Mrs. McQuOid Among Flood Victims.
The terrible condition of aIairs in and
about Kansas City, and particularly at
Argentine, Kan, during the last week,
gave rise to much anxiety among the many
friends of Mrs. Frances McQuoid, widow OF
the late Rev. John McQuoid, former pastor
Of the First Methodist Episcopal church
of this city, as to her safety and that Of
her two little children kilograms sent to
her on last Monday were never heard from
and finally a telegram was received here
by Mr.. r. w. Breckenridge from DR.. Geo.
Haley Of Kansas City, to the effect that
Mrs. McQuoid and children were safe, but
that they had lost everything. Later a let
ter was received from Mrs. McQuoid, writ
ten on Monday, June /. to Mr.. Brecken-
ridge, from which the following quotations
are made:
w are safe at my sisters. This Is
certainly the most terrible experience 1
have ever had. Everything is gone Water
two feet in the second story Of our build
ing. l am afraid 1t will float. We left
Saturday evening; could not save anything
but a few papers and clothes and a suit
case. People are kind to me; but, OH my
books and home are gone The books re-
ferred to are what Mrs. McQuoid kept Of
the library of her husband.
The sad circumstances of DR.. McQuoid's
death are still remembered by his many
friends in this community. 1t will not be
forgotten that so far as Mrs. McQuoid was
concerned, the burden laid upon her was
increased by the birth of a daughter but
al hour or two before DR.. McQuoid's death,
and she was left penniless to face the
world with two babies. Her courage in
facing the duties thus put upon her and her
desire to be independent, nave made many
friends for her who knew her only slightly
before her husbands death.
Soon after DR.. McQuoid died she en-
gagged in a small millinery business at Ar
gentine, Kan, and had succeeded in earn
ing a living for herself and children, when
this last catastrophe came upon her. She
lived in the building where she conducted
her business, and her stock and store are
a total loss. 1t is proposed that her friends
and the friends and admirers of her de-
ceased husband shall contribute to a purse
for her in this extremity. 1t is believed
that a considerable sum will willingly be
contributed in order to give this estimable
woman a start in life again.
Checks can be sent to Mr.. G. c. Belden
at the store of Thompson, Belden Co., or
to the editor of this paper.

A strong plea for the cooperation that

Gently issued open letter by the executive

Referring directly to the educational and
Industrial departments, it says: 80 kng
as children 6 years of age are employed in
mills and factories in any part of the
United States, and there is tina crying
need for uniform laws regarding child
labor; so long as women who live in noun

creation of general sentiment for national

Carroll d. Wright, United States Labor
commissioner, gives the following four rea-
sons why women workers receive smaller
pay than men. First, the woman comes
into the industrial system Of today as an
entirely new factor; second. she holds a
lower standard of industrial demands
caused to some extent by a lower standard
of life. both in physical and mental fea-
lures; third, insufficient equipment, due not
to incapacity but to the thought that per-
menancy of employment will be inter-
rupted by m~atrimony; also to the fact that
she lacks, so far, the influence that comes
from association and combination, and,
fourth, she is not a political factor in So
ciety.

The Chicago Woman's club has ever had
a reputation for doing unusual things and
its most recent project is to furnish PURE
milk to the poor of the city at cost. Thu
appalling mortality among children, caused
so largely from impure milk, has settled
the question with some of the women and
they have decided to waste no more effort
or time In trying to persuade, compel or
induce men to enforce the laws, hut will
go into the milk business themselves. They
propose to establish a bottling and s~teriliz-
Ing plant and then TO deliver the milk
about through the poorer quarters of the
city. They will also establish depots in
the tenement districts, where pure milk
may be procured at cost at any time. Elk
pensive as the plan may be. the women
declare they will see 1t successfully through,
and when 1t is thoroughly established will
call for public subscriptions to support 1t.
The appointment of agents to visit the
dairies and purchase milk only under the
cleanest conditions is another of the lnno-
vations of the enterprise.
