MRS. GOUGAR'S PLEA.

She Speaks In Behalf of tlie Downtrodden and Terribly Suffering Females of Uoosterdom.

Thfe suit of Mrs. Helen M. Gougar against the election board of her precinct, an action to test the constitutional right of the members of the board to deny her the right of suffrage, came up in the Superior Court at La-

CRAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18 1895.—TWELVE PAGES

Judge Frank B. The court room

fayette Jan. 10, Everett on the bench was well filled, many of the auditors being women. Two handsome bouquets were sent in, bearing the good wishes of the Working Girls. When the court opened it was stated that Mrs. Gougar desired to make an address, and inasmuch as the Supreme Court, within the last few months, had given women the right to practice law, Capt. Alex A. Rice, who appeared for the defendants in this suit, moved that she be admitted as a member of the bar. Judge Everett administered the oath. The-speaker contended that inasmuch as all the population were taken into account when the Congressional apportionment was made, all population ought to be permitted to exercise a voice in the choice of those representatives. She said it "was the common opinion that the women of Indiana were represented in the general assenbly that representation in that body was based upon the population. Such, she said, was not the case. The voters alone were taken into account in this State in making the apportionment, and therefore the women, constituting fully one-half the population, were not even represented by proxy. She defied any one to point out any law for restricting voting to men. Mrs. Gougar characterized the present legal battle as a contest between human liberty and human bondage, and said that she spoke as the representative of the Indiana Woman's Suffrage Association. She claimed that under the present law, women are eligible to the election to the Presidency to Senatorships and Representativeships. and if a woman could govern in England, certainly women in the United States were entitled to a voice in the government. She declared that the word "male" did not appear in either the declaration of independence nor the constitution of the United States, and that the courts as well as the legislature, possessed the power to grant to women the right of the ballot. The whole matter, she said, resolved itself into the question: Are women people? If they are, then they are entitled to vote under the law as it stands to-day. Citizenship and suffrage, she declared, were synonymous terms, and inasmuch as the State recognized women as citizens, there was no ground on which to question their right to vote. There were certain restrictions placed upon voting— paupers, idiots and those convicted of crimes were denied the right to vote, under the law, but paupers did vote in this State, and she declared for years, until the present law came into force, an idiot in this country, an inmate of the asylum, had exercised the right to vote. To deny that women had the right to vote was to say that they were to be classed in the lists with those who were convicted of offenses, or that they were resting under the badge of incapacity to discharge their duties.

Women were not asking to vote in order to protect themselves from just laws, passed by just men, but from unjust laws enacted by unjust men. Mrs. Gougar touched slightly upon the liquor question, contending that it was an unconstitutional action to deprive women of their right to sell liquor, but grew eloquent as she depicted the horrors that travel in the train of liquor drinking, saying during two years the newspapers alone have given accounts of the murder of 3,004 women by drunken men.

Will Sayers' New Plant.

Will Sayers is now at the head of a new electric light plant at Mt. Carroll, 111., and the Democrat of that place devotes an entire page to illustration and a write up of the same. Speaking of Mr. Sayers it says:

Sometime in August last? Mr. W. Q. Sayers, of Indiana, came to Mt. Carroll for the purpose of -organizing an electric light company. He found our enterprising people ripe for anything that would show our progressiveness and improve our beautiful little city, and it is fitting that the lights should be turned on on Christmas eve. Too much praise cannot be accorded this gentleman who has spent his entire time in superintending the construction of the plant and seeing that every detail is perfect. His experience in these matters make him a valuable man to the company and the city.

Birthday Party.

Howard Farmer entertained his young friends last Thursday evening in honor of his 13th birthday. Taffy pulling and various games were the amusement of the evening. There were present Misses Carrie Randolph, Minnie Allen, May Maguire, Daisy Fitchey, AlmaDorsey, and Messrs. Lee Bay less, Fred York and John Dorsey. A good time was enjoyed and all went away wishing Howard could have another birthday soon.

A Crawfordsville Man Goes Wrong. Frankfort Crescent: This afternoon Atkinson & Son, proprietors of the meat shop on south Main street, sold out to Mr. Will Kramer, of Crawfordsville. Will Atkinson will remain with the new proprietor for the present.

AGAINST SECRET SOCIETIES.

Father Sosen's letter Caused the Crusade Against Them.

An Associated Press dispatch from New York says: At a reception to Mgr. Satolli last night, one of the priests showed the reporters a circular, which he said was the cause °of the recent crusade against secret societies in this country. He refused to give his name. He only said that the Rev. Father Peter Sosen, of St. Paul, Minn., who is mentioned in the circular as its author, has just returned from Rome. The circular, which is in the Latin, says that there are now in the United States various clandestine societies, the chief of which are the Sons of Temperance, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. It then goes on to say that as those societies "begin in their meetings with prayers and the show of fraternal love tand good owill, and as no express vow is exacted to abjure Cath. olic teachings, many priests absolve the members unhesitatingly, while others absolutely refuse to do so."

