WHERE LINCOLN KEPT STORE"
Crayon In the Capitol Building of tho Old
Salem Water Mill.

Crayon in the Capitol Building of tho Old
Salem Water Mil.
On the wall ut the head of the
main stairway of the capitol build
ing ct Spring field, ILL.,, hangs a
large work in crayon. 1t is just be-
low a historical picture representing
Col. George Rogers Clarke and q party
OF well-fed, plump soldiers making a
treaty with number of unusually clean,
well-groomed Indians of largo stature
The crayon picture is the work of Miss
Kate p. Degge, of st. Louis, Mo. 1t is
an accurate representation of one Of
the most noteworthy spots in Illinois
Its subject is the old water mill at
Salem, on the Sangamon river, in Me-
nard county.
Salem was something of town q
good many years ago, and Mr.. Lincoln
for time the postmaster of the village.
Water mills were scarce il Illinois
when Salem was thrifty place. There
were but few Of them in all this coun.
try. Salem has disappeared off the
face of the earth. Not a hou sc remains
to denote the location of the town where
Lincoln ''kept store"
The mill was torn doVn some time
aGs. Before it was destroyed Miss
Degge, who was n great admircr of Mr..
Lincoln, made trip to Menard county
and sketched the old mill. From this
tracing she has worked out the picture
above referred to. She has presented
it to the state with her compliments
and obtained the right to photograph
the picture. The only condition &C.
companying the gift, aside from the
question OF the photographs above men.
toned, was that she should be permit.
ted to select the location for the pic.
ture. She came to Springfield some
weeks ago, accompanied by her broth.
er, and at her request the picture was
hung where it is to-day.
Secretary of State Hinrichson, who /.
by law the custodian of the capitol
building, accepted the compliment in
the name of the state. The legislature
should take action in the premises and
by joint resolution signify to Miss Deree
the appreciation of the people of the
state for her thoughtfulness and care IL
preserving an accurate representation
Of the old mill.

A NEW RAILROAD.

From POcatellO to Salmon River
Country.
Pocatello Tribune.
Col. S. M. Sharp of Custer county
was in the city Wednesday. He
was on his way home from Salt
Lake City, where he had been in
conference with Capt. DeLamar
the mining millionaire, and Gen.
eral Manager Bancroft of the Ore
gon Short Line & Utah Northern
railroad.
Col. Sharp is interested with
w. A. Clark the Montanr million
aire, and others in some enormous
copper properties at Houston,
Idaho, and the object Of his con-
ference with Capt. DeLamar was
to interest him in these, and his
conference with General Manager
Bancroft was to interest him in q
project to build a railroad from
Pocatello to the Salmon river
country.
The Colonel announces that he
received much encouragement from
both sources and feels assured that
the POcatello & Salmon river rail-
road will be built. The line will
extend from Pocatello in an al
most direct line northwest crossing
the Snake near Danielson's Springs
to Arco and from there to Hous-
ton and thence up the Lost river
to the divide between the Salmon
and Lost rivers. Crossing the di-
vide the line will extend up Sal
mon river to Salmon City.
There is an easy grade the
whole way and the line will be
very cheaply operated. 1t will
tap rich farming and stock rails
ing communities and the richest
mining district in the west
There are no finer deposits of cop
per in the country than those O
Houston and the mines of Bay
Horse, Clayton, Custer, Bonanza
Sheep Mountain, Stanley Basin
Salmon and Yellow Jacket are al
rich and big producers.
Col. Sharp thinks that Pocatell,
is an ideal location for big smelt
ers and reduction works and tn.
natural center for all the countr,
to be tapped by the new railroad

Mr.. Ward L. Smith, of Friedrich
ston, Mo-, was troubled with
chronic diarrhoea for over thirty
years. He had become fully salts
fed that it was only question Of
a short time until he would have
to give up. He had been treated
by some of the best physicians in
Europe and America but got no
permanent relief. One day he
picked up a newspaper and chanc-
ed to read an advertisement of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. He got a bot
tie of it, the first dose helped him
and its continued use cured him.

Chess Club For Women.

The Women's Chess club of New York
is regarded with much interest. as il
is the first corporated chess club start
ed for women in this country. The in
corporators are Miss Eliza Campbell
Foot, Miss Jean L. Nesbit. Miss Emily
Somers HaineS. Mrs. Winthrop Parker
and Miss Sophie Downer.
The club meets in an attractive club
room at the Town and Country club,
L East Twenty-second street. on Tues
days at 2:30 o'clock. Seven chess ia
bles are placed at every meeting, with
a regulation sized chessboard on each
table. on the bulletin board hangs the
code adopted by the Manhattan Chess
club, to which the members may refer
at any time to decide questions that may
arise pertaining to the game.
The chess season begins the first
Tuesday in November and ends the last
Tuesday in April. 20 meetings being held
during the season. Altogether the idea
os a woman's chess club has proved
most successful. The membership is
not large as comparatively few women
play the game. but the club is growing.
and the officers are always glad 10 give
any information desired regarding the
club.

appeared on the stage a lady who lives
next door to US and who doesn't be-
lieve in corsets or anything that's frivo-

poem called The Hearse," which was
calculated to harrow the feelings of any
mothers present and give Nightmares

loudly enough for her to give another
recitation. although she was prepared

The Pleasures Of
Life In the
Country.
copyright, 1871

There is always one pleasure IN
spending the summer in the country,
one pleasure which stands out promi-
nently and which is as certain as the
sun or the moon or any of the myster-
les that we count as certain. but which
are extremely uncertain. This certain
pleasure is the fair given for the benefit
OF the poorest church in the neiShbor-
hood We were warned of il about two
weeks ago when the minister called to
solicit donations. He is a pale young
man. who looks half starved, but he has
high aspirations He boards with one
Of his congregation, an elderly lady who
likes to have man in the house, and
the result Is that he looks as if the
strongest meat given him were tea and
toast Still much must be forgiven
him, since ne has 10 live on $3.50 year
and please a congregation largely COM
posed of women. The fair is always
got up when summer boarders are to
the fore. probably because the natives
object to spending money and know
that the average summer boarder is
soft thing easily fooled. In the very
beginning we all promised to give some
second night to the entertainment.
1t was beautiful to see the basket of
fancy work that went down from our
establishment. One lady, who wears
her hair in a Psyche knot gave a plate
covered with postage stamps. Every
body pronounced il very artistic, but to
me it suggested that the measles had
broken out in or on china. Another

ing how to knit lace for flannel petit
coats, so she gave all her failures-that
lis those where stitches had been drop
ped or where any old worsted had been
used, in place of that showing proper
-colors. It's curious how willing we are
70 give trumpery to the Lord. Then
there were little hats to hold hairpins-
in reality dust collectors-pincushio
s1idies and the usual riffraff that is sup
posed to be suited to a bazaar.

they would be sold cheap and often

stove was voted to that inoffenSive min

cause she was a half orphan and cried
so hard they gave her a rocking chair
with a red plush cushion. l wonder if
she will sit in that chair and imagine
she's riding a bicycle.

For the Little Folk.

All the children of the swell younger
set who have entered their ponies and
phaetons or their carts in the pony
parades which are given in the va
rious suburbs will be delighted TO
learn that there are two little ladies at
Newport, the daughters OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Ogden Mills. who owns very styl-
ish trap and drive a fOur-in-hand. OF
course the Older sister does the driving
and is an excellent whip. managing her
ponies far better than many a grown
up woman, who frequently drives one
horse quite awkwardly. The little girls
always take their younger brother and
their poodle dog. and all make a pretty
picture as they take two rides on the
fashionable avenues each day.
