STATE PRESS COMMENT.

Richfield Censor: If woman suffrage is
threatened with any one danger in Utah
at the present time it is that the women
are not taking the interest in public af
fairs that they should They still neglect
to read the papers; they allow the most
important public affairs to pass by unno-
ttced they do not make themselves felt,
and they must suffer the consequences
sooner or later. The women or Utah
must remember that their duty did not
end with getting the franchise; it then
just began. The franchise was simply a
duty placed upon the women, and they
are not filing it as we'll as they should.
AS rule, women lead better moral lives
than men: yet Their vote has not as yet
put a higher tinge of morality to our
municipal and other governments. They
are usually more Interested in the schools
than are their husbands, but they have
not been the power they should have been
in lettering educational matters. Woman
suffrage is all right, but it must be used
or it will never accomplish anything, and
every woman must use her vote in way
to make it felt.

to oppose the law or resort to violence;
that help would be given by practical
action in the shape of organization and

Jailbirds Escape.

A number of iailbirds made desper-
ate attempt to break Jail at Nashville
last week. One of the prisoners was
outside of the cage on the lower floor,
in the capacity of turnkey. When
Jailor Matlock opened the outside gate
to take the prisoners dinner in to them
the inside turnkey quickly let the pris-
oners out of the cage, and half dozen
of them attacked the jailor. He made
desperate fight, but five of the pris-
oners got out, four of them escaping to
the street. One was recaptured in
front of the jail and another on Broad
street, but the others are still at large.
When Matlock was being beaten over
over the head with doorlock he
shouted for Core, the county physician.
That officer got his shotgun and went
to the rescue just in time to prevent
the whole cage full of prisoners from
getting away. Matlock was as bloody
as hog, but was not seriously hurt.

AID FOR GOLD-SEEKERS,
Secretary of War Alger Believes
He Has Great Idea.
Logging Engines VIII Be Employed to
Get Supplies Over the Frozen Yukon
River to the Fortune-Runters.

WASHING TON, Sept. 19.-Secretary AL
ger is now engaged in an attempt to
solve the question of how to get sup
plies to the Klondil1e gold regions and
thereby prevent the threatened starva-
tion of many miners.
The great Yukon river, which has
formed the main reliance of the miners
as means of getting their supplies up
to Dawson, is without doubt already
closed to navigation by boats, and the
mountain passes via Chilkoot are almost
impossible. The problem, therefore, is
hard one and has taxed the best
thought, not only of Secretary Alger
but of his brother cabinet officers and
of the president, for it has been anx-
iously discussed in the councils of the
administration.
Now, however, it is believed by the
secretary that by means of a novel
character transportation for supplies
into the gold country may be provided
even in the midst of an Alaskan winter.
He has opened correspondence indi-
rectly with a Chicago inventor, who
makes locomotive designed originally
for use in logging camps, but which it
is hoped may be readily adapted to the
navigation of the Yukon when it is
frozen thickly. With a few of these
machines placed on the river it is hoped
that sufficient supply of food and other
necessary stores may be carried up the
Yukon to relieve all distress among the
miners.
The engine is capable of pulling many
tons of logs on sleds at good speed,
even as high as twelve miles an hour.
The engine is boxed in like freight
car and the engineer and fireman are
thereby protected from the rigors of
the winter

length all~points upon which either the
president or Secretary Alger asked for
information. Gen. Lee gave his own
