STATE SUFFRAGE
MEET At MADISON
WISCONSIN WOMEN PLAN CAM
PAiGN FOR BALLOT AT AN
NUAL CONVENTION.
PARTY SEEKS 10000 VOTES
Amendment to National Constitution
Granting Equal Suffrage Is Pro-
posed-Suffrage P!anks
Are Urged.

Madison.-The state suffrage con-
vention at the opening session listen
ed to the address of Mrs. H. NJ. You
mans, Waukesha, president, and va
riety of papers on many phases of
the suffrage problem.
The speakers urged the Importance
of a federal amendment and increased
educational work. The resolution for
the amendment to the constitution
was presented by the Rev. Olympia
Brown of Racine. She said that an
amendment was the easiest way and
the most secure method of securing
the ballot for women in all the states.
A resolution was adopted that every
party be asked to put a suffrage plank
in its platform.
Mrs. Henry NJ. Youmans, president,
in her address, said:
cat the last election on woman suf-
frage in Wisconsin a year ago we
polled 1850 votes The opposition
polled 10000 more than we did, so
that, at that time we needed nearly
$4,000 more votes than we received to
win. When our next election on wom-
an suffrage rolls around, some of our
friends will have passed away; posi-
bly, some will have had the bad taste
to change their minds; the population
of the state will have increased. We
shall have to convert 10000 or TO-
600 more men in Wisconsin to the be-
lief III our cause before we women
of Wisconsin can win the ballot.

PLAN BIG POULTRY EXHIBIT
Annual Show of the Wisconsin Associ
alton Will Be Held at Madison
From Jan. to 9.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. are being
made to make the tenth annual show
of the Wisconsin Poultry association,
to be held in the stock pavilion at
Madison on Jan. to 9, 1914, the larg-
est and most representative exhibit
ton of farm and commercial poultry
ever seen in the state
At recent meeting of the directors
OF the association, the purchase of
twenty-five additional sections of coop
ing for the coming exhibition was au-
thorized. This will give the exhibitors
the use of 120 five pen sections of
coping, or accommodations for ap-
proximately 1000 fowls. AS many of
the exhibitors prefer to bring their
own show coops it has been officially
estimated that fully 1900 birds will
be on exhibition at this mid winter
show.
The members of the association and
the poultrymen Of the state, generally.
have taken an unusual interest in the
welfare Of the university poultry plant,
cooperating with James G. Halpin,
poultryman of the college of agricul-
ture, in its enlargement and improve
ment.

DEFY STATE HEALTH BOARD
Teachers and Pupils in Smallpox At
flicted District Decline to I'm
derqo Treatment.

Madison. = School teachers and
children in Mount Horeb and Port
age, where an epidemic of smallpox
has broken out, are defying the state
board of health, which has issued or
ders that all of them be yaccinated
as required by law where contagious
diseases prevail Many of the chill
dren and their instructors have re-
fused and are still attending school
Orders have been issued by the
board of health to the school officials
of both towns to arrest any one who
attends school who can not show a
certificate of vaccination.
At Mount Horeb there are fourteen
cases reported, while at Portage there
are twelve. Local physicians at first
were inclined to report the cases as
chicken pox, but an examination made
by experts for the state left no doubt
that smallpox in a Yirulent form ex-
listed. State officers have been dis
patched to the scene Of the epidemic.

and to this end in the case OF Judas the men
who have played the role have been repeatedly
taken a temporary reprieve from the convict
settlement. Judas has always been literally a
bad and it is recorded that 10 less than
half dozen of him have endeavored to steal the
thirty pieces Of silver-in this case Mexican dol
lars-with which he has been brtbed. OF late
years the fathers have removed the temptation
by binding the bargain with bagful Of broken

WEAPONS A RABBIT USES

The strange fear that seems to parayze rab-
bit when it is attacked by any of the weasel
tribe has often been observed writes F. s. St
Mars in the London Magazine Apparently it
cannot make the slightest effort at defense and
submits to the fatal bite without sign of re-
sistance. That there are exceptional rabbits,
however, appears from an incident that the writ
er once saw. He thus describes it:
Something was creeping very quietly through
the grass. You could tell this only by the wav-
ing of the grass blades About twenty yards
away, out in the field, rabbit squatted in the
afternoon sunshine-a hunched, fat, comfortable
looking gray brown figure. He had been there
for half hour. quite mOtionless
The hidden creature in the long grass was
slowly and surely stalking the rabbit At length
the waving grass stems ceased to move. The
stalker had got to within two yards of the rabbit
and was about to make its rush. The long grass
ceased here, and beyond the stalker had no
cover.
Then, all of a sudden. the rabbit reversed it's
position. 1t did it quickly and quietly that 1
scarcely saw it.
Moreover, although the rabbit still sat as mo-
tionless before, his constantly

hard. The hidden foe had made the b!under of

Then he made his rush. 1t quite slow

The scene of Christ healing the 1epers, pre-
sented at HiVa-oa, is, perhaps the most realistic
tableau in particular at least that is staged
in any of the passion plays. Real lepers appear
on the stage
In the early days of the play the parts of the
lepers were taken by entirely whole and healthy
people, but the missionaries were never able to
make the people understand why with many
genuine lepers ready at hand any make believe
in this particular need be INDUCED in. Finally
several of the lepers themselves, Christian con-
verts, to the fathers and asked what
the of curing a lot of well people in the
play when there were many sick people about
who really needed curing? The upshot of the
matter was that half dozen lepers were al
lowed upon the stage at the next performance
Following the week of the play it is said that
a very marked improvement evident for
several months in the condition of every one
Of the unfortunates that appeared upon the
stage. Since then the missionaries have not
had the heart to refuse the prayers of any OF
those who have come to them at Easter, until
it is necessary to divide the lepers into
squads Of a score more each and allow a diff
ferent squad to appear each night The govern
ment doctor at Hiva-oa has declared that there
has been a marked decrease in the leper NOR
tally of the island since this practice has been
inaugurated.
One of the most interesting characters in the
play is the Judas. From the first it has been
the aim of the fathers to impress the natives as
strongly possible with the real goodness or
badness of the various characters of the play

SMALLER DEMAND FOR LABOR
Approach of Winter Conditions De-
scribed by Statement from State
Free Employment Bureau.

Northumberland for labor is fall
ing off and unemployment is increas-
ing, according to reports received by
the state industrial commission from
the state employment offices.
Help wanted at the Milwaukee free
employment Office decreased 20 per
cent in October, 1913, as compared
with October, 1912. Applications for
work increased almost 20 per cent.
Outside of Milwaukee the decrease in
demand has been slight, but the in
crease in the applications for work
has been very great.
Despite the increase in demand the
state employment Office have found
positions for a greater number OF
workers this year than last: October
1913, 1900; October, 1912, 1900.

Madison.-Dogs running deer may
be confiscated by the state game war

Warden John A. Shots. The deputy
warden at Wausau confiscated two
hounds which were being used by a
l--rty in hunting in Marathon county
and the owner has taken out a writ
of replevin for the recovery of the
dogs. The attorney general further
holds that if the court finds that the
dogs were not running deer then the
owner of the dogs is entitled to the
possession Of his dogs.
