THE STRIKE.

The strike on the Missouri Pacific
system of railroads is yet holding on,
and there appears no immediate prob
ability of it ending. The knights of
Labor, through their executive officers,
have requested an interview with the
railroad officials, but have been refused
a hearing.
Gov. Martin, Of Kansas. and Marina
duke, of Missouri, who were successful
a year ago in getting an agreement be-
tween the strikers and the railroads.
met in Kansas City this week and heard
the grievances of the strikers. They
then went to st. Louis and submitted
to Mr.. lloxie, manager of the Gould
roads, a proposition in effect that the
agreement of last March be enforced
and the strikers all taken back to work
without prejudice. MFR. Hoxie declared
that the road had not broken the agree
ment, and that he would not re-employ
any persons who had damaged their
property and that he would not dis
charge competent men employed since
the strike commenced, to make places
for the old hands.
The strikers would not agree to accept
his proviso.
Last Monday morning the switchmen
employed on every railroad leading into
Kansas City had caught the infection
and quit work. Their grievances was
stated to be a desire TO have the same
wages as given switchmen at Chicago.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday no
freight left Kansas City, except over
the Wabash road, which is i'm the hands
of the United States courts.
Wednesday afternoon, however. the
railroad officials met representatives OF
the switchmen and agreed to accede tc
their demands, and the men accordingly
went to work.
The blockade in Kansas is now raised
but there is no telling what may occu.
next. If the Missouri Pacific strikers
can enlist the sympathy of the employees
OF other roads, there is liable to be a
general strike in the west at almost any
hour.
The Missouri Pacific men are becom.
ing desperate and do no. hesitate to en-.
gage in unlawful measures to accom-
plish their ends. At Sedalia, on Tues
day, a train was dcrailed and several
persons seriously injured. Engineer:
are killed, cars disabled and much prop,
erty is being injured,

THE HIGHJOINTS

The action of select few, constitut-
ing themselves public censors, in Ineet-
ing last Saturday night and debating
the ticket all law-abiding citizens are
expected to vote Tor, was clearly in the
nature Of a star-chamber proceeding
and contrary to that important demo-
cratic doctrine which declares that the
people should rule-not a half-doZen
one-idea men. No one who was pres
ent at the high joint assemblage in
Denton Il Jones' Office will claim that
a majority of the business men of the
city were there, or even had an oppor-
tunity of being there. Whether the
counsels of the aforesaid business men
were not needed; whether they we've
considered of too little importance to be
Invited, or whether they were regarded
as enemies of the great prohibition
movement, has not been explained yet.
Certain, it is, though, that very small
portion of the population of this city
was allowed any voice in nominating
the city ticket they are now asked to
vote for.
Those men may be everything their
friends claim for them, and we have
nothing personally against any one of
the nominees; but we believe that their
nominations should have been made by
q mass meeting rather than a private
tea party of half a dozen.

InsurinR Women,s Lives.

Of the many life insurance companies
of the city, says the New York Mail and
Express, only one is managed by women
in the interests of women. The attor-
ney for the company, when asked by a
reporter for some particulars regarding
it's work, said:
"All the officers are ladies of wealth,
and they accept no salary. What they
claim is that, if a woman desires to in
sure, she should have the same I'M
restricted freedom as man has in such
matters. The company was started in
1888, and is now on paying basis. 1t
has hundred agents, and its large
agency in Philadelphia is managed by
woman. Some of the statistics that
we gather will surprise the public, /
| think. For instance, | have just re-
ceived the report of the English regis
trar general for last year. 1t shows
that out of every 1000 living persons
49, are males and 5I3 females; that of
births, to every 100 females born there
are 103 5-100 males; and that at every
age of life the death rate is lower among
females than among males. From his
figures he shows that the mean eXpec-
tation of life of males is 41.32 and of
females 44.62. He also finds dimin-
ished death rate in both sexes, and the
improvement in living is shown to lee
greater in females than in males. This
proves a statement made in 1861 by one
of the English government actuaries,
that on general principles, if there
should be a general improvement in
living, it would first be manifested in
females. In this country we find from
statistics that the same things prevail.
This making special subject of women
insurance has had the effect of Undue
ing women to insure who never before
thought of the subject, and as rule it
is being taken up with a great deal of
interest"
Have there been any attempts made
by them to defraud?"
Yes, there have, but where we find
isolated instances of women insuring
by fraud there are numerous cases Of
men doing the same thing. One thing
observed IL such business is that al
though women are fighting for equal
rights and all the privileges that men
have, yet they don't want to assume the
same responsibility, and when trouble
comes they want to shield themselves
behind their sex. The experience of
our company has developed the fact that
women ought to be held to the same ac-
countability as men, for they have
shown themselves equally as shrewd in
putting up, pressing, and even creating
insurance claims as any man l have
come across in my experience. We have
cases where women have attempted to
insure husband in failing health, but
we have had no cases that 1 am aware
Of where deception has been practiced
as to age.

The plot thickens so far rs the angelic
Mrs. Molloy, the prohibition lecturer
and crank, is concerned. In the pre-
hminary examination of Mrs. MOllOy
and her adopted daughter. Cora Lee,
charged with being accessories TO the
murder Of Mrs. Graham, the evidence
all points to their guilt. II is plain
that they induced their friend Graham
TO leave his wife; then en;ice her to
Missouri and murder her, concealng
the body in sight of the place where he
and Mrs. MollOy an1 Cora were living
in open adultery. His crimes extended
further back. Graham himself con-
fesses that his Illicit relations with the
MollOy woman extended over several
years, and covered the time she was
prancing around Kansas lecturing her
superiors on morality. When Graham
made the statements, i'm written form.
concerning his relations with Mrs. Mol
10y, that woman broke down entirely
and the dispatches say that she took
poison in the en1cavOr TO end Eer life.
Springfield, Mo-, is wonderfully excited
over the occurrence, and there now ap-
pears no doubt but Graham will be
convicted as the principal and Mrs.
MOllOy and Cora Lee as accessories for
the murder of Mrs. Graham.

