SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM ONE REFORM ACCOMPLISHED. In time universal sufferage was no longer a dream. The women were not only given the ballot, but they were put on the ticket. When the first presidential election under universal sufferage was over, the electresses of the different states began conferring. ““When will we go to Washington to cast the ballot of the electoral college?”” said one. “Late in February,” answered another. “And then the inaugural will follow on the 4th of March.” “Oh, goodness!” was the cry from all. “The veryidea! Our winter things will be out of date by then, and it will be too early for usto have our spring clothes and hats.” Immediately the inauguration date was set forward to May 4. This shows what women could do with problems that mere man has struggled over for a century. VERY KIND OF “DAN.” A special telegram to the Pioneer from St. Paul, yesterday, stated that the Hon. Dan Gunn of Grand Rapids, Cass Lake’s “booster” in the state senate, had invited friends to accompany the normal school sub- committee members on their junket north to inspect sites for the pro- posed sixth state normal school. The telegram failed to state whether the Hon. Dan was bringing along a flatcar containing the cotner stone of the new school, which he would like to leave at Cass Lake.

Lawrence, from Newport News with a cargo of coal for Boston, was blown aground on the Hen and Chick- ens shoals off Cape Henlopen, Del, and is now pounding. to pleces. The crew of nine men and the captaln’s wife were rescued in the nick of time by the Cape Henlopen lifesavers after a thrilling experience. The schooner broke in two after the ten persons had been taken off. They were land- ed at Lewes, Del. The Cape Henlopen men risked their lives in putting their boat through the bounding seas, but they reached the schooner safely and just as the helm of the Lawrence became submerged. The crew, with the lone woman, were huddled on the fore- house of the sunken vessel. The cap- tain’s wife was the first taken oft and 1t took several hours to effect the Tescue of the others from the schooner. For Secretary of Treasury. « Chicago, Feb. 11.—As George M. Reynolds is out of the field for the position of secretary of the treasury ot the United States the name of Mr. Franklin MacVeagh of this city will probably be presented to President: Elect Taft.

The young millionaire had climbed the Jungfrau, Monck and Eiger. “It 1s more dangerous work than mo- toring,” he said, “and, dear me, how the climber is loaded down. He re- sembles a peddler more than anything else. He carries wood to make a fire with. He carries nafls for his boots. He carries a lamp. He also has an ax wherewith fo cut steps for himself in perpendicular ice walls, and he has a cord wherewith to rope himself to his companions, and he has a staff to help him up and down the steeps. In the sack on his back there are all sgorts of things—tubes of concentrated soup, tea, coffee, candles, socks, extra shirts, gloves, pins, brandy, meat extract, smoked glasses. And dangling be- tween his shoulders is a pair of snowshoes, without which in the hot August sun he would sink in the soft snow quite up to his knees at every step.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Wanted the Other One. ‘A handsome and neatly dressed young woman was walking down the street the other day, followed by her favor- ite dachshund pup. It was market day, and the pavement belng some- what crowded caused the dog to get some distance behind its mistress. Fearing it would lose sight of her, she called, “Come along, sir!” A would be wit who was near step- ped up to her and with great politeness said, “Certainly, miss.” 4 “Ah,” she exclaimed as her pet came running up, “you have made a mis- take! This is the puppy I called.”— London Tit-Bits, RAINEY IN ANANIAS CLUB Illinois Congressman Latest Addition to Membership. ‘Washington, Feb. 1\—Representa- tive Rainey (I11.), whose speech in ths house on the Panama canal purchase has drawn forth a rebuke from the state department in an officlal reply to the Panama® government’s protest, was inclined to assume that he had been elected to the “Ananias club.” This was based on the statement in Secretary Bacon’s letter as to the president’s view of Mr. Rainey’s speech. Mr. Ralney made a statement in which he said that he did not ex- pect President Obaldia of Panama or President Roosevelt of the United States to agree with him. He added that it is only necessary to arrive at some fact uncomplimentary to the present administration to be elected to the “Ananias club,” provided the candidate has the courage to make the facts public. DISCUSS LABOR QUESTIONS Prominent Leaders Confer With Sec- retary Straus. ‘Washington, Feb. 1\—Many prom- inent labor leaders participated in a “council of labor” at the department of commerce and labor and discussed questions of vital interest to the wage earners of the country, including the problem of the unemployed. Presi- dent Gompers of the American Fed- eration of Labor and Commissioner General Keefe of the immigration bu- reau were among those active in the gathering. The meeting was called at the instance of Secretary of Come merce and Labor Straus. Girl Jumps Six Stories. Denver, Feb. 11.—In an effort to de- stroy herself Miss Violet Brierly, aged twenty-eight, leaped from a window on the sixth floor of the Mining Ex- change building. Fifteenth street, where the spectacular attempt at sul- cide occurred, was thronged with peo- ple at the time and the body struck the pavement in the midst of horri- fied spectators. It is thought the girl cannot live. Illinois Senatorial Deadlock.

