4 Strong Denial.


NSENNses W A'-'''(
Fredonia, KY, March 3l.-In the
Louisville Post, of March %, was q
letter supposed to be written at FREE
donia, KY, saying that Law and
Order League had been formed here
and that the town was being guarded
by armed men and etc, and that
any attempt of the night riders or
association men to pass this way
would result in a fierce battle.
Now we wish to state that We are
unable to find any one that knows
anything about any Law and Order
League being 10 this town.
After seeing the publication in the
Post, the majority Of the most prom
inent citizens talked the matter over,
and two or more letters were written
to the Post, asking it to correct the
statement it had made.
We are all peaceable and quiet and
are not expecting the might riders"
for they have no grievance here as all
the tobacco here and in the surround
ing country Is being handled through
the association by competent and re-
liable men.

James for Temporary Chairman.

Louisville. Ky, March %. In
connection with the proposal that
a Southern Democrat be chosen for
temporary chairman Of the Denver
convention, II Is learned that the
name Of Representative Ollie VI.
James, Of the First Kentucky dis
tric,, is being mentioned prominent
ly and many Of his friends are known
to lie very earnestly for him. W. j,
Bryan's closest friends declare that
he has said that the South was en-.
titled to such recognition.
James is known to be Bryan $
closest friend in Congress and is
splendidly equipped to preside over
the convention.
The election OF the temporary
Chairman will be left to the sub.
committee of the National Committee
which is now arranging for the Den
yer convention. Both Chairman
Tscgart and Secretary Woodson are
members Of this committee and both
are known to be close friends Of the
Kentuckian. The other members Of
the committee also feel very kindly
toward James, while 1t is not known
what the attitude Of the Congress
man will be in the matter. Secre-
tary Woodson has confirmed the re-
port that numerous Southern Demo
Gratis have suggested his name for
the place.

MACKAY CLUB.

The monthly club meet took place
at the home of Mrs. Boxwell, April
gath. There was an interesting pro-
gram and very appetizing dinner.
Two. new members were voted in
to our circle. All were disappoint-
ed at the non appearance of Mrs.
Butterfield. But her pleasing pres
ence and talk on the 9th made
amends. All the, club women who
could do so met her at the train.
She was escorted to the home of Mrs.
j. HI. Greene where regular meet
ing of the club was held. We were
indeed pleased to have her with us
and we feel encouraged in our work,
that we were meeting the approval of
our state president and thus inspired
to greater effort in the future.

dent; Mrs. H. N. Coffin, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Bradley Sheppard, record

marked by quiet dignity and care
full interest that spoke well for the
future of the club year. A vote of
thanks was rendered the outgoing Of
ficers, and the presidents annual re-
port ordered spread on the minutes.
In this report, which was really a
beautiful address, Mrs. McCalla
showed how warmly she had the
well-being of the club at heart; and
how closely she had followed the line
of work of each department. In the
kindest of terms, she alluded to the
efforts of each officer and chairman,
extolling their united endeavor to
make their club stand for all that is
best in club life.
The reports from standing commit
tees was most encouraging, every de-
partment showing strong, healthful
progress.
The list of new members was learn

The Pioneer w. G. T. U. and Club
Woman of Idaho.

The subject of this sketch is wor-
thy of more mention than we are
able to give, because unfamiliar with
her life in any of its interesting de-
tails. We have called to see her sew
eral times at her home, but unfort-
unately, she has been too feeble at
those times to talk much. She is,
however, very dear to the women of
idaho who are interested in lettering
it's conditions, developing it's econ
omic resources, educating the coming
generations and removing from their
midst unhealthy immoral surround
ings. She was born in Macoupin coun-
ty, ILL.,, Jan. %, 1884, in the midst of
big snow storm that caused much
inconvenience when such important
matters as the arrival of new baby
took place in the country in those
days. Her life in childhood and early
girlhood proved uneventful so far as
our knowledge extends When she
became grown she taught school in
her native state, and was an earnest
worker in the Baptist Sunday school.
She came to Idaho in 1882, with lit
tie thought of becoming the only
woman in the world who was Sc
lected to serve as chaplain in state
senate chamber She was a charter
member of the w. C. T. u, organ
lied at that time at Idaho Falls.
There were fifteen charter members
among whom were Mis-, Sarah Smith,
Mrs. T. M. Stewart and Mrs. Mad
den of Pocatello. Mrs. Mitchell
could not recall the others at the
time. She became state organizer of
the w. c. T. U. in 1898 and held this
useful field of work for five years.
This involved much hard stage travel
and exposure to extreme cold and
hard winds.
Among her stage journeys were
Salmon, 10 miles, Malad, 40 and
from Lewiston to Grangeville, rs
miles. She was chaplain of the house
of representatives two years, from
1897 to 1899 The only woman In
the world occupying a like position.
When the news reached foreign
shores, she was written to by many
prominent people, some offering con-
gratulations, others from a desire to
know by letter the woman who dared
pray publicly for state and it's SER
wants. She has written an historical
sketch of the parts of Idaho with
which she is familiar, that is of con-
siderable value. She is still strong
believer in the part club women are
taking in Idaho affairs. She always
has message of inspiration, encour-
agement and cheer, but is often too
feeble to make response We were
unable to secure late photograph
but many of our readers will remem-
Der her as she appeared when the one
at the head of this article was taken.
Mrs. Mitchell lives in her own
home at Idaho Falls, and is tender
ly cared for by her faithful daughter
in-law. We have never known Mrs.
Mitchell in health but two business
men happened in our Office just now
who replied to our question, Tell
me your Impression of Mrs. Rebecca
Mitchell in her younger days?" "She
had good eye," and "She enjoyed
her work thoroughly, and worked to /
win"

