Buff rngo association , which met nt the First
Methodist Episcopal church , Seventeenth
and Davenport streets , were called to order
nt 9. : a ) o'clock yesterday morning by the chair
man , Mrs. C. H. Colby , of Hcatrice. At that
time there were scarcely a dozen present ,
nnd these were the orange badge of the W.
S. A..with the words "E'inality ' to All. "
The chair , however , proceeded to business
by the appointment of tin committees on

ice.The secretary , Mrs , M. I. Hond , then road
Iho minutes of the last meeting , which was

The plan nnd scope ot tlio national enroll
ment committee was then briefly skutchcd ,
und nil were advised to give their names ,
that they might bo presented in petition to
the state legislature anil nt Washington for
woman's cnfr.itiehisement. There were
some 12,000 names which had already been
gathered and tabulated by counties , and it
was desired to increase tlie number. Mrs ,
Susan II. Anthony was then introduced , and
remarked that Nebraska stood second to
Ohio with its 111,000 signers in tlio noble cause
of woman's HiilTrago. Shu insinuated , how
ever , tlmt Ohio hud had excellent opportu
nities for colloe.ting these petitions ivt tlio ex-
Dosition and other exhibitions which the del
egates hero lacked. Allusion was made to
tlio speeches of Senators Ulair of New
Hampshire , Dolph of Oregon , advocating
female suffrage. In conclusion she wished
till to enter heart and soul into this move
ment and to advocate thu cause of all candi
dates who were in favor ot giving the right
of vote and of sitting on juries to
women.
Mrs. M. C. Arter , Kirkwooil , gaVe a very
graphic description of how women may tuko
part in politics and elevate the moral char-
iicter of the male voters. She said that
many men had conic to her after election
and thanked her for her efforts in bringing
the women to the polls ; tlmt no ribald jests
or drunken blackguarding was heard.
Mrs. Hitchcock , Fremont , president W. C.
T. U. , then made n few remarks about the
progress of the cause in that city and how
they were able to secure the election of two
women to tlio school board. They hud put
up a candidate and made a hoiise-to-housu
canvass and the sentiment was so stroiic in
their favor that they received also the re
publican nomination. 'I'llIK disgruntled the
'opposing male candidate who sought a nom
ination at the hands of the democratic party. .

At II o'clock Miss Susan 13. Anthony do-
livorrd un audress. I wnnt , shu said , to
llrst make a few remarks about the vice pros-
( dents. Wo wiwit no llgtirehead In this asso
ciation but these who wilt come down to the
hard work tliat is before them. I would KIIL--
gcst the plan proposed uuine twenty years
ago by Messrs. Stoddart und Plllsbury and
nructisod to-day in Kansas. Lot each vice
president sou to it that each county of her
district is alive to the work of woman suf
frage and the people are being educated by
live associations. Do not stop hero. Let
the good work go to the school districts ,
Mrs. Bird , of Maple Grove , has told us what
work has been accomplished in bur schoo
district , and can not this bo done by ener
getic women nil through the statol Ihel
only trouble scums to be that women shrink
from this work because it is not fashionable ,
It Is becoming so popular , however , that it
will soon bo fashionable. U seems an cusy
matter to outline this on paper but it has its
dinicultic.-i for all women who have the trials
nnd troubles of a household to devote their
tiino to the development , education and en
franchisement of women , The object of en
franchisement is to bo nblo , with vastly lots
expenditure of time and money , to uccom-
the ends doslrod while dlsfnuichlhed.
tilisli
t is not the men who are at fault , but u U
the fault of thu women who should ordain to
obtain tlila enfranchisement , to nccuro ju.-t-
tlco for themselves , I remember when Mln-
iiosota obtained iho right to vote at school
elections. 1 was at Rochester , Minn. , at the
tlmo. The many thought that school sufTrago
amounted to nothing , but I will give you an
example. The board of education had resolved -
solved to cut down the salaries of the funialo
tcucbors from WO to $ K > . There wcro many
women who had a sister or a daughter who
wore thus affected. They uiada a house-to-
house canvass in the interest of two women
vaudldulos who were elected , and the uicus-
tro was defeated.
The spcakrcthon considered the question
from a political standpoint. 1 urn In favor ,
she said , of no party whatever. Wherever
there la a imm running-for congress , or any
other office , U ho in outspoken , or has do-
plurpd himself In favor of womau
ho is tlio man tlmt I would KIVO my Bunport.
The discourse lasted ono hour ami llflcen
minutes.
A collection was then tnkoti up to defray
the pxpptnos of the convention.

