Women's Suffrage in Nebraska.
women wish the right of the bal
lot, bul tin plan is so ridiculous.
Intrusting in their hands for a
few minutes wo would say so
precious or so deadly an instru
ment, much like you would give
a ehild something to bold for a
few minutes and say, "Now be
careful, don't break it." The
right of the ballot will not compel
women to vole, bul those that
wish to certainly should have the
privilege. It is said that they
neglect the home. It will not take
a woman any longer to vote than
a man. Voting and entering
politics are very different. Neith
er a man or a woman should enler
any kind of business that will
lake them away or cause them to
neglect their home, especially if
they have children. It is very true
that in a great many cases the
women have all the care and re
sponsibility of the children, but
the man has shifted a responsi
bility that he had no business to.
A man's presence and influence is
just as essential as the woman's
in a home where there are chil
dren. Whenever you find that a
boy's ideal is other than his father
there is something radically
wrong with the father; either he
is not at home long enough to get
acquainted or there isn't enough
in him to bring out the child's ad
miration. No genuine, true wom
an will neglect her home to any
great extent for any cause, much
less politics, and she asks for
the ballot that she may help settle
the question that so seriously af
fects her home. And then, who is
it that says we cannot vote? In
the great Declaration of Inde
pendence is written, "All men are
created equal." Men means man
kind, when used . in the above
term, and don't you think it is
just a little beneath the -dignity of
our fathers, husbands and broth
ers to want, to hold back that
right, Taxation without repre
sentation was once considered a
just cause for war, so can you
blame us if we feel some indigna
tion when we hear a man say he
is against, women voting?

Charge is Embezzlement and He Is
Now in Jail Awaiting Friends
to Come to His Relief.
For some time there has been
rumors in the city that there were
to be some exposures in the con
duct of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine company's business in this"
city, and it culminated yesterday
afternoon when, on the arrival of
Ihe stale manager of the com
pany from Omaha, William Jonas
Brown, the gentleman who acled
as agent here, was placed under
arrest, charged with a shortage of
.:i')0 in his dealings with Ihe
company.
There are, of course, Iwo sides
lo Ihe story, the company claim
ing I hat Brown collected money
that was never turned in 'and
selling machines for Ihe full
price and then failing lo remit,
while on Ihe oilier hand, Brown
believes he has been made Ihe
"goat" by Ihe state management
in Omaha in order lo furnish an
example lo the oilier agents
throughout Ihe slale, and that
while he may be short a small
ain'ounl, it is nothing like Ihe sum
(presented by Ihe company.
Mr. Brown has resided here
alul a vear and a half, and dur
ing that lime has always conduct
ed himself in a law-abiding man
ner toward his fellow-man, and
his actions at limes have caused
his friends lo worry as to his
menial condition, as he did many
things thai would not have been
done by a person possessing
strong menial faculties, par
ticularly in the line of trading
horses, in which he always got
Ihe worst of it, and it is to this
weakness that much of his
trouble can be traced.
The family of . the unt'ortunah
man will receive Ihe deepest syni-
pathv of everyone in their mis
fortune, as they will be forced lo
bear the greater burden, and foi
their sake it is lo be hoped th
matter can be settled without
reaching Ihe courts. It is under
stood that Brown is making an
t-lVort to secure the sunnort of
relatives to assist him in his mis
fortune, and it is lo be hoped thai
his efforts may meet with surees.
ELEVATOR AT LOUISVILLE DE
STROYED BY FIREWEDNESOAY
Yesterday the town of Louis
ville was visited by a very de
structive lire, which destroyed tin
grain elevator owned by Keckler
& Shaffer, grain buyers of I hat
cilv. The loss will total about
$0,000. a little more than half of
which is covered by insurance.
How Ihe flro started is unknown.
The elevator was a mass of flames
when the alarm was sounded.
This lire was the first since the
installation of the new water
works system, and il is due lo Hie
efficiency of Ihe water service that
the llames were prevented from
spreading to Ihe adjoining build
ings and tho people of Louisville
can be truly thankful that they
were wise enough to have the
water-works system put in, as
otherwise the loss would have
been very heavy, as there would
have, been no checking the flames.

and discussion as Clyde Fitch's

exceedingly strong one. II is

been the source of much pleasure
to the members and Iheir friends.

city, The list includes such well
known plays as "The Modern
Eve," "Kindling," with Sarah
Padden in the title role; "That
Printer of Udell's," "The Divorce

culvert and road over the dry
slough on the wesl of the rifle
range that will give Ihe soldiers
a means of getting lo and from

templated by the government ut

expenditure of a large sum of
money. The removal of the
