NO woMAN's SUFFRAGE
House Voted to Oppose Submission of
the Question of Woman's suf-
frage to Voters.

Pierre. Feb. 2.-The hopes of the
advocates of woman's suffrage have
gone glimmering again after being
raised to a high pitch of expectant
certainty. A large delegation of the
most earnest of the state workers
have been here almost from the be
ginning of the session and the sue
cess in the senate strengthened the
belief that the house also would sub
nit When the topic came up for
consideration of the house resolu-
ton, Taylor moved the substitution
of the senate resolution which pre-
vailed and Forbes moved to amend
the latter by striking out the proper

Stepped AT SIOUX CITY
Charles Gardner and Family We're
Held at Sioux City and Will be
Brought Here.

Sheriff. Plotner has been on the
track Of Charles w. Gardner, who
is wanted Dor leaving the state with
m%ortgaged property. On Friday
night of hst week Gardner, who
has been lining in the Stearns resi-
dence on tho south side for several
months, loaded all his belongings and
then some In a Milwaukee freight
car and started for Oklahoma. Among
the things in his car was a team of
horses on which there was a chattel
mortgage, and the owner of the mort
gage started Sheriff Plotner for Kan
a City in the hope of intercepting
Gardner.
He came to grief sooner than was
expected When Gardner left here
he took his wife and children and
placed them in the car with him, and
arranged to pay the freight on the
Car when it arrived at it's destination
in Oklahoma. On reaching Sioux City
the car inspector discovered all
the people who were riding without
tickets, and when fare was demanded
of Gardner for the members of his
family he was unable to put up the
money. Then the official demanded
the freight on the car of goods, and
again Gardner was up against it.
The officials at Sioux City took charge
of the house hold goods and the
horses to make good the freight
charges. Sheriff Plotner was informed
at Kansas City of the trouble Card
ner was in and Deputy Sheriff Cook
wired the sheriff at Sioux City to
place Gardner under arrest. Mr.
Plotner reached Sioux City Wednes-
day morning.
Gardner not only got away with
the team of horses, it is stated, but
he left with about $50 worth of fur
niture for which he still owed, and
he agreed to settle before he went
away. Several University students
are also losers of clothes to the
amount of about $50, which had been
left in the house, supposing that they
were safe. Gardner had not paid any
rent on the house for two months.
From reports it is evident that he
has been IN hard luck for the last
six months, having sicksess in his
family and other troubles to contend
with. One of his creditors gave it
as his opinion that he thought Card
ner made up his mind that the
easiest way to settle his obligations
was to pull up and leave the country,
and try and secure another start else
where. 1t is probable he might have
gotten through had he not attempted
to carry his family through as freight.
1t is stated that the conductor in
charge of the train lost his position
when it was learned that the family
rode in the freight car.

PRETTY MUSICAL COMEDY
Miss Gear Made Fast Friends With
Mitchell People When She Pre-
sented the Comedy.

That all musical comedies are not
alike was aptly demonstrated when
Miss Florence Gear presented "Mar-
'rying Mary at the Gale theatre
Tuesday evening. The incidents and
songs of Marrying Mary" shows that
musical comedy can be placed on a
high plane and still be immensely
amusing-not of the rip-snorting
character, but the quaint, dainty
comedy that really appeals to an aud
fence of a general character and
manages to receive the hearty ap-
probation of all.
Miss Gear in the leading role GER
tainly has enough troubles thrust up
on her in the matrimonial line, but
the ease and grace with which she
disposes of her liege lords of the
past and assumes a new one is done
with much amusement. Miss Gear APP
peared in several very pretty and at
tractive songs, notably "Starland,"
as the spotlight was turned on her
face and she was enveloped in dark
ness, and again when she sang "I'm
so Lonely" when she used a mirror
to turn the spotlight on a number Of
people in the audience. 1t was an
entirely new stunt and created some
CONSERVATION in some quarters when
the light was focused on them. Miss
Gear and Mr.. Karl sang a fine duet
in "Do, Re, Mi, Fa,' with the semi
operate style. Miss Gear made the
greatest hit with the audience that
was ever accomplished in this city
by a lady in a musical comedy, and
the hearts of the people warmed to
her every passing moment. She APP
peared to be having as much enjoy
ment out of it all as were her audi
tors. Her support was good, particu-
lar in Mr.. Karl, who sang a solo in
excellent voice, Mr.. Roche, who sang
''Noah," with the chorus girls, and
who was called back six or seven
times, while Mr.. Campbell, Mr.. Han
ley and Mr.. Roche received nearly as
great a compliment in their trio. Mr..
Benham, the last of marrying
Mary's" husbands was very accept
able in the role. The young ladies in
the chorus sang we'll and were busy
while they were on the stage. Mr.
Koolish and DR.. H. M. Mcdonald as.
sisted in the orchestra numbers be.
tween the curtains.
This evening James j. Corb-
bett. the gentlemanly prize fighter
will come to Mitchell in a farcica,
comedy, "Facing the Music" Because
Mr.. Corbett was once the hero Of the
sawdust ring, it is no indication thai
he is not an actor, and he come:
heralded as a very capable man or
the stage and makes as good there al

