Mrs. Clara B. Colby, in deliver
ing au address the other day to a
couveutiouof the friends of woman's
suffrage at Beatrice, closed with
these words :
"Friends, woman suffrage is more
than the privilege of casting the bal
lot and helping to make a law or
elect an officer. It is more than the
possible equality of wages, impar
tiality of statutes, or attainment of
political preferment. It is the basis
for the enfranchisement of the soul.
It is placing woman in responsible
relations to the nation and the rulers
of nations. It's uniting the good
aud thoughtful among men and wo
men in a common cause, that of
securing more favorable conditions
fur the individual, a purer aud more
vital atmosphero for society, tho
perpetuity of the grand principles of
our government, and tho final regen
eration of humanity. In this view
of it we bespeak your interest in tho
sessions of this convention, aud your
candid and careful consideration of
the matter at issue."
Tuesday night of last week Mr.
aud Mrs. Allan Fairbanks, living on
a farm near Turner Junction, HI.,
wakened up about midnight, by
hearing a noise in their bed room,
and saw three men standing near the
foot of their bed, two of them with
pistols leveled against them and one
having a dark lantern. The pistols
were taken in charge by one of the
robbers, while the other ransacked
the room. Not finding auythiug
valuable, the couple were made to
get up, and disclose the whereabouts
of their money $000, concealed in the
bed clothes. They had already ob
tained possession of $10,000 in gov
ernment bonds, which will, of
course, do the robbers no good. Mr.
Fairbanks, his wife and two servant
girls were treated to indignities, and
Mr. Fairbanks tortured by holding
a lamp to his bare feet to compel
him to disclose the whereabouts ol
more money. His wife was kicked
and otherwise maltreated in his
presence, her uightclothcs lorn from
her body, and she compelled to lie
on the floor while the brutes rolled
her over and over with their heavy
and mud-covered boots. The teeth
were knocked out of Mr. Fairbanks
mouth, and one of tho girls has tho
corners of her mouth torn back into
her cheek. Gags were fastened into
the mouths of their victims and their
hands and arms pinioned, and thus
they were left. Mrs. F. recognized
two of the fiends as men who bad
been at the house the day before,
representing themselves as horse
buyers, and asking and receiving
dinner.
