The Suicide Of a YOUNG Wife.

New York Sun: A young man is
detained at business one Saturday
night somewhat later than usual.
When he reaches home his young wife
Fcatechises him as to where he has
been. He stands on his dignity and
refuses to explain. His wife, he ar
CUES, should have too much confidence
in him to ask. She frets for two days
and then commits suicide.
This is a tame little tragedy re-
corded by yesterdays newspapers. 1t
would be only of the slightest public
prevailing opinions and ideas of
whose natural, consequences it seems
to be a strong example. These are
days when every man is under suspi-
cion and every woman is suspicious.
The dogma Of ingrained masculine
~wickedness has been so theoretically
exploited by s~ensationalists OF all sorts
that she would be a very young wife
indeed who had not caught the abom-
Unable contagion. Every husband-or
nearly every one--iS on the defensive

obey from the marriage services as
respects herself and is only too apt to
forget that 1T has not been inserted as

tract. While she revolts against any
interference with her own actions
she not i~nfrequently undertakes to
dictate and supervise those of her
lesser half.
Perhaps, sooner or later, the present
Ihysteria will die out, and men will
cease to be regarded ais inevitable

Bronson earnestly. "Not 10 per cent

it is forced upon those who oppose
1t at the insistence of 10 per cent there
should be provided a staate wide pre-
ferential election at which none but
women shall vote. If any considerable
number of the women entitled to vote
should vote yes, then we would with

Are Not Aliens. :.
Miss Bronson said that the charge
that she or Miss Markeson were aliens
was equally absurd. > "
Miss Markeson was born in this
country, though Of Norwegian ante,

certain women of this country con-
sidered naturalized Norwegians

"As for myself, she said, the work

First Methodist church of Fargo about
twenty years ago.

state for twenty years and has voted

suffrage woman, and her comments
and views on this subject and her own
experience in a suffrage state have

list covered a very wide range of sub
Jects, from giving advice regarding
pickles cooked in a brass jar turned
black, to organizing farmers clubs.
He afterwards posed. as a human
question box and gave the farmers and
others any desired information so that
the work to be expected from a county
agent was very thoroughly understood
by all present.
N. S: Davies, secretary of the Min
nesota Red River Valley Development
association was called upon and briefly
outlined what he hoped would be done.
he said no permanent good could come
from the organization only as th2
work done was reflected by the work
Of the individual farmer and business
a g.. - 81,
To accomplish anything worth while
1t would be necessary for earnest in
dividual effort. Only as the work of
prosperity, better living conditions and
an added number of farmers could the
value of it's work be measured.
Only by hard, persistent and consist
emit work could the desired end be at
tanned. and he urged the organization
of%Farmers clubs in every township of
the ten counties to be affiliated with
the association in order to do the mos1
effective work and keep in close touch
with the people who it was desired to
aid. He also briefly outlined a COM
~prehensive publicity and advertising
campaign.

ter which" about twenty-five farmers
made short addresses approving +h3
county agent and development associa-
ton movements, and the earnest inter-
est shown augurs we'll for the future
success of both.
Pres. F. A. Weld of the Moorh sd
normal next gave a characteristic ad-
dress in which he dwelt upon the gen.
eral good that comes from such move
ments He referred to the wonderful
virgin fertility Of the Red river valley
and what it was capable of producing
under proper methods of cultivation
and with sufficient stock on every farm
to maintain the fertility for future
generations.
He also dwelt upon what a wonderful
commonwealth was possible when the
work of h proposed forces for better
farming and development bore their
certain fruit. Following an open dis
cuSSion Chairman Lurton by unanimous
vote was authorized to appoint an ex-
ecutive committee of seven to complete
the plans OF organization Of the Bet
ter Farming association, raise the ne
cesSary funds for the county agent and
for the Minnesota Red River Valley
Development association as far as
Becker county's share was concerned.
After passing resolutions thanking
those who had come from a distance
to assist at the gathering, the meeting;
adjourned amidst great enthusiasm.

Chicago, April 9.-The Federal lea
que will conflict with organized ball in
275 games this year., according to- its
schedule which was announced here by
adopted practically as drawn up by
Sec. Lloyd Richard, who spent weeks
trying to overcome the many difficult
ties that had to be surmounted before
a chart acceptable to all the clubs was
drawn. * r-
The impossibility of avoiding con-
hicts entirely was recognized at the
start, but Richard eliminated many of
those that at first 1t" seemed probable
would W. to stay in the schedule. The
fact that Baltimore and Buffalo, for IN
stance, are in one section in the Fed
eral league and in different sections in
orange the chart that both clubs would
be away when their co-petftors were
home. Similar conditions governed
Kansas City and Indianapolis. n
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh.
The greatest number of conflicts
take place in st. Louis where the Fed
eral t1eaguers. will compete with the
American and National league teams in
about ffty-eight conflicts, Kansas City
has s,thirty-four, Indianapolis about
twenty, Pittsburgh twenty-seven, Bal
timoTe thirty, BrooRiyn tw~enty-one
The objection Of President Ward of
the Brooklyn club to Sunday baseball
resulted in the Brooklyn teams being
carded to play double headers on five
Saturdays which preceded the Sundays
into which It's series in western towns
would naturally run.
The opening of the season will spread
over several days. Only one game will
be played on April IS, when Buffalo
opens he season at Baltimore. On
April IA Pittsburgh starts the campaign
at home. with Brooklyn. On April is
Indianapolis opens the season at st.
Louis and Chicago at Kansas City.
Home games in Chicago and Indian
apolis will be played first by Kansas
City and st. Louis April 20. e.
Before they play at home, the Brook
lyn and Buffalo teams will be on the
road nearly a month. After the two
opening series, they, as we'll as the
Pittsburgh and Baltimore cams, tour
the four cities of the western section,
and will not appear before the, fans OF
their home towns until May II.
Memorial day, double headers will be
played by Kansas City at St. Louis;
