Her Salary the Highest.

The highest salaried woman employee
In any government department In
Washington is Miss Lillian A, Norton
of Massachusetts,. She has just been
appointed superintendent Of postal
finance in the postoffice department in
place of a man, Albert w. Bingham,
who died about ten days ago after hold
ing that post for more than thirty
years.
1t isn't a wonderfully high salaried
post after all, though, compared with
some of those held by men. 1t pays
$2,250 a year, but that is excellent pay
in Washington for woman, and Miss
Norton is envied, naturally, by her SIS
ter employees of Uncle Sam. She has
been in the government service for fif-
teen years, beginning as a stenOgrapher
in the dead letter office. At Mr.. Bfng-
hams death she was the chief clerk Of
the finance division, and she succeeded
to this post simply because she knew
more about the work Of the division
than any person in it.

The People Against the Trusts.
George d. Cline, in The Hudson
True Republican,: The democrats will
without doubt reiterate in their next
platform the principle of low tariff.
Heretofore the Republican press and
stump orators have charged all the
hard times and financial calamities up
to this simple little declaration.
What will they do now when one wing
of their own party, III fact everything
of the party except the trusts, is hold
ing the same thing? Does it not seem
as if this would make an open contest
of the people against the trusts?

UnriValled in Western
Journalism.

The Waukesha Dispatch truthfully
and ably describes The Milwaukee
journal as follows:
" For intensity and persistency of
purpose, and fairness withal, in what
ever it undertakes, the Milwaukee
Journal stands unrivalled in western
journalism, and no issue is too deep
or involved for it to attempt consider
alton, and it goes into whatever it
undertakes with an exhaustless energy.
The Journal is strikingly unique in
much that it stands for, but it forces
admiration by its bOldness and
cleverness of presentation. 1t meets
abuse with argument, and no weak
point in the armor of its opponents
escapes dehorsing thrusts. 1t has its
own standard of democracy as of
everything else, and is not at all
disturbed because others disagree
with 1t, and it mainains its opinions
with a vigor and fearlessness that
forces conviction in its own sincerity
whatever may be thought of the cause
1t espouses or opposes. EditOrially
The Journal is easily the ablest news
paper in Milwaukee, and its editorial
compendium of the state press with its
own comment Is a unique, valuable
and interesting feature. The Journal
always has something to say itself,
and it affords besides a wider hearing
for the opinions of the newspapers of
the state. However regarded, the
the Journal is politically indispens-
able 70 Wisconsin readers. as its
unapproachable circulation amply
affords best evidence.

A WHITE HOUSE GUEST,
J. Bright Oklahoma Girl to Be En-
tertained by the President.

ny the ITesluenf.
Bessie Mulhall is soon to be the guest
of President and Mrs. Roosevelt at the
White House. She will leave her Okla
homa home in few days on her way
to Washington, accompanied by her IA
Their, the noted lack Mulhall.
All this is interesting for several rea-
sons. First of all, Miss Bessie is re-
markably beautiful. Next, in addition
to the conventional accomplishments
usual IN an up to date young woman,
she has several that are decidedly
unique, for Miss Bessie can rope a steer
or ride bucking brOncho with the best
Of the cowboys. 1t was these accom-
plishments that won the unbounded
admiration of President Roosevelt and
which resulted in an invitation to the
White House. Finally, Miss Bessie is
said to be the original of Bessie Bran
der in Charles H. Hoyt's excruciating-
ly funny farce, "a Texas Steer"
Like President Roosevelt, Bessie Null
hall is fond of strenuous life She has
been reared upon a ranch, this most re-
markable young woman. She can shoot
with the skill of a frontiersman. She
can laSsO and tie a wild steer with the
dexterity of the most expert cOwman.
She has courage and steady nerve and
can brand a yearling without f1inching.
She rides astride and boldly. She does
not know the meaning of fear. She
loves the open air and the plains. Hers
has been a life out of doors, yet she is
cultured and we'll read. She plays clas-
steal music and is versed III social
graces.
And, above all, she has beauty of that
striking type which speaks for good
health. She is a brunette and of beauti-
full figure. Her age is not more than
twenty-One years.
She first met President Roosevelt at
the rough riders reunion in Oklaho-
ma City year ago. Her younger sis
ter, Lucille, was present on that Occa-
sion, and it was Lucille who gave an eX-
hibition of riding and of lassoing steers
that excited the admiration Of the colo
mel Of the rough riders. But Lucille is
no more expert than her sister Bessie.
It is related of Bessie that one day,
while riding on her fathers ranch with
Lucille, she started a brace of vicious
gray wolves. The young woman imme-
diately took up the chase. Bessie
swung her lassO, and it found the neck
of the larger of the two wolves. Wheel
ing her pony, she started for the ranch
house, dragging the wolf. Several miles
had been covered when the wolf freed
himself by gnawing the lariat in two.
Not daunted, Bessie made another
moose, and again she roped the wolf.
This time she drove him round and
round q tree, until Lobo had no more
tether, and then, having no revolver
with her, she loosed a stirrup and beat
the animal to death.
President Roosevelt, while a guest Of
her father, Zack Mulhall, during the
rough riders reunion, admired the
wolf pelt. Later the peIt was mounted
and today is within the Roosevelt home
at Oyster Bay.-Kdnsas City Journal.

