison county, and Taylor
Smith, son oJ Congressman NJ. II.
Smith, of Pennington. Miss Me-
Cormack and Mr.. Johnson are
school teachers, but have concluded
that business college education
offers greater Inducements to young
people than rural school teaching,
and the writer certainly commends
their judgment.

THE BIG BOTTOrI DITCH

A decision was rendered in the
supreme court Monday in the ia
nous Big Bottom Ditch case, which
has been tied up in the courts for
the past three years.
The county court granted the
petition of certain land owners for
the creation of drainage dis
trict, but parties who objected to
the ditch appealed to the circuit
court. The circuit court found in
favor of the petitioners, and the
opposers then appealed to the SUI
preme court. The decision of the
supreme colrt is in favor of the
opposers to the extent that the
court has reversed and remanded
the suit, with instructions to the
circuit court to dismiss the appeal
from the county court and remand
the case back to the county court.
In just what condition this leaves
the suit and where it will finally
end, we are unable to say.
