K. S. held its fourth annual convention Nov. 149th, in tho Christian church at Ft. Dr.

Surah O. Hall, tho presidont, was in the chair. The most interesting feature of the occasion was tho presence of Susan B. Anthony at each of tho three sessions. She wus not expected in the morning, but learning that tminy of the country poople were anxious to see and hour her, but could not be present in the afternoon, sho very kindly volunteered to come und give brief address.

Except for hef speeches, opening prayers by Mr. Brimhall and tlio Rev. J. F. Kellogg, and it short and excellent address by Mrs.

Churl-ton of Fort Scott, on the encouraging advance of equal rights ill the South, which she hail lately visited, the day was devoted to business. Delegates orrivod from seven of the auxiliary associations in the county. The recent Stale Sulfruge Convention was reported by Genevieve Lol Hawley, and the County Lecture Bureau by Mrs Annie K. Hough tou. Mrs, Gordon, of Hammond, and Messrs, Brimhall and Fruzierwore addod to this bureau, vice members romovod from the county.

Miss Hawley reported for tho Press Com mittee, which wus continued as be fore. The following officers wore oloctod for the ooming year President) Dr. Sarah C. Hall, Ft. Scott Vice President, Mrs.

Frank Hiatt, Hiattvillej Corresponding Seorotary, Mrs. Ella Ambrose, Ft. Scott Recording Secretary, Miss L. Cornelia Brown, Fort Scott; Treasurer, Mrs. Surah Fortney, Marmaton.

In the evening tho church was crowded to its utmost capacity. After an organ voluntary by Mrs, Annie 13. Houghton, and a very appropriate prayer and short speech from tho Rev. W. C.

Porter, Miss Anthony was introduced nnd spoke for more than un hour, during which her audience followed her argument with deep attention. By giving many incidents of the wide difference in the respect paid to the demands of laborers, Irishmen, (Sor-mans and colorod men. when they had not and when they hud the ballot, she forcibly showed its import ance to women. She reviewed the recent campaign in South Dakota, attributing the defeat of the suffrage amendment largoly to the many ignorant foreign men, who, though often unable even to speak English, much more to road or understand a word of the American Constitution, were yet able to vote against admit ting intelligent American women to equal rights with their lordly selveB. In the course of this review, she gave high and deserved praise to speeches made in Dakota by Mrs Laura M.

Johns, president of the K. E. S. After "relating the attempts to secure full equal suffrage by an amendment to the United Slates Constitution, sho closed by dwelling on the vital necessity to all women and men of Kansas of women using their rights of school and municipal suffrage, and urged that this right brought with it a duty, and that thoy wero now responsible to man and God if by their neglect or folly thoy failed to elect officers who would make their children's schools all they should bo, and enforce city ordinances against vico. 'Memberships wen then takon, und the association adjourned to meet at Marmaton in threo months.

Spectatob. A BIG BUSINESS. How Fort Scott China Hall Receives Large Importations from Abroad. An Interesting with Mr. Robensj Thinking perhaps a few dots from one of tho heaviest importers of this city would be of interest to your readers, your reporter had an inter view recently with Mr.

J. P. Robons, manager of tho Fort Scott China Hall, and niter a few preliminary remarks, hero is some of the conver nation that passed between us "How about trade, how do you fiud it "Wo have never had a better trade than now, both in the jobbing de prrtment and the retail side. Our correspondents are paying more promptly than ever, while our de- parture from the old system in only delivering in the city has wonderful ly increasod our sales in the surrounding towns. "Why, on all amounts of $5.00 or over we deliver the goods free of all package, drayage or freight charges in the town whore the purchaser lives.

Of course these shipments are mostly from the finer goods, nnd by direct purchases we tire enabled to make all our dinner wares and oouuty offices, has revived general Interest in the tonrt hoiise Aiitidtion, which extends to residents in the country, and nearly every dy the matter is brought up at tho county offices, when the farmers tome in to pay their taxes. It Is thought by many of the leading men of tho county, that the time htm conio to mako un earnest move lo secure a placn for tho various branches of the oouufy government, owned by the public, and stop puying rent. The pliiu most favorably ponsidcr- cd, is that referred to in tho News some Jays ago, ie to erect a build ing on tho cornor lot formerly occupied by the old stone court house, and over the two vaults now there. The stylo of the building to be simi- ar to the Richards block, with court room in the third story and spacious offices on tho other floors. Thp con struction can be dosignod with tho view to using the structure for some other purpose, when the county fin ally builds court liouso proper, and it wouj(f sell fyrall jt cost at any time.