The circular then professes to show that beneath the amiable outer trappings of the societies, is a ritual entirely antagonistic to Catholic doctrines. References are' given to pages and paragraphs in the ritual of each of the societies. The circular concluded by praying that "His Holiness shall deign to decide, whether or not, according oto the laws of the church, these societies may be tolerated, and their members sacramentally absolved."

Waynetown Diphtheria.

Dr. Chambers has a lengthy article in the Waynetown paper last week declaring that lives are endangered there by those who persist in declaring that no diphtheria exists theie He declares there are numerous cases and that he has diagnosed them. It appears that one doctor there is holding the fort against all the others and declaring there is no danger. The town has taken sides and a very ugly muss it is. The Waynetown Desputch, commenting on one of the men who came here and told the Argus-News that the disease did not exist there, says:

The fact that whatever- the trouble is, we have something that endangers life and does kill, should be sufficient, for anyone with a brain as big as a pea to say that it is something serious and should bring out the strongest efforts for its suppression. Again three of our physicians and the County Health Officer say we have diphtheria, and another, Dr. Detchon, of New Richmond, an old practitioner, known all over the county, says the case he has seen is diphtheria, and that he will bet $100 that outside of Waynetown every physician in the county would diagnose the cases the same. In the face of all this the man who will continue to mislead the public, stir up strife and endanger life, is worse than a beast, and is undeserving the name of a citizen in any town or vicinity. Stop your infernal, unbounded contrariness and do what you can to protect life among us and be worthy of being one of us.

Anti-Toxine a Success.

Frank Mason, United States consul at Frankfort, Germany, has submitted to the Department of State a most interesting report on anti-toxine, the new curative for and preventive of diphtheria. He explains the process of cits production. Anti-toxine improves with age, at least during the first two months, and the German physicians nor longer use it fresh, when it is apt to cau^e skin eruption. Early application,.however, is of the utmost importance. In seventy-two cases of children treated within two days of the first appearance of diphtheria, but two cases were fatal. The serious epidemic of diphtheria at Triest has been practically mastered by anti-toxine.

Those Pollard Warrants.

The period of township trustees scandal is not forgotten by hundreds of tax-payers in the State. Ten or a dozen years ago the State was llooded with a large number of school trustee warrants, known as the "Pollard warrants." It is estimated that nearly $1,000,000 of these warrants were put out and negotiated. The Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed the judgment of a court below thus declaring the entire issue of "Pollard'' school warrants invalid. Many of them have been cashed by banks in distant States.

JudgB Burford Still In Ofllce. Word has been received from Oklahoma that it was a mistake about Judge Burford resigning. He is still in office and intends to stay there, although at one time he did think of accepting another position which probably gaye rise to the rumor.

MRS. PUNG HONG HING.

She Was Formerly Miss Mary Dodd, of Crawfordsville, and Is Now the Mother of a Fine Boy.

Mrs. Allison Dodd returned Saturday night from Chicago and tells a fine story, which will be of interest here where the central figure is so well known.

Every one remembers Miss Mary Dodd, the black eyed young lady of quick, business like manner, who for years superintended in the office of Hong Quay's Chinese laundry. She knew every one and had many friend.s for she was possessed of the] great American spirit of "git thar."

When Hong Gutsy left Miss Mary went to Indianapolis and since then no one here has seen her.

Mrs. Allison Dodd, however, found her well and happy in Cincinnati and presiding as mistress over the household of Mr. Pung Hong Hing, a fine looking Chinaman and a brother of the wily Hong Quay. Mary and Pung were married nearly a year ago in Kokomo and went at once to Cincinnati to reside, where the groom purchased a washee-washee emporium. About two weeks ago a tine son arrived to gladden the Hing household and his advent was observed by a regular celestial festival at which the entire coterie of Chinese gods were propitiated by offerings good and mete. When Mrs. Allison Dodd left everything was lovely and the traditional goose was suspended from an exceedingly altitud inous location.

The Union Meeting.

At the union meeting last Sunday at the Methodist church Dr. Cunningham made the principal address of the evening, followed by Dr. Tucker with some brief remarks. At the close of the service Dr. Cunningham spoke very forcibly in favor of having the Scientific Temperance Instruction Law passed by the present Legislature. A petition is being circulated all over the State to secure the passage of this bill and the speaker urged everyone to whom it was presented to sign it and work for it. Probably there will be a mass meeting in the near future on this subject. Surely everyone is in favor of teaching our school children the evil effects of alcohol and narcotics on the human body. But the last four Indiana Legislatures have refused to pass this bill, and one of the mem bers gave as his reasons to Mrs. Nich ols, at that time State president of the W. C. T. U., that the salooon keepers money sent him there and it would be against their interests to teach this to the children. Last week South Carolina passed this law, so that leaves only Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas uand Indiana witliodt it in the United States

Where Did the Dust Come From? Last Saturday people were surprised to find that on the ten inches of snow there was a thick coating of dust, the presence of which seemed inexplicable This condition obtained not only in town but in the country as well Numerous theories are advanced as solutions of the unusual phenomenon Some believe the dust to have been brought by the blizzard from the west ern prairies while others believe the earth in its course through space passed through a great cloud of dust from some burned planet, great banks of which dust scientists tell us hang in space.

