Mines and
Mining.
Iron Mountain Exhausted.

Iron mining promised at one time to
be one of the greatest resources of the
state of Missouri. Irou mountain war
discovered very early in the history of
the Mississippi valley by the French
explorers, who bad d remarkable fac
ulty for seeming out minerals The
discovery was soon known to the civil
lied world, and Iron mountain took
the unique place in the Biographies
and geOIOgies as solid mountain of
iron ore and the largest deposit in the
world.
The ore, as then exposed, consisted
OF q cliff or pinnacle two or three acres
in extent, rising perpeudicularly to a
height of seventy-ive feet near the
center of the mountain.
The rise and fall Of this great in
dustry makes an interesting chapter in
the industrial history of Missouri. A
company WAS organized in 1845 to ex-
plot the great Iron mountain deposits.
The cOmpany's operations were on gil
gantic scale. The number of mules and
horses necessary to transport the ore
reached into the hundreds, and q farm
of l, 800 acres was cleared up and put
under cultivation to provide them hay,
oats and pasture. During its palmy
days a small army of men was employ
ed to operate the mine and it's collate-
raj enterprises. For years the regu-
lar force consisted of 1920 employees,
va -iOusly disposed in mining, smelling,
transport ng and charcoal bui ming,
farming; etc. A city soon sprang up,
which at one time had population of
close to 5000, and for long period
was the largest, liveliest and most
prosperous on the Iron Mountain rail-
road outside of St. Louis itself.
After taking out 3, 500, 900 tons of as
rich ore as was ever mined, averaging
81 per cent of pure iron, the great Iron
Mountain mine is no more; it's glories
are de parted; its 1,200 workmen have
dwindled to twenty-five, who are now
engaged in scraping up and sorting
the last of the tailings, preparatory to
abandoning the works forever.
The once busy population is scatter
ed; not fifty of them are left. The
churches, schools and lodge rooms are
deserted. The dwelling houses are
crumbling on their foundations. Not
store or shop is open; Uncle Sam does
not even maintain a postoffice, and but
one train day each way stops at the
railway station. The little
graveyard maintains its population,
but has not grown very rapidly of late,
except to weeds and bushes. 1t is
picture of ruin and desolation to be
seen only in ancient lands and in the
mining camps Of modern America.

SOME men are heard to expr4sythei

SOME men are heard to express their
regret that Roosevelt was elected gov
ernor Of New York. The reasons for
be said to proceed either from party
prejudice or from jealousy. 1t is of
course true that many people, even
some of Teddy's best friends, are in
clined to sneer at his war record. A
great many people think that he is af-
flicted with what is technically known
as the big head, and that in Office he
will be overbearing and dictstorial,
and that he has all the requisites for
making one of the most aggressive.b hos
ses the country has ever known.
Some republicans have supported
him half heartedly, because they have
faI.cied that his election to the gov
ernor. hip of New York would be q
stepping stone to the presidency and
because they have professed to
believe that Teddy as president
would be the ruination of the party.
Governor Roosevelt has his faults.
What man Of sterling worth has not?
But after all is said against him that
can be said, the fact remains that Gov
ernor Roosevelt is a clean, honorable,
honest, forceful, sincere man, whose
stature as q man is so far above that of
most of his critics that they appear RI
diculous beside him. While Col.
Roosevelt is politician, the term as
applied to him does not carry with it
covert slur. 1t would be we'll if we had
more of the same sort. He will make
combinations ard use all legitimate
means to accomplish his ends, but he
is absolutely fearless and independent
In his actions, and if he thinks he is
right he will go ahead if he breaks up
his party. The bosses will have hard
time to handle him.

dodging the antitrust law in way
that would do credit to the democratic
Gang here for simplicity. Each road,
acting independently and individ ually,
raises the price of coal fifty cents per

several companies happen to take the
action simultaneously, that is all. Not

that plan would be fairer to the diff

The progress" of Women.

