One Woman Was Virtually a Member
of Lincoln's Cabinet Over 50,000
Women In American Colleges Today
Iter Mental and Spiritual Quali
ties Equal In Every Way to Man's.
The following excerpt Is from nn
excellent sermon by Rev. Herbert S.
Blgelovv, pastor of the Vine Street
Congregational church, of Cincinnati,
on the subject of woman's equality
with man, mental and otherwise:
One of the differences between Pa
gan and Mediaeval civilisations and
modern times Is In the difference In
the conception of womanhood, says
Rev. Blgelow. Socrates thanked God
that he was not a woman. Pericles
thought that a woman's chief glory
was to be known neither for good or
for evil. Erasmus very magnani
mously prayed that the Bible might
be given to all men. even to Turks
and women. John Wesley. In con
cluding a letter to Bishop Wightman,
said: "I am, dear Billy, your affec
tionate friend and brother, J. Wesley.
Beware of women."
Compare such utterances as these
with Wordsworth's tribune to his sis
ter. Compare them with Renan's
tribune to his sister. Compare them
with the opinion which Robert
Browning had of the superiority even,
of his wife's creative ability. The
Idea of woman's mental Inferiority Is
being rapidly dissipated. Today
there are over 60,000 women In the
colleges of the land. It Is the women
today more than the men who fill our
lecture rooms and take a genuine In
terest In the serious thought of the
day. 1
Men have usually been free to con
cede that women In general possess
stronger feelings and more refine
ment of soul. I believe they must add
to that concession equality of mind.
I would be ashamed to admit that
woman had a purer soul than man.
I would also be ashamed. In the light
of the facts, to claim that man had
more brain capacity than woman.
Tes, you say. grant the spiritual
and Intellectual equality of woman,
but politically and physically, at least,
she Is Inferior. Is, then, the baboon
greater than the man? Is the largest
rope always the' strongest? Does It
take greater strength, a more endur
ing strength to slay and slaughter
than to bind up he wounds of the
fallen and watch over the sick bed
through the silent watches of the
night?
A Woman Statesman.
Everyone knows the name of Lin
coln, but how many the name of
Anna Ella Carrol). Tou are aware
that It was the brlllant campaign up
the Tennessee river which turned the
fortunes of the war and brought the
first harbinger of defeat Into the
southern camp. While the senators
were wrangling among themselves as
to what general deserved the credit
of the campaign, there sat In the gal
leries a young woman by the name of
Anna Ella Carroll.
There Is, it seems to me, abundant
evidence to prove that the campaign
which revived the fortunes of the
north and saved the Union cause was
born In the brain of that Maryland
girl. It Is not generally known, but
this woman was practically a member
of th Lincoln cabinet. Her opinion
was sought on military matters. She
was sent by the war department to
St. Louis to study some way of getting
control of the Mississippi. She re
ported that It was Impracticable to
attempt to control that river then, but
recommended that an expedition be
sent up the Tennessee river, which
should command the Memphis-
Charleston railroad the sole connect
tion between the eastern and western
wln?s of the confederates.
Meanwhile the generals were hesi
tating and the gloom was settling
deeper and deeper over . the north.
Miss Carroll's plans were adopted.
With what success the world knows.
But the source of the plans was care
fully concealed because Mr. Lincoln
thought It would discredit the admin
istration If It were generally known
that a woman was the real genius
commanding the situation.
Congress refused even to pension
her. And now that she Is dead, she
lies In an unknown grave, while the
names of Lincoln and Grant havu
achieved their Immortality.
In the new day. we shall learn to
give honor where honor is due. When
men are not ashamed to be gintle,
and women have found freedom
then Justice and respect will take the
place of sham and chivalry.
PLAN -TO DRAIN TROUT LAKE".
Abutting; Laud Owners Would Reclaim
1000 Acres.
The Goldendale Sentinel makes
public a reclamation project that
does not Involve the general govern
ment:
The abutting landowners on Trout
lake are considering a plan to drain
the lake. This being done, about 1
000 acres can be put into cultivation.
The state will be asked to contribute
its share of the expense as a consider
able amount school land Is Included
In the drainage project. The part
mostly under consideration Is the
marsb land or what Is better known
to the settlers as tne meadow land.
This wild meadow Is not profitable.

