From Cherokee comes the news of n sad
accident the accidental killing of Master
Ilitynor Burroughs , son of N. T. Burroughs ,
who has numerous friends and acquaintances
here. Haynor was with n hunting party ,
and In pulling a loaded gun out of the boat It
was discharged , the full contents' striking
him in the right side of the In-east. Ho fell
dead without making Iho slightest groan.
Death came so suddenly that tlio smile on his
countenance was not removed. Kuynor , with
other members of the family , has frequently
visited Council Bluffs , and playmates , as
well as friends of the family , will deeply
sympathize with those so suddenly and terri

Much has been written about TursrenclT
slnco his death. One set of "Recollections"
has succeeded another until It has seemed as
though both tbo subject und the public would
bo exhausted. Under llicso rather discour
aging circumstances , anything which could
arrest attention must need possess e.\ccp-
tlomil interest or utTord n view of the matter
from a fresh point of observation. These arc
precisely the conditions which nro fulfilled by
"Mmo GolovatchoiT's " .Memoirs. " Nearly nil
Ibut has been written of TurgenelT hitherto
1m ? been laudatory to the last degree. Mine.
GolovatcholT saw him as u simple mortal , and
her opportunities for observation were excel
lent , says Isabel F. Hapgood in the Now
York Independent. She formed an lillcgr.il
part of Unit literary orbit wherein revolved
the great planets of Russian literature , who
nro known as the "writers of the forties , " in
contradistinction to tlio less important the
asteroids who nro called "tho writers of the
sixties. " Of this literary eotcrio she gives a
very vivid picture , not confining herself to
Tiirgenoff , although , naturally , ho plays a
conspicuous part in her narrative ; but doing
justice to the other leaders who nro Insepar
ably connected with the history of Kussiuu
thought mnl mental development.
Mine. PamiofT-Golovntchoft abandons the
literary woild for a space to paint u moat en-
tert.ilning , if repulsive picture of a division
of property among heirs , In the good old days
before the abolition of serfdom. She went
with her husband to the government of
Kazan , to the estate which was to bo settled ,
and of which M. PamiefC was ono of the five
heirs. The inheritance had fallen in two
years earlier , but up to this .tlmo tbo heirs
had never managed to assemble in ono place
for business. The necessity for their per
sonal presence at the settlement will bo im
mediately perceived. After a tiresome and
dangerous journey , such as a visit to Kazan
entailed in those days , they arrived early one
morning at the great manor house , with its
two interminably long wings composed of
divers buildings for the house servants , of
whom there were about two hundred. The
lackeys , who came out to meet them , were
clad in long-tailed dress coats of heavy cloth ,
grass green in hue. It appeared that , having
worn out tbo cloth coats in which they had
served tbo late proprietor , Iho lackeys had
been dressed by Iho heirs out of the great
store of cloth inlended to cover the floors.
The late owner had traveled through Europe
in his youth , had passed nmch time in Eng
land which was then unusual among Kus-
sian land proprietors ami had evi
dently imitated the manner of
life of an English lord as nearly as possible ,
Ho had set up a stud of English race horses ,
always put on a dress suit for dinner anil
possessed an extensive cellar of English ,
French and German' wines. lie had green
houses full of rare plants , hot-houses tilled
with plums , pcachc , * ! , gi-apes and pineapples ,
and an orchestra ol serf musicians equipped
with valuable instruments. A violin from an
old master , which fell to Panaott's share in
the dislrlbulkin , the latter afterward sold for
4,000 rubles , which many connoisseurs con
sidered extremely cheap. The heirs seem to
have been types _ moro characteristic than
agreeable. One. an elderly bachelor , who
had a two-story stqho building upon his own
estate , erected expressly for his harem and
inhabited by several scores of serf girls , bud
brought some of his sultanas with him to the
setllemenl. This man's younger brother , a
good nuturcd individual , was distinguished
chiefly for his wifp and son. The son was
.seven years old amljiiul ; already boon destined
by nis mother to become an ofllccr in the
hussars of the guard. In order
lo prepare Iho child betimes for court
balls , the mother had him placed for
liftccn minutes every morning in a wooden
uniform , which was so arranged that his heels
met and bis toes were turned out in a line.