County Treasurer Horuaday, states that thoro is a sinking fund in liis hands, which by next ypar will amount to over which was created by interest on county bonds, bought in by tho commissioners Borne years ago, and which will never bo needed for the redemption of said bonds. By a special act of the legislature, this fund can be used for the purposo of constructing such a building as is desoribod above, and the accruing interest on these same bonds, will pay the balance of tho cost, before tho bonds are due and cancelled. This plan would dispose of tho office question, most effectually nnd practically, for some j'cars, and be a great saving to the county, while it would in no way interfere witH a future proposition to build a perma nent courthouse. In fact the saving in rents alone, would be sufficient In a few years, to build a court house, to Bay nothing about convenience and safoty for records. The county commissioners would like to hear expressions of opinions upon this plan from citizens of the county.

Ft. Scott News. The County Offices Stay Where They Are. Yesterday afternoon the county commissioners finished up tho Barnesville bridge matter and settled with the stone contractor, and upon convening this morning they took up the question of locating the coun ty offlcos. A full consideration of the government's proposition to lot tho county use the post offloe court room, led the board to decide not to accept, but to let tho court remain where it is for the present.

Mr. Eaton, the manager of the Eagle block, also appeared before the board, and after some modifications in the old contract, the board decided to continue the rental of the offices located thore. The price was reduced about $600 from the rental paid for these rooms under the for mer contract. This settles the coun ty office question for several years, and everybody concerned appears to be, satisfied. The commissioners adjourned at noon today, having no farther business.

Three of the boys concluded to try their luck Thnnksirivinir Day. On account of the modesty of tho hunters in question, who do not wish themselves parudod boforo tho public as crack marksmen, we will mention no names. Tho first to attract their at tontion was a flock of mallards. So they "laid their heads together" (the hunters not the mallards) and began to plan campaign. They decided to leuvo one-third of their force on tho left lo execute a sort of flank movement, while the other two-thirds, by a hasty detour, gained tho rear.

At a given signal a gall ing fire was poured in upon tho un suspecting. When the hunters open ed their eyes (they had them closed during tho flro) instead of tho fields of earnngo that they expected to view they saw only the calm walor and the ducks winging their way toward tho Arctic.

OUR WASHIJiUTOM LEITEI, I From Our Kegittnf foirenpondcnt, 1 Tho qtilol opening of the session of Congress to-day is gonerully rec-on'tiizod ns the calm which always precedes a storm, and no Reunion ever gave advance indications of bo-Jug more interesting and stormy than the short session of tho Fifty-first Congress, which was rapped to prdor in both House and Senate at noon to day. Tho reading of the President's message was the only business transacted in either House to day, and for the time being it is the exclusive topic of conversation wherever you go. Republicans consider it an extraordinary, able, patriotic and statesmanlike document, while democrats denounco it as a political slump speech. Its real status is to bo found between those extremes, It is, like all of Mr. Harrison's public utterances, extremely woll prepared it would bo difficult for one to say what he does in more choice language it contains no more partisan politics than dozens of similar messages from other Presidents have contained.

It certainly has already resulted in giving Mr, Harrison a much higher rating among tho members of his party in Congress than ho haa heretofore had, and it. also proves him to be the possessor of more moral courage, or as the boys put it "sand" or "grit," than he has been credited with having and already some of his close friends are saying that it will give him a renomlnation ifl 1893. Idon't exactly see it in that light, but still stranger '-things'' have happened Under ordinary circumstances President is always renominated by his party. The question is whether the republican managers will con sider recent events "ordiuary circumstances, which is to say tho least doubtful. The republican quorum did not materialize in tho House to-day, and many hot-headed democrats are predicting that it will not, excopt by fits and jerks during tho session; but tho repnblicitn "whips say they will have a quorum within 48 hours and that it will remain here until March 4, next, and it looks as though thoy were The party has too much at stake this winter for" Its members of the House to absent themselves and it isn't likely that any considerable number of them will do so though it ifl hinted that some of them will exact considerable patronage from the administration as the prico of their constant attendance upon the sessions of the House: but this is only an unvouch- cd for rumor, One of the queer aspects of the political situation is that the demo crats all talk as though the Farmers Allianoe movement is to result in the certain election of a democratic Presidont in 1892.

It is already evi dent that when the democratic House comes in an attempt is to be made to capture the votes of that organi zation by adopting a number of the measures to whioh tho Alli ance is pledged, v. It is, of course, too early to say whether this movement on tho part of the democrats is sin cere or what effect it will have upon the noxt national contest, According. to-republican authority the democrats have beon "hollering before they got out of the woods" on tho apportionment question, by saying that thoy could offset any gains the republicans could possibly make under the new apportionment by redisricting tlio States in which thoy control tho legislatures, of which there happens to bo an uuus- milly largo number just now. Tho republicans say they will prevent this by adding paragraph to tho apportionment bill prohibiting any prti'tiHnn rodistnciing or, frerrymiin-jlonntf by stale legmlnlHron. There CITY LUMBER YAKD.
