half an acre of strawberries at Pat
rick Coyle's farm in Boone county.
He speaks of noticeing some patches
of voluntary grass wheat that bid
fair to make a first-rate crop,the stand
being good. This would indicate
that fall sowing might be profitable.

For the first time, on Monday

Now, while we are no alarmist.
and believe 'with many reputable
physicians) that scarlet fever, in its
virulent form, is as dangerous as the
small-pox, we know that the public,
whose health may be endangered,
should understand how matters are.
The cases (five in number) are all
confined to the Sisters' Hospital two
of them now convalescent. The
City Council appointed councilmen
Smith and Gluck a sanitary com
mittee Saturday night last, and Dr.
C. D. Evans has been assigned as the
city physician. The cases are un
der thorough quarantine, and in as
good a place as possible, and there
need be no panic concerning the
spread of the disease. The plain
troth in all such matters will stop
the mouths of rumor, and it will al
ways be found to be the judicious
course. Our people are, like Patrick
Heury, ready to know the worst, that
they may provide for it.

An east bound emigrant train one

places, while others had laid out to
spend the vacation in a European
tour.
Our dealers say there is an unus
ual demand for barbed wire for fenc
ing, this season. When stock can
have their freedom to graze at will,
niirht and day, they will thrive much
better, as a matter of course, and their
condition is enough better to justify
any owner to provide sufficient pas
ture for what stock he has not for
setting the hogs, which are entirely
too much neglected, and which have
too little variety of food. Corn and
water, often skimped in both, and a
pen devoid of a green spear and often
without shade, is their desolate lot
through life and it ought not so to
be. Occasionally, through such treat
ment, a farmer will lose hundreds of
dollars worth of hoga by so-called
cholera, enough in value to provide a
good green pasture, along with the
rest of the stock. Try it.
The Fremont Tribune saya that
the experiment of telephoning with
Omaha from that place by attaching
the instruments to "Western Union
telegraph wires was recently tried
with complete success, and many of
their citizens had a visit with friends
in Omaha. Of the project for long
range telephoning the same paper
says : "It is expected that the new
telephone connection between Oma
ha, Lincoln. Blair, Plattsmouth, Fre
mont, Columbus and other towns will
be made in a short time. A separate
wire will be run direct from Fremont
to Omaha, making the distance in
about 36 miles. The cost is estimated
at about flaOQ and will be met by
selling scrip which will be received
in exchange for use of the line. The
rates will probably be fixed at twenty
five cents for five minutes talk. 'Hello'
Plattsmouth and the rest of you !"

WeHBaa Safrace.
Ed. Jocrxal : As this question is
to be settled by our people at the next
election, all are interested in having
it settled permanently. In order that
all may judge intelligently, I suggest
that every alliance, literary society,
perhaps better, every school district
take up the question and discuss it in
their own school house. Let them
divide by preference, or appoint sides
and see what arguments can "be bro't
up on either side. Take two or three
evenings, holding one meeting a
week ; it will prove entertaining and
undoubtedly profitable. The suffrage
society here have tract3 that would
help on some points usually talked
upon. Some time ago there appeared
in the Gazette a challenge to diacu3s
certain propositions as follows :
"1st. A woman's power is moral
power, not physical.
2d. Moral power is a higher order
of power than physical and more
truly dominant.
3d. The ballot represents physical
power alone and not moral.
4th. For a women to descend from
the sphere of moral power to that of
physical power is to degrade herself."
If we answer yes or no the first,
second and fourth propositions, it
would decide nothing, and I think the
statement that the baliot represents
physical power alone, stands with
out other authority than that of the
writer. "Webster defines the ballot as
to vote, vote, as "the wish, choice or
opinion expressed in some received
and authorized way." He also says
the physical force i. e. " power of a
nation is in its army and navy." I
like "Webster's definition of the ballot,
even though many of our people are
inclined sometimes to rebel against
the decision of the ballot and ignore
law, thus showing that like the bad
boy in school they are not morally or
intellectually fitted to appreciate a
government based on the consent- of
the governed whose laws are ordina
rily enforced by the moral power of
the will of the governed, expressed
by the ballot
But to settle the point in full- accord
with "Webster, let us look at the ques
tion under discussion and to be settled
by the ballot at the next election.
"Will not each voter express his opin
ion or choice when he deposits his
vote for or against striking the word
male from our constitution? And
will not that vote represent his moral
and intellectual conclusion on the
question? Then when the result is
announced in the "received and au
thorized way," will not this law be
enforced by the consent of the gov
erned, without calling in the army
and navy ?
I think the ballot represents our
convictions of right, of justice, of
liberty, our choice of men to embody
our conyicrions in law, and to exe
cute the law, that the moral power
of the duly expressed will of the gov
erned is sufficient to secure their en
forcement in ordinary cases, and that
the aim of Christian statesmen to so
clearly define the rights and duties of
nations or individuals that all shall
submit to the moral power of right,
is not a failure, but that the ballot has
proved a very fair security in the
hands of the voter for his life, liberty
and happiness, and as woman's life,
liberty and happiness are as much to
her as man's is to him, she is as fully
entitled to security and to hold her
own security as man is.
That as woman is physically weak
er than man. so much more should
she be secured and have the security
under her own control ; and as wo
man is governed, taxed, etc., the same
as man, it is only common justice that
her consent be asked, the same as his.
As woman's ideas of right are as
strong in her as man's she should
have the same right of individual ex
pression by the ballot. In fact, that
woman, having the same nature as
man, living under the same circum
stances of life the safe, sure and just
way is to give her the same responsi
bility of expressing her convictions
and giving her consent by our chosen
means, the ballot.

