and that you need have no fears as to his
fulfilling any promises you may make to
your people. He has already appeared
one hundred and twenty times in eastern
cities with continued success. Ask your
people TO lay aside the preiudices that now
exist against Dickens for not being his
own father, and assure them that no man
has ever visited this country that
SO perfectly delineates the characters
created by Dickens than his son. Charles
Dickens. | am asked almost every day if
he is TO appear again in New York. So

where they had been for two or three days
attending the meeting of county clerks
They report very pleasant visit TO the

there was right lively tussle over the
place of holding the next meeting. But
for the envy and smartness of some Of
Wichita s neighbors this city would have
been designated. As it was Topeka was
chosen. This was one time when the cap
ital and metropolis pulled together
Topeka stood by Wichita and of course the
compliment was returned, with the result
stated.

change, refused to give in list of her
property to German assessor. When
called before the commissioners. she
declared she would not pay unless COM
PEELED. and protested against foreigner,
who could vote. being sent TO assess a
native-born American who could have
no voice in declaring how the money
taken from her in taxes should be spent.
The prejudice against foreigners. IA
foreigners. is foolish and unjust but
our naturalization laws are now so lax
that men are admitted to vote long be-
fore they have become socially and in
tellectually acclimated. 1t adds to the
humiliation OF disfranchisement when
an American woman sees such men set
to rule over her. The feeling of the
Nebraska lady was very natural. Alice

Log Cabin Grandmothera.

An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
IN common weed whose medicinal qualities
have never before been suspected, q valu-
aole remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about this fact
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity % the new
discovery would, with some, seem 10 throw
just doubt upon its power. To make IL one
has only 10 pour hot water over the leaves
Of the plant. In its preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re
quired.
Is il TO be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted as Of such
great merit In these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and lnfusions Of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted 50
great an influence in the maintenance of
health and llfei
Certainly notl
The greatest pieces OF machinery strike
US most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success Of grand
mothers remedies was their freshness and
simplicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundanuy supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for use. DreadIng TO call doctor be-
cause OF the expensiveness Of his far made
trips, they Immediately gave attention to
the disease and routed 1t before it had
gained foothold
The OLD Log Cabin grandmother, n cap
and high tucked gown, and perchauce be
spectacled IN rough silver, her weary feet
encasei in 'hum made" slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises 10 the view Of many
a man and woman to-day as the early years
of life pass in retrospect.
The secrets of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace Of good
health. To restore the lost art Of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire Of a
well-known philanthropist in whose ances-
trail liue were eight ''goodly physicians OF
the old style, men who never saw medical
college save in the woods, nor "medical
diploma except that inscribed on the faces
Of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing
the old formula, which today are put forth
as Log Cabin remediesn-sarsaparill hops
and buchu, cough and consumption, and
several others, by Warner, whose name is
famous and standard for medical excel
lence all over the globe. These Oldest, new.
est and best preparations have been recog-
nized as Of such superexcellence that to-day
they can be found with all leading dealers.
When Col. Ethan Allen was making his.
tory along our northern frontier during the
revolution, Col Seth Warner, the fighting
Sheridan of that army, who was skillful
natural doctor, used many such remedies,
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa-
parilla and cough and consumption remedy
among the soldiers with famous success.
They are noble inheritance which we oi
to-day may enjoy to the full, as did our fore
fathers, and using, reap, as did they, the
harvest of life full of days and full Of use

Who Are the People2

The constitution and laws OF tn.
United States were framed for the bene-
fit OF the people. Who are the people
OF the United States, the men or the
women? And If the women compose a
part of the people, why should they not
share in the privilege of voting' 1t is
not necessary for a lady to stride
around in boots and breeches simply
because she is entitled to vote.
Neither, If women voted, would old
bachelors be Obliged to bake their own
bread to eat with their cold coffee.
When the marriage service is over man
and wife become as one, and the wife is
generally the better hall. Now, as she
is supposed TO be better than the man.
she should know better how to vote.
Women will stop the drunkenness on
election day at the polls and instead OF
seeing our American ballots cast into a
filthy old tobacco box, among the smell
OF bad cigars, old cheese and Bologna,
purified beer and sawdust, in some
closed-up saloon. crowded with the
scum of the earth. there would be the
fragrance of beautiful flowers, and
sweet song OF birds would take the
places of oaths and curses. We feel
assured the good women of America
will counterbalance both bad men and
bad women. In Chicago | have per-
sonally known men to borrow neigh
bor's baby to carry it in their arms 10
the polls for protection. When the
ladies vote we can leave the baby at
home O. female baby is as useful for
protection at the polls as a male.)
Women would vote to prohibit foreign
countries from opening the doors of
their lunatic asylums and vomiting
their contents upon America. Saloon
keepers and old bummers are opposed

prived OF their grog. Western Rural.

Ancient Urns of Clay.

In June last an interesting archaeological
discovery was made at Sonderby, on the
West coast Of Jutland. 1t consisted OF
about thirty urns of clay found in a mass
at a depth of three feet. They occupied an
area four feet wide and ten feet long.
Formerly there was shallow lake here.
Most of the vessels rested upon rough
stones, but there was no trace of stone
walls or roof; they varied from two to
eight inches in height In most Of them
lay ashes and remnants of calcined bones,
while the bottom was lined with some
reed like kind of grass. Some of the urns
had lids, but others appear TO have been
placed in the earth open. Most Of them
were very simple in form, with smooth
sides, but on some of the larger there were
three knots at the sides, and attempts al
rough ornamentation. No metal or stone
implement was found. In the same moss
some hugh oak trunks were also dug out