S KNOX ELIGIBLE T0 ENTER CABINET? Voted to Increase Salaries of President's Advisers. ‘Washington, rep. 1'\—Is Senator Knox eligible for appointment as sec- retary of state in the incoming ad- ministration or must the president- elect when he again touches American soil find himself confronted with the pressing and disagreeable necessity of selecting a new premier for his cab- inet? This is the question that all official ‘Washington is confronted with. The facts in the case are perfectly plain. There is no dispute about them. Sen- ator Knox was last elected for a six- year term, which will not expire until March 3, 1911. The constitution pro- hibits the appointment of a senator to an office created or the salary of which has been increased during the term for which he was elected. So the question is whether under this incontrovertible state of affairs Senator Knox can lawfully succeed Robert Bacon as secretary of state on March 4. It is quite evident that the senator himself is a good deal per- turbed by the springing of this ques- tion at this moment. He has denled himself to all callers, but is advising with his personal friends, especially those of a legal turn of mind, and ‘without doubt he will have a message on the wires before President-Elect Taft arrives at New Orleans contain- Ing his own conclusions regarding his eligibility to the office of secretary of state. The general consensus of opinion on both sides of the senate chamber was In accord with Senator Hale’s view that the situation should be remedied by the repeal of the salary law in so far as it affected the office of the sec- retary of state.

Pittsburg, Feb. 11.—Within a few hours of the time set for her wedding Smila Martorfeld, eighteen years old, the belle of the Russo-Greek colony of Duquesne, a suburb, was found with her throat cut in the cellar of her home. She died twenty minutes later without having regained consclous- ness. Whether it was suicide or mur- der has not been ascertained. Lake Michigan Swept by Gale. Muskegon, Mich., Feb. 11.—A ter- rific fifty miles an hour gale is sweep- ing Lake Michigan. The steamer In- diana of the Goodrich line, bound for Chicago, was forced to take refuge at Grand Haven.

CONFERS WITH GILLETT Author of School Segregation Bill, When Called Into Consultation With the Governor, Refused to Agree to a New Measure and Declared Hs Would Fight Reconsideration of Vote by Which Blll' Adopted. Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 11.—All ef- forts of Governor Gillett and his sup- porters in the assembly to make a compromise agreement on anti-Japa- nese legislation have failed. The floor leaders met in the office of Speaker Stanton to discuss the sit- uation, which they considered des- perate. Grove L. Johnson, author of the school segregation bill, who was called into consultation with Gov- ernor Gillett, Speaker Stanton and J. P. Transue, notified them that he would make a fight against reconsid- eration of the vote by which the school bill was passed last week. He would agree to no new measure, as was proposed. The governor urged Johnson to withdraw from the fight, explaining the situation between Ja- pan and the United States as he learned it from President Roosevelt, but the assemblyman “stood pat.” Later in the day Assemblyman J. P. Transue of Los Angeles introduced a resolution withdrawing Grove L. Johnson’s bill compelling the Japa nese to attend separate schools. The resolution declared that in the opinion of the assembly that body had the power to enact such legislation, but in view of the attitude taken by the federal authorities would rescind its action in passing the school bill. WIDELY PUBLISHED IN JAPAN Dispatches Telling of Sentiment on Pacific Coast. Tokio, Feb. 1\.—The Japanese news- papers continue to be filled with dis- patches emanating from San Fran- cisco, New York and London, indicat- ing a serious increase of anti-Japanese sentiment in the Pacific coast states, ‘which is said to be rapidly spreading to interior states. The Asahi’s San Francisco corre- spondent has cabled to the paper al- leged statements and utterances of senators and others which are of a most sensational character. The dis- patches state that all the Pacific states are developing grave opposition to the Japanese residents and urging R G R N A which enable them to reside and transact business in these states. The Hochi, which is of the sensa- tlonalist press, makes heated and pas: slonate comments on the American dispatches and concludes with the Japanese proverb, “Even Buddha loses patience if his face is slapped thrice.” London dispatches also depict the anti-Japanese situation in America as grave. Negotiations With Japan Pending. Reno, Nev,, Feb. 1\—In a tele graphed interview to the Reno Ga- zette with Senator Nixon of Nevada at Washington Senator Nixon says President Roosevelt had informed him that certain matters were-under consideration between the United States and the Japanese governments, which, if brought to a successful con- clusion, would eliminate the present cause for complaint. - Radical state ac- tion at this time would render difficult the desired result. AROUSED BY FAMILY DOG Animal’s Barking Probably Saves a _ Number f Lives. New York, Feb. 1.—The barking of a collle dog owned by Oresto Giolito, proprietor of the Hotel Daleurope, | probably saved the lives of the dozen guests who were asleep in the hotel when fire broke out in the basement.

Health OCommissioner Reynolds of Chicago Issues a Bulletin to the Public. (From the Ohicago Tribune.] “Health Commissioner Reynolds of Chi- cago, in his latest bulleting of the deglcr'r ment, says that the worst danger to which the children of Chicago are now exposed is the neglected cold. If your baby hasa cold don’t say ‘it will wear off,’ and let it go at that.

It may be impossible to prevent it from expesing its sensitive body to those dangers which older persons shun. But the chances of contracting colds can be easil; diminished by a little care and foresight. 5 If the children get colds don’t waste any time. Don't trifle with a cold.” ‘This warning, coming from so. prominent an official and one whose position enables him to know the real danger, should be heeded by all.