ing and was buried on Friday after

Sunday, Nov. 24th.
The annual festival of the M. E.

in the church at 1870 p. N. followed
by basket social in the church par

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT
occurred here last Wednesday after
noon. Mrs. John Riley, who with her
husband and family have just returned
from Nebraska, went to the cellar OF
Jacob Riley's home, where they were
stopping, on an errand, when the
lamp she was carrying exploded and
set her clothing all aflame. There are
evidences that she did her best to eX-
tinguish the flames but failing she
rushed up stairs, by which time she
was completely enveloped in flames.
Finally she rushed out of doors and
lay down in the snow while Jacob
Riley threw snow upon her and ex-
tinguished the flames, but not until
she had been fatally burned. The
doctor was quickly called but from the
first there was no hopes of her recov-
cry, the trunk of the body being sever
ely burned and the flames having been
breathed into the lungs she suffered
indescribable agony until relieved by
anaesthetics. When conscious she re-
joiced greatly in her Saviour and in
the assurance that she would soon be
with him. She died at 10 O'Clock the
same evening, and was buried Friday
from the Centennial church, Rev. Geo.
Brown officiating. Her sadly bereaved
husband and family have the heartfelt
sympathy of the community. She was
a good women and will be greatly
missed.

The Empress Did Not Forget.

The Empress Eugene and Lord Rob-
erts are firm friends, the foundation Of
the Friendship being laid in one Of
those thoughtful little acts that make
the commander in chief so justly be-
loved. After the death of the prince
imperial Lord Roberts went himself to
the spot on which he fell and gathered
a tiny bunch of flowers, which he sent
to the sorrowing mother. When Lord
Roberts suffered a similar bereave-
ment himself last year, one Of the first
letters of coincidence he received came
from the empress, who insisted on
writing it with her own hand in spite
or the rheumatism that makes 1t SO
difficult for her to hold pen.

Mineral Point needs a new school
building. This is not fnformation;
but simple fact well known to the
readers of The Democrat. 1t is self
evident. For over thirty years the
city has improved materially in all
other respects; but has practically
stood still in the matter Of school
buildings. One proposition to bond
the city in the sum of 81, 900 for the
purchase of a site and the erection of
nigh school building was recently
voted down. Another proposition
which has been considerably dis
cussed, and which seems to have
many supporters among those who
consider a new school building a
pressing necessity, is to tear down
the "Seminary'' or brick building
and erect on it's site a new and better
appointed building, of sufficient cap
acity to accommodate the high school
and all the other schools of the
city not already provided for by the
stone school building in the fourth
ward. 1t is estimated that to carry
out this plan would require the ex-
penditure of about 100000 AS the
city is very nearly out of debt, this
amount could be secured in bonds,
payable in twenty years, at less than
4 per cent interest. 1t would be wise
to issue bonds for the necessary
amount and erect such a building as
would fairly meet the school needs of
the community; and it is reasonable
to suppose that the bonds could be
paid at maturi-y without great hard
ship to the tax payers of the city.
The Democrat submits that in our
financial history is to be found ample
warrant for this belief. BY going
back to May 3, 1880, we find in the
city clerks annual report this state
ment of municipal Indebtedness:
State loan of 49,. .....$ 1892 so
State loan of lS79........ $4,000 90
Seminary loan. 5OOO w
Judgment against the city. 5000 90
/ DUAL ...'...... ...-..... ptZJfG ~
Add to this amount the pulp mill
bonds of 1891, ($lO,OO0) and the cost
of water works, 1913 ,OOO) making a
grand total of $67, 942 so for obliga-
tions over and above the ordinary
running expenses of the city.
The city clerks report of April 16,
1901, shows city Indebtedness OF
81 900, which deducted from $67, 942. sc
leaves $50 ,942. so. The city has there.
fore paid on it's own account, over
and above ordinary expenses. in the
twenty-one year last passed, the sum
of 500, 942.50, besides paying a share
of the county's railroad bond indebt-
edness.
With this record for tax paying be-
hind them the people of Mineral Point
ought not to hesitate in the matter of
voting bonds for so laudable pur-
pose as the building of a good school
house.
