The Rights of Women as Voters.

Attorney General Clapp of Minnesota has
given his opinion to Superintendent Kiehle
relative to the rights Of women as voters on
school matters. He says: "a woman is en-
titled to vote upon school matters when she is
of the necessary age (twenty-one years.; has
resided in the United Ststas one year, in the
district four months, and is either citizen of
the United States or has declared her intention
to become q citizen" 1t appears, therefore,
that a foreign born woman, Possessing the other
qualifications, is entitled TO vote upon school
matters If before she becomes Of age her father
had been duly naturalized or il she is married
to a citizen Of the United States.

Madam On the 29th last May our boy

but when two months old the = King of

vigorous constitution, the poison in the
blood soon began to manifest itself in what
the medical men termed eczema" pur-
pura," hereditary taint," while some
old mothers concluded the yellow thrash"
had gone through the child. Yet, what
ever the disease might have been, it was
certainly stubborn master for the doc
tors. The mother took the little sufferer
to the country, hoping that the pure fresh
air might be beneficial. Dr.. -, of
LumbertOn, was called to treat the case
he pronounced it eczema, and did all he
| could for it, but to no purpose any more
than to check the fever to which the disease
subjected him. At first frost the victim
was again removed to the city. DR.. -
was called; he pronounced the disease pur-
pura, and prescribed accordingly, feeding
| UP the disease on iron and other minerals

could not nurse at all. A friend suggested

weeks ago to-day, the little fellow was a
