person." which of course would include
women and confer on them the right to
vote. A great many we have no doubt
will vote yes in front of that amend
ment who will not realize what that
little word "person" means. They
should understand that the word "per-
son" IN this case means women suffrage,
and nothing else. Mrs. Crannell. if she
comes, will tell us, and tell us true, of
the many happy homes which this
doctrine Of women suffrage has broken
up, and Of the many thousands ofhappy
homes it will continue to disrupt, should
it become the law Of the land.
Miss Morrow must be aware. and she
must also know, that we are familiar
with the fact, that some of the oldest
and strongest advocates Of woman suf-
frage, have withdrawn from the cause,
saying they would no longer be party
to the mischief it has wrought Never
theless we say, as we have always said,
when the majority Of the women Of
America make it known that they de-

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its seyerest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing of us bottle of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for consump-
ton, and was so much relieved on TAX
ing first dose, that she slept all night
and with two bottles has been absolutely
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." J."

Women Suffrage.

We are in receipt of letter from Miss
Lena Morrow, who entertained our
people At the court house some three
weeks ago on the subject of women
suffrage. We regret that our limited
space will not allow Of it's publication at
this time. She rings the changes on the
way women have been treated in the
days which have long since gone by,
and seeks to apply them in her argu.
ment as they expressed the conditions
of the present higher and happier civil
ization. She acknowledges, however,
that women have more privileges now
than Of yore, but insists that privileges
are not rights. We confess that we do
not see the distinction when those privi-
leges are extended to her under the law.
She objects to some remarks we made
in our notice of the lecture, wherein we
said that the majority of the women Of
America do not at present desire the
suffrage, and until the time arrives
when they do SO desire, "our lady
orators will talk to dull and listless
ears" She says that sentence is not
warranted in the face OF the fine au-
diences she has at all times had in her
tour of the Black Hills.
In reply to this We will say that the
remark was not applied to her person
ally, as we acknowledge that she is a
bright and talented lady, and has the
ability to present her case in the most
eloquent and forcible manner. Being
thus gifted, there is not much danger Of
her talking to dull anG lIstless ears"
But the lady must remember that there
are others, and that there are two sides
to the question. We are in receipt of
another letter from lady who signs
her name as Mrs. Crannell. who won a
national reputation on the anti-suffrage
side in 1896 before the national conven-
tions Of st. Louis and Chicago,
who, If invited, is anxious to
come and present her side of the ques-
ton in opposition to the amendment of
article 8 of the constitution of South
Dakota. In this amendment it is pro-
posed to eliminate the word male" and

The following is an extract from an

jubilee by Archbishop Ireland: THE
war is ended. 1t would i'll become me

longs by right of official position and Of
personal wisdom to prescribe those de-
tails. The country has learned from
the acts Of his administi alton that to
his patriotism, his courage, his pru-
dence, she may we'll confide her safety,
her honor, her destiny, her peace.

treaty is the name Of William Nc

Gamble and Phillips.

Gamble and Phillips.
An enthusiastic republican meeting
was held at the court house in this city
last Monday night, which was addi ess-
ed by Kirk q. Phillips, candidate for
governor, and Robert j. Gamble, candi-
date for congressman. Although the
evening was unpropitious on account of
light snow that had fallen during the
day, the court room was crowded. Mr..
l. NJ Donaldson, state committeeman,
presided over the meeting Mr., Phillips
was the first speaker, and confined him
self largely to state issues, going over
state affairs. and especially the railroad
question, showing the position Of the
republican party in that regard, and the
pledge in the platform looking to the
enforcement Of that legislation in case
Of republican success at the coming el &C.
ton. He discussed the state finances
and the conduct Of the treasurers Office
during his term. Mr.. Phillips took up
the char made against him by popu.
listic speakers and newspapers in re-
gard to receiving interest on state
money. These charges the speaker
denied, and stated that he had neither
received or taken any interest on the
funds of the state during his incum
benc, of the Office of treasurer. He
paid his respects to U. S q. Cherry and
others of Sioux Falls who sought by
fictitious deposition to prove that he
had received interest on state funds he
had on deposit in the Dakota National
bank Of that city, which charges he also
denied. Mr.. Phillips stated that at the
time of the suspension Of that bank he
had on deposit in the name Of the state
about $23, 5000, and in order to reimburse
the state he mortgaged all his personal
and real property, and from present in
dications he expects to suffer loss Of
from $4,000 to $4,000. II is speech was
dignified and strong and was well re
ceived. Mr.. CANDLES speech was
largely devoted to the discussion Of
national issues, He spoke at some
length upon the subject Of protection
and the prosperity that had been re-
stored in consequence of the election of
Mr.. Mckinley. The speaker referred
briefly to the silver question, but re-
garded that issue as practically closed as
the result of the election of 1896. He
paid his respects to .Senator Pettigrew
upon some charges made by the latter.
and by affidavits proved the senator's
connection in a contract for attorneys
fees with certain Indian affairs. Mr..
Gamble is fine orator, and his speech
is conceded to have been one of the
best ever made in Custer. Both gentl e.
men made many friends among the
voters during their short stay in this
city.

The postoffice department has adopted
new regulation with respect to the is
suance of money orders, says the Hot
Springs Star. Heretofore it has not
been permitted to an Office to issue an
order payable by itself. In many cases
patrons Of the Hot Springs Office have
applied for orders payable to some other
patron of the Office but it could not be
issued. This rule was changed on Oct
ober / and now any money order Office
may draw an order on itself. This
change will be appreciated by many
people who do not carry bank accounts
and who thus are unable to make settle
ments by check. The beauty about a
payment by money order is that the
evidence of payment is always to be
had