New York Tribune.
In the course of some remarks to the
women of the Twelfth Night Club the
other day Mr.. Game, the writer of
problem" novels and plays, spoke of
| the advance women have made in the
last fifty years in taking part in the
| work of the outside world. Before
that time marriage and the nursery
set up the first and only claim to their
attention. Now, he said man and wife
are no longer one, but women think
and act for themselves and put on q
masculine manner. ALI of which
he regarded as proof of prog
ress and as making the new type of
woman much more attractive than the
old. In the latest contribut! on to "new
woman" literature there is unques-
tionably much truth. Women are do
ing more of the worlds work than be-
less attention to marriage and the
nursery. In many cases husband and
wife are not one, save in name. And
many women have assumed q mss
culipe manner. So far we must agree
with the speaker. But from his con-
clusion that these things are cause for
congratulation we are confident the
unhesitatingly and emphatically dis
sent.
We are far from subscribing to the
brutal creed once-we believe wrongly
attributed to Bismarck, that women
are fit only to bake bread and breed
babies" But we venture to hold that
the claim of marriage and the nursery
to woman's fret attention il valid
and worthy one. If there be higher
worldly mission than to continue the
work of the creator himself, we have
not yet been made acquainted with it.
The physicians work, sin saving lives,
is noble; but this work creates lives.
The work of the priest in saving souls
fro6 elm is noble; but this work is the
CREATION of new souls. For if no one
cth be too good. no preparation too
Great, the most perfect physical gifts,
the most liberal intellectual culture,
the Hottest spiritual attachments, may
well find their contamination and their
coronation in meeting this 'clsim of
marriage and the nursery" which is
nowadays so often regarded with some
thing akin to aversion and contempt.
For that claim his simply call to re-
creation of the human race and the
closest possible partnership with God.
Nor can we regard it as a good thing
for husband and wife not to be one;
one, that is, in mind and spirit. We
must confess a certain partially for
the ancient principle that "they twain
shall be one flesh" That may be mere
superstition. just as the notion of 1.-TWO
souls with but single thought, two
hearts that beat as one" Is mere
poetry. Still, it has been
realized uncounted times in the long
history of our race, and al
ways, we are persuaded, with
the happiest results. Nor yet can we
regard the assumption of a masculine
manner by women as any enhancement
OF their attractiveness or as any eleva-
ton of their standing in the world any
more than we could admire effeminacy
in a man. To each his or her true ma

house OF representatives is-still in
doubt. Both sides claim control by q
small majority. Both sides admit the
uncertainty, and the contest is so close
that it is extremely interesting. Upon
the turn of q district or two may de-
pend the destiny of this country for the
next two years. If the republicans
should be in the minority they would
fail to elect the speaker, and Mckinley
would find that he had hard PROPOSE
tion on his hands when he tried to force
any desirable currency or revenue leg
islation through the house. In all
probability the final result will be so
close that every question that comes up
for discussion will depend for its dis
position on the turn of very few
votes.

MISS ROSES wARDRoBE.
Thoughtful1y Provided for Possible
Change in the Weather.

It will be interesting and reassuring
to the people of Topeka to know that
Miss Rose received some good advice
in Honolulu as to her wardrobe and
came to Topeka prepared for cold
weather, with which we may be visited
in the next week or two with our vari-
able climate. It seems that Mr.. and
Mrs. D. H. Case thoughtfully advised
Miss Rose to prepare for a possible
change of the weather and she arrived
with an abundance of heavier clothing
Being accustomed to the soft tropical
climate Of Hawaii, the danger to her
health might otherwise have been great.
Many Of Miss Roses s1aintiest summer
dresses were left in Honolulu and in
place she brought several heavy tailor
made gowns, A large trunk full of win
ter gowns that would be totally out of
season here was left in San Francisco
and Miss Rose brought with her two
large trunks besides her simple travel
ling outfit.
Miss Roses outfit, besides her regal
robes, consists of an exquisite evening
gown of yellow crepe cut decol1ete with
short sleeves. An evening gown of
pink crepe with high neck and long
sleeves. A salmon and white striped
silk reception gown decoIlete with ell
bow sleeves. A tailor made street cos

The Queen of TOpeka's Third
Annual Carnival.
AT BICYCLE RACES.
Miss Rose is an Enthusiastic
WheelWOman Herself.
Retires Early to Recuperate For
the Carnival.

