Idaho Suffrage History.

| Looking backward to the Idaho leg
islature Of 1895, period of 20 years
is long time. Five years before that
time, in July, 1890, Idaho was admitted
as a state. The staunch pioneers OF
that day launched into statehood with
beloved Idaho. With the chivalry of
the west the men began the agitation
for the enfranchisement of woman in
Idaho. Like the men of Alaska, they
realized that the pioneer woman had
new empire of the northwest and side
by side with their husbands and broth
ers had builded and planned and suf
fered and worked. 1t is not to be won
dered at that these pioneer men gave
the woman of Idaho the right to vote.
The resolution to amend the constitu-
ton Of Idaho granting to woman the
ballot was adopted by republican
early in January, 1895, with
out opposition. Its ratification or re-
lection was submitted to the voters at
the general election in November, 1896,
and received a majority vote. The
legality of the vote being questioned
the supreme court was appealed to and
the affirmative decision given. Women
voted at the next general election for
the first time in 1898.-Boise News.

Little Alice was to speak in public

arose and walked across the platform
very brayely, but being seized with a
sudden attack of stage fright she could
not find her voice. Something came
up in her throat, making her gulp and
swallow, but no little poem was forth
coming.
Finally, turning frightened face to
her teacher, she gasped, 1--WE swallow

last week not only in London but all over

uted TO this situation, one being the al
most universal slackness of trade and an
other the particular conditions in the Va
rious European countries where European
capital is interested. For example, Argen-
tine crops were reported 10 have been in

tinucs 10 hold the aspect Of a guessing

the possibility Of civil war remains in the

ness was added 10 the others by the re-

causes a fear that complications between
London and Ottawa may ensue, and may

seriousness.
These conditions affecting stock markets
had corresponding effect OF the money
market, which WAS also sluggish, with
rates unchanged and few signs OF activity.

Progress Of the antitrust legislation
at Washington was bcset with some
difficulty. AS had been expected, rep
rcsentativcs of the labor vote were far
from satisfied with provisions of the
law in which their exemption from
prosecution had been clothed, and IL is
not impossible that their objections
may wreck the whole programme for
business regulation. In the mean time
Congressional elections arc drawing
nearer and sentiment throughout the
country is reported as being less favor
able TO the laws which the President is
urging.

weekly return showed only o small in
crease OF less than 10000 In bullion
holdings. Deposits increased. and the
proportion OF reserve to liability, 1910
against i4.Jl the week before, made
most unfavorable comparison with the
average at this season. The loan item,

nearly II. 100000. while circulation suf-
fercd some further slight contraction.
The minimum discount rate of the
bank was maintained at 3 per cent,

A battle in the narrow canon OF
Picardias was in progress between the
reinforcements and Herrera's men and
there were heavy losses on both sides.
There are 5000 men in the Federal
command and Herrera has less than
1000 rebels with which to hold them
back
Advices from Gomez Palacio say
5000 men of the Federal garrison in
Torreon succeeded in escaping from
the city and that Villa now is fighting
a mere remnant of the force of 5000
which originally opposed him.
Heavy fighting was in progress at

Christian Temperance Union. Mrs.
Isabel Shipley is the superintendent,
and has succeeded in bringing a great
deal of comfort into the lives of work
ing women of the colored race who
have homes dependent upon them.
These mothers are brought together
in cheerful meetings and both helped
and taught to better their lot. Ar
rangements are made to assist them
in their necessary purchases and to
help them in their earnings. This
winter the work has been extended to
take in a larger district, the need be-

Juarez, Mex, April 3.-Torreon fell
completely into the hands of the reb-

ments made here by General Venusti-

Latest reports direct from Gomez
Palacio, declare the streets of Torreon
are choked with dead and wounded.
Some of the federals who had been
fighting on the outskirts of the town
fled, but large number of prisoners
who had been defending the barracks
and street barricades were captured.
The rebel soldiers were exhausted
with fighting and when it became
known that the enemy had been routed
most of them fell asleep in the streets
wherever they were:
The first news was conveyed in the
