FAILED FOR A MILLION.
End Of the Skyrockct Career Of Grant c.
Gillett.

Gillctt.
ABEl.INE. Kan, Nov. 2S.-A failure
involving cattle interests throughout
the Southwest was precipitated here
during the day. when an attachment
suit for SAC. 600 was filed against Grant
&. Gillett of Woodbine by the Gillespie
Commission company OF Kansas City.
Gillett controls thousands of cattle on
the Southwest ranges and his Liabilities
are believed to be over 81. 200. 900.
The career of Grant {. Glllett has
been of the skyrocket order. He is but
81 years Of age and his operations have
startled the more conservative STOCK
men. Four years ago he lived on a
mortgaged quarter section of land near
Woodbine, where he began in his cattle
trade by feeding steers for others.
His Methods Daring and Novel.
In this he was successful. and on the
little ranch he laid the groundwork OF u
business which has enabled him to han
die over zoo, 900 cattle within the last
three wears. His methods were a novel
as thew were daring. Soon he seemed
to have unlimited credit. He bought
great droves Of cattle in Texas and
brought them north for saleand feeding.
Soon he organized his celebrated COW
how band, composed Of plainsmen in his
employ, and, when he rode about the
country in his special car, he took his
band of musicians with him. He even
to,L +ba,n into Eastern cities, where
thev attracted much attention.

The National Educational Associa-

hundred eminent educators, jurists,
scientists and scholars to promote the
cause of the University of the United

be taking shape in committee prepar-
Atory for bill before congress.

Hall Game on the Woman Movement.

Hall Game on the Woman Movement
Mr.. Hall Game recently was asked,
in an interview for The Humanitar-
ian: Are you in sympathy with what
ia known as the Woman Movement|
lie replied:
II have long had very deep sym
psthy with the better part of it. To-
deed, it would be very hard for me to
say how deeply l feel that the posi-
ton which woman has 80 long held is
an unjust and cruel and monstrous
one. Even religion itself seems to
have been the open enemy of woman,
and Christianity, after nineteen hum
bred years has not improved upon
the tyranny Of the old Jewish law.
although Jesus was the greatest
friend and champion of w.man that
the world has ever known. Down to
very recent years, even in England,
the position OF woman has been one
of the grossest injustice. Even when
the queen came to the throne, -
woman's position 10 Eugland WAS
that of honorable servitude. II she
was married, the law regarded her as
one with her husband; il unmarried,
she was still u grown-up infant IN
swaddling clothes In short, woman's
place in England WAS almost entirely
dependent upon her agreeableness
and usefulness to man. For many
centuries there had been no idea in
the heads Of Legislators that she pos
sessed any legal right except those OF
marrying and giving In marriage, and
ruling over the cooking and the nur
sery. OF course, there was no con-
ecious cruelty IN all this, and it was
probably based on theory Of the ut
ter helpIessness Of woman to take
care Of herself in any circumstances,
the old idea of her incapacity for
business and the general lnferiority
Of her talents. All this ID changed -
As / took occasion to say at the La
dies Dinner OF the New Vsgabond
Club, the idea Of the legal subordi.
nation of the one sex to the other
died hard, and it would be amusing,
if 1t were worth while, 10 say how
hard. AS to the future, Huxley tells
us that in the new order of things re-
garding women the old Sale law
is not gong to be repealed, and no
change of dynasty will be effected. -
1t is not necessary to expect that
Huxley will be found TO be entirsly
a false prophets but surely it is clear
already that the position Of woman In
relation to humanity is now undergo
ing a complete change"
In short, you do not seem to be
terrified with the idea of finding wo-
men in parliament, or yet in the pull
pit, or perhaps even in the cabinets"
Il am by no means terrified by the
prospect Of any of these things, and
yet / doubt if many of them will
come to pass. There is a physiologi-
cal limitation to woman's sphere, -
which will certainly assert itself.
Woman is not often endowed with
the faculties of leader, though she
has extraordinary executive power.
Therefore l do not look to see women
in administrative positions, but l do
expect to find them soon in executive
positions of great Importance and
trust." WOn1dnkind

Over in China four JEALOUS daugh-
ters OF an American Missionary have
organized among the young Chinese
women, an Anti. Foot Binding Socie-
ty, which after almost repeated fail
ures and existing IN most precPl-
ous condition has very suddenly
taken on new life and has grown 10
Influential proportions The young
ladies will attempt to take the ques
ton into the Chinese court, in hope
OF obtaining royal support.
The first temporary committee OF
tho National Federation OF Women's
Musical Clubs, held the meeting to
aff9ct permanent organization, at
Steinway Hall in Chicago. The ben
efits Of this Federation are many. A
spirit OF comradesbip will be estab-
lished thereby, and great opportunl-
ties afforded by the annual meeting
for the personal acquaintance Of
prominent musical club workers. 1t is
expected that the standard of musical
composition and productions among
the clubs will be raised as a result Of
interchange of thought through cor
respondenCe and meetings.
There seems to be various ways Of
defeating an ohjsct which has prom

lous methods seems to have been
edopted to defeat an object of success

city charter Of that city, provides for
the appointment OF police matron by
the sheriff. After delaying the sp-
pointment as long as possible, at last
Mrs. Mary SLllwell was named, and
the board Of supervisors has now
fixed her salary at $40 per year, max
ing it practically impossible for any
woman to give her time to the work
La Froude is a daily paper for
women, by women the first issue ap-
peared in December 8, 1897. The

publishers will supply La Fronde

may be the rallylDg joint for all

Tax Collector Jones Dead.

Bowie county tax collector, J. w
Jones, died last night at his home in
New Boston, Texas, of pneumonia.
Deceased was serving his second
term as tax collector, and as we can
learn, gave satisfaction to his con-
stituency.
Mr. Jones, aside from being tax
collector, was in the mercantile bus.
mess and did a general supply bus,
ness. He had amassed a snug little
fortune and was in the zenith OF
young and vigorous manhood.
This loss to Bowie county will be
great and, to his family, sad blow.

has had long and intimate ac-
quaintance with the deceased and
always found him a true, we'll mean.

friend, full of noble impulses.

them proper burial