The boy relieved the monotony of this exer
cise by spitting In Iho face , and biliug Iho
arms of the serf girl who was appointed to
hold his bands. In order to furnish the future
otltccr with duo practice , his mother ordered
the peasant children to bo assembled in tbo
garden , and the lad , armed with a long , pliable
switch , soundly thrashed those who did not
execute their drill to please him. This seven-
year-old urchin wept bitterly when his little
sister was born and explained his tears , by
saying that ho should now bo obliged to part
with one-seventh of his inheritance ! The
mother had brought with her live serf maids
whom she beat and pinched every day during
her toilet. These maids were obliged to at
tend her in the bath , where she spent hours ,
in a heat which threw the girls into a swoon ,
the moro so as they were fasting , whllo she
beguiled the time with a good breakfast and
tea.
During that particular year , the serfs in
the government of Kazan were much excited
the land-owners and the latter
against - ; gen
erally blockaded their windows and doors at
night with tables , chairs and chests of
drawers. Gentlemen dressed themselves as
merchants when they bad occasion to trav
erse the roads ; and the steward of ono estate
was killed , one landed proprietor was burned
on a pyre , the steward on Count , IlludolT'n
land oversaw the field laborers armed with
pistols , and protected by u detachment of
Cossacks.Mention of these disorders was
strictly prohibited , and private correspond
ence was watched lest the news should
spread and glvo rlso to moro extended trou
bles.

The lackeys served the assembled heirs
with surly countenances , well iiwuro that tbo
impending distrioution meant for them sepa
ration from their homes and families. Tbo
settlement began with the division of the old
wardrobes of the deceased proprietor's sis
ters. Turkish shawls were cut into live
pieces , silver salvers and so on were chopped
with axes Into live portions , which were then
assigned by lot , wbilo the wretched umpire
shrieked himself hoarse in vain etlorts tocalm
contending heirs. The various villages were
also apportioned by lot , the heirs pale , trem
bling , muttering prayers und glaring at the
lltlle serf boy who drew the lots until Iho hid
burst Into bitter tears. Most of the heirs were
in despair at the result ; they had drawn pre
cisely Iho property which they did not w.mt.
Next came the distribution of the serfs. At
llrst it was proposed not to separate families ,
but every one protested against this "I shall
get nothing but old folks und little children , "
said one. "No , thank you,1' said another.
"Hero's Malanya , with five daughters , and
not a single son ; its unfair ; Malanya will
certainly fall to my jhuro. "
A most heart-Muling scene of prayers and
appeals on the part ot Iho serfs followed the
drawings , chieflyjvnju. M. PannofT exchanged
n grown-up young lackey for a sickly llttlo
girl , in order not toj break up a family , and
gave away an aduy. jjeasant girl without re
compense , In order that she might remain
with her mother. His uncles were delighted
to profit by bis folly , and to rldiculo him
for It.
The contents of the wino cellar were also
allotted , llrst the foreign winos and then the
domestic fruit brandies. To Insure a fair dis-
Irihullon. these Honors were drained oft the
fruits ; the air blvaino Mifllclontly Impreg
nated with spirits to bo Intoxicating , and the
lackeys who decanted contrived , in spite of
strict surveillance , to secure numerous sips
of the nallvki. On the following morning
Ihcro arose a great tumult among the heirs
when it was reported to thorn that tbo pigs-
geese and ducks , wMch had not been dlstrib ,
tiled , had expired during the night. Suspi
cion wavered between the evil Intentloncd
servants and the malicious heirs , ami sharp
language ensued between the hitler , which
was only sloped by the appearance of the
poullry yawl woman with the Joyful news
that ono pig had begun to twitch his legs and
two geese had risen to their feet and were
staggering about. The servants' had siiuee/ed
all Iho liiiuor possible out of the fruits , and
hud flung the dregs Into the back yard , where
they had been devoured b the pigs and poul-
try.wlth the above result.
Another lively scene ensued when the
horses were led Into the court yard for as
signment. Ono vicious animal broke loose ,
the frightened servants abandoned the rest ,
und the uproar which followed caused the
heli-s to seek rcfugo in the house and post
pone Iho settlement until another day.
