The Woman Slnrage Movement
Has Reached Japan.
Takes Form of Constant Dis.
cussi0n in Public Prints.
TWO MILuONAIRES CAN VOTE

Schools Bring Degeneration
Among Boys and Girls.

Toxic, Dec. 27.-The constant dis
cussion in Japanese newspapers and
magazines Of the questions of wo-
mems rights and woman suffrage
serves as q striking example of the
rapidity with which western thought
and western ideas are being assimi-
lated in Japan.
Today the supporters Of the wo-
over the fact that two women million
aires Of Toxic have won the right to
vote at municipal and ward elections.
The municipal regulations grant the
right of suffrage to any subject of the
Japanese empire paying larger
amount Of direct city taxes than that
paid by any of the three highest tax
paying male subjects over twenty-five
years of age. The woman suffrage
advocates contended that this clause
permits women to vote II their prop
erty qualifications were sufficient, and
the home Office upheld the contention.
An important monthly magazine
has placed set of questions before
noted Japanese women on the future
of the sex in Japan. propounding such
queries as what can be done to i'm
prove tho condition of the Japanese
women; requesting opinions as to the
suffrage movement in the west, as
well as the question of social indie
pendence, and in a general way the
growing tendency of woman to de-
mand the same rights as man.
A summary of the replies indicates
an opinion that Japan is not yet ripe
for the suffrage movement. AS the
stress OF living grows keener, the
number of spinsters. the writers say,
will increase in the east as in the west.
When that time comes the women
here may with justice claim an en-
actment Of the same law for woman
as for man. Mrs. Haru Hatoyama
says: such a tendency may be
averted in Japan II women foster
such national virtues as chastity,
faithfulness. industry, thrift, patience
and simplicity
No two opinions are expressed.

Some women are outspoken and
others are reserved. One writes:
'Small. helpless things are the Japan
ese women Of today. Before talking
of giving them the suffrage, they
should be given the right of self-gov-
eminent at home"
Another says: Let us not forget
that the duty Of a woman is to help
her husband in looking after the
home and children. The independ-
ence of woman in the noblest sense of
the phrase is to be desired, but at
the same time the inherent spirit of
self-sacriffce in woman should not be
destroyed"

DISCING wheat
gets BLACK EYE

Fessenden, N. i D., Aug. %. - This
will probably be the last year a great
many of the farmers in North Dakota
Will attempt to plant wheat in stub
BILE land by only discing the soil. This
year has proven to them better culti-
walton is necessary if the moisture is
to be conserved. The faulty farmer
has found that his yield will be con-
siderably short of that of his neighbor
who farmed his land along modern
methods and was energetic to see to
1t that his soil was we'll titled.
\ Most of the farmers in Wells coun-
ty are of the Senterprising kind. They
realize the benefits to be realized BY
practicing better Farming methods and
as result they have a banner crop
this year. Their grain is Of excellent
quality, and while the general yield
may not be as heavy as that of last
year they will realize fully as much
from their efforts as they did last
year.
The county fair held here ine July
was success and though it was held
early in the season the resources of
Wells county were set forth in a
creditable manner. 1t is very likely
that Wells county will have an exhibit
at the state exposition at Bismarck
this year. There is considerable dis
position here favoring the idea but it
will require the services of some one
well qualified for the task to lead the
movement and take charge of gather
ing the products. So far no action
has been taken but it could be put
under headway, with but little en-
couragement.
The subject Of crops is the main
issue in this section just at present
and no one seems to be paying any at
tention to the political situation of
either the county or the state.
Threshing will soon be under headway
in full blast. There seems to be no
complaint relative to the help situa-
ton and if the present weather only
continues in another month the crop
of grain will be out of the. way at an
exceptionally early period and large
amount of fall plowing will be done.
Some of the farmers have already
started plowing. 'T

FARMER LOST
$1,000 Savings
CARRIED THE MONEY TIED UP
IN BANDANA IN HIS COAT
HOBOES FOUND 1T.

Hankinson, N. D., Aug. 28.--Leon-
ard Schaeffer, a farmer near here,
will probably be a heavy deposit Or
in the banks hereafter. Schaeffes'
has always carried his money with
him and when, while returning from
town he missed his coat containing over
$1,000 in currency. he had a tchill.
He told neighbor of the loss and
the neighbor notified the chief Of
police of Hankinson.
Meanwhile three hoboes found the
coat and caught ride with another
farmer to town, dropping off at the
outskirts. Chief Of Police George +.
Phillips found the farmer and started
west along the track in search for
the men. They overlook one and
picked him UP and a little later
caught the other two, and all three
were brought to this city The mo-
ney had been split up between the
men but the red bandana purse was
missing. Schaeffer was called on tile
telephone and informed of the recov-
cry Of his hoardings.
Schaeffer hotly demanded the
handkerchief and in disgust the chief
finally recovered it. The money was
placed in the bank. Schaeffer is an
old timer here and widely known
His distrust in banks led to his hoard
ing his money in the house and about
his person, and it is said that the
panic lin Cleevland's time and the
one of 1907 never even interested him.
All his money was in hiding.
The hoboes thoroughly enjoyed the
farmers persistent demand for his
bandana purse and there being no
charge against them they were finally
let go. Assured that his bandana was
safe Schaeffer hung up the receiver.

GIRL Suicides
BY SHOOTING

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 28.--Miss Elsie
Carlson, aged II, living with her sis
ter, Mrs. John Eliason, in Glenview
township, about fourteen miles north
Of Bismarck, committed suicide by
shooting.
She had been very respondent for
several days, insisting, on being alone.
However, her condition was not such
as to arouse suspicion. At the time
she took her life there was no one near
and no shot was heard. The family,
returning to the house, found her back
of the house, gun in hand, dead The
gun was of % caliber, the shot taking
effect in the throat directly under the
chin. Death was instantaneous.
Deceased was daughter of L. A.
Carlson, well known farmer, living
near Painted Woods lake, in Mclean
county. Her mother died at her birth.
Besides her father she leaves several
brothers and sisters.
No cause for the deed is assigned
aside from dependency, as she had
had no trouble to cause the act.
The father of the dead girl was in
Bismarck, securing casket, but it was
not learned when the funeral will be
held. as .,s.. 5..r
