interesting MeeClng Wednesday.
The Junior Suffrage Club of Keno
sha met Wednesday afternoon with
Miss Isabelle King for the election of
officers. Miss Edna Bond was unani-
mously elected president by acclama-
ton and an informal ballot resulted in
the choice Of Miss Isabelle King for
vice president and Miss Eleanor Casey
for secretary and treasurer. Their
share of the work for the suffrage self
denial day was enthusiastically dis
cussed and the suggestion was made
that their first act Of self denial should
be public statement of how they
would earn or save money to swell the
campaign fund in hopes others would
be inspired to follow their example.
The young women present made the
following resolutions. Miss Edna Bond
will donate the premium earned from
magazine subscriptions. Miss Helen
Peterson will cook the meals during
the time that her mother is moving in
to their new home on Park avenue.

Old Letter Presented to Historical Soci-
ETY. Relates Their Experiences.

The sufferings and experiences of the
argonauts who joined In the mad race
across the continent following the dis
covery of gold in California, are wildly
set forth in an old letter among the
papers of George w. Lakin, which his
daughter has recently presented to the
Historical Society.
The writer of the letter, DR.. Cronin,
left Galena, Illinois, March 26, 1850,
and reached Sacramento July Is, fol
lowing. OF the journey, although he
himself came through in good health
and fine spirits" DR.. Cronin writes:
81 saw more suffering among those that
had lost their animals and were out of
provisions, than / ever wish to witness
again. I could not see the poor fellows
come up to the wagons, begging for
food with tears in their eyes, without
dividing my share with them. | have
seen them cut their rliserably poor
horses , throats and commence butcher
ing them for food. 4 There are about
ten thousand back on the Humboldt Riv-
er that will not get in across the Sierra
Nevada mountains and must perish in
the snow, besides starve to death. Thou
sands have been assisted to get in that
were starving by relief from our city
and we are about sending more food. -
High prices were the rule in Sacra-
mento in 1850. The writer states that
his board and Office rent will cost $4,000
year. DR.. Cronin went to California
to pursue his profession, in the practice
Of which he had surer supply of gold
than did those who sought the precious
metal direct. Although many of the
miners made their fortunes, the greater
number were making no more than their
board; this, too, at the hardest kind of
labor under conditions conducive to ty-
phoid fever and other serious diseases.
rr. Cronin writes that he has made as
high as twelve ounces CO gold in a day,
at the practice of his profession and can
average four ounces daily. Since gold
is worth in round numbers twenty dol
lars an ounce, simple calculation will
show that in his case the high cost Of
board and Office rent was not a. very
serious matter.

Will Not Seek Another
Term in the Senate.
kept POLITICIANS GUESSING

"Under no circumstances will L be
candidate for reelection to the SEN
ate, said Senator Isaac Stephenson as
he sat in his Office and talked freely
of national and state affairs.
This was the answer to the question
so often asked and the answer to which
has been so long awaited. Probably
the general expectation has been that
the answer would be different. Ger
tainly there have been many during the
last few months who have strongly
urged him to stand again for re-
election. They have told him that
there were lawyers and takers enough
in the senate, and that the country
needed, especially in these times Of
hating business, more men like him
self with large knowledge of business
conditions and needs and of large prac-
teal experience in business.
But with a determination long fixed
in his mind to retire at the close of
his eight years service, although not
announced, it could not be changed.
There seemed to be no reason, =
he said, "for an earlier announcement
that would not again be candidate;
otherwise / should have so announced
long ago.
81 have just kept them all guess
ing" he continued, "and I had not
told any one" and the senator smiled
as if he had got some enjoyment out
of the many efforts to get him to
speak-"not even members of my
family knew"
In Marinette those who are in close
touch with the senator know that he
has long been inclined to leave public
life. But they also knew that he was
never a man to retire under fire. And
he didn t.
Friends of the senator claim that no
man in official life in the state was
ever subjected to such unwarranted
personal attack No man ever had oc-
casion to experience such base ingrati-
tude from one-time friends for whom
he had done so much and whose poll
teal advancement he had made posi-,
BILE. When they turned on him and
sought to destroy him by charges man
ufactured and false, as was later
shown, his old fighting spirit, which he
had developed in the woods as boy and
young man, was aroused-and he forced
his mahgn assailants to admit that
they had no proof of the charges they
had invented and he fought them I'm,
til he won vindication from his asso
ciates in the United States senate
And now, when they are silenced, ant
he is no longer under fire, he can re
turn to private life and to his large
business interests which require his at
tention.

McEan had been drinking in saloon
at Caledonia and they had started for
the camp at Somers. When they got
to Franksville Smith decided to stop
and McEan declared that he was 90

enough to walk and his companion
paid no more attention to him. He

to get to the camp. McEan was about
forty years of age and was married,

southwark much more rapidly. The
disafGection would spread and Huerta
would pay the penalty for the mur-
der of Madero, either in losing his
life or in flight from his country.