The following memorial was then road by
Mra Wilson. Lincoln , mid was nftcrwarils
approved ami recommended to bo sent to the
governor :
To Ills Kxccllency , the Governor of No-
hraska , the Ilonorablo John M. Thayer :
Honorable Sir : Uollevin that all citl/cnsof
these United States , irrespective of sex , nro
born free mid equal with certain Innllcnablo
rights , mid that "thorc is wealth but life , "
tliat , country is richest which nourishes the
greatest number of noble unit happy human
beings , and believing that the best interests
of thu people comprising the state of No-
briiAlcu ilcmniid the assistance of
women In tlio making mid executing
of laws , of which power the present
statutes deprive her. while holding her mncn-
ahlo to law. Therefore we , the Woman KuC-
frago association of Nebraska , in convention
assembled , do pray your excellency that In
your inaugural address at the opening of the
now term of ofllcc , which God la Ills inilnitu
iwiver and wisdom has granted , you will rec
ommend to the legislature the enactment of
a statute granting municipal suffrage to the
women of Nebraska.

A vote of thanks to Mr , and Mrs. Llnlngcr

The Ueceptlon.
A reception was tendered last night in the
parlors of the Puxton hotel by the association
to Mrs. Stantoa and Miss Anthony. There
wcro about one hundred IndiiM ami gentle
men present to meet the National association
representatives. Mrs. Clara Colby presided
and after a few introductory remarks eulo
gistic of the association's honored guests ,
she called upon Mr. C. S. Montgomery to ad
dress the meeting. Mr. Montgomery said a
variety of pleasant things about the fair sex
anil their adaptability to engage in all the
social business and political questions of Uio
day on mi equal footing with man. Ho fur
ther referred with much gratification to the
decrease in the prejudiced fooling that used
to exist ton years ago against the admission
of women to the suffrage and prophesied an
early consummation of the hopes of the suf
frage association.
At the conclusion of Mr. Montgomery
speech , Mrs. Colby said : ' 'We are all proud
of Ml- . Montgomery iH-ceunso ho is a demo
crat1 at wh'c'.i everybody laughed.
The Hcv. Mr. House was the next speaker ,
and his speech took a humorous turn. The
reverend gentleman's humor was derived
principally from a "roast" of the daily news-
JMpjrs , the proprietors of which ho flatly
charged with distorting the truth to suit
their own ends when speaking of
the Woman's Suffrage association. Ho took
comfort , however , from a knowledge of the
fact that God was on the side of ttio associa
tion.
Lawyer Points then spoke upon the ques
tion of woman's stiff ruga and gave it as his
opinion that the exclusion of the gontlcr sex :
from the franchise was Illegal.
Mrs. Anthony delivered one of her charac
teristic suec-ches explanatory of tlio hard
ship that women had to contend against
now-a-days. She also advised the members
present to go on in their good work. Other
.speeches followed and the reception was pro
nounced by these who ought to know , to
have been a great success.

Government.
Cheyenne , Wyo. , Dec. 4. fSpoelal Tolo-
llram to Tun HIB : ] In the matter of fifty-
live descr. land entries lickl for cancellation
by tlio general land ofllce in June , HST , de
cisions were rendered by the Cheyenne land
oftlco , to-day , cancelling tlfty-ono entries and
dismissing four. Hy this decision over thirty
thousand acres of agricultural lands revert
to the government. The entries wore
umdo for the interest of the
Union Cattle company , and the
Goshel Hale Irrigation company , by forty-six
cntrymen , living in Now York , Now Jersey
and Massachusetts ; five in Wyoming , and
four whoso place of residence cannot bo
found. The cancellations were recommended
upon the report of u special agent of the land
olllce , who investigated the actual work done
at the time proof on the claims was made ,
and who found Hint very few ditches wcro
constructed , and those not adequate ) U ) irri
gate and reclaim the land ; that the work of
reclamation was of a very Ilimsy and trilling
nature , and that the skeleton ditches , some
of which ran up hill , wore built solely
for the purpose of Droving up.
At tlio hearing in tlio local
land ofllce the defense made no light on the
merits of the case , but moved for their dis
missal on' the ground that the land oDIco here
had no jurisdiction , which motion was over
ruled. The defense will appeal their ease to
llio general land oOlce , They admit that at
the time of final proof the lands in question
had not boon fully reclaimed , but olntiii they
wore acting In good faith , anil tlmt they
afterward made ample ditches and fully com
plied with the law , which requires thorough
reclamation of lands by irrigation and the
raising of crops.

