FEARS FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

QnalifrltiaT linllot I.avra of the
South Are Mot Wholly Had.
KANSAS CITY, Kan., Deo. 6. Mrs. Anna
L. Dlggs, state librarian, speaking before
the Current Events club, said:
"There are four great commonwealths in
this country that place women on exactly
the iimo footing as men. They are Colo
rado, Montana, Utah and Idaho, llut I am
afraid sometimes that through somo crudity
In legislation this right will bo swept away.
Even now word comes from Colorado that
an effort Is being mado to disfranchise
women."
Mrs. Dlggs mado an oarnest talk to tho
women of Kansas City by urging them to
so arrango their household affairs as to at
tend th- stato equal suffrage reunion at
Topeka, nnd thus mako tho reunion a grand
rally' for equal suffrage
"Tho disfranchisement of tho negro In
Carolina Is not so bad when you romove all
party rancor from tho question," Mrs.
Dlggs Bald. "Tho proposition waa mado to
the negroes that if after two years they
could not wrlto a clause of tho constitution
they would bo disfranchised. When tho
women of Kansas were pleading and bog
ging for tho privilege of voting they would
havo been tho happiest women on earth If
thoy had boen told that they could voto if,
after two years, they could write a clauso
of tho constitution. They wore not told to
do so. Why, the men of Kansas have
treated tho women worse than tho white
mon of southern states treated tho negroes."

tho National.

to aucceed Nicholas E. Young, resigned, Is

pieces of business to come before tho moot
ing of tho leaguo magnates In New York.
Tho executive of the league will, it Is
stated on the most reliable authority, ten
der his resignation when the members como
together next week. It Is a virtual request
that causes President Young to step out of
this placo, ono year beforo the expiration
of tho ten-year ngrooment which binds the
magnates together.
"Tho movement against the league ex

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5. John I. Rogers,
treasurer of tho Philadelphia Baso Ball club
of tho National leaguo and a member of
tho national commltteo, knows nothing oflV
dally of tho dispatch from Chicago stat
ing that Mr. Hart of tho Chicago club would
act as the go-between for tho American
league. Colonel Rogers said today:
"While I do not know positively that Mr.
Hart will take a message from Baa John
con to tho National lcaguo meotlng next
week, tho tnforenco Is that he will. Mr.
Johnson has evidently had a talk with Mr.
Hart, who has consented to convey the
proposition of the American league.
"If Mr. Johnson desires to havo the league
taken In on equal terms with, the parent
body he will hardly have our consent. ,H
cannot expect us to consent toia lot of
carpetbaggers coming' Into our territory,
for which we haye paid a largo percentage
of tho $59,000 given to tho Wagaers for tho
old Athletic club.
"The National league meeting boglns on
Monday, when the board of arbitration
moets. It Is probable that the circuit com
mittee will meet at tho conclusion of the
board meeting, and then It Is to bo pre
sumed Mr. Hart will dlscloso the message
from Mr. Johnson. We will consider It, of
course, but it will go beforo the whole body
for action. Of course It all depends on the
nature of the message what action will be
taken."

CHICAQO, 111., December 6. (Special.)
Among iho Catholic Foresters In thla city
uono is better known or moro universally
esteemed than Mr. S. P. Rush, conductor
(president) of Holy Name court No. 20.
His many friends inside the order and
outside of Its ranks, were, therefore, much
startled to loarn that his life was in
dangor, he having Brlght's disease, that
most terrible and fatal disease.
Mr. Rush, however, made a grand strug
gle for his life, taking prescriptions' and
pills and powders, until his stomach re
fused food. At last, bis local druggist,
guided by the nurrerous Inquiries being
made at bis store for Dodd's Kidney Pills,
advised Mr. Rush to buy and try some.
This he did, and lo his delight he was re
stored to health and strength.
Mr. Rush says that after commencing
the use of Dodd's Kidney pills he felt muoh
better, but It took two months to effect a
euro.
"I took nothing else but Dodd's Kidney
pills during that time, so I know that 1
owe life and health to them."
What this wonderful remedy has done
for Mr. Rush It will certainly do for any
one. It Is the only remedy that has never
failed to cure Brlght's disease.