UNIVERSITY NOTES

O0VUV u D UVOu3O
Don Osbon, who vas a substitute
on the Varsity squad here two years
ago and last year played left half on
the Huron college team, will lead
the Huron team as captain this fall,
having been elected at a recent meet
ing of the team.
Miss Ethel Jayne has been suffer-
ing lately from a slight attack Of
illness.
Nina Hager was down from Huron
the first of the week visiting re-
latives and friends around the Uni
versity. At the present time she is
a student at Huron college.
On Thursday the 2Sth, there were
nc classes held on account of it be-
ing the annual day of prayer for
Methodist colleges. In the forenoon
services were held in the chapel. Rev.
Thibodeau, Of Madison, preaching
the sermon.
The faculty committee of the de-
batting league has reported as mem
bers of the team for the ladies debate
with Huron: Misses Ethel Shepherd,
Bessie Howard, and Judith Gregu-
son. The first two debaters have had
considerable experience in inter-soc-
iety debates and as Miss Greguson
does not appear to be a novice at
the work there is every indication
that the team this year will make
as good a showing as the one last
year, which received a unanimous
decision from the hands of the
judges.
The revival meetings, which are
of the school, have been started in
the chapel and will probably con-
tinue in the evenings for the next
few weeks.
Prof. G. A. Warfeld, of the de-
partment of history and social sci
ence was an interesting leader of
the downtown Y. M. G. A. meeting
last Sunday afternoon.
During the recent stock show
many of the students entertained
friends and relatives from the homes
throughout the state.
Walter Seaman '0S is making con-
siderable of a success as n of the
editors on a daily at Lewiston, Mon
tana.
John Auckland 'O8 has been visit
ing with University friends the past
few days on his way back from his
hunting trip to the state of Washing
ton. He will probably DON re-enter
the employ Of the Redpath Lyceum
Bureau.
During the recent snowstorm and
blizzard of last Thursday night the
g%randstand at the Athletic park was
unroofed. This will probably n%ecessi-
tate another building 'bee" next
spring.
Ex-Professor T. F. Graham was
in town the first of the week in con-
junction with the appearance here
of the College Singing Girls on the
lecture course. His home is now at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
On account of the severe cold
spell of last Friday classes were dis
missed in those rooms which it was
impossible to heat.
The following taken from the Red
field Journal-Observer indicates the
present Whereabouts and occupation
of one of last years Junior class: "Le-
roy II. Morris who is now located in
Aberdeen, has organized several
classes in violin and voice at Aber-
deem, Mellette, Worthwhile and Ash
ton. Roy, as most of his friends here
know him, has made splendid pro-
gress in his musical education since
going to Mitchell and is we'll quail
fed to make a success of his present
undertaking."

IS CAUGHT
HARRY TEMPLE, MESSENGER BOY, CAPTURES CELEBRITY AND
 FIFTEEN DOLLARS.