Miss Rose Is an ardent bicyclist as
well as equestrienne, and when at home
she takes her daily rides attired In a
suit of white duck. Miss Rose follows
the custom of her countrywomen when
horseback riding and rides astride at
tired in a divided skirt riding habit OF
olive green broadcloth. While Miss Rose
is thoroughly fin de seicle as to her
riding habit and is an expert swimmer
she draws the line at abbreviated BIZ
cycle costumes. Miss Rose attended the
bicycle races last night. When she left
the Manspeaker home at o'clock
large crowd was assembled to see her
as she entered her carriage. The crowd
was packed the entire distance Of the
canopy and the street was blocked with
carriages. AS Miss Rose entered her
carriage she was greeted with cheers
which she gracefully acknowledged. The
ride to the park occupied half an hour,
as all along the way people on foot and
in carriag es crowded the street to catch
a glimpse as she passed. When the
carriages arrived within three blocks of
the entrance to the park the crowd was
so dense that it. was with great diff
Guilty that the carriages could make any
Roadway, and when the entrance to the
track was reached Miss Rose found but
a narrow pathway left for her to make
her way to the special box prepared for
her and her party. Both sides of the
narrow pathway were packed with peO-
pie all trying to get a closer view of
the Rose of Hlo."
The box was tastefuly bedecked with
flags and bunting, and as Miss Rose
entered it she was greeted as she is
everywhere by tremendous applause.
Miss Rose took an especial interest
in the triplet and watched it carefully
as the trio of riders flew by the box.
No one enjoyed the excitement of the
close finishes more than she did and she
was liberal in her applause. The Ian
tern display in the park was a novel
sight to the Carnival Queen. IT have
seen Chinese lantern displays in Homo
lulu and Hilo, but I have never seen
anything to equal this" said Miss Rose.
1T seems like fairyland."
Miss Rose asserted that she was not
tired, but she was prevailed upon to
leave before the races were finished in
order that she might obtain a good
nights rest before the events of today.
It was IL o'clock before she reached the
NaRspeaker home and she Immediately
retired.
Manager Crawford yesterday rendered
Miss Rose and party the two lower
boxes on the south side of the Crawford
theater for Saturday and Monday night.
She accepted and will attend both per-
formances. Miss Rose says that EiIo
cannot boast of theaters, and she en-
joys such occasions very much.

YOUNG BOTKIN DYING.
Son of the Kansas Congressman Can
not Live.

A telegram was received today by H.
F. Hulit from Congressman J. D. Bot
kin announcing that his son Ralph is
lying at the point of death and cannot
live. The boy is sick with typhoid fever
contracted at Camp A1ger.
Ralph BOtkin is only 16 years old and
got a special order from President Nc
Kinley to allow him to enlist. After
the Twenty second Kansas went to
Camp Alger Ralph, who was in Wash
ingtOn with his father, wanted to enlist
in the Kansas regiment. His father
was averse to allowing him to do so on
account of his extreme youth, but ad-
niring the boys pluck, at length gave
his consent. His age was still in the
way of enlisting, but he went to the
president and told him his desires. Nc
Kinley was also impressed with the
boys determination and gave him an
order directed to Adjutant General Cor
bin to muster him into the TWenty-sec-
ond Kansas.
While he was encamped at Camp AL
ger he laid the foundations for his
present sickness and as soon as the
regiment came west he secured a fur
Tough and went to his home at Win
field, where he apidly became worse.
Congressman Botl6in came to Topeka
Wednesday and was to have addressed
his old comrades, but shortly after he
arrived here he was called home again,
to find his boy near death. Mrs. Botkin
was visiting at Baldwin, and she, too,
has been summoned home.
