WOMANiS RIGHTS.

Inc WOlnan rights speaker, al
though not receiving the solicited
invitation from the ladies to come to
Weiser and address the people, has
written that she will come anyway.
We do not know who the lady is or
where she is from, but if she comes
it will be our duty to treat her respect
fully and courteously and give her an
audience TO hear what she has to say.
OF course we know beforehand what
it will be- the same old stock argu-
ment. She will depict the grievances
Of woman and point out way to ac
complish her complete emancipation
She will refer to the fact that as the
years pass on women have gradually
entered every business and profession
formerly monopolized by men, thus
showing herself possessed of the
qualities, but still denied the sacred
privileges without which she must
remain in condition of serfdom.
She will say that women possess
equal PHYSICAL qualifications with
men to entitle them to vote That n
woman would be anxious to work
out her road tax and think she was
making money easy That history
shows that many women have per-
formed valiant military service
shoulder to shoulder with men, and
all that, and all that, which has so
often been whooped forth from the
stump. She will probably not re-
fer to the fact that but little (f any
of all this is denied, and that there
are but few fair minded men who
will not admit that, from the view of
the female half of a nation being
compelled to abide under laws enact
ed by the male half ADMINISTRATION
without representation, they have Il
right to be represented by ballot if
they wish for it, but that the question
does not hinge upon this point OF
equity, not at all, the truth being
that the women themselves, the
mothers, wives and daughters of the
land, are not asking for it, prefer
ring indeed, to guide the home and
leave politics and law making to hus-
bands and brothers, believing IN
their honor to draw proper safeguards
around that home. She will MOI
dwell on the fact that the whole agi
tation comes from miscellaneous
aggregation Of females who, having
Il laundering themselves for the mys
tcries Of the ballot, rush madly abou

The list of the total casualties in
the Japanese armies during the war
has been officially published 623
were killed in battle, 172 died of
wounds aud 1881 wounded, but not
fatally, and 5470 died of cholera and
other diseases. So far as the battle
record shows, the loss of life by the
sinking of the steamers Elbe and
Colima was nearly as great as that of
the Japs in the whole late war with
China, and that the Japanese soldier
in active service better risk for life
insurance than voyagers on first-class
steamers.

Milwaukee Physicians Alarmed.

MILWAUKEE, NOV. II Physicians Of
this city are becoming alarmed over the
great prevalence Of sore throat and bron-
shial troubles. It has reached almost an
epidemic form and is steadily spreading
In some respects it is like the grip. ex-
cepting that it is confined to throat and
bronchial affections Those who are
strong will throw off the d ease, but peo-
pie with weak lungs will suffer serious
consequences later in the season. Fully
one third of the adult population, accord
ing to one physician, is now down with
throat troubles and in public places the

Probably Drowned.

The distressing information has
been brought to the city of the prob
able drowning of Mr.. Samuel Garner,
whose home is few miles below
Cassville on the Mississippi river
It appears that Mr.. Garner was in
the village of Buena Vista on the Iowa
side of the river last Thursday even
ing and that about ten or eleven
O'Clock he started home in skiff. He
was somewhat under the influence of
liquor and his friends tried to dis
suade him from crossing but he would
not listen to them. He has not been
seen since.
The skin containing keg Of beer
and with the oars in place was found
about five miles below Mr.. Gamers at
what is known as Finley's landing but
was not fastened. The river is deep
at this point and it is believed that
he landed the oat here and in at
tempting to get out lost his balance
and fell into the water and was
drowned
There was raft boat coming up
the river when Mr.. Garner left Buena
Vista and there is possibility that
he got on the boat and went up the
river.
Some years ago a story very much
like the present one was circulated
about Mr. Garner while he was safe in
Dubuque having abandoned his skiff
and boarded raft without letting
his friends know ANYTHING about it.
This occurrence awakens the hope
that he may have done the same
thing this time

On Tuesday night thieves broke in
TO the Grand Central Hotel in this
city and took four fine overeoats.
They effected an entrance through
an office window by prying it up
In the office there were doz-
en- or more coats but the
burglars selected only four of the best
ones. The coats belonged to Messrs.
Ryan. Gleason, Biddick. and Editor
Roethe, guests of the house.
Sheriff Dyer's officers were at once
on the trail of the thieves and Deputy
Decker captured them on the Mt
Hope road about nine miles from
Lane ter. They had the coats with
them.
They were brought before Justice
Wheeler but waived examination and
were bound over to appear at the
next regular session of the Circuit
court. They admit the theft and will
probably plead guilty and begin serv-
Ing a term at Wadpun at once.
Judging from their actions and the
little concern at being caught the
young men evidently took this means
OF getting a job. They are strangers
iii the county and claim their names
to be Evans and Fisher. They came
up from Potosi Tuesday and were
walking through the county.

A Library social

There is nothing new under the
sun. some une has said. Whether
this he true or not. it is certainly a
hard problem to contend with when
one tries TO get up a church social
entertainment with original features.
but this seems TO be what the Young
Ladies Guild of Emmanuel church
have done. 1t will certainly be an
amusing aud enjoyable occasion and
is called Library Social
What is 1t?
Well. the library will contain about
sixty ire volumns; that is. each vol
ume will be some charming Lancas-
ter lady, costumed to correspond with
the title of the book she represents.
OF course patrons of the library are
expected not to break fans. step on
trains or otherwise harm the books.
and to refresh them with ices at in
teryals during the evening.
There is no doubt that the books
will be interesting and up to date.
That no one will find them dull or
get sleepy while reading them, is a
foregone conclusion.
The first part of the entertainment
will consist of vocal and instrumental
music and other features. after
which dancing will be in order.
It will take place Thursday. Nov
ember 21stin Burr's hall aud from the
way tickets are being sold promises ia