On their return to Petersburg , tlio Pana-
eft's house bwumo a favorite resort for liter
ary , artlstlo und musical society , uud In sum
mer their villa at Puvlovsk , about thirty
vevst.1 from the capital and recently con
nected with It by the first railway In Hussla ,
was much visited by the people who as.
semblcd for the concerts at the station. It
win here , In 1 2 , that Mine. Paimeff llrst became -
came acquainted with Turgoncff. His evi
dent that from the very beginning of the ac
quaintanceship she failed to slmro In the
almost , universal adoration which was be
stowed upon tbo rising young author. At nil
events , the reminiscence.- him--of n char
acter which have hitherto not made their
way Into prlnti and accompanied bv plainly
stated reasons for her opinion--ditto from
this time. The single eyeglass had Just oomo
into fashion. Tuivoncff mid Count Sollogub
( n now forgotten writer of minor rand ) , both
of whom were distinguished by their unusual
stature , were In the habit of promenading
about at the open-air concerts , eyeglass In
eye , and gazing "with scornful
grimaces" upon the simple mortals
about them. After the music , Tiirgeneff fre
quently came to lake tea with Mine. PaimclT
and to talk with her about his travels abroad.
Ono of his favorite stories related to his own
heroic conduct when the Stettin steamer was
on tire. Without losing his presence of mind
ho had calmed weeping women , encouraged
the men who were In n panic terror , mid so
forth ; the narrative being by minute details
which could have been observed only by il
very calm person amid such a tumult. An
other passenger on the unlucky steamer had
chanced to tell Mine. Pnnaoff about the oc
currence , mentioning in particular , a young
man who had been punished by the captain
for trying to force his way Into the lifeboat
before the women mid children , exclaiming as
ho did so , "To die so young. " Hapi > eiilng to
bo In Palovsk , this passenger recognized
Tiirgeneff as the young man on the steamer ,
adding by way of confirmation when Mine.
Pmmoff hesitated over tlio reconciliation of
the two versions of the affair , that the young
man had a remarkably thin voice for so largo
a pei-son. Even this peculiarity did not quite
convince Mine. PanaeiT until she had occasion
to hear Turtrenff relating tosomo ladles an
episode at which she had been present. A
woman had run across the street before
an approaching carriage uttering a
little shriek. Turgeneff's variant
was , that ho had rescued her by stopping the
horses lust as she was on the point of being
crushed , and had borne the fainting woman
In his arms to her cavaliers , who hud over
whelmed him with thanks. When reproached
for bis invention , bo merely smiled and
answered that "he was obliged to amuse the
ladies In some way or other. " Thenceforth
Mine. Panaeff' never believed any statement
of Turgeneff's about himself , but cherished
a llrm faith In bis powers of improvisation.
And Byelinsky. the critic , once addressed
him in such plain language upon Ibis point
that Tiirgeneff was cautious ever after in the
former's presence.
Byelinsky administered another severe
reprimand on learning that Tiirgeneff was ac
customed to state In the society of fashion
able ladles that he never took money for his
writings , but gave them gratis to the editors
of the Journals. Turgeneff acknowledged bis
fault ; and expressed surprise that he could
have been guilty of such absurd conduct.
Tlio great writer suffered in his youth from
a weakness for aristocratic society ; and
loudly proclaimed the fact when Uo fell in
love or conquered a heart.
It was the fashion then , ns now , to adore
singers in the Italian OIHM-.I ; and when Mmo.
Yinrdot came to Petersburg Turgeneff loudly
announced himself ns the most devoted of her
followers , to the weariness of nil who know
him. In return Mmo. Viardot , never invited
him to her evening parties , and when she ex
pected aristocratic visitors , she forced him to .
sit In the study with her husband and initiate I
the hitter Into the mysteries of bunting and
Hussian literature. When ho came into his
iiihoritcnce , Tiirgeneff w.is put upon another
footing and invited like oilier pwnili * . As ho
bad not money to pay for his own seat nt-tho
opera , Turgeneff was in the habit of coming
constantly to the box which Mine , Panaeff
hired in comp.my with sonic friends , planting
himself there ( Wliilo llioso who had | > aid for
the box tried , _ in vain , to catch a glimp.se of
th' < stage past bis broad back ) , mid applauded
Mmo. Viardot so violently that tlio neighbors
rebelled.
One of the great author's peculiarities was
the giving of insincere invitations. Ho had a
cottage at Pargolovn , about fifteen vorsts
from Petersburg , one summer , and , as ho
possessed no lodgings in town , he stayed with
the Pannoffs when lie had occasion to come to
the capital. To them ho enthusiastically
praised the cook that ho hud hired for tlio
season , describlntMhc dainty dinners which
the man prepared when Tiirgeneff invited his
acquaintances.
"Perhaps you entertain counts and barons
with dainty dinners , " ssiid Byelinsky , in jest ,
"but you never ask your literary friends. "
Charmed with the suggestion , Turgeneff
at once invited them , promising "a
festival such as they ilid not
expect , " and forcing them all to swear that
they would come on Iho day which ho himself
appointed.
