Such a commonplace outcome of the affair did not meet the views of the suffragists, who apparently desired to assume the role Of martyrs by being committed to Jail, and when the magistrate announced- his decis ion a great uproar broke out In the court I room, and ultimately the women had to be removed by force. Borne of them were Iltei-ally thrown out among -the crowds waiting outside the building. ; The shrieking women continued to make a demonstration outside the police court until Mrs. Psnkhurst, who took a prom inent part' In the disturbance In the wo men's gallery In the House of Commons in April, was again arrested. Borne of the women who had been tem porarily looked In an anteroom by the police bad a momentary revenge.

H strongly urged the farmers to perfect an organization. , "The trusts and combines, which are th agencies of the infernal regions, . call us jays, hayseeds, rubes and mossbacks, and I say that even If we-do organise, we won't J stick," he said. "I tell you that when organisation raises the prtce of products I It l the lies stirkins i.lMjiter tn- tli. wnrlil I know the .farmers will stick. Equity means a fair deal. All manufacturing lu duatriea fix the price ot their products and know whst prtce thoy are going to get for them. ' The farmer, the backbone of the Vatiun and the world's greatest pro ducer, has been going on the theory that j he will taka whatever he can get for his I products. Equity intends that the farmer I shall take his place with the world's mo- J ducers and fig a profitable price for his products. That can. only be dope by a plan of marketing products to control and regu- late the market prices." j Today's stsslon was devoted principally to addresses along the line of forming an jaaikulturtBts organisation to fix and maln- tain prices on farm products. i FAIRBANKS IN ARKANSAS ' v ice President, aa Tour of Stale, Will Deliver several Addresses Darlaar (he Day.

Weatherbes Best Woman Stiver -First Mrs. Joseph Barfcsr Around the tanbnrk ring society gathered last night for the third time this week and the evening was. If possible, more bril liant than tho previous ones. Some new faces were there, with most of the old, and new comers and Horse Show habitues seemed to enjoy themselves alike. It Is a thing that grow on one, this pleasure of the show, and each succeeding night and each succeeding show seems mors charm ing than the last. The attendance was the best ao far this season, the boxes and the seats of ths lower floor being filled, as usual, while scarcely a place in the balcony was left vacant. For popular priced seats there was a gen eral demand, aqch demand that if . a few more people come tonight the "standing room only" sign will of necessity lie hung "at (he "'en trance. " . . - .'. '' By far-he'' most, gfatlfylng rusdit. of the three nights of the show was ths capture by a Nebraska animal of the blue ribbon In the homing class.

She won In com petition with somo of the beet hunters of th world, -among them Pearl,, the cham pion jumper, owned by Weatherbes of New York. Praise from Judavea. The excellence; of the show, the good at tendance and the evident Interest and en thusiasm were frequently the subject of private remark among the Judges.

It was Council Bluffs night and to say that maoy citizens of that city were pres ent would not be doing them justice. Many Is an Indefinite term. A walk around the promenade . and a glance here and there st the boxes showed so many faces from ' across the river that no doubt was po- slble It was Council Bluffs night.