Appointed File Clerk.

Will Maxedon has been appointed file clerk for the House of Representatives at Indianapolis. He received the appointment from the principal, Robert A. Brown, of Franklin, and will on account of his experience and natural ability, fill the position most creditably. This is the same position held by Wallace Sparks four years ago.

Florence Must Go Too.

The sending of Lena Crique to the woman's reformatory has started a sort of a movement in the right direction and Miss Florence Delashmit, a budding belle of north Green street, seems booked for the same place as the prosecutor has taken her case in hand.

Death of Henry DUtikle.

Ilenry Dunkle, of Linden, died last Saturday aged about 75 years. He was a soldier in the late war and was buried Sunday at 11 o'clock under the auspices of the G. A. R. and Sons of Veterans. Mr. Dunkle was never married and lived with his brother, Win. Dunkle.

PART FIRST

AFTER CITY ATTORNEY HAYWOOD.

Kchoes of the Pettit Case Still KeverberatIng Among the Tippecanoe Fastnesses.

Lafayette Sunrtau-Ttmc»: City Attorney Haywood will wake up some day to find that the ignoring of charges of reputable newspapers and reputable men affecting his veracity as well as his integrity, will not do. He played the ignoring business with some success in the political campaign last fall, but let me tell him that politics is not business, and business is not politics. Thb Chawkordsvii.le Jouiinal, a highly reputable Republican paper, says: Judge Harney states that when he allowed Haywood 83,000 for prosecuting the Pettit case in the Supreme court that it was with the distinct understanding that Tippecanoe county had agreed to foot the bill. Mr Haywood waited on Judge Harney and assured him that such waB the case.

Judge Harney is the judge of the Montgomery Circuit court, and made the allowance of

$2,000

to Haywood

for prosecuting the Pettit case. The treasurer of Montgomery county, in in pursuance of the order of the court, paid over the S3,000 and under the statute providing for the changes of venue in criminal cases, certified the allowance to the Auditor of Tippocanoe county for payment. Auditor Jamison refused to draw his warrant on our county treasurer for the 8:2,000, and an application for a mandamus was made to the Superior court requiring the auditor to draw his warrant, etc. The court refused the writ, upon the ground that under the statute the Attorney General was the proper officer to take charge of the Pettit case in the Supreme court, and that the allowance to Haywood was illegal and void.

Mr. Haywood is a public man, holding an important public office. Judge Harney, a man of high character, and unquestioned integrity, makes a serious charge against Haywood that cannot afford to ignore. It is possible that he can explain it satisfactorily to his friends and to the public, and I sincerely hope that he may be able to do so. But let him bear in mind that ignoring is not answering—is not explaining—and will not do.

New lloute to the Springs.

Work will begin soon upon the construction of a short line railroad between Attica and the Indiana Mineral Springs hotel in Warren county. The road will be four miles long and the rolling stock will be the steam motors and passenger coaches that did service upon the Muncie Street Railway until recently. The project to build a short line road between Muncie and Wheeling and use this rolling stock has fallen through, as the right of way cannot be secured because of interference by the Chicago, Indiana & Eastern road, which was started but is not yet completed. Its surveyed route covers the territory between Muncie and Wheeling, and the promoters declare that the road will be completed.

Jim Statesman's Place.

The Indianapolis Smtiriel Monday announced that Jim Stutesman will be made the Chairman of the House Committee on Congressional Apportionment, and says: "The important place given Mr. Stutesman, of Miami and Cass, at the head of the Committee on Congressional Apportionment will please that gentleman as no other position would have done. It is an open secret that he has Congressional aspirations, and as he is now in the Eleventh district with Congressman Steele, he will have an opportunity to fix up a district to suit himself. It is safe to say that he will not be slow to profit by this marked advantage, and the non-forbearing gentleman from Peru is smiling to himself."

Gen. Wallace Wants No Oilice. Washington special to Cincinnati

Eiuiuircr: "There has been talk out in Indiana about General Lew Wallace who is now in Washington, as a Republican candidate for governor a year hence. To The Eiuiairer correspondent to-day he said: 'I do not want the honor. 1 do not, at my age, want to give up four years to politics If there was any occasion for my services, if my state needed me, I would gladly be a candidate. But as matters are now in these piping days of peace I do not want to make a campaign. I have other work [mapped out for the declining yea,rs of my life, and cannot enter active politics.'"

Small Delinquent List.

The delinquent list this year will be very light—much lighter than it has been for along time. The legal publication will be made about the middle of January, and by that time it is thought that a large per cent, of those now delinquent will have liquidated and their names taken off.