"We'll come , " said Byelinskv , "but don't
play us such a trleU as you did In the winter ,
when you invited us all for t lie evening and
then never came yourself. " Byelinsky also !
at parting promised to write to Turgeneff the |
day before , in order that the latter might not
forget the invitation.
The appointed day was very hot , but the
six guests set out lit 11 a , in. in carriages , as
the Finland railway station did not then ex
ist. Exhausted with the heat and dust , they
drove up to the villa in Pargalovn , only to
llnd it locked up and the .silence of death
reigning over the house. Prolonged knock
ing at length produced a small boy , who an
nounced thatTurgeneff had gone off ( in spite
of the letter announcing the hour of their ar
rival ) , and that the cork was in Iho truklii'-
11 combination of cheap restaurant and drink
ing house. Their coachman refused to drive
them back until the weary IIOI-HC.S were
rested ; all were hungry. Investigation
showed that the traktir had nothing to give
them , and was so Illthy that a mouthful of
bread from it would bo too repulsive to eat.
They still hoped that Turgeneff might re
turn or that they should bo able to prepare -
pare a dinner. But Purgolova then ,
as now , was supplied by inatuliiml
IKMldlors of provisions , mid nothing was to bo
had. Mine. Panaeg bought some bread , milk
and eggs from a peasant woman ; and on the
cook making his appearance , they demanded
an account. The man did not know where his
master was , and had received no orders for
dinner. Paimeff scut the cook to the priest's
house for his master , as Turgenoll' had
Dragged of the Impression ho had made upon
the hitter's pretty daughter , and declared
that ho passed all his time there.
When TurgeneiY at length appeared , ho assorted -
sorted that ho had expected them on the fol
lowing day , and had not received Byollnsky's
letter. With considerable dinicnlty ho suc
ceeded In persuading them to stay , declaring
that his miracle of a cook could prepare din
ner by ft o'clock. At 0 o'clock the dinner was
served , but as It consisted exclusively of
lough old hens , they were unable lo judge of
Iho cook's skill , and the host's atlcmpted in
vitation to return to n really worthy feast on
the following Sunday was drowned in the
laughter and ridicule of his incredulous
guests , This would seem to have been a suit
able occasion for Byelinsky to repcatthoques-
lion which ho had previously put to Turge
neff : "When will you cense lobe Klestn-
koffi" referring to the braggart hero of
Gogol's famous comedy but it is not record
ed that ho did so.

Theoretically woman suffrage shines with
the bright electric light of n panacea for nil
Urn evils contained in a political campaign ,
says u Kansas City special to the Now York
Herald. Practically It Is not the glllterlng
success which Its leadorj fondly predicted
when they obtained u foothold In the sun
flower state. Perhaps the women who car
ried to success the exciting campaign at Ed-
gerton , Kan. , will not accept Just yet any
such Idea as this. Their triumph , ns de
scribed in a dispatch to the Herald , will not
lose any of Its brilliancy In their ryes until
they have experienced the difficulties and
vexations of administering government. Then
so many of the men think they will bo only
lee anxious to lay down their new found pow
ers.
ers.As each succeeding election comes the
female vote grows smaller and beautifully
less until it lias now come to bo a recognized
fact that the only female voters who go to the
polls to drop their ballots are those who in
sist that they are ladies and thee who think
they have a principle to maintain by uphold
ing their franchise.
There are a few reasons why the suffrage
for women will never bo a political success.
These have been developed In tbo recent mun
icipal elections throughout Kansas. When
women llnd that equal suffrage means social
equality on and for u few weeks before elec
tion day they begin to hesitate before they
will place themselves in such a position that
they may bo compelled to appear on the sumo
social plane as their servants. This ono ques
tion of social equality cuts by far the largest
figure in the matter of influence on the day of
election of nil things that are calculated to
bias the mind of the voter.
Then , too , there Is the apprehension which
arises In the minds of most women that they
will ho accused of having been influenced by
some other of their sex who may bo ono of the
active workers for their candidates. This
ulono has caused a woman to vote for mi aspir
ant for office whom she has used Influence
against before the day of election.
pocr.u , .III.U.OUSY i.v A CA.MPAIUN .
In flfty-sovon cities In Kansas elections
were held last week , but in only n few of
them did female suffrage cut much of a fig
ure. The female vote was an element in all
the elections , but In most of the elections it
was merely an incident to which little im
portance was attached. In some of the elec
tions , however.tho female vote and the consequence
quence thereof were of more than ordinary
importance. An instance in point was tbo
election of Mrs. Dr. Jackson of Emporia.
