conditions as very bad all over the

REGULARITY IN
CITIZENSHIP LAW
(From Fridays Daily.)

1t is not generally known that
woman when she marries legally
takes upon herself the citizenship Of
her husband, and that she loses her
citizenship if she marries an unnatu-
rallied husband. For instance, If a
woman who is a qualified voter mar
ries a man not naturalized she loses
her right to vote. and if a woman
who is not naturalized marrics man
who is. she becomes eligible to vote
automatically, so to speak, and is.
able to vote without taking out ma
turalization papers.
This popularity OF the naturaliza-
ton laws was called to mind yester
day when Clerk Farley received
letter from Fred X Jones, Unitei
States naturalization examiner, OF
San Francisco, notifying him Of some
new rules OF the naturalization de
partmcnt OF the government. The
clerk was instructed to note on appli-
cations for naturalization, when the
applicant is woman. whether she
IS miss or widow, by prcfixing
to the name the word Miss" if the
former. and afixing the word wild
ow" if the latter. The letter says:
When marital relation has not been
dissolved by death or divorce the
wife is not eligible to take out ma
turalization papers,

POISON AND GUN
USED TO END
HIS LIFE
(From Wednesdays D7ily)

NFTOm W tQltSOIE lS44lA-J
Herman Voge destroyed himself
sometime during the afternoon Of
yesterday. probably before ) o'clock,
at a point on the s. +. p. & p rail-
road near the Simmons ranch, dis
tant about one mile from this city.
The means he adopted were pre-
sumably. in first taking an ounce or
more OF laudanum, and then placing
a thirty-two calibre revolver against
his right temple fired the shot that
ended life instantly. The body was
found bv man named James Wal
lace who was walking on the track
toward Kirkland valley to go to work
in a mine. Wallace stated the body
was lying within ten feet OF the
grade. and when he made an eXami-
nation life was extinct.
Judge McLane was summoned to
the place. and took charge OF the re-
mains. This official on reaching the
scene picked up the gun, that had
been loaded to its capacity OF six
shots, and an empty bottle was
found lying near by, with the cork in
it. The odor from the bottle was
fresh. and that it contained lauda-
mum is the supposition. The full con-
tents had been swallowed. There
was one exploded cartridge in the
chamber OF the gun. and the dual
agencies chosen by the unfortunate
man. clearly proved his determination
to end his life.
So far as known nothing was found
on the body to give any reason tor
the rash act, and the personal effects
were not disturbed when the body
was brought to the city at about 6:5O
o'clock last night. The manner OF
death OF this well known citizen was
shocking to his many friends. While
it had been known to them Tor some
time Voge was in a respondent mood
his financial troubles were closely
guarded and aside from lightly eX-
pressing himself over failures to Sc
cure what was anticipated in mining
and other ventures, his detection ii
was believed would seen pass away
Not for a moment was it thought
that he would end life as a suicide.
1t is stated that two sealed letters
later were found on the body, both
addressed to his wife, with the writ
ten request that they be delivered
to her, without being opened.
Voge had been a resident OF this
city for nearly twenty years and until
a few years ago was engaged in the
wholesale liquor business. He was a
heavy investor in mines, and became
interested in different districts. He
was aged about 81 years and native
OF Germany. He is survived by d
wife, son and two daughters. He
was naturalized as citizen OF this
country in 1889 at San Francisco. He
was a useful citizen, and much sym
pathy is expressed over the sad man.

PROSPECTS POOR
FOR LOWER PRICES


(From Wednesdays Daily)
\ prominent general merchandise
dealer in Prescott said yesterday,
speaking OF the prospects for lower
prices on the necessities OF lie, that
nc did not look Tor any relief so long
as the European war lasted In fact
he predicted further increase Oh
many OF the staples, if the war con
tinucd much longer.
The conversation occurred when
the matter OF the recent increase in
the price OF flour was mentioned. Tie
said. however. that while prices might
advance further on some OF the ne
ccssities. there was prospect at the
present time that there would be re-
auctions on others, with the probable
itv that there would be no change
in many articles. This man has had
much experience in buying and SELL
ing for years and there are few men
VINO watch market conditions closer
than he does. A comprehensive idea
OF his conclusions may be found in
the following summary:
Going up-Reed furniture, mirrors.
carpets. tapestries, linoleums, cotton.
oil. grain, flour, dry wines. zinc, Gig
arettes. mems clothing. women's
wearing apparel, Irish potatoes, on
ions. many grades OF beans, eggs,
butter. meats and raisins.
Going down or slightly affected
Poultry, apples, honey. sugar, dried
and canned fruits, canned vegetables,
oranges, lemons. olive oil, lima beans,
hay, sweet potatoes. sweet wines.
He said that the war had little eff
feet on mems and women's wearing
apparel. but that il gave the manu-
lecturers an excuse to place new
styles and fashions on the market at
increased prices. He thought that
mems suits next summer might show
dome reductions. but stated these
would be slight. Shoes, he said. arc
likely to be much higher, and in all
reed furniture he looks for a very
material advance. There will be an
influx OF oranges and lemons from
other countries, and a contracting
market is quite likely to send these
articles down very materially. The
reason why he believes there will be
an advance in cotton and cotton-madc
goods is because these products have
gone down recently.
Summing up the matter OF high
prices he stated: "One thing the
American people can depend on, SO
long as there is demand for IN
/ creased cost in the handling OF mer-
chandise the people will have to pay
| higher prices. Articles today are put
up in the most expensive forms. Buy
ers are becoming more and more par
ticular along this line. Every edible
on the market, owing to the sanitary
laws OF the country, must be wrapped
and cared for in the very best and
most expensive form. and ii all costs
money and adds to the price. So
/ far as the merchants are concerned
there is no more profit in the general
merchandise business than there al
ways has been. There is a general
tendency to increase the number OF
middle men, which, added TO the loss
es on account of the prevailing credit
system. make the business more ex-
acting along all lines. and the mer
chant who does not watch the cor
ncrs closely nowadays cannot make
both ends meet"
