During the ingiorious retreat ofGeneral

about a dozen choice spirits, among whom
were Maj Isaac W. Burton and Charles ID.

resolved to take the opposite end Of the
road and get up little active service on
their own hook. They proceeded westward
keeping a sharp lookout for the several
divisions of Mexican troops, that were
then advancing eastward, and succeeded
IN getting into the rear OF the invaders.
Here they hoped to pick up some Of Santa

According to Mr.. WiIkic, who
writes to the Chicago Times from
the "fur west over the nom de
plumc "Polto," woman suffrage is
not the remedy tor human ills, that
Theodore Tilton, Mrs. Stanton and
other sophisticated old ladies would
have us believe. Put to the test,
woman suffrage docs not reform the
drunkard, reclaim the palot, or, in
other respects, purify or elevate So
cioty. Mr.. Wikie has been soiourn-
ing in that paradise for female suf-
fragists, Wyoming. He is n news
paper writer ofrcpute, who observes
closely and thinks profoundly. His
views upon the experience of Wyo.
inning with woman's suffrage are,
therefore, worthy attention.
In recent letter to the Times ne
says:
Speaking of publication leads me
to remark that Laramie is in Wyo-
ming, and that in Wyoming, wo-
men vote. They are not here the
down-trodden vassals that they are
in the east, according to Mrs. Fer
nando Jenes and Mrs. Livermore
On the contrary, every woman in
this territory walks erect, as should
an cqaal of man. She goes to the
ballot box; she sits on intelligent
iuries, while her husband stays at
home and does something tempo
rary. in the case of the last infant,
with a teapot or u rubber-tipped
bottle
How often has Anna Dickinson
told us that if woman had the bal lot
she would shut up the saloon and
gambling house and vote all human
kind directly into the millennium.
Well, the dear creatures vote in
Laramie, and every third building
on the main streets is a whisky sa
loon They vote in Cheyenne, and
any building there not a whisky
saloon is doing very unusual busi-
ness
To this let us add the "impera-
tive cry of our Mormon sisters" for
the ballot, and the further fact that
there are not four Mormon women
in Utah who, now that they have /.
the ballot, will cast vote against |
that twin relict," polygamy, and
we have the practical effect of wo-
man suffrage in these territories.
From the above it would appear
that in Wyoming and Utah, at least,
woman's suffrage has not accom-
plishcd what its advocates claim
for it. Nor will it do to answer
that in the localities named, it has
been tested under Disadvantages.
The same writer settles this by dis
cribing the people in Utah and Wy
oming as apparently no worse than
those farther east. He represents
them as industrious, intelligent and
thrifty, bot fails to discover that
the ballot in the hands of women
has extripated vice and immortality
from society or purified and eleva-
ted the body politic.-QHincy Her

A FAMILY GATHERING.-Thero

dren, relatives and frinds of Father
Allen, as he is called, in Lawrancc
county, in this state on Friday the
18th inst, the occasion being the
eighty first anniversary of his birth.
day. Six hundred persons were
present at the barbecue near the
old gentleman's house, and of this
number 81 were his own immediate
descendants. The patriot was born
in North Carolina Sept 10, 1890; ho
was raised in Tennessee, migrated to
Missouri in 1917, removed back to
Tennessee in 1921, returned to Mis-
souri, in 1910, and has lived here ev-
er since. He has living s children,
53 grandchildren, and 80 great
grandchildren, making, with himself
and wife, and the husbands and
wives of his married children, a fam

occasion:

TIE ORIGIN or GAS LIGHTING.-
The distinguished Scotch philoso-
phcr, DR.. Chalmers, at Il time when
all the streets and lanes Of great
cities were lighted with oil burnt
in lamps, held that the time was
not distant when a carburretted hy-
drogen gas would be substituted
instead and on getting his house
repaired, ho actually introduced
into the walls a system Of tubes and
pipes for the passage into the va
rious rooms of the gaseous fluid yet
to be employed as the illuminous
agent. But among all the vague
specuations and ingenious devices,
there were two individual minds
who were giving shape and form
to them-Murdock in England, and
lie Bon in France. The combin-
ations of circumstances, however,
favored the former, and | think no
impartial investigator of the sub
iect will fail to render to William
Murdock, Of Redruth, Cornwall, the
sole merit of the practical app!ica-
ton of coal gas to the purpose Of
artificial illumination, about 1900.
And it is a noteworthy fact that
the discovery was first exhibited
publicly as a rejoicing over the
hush of war and the renewal Of
peace, on the occasion of the grand
in England, commem-
orative of the peace of Amiens,
1902. Prof j. L. Smith.

RAILROAD MEETIYG.-Thcrc was
an interesting railroad meeting at
Ney's Hall on Tuesday night. 1t
was largely attended, and there was
an enthusiasm manifested that we
have seldom witnessed in Jefferson.
The object Of tho meeting was to
consider the proposition made by
the Railroad Committee of Jefferson
designed to meet the expectations
of the International Railroad Com.
pany, and to insure the bulding of
the road to this place. That prop
ostion, substantially, is to donate
to the Company, Marion county
bonds, running thirty years, to the
amount of 100000, and individual
donotions, in addition, to the amount
of 100000. Speeches wer made by
Col. w. l.. Crawford, Judge McAdoo,
and Judge II. p. Mabry in favor Of
the proposition. These speeches
met with u cordial response, and
the proposition was endorsed by
the meeting. The private subscrip-
tions were started by Col. Crawford,
who gave for himself and others,
in city property at present prices,
$25 900. This was followed rapidly
by further donations, until the sum
reached scventy-fvc or IL hundred
thousand dollars. We take it for
granted the desired sum will be
made up, and the road lccured.-
