SUFFRAGISTS HEAR REPORT

Women Regard Federation of Labor as Their Strongest Ally. Beattie, July 2.—Headquarters Secretary Elizabeth Hauser in her annual report to the National Woman Suffrage association says: "Never before did the newspaper Interviewers put to every possible politician, writer or preacher, Inventor and explorer, captain of Industry, social worker, actor, prizefighter, maid, matron or widow, the burning query, ■What about votes for women?’ "The American Federation of Labor, at its annual convention passed a woman’s suffrage resolution. The federation is the strongest ally we have, representing, as it does, two million members.”

BODY FOUND IN RIVER THOUGHT TO BE LING’S

Chinese Discovered Dead In Laundry Hanging Between Tubs. New York, July 2. —Although complete identification is impossible, there appears to be a strong probability that the body of a Chinaman which was found floating in the Hudson river, was that of Leon Ling, alleged slayer of Elsie Sigel. Coroner McDonald believes the body was Leon’s, as do a number of policemen, but until measurements and facial characteristics are carefully gone over the identification will remain in doubt. If it is Leon, the cause of his death will be another mystery, although one theory, that of suicide, would appear reasonable. The fact that the clothes were missing makes identification more difficult. Ung Yow, an inconspicuous, hardworking Chinese laundryman, was found by his neighbors strung between two washtubs, with his hands beneath the water of one and his feet in the other. All attempts to connect the murder of Ung with the murder of Elsie Sigel have failed. It is believed Ung was the victim of robbers.

WINONA’S NEW COLLEGE.

At the annual meeting of the trustees of the Winona Normal School and Agricultural Institute, these two schools were separated and two separate boards organized. One of the new boards completed its organization with J. H. Lones of W’arsaw as president and Dr. E. S. Scott of Winona as secretary. This board established the new Winona College and elected Jonathan Rigdon, Ph. D., a graduate of Clark University of Boston, as its president. Dr. Rigdon has been president of the Winona Combined Schools for the past year, and the selection of him as president was a very wise move on the part of the board. This new college starts off with one of the finest college buildings in the Btate, “Mount Memorial,” erected at the cost of SIOO,OOO. The 'Winona Normal will be a department in this college, as will also the School of Engineering, the Conservatory of Music, the Department of Liberal Arts and the Department of Domestic Science. The Normal term of this college is now in session, and a six-weeks’ mid-sum-mer term will open July 6. * Singing to Beat the Band. A few years ago a slang phrase waa sprung upon the American pflbllc which will be exemplified at Winona Lake this summer in a most unique manner. The phrase is, “To beat the band," and iL is now used by almost every man and boy, to say nothing of the other members of the human family who are thoroughly acquainted with its place in modern language. In the present usage its setting is decidedly novel, besides being literally true. The Winona Assembly has engaged as one of its many attractions for this summer a man of wonderful volume of voice. So powerful are this man’s singing powers that his voice is distinctly heard above the blare of horns, the clang of cymbals and the roll of drums. This man is the celebrated Paul Morphy, who has earned a national reputation as the man with the biggest voice on earth—"the man who sings to beat the band.” Not only is PauL Morphy’s voice strong enough “to beat the band," but every-word can be distinctly &ard, is mußlcal and positively inspiring. He is called "the human Calliope," and is well worth going miles to hear. He is on the program with Rogers’s band the first week in August.

Are You Reading Our Weekly Talks r-^^sr\ We have made some strong claim* for your consideration, Because we are absolutely sure that the Studebaker will make good every claim. If you could go to the great Studebaker factory at South Bend, Ind., and see the high grade timber that goes into the Studebaker; if you could see the care with which every piece is selected and examined; if you could follow every process of construction, from beginning to end: if you could at one glance sweep the land from Maine to Mexico and see what splendid satisfaction these wagons are giving— Then, If you needed a wagon you would not hesitate — You would get a Studebaker right away from ■■■■ C.

How It Happened.

"Take it fr§m me”— ■„ . . > - > “No, I won’t take a single thing from you!” Here a lively scrap ensued.

Why She Was Mad.

“She doesn’t speak to me.” "Why?” “Because when she asked me what I thought of her complexion I told her It was very fair, but I could tell her a better brand.”

For They Can.

"You can’t always tell.” "Then there Is one thing certain.* "What is it?” "That you aren’t a woman.”

Substantial. The Joy of ready money. The cinch of cash in hand, la something that the dullest Can always understand. There may be other pleasures And other forms of bliss, • But there is none, I venture, Bo sure enough as this. In looking at the posies, In going for a walk. In taking In a lecture To hear a fellow talk And all such simple doings Some pleasures may attend. But there Is no enjoyment Like having cash to spend. In love and Its allurements The one of youthful mind Borne feelings highfalutin May very often find. But when he pays the preachST And starts to buy the hash Things run on more serenely * If he can scatter cash. Then here’s to ready money. The useful friend es man! ft gets him Into places No other booster can. It gets him Into places • And gets him out again If he has ever handy The twenty or the ten.’
