A Good Time for Aliens to Get Their
Final Naturalization Papers.

The following, taken from the
Portage Register, is applicable 20 this
county.
The circuit court for THE county
will meet or Tuesday, tn 18th, and
at any time during lts sitting, per-
sons entitled to receive naturaIiza-
ton papers may receive them on ap-
plication to the court. The clerks fee
is S1.00.
Most aliens on coming to this
country take out their @first papers,
which eptitIes them to vote after {.
residence 10 this state OF one year !;
in other states different length of
time is required-in some of them
TWO or three years, or more, and in
others no more than three months.
Scarcely one in ten however, in this
state, ever do more than TO take
their first papers. This is all wrong,
and every foreigner ought to take
out his final papers as soon as he is
entitled 10 them,
1t is mistake to suppose that 6
young man coming to this country
and remaining here five years before
he becomes OF age, becomes entitled
to citizenship thereby.
Ii is q mistake to suppose that il
the parent declares his intention to
become a citizen, that fact entities
mis- children under q years of age,
10 the rights of suffrage on arriving
at their majority.
1t is mistake to suppose that an
alien becomes entitled to vote if he
hs served in the army three years
or any other length of time.
If foreign born citizen obtains
bis full naturalization papers, that
fact entities bis children to all the
rights of citizenship on their arrival
at age mere declaration to be-
come a citizen does not give his
children any additional rights.
A person of foreign birth who
came to this country under eighteen
years Of age. may take out his full
naturalization papers st any term of
court, after having been in this
country five years, without making
a previous declaration.
So may person WAC has served
in the army aud has been henorab~
ly discharged. take ont fail na'aral-
ization papers without ha7irg male
q previous declaration OF inteations
to becaTn+ a c''iztn.
Another usry important fact 20 be

Lancaster ought to have store with fine
assortment of stationery, including, inks, pen
ellis, pens, papers and envelopes of all descrip-
TONS blank books, pictures, literary works,
etc With this in view We have written to
manufacturers and dealers, and if other par
ties don't get the start of US we expect soon to
have a well selected assortment of all these
unless we except the last named. Our facili-
ties for purchases of these goods are doubtless
unequaled, enabling US to sell cheaper than
others could, and besides we are often called
upon By parties in different parts of the
county for articles in this line which it seems
cannot be had without sending TO cities.

There are very serious reasons why the
Democrats OF Grant County should come up
to the help of their editor, Mr.. Refsteck.
His symptoms have been bad for soma time
and they seem to be growing worse and
more of them. as Democrats, you have not
listened to his cries as you ought, and we
know his cries have not been as loud as his
Affections are grievous. Republicans have
helped him all they could for which he is
grateful, but you ought not to leave him en-
tirely to their generosity We have done
much to restrain hands that have threatened
him injury but the sorrowfu day will soon come
Helm him. Democrats. help him.

what a Cigarette Contains.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin has been
investigating cigarette smoking, and con-
cludes that if one cigar Gf it is considered in
furious at ally is six times as injurious as a
cigarette. The weight of tobacco in cigar
rette of average size is not quite fifteen grains
(the exact average of twenty Cigarettes weigh
ed being IA 8 graIus), or nearly one grimme,
VIII lie the average weight of the paper is
o Sc grain, or 0.037 gramme, which is about
3 per cent of the whole weight of the ciga-
rette. The weight of tobacco in cigar of
average size, however, is about 90 grains, (the
exact average of twenty cigars weighed being
91.6 gr iins), or grammes. The 6 per cent.
in weight of paper in cigarette Is composed
principally of woody fibre--generally made
from cotton rags-aad this, burning with the
tobacco, produces the same empyreumatic
substances as the woody fibre of the tobacco
itself, and is not more injurious, when moth
ing but tobacco and raper are used in making
the cigarette.
