A Kitchen Necessity.

The very latest and to our mind
the handiest article for the kitchen
is Standard Cabinet. The cabi-
net is composed Of five bins, which
can be used for flour, meal, rice,
oatmeal, buekwheat, raisins, dried
fruits, or anything desired to be
kept free from insects, dust or
dampness. A system of air tight
tea and spice drawers; also an, air
tight coffee bin with coffee mill
attached; an air tight bread and
cake bin, and a receptacle for
knives, forks, spoons extracts, to
the side Of which is attached q
pair of spring scales. In fact it is
the best and most conveniently ar
ranged contrivance we have ever
met with. It would take column

Voting Qualifications.

Mrs. M. F. Whitman recently
wrote to Associate Justice Sam'l T
Corn, of the Wyoming supreme
court, to know what foreign born
women would have to do to acquire
the right Of suffrage, in relation to
her husband being already natu-
rallied. From the following letter
it would seem that woman whose
husband or father was naturalized
before she was Of tho age Of 21,
after coming to the United States,
would be.naturalized also, but if she
were not SO naturalized she would
have to take out her regular papers
as is the case now with foreign
born males. In other words, a
woman is not naturalized through
the naturalization of her husband
or father unless she was under tho
age of q years at the time the
citizenship was granted to the
former.
Here is the letter:
Evanston, Wyo., JAN, so 1897.
Mrs. NJ. f. Whitman,
Montpelier, Idaho.
DEAR MADAM
In reply to your ques.
ton; our Wyoming constitution
and laws place a woman with re-
ference to voting and holding office
upon precisely the same footing as
man. She must be citizen of
the United States and have the
other necessary qualifications of a
voter as to age, residence and etc.
And a woman of foreign birth may
become q citizen of the United
States either by taxing sout natu-
ralization papers herself, or by
virtue of the naturalization of her
husband or father, as in other
cases under the statutes of the
United States. In other words,
she becomes citizen Of the United
States for the purposes of suffrage
IN Wyoming, in the same way
that she would for any other pur,
pose.
This, | think. answers your
questions fully. IF not, it will
give me pleasure to give you any
further explanation or information
in my power.
Yours very truly,
S. T. Corn.

The Quorum Court

The quorum court met
Monday with 30 members
present, and remained in
session three days. Judge
MurPhey recommended in
his report that one mill be
levied for contingent expens-
es, one half mill to put into
effect the Prince Road law
and 3 ID ills to de-
fray the general expenses of
the county, After consider
able discussion the prop
osltlon to levy one half mill
tor the purpose of iu1prov-
ing our roads was defeated
by a vote Of IA to 10. The
failure TO adopt this recon-
mediation is greatly regret
ed by a large number of our
best citizens. This stem
would be a means of systa.
matlzlng our road system
and would give us some
tools, plows and scrapers,
with which to work. With.
out these Sharp county can
never have better roads than
we now have, We can
"cuss' the road overseers
tor their failing to make
better roads but that does
pot correct the evil. We
gould as reasonably expect
of a lot Of men to go out on
the battle field and gain a
victory without the equip.
ments Of war as to expect
pur present road oyerseers
to build good roads with
axes and cotton hoes. II is
really hoped that Sharp
county aud Arkansas will
not many more years be
held up as a reproach to her
citizenship on account of her
iisgracefEl roads.