OR TICKET

We want to see mayor and council
elected on the 9Th of April pledged to
collect the very highest fines possible
from saloons, gambling houses, gamb-
lers, and drug stores that sell liquor
If this traffic must exist, and there APP
pears to be no immediate probability OF
its ceasiDg, we want to see every dollar
made out of it that is possible.
We want to see a mayor and council
that will have none but fearless and
impartial policemen, and under no cir
cImstances officers who are the asso-
ciates of prostitutes, the conidants OF
thieves or the pets OF saloon keepers
We want to see officers who will fear.
lessly arrest all violators of law
whether they belong to a select circle
or are strangers within our gates. We
want to see rich and poor treated alike
and no such thing as ''pets."
We believe that a majority of the
best citizens of this town are in favor
of just such measures and men as we
have suggested, and we believe they
will see to it that such ticket is elected
April 9Th, 1886.
We are no prohibition crank, nor are
we owned or in any way controlled by
the "whiskey elements" but we are in
favor Of doing the best thing for the
prosperity of this city and community
We are alike opposed to star-chambel
proceedings, and dictation of tickets BY
any class or faction.

Prices TOO HIGH.

Every day we are further convinced
that the prices asked for real estate in
Medicine Lodge are entirely too high.
The result of this is that people who
would invest and build houses are pre-
cluded from doing so. A party may
have $1,000 which he would be glad to
put into paying real estate, but when
he las paid from 81 800 to s., 800 for a
lot he has little left with which to erect
building, and nothing left to purchase
stock with, should he desire to engage
in business.
There are not less than fifty lots on
Main street between Second avenue
and Lincoln avenue on which there are
no buildings, and as many more ON
which there are rickety frame build
ings, an eyesore to the town.
These Tote are all desirable, but they
will remain vacant for some time to
come unless the owners drop from the
fancy figures they are now demanding.
The same trouble exists on Kansas
avenue, Washington avenue, aud
First avenue.
And in the residence portions of the
town, lots are entirely too high. A
poor man with few hundred dollars
can afford to buy a lot and build a
cheap house; but he dare not think
even of such a luxury as a SEQ lot. and
this is by no means the limit to which
residence lots have gone.
There sho1ld beencouragement given

structure; for he win then become
identified with the city and viii spend
his earnings in improving that home.

SOCIETY DRESSES.

Miss Cleveland has been sharply cri-
ticised for encouraging at the white
house immodest dresses in society. A
lady sends the following to the Boston
Transcript which she received from
Miss Cleveland in respons to q note of
inquiry on the subject:
Il am very glad you have spoken to
me about the matter, for it gives me an
opportunity to say to you, and through
you perhaps to others, what have
long wished but have had no oppor-
tunity TO say against immOdesty. I
have silent protest, which it is every
woman's right to make, by having my
own dress waist cut in a style which.
so far as modesty is concerned, / should
be quite willing to have all women to
whom this style of dress is becoming
and comfortable, follow. / approve of
an evening dress which shows the neck
and arms. l do not approve of any
dress which shows the bust between the
neck and breast. There is a lineal
waist to be drawn, and it is as clear to
the most frivolous society woman as to
an anatomist. This line need never be
passed, and fashionable women's low
necked evening dresses need never be
immodest. If it is so, it is because she
prefers it. It's wholly false, so far as
have observed-that observing scarcity
OF waists and sleeves that mark the
gowns Of society women. This is pain
fully true Of society women, and it is
indeed spoken of as nauseating, revolt
ing and deserving of the most severe
denunciatiOn on the score of morality.
beauty, health and every consideration
which good women should conspire to
preserve and exact. There is need Of
very few words OH this subject. and no
argument. Any American woman can
wear the waist of her dress up TO the
lobes OF her ears, if she likes. There is
no queen to command her appearance

eontriye her dress that by exposure of
her person all true social optics. and
ethics as well, are revolted. Between
the two there is an appropriate, beauti-
ful and modest mean, which thew can.
If they will, follow
On this same subject, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton has written an open letter con-
sidering the question of health as rela-
tive to the cOrsages, she thinks that if
the ladies cannot reconcile themselves
to such stringent measures as draping
all their charms the display of the lower
limbs would be less injurious as none of
the vital organs are located in that part
OF the human organism. She expects
, that fashions come mainly from the
courtesans of France, whose chief study
is to play on the passions of men and all
dressing is with that view. "Our in
nocent girls" she says, mistake the
example of this class of women without
understanding the philosophy on which
their fashions are based"

We believe that the whiskcy cues
ton is by no means the only one of in
terest TO the people of Medicine Lodge
at this time, and the two factions that
are laboring so industriously to shape
the tickets to be voted for next month,
so that the successful candidates will
unquestionably favor or oppose tie col
lection of fines from liquor dealers, are
neither representing the best interests
of this town. We do not believe that
the time has come when only the in
tcrests Of the saloon men should be
considered, nor 90 we believe there is
any immediate necessity for a city gov
eminent setting itself up in the especial
business of enforcing the prOhibitory
law. On the one hand there are mer-
camille and social interests that are far
more deserving of encouragement than
saloons and whisky drug stores, and on
the other hand the state and county are
supposed to be able to attend to the en-
forcing the general statutory enact
ment without calling on the city gov
eminent for assistance.