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

This department (the infant child
of the Federation) has been growing
wonderfully during the past three
months. We have been centering
our forces along the line of educa-
tiona1 work; have successfully intro
duced our literature into the gram
mar grade and High schools, and
here in Miami, we have an enthusiast
tic lady, principal of the High school,
who lectures to a union assembly of
the students on good and
is awakening an interest far beyond
our expectations. A ready response
has come to us from. all over the
state, proving that cooperation Is
the keynote of success III our FEEDER

and Massachusetts Civil Reform as

mission Gu. 81 at Washington. We
have been watching the Census
Bill" that is direct attack upon the
Civil Service Law, and have the as
surance of our senators and con-
gressmen that they will look after it.
We are going to ask the clubs of our
state to send in shower of postals
to our senators, protesting against
the passage of the bill as it now
stands; asking that the appointment
of the "a thousand men for the TAX

At this time the loudest call came
along educational lines, so we are

IDAHO FALLS.

We were pleased to see Mrs. Geo.
Gagon, president of the v. l. S. of
Blackfoot, in Idaho Falls this last
week.
Mrs. Reesor visited the clubs Of
st. Anthony last week in the interest
of Federation work, and reports a
delightful visit. She gave the Study
club an earnest invitation to join the
Federation and many of the ladies
are favorable to accepting. 1t Is
hoped that in the near future they
will be one of us. Mrs. Reesor en-
joyed visit to the industrial school
where she was very courteously re-
ceived.
Mrs. c. G. Bowerman had Mrs. Rec
sor as her guest during her stay In
st. Anthony and all combined to
make her visit one of pleasure as
well as of mutual profit.

Mrs. J. H. Reesor, president of the
First District Federation passed
through Blackfoot Tuesday morning
on her way to Boise as delegate to
the state Sunday school convention
converting at that place this week.
Echoes went over to the train to
shake hands and talk minute or two
about our Biennial exhibit. Mrs.
Reesor says we must make the next
numbers of Echoes very interesting
for this purpose, and we agree with
her.

We told about our trip to Boise
last week, but we missed something
that afforded much satisfaction. At
the Columbian club exercises. we
heard some musical numbers, beau
tifully rendered, one deserving spe-
cial mention was piano duet by two
blind girls who are inmates of the
institution for the blind and deaf
mutes at Boise, proving beyond a
doubt the careful training they are
receiving.

The club women of Idaho are re-

The Boston bureau of information,
writes that suitable space will be
provided, and urges us to respond to
this request in the interest of our

file of Echoes would be of interest,
but our supply of back numbers
does not include each issue. We
are short the following: Nov. 20,
which was the first issue after becom-
ing the district organ. We surely
want this one. The others wanted
are: Dec. 6, 10, 81, Jan. 3, March
20, and April g.
Our intention is to bind them
neatly, send them to Boston by Mrs.
Standrod, and when they are return
ed to us, send them on to the his
torical rooms at Boise, where they
will be preserved for all time. We
know you will like the plan, so kind

kept. If more than one of each
comes, we will keep them safely and

Just word about the size of year
books. If you are interested in pre-
serving them for future use, and per-
haps have several now on hand, the
inconvenience In handling them be-
cause of difference in sizes has an

different sizes throughout the state.
Have one size about five by eight
inches for the state, districts and lar
ger clubs If they wish, the smaller
one four by six inches, or any size
that might be adopted. The year
book Is ofen made Ornamental in de-
sign and odd in size, to suit the fan
cy. We like pretty things too, but
club work is business proposition
these days and should be considered
such. For this reason 1t would be
much more business-like and con-
venient to have certain size adopt
ed as authentic. We are assured the
local clubs would readily respond to
a request of this kind The matter
will probably be brought up at the
state meet this fall

sales, entertainments and sales of the
Civic club cookbook, over $500 has
been raised this year for the support

fifty books obtained at book social.
The club has, in all, about fifteen
hundred books to turn over to the
Carnegie library, when it shall be

hibit we also purchased several fine
pictures which will grace the library
walls, and this next year, among 9TH
err plans, we expect to buy a high
grade piano for the club room in the
library.
new departure for us will be a
program and year book presenting
thorough study of the subject of
civics. We expect this to both at
tract large attendance at our meet
ings, and to make us more efficient
workers for the advancement of our
home town.