Often the water does not drain off
enough to enable any hay to be se
cured. Then again, It is of very poor
quality, hardly fit for stock cattle,
and Is said to give horses blind stag
gers. The marsh land Is undoubtedly
extremely fertile, the sediment hav
ing formed for years, and Instead of
this grass four to five loads to the
acre of clover or timothy hay could
be raised. Then, again, the school
land which lies In the bog Is at pres
ent worthless but If drained would be
worth perhaps 175 or more an acre.
DID ANKENY DO IT?
Washington Senator Accused of De
feating Falnuse Irrigation Project.
That the private Interests of Sena
tor Ankeny are responsible for the
abandonment of the Palouse govern
ment irrigation project is Intimated
by people of eastern Washington.
The Walla Walla Bulletin in speaking
of this matter says:
The announcement that the govern
ment has determined to permanently
abandon the Palouse Irrigation pro
ject comes In the nature of a great
surprise as well as a deplorable dis
appointment to the people of this sec
tion of country. It was felt that with
Senator Ankeney as chairman of the
committee on Irrigation and his pre
sumed personal Interest In the suc
cess of the project, that there would
be no question as to its ultimate suc
cess. The report that the examining en
gineers have decided that the expense
of putting through the Palouse pro
ject is prohibitive is accepted with
some reluctance, and It Is Intimated
that private interests In which Sena
tor Ankeny Is believed to be Interested
may have had something to do with
the government's action in turning
down the scheme.
This view was first made public
through a Seattle paper and when it
was called to account by the people
of Pasco It produced correspondence
with heads of departments at Wash
ington, D. C, to bear out Its conten
tion. USE VITRIFIED BRICK.

Eastern Cities Recommend Practical
Street Pavijig.
Henry H. Schott returned yester
day afternoon from a trip back east
to his old home near St. Paul, says
the Yakima Republic. He also visited
eight or 10 towns In Wisconsin where
he succeeded In closing several con
tracts for delivery of this year's crop
of hops.
While away on this trip Mr. Sehott
was particular to take observations
on paving In the various cities and to
talk with the city engineers of a
number of the cities the size of North
Yakima, In order to ascertuln an Idea
of what might be good for this city.
"I found that most of the cities
back east are using vitrified brick al
most exclusively," said Mr. Schott,
"and they say it gives the best of sat
isfaction, Is not as expensive as as
phalt, and much more durable.. At
Chlppe,wa Falls, Wis., their streets
were paved with vitrified brick 10
years ago, and since that time they
have not been compelled to expend
a dollar upon the streets In repairs,
except to clean them off. People
back there are enthusiastic about this
kind of paving, and I am of the opin
ion that It is the thing for our city to
have."
More Signed Up Tlinn Needed.
The Tleton Water Users' association
has met with better success In ob
taining subscriptions for Its stock
than any of the members anticipated.
Today a total of 25,340 acres had been
signed and 7000 more acres, belong
ing to the Northern Pacific Railway
company and the state, will be added
to the list, making a total of over 30,-
000 acres.
This Is more than twice as much as
was required by the government In
its agreement to build the Tleton ir
rigation ditch, which will cover all the
land thus signed. The state and rail
way land will not be signed with the
Individual holdings at present An
agreement with the railway company
has already been made and the state

kRAG-JORGEXSFNS DISCARDED,
New Springfield Rifles to Be Issued
to U. S. Army.
Immediate Issue to the cavalry, In
fantry and engineers In the United
States army of the new Springfield
rifle, 1903 model, with the rod, bayo
net and 1903 sight, has been author
ized by the secretary of war, so that
these pieces may be used for target
practice this season.
They will be replaced with the
latest model, with the Improved sight
and bayonet at a later date. On ac
count of the early date fixed for the
beginning of target practice, ship
ments will be made as soon as prac
ticable to the department of the Co
lumbia, from which point the new
rifles will be distributed to the various
posts on the Pacific coast and in
Alaska.
The order Issued by the war de
partment practically means that all
Krag-Jorgensen rifles will be discard
ed and the new rifles used in their
place.
The reason given for the abolition
of the Krag-Jorgensen rifle, by local
army officers including Major Wood,
head of the quartermaster depart
ment in this city, says a Seattle dis
patch. Is that the new Springfield has
a greater muzzle velocity and Is capa
ble of throwing a bullet on a straight
trajectory, which Is not the case with
the Krag-Jorgensen weapon. The
shipments are expected to arrive with
in a week or more.
Doctors Are Puzzled.
The remarkable recovery of Ken
neth Mclver, of Vanceboro, Me., is the
subject of much Interest to the medi
cal fraternity and a wide circle of
friends. Ho says of his case: "Owing
to severe inflammation of the throat
and congestion of the lungs, three
doctors gave me up to die. when, as
a last resort, I was Induced to try Dr.
King's New Discovery and I am happy
to say. It saved my life." Cures the

