WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
SHALL WOMEN vOTE7

Tell us, honored prilgrim fathers,
Who through stormy days and nights
Sought our shores In frost and winter
In the quest OF human rights;
Had you then no pilgrim mothers.
Seeking here for freed ON dear!
Was it only for your brothers
And your sons You labored here.
Men OF Concord. Boston Harbor.
Lexington and Bunker heights,
Were you for your sex contending?
Was it not for h-naa rights,
Was your blood thought any richer
where the fearful work was done,
Than the blood OF Molly Pitcher
On the fed OF Bennington.
Did the founders Of our Nation
Shirk our patriot mothers cause.
When they claimed for all creation
Equal rights before the laws.
When they claimed that paying taxes
Gave the taxed the right to vote.
Did thev mean should be included
Only those who wear coat.
II King George we're such tyrant
Taxing them against their Will,
Then to tax defenseless women
Made them greater tyrnats still
To affirm this is to SANDER
Men whose memory should be bright;
Sauce is for both goose and gander;
Right TO them was human right
Do we not eJpec. her service.
Must she ros obey the laws,
Must she serve. and not her ballot
Be allowed to plead her cause.
Slaves are those who toll for others
And can not express their will:
Shall we on our wives and mothers
Practice human slavery stilIs
Galley slaves. IL true and faithful
Were allowed 70 guide the boat;
Has not woman's faithful service
Fairly earned the guiding vote.
Must she now submit in silence
While the ship of State goes down,
II she comes not to the rescue.
Will she wear the martyrs crown.
Demagoyues invite destruction,
Ruin follows on our track.
Right ignored and justice trampled.
Vengeance standing at our back:
Wrongs in finance. wrongs in morals
Politics buzzsrd's nest.
Doodle jobs and base corrupt n,
Form muddy pool at best.
What We need for purifying
Is q saving moral sense:
Vital to our Nation dying
Is the power to call 1t hence.
Woman from her lowly station
Can undo our sorry tx;
From its wicked desperation
She can bring out politics.
No more revenue from SHINING.
Licensed sin q Nations shame!
Virtues known at our beginning
Seem to linger round her name.
Woman comes: raise up the scuttle,
Let her help 20 steer the boat
Give our deck a moral scrubbirg!
This we get in woman's vote.

NOTES ON VOTING.

THERE are those who doubt the expe-
diency of allowing females to vote, but
very few who question the justice of it.
Elihu B. Hayes.
As men often declare that women are
the ..salt of the EARTH" the quicker
some OF this preserving element is used
to purify politics the better. r.
Scott.
WHEN n man can walk up to the bal
lot-box with his wife or sister on his
arm. voting-places will be far more
agreeable than now and the polls will
not be such bear-gardens that refined
men will be constantly tempted to omit
their political duties.-Harrict Bescher
.Sto,ce
FOURTEEN ladies OF Scio, n. T., pub
lished a card in the Wellsville Reporter,
to the effect that having read an article
in that paper wherein the question is
raised whether or not the women of the
country wish to vote. I'VE, the under
signed, with a great deal of pleasure and
emphasis reply, most assuredly we do"
My belief in the right of women to

Ho,ce.
JUSTICE requires that women should
vote, in "a government Of the people,
by the people, and for the people," de-
irving its just powers from the .'con-
sent of the governed" One half of the
people can not justly deprive the other
half of suffrage. and at the same time
tax them. Taxation without represen-
tation is anti-American and unjust
Judge James Baker.
WHILE mothers give the hey-day OF
their lives to bring up sors for the
State, surely fathers should make it
their duty to see that our towns and cit
les are safe for them to live in, guarded
by wise laws from the present dangers
and temptations. Ii they have not the
power to do this. then place the ballot
in the hands Of women, the reserve force

men to enforce law and order.-ELizG-

We believe that in the Bible God has !
given form of government to the fam
lily, to the church, and to the State; |
and that in neither is it good for man |

women as well as men should share in
the government of each Those only |
who have neglected the study of the |

TROUBLESOME PEST.
Directions for Killing Hen-Lice in Coops
and Poultry Houses.


