The question of female suffrage has agitated
the tongues and pens of reformers for many
years, and good arguments have been adduced
for and against it. Many of the softer sex
could vote intelligently, and many would vote

the merits of political issue. They would all
vote for DR.. Perce's FavOrite Prescription, for

wondering sometimes if there isn't some mis-

thousands of Old-time physicians close their
eyes and put their hands to their ears and re-
fuse to abandon the theory. But for all that

for this dreaded disease, if taken in time. All

Johanna Mahoney was charged with

her house The evidence showed that
Dora and her sister had been left at Mrs

her normal condition she had kicked
Dora Spraight down stairs. 1t was fur
thcr developed that Mrs. Mahoney's resi-
dence was not one where young girls
could remain and retain their reputation
for being like Cesar's wife. Mis- Ma
