Vaughn, both of Mt. Hope, and stated
that comedy young lady of lola APP
peared before the ceremony and plead

widow but to take .her. Mrs.
DeVaughn is a widow who owns con-
siderable land near Mt. Hope and
Meng has been her head farmer. They
decided to wed and then the lola girl
broke in Two years ago she was en-
gagged to him and at her own request
the engagement was broken, but when
she found another was going to cap
ture. Meng she hurried to Mt. Hope
and followed the couple to Wichita,

Saturday. The desease that caused
her death strongly resembled dypther-

were tenderly laid to rest in the lola
cemetery. For the reason that the
disease seemed to be contagious and
has already spread considerable it
was deemed best to have the school at
Union stop until danger has passed.

Superintendent Billbe figures It ous
that with $3.50 school children in AL
len county the graduating classes
from the common schools ought to num-
Der close to 600 a year instead OF 40.
And in town where there are 1000 chill
dren of school age the graduating
classes ought to be from 100 to 200 in
stead of fifteen and twenty. Through
some fault the great majority of school
children who should graduate drop
out.

Monday from Mrs. Fulton at Kansas

Mrs. Fulton also reported that she
had secured trace of her renegade hus-

the family may get on their feet
again.

THE POET.

The poet must know the sum of life
He must listen and learn
of the chipping wren,
And catch the sweep
of the eagles flight,
II he find the scope
of his dream struck pen.
The poet must know the sum Of life =
He must walk with saints
and those who fall;
He must tread rose-path
stnevn with thofns,
And find his sweet
in cup Of gall.
The poet must know the sum Of life
He must tread IN the path
where the toilers plod,
And must climb the erag heights,
stained with blood
From the doors of he'll
to the Gates of God.

Message from the President.

wish to thank the clubs of the state
for the hearty and prompt response II
wish all club women would learn to an
swe- all club correspondence by return
maiD to the II quest for their year books.
More than thirty have already been re-
ceived, but still there are more to hear
from. 1 would like very much to have
the year book or written program. with
full list of new officers, from every club
in the state. A club directory is much
more easily compiled from the year
book than from letters. 1t is necessary
that the year book ehould be sent i'm
mediately if the names of the new Off
GERS are to 60 IN the new year book of
the state federation, which will be issued
this month. Also, it seems advisable
that the delegates elected by each club
to reprt sent it at the annual meeting
should have adequate time to prepare
their reports. TheIe fore, recommend
that such election take place at the
mid winter meeting, or not later than
the business meeting in June-not that
a larger report may be made, but that
the delegate may have ample time to
note all the salient points in the life Of
her club for the year. thus making her
report clear and condensed, giving only
that which is best and most character
istic. These reports are Of the utmost
impor: snce. and in order to give each
club an equal opportunity, the time
limit Of three minutes will be rigidly

Monday morning one-third are drunk
and laid of for that cause. The many
fearful mine accidents come from drink
and drunken persons not discovered
among the thousands going to work
until they get in the mines.
z. The dynamite monopoly is great
fioancial burden. not on account OF price
alone as that the grade is very low, and
hence many useless and sudden explo-
sions.
8. The coal monopoly on coal dug
not ten miles away from the mines is
an outrage. The freight charged is
from six to twenty four cents ton per
mile, where in England or America it
would be half cent. Directing to this
prohibilory rate on coal, the miners OF
the coal built a railroad to the coal
mines, when the volksraad passed law
prohibiting the road. Then they brought
coal in ox-ca.ts; they prohibited this
also.
The thousands of Americans and
English and others having thus their
rights trampled upon, petitioned time

the volksraad a petition for these rights:

nearly all are Uitlandsrs.
B. Equality OF Dutch and English
languages (only Dutch is usedl.
4. Heads OF government departments,
such as mining. to be responsible to
legislature direct.
s. Removal of all religious disability.
6. Courts to be independent.
Z. Education to be free and liberal.
s. Free trade with other parts OF the
country.
This petition, with forty thousand
names, was received with sneers and
jeers in the volksraad, and the reply to
it was: "If you want these come and
fight for them" The people then sp-
pealed to England to intervene for
their rights, for succor and protection,
for free speech. privilege OF meeting TO-
gether and sanctity of home.

Mrs. Westover Alden, club editor of
the New York Tribune, recently gave
an address before the convention of the
state federation of women's clubs Of
New York, which has given rise to much
discussion and criticism. Mrs. Alden
claims that women do not succeed in
business life because of lack of training
in assuming responsibilities from girl
hood that positions Of executive re-
sponsibility in large establishments are
not open to women; that there must be
a man-manager at telephone heado uar-
tiers; male principal and superintend-
ent Of schools; the floor walkers in the
big stores and superintendent of large
factories must be men, because "con-
science and logic are the two elements
that 60 to make up justice. Both are
neglected in the training Of girls. Hard
as 1t is to get man who will treat a
hundred girls fairly and get the best
work out of them, it Is ten times harder
to find woman who will do the same
thing. 10 fact, the latter job is 30 diff.
ficult that business men give it I'D in
despair. They cannot waste their tine,
hunting for prodigies. They must have,
a system, and that system must involve
male superintendence Of fenaIe labor.
