Woman Suffrage in Wyoming,

Gov. Richards, of Wyoming
was in San Francisco lately and
was interviewed by the "Call' as
to the effect of woman suffrage in
his state. We quote:
Governor Richards said he did
not want to be drawn into the
woman suffrage question, but his
experience in a state where women
vote is interesting. Wyoming has
had woman suffrage for more than
a quarter of century and the
movement is not a fad any longer
The wOman's vote is not more than
20 per cent of the whole, and a
few refuse to vote, but the majority
vote with about the same regularity
as the men.
Mrs. Molloy, wife of division
superintendent upon the Union
Pacific, is one of the three Repub-
ican candidates for presidential
electors, but it is not the rule for
women to run for office in Wv

Pyeng Yang, q city in Corea, was
founded three thousand and sixteen
years ago. 1t is known as the well-less
city. Within its walls is not single
well, and all the water Of the city Is
carried up by watermen from the river
which washes its southern wall. Ira.
dition shows that this has always been
SO, for it is said that when Chinese
general besicged it two thousand years
ago, believing that he could compel its
inhabitants to capitulate by cutting of
their water supply, he was led to give
up the attempt because the soldiers on
the walls took fish scales and went
through the motions of the baths, and
the scales, Glittcring in the sun, looked

Why should any farmer vote 70,
the gold standard? Wherein could
ne DC benefited by it? The gold
standard speakers and newspapers
openly admit and boast that the
advantage of the gold standard lies
IN low prices for farm products.
Senator Sherman says he wants
the gold dollar because it will buy
the most farm products. The Bos-
ton Herald says it supports the
gold standard because it wants to
see flour sell at So per barrel in
Boston. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts says he is against free
coinage because free coinage would
mark up the price of all commodi-
ties. The farmer who votes for
the gold standard votes to rob his
own children of the comforts of
life and the advantages of educa-
ton.

curing to check the progress and
everything proved to be in perfect
order. There was no particular
demonstration or celebration of
the event, though about all the

the gates proved to be adequate for
the work they are intended to per-
form, and caused the ponderous
gates to swing around like toys.

Why Not Talk Sense?

The talk about blooming silver
mining corporations" is the most
superficial rot that has come to the
surface of the free coinage discus
sion. If those who favor the re.
monitization of silver are in league
with the silver miners then those
who are for the "existing gold
standard" must, by parity OF
reasoning, be in partnership with
the gold miners. The owners of
stock in gold mines are lust as
much recipients of government
favor as the owners of stock in sill
yer mines would be if free coinage
of silver were restored. The sim
pie truth is that in voting on the
paramount issue of coinage this
year the American people do not
care a tinker's imprecation whether
the gold miner or the silver miner
is helped or hurt by their decision
of the question.

A MANS LAUGH,
An incident Which Goes to Prove That II
Nryer CEnnvas

If the Bcrtillon system of identified.
ton had PHI geographic record of the
laughs of criminals it would probably
be as near perfect as an Identification
system can be. The fact that man
comes into the world wailing has been
regarded as sort of prophecy of the
truth that as rule the sorrows of life
outnumber the joys when all the re.
turns are in, but an optinist might see
an opposite significance in the fact that
mans laugh remains the same through
all the Changing years. When the cares
OF manhood succeed to the happy-po-
lucky days of boyhood, says the Chi.
cago Tribune, this laugh of his NAV be
called into use, as it were, very little
but when it is put into operation it is
the same old laugh and every boyhood
friend would know it instantly.
An old soldier who fought through
the war with Fred IIartwick, who
drives mail collectors wagon on the
North side, happened to be in Chicago
for n week not long since. He heard
that Mr.. Hartwick was on Postmaster
Hesing's staff and went to the federal
building to find him. He took his sta
ton at point past which all the car.
rlers filed to report for duty and as
Hartwick came along some one pointed
him out.
without disclosing his own identity
the veteran approached and began ask.

incidents in the history of that regi.
ment during the war. Of course he

ton, organizing a kind of campfire
meeting between themselves. One
member OF the regiment was in bust
ness in New Orleans, another was in n
bank down in the state, several were
farming, one was the local manager for
one OF tie big commercial agencies in
one OF the large cities, and 50 on.
Several times HartwiclS asked his old
eompanion-at-arms his name, but the
latter only smiled and went on with the
conversation. Finally. when it became
necessary for them to separate, as
Ilartwiclk was obliged to go out on his
run, tho man laughed as he said.

Cut Into a Vein of Two Feet.

SPokvne review, Sept. 6.
No definite particulars have been
received concerning the strike on
the Gold Bug mine in the Florence
district. Mr.. Glidden said last
night that the miners had cut a
vein two feet in width. From
what he could learn it is gold-bear-
ing, free-milling ore of good quail
ity. Twelve men are at work on
the Gold Bug and Banner claims.
Superintendent Culbertson has gone
to Florence to look over the
ground. If it will justify, small
stamp mill will be erected on the
properties. Mr.. Glidden is inter-
ested in II claims, either bonded
or bought, in the Gold Bug BAN
ner group. Twelve men are en-
ployed. Considerable money has
been spent since June on these
properties.
