The opening guns of the Woman
Suffrage campaign in this State
have already been fired, but the
first important event of the fight for
the ballot in Washington will be
the meeting at Seattle, July list, Of
the National Woman's Suffrage
Association. Thousands of women
will be in the city from all parts OF
the country, and Victory in 1907
will be the slogan of the week. Rev.
Anna Shaw, National President Of
the Association, will travel across
the State in the Suffrage Special on
June 29th and make speeches from
the platform at leading cities. The
special train will be crowded with
Suffragists, will be deco rated with
yellow, the suffrage color, and will
be great campaign advertisement.
The women are beginning early in
their fight for votes in 1910, and
their efforts are bound to win re-
suits.

One of the largest athletic events
events ever conducted in the North
west will be the intercollegiate track
and field meet between the six col
leges of the Northwest, which will
take place on the Stadium of thea. :
Y.-P. Exposition, June 14th. The
colleges entering are Idaho, Whit
man, Washington State, Oregon
Agricultural and Washington. These
six institutions have never met be-
fore in single athletic event, and
the coming meet is attracting the
attention of college men and sport
lovers all over the Northwest. The
new stadium is amply capable of
accommodating such an event, and
is already completed. VIM. Inglis,
Director of Athletics at the Expo
sition, has already sent out entry
blanks and completed arrangements
for the big contest.

CLAIMS HUSBAND LURED
FROM HOME BY WOMAN
Wife Sues to Recover 100000 Be-
cause of Alleged Alienation Of
Spouse's Affections

That Alonzo Hornby has been al
lured from his home by the Wiles of
Mabel j. Watson after more than
forty years married life is the accu-
sation made by Hornby's wife, Mrs. Ida
NJ. Hornby, in a complaint filed in the
superior court yesterday, in which
damages of 100000 are demanded on
account of alleged alienation of affec-
tions.
The suit is against Mabel J. Watson,
and to prevent her husband and Mrs.
Watson from evadng the trial of the
action Mrs. Hornby secured a court
order restraining them from depart
ing on a trip to Europe, and further
more that Mrs. Watson be enioined
from living with or communicating
with Hornby.
The Hornbys were married October
Is, 1868, and, according to the Wfe's
complaint her husband was induced
by Mrs. Watson to leave her July ]
last.
The restraining order is set for hear
ing in Judge Conrey's court next Mon
day.