"Raffes" is no longer. Last night at the Majestic theater he was caught by the clever Sheerluck Holmes work of Harry Temple, messenger boy and his identity we'll known. The person who has been masquerading as Rallies for the past three days is George Rear don.
 Reardon had a numbe, of close calls before he was finally saluted with the proper phrase. He could not escape Harry Temple, tho messenger boy, how ever, and just as he was leaving the house at the end of the first perform ance last night, he was caught and compelled to turn over the fifteen simoleons.
 Temple earned the money. As soon as Manager Tupper announced that . price had been placed on the head of Rallies, he decided to get the money. Accordingly he visited every perform ance, accosting every one who had any resemblance of the mysterious stranger until he finally effected tn capture.
 Rallies and his captor were intro duced to the audience at the second per formance and the prize money paid to Temple.

knows that it is located well within the confines of Yavapai county. He also claims that several other responsible taxpayers of Marieopa county are ready 10 back his statement under oath. On the other hand, MT. Hough claims that he can support his affidavit by sever al other responsible taxpayers who will swear that the place is in Maricopa county.
 In support of the action of his board in rejecting the Hough claim, the clerk of the Maricopa board called Hough s attention that the fact that Dead Man s Canyon, according to the best maps of the territory, was located in Gila coun- ty, advising Hough to file his bounty claim there.
 Hough further insisted that the place where the owners of the disputed hides met death is within the boundaries of Maricopa county. He informed the clerk that in case the claim was not paid he would call the attention of the Yavapai authorities to the fact that Maricopa authorities had been collect ing taxes on cattle grazing on the rang es within Yavapai county several years and would file his claim for the bounty here.
 The clerk of the Maricopa board for warded the hides to Clerk Peter of the Yavapai board, who received the hides, claims and correspondence yesterday.
 The Yavapai county supervisors can not pay the claim under the law as the lion slayer claims in his affidavit that the lions were killed in Maricopa coun- ty.
 Many of the stockmen of the region whose interests have suffered from the ravages of the lion pests pay taxes in Maricopa and Yavapai counties. Hough, who lives at Pine, claims that he was urged to go after the lions by the stock owners, and succeeded in killing the three animals after suffering many. pri- vations in the hunt, which lasted sever al days

WHAT MAKES A PRIMA DONNA
Oscar Hammerstein Says the American
 Girl Has the Three Requisites

The ideal prima Gonaa must compass three requisites to deserve her name: head, heart and vocal chords! And no two are worth much without the third! It is strange thas no woman reaches her full meaning ip the world, especial ly if she expresses Shat meaning musi- cally, without passing through sor- rowing, struggling pastl It is that which molds her, says Oscar Hammer stein in the April Delineator, It is the speech of the soul in the child-song, the mother-song, the hero song, that shuts out the world and helps us to breast the tides which bear us to some new and truer sense of life;s vast possibilities. This soul-speech is never learned save through one teacher-7cxperienee; and, alas, by the time tho pupil is perfect in the lesson and knows what it is all good for, she is no longer young!
 All the possibilities embodied in the American girl, never heard of in grand opera fifty years ago, but with record during the latter half of the nineteenth century which forcshadows the future. A few moro years will see her radiant combination of character. beauty, dra- matic ability and voiec-the ideal queen of song.
 A generation ago when an impresario ventured to present an American sing CT to her copntrymen, he did so on the strength of European reputation, and gave foreign twist to her name. When Lillian Norton made her first appearance with Patti, in the old Acad- emy of Music, she attracted very little notice; but the Italianized Nordica and halo Of European glory won long and loud applause. Twenty years have rad ically charged that situation, and Ger aldinc Farrar's own honest name does not imperil her supremacy.
 When the great PEOPLE of Amer ica--not a few capitalists and devotees of fashion--demand grand opera and make its support the same serious bus mess which continental Europe has done for three centuries, we shall not send abroad for our dramatic singers. It was in A. D. 1891 that Tuscan Margari- ta de l'Epine inaugurated the fashion in England so industriously copied by Patti in America-an annual "positive- ly last appearance. In A. D. 1891 Mary Smith may just as reasonably be expected to hold the Italian populace in thrill by the magic of her American voice.