Tills lady was nominated for membarof the
school board , and her opponent was a leading
druggist who has many times been under ar
rest for violations of the Murray law. Ono
would naturally suppose that the women
would turn out en masse in support of ono of
their own sex , especially as she was standing
as the exponent of temperance against a
known law bre iker >
But Mrs. Jackson in addition to her aspira
tions politically , aimed at being n social
leader , and in this she overstepped the bounds
placed by the social leaders in her city. A
council of I he elect was called , and it was de
cided to make a light on Mrs. Jackson and
elect the whisky seller. Here is where ono
of the anomalies of the election comes in. The
temperance men , the church men and all that
class of citizens who are recognized us being
the exponents of law. order and morality
were ranged on ono hide while on the other
were their wives hobnobbing with the bum
element and buttonholing toughs and negroes
in their endeavor to defeat a woman politic
ally whom they did not de-siro to become a
leader socially. Pohlbltlon was thrown to
the winds when social distinction was in
danger of being invaded by ono who was not
thought to bo one of Iho elect.
But in the defeat of her opponent at the
polls Mrs. Jackson gained n double victory.
Her campaign was conducted in an admirable
manner , and her tact was so great that she
went through the tight without causing harsh
feelings , and the result was that she was
given the social as well as the political dis
tinction she desired.
TIIKIII OWN SCHVAXrS S IIIVAI.S.
Probably the most striking incident of the
whole range of election was tlio campaign at
Salina. The election was for aldermen and
members of the school board. The snffrag
ists nominafed lady candidates from the Third
and Fourth wards for members of the school
board. There was a bitter light against Iho
nomination of women , and the anti-suffrag
ists determined to deal the whole fabric a
death blow. Mrs. James Robinson , the wife
of a leading merchant , and Mrs. Frank An
derson , the wife of a lawyer , were the candi
dates. They were recognized as being two
of the best educated ladies in the city , and it
was a difficult mailer to got any one to allow
his name to bo used against them foi the posi
tion , as It would menu almost social extinc
tion for their families , oven though they
should bo elected.
Late at night , just before the election , the
anti-suffragists met and concocted a plan
which was carried to a successful ending
next day. Tlio colored element is a power at
tlio polls at Salimi , and neither side had ever
recognl/ed the negroes when it cmno to the
distribution of the office. ) . Hero Urn was
their chance of defeating the women and mak
ing the whole business obnoxious , not only to
tbo ladles but , to the men who weio backing
them. Both Mrs. HobertsonaudMrs. Ander
son had colored servants. L.ydla Fulkerson
and Motile Booker wore the dusky damsels
who found themselves suddenly lilted out of
obscurity and placed on the pinaclo of politi
cal equality.
It was not a difficult lusk lo persuade the
jrlrls to allow their names to bo used. They
were told that if they failed of election they
need Imyo no fear of losing a position by their
action , for their nominators would see that
they could rule the kitchen if not a school
hoard. What was Iho horror of the proud
dames next morning when they donned their
best apparel and started on Iheir campaignto
find that their cooks were ahead of them in
the field , and were using all the family hccivts
which had been learned during their reign be
low Mnlis to create mi Impression against
their whilom mistresses. The light was on ,
mid it was too Into to retreat. It was n ques
tion of life or death for the suffragists , yet
they could use no arguments against their
opponents that would not redound to their
own defeat. They dare not ask the people to
reject them on account of their color , for that
would bo going against theirown avowed prin
ciples. They could not bring tlu-lrsex against
them , for that would be talking against them-
selves.
Tin : roi.oiiKD MUVANTS : II.I : : < TII : > .
Hero was a dilemma and they could grasp
neither horn. The only thing they could de
pend upon was their individual popularity ,
mid they at once began to work the voters in
trim candidate's style. Hacks were furnished
the colored women by their sponsors , und all
day long the balllo raged , The negroes
voted solidly for Iho women of their own
nice and Iho whiles were badly split. It was
decided to carry the war Into Africa , and the
ladles were seen riding around the negro
iiuartors soliciting votes with an energy that
would have done credit to a mayor where the
office was worth thousands of dollars , Instead
being done for an office which paid nothing
except abuse to the holder from every ono
else In the district.
All day long they worked , but the colored
women seemed to have the "pull" and went
Into office with mi overwhelming majority.
