CITIZENSHIP.

To be an American citizen involv-
es more than the enjoyment and ex-
ereise of the privileges and rights of
citizenship. 1t also implies duties
and responsibilities. The rights
we enjoy are not accidents. They
are blood-bought commodities. BY
cry man has a duty to vote. And a
duty to vote right. Every freebooter
who traffics in his Vote, or who
does not vote at all because of in
difference, or indeeision, should at
once be DISTINGUISHED. The right
to vote is a sacred right aud every
voter is responsible to his God and
his fellowman for the careful eXer-
else of the right. Fellow voters. do
you take your ballot seriously? Do
you realize that the future Of The
Greater Falls City is hanging in the
balance, and that your vote will be
the deciding vote? Has it ever oe.
CURED TO you that conditions are as
they are in Falls City not primaril,

day will decide again, either to con
tinue them or TO change them and i

wit in the matter of elections would

still full of rumors that supplies will
be light from April to June. The mar

The discovery of a fragment Of a
cuneiform tablet believed to be of
the period 2100 B. C., bearing an ac-
count of the deluge described in the
Bible and agreeing with the narrative
I'M Genesis. was reported in Phila.
delphia ON March rs, by Prof. II. V.
Hilprecht at a gathering of friends OF
the University of Pennsylvania at the
home of Provost Harrison. This frag.
ment. which has just been decipher-
ed. was one of those excayated from
the lowest strata of the oldest part
of the ruins of the Temple library of
Nippur and was brought to this city
by the expedition sent out by the
University of Pennsylvania in 1899.
1t is of unbaked clay and measures
two and thr~ee-fourths inches at its
greatest width and two and three
eighth inches at its greatest length.
As translated by Prof. Hilprecht the
narrative contained on the tablets is
as follows: II declare unto) thee
that the confines of heaven | will
loosen. a deluge | will make and il
shall sweep away all men together;
but thou (the Babylonian Noah) seek
life before the deluge cometh forth;
