The Register has always opposed the
proposition of female suffrage for Ida
no, and had opposed it for the reason
thst we did nat believe it would bring
about beneficial results. But we are
now ready to state that our ideas have
undergone material change. We re
alize that we have been in the wrong;
we are now in favor of female suffrage.
The purity and elevation of the ballot
box has been accomplished. The cleo
ton in Idaho Falls last week fully de-
monstrated the fact tnat many women
had never before known what they
could accomplish.
They have demonstrated that the
ballot box in their hands can be made
to express the honest will of the peo-
pie as they think it should be ex-
pressed.-Idaho Falls Register.

On its philosophical side, the develop
ment of the mining industry presents
many interesting and suggestive les
sons. Sudden wealth coming to men
who have been accustomed to poverty,
always produces phenomena which are
well worth observing, and as with those
who acquire sudden wealth by other
pursuits, so those who strike bonanza
in the ground are affected in various
ways. Some become free handed and
generous, and yet retain sufficient bal
ance to make of themselves good and
prudent business men. Others permit
their generosity to degenerate into
prodigality, and soon dissipate their
sudden wealth and return to the level
of poverty, from which they came, with
the addition of having acquired tastes
them to satisfy. A few horde their
wealth and become miserable, Grabbed
misers, receiving no benefit themselves
from the vast means at their disposal,
and doing no good with it to others.
Where such persons are seen one read
lily percelves that their real and nat
ural condition of poverty was quite as
good for them in all respects as the
squalor of their wealth. But, on the
whole, there is no class of men so gen
erous, so free-handed and at the same
time so well able to care for themselves
and those about them, as the men who
have developed the great mineral

PAYING FOR A DEAD HORSE.
The Old Fight Over the Location o.
the Postoflce.

1t is not exactly like paying for a
dead horse but feeling aroused by the
efforts Of the German Insurance com.
pany to collect rent for the use Of
their room by the government is very
much the same. About four years
ago the merchants on Cedar and
Broadway signed paper agreeing to
pay certain sum each year to the
insurance company as rent for the
postofiice room in order to prevent a
removal OF the office to the east end Of
town. By this method our poor gov
eminent got its rent free. The COM
pany collected of the subscribers for
the first year and nothing more was
heard Of it until Thursday when an
agent appeared on the scene and de-
manded pay for three years. 1t is
needless to say that there was some
high kicking. Some are paying and
some are not. 1t is purely free will
offering TO the insurance company
for such contracts are absolutely void
in Kansas.

BUTTER AND CHEESE.
Senator Hanna's Bill to Secure Pure
Products,

The senate in committee of the
whole Thursday has recommended for
passage Hanna's bill to prevent decep.
ton in the manufacture and sale Of
butter, cheese and milk which will
very probably become law.
The bill provides that milk that
contains not more than S7.5 per cent
of watery fluids, uot less than 1875
per cent of milk solids, and not less
than 8 per cent of butter fat shall be
deemed Of standard quality; that no
person shall offer to sell any milk
from which the cream has been re-
moved that volators of the act shall
be deemed guilty Of misdemeanors
and for first offenses shall each be
fined from $40 to $25, while for SUBJ
sequent offenses they shall be fined
between $25 and 500, or be impris-
oned between 80 and go days, or suf-
fer both penalties, and that no person
shall offer for sale any article for
human food in the nature of butter or
cheese that shall not have been made
of pure milk or cream, unless such
article be represented to be what it is.
The punishment for violation in the
last case is TO be a fine between $50
and 5000 and Imprisonment for not
less than 80 days for the first offense,
and for the second oiIense a fine be-
tween $3.50 and $1,000 and imprison-
ment between one and six months, or
both.

jovial, kind-hearted Jim Speer, who,
by the way, always likes to look his
best. Yesterday as he was making
his usual visit at the city mills, he
discovered bottle Of newly purchas.
ed highly scented paste. He was
told by Mr.. Stoddard that it was
pomade and made liberal application
OF it to his mustache and beard. He
thought he was just fixed and went
on his way rejoicing. In few hours
he was seen making his way back to
the mill armed with a shot gun and a
big club. Up to the present time
Park has been non est, and is not ex.
pected back for at least a week. Jim
is busy soaking his head and breath

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and uDless the in
hamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

only received data crediting Dickin-

statements and figures were given
which proved that we were entitled to
$l77O. 1t is probable that only a

will be appropriated and Dickinson

WILL INTEREST CREDITORS.
A Blacksmith Invents q New Way Of
Collecting Old Debts.

Debt collecting is not an easy
process in any state and the past few
years of short crops and Democratic
prices has made it doubly so in Kan
sas This fact has long weighed on
the mind OF Mr.. Fred Westhoff, black
smith, Of Watbena, who is obliged to
give credit to the farmers for whom
he works. After long thought he de-
cided to try new method Of debt
collecting, according to a local paper.
To all his debtors he sent out the
following instructions:
Gas have to meet payment Of a
note l find 1t necessary TO call upon
all those who are indebted to me to
help me out as much as you can.
Therefore have decided to select one
day, and kindly request your pres
ence at my shop at Wathena and pay
the amount herein stated, and all
those complying with this request
will receive a special treat. Lunch
and refreshments will be served from
P. m. to s p. m. in my basement
that day, and very good time as
sured to all present. Please present
this card when you call and show the
amount Of your account, which is
dollars and - cents. Hoping
all will respond and you will have
good, social afternoon.
The treat offered was great in
ducement to the thrifty Kansas farm
ers. 1t was all the more attractive
because beer was provided and
Wathena is prohibition town.
Hardly one of those who came had
the cheek to refuse to pay his bill,
and the entertainment was a great
success. The scheme will be employ
ed regularly by Mr.. Westhotf.