AMUSKUKNl'S.
The popularity of Sol Smith Russell was
amply attested by the largo audicnuo that
witnessed at Hoyd's opera house last night
the first production m this city of "A Poor
Kelntlon. " The play is a uniiiuo production ,
not wholly now as to all of its features , and
not free from Improbable situations , but
possessing throughout a strong human inter
est , with much quaint and homely humor ,
and at least one character , Noah Vale ,
assumed by Mr , Hussoll , which is
essentially original on ttio stage ,
though his counterpart In real life has been
legion. Vale has a genius for invention , and
after years of toil and privation has per
fected u machine in which ho believes there
is a fortune. Ho goes to Roderick Fnyo ,
n wealthy mail with u wicked partner , to ne
gotiate for the sale of his machine , taking
with him a drawing of it. Ovuivomu by
hunger while alone In the house of Fnyo ho
faints , and while in that condition the
wicked partncr.cJosoph Slcrrctt , robs him of
tlie drawing which shows the plan of tlio
machine , The serious business of tlio
play editors about this incident , mid the vil-
laiii in the character of Storrott i.s fully de
veloped. Vale takes his loss philosophically
ami his humor Hews on as before. Mr. HUH-
scll'n method is irresistible , and this itiltu | as
much us iho wit of the author set down for
him kept the audience in the best possible
mood. At the close of the llrst act he was
called before the curtain and in his own pe
culiar style acknowledged the compliment.
Certainly the character could not iiavfo boon
bettor fitted to the actor , and the Noah
Vale of Mr , Russell seems likely to become
as widely popular as tlio Colonel Sellers , of
the late John Itaymond. A good deal of
popular favor wax deservedly extended to
the Dolly Fuyc , of Miss Florence Field , and
the "Scollops" of Moiri Osbtirn merits n
word of cotntnemlation. "Cute" Is the word
to describe the Juveniles , Master Crisp anil
Aila Terry. The Jasper Stcrniti of llyon
Douglas was n creditable imper.onatlon ,
The play was received with hearty manifes
tations of favor ,

CllH'voo , Dec.I. I.A prollminary meeting
nf the waterway convention dole nteH was
held this morning. The general tenor ol
opinion of all thu speakers was opposition to
any plan of disposing of Chicago's sewngu
by means of iho Desphiines mid Illinois
rivers , which did not involve tlio building ot
n ship canal and the use of the ennnl for tha
disposal ( if the sewnge. Different dele
gates reiterated their decision not. to vote for
any solution fur tlio disposal of Clucugo't
sewage unless it iiivolveil its disposal
through a ship eanal with a nuflicioiitly
strong current to carry It through to the
Mississippi.
At the. conference in the nltornoon a largo
number ot deljj.rat's ( from cities along the
route of the proposed wat i way appeared
before Inn commission. The speeehes were
not different in nny narticiihir from those
made at the preliminary meeting. A ronolu-
lion was privieiited from the Peoriti board of
trade , protesting against tlio continuance ot
the flowing of tlie Chicago sewage down the
Illinois river. It approves of the stops taken
to secure the construction of the waterway
recommended by the convention of October.
Ibb7 , and is opposed to any modification of
the proposed work that Is not approved and
advised by the government engineers now
engaged In a preliminary survey. The asso
ciation is opposed to nny project by which
any of the sewage of Chicago can be
made to How lust Peoria unless by montm
of the waterway , as Is proposed by thu
aforesaid improvenunit. Tlie Peoria delega
tion also introduced n resolution favoring
giving Chicago permission to cut u channel
at its own expense , to Joliet , capable of Mow
ing not less than 00,000 cubic feet of water
per minute from Lake Michigan to tlio Dos-
plumes rivnr , said channel to bo not ICRA
than 22 feet in depth , MO feet in width , and
with a current not to exceed throe milo.s per
hour ; only Hie ordinary house sewage of the
city to bo allowed therein , and whenever the
general government shall proceed to the im
provement of the Dospluinos and Illinois
rivers mud channel or canal to bo turned over
to the general government for navigation
purposes.
Tno following resolutions were then Intro
duced by A. Lynch , of Ottawa :
It is the .seihu of the representatives of the
cities and towns on the Illinois rlvor repre
sented at this meeting , that they will opposa
any proposition from Chicago for the dis
posal of its sewage that will not bo coupled
with the possitlvu assurance that the chan
nel proposed to bo constructed for the pur
pose shall ln of such construction and water
capacity as will make it In all respects part
of the great waterway proposed to oonnoot
the lakes with the MlasKsljipI river.
That wo will fnvor such legislation only ns
will be agreeable to the sentiments expressed
in the foregoup ! resolution.
Ebon J. Ward oiTurcd an amendment that
the channel shall bu not leas than 100 foot
wide nor 22 feet deep , nnd have a flow at all
times of not kss than 000,000 cubic feet per
minute.
A heated dobnto ensued , some of the dele
gates holding that thu resolution would em
barrass thu commission , while sevnral
thought they hud to i-omo to Chicago to in
struct thu commission. Whllo thu dobtito
was going on many loft for home , anil when
the motion was mil only fifteen remained.
Those all voted aye and the resolution and
nini-ndmerts were carried.
