It is expected that the funeral will be attended by hundreds of Mrs. Dun lway's personal friends and by citizens who want, in this way. to do honor to the pioneer suffrage leader. Persons in all parts of the state yes terday testified to the love and esteem in which the venerable advocate of equal rights for women was held. Even those who were opposed to the en franchisement of women paid, her high honor and reepect. Although, on account of her extreme age and her recent illness, her death was not unexpected, the news that she finally had passed away was more or less of a shock to her many friends yesterday and formed the topic of much quiet discussion among people In all parts of the city. In this connection many of the in teresting incidents in connection with the life of Mrs. Duniway were recalled. The official proclamation making equal suffrage jn Oregon effective -was penned by Mrs. Duniway's own hand. This honor was conferred on her by Governor West, on November 30, 1912. The Governor called on Mrs. Duni way at her apartments in Portland and asked her to write the proclama tion, which she gladly did. The docu ment in her own handwriting is now on file In the office of the Secretary of tate at Salem. A notable group of suffrage leaders witnessed the ceremony. After Mrs. Duniway had completed the draft of the proclamation. Governor West at tached his official .signature to the document. Below the Governor's signature ap pear the words: "The above is trans cribed by Abigail Scott Duniway in her 79th year. Mrs. Duniway's 7Sth birthdav, on October 22, 1912. was a notable event in Oregon. A great public demonstra tion was given in her honor at the Gipsy Smith Tabernacle, where thou sands of people gathered, to pay a trib ute of love and respect to her. Mem bers of her family, officials of the state and local governments, old friends and suffrage leaders from various parts of the Northwest were-seated on the plat form with her. One of the principal speakers of that occasion was Mrs Mae Arkwright Hutton, of Spokane, who died last week. Mrs Duniway received many beauti ful floral offerings and hundreds of congratulatory messages from all parts of the country. Mrs. Duniway was the first woman 1n Multnomah County to register as a voter. This privilege was extended to her February 14. 1913. through the courtesy of John B. Coffey. County Clerk. Mrs. Duniway at that time was unable to leave her apartments, and Mr. Coffey personally took the registra tion books to her room. She regis tered as a Republican. She signed her name with a firm hand in. the blank paces provided for that purpose. She gave her occupation as "author." It is customary for women of her 5re she was 78 at that time to write "retired" as their occupation, but Mrs. Duniway insisted that she was too active to be classified as "retired." . Mrs. Duniway always condemned the militant methods of the English suf fragettes, and gave forcible utterance to this sentiment at a reception given in her honor at Eugene, November 18, 1913. "Women can lead men all right." she said then, "but they must keep the strings out of sight. You cannot go after them hammer and tongs. If you do they Will rebel. "One trouble with the woman suf frage movement is that it Is being engineered by professional old maids." ... A sculptored bust of Mrs. Duniway was completed about two years ago by Ttoswell Dosch. a young artist of Portland. It now is in possession of her family. The bust shows the head bent slightly forward and the eves partially closed, indicating an attitude ot deep study. All the lines of her face were faithfully reproduced. "The bust was on exhibition for a time after Us completion at the Portland Art Museum. Mis. Duniway appeared one time In the moving-picture film. This was when she cast her first vote at the municipal election, in 1913. The film, however, was not shown, at the request of Mrs. Duniway. The pictures show her leaving her home and going to the polls, and also show her leaving the automobile and entering the election booth. - Mrs. Duniway suffered a severe ill ness during the latter part of Februarr and the early part of March. 1912. and was detained at home for several weeks. For a time she was threatened with an attack of pneumonia. Hard work In connection with launching the woman sutrrage campaign of that year brought about her illnesfi. Her won derful vitality overcame the disease. and throughout the campaign of 19!? fhe was an active worker. She per sonally received the returns election night that told her that equal suffrage in Oregon had become a reality. Mrs. Duniway was the first woman In Oregon summoned to serve on a Jury, This was in early December. 1912, Im mediately after equal suffrage had be come a fact. The summons was a mere formality, however. In recognition of Mrs. Duniway's lifelong battle for the ballot for her sex. erte was not required to serve. The case w-as one in the Mu nicipal Court and afterwards wss tried by a jury of women, mho disagreed. This ended the experiment of callini women to jury service In Portland. In the horse and vehicle parade of the 1912 Rose Festival the entry of the women s suffrage organizations won the first prize a silver loving cup. This trophy afterwards was presented by the committee of suffrage women ivho had charge of the float" to .Mrs. Duniway. The ceremony of presentation took place at her home and was witnessed by many of her friends and members of her family. ' An oil painting of Mrs. Duniway was completed by Edwin D. Belts.' a New York artist, about four years ago, and presented to the Oregon Suffragist As sociation. It now hangs in the Na tional Art Gallery at Washington. D. C. The portrait was unveiled at the Portland Hotel, September 16. 1911. The ceremony was attended by many of Mrs. Duniway's friends and by suffrage leaders. The picture shows the mother of equal suffrage in Oregon seated in an arm chair. The likeness is declared to be an excellent one. . Mrs. Duniway was opposed to prohi bition in the form-it is now being advo cated. In the campaign of 1914 she took a more or less active part in the effort to defeat prohibition. She was a firm believer in temperance, however, which she said would be more effective than absolute prohibition. She believed in personal liberty. EIGEXE FEEI.S DEATH KEE.VLY Intense Reverence Expressed at Vni verslty for Mrs. Duniway. EUGENE. Or.. Oct. 11. (Special.) Word of the death of Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway-' produced an expression of in tense reverence in Eugene today, espe cially on the University campus. Mrs. Duniway championed the cause of the State University during the referendunr. fights several years ago, and had been looked to as one of its strongest friends.' She took a particular interest in the women of the state institution, and was one of the first to Join the movement for the erection of a wom en's building, and at one time worked toward having a bill brought before the Legislature asking for a special appro priation for this structure. At the present time the. students are at work slowly gathering funds, hoping event ually to have enough to complete the plan which Mrs. Duniway belped In originating. President P. I Campbell, on learning of the death of Mrs. Duniway. said: "I have known Mrs. Duniway since boyhood and I nave followed with great interest the efforts she made for equal suffrage in Oregon, especially as my own sympathies were with her in this fight. "It Is with great regret that I learn of the death of this woman of such unusual strength and personality and intellectual force. "She has been much interested in the University of Oregon, particularly in th women of the University. She helped the students work for the crea tion of a fund for the workmen's build ing, and at one time planned to work for the building before tbe Legisla ture." Mrs. P. L. Campbell, a member of the Eugene Fortnightly Club, returned yes terday from Portland, where, only yes terday, she left messages from the Eu gene women for Mrs. Duniway. who was interested in the work of the Eu gene clubwomen and who has visited them here. .

Flynn, at the Eleventh-Street Theater last night, took up some of the fine points of many diseases that his audience has asked hiin to touch on appendicitis, hardening of the liver, gall stones, prolapsed stomach and heart disease. Flynn said: "Watch out for the danger signals. You read of someone dying suddenly at some church social or some recep tion and you say 'I can't believe it. it Is so sudden." There is no such a thing as sudden with nature. It doesn't treat us that way. She sends out one warning after another of our over drawn acccount at her bank. When we pay no heed, but still keep on draw ing, she rends the bill collector around and we have to pay or foreclosure takes place.