Wlint Became of Tabor?
A. F. Tabor, who was reported by
the police Friday as missing with sev
eral hundred dollars of his wife's
money, has been heard from. Tabor
Is In Seattle. His wife received a let
ter from him Saturday afternoon In
which he stated that he got on a
drunk and was ashamed to go home.
" lam In Seattle a ta Keeley Insti
tute taking the gold cure, and when
I am cured I will return home to
you," Is what Tabor has written his
wife. "I was ashamed of my pitiable
condition, and could not bear to face
you as I was."
Mrs. Tabor at first was very much
alarmed for the safety of her hus
band. She had fears that he might
have committed suicide or have been
murdered. Another theory was that
he had run away Intentionally and
would not return to her. Now, that
Mrs. Tabor has heard directly from
her husband, she feels greatly reliev

One would think the Laxative Idea
in a cough syrup should have been
advanced long before It was. It seems
the only rational remedy for Coughs
and Colds would be to move the bow

of the throat and lungs at the same
time. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and

FOREST RESERVES
CARTER, OP MONTANA,
INTRODUCES NEW BILL.
Agricultural Lands In Reserves Muy
Bo Entered by Actual Sctlers -Com-.
mutation Principle Does Not Apply
Under Tills PriNCl Law Agita
tion Is Now Before Congress.
Agitation to provide for the entry
of agricultural lands within forest re
serves continues in congress, though
there are several measures providing
for said entries now pending In con
gress. Senator Carter of Montana has add
ed another to the already long string,
and Incldontally claimed for it merit
which none of the other bills boasted.
In 'short, Senator Carter would have
no red tape In the opening to settle
ment of agricultural lands within the
forest reservations, with no stringent
provisions.
The only condition Imposed by the
Carter bill Is that the land be taken
by actual settlers In the homestead
reservations only, and not exceeding
160 in area and not exceeding 1
miles In length. Another provision In
this bill denies the commutation pro
visions to the homestead la wto entry
men under his act. The bill Is in part
as follows:
"That the secretary having super
vision of forest reselves may, upon
application, or on his own motion, as
certain, list and describe, by legal
sub-division where surveyed, and by
metes and bounds where unsurveyed,
sjch lands within forest reserves as
appear to his satisfaction to be chiefly
valuable for agriculture; and the land
so listed shall upon the filing of such
list or lists In the land office of the
land district In which they arc situ
ated be open to settlement and entry
by actual settlers - under the home
stead laws only, In tracts not exceed
ing one and a half miles In length.
Provided:
"That any duly qualified homestead
settler actually occupying and In good
faith claiming land for homestead
purposes at the date of the approval
of this act within any permanent or
temporary reservation and the per
son. If qualified to make a homestead
entry, upon whose application the
land proposed to be entered was ex
amined and listed, shall each, In the
order named, have a preference right
of entry for 80 days after the list em

applicant Is filed In the local land of

ARE YOU TIRED OF PAYING
"BLUNDER TAXES"
op
D
Many a business man pays as much money for the luxury cf blunder
ing as a steam yocrt, or a private touring car would cost.
"Blunder Taxes" cannot be evaded whatever else waits, these must be
paid. If a business man gets Into the habit of making the same blunders
more than once, the taxes will soon amount to confiscation
"Bl nder Taxes" are levied with amazing frequency upon store adver
tisers. Among the blunders which are assessed at "full value" In adver
tising are these:
Selection of poor mediums.
Using too little space In good mediums.
Demoting less attention to preparing t .e dally store advertisement than
to the storing of some empty boxes In the basement.
Stopping the ad altogether for one or more days now and then.
Figuring the advertising appropriation on the basis of what you can
"afford" after all other expenses are provided for.
The use of "programs," schemes, circulars, posters, fence-signs, pla
cards and Jim-cracks, under the impression that you re securing real pub
licity, and that somewhere, somehov, sometime someone will be Influenced
by some of these things to come to your store and buy something.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" Three years ago life looked dark to me.
I had ulceration and inflammation of the

and the doctor told me that if I was not op

I told him I would have no operation but
would try Lydia E. Plnkham'i Vegetable

" Your medicine Is certainly fine. I have
Induced several friends and neighbors to take
