April. and that he has perfected plans whoroby
ho will DO able 70 oles creator Inducements than
over baiore to people Of small moans In search
Of homes. h1r. Brown has done moro than any
other ono man In Chicago in providing tho
laboring cassos with independent homes, and
yo hope that ho Mill continue bis efforts In that
direction as long, as thess senalna clerk. =
mechanic. = teacher. or q laboror unprovidod
With home. alr. Browns plan Of cheap lots
and long. .tImo payments seems to exactly meet
tho requirements OF large number who are
thereby encouraged 10 economy and Industry.
Five dollars per month js not very much for any
one 10 sayo. Tho cutting on OF one oxttAYagnnt
habit will In yesr'a tin,o suffice to pay for =

Now that women have secured their
right to vote at school elections and to
hold school Offices, it is an interesting
question as to how the matter shall to
inaugurated. We would suggest that
husbands take their wives and. young
men their sisters or sweethearts, and
20 to the next school election as tliey
would to concert or q meeting. Let
us inaugurate woman voting under the
best circumstances and in the most Or
derby manner. Women vote at church
elections, and why not at school and
other elections. Woman voting is a
most decided success III Wyoming.
Come out, ladies', and don't be afraid to
exercise YOUR right.
