amined the common jail of the conn

mits, aud we consider that the Sher-
III and his bailitf, Mr. Adams, de-
serve great credit for the present
satisfactory and sanitary conditions
| therein existing, ltappcars 20 us,
however, that owing to the great in
crease of population ms well as
wealth of ST. Francois County, of
late years, that the present jail is
not large enough, and inadequate
for the demands If same; therefore
urge and recommend that the County
Court purchase the adjoining lot, il
possible, and enlarge tile jail; and
| further recommend that suitable
barn be erected, on said lot con
sisting of iron aud concrete, and II
the purchase of said lot cannot be
p, made, or that IL is impracticable to
do so, that Il barn as above describ'
ed be erected on the present jail LOT
and near the jail as possible sani
tation considered, for the presen
needs of the Sheriff.
INFIRMARY: We visited tn,
County Infirmary and take pleasure
In informing the Court that w

The Michigan state grange has been
supporting many excellent measures
before the state legislature this year.
and the legislators have given q willing
ear to the grange requests. Ten OF the
thirty-two senators and th~irty-seven OF
the 100 representatives are members
Of the grange, which fact explains to q
considerable degree the favorable at
titude Of the legislature A. q whole to
the grange. They have carried to q
successful issue amendments to the
state constitution providing for the ini-
tiative In statutes and amendments to
the constitution and have secured an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for the recall Of of1cials other than
judges. The grange also favored the
bill for the organization Of associations
on the cooperative principle and n to
facilitate the shipment Of live stock
within the state. Cooperative work
among the oranges has been pushed
the past winter harder than ever. and
cooperative selling associations are be-
ing organized and placed under the
supervision and direction Of an expert.
The membership of the grange in Mich

"sURN THEIR DINNERS" GERMAN sUFFRAGETTE WRITES TO
 HER ENGLISH SISTERS.
KIDNAPPING PLOT DISCOVERED
Police Learn Son of Judoe Who Sen tenced Mrs. Pankhurst Is in Danger-More Buildings
 to Be Burned.

London, April 26-"A burned din her has far more value for convincing Englishmen that something is wrong than merely burned villa"
 This was the burden of letter from Frau Duerrin, a prominent German suffragist of Nuremberg, advising the British militants to adopt the house hold boycott" which was made pub lie by the Women's Social and Po- litical Union.
 The Household boycott" means re- fusal by the women to perform house hold duties, Frau Duerrin explained.
 You English women should drop militancy and adopt this plan. It would be far more effective. I would even neglect the children and make the men dress them.
 Sauce for the Goose"
 By household boycott you would enforce on men that division of labor between the sexes which We hear so much about. Men tell us that women should not meddle in politics because politics is mems affairs, and women S affair is at home. Yet every husband, while keeping his wife out of politics, meddles in home affairs and thereby rejects his own principle.
 Let the men get their own meals, look after their children, attend to their own clothes and in a few days they would yearn after their old half authority in the home and be more than willing to give the women half authority in politics.
 Bomb Intended for Burns.
 The police believe that the suffra- Gette bomb exploded in the Manches- ter Free Trade hall was intended for John Burns, president of the board of trade. Burns was to have spoken a few minutes after the bomb shattered a big window.