Editor Journal: A tew lines iu
reference to this part of Colorado may
be of interest to your numerous
readers.
Durango is situated in the south
western part of the state, a distance
of four hundred and fifty miles from
Denver, in what is known as the San
Juan country, in La Plata county.
When the Denver JE Iiio Grande E'y
was Incited across the mountains into
the San Juan country it became nec
essary to .-elect a temporary terminus
at a point which would best accom
modate the various mining districts
of these extensive regions. This loca
tion was found on the Animas river,
in the Animas valley, three miles be
low the old town of Animaa City. In
September, 1SS0, the town plat was
surveyed, and now, in this once bar
ren valley, lies the famous town of
Durango, already the metropolis of
the southwestern Colorado, with a
population of about 4,000. Durango
has good schools, churches and law
and order prevails. She also has an
excellent fire department which con
sists of a Silsby steamer, hcok and
ladder company and two ho-e compa
nies. There are two daily papers,
the Herald and Sepublican. They
are erecting some fine brick business
blocks and a number have been com
pleted. The most of the business
houses are built of rough lumber
without being ceiled or plastered.
"Whenever there is a shooting gping
on in any of these buildings it is best
to lay down fiat on the fioor, as the
walls afford no protection against the
kind of guns they use in this country.
I had a little experience of it myself
last Thursday morning. They got to
shooting in the next building to that
which I was in ; the first shot fired,
the occupants all fell fiat on the fioor
and I followed suit. After the fusi
lade was over we all got up to hear
the result of the shooting, and the
report was that a man had been killed
which turned out to be a fact. The
men had a triple misunderstanding
about a girl. The shooting man shot
his victim five times without warning
him or speaking to him. That night
there would have been a '-neck-tie
party" had the prisoner not been well
guarded by the sheriff and a posse of
men armed with rifies.
The mines of the San Juan, the
'Silver San Juan,"' as i has been ap
propriately called, are fissure veins
easily found and readily traced, but
like all fissure vein, requiring capi
tal, machinery and time tor their de
velopment. Gray copper and black
sulphurates are found In all the prin
cipal lodes and frequently rich streaks
of ruby silver, tellurium, sylvauite,
calvarita ana chloride of silver. Most
of these are smelting ores.
Daily lines of stages are run be
tween Durango and Silverton, Cas
cade, Eico, Fort Lewis and Parrott
City, and a semi-weekly to Farming
ton, New Mexico.
I saw Mr. Chas. Angell, who was
the first passenger conductor on the
A. & N. E'y from Columbus to Lin
coln. He has now a like position on
the D. & E. G. E'y. His family are
living at Antonita. He is look
ing hale and hearty; the climate
of Colorado seems to agree with him.
I also became acquainted with a gen
tleman by the name of Newton More
land who used to live in Columbus.
His father was at one time the Indian
trader at Genoa. He also said that
his father surveyed the town plat of
Columbus. He seemed to be very
well acquainted with all the old set
tlers and made enquiries about many
of them. He was the city marshal at
one time but Ielt it tor a position as
conductor on the D. & E. G. E'y.
