San Francisco, Oct l9.-Franklin X.
Lane. a member of the interstate COM
merce commission, who is investigating
local railroad rates and who has Just
returned from London, declared that
the English women have won their
battle for equal suffrage.
THE women of Great Britain are
now at the gates of their desi;c," said
he, "and immediate woman suffrage is
certain Their remarkable courage and
unsurpassed energy is amazing.
Intelligent, refined, possessing prop
crty, these women have wagci a cam
paign, the like Of which has never been
known in the worlds history.
"And, when they get the right to
vote. they will WELD power that will
startle the world-a power that will so
far exceed that swayed by American
bosses and parties that our political
powers will pale in comparison.
Talk about the labor unions being
able to sway an election, talk about
capital being able to get what it wants
by means of the ballot! Why, what the
women of England will do when they
get the right of suffrage will be more
far reaching than anything that any
vote-getting combine which America
can boast of has ever accomplished.
''Women's suffrage in England is
coming sure. The vote will be given
individual women, women who depend
upon themselves for support and hold
the necessary qualifications for suf
fragc the ownership of property
Houston, Tex, Oct l9.-Some of the
fairest and brightest women of Dixie,
as true to the Stars and Stripes as
they are loyal to the memory of the
Stars and Bars, are in Houston today
to begin the sixteenth annual reunion
of the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy. For five days the visitors
will be layishly entertained by the
Houston and Galveston chapters, as
sisted by the commercial and patriotic
organizations of the two cities.
One of the most important matters
to be discussed is the proposed discon-
tinuance of prizes heretofore awarded
to students of northern universities
for essays on topics connected with
the confederacy. The Richmond dele
CATION has invited the national organi-
zation to meet in the Confederate cap
ital next year and the invitation will
probably be accepted. Mrs. McSherry,
president of the West Virginia division
of the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, is prominently mentioned as
the next president general, to succeed
Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, of CAL
weston.

A special TO The Journal from
Washington: Owing to the absence
of Commissioner Valentine of the In
dian bureau, it was not possible
to get statement relative to a pro-
bable future action of the Indian Of
flee, following Judge Morris declara
tion that all land covered by treaty
of 1855 is "fndian country" and that
liquor can not be sold thereon.
In his discussions of the application
of this treaty in the past, however
Mr.. Valentine has taken the position
that all the bureau desires is to keep
liquir away from the Indians, and that
treaties and laws would not be in
voked against white men.

Sherburn, Mimi, Oct ia ro-
nance, growing out of a deathbed re-
quest, resulted in the marriage here of
Mrs. Henrietta Dunn, of Syracuse, n.
Y, to Rev. NJ. L. Tibbetts, pastor of
the United Brethren church at Whit
tier, Cal. The bridegroom is seventy
six and the bride ten years his junior
Shortly after the close of the war
the two families were on terms of in
innate acquaintance in Minnesota.
Both men were members of the Min
nesota state legislature and their seats
in the assembly hall were side by side
Later Rev. M. Tibbetts went to
Iowa, where he became prominent as
a minister of his denomination. The
Dunns remained in Minnesota, and
Mr.. Dunn became warden of the Min
nesota state prison.
Eight years ago Mr. Dunn died, and
his widow returned to the east. One
of the last requests made by Mr.. Dunn
before his death was that silver cup,
belonging to him. should be presented
to his old friend and colleague, Tib-
belts, The widow, however, had lost
all track of Mr.. Tibbetts and although
she made an effort to ascertain his
whereabouts, was unable to do so.
BY a mere accident Mr.. Tibbetts
learned, about two years ago, of the
death of Mr.. Dunn, and through a mu-
tual friend secured the address of
the widow. In due time the silver cup
rested in the home of Mr.. Tibbetts,
at Whittier. A year ago Mrs. lib
belts died, and Mr.. Tibbetts opened a
correspondence with his old friends
widow in informing her of the death of
his wife. The old lifelong friendship
was revived, and an engagement fol-
lowed eliminating in the wedding here.
Rev. and Mrs Tibbetts left shortly
after the wedding for Whittier, where

In side Painting.

An experienced painter. has given
the following directions for insile
painting:
Tho first thing Is to have the room
free from dust: the next essential
thing Is to fill the knots OF wood.
flats. They should be frequently trans
prime 1t. which must be made to dry
exceedingly hard in order to stop the
JUNCTION of the wood. otherwise the
second coat will by the operation OF
the brush rub off the printing ut differ
ent parts of the work. and there viii
be no uniformity in the finishing coat,
but II will leave some parts dead and
others OF shining surface. The mi.l'
die coat must be or size, color applied
warm, says the New York Tribune.
Use but little color in your size or 1t
will scale. To prepare knotting grind
some lea hpowtlcr in water and mix II
thing Is to I'LL the knots of the wood
an iron vessel and when used It must
be applied to the knots with n brush
quite warm.
To make printing. mix or grind red
white lead with linseed oil: then 70:
the dryer take n little lhharGe and
burst white vitrlol or patent dryers
which must be ground on q slab very
fine in turpentine. Mix them NIL to
gcther and thin with boiled oil The
burnt vitriol and litharge act. rs II
were. in opposition to each other and
render the paint exceedingly drying;
and the tnrpentine with the boiled oil
prevents the color running. When tho
printing Is dry. fill up the nail holt
and crevlces with putty. Rub the sur

Billings, Mont, May 1.-The county
commissioners of Yellowstone county
have started the ball rolling by ap-
propriating $1,000 for the Dry Farm
ing Congress, which will hold its
fourth session at Billings, Mont, on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
October 26, 81 and %, next.
This action, giving substantial evil
dence of the enthusiasm with which
the people of Montana are taking
hold of the work OF preparing for ap-
propriate entertainment of the COM
ing congress, was taken with prompt
ness when Chairman George Bennig-
hoff of the finance committee of the
state board of control presented the
subject before the commissioners.
BY thus literally assisting the
board of control in raising money to
defray the expenses of the congress
and the International Exposition OF
Dry Farm products which will be
held during congress week at Bill
ings, the Yellowstone county officials
have set a commendable example In
recognizing the dry farming move
ment as one of the largest factors
of the year for attracting the atten-
ton of the country to the resources

The Gordon case has peculiar ram
ifications, extending from Olympia,
the state capital, on the west, to St.
Paul, the head Offices of the railway
company, on the east. Gordon left
the company's employ last fall, going
to Tacoma, and afterward there were
rumors he had embezzled $50, 600 of
his employers funds. Judge Roots
name was linked with these rumors,
which became SO persistent that the
chief justice brought the matter to
the attention of his colleagues and
the state bar association. 1t was
openly stated that Gordon had writ