The suH raglstn were taught the woes of the
candidate mid the ladles were compelled to
accept tlio situation , mid their 01113- satisfac
tion was derived from the hasty manner in
which they sent their ungrateful help out
into the cold world.
WIMItY Of IIOI.DINU TIM : IIIIIVH.
Hluwath.'i remembered It.s experience of
last year and the offices went begging. The
ladles had enough of It , and the moil said
they felt so much relieved since the women
had taken the mutter of governing from them
that they did not care to rosnmo the reins.
The result was that only : . ' ( ) < ) votes were
polled mid nobody would have the position of
councilman. A school board was elected , but
Hiawatha Is governed by tliu same set of
aldermen , or women , if ymi please , who ran
things last year. They caught the place
then and can't let go. It wu- . one of tbo cur-
iuus lucldciiU Of tUu wurltuib's of womcu'j
suffrage , The women had enough of their
power , but wf ro unable to pot five from the
net which they had drawn about themselves.
Instead of working for an election the solicit
ing was to get some one to help them let go ,
At Manhattan the taste of brief authority
was not so bitter. At this city fho
ladles two years ago captured all the
offices from mayor down to the janitor of the
school house , They were In full control of
the whole political machine mid ran It us If
they had served their full improntlcshlp at the.
business. They appointed women as judge *
and clerks of election mid placed n llcki t lit
the Held In which men were not recognised.
The republicans and democrats both had tick
ets out , but when election day came they
"were not in It. "
AXCIIOIIUDIIV TWINS.
One of the prominent lady candidates Is Uio
proud mother of two flue babies bom last .Mil
itary. Her husband Is an outsH | > hcn opponent
of woman's suffrage and has spent much tmm
In electioneering against the women's ticket.
The leaders of the republican party depended
upon him to do much poll work on election
day. But the hours went by and he came not.
'
At last , when the managers'saw that things
were In a bad shape they sent a messenger to
the house to find out what had become of their
worker. Mrs. Williams , the wife , had been
at the polls mid around the citv nil day dolnif
good service for Iho cause of suffrage , but
Williams wusiidt to bo found.
The messenger arrived at the houi < o and
found the man who was supinvscd to be ublu
to sway Iho multitudes , sitting with n baby
on each knee , holding two nursing bottles ,
from which the Infants were obtaining llu-lr
sustenance. Ills wife had asked him to hold
the children for n minute inn ! then ImseU left
him tied to the house with no possible way of
getting away until she came and relieved liim.
She had taken all the ladies of her acquaint
ance Into her confidence and thev not nnly re
fused to relieve him , but had prevented'him
from hiring nnv one to take his phn-c long
enough to let , him M' to vote. A council of
war was held and it was determined that the
men should take turn about In curing for the
"kids" while Williams went to the polls. An
attempt was made to carry this into execu
tion , but the infants set up such n howl of
protest that the poor man was left to hl.s fate.
roi.i.o\viii : wirn A 111:1:11 : : COIIK.
At Leaven worth the republicans placed
four women on their ticket , but the democrats
made it clean sweep. The Women's C'liriMian
Temperance union took a hand in this light
and marshalled their forces to do electioneer
ing nt the polls where the voting for the
women was to be. They set dainty tables
with free lunch ami invited all who would to
partake of their coffee and sandwiches.
But tbo men had not yet been educated .
up to the use of coffee as a campaign
beverage and were easily persuaded to follow
a man who would hold up to view a tails-
manic beer bottle cork. The lunch was ele
gant , but it wasn't the right stuff to arouse
campaign enthusiasm.
Probably Kansas I'ity , Kan. , showed moro
clearly the objectionable features of woman's
suffrage than any other city in the state. This
city Is the home of an element which bears
the generic title of "hobo. " Ttiov live In
what is known as "Hell's Half Acre. ' " In tl is
locality the "hobo" is both male and female ,
and if there are any odds to bo given for vileness -
ness it goes to the favor of the female. Still
the women of this city had a principle at
stake , mid it was nece.-vsary to curry "Hell's
Half Acre" In the Interest of ono of the al
dermen. The ladies shuddered at the pros
pect , and only two of them were brave enough
to go down among the heathen on their mis
sionary work. They will never repent tbo
experience. They were received with much
humility by the denizens of the deleclablo
neighborhood and escorted through all the
vilest portions of the section until they had
been fully shown , and then a howling mob of
women reviled and jeered at them until they
were compelled to call for police assistance lo
escort them out.
