the girls body. A chum of Fuller's
had often noticed this bangle fastened
on his coat and on the morning after
the murder he noticed it was missing.

Let Everybody Register.

Evsry man who has the rudiment,
OF an education can register. If you
are able to read and write, and have
ordinary intelligence, you will have
no trouble about registering. If you
pay taxes on $780, worth of property,
you can register anyhow, whether
you can read and write or not. All
you have to do is to show this fact to
the registrar and tell him where you
wish to vote.
Take no stock in the agitators who
pretend there is so much trouble
about the matter The law is lust
and right. and its effect is good and
wholesome. Intelligent citizens, and
those who by thrift and industry have
acquired an interest in the public well
fare, are the ones that should direct
affairs, and that is all the law is in
tended to assure. Let ignorance, ir-
responsibility and shiftless worthless
ness take back seat. Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, and several of the
most intelligent and progressive
States in the Union have exactly the
same law, and 1T works well, and is
satisfactory to the large majority of
the people.
In these days of schools, and in this |
land OF industry and liberty, men are
expected to show their appreciation |
d liberty by exhibiting either intelli-
yence or industry sufficient to acquire

Hon. Geo. A. Kelly, the Popu;ist
candidate for Senator, was in Colfax
last Saturday for a few hours. We
understand that Hon. J. p. Patton
will also be in the race, and that he
has a strong Populist support. He
feels that an injustice has been done
him in the late dickering with the
Sugar Teats, and will ask for vindica-
ton at the hands of bis friends.
