The Women Pay Taxes In Ariel Too!

Editor THE CITIZEN:
| read your article "Woman's Suf-
frage" in THE CITIZEN, and am
glad of the privilege to express my
opinion on the same. While do not
think that Woman is superior to
man." l do think that she should
stand by his side as his equal. The
Lord did not take her from the head
of man that she might be above man;
neither did he take her from the feet
of man, that she should be trodden
under foot by man; but he did take
her from the side of man, which
plainly indicates her position in life.
In Ariel, if a man does not pay his
taxes he cannot vote. If his taxes
are paid, he can vote. l know six
teen women in Lake township, there
may be more, that l do not know,
all pay their taxes when due. Of
course none can vote. Now l think
that we ought either to be exempt
from taxation or allowed to vote.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and proJcribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney &, Co., Toledo, Ohio,
Is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and nue.
Gus surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

THE OLD RAG CARPET.

Oh, we'll l remember the home of my
girlhood,
The sitting room opened on Sundays
alone,
The big roomy sofa upholstered in
horsehair,
The little old organ SO wheezy of
tone,
The green paper shades that were
hung at the windows
The round braided rug that was laid
at the door,
The album, the vases, the white cot
ton tides,
And the breadths of rag carpet that
covered the floor
The gayly-striped carpet, the old
fashioned carpet,
The cherished rag carpet that cover
ed the floor.
1t was woven not only of linen and
wooden,
But with fragments of sorrow and
joy and romance;
The lavender silk that was worn to a
wedding,
The figured delaine of a maiden's
first dance,
A baby's pink frock and the weeds
of a widow,
The blue of a coat that a soldier
boy wore;
l knew and l loved every strip that
was in it,
The dear old rag carpet that covered
the floor
The good honest carpet, the plain
humble carpet,
The homemade rag carpet that COW
cred the floor.

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.
New Adams Bill Provides Normal
Instruction i'm Public
Schools. ~

AS stated by the West Union
Argo, "a substantial step towards
helping the public school system
was taken in the passage by the Iowa
legislature of the Adams bill, in
troduced by the member from Fay
ette-Allamakee district providing
for normal instruction in the pub
lie schools, state aid being given
to such schools as comply with the
laws provisions" Waukon is to
do this.
There has been much complaint
that the high schools have gone too
far in the direction of preparing the
few for college rather than the
many for other lines of work
There has also been great complaint
of the shortage of public school
teachers and the lack of teacher
training. To meet these needs
the Adams bill provides that high
schools may devote the work OF the
eleventh and twelfth grades largely
to a review of the common branches,
also to pedagogy, with the elements
of psychology, agriculture, and
economics. Pupils who elect 10
take this teachers training course
instead of the course that prepares
them for college will be given with
their diplomas two years certlh-
Gates as teachers. The district
which provides an extra teacher
and gives the teacher-training in
struction will be allowed $500 a
year from the state treasury, the dis
trict being expected to get a good
teacher in those lines by adding TO
the state donation a smaller amount
from it's own treasury.
The Hammill bill, also passed by
the last legislature, provides that
country parents will not have to pay
both taxes at home and tuition IN
town if they wish to send their child
rem to town chools. but that the
home district must pay the tuition.

WATCH LOST NINE YEARS.
Oelwein Man Finds Property at
Dubuque.

A watch that was stolen from the
residence of G.. w. Blackburn of
Oelwein, Ia, nine years ago, was
recovered by the owner while in Du-
buque recently. Mr.. Blackburn was
in Dubuque on business and while
having his shoes shined another pat
ron asked the bootblack the time.
The watch which was drawn from
the pocket of the bootblack attracted
the attention of the Oelwein resi-
dent and closer observance satisfied
him it was his timepiece.
Blackburn telephoned to his home
and secured the number of the watch
and the matter was placed in the
hands of the police. The timepiece
proved to be the one sought. The
bootblack declared he purchased it
from well known local character
in Dubuque.

UNKNOWN BOY KILLED.
Sad Catastrophe at Waverly Ends
Life of Fifteen Year
Old Boy.

Monday forenoon an unknown
boy, about 10 years of age, was
found in the Great Western yards
near the west end of the Cedar
river bridge. When the engine
passed the scale house the engine
crew noticed boy standing there,
and when the caboose passed the
place, Hugh Brock, who happened
to be the brakeman on the train,
and who was standing on the rear
platform, saw form lying on the
track. The train was stopped and
the boy was picked up and taken to
Mercy Hospital, where he lived until
about midnight Tuesday, never re-
gaining conciousness.
There were no marks or means OF
Identification about his person, and
up to the time of going to press II
is unknown who he is. In his pock-
cts were found a piece of shingle,
upon which were written several
names and addresses, and a photo
graph of a young girl, which re-
sembled the boy and is supposed to
be his sister.
The supposition is that the boy
attempted to catch on to the train
as it passed and missed his hold and
was thrown against the side OF the
car or onto the ties. with such force
as to crush his skull. How he lived
as long as he did is a mystery 10
both doctors and nurses at the
hospital.
The body was taken to Vile 4
Maaser's undertaking rooms and
will be kept there for day or TWO
The authorities in charge are doing
everything in their power to hnd
the parents or relatives of the boy
before they take steps to bury the
body. If the body is not claimed
soon there will probably be coron-
er's inquest held today or tomorrow

Monticello, student in the Tilford
Collegiate Academy. The graduate
scholarship has been awarded to
Floyd E. Thomas of Ottumwa, now

PRESENT CAPACITY

At Berlin work is progressing
steadily in the mines. The Berlin
mine seems to have a new lease of
life, and it is believed by those
who should be in a position to
know, that there remains many rich
bodies of ore in this famous mine.
The intention is now to sink a
winze on one of the lower levels
for a distance of IS or 100 feet
and then drift due west.
The Berlin mine has already pro-
duced in the neighborhood of 81
100000, but since the 1907 panic
nothing much has been done with
this property. With the develop
ment now being mapped out il
looks as if $7,0OO,0O0 more might
be produced from this property.
Work is going on on the old
tailings dumps of the Berlin mill
The tailings are worked by the
cyanide process, hut with the pres
ent equipment this work is yer!
burdensome and slow. However, {
good margin of profits has resulted
even with small plant.
Preparations are now going ol
whereby the capacity of the treat