The common hen-louse is great pest,
and when chicken coops and poultry
houses get infested it is somewhat diff
ficult matter to thoroughly cleanse
them. The lice hide away in the cracks
of the wood work. and it is not easy to
reach them even with liquid. although,
by using large syringe, poisons may
be forced into their hiding places. If
the poultry house can be shut up tight,
fumigating with sulphur thrown upon
a pan of hot Goals is probably the best
means of dislodging the pests. Where
fumigation is not practical, then all the
wood work should be washed with car
bolic acid and water, and as much Of
the solution as possible forced into the
cracks and joints of the framework and
boards used in the structure. After US
ing the carbOlic acid and water, white
wash the inside of the house, and before
the wash is thoroughly dry dust all
parts with flower of sulphur and scat
ter it literally over the floor as well.
Some pOultrymen recommend using
kerosene oil, applying it to the roosts
and other parts; but theNsulphur will
answer fully as well, and it is not as
infiammable, and therefore less danger
Gus. If person. has occasion to visit the
poultry house with lamp at night
The coops in which young chicks are
kept should be as thoroughly cleansed
as the house, and in similar way To
prevent lice infesting sitting hens and
their broods as they come out, table
spoonful of sulphur should be thrown
into each nest when the eggs are first
given to the hen. The natural warmth |
of the body of the hen will be sufficient |
to cause the sulphur to give off its
fumes and destroy lice and other para
sites which may exist in or be brought |
to the nest from the chicken house.

Certainly one, and probably three
more victims have just been added TO the
long list OF those who have sacrificed
their lives i'm search OF the mythical long
lost Adams mine. Some weeks ago a
magnifcently equipped party Of fifteen
old prospectors under the leadership OF
one Patterson, left Socorro for the Navajo
Reservation, where Patterson claimed to
have found the fabled valley where gold
glistened from the rock and was more
plentiful than gravel in the gulch. He
knew where the celebrated Adams mine
was located exactly. The company was
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff from
Socorro, who, under prctense Of hunting
stolen horses, obtained from the Indian
Agent permit to visit all parts of the
reservation.
A search OF several days falling to show
them the coveted guleh, all the party re-
turned except old man Patterson and two
companions, who resolved to find the two
black butes said to guard the mouth OF
the canyon where the Adams party were
slain, only he and one companion escap-
Ing.
The day before yesterday some Indians
were heard by trader on the reservation
to describe the killing OF a white prospect
or in a canyon near by, and little ques-
tioning bv Post Trader Sweetland led him
to visit the scene of the killing. when he
found the corpse Of white man with his
skull fractured and bullet wound in bis
breast. He was recognized as one of the
prospecting party, and was buried at the
place where the remains were found. An
inquiry among the Indians as to the
whereabouts Of Patterson and his remain
ing companions, received for answer only
suggestive shrugs, and it is the belief Of
persons in the vicinity that they too have
been added TO the list Of those who have
been lured TO their death by this firmly
believed myth.

Freight Train Wrecked.

On Monday at about ten O'Clock a. M,
a west bound freight train was ditched at
a point about four miles west Of this place.
The accident was occasioned by the break
ing Of a wheel Of one of the cars which
resulted in the ditching Of fourteen loaded
freight cars. A number of them were
loaded with coal oil in tin cans and a
large portion Of the oil was wasted stand
ing in pools on the ground. The tank
cars were not injured. A wrecking train
in charge of Alex. Mcdonald was sent TO
the wrecked train and by hard work the
track was cleared 80 as to allow the pas
sage of the east bound passenger train
which arrived here at half past seven.
The same day the west bound passen'
ger was delayed by wreck at Belmont
and did not get here until eleven O'Clock
o. no. Another wreck occurred at Pine.
yeta Tuesday in which the engineer was
probably fatally injured.
