Suffrage Plank" Hard to Drive.

Probably the unhappiest man in the
whole city, however, was Henry
Smith, colored, who had to drive Suf-
frage Plank, the st. Louis suffragists
donkey, in the parade. Suffrage Plank
is only about ten hands high, but he is
all feet. and he used them for other
purposes besides walking during most
of the day.
He kicked back at the cart in which
Henry rode so hard that toward the
close of the parade Henry let one foot
drag along on the ground in a safety
was not kicking he was backing the
thoroughly frightened Henry around
Locust street, or stalling street cars
by baking in the middle of the track.
- don't know how much good this
suffrage parade Is goin to do toward
getting women votes" Henry exclaimed
in a moment of temporary silence on
the donkey's part. but 1t certainly
don't make me no stronger for 1t. These
suffragists have made such pet of
this mule that ! can't do nothin' with
out feedin' him sugar, and | amt got

"Antis" Have Their Innings.
Last night, in public hearings. the
resolutions committee gave the suf-
fragists and anti -suffragists an hour.
The time was divided fifteen minutes
each to the National American Wom-
ans Suffrage Association. the National
Woman's Party. the Southern States
Conference and the ants. The ants
made the first argument through Mrs.
Arthur Dodge of New York and Mrs.
A. j. George of Massachusetts. Mrs.
Dodge contended the record of the last
four years showed thNt the states in
which suffrage had been an issue
registered against enfranchising wom-
en- She argued that. in view of that
fact, the men in the convention should
represent the women of those states
Don't believe them when they say
they have 100000 votes to throw
against you" said Mrs. George The
10000 are not going to say that
suffrage is first. 1t must be apparent
that when they divide into three de-
tachments before this committee to
present their views they cannot agree
even on the one thing they want
suffrage"
Miss Ann Martin. for the woman's
party. told the committee that as a
matter of practical politics it should
remember that the 100000 woman
voters in the twelve suffrage states
might determine where ninety-one
electoral votes would go next winter.
She said 1t would be better for the
democrats to conciliate the women
than the progressives.

Bethel, Nov. 1.-Two pupils OF the

Owen, were quarantined yesterday as

based on reports from the state labora-
tory, and more positive reports are eX-
pected The Persons and Owen children
to all appearance are quite well thus far,
As a precautionary measure quite az
much because of the probable presence
in the village of a number of healthy"

actual cases of illness from the disease,
the village schools, including the high
school, will be closed all next week and
possibly longer; the moving picture the
