BACKYARD FENCE GOSSIP is BARRED
by UP-TO-DATE KANSAS WOMEN VOTERS

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 27.-After No
vember 4, in Kansas, back door and
back yard gossip among women Is
to be dispensed with. The obligations
of citizenship brought about by the
granting of the ballot, it is argued,
will put this habit and diversion into
the discard.
Mrs. Elizabeth Callan, editor Of the
Pittsburg Kansan, was the first Kansas
woman to life her voice against the
neighborhood gossip and the spreading
of bits of scandal down the line
across back yard fences. This was last
December, when she organized the
Women of Pittsburg into the Women's
Study club.
Stern responsibilities press upon rs
now she told her neighbors. "The
men have granted us the privileges OF
the ballot We no longer can sit down
and fold out hands and gossip about
each other. The women of Kansas now
have problems CT government and the
intricacies of politics to study, and
they will have neither the time nor thu
inclination to discuss frivolous rumors
and interesting neighborhood personal
suggestions over the back fence. the
minds of women are to be turned "a
something useful, elevating and equal
|ly absorbing"
In every county In Kansas the conf
ing fall and winter the local branches
cf the Women's Good Government club

questions and responsibilities thai

WOMAN MURDERED;
BODY HIDDEN IN
WATERS OF RIVER
GHOSTLY Find AT FLINTSIDE
Well Dressed NeqfesS Killed
NOar Here

Flintside, near Americas, was the
scene yesterday of a CHASTITY discovery
when the body of a we'll dressed young
woman, apparently twenty or twenty
five years of age, was dragged from
the muddy waters of Flint river. The
body had been found near the ferry by
Mr.. Henry Hayslip, the ferryman, who
notified Coroner Ed Jenkins. An in
quest was held at Cnce.
The body was weighted down with
heavy pieces of iron, tied about the
neck with a rope. In contrast with
the CHASTITY rope around the neck was
handsome gold necklace, evidencing
the fact that robbery had not been
the incentive for the murder.
Besides the gold necklace, the dead
woman wore a valuable signet ring of
handsome design. The body was az
tired in a black silk waist and black
silk skirt The limbs were encased In
silk hose, while upon the feet were
patent leather pumps, No. 4. The wo-
man was of dark "ginger-cake" shade,
and would probably have weighed
about 1875 or 100 pounds.
Many people viewed the body, but
no one knew the murdered woman or
had ever seen her.
The body had, without doubt, been
dumped into the river several days
ago and at the point where the ferry
man, Mr.. Hayslip discovered it, as
the heavy iron weights tied to it pre-
cluded any possibility of it having
fioated there from any point above the
ferry. She was evidently killed at or
near the scene, and the body thrown
with its weights into the river.
The coroner's jury, Messrs. w. J.
Hill, foreman; G. C. Thomas, M. S.
Bowen, S. B. Matthews, A. B. Hayslip
and L. H. Goode, rendered verdict to
the effect that the deceased had met
death at the hands of unknown par
ties.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 27-On the
