IOWA WILL RkTlFY.
Members of Legislature Confident
Suffrage Viii Be Approved.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Des Moines. June l4.--iembers OF
the retrenchment and reform commit
tee of the Iowa legislature in session
here these past two days seem to think
that the legislature without question
in special session this coming winter
will ratify the woman suffrage amend
ment.
Il don't think there Is any question
but that the special session of the leg
islature will ratify the woman SUI
frage amendment said Senator James
Wilson, Of Appanoose county. Their
vote on the amendment to the state
constitution granting the right Of SUI
frage in this state shows what they
will do. The primary suffrage VIII
the senate defeated was only a sort
OF half baked measure
Representative Harrington, Of Kos
south county. believes also that the
Legislature will ratify.
Suffrage is coming-there Is no
doubt about it," said Representative
Harrington. Il believe the Iowa leg
islature will see it that way and rat
ify it. However, there may be some
icSai QuCStiod dS W INV d
suffrage measure will go in authoriz-
ing women to vote in our Iowa pri-
maries. These primaries are under
state laws and there may be a Ques-
ton as to tbe application of the nation
al suffrage TO the primaries"
Representative ODonnell, Of Du-
buque county, believes Iowa should go
ahead and act on state suffrage and
permit the people to vote on whether
or not they want state suffrage before
the legislature should act on the aa-
tional amendment.
i don't see why the state should rat
ify before 1t passes on state suffrage"
he said. The special session could
pass on state suffrage and then let the
people vote on it. 1t seems to me that
would be the first thing for our legis-
lature to do"

JUNE IL, 1891.

A most, versatile man was Andrew
Campbell. A man whose inventive
genius led him to experiment and 10
invent appliances for everything from
a simple wise to the most complicated
electrical instrument.
He was born near Trenton. N. j., and
started out as farm boy. But as he
liked to use tools better than TO pillow
and reap, he secured a position with
a carriage builder, and then with
brush maker. Here he worked out
his first invention, a better wise TO hold
the part on which he was working. But
he grew dissatisfied with this and
looked about for something more ad'
venturous. one day he threw up his
job and started west, lured by the ro-
mantle tales he had heard. He got as
for west as Delaware. where he took
n job on the canal Finally. however,
he did reach Illinois. and again appren-
ticed himself to carriage maker. He
built one OF the largest omnibuses In
that country. a wagon holding forty
eight passengers. and his designs were
copied everywhere.
He invented a machine to turn out
pill boxes. but restroyed II so 1t could
not be copied. He turned bridge build
er and built a single span bridge SIS
feet across. the largest up TO that time:
He repaired all sorts OF machines and

detained for some unknown reason. for
according TO the story several minutes
elapsed after the flash before the

The story is that John A. Blum, four
miles southeast of Hampton. was driV-
ing a team to the barn before an ap-
preaching storm when suddenly ooth
horses dropped. He got off the ridlns
cultlvator and went around to examine
the animals and found both dead. Only
one bore a slight burn and the har-
ness was slightly burned in one place
II is declared there was q severe
flash of lightning several minutes be-
fore the horses were hit but the ques-
ton is. what was the bolt doing LOAF
ing around those several minutes
one theory is advanced that II had
struck a wire fence and finally jumped
to the team killing the horses. the
team was valued at about Sow. Mf.
