PRESIDENTS WIDOW
MRS. JONES WAS FIRST LADY,
OF TEXAS REPUBLIC.
Judge Who Performed Marriage cere-
mony in 1s4o Killed by Indians
Shortly After Near Austin
Her Adventurous Life.

Austin, Tex.-Mrs. Anson Jones,
who died the other day, was one of the
most historic women of Texas. She
vas the widow of DR.. Anson Jones,
Who was president of the Republic
of Texas during the period just previ-
GUS TO the annexation of the common
wealth to the United States. Mrs.
Jones. as first lady of the land, pre-
sided at many social functions which
were given at the capital Of the young
republic. In those early days foreign
ambassadors were located in Austin,
and. despite the activity Of the In
dians, who kept them in constant dread
OF being killed. these representatives
Of foreign governments managed to
have a very pleasant time.
The marriage OF DR.. and Mrs Jones
took place in Austin ia May, Is40. The
wedding trousseau was brought all the
way from Houston to Austin. q dis
tance Of 1876 miles. BY oxcart.
Judge James Smith, who married
DR.. and Mrs. Jones. was killed by In
dians while out riding near Austin a
short time after he had performed the
ceremony.
Mrs. Jones related many interesting
incidents that occurred IN the Texas
capital during the time that her hus-
band was president of the republic
She said that the foreign ambassadors
seldom travelled even q short distance
into the country out OF Austin without
being provided With q guard to pre-
vent attack by Indians On one oc-
casIon the French ambassador, NJ. De
SRligny. wanted to take a pleasure
ride a snort way beyond the outskirts

of town. He applied to President
Jones for an armed guard 70 accom-
pany him. The guard was not avail
able just at the time, and President
Jones informed the ambassador that
he was unable to comply with his re-
quest The Frsnchman became mad
dened and excited when his request
met with refusal. Mrs. Jones said. He
exclaimed as he left the presidents
presence in a hun:
Il hope a d Indian will kill me,
Then see what France will do"
The ambassador went on his ride
alone and returned safely.
DIR. Jones, the last president of the
Texas republic, was a native Of Massa-
chusetts. He came to Texas in 1888.
before the new republic was born, and
located at Brazoria. He soon became
prominent in the political arTairs OF
the country after independence from
Mexico was gained. He was a member
OF the Texas congress in 1888, and
that same year he was appointed min
lister TO the United States from Texas
He represented this republic at Wash
ington for two years and returned to
his home to I'LL the office of senator.
to which he had been elected.
The seat of government was moved
from Austin to Washington. Tex. in
1912, while DR.. Jones was president
He named the executive mansion at
UVashfnufnD narrsrgtn1 - ho,,1~ -
Great harrington. Mass. the place OF
his nativity.
DR. Jones died in 1858. His widow
lived for some time in Galveston. and
in 1879 she moved to Houston. where
she has since resided.
The early life OF this remarkable
woman, before her marriage to DIR.
Jones, was full OF adventure and ex-
element. She was born in Lawrence
county, Arkansas. and was the eldest
child of John C. and Sarah Smith. Her
father died in 1927. In 1888 she &C
companied her mother on an overland
trip from Arkansas to Texas, and when
they reached Brazoria county they
Joined Austfn's colony. When word
reached them that Gen. Santa Anna
and his Mexican army were advancing
upon the colony they made hurried
flight with other settlers to the east
ern part OF Fe~as. When they learned
that Gen Sam HOuston's forces were
victorious at the battle of San Jacinto
the mother and daughter returned to
sh.-sr howe which had been made DESC

The beginning of the Spanish wal
found Pillsbury a lieutenant com

toward high explosives he was placed
in command of the dynamite cruiser

ardous service. That little boat was
then an unknown quantity in nava'

was vacated by the resignation of
Rear Admiral Willard II. Brownson,
has been filled by the appointment
TO that office of Capt John Elliott
PillSbury, at present on duty in this
city as a member of the general board
Of the navy, and also as a member of
the army and navy joint board. Capt
Pillsbury notified the president that
although he did not seek the ONCE he
appreciated the honor implied In his
selection and would perform its du
ties TO the best Of his ability.
The selection of Capt Pillsbury to
be chief OF the bureau OF navigation
is at best only a temporary measure
OF relief for the friction between the
line and stan which is now distressing
the navy. Capt Pillsbury Is, per
haps, more acceptable than any other
line officer land the vacancy in this
case must be filled from the line un
der the terms OF the law with the
officers of the stan, though he is by no
means lacking in popularity with his
brethren OF the line. Yet he can ex-
ercise his good Offices as a pacifier for
comparatively short time only, un
less the president should decide to
again have recourse to the doubtful
expedient OF commissioning a retired
officer as chief OF a bureau. For

MAY RETURN TO USE OF OXEN.
Lumbermen in Northern Wisconsin
Believe Them More Servlceable.

milwaukee.-The determination OF
the lumbermen to return to the
employment OF oxen in the woods OF
northern Wisconsin and Minnesota
will recall the days OF the pioneer Of
10 and SO years ago. when horses In
the woods were curiosity or luxury.
Horses succeeded oxen for the rea-
son that they make quicker time in
hauling over long roads, and for the
reason that feed became more plenti-
-tui as the country became settled ty
homesteaders. 1t was when feed was
impossible to obtain that cattle were
employed, for they were generally able
to forage with the deer through sum.
msr and winter months. Those were
The Washington bee., 1908-02-01

the days OF the dense pine forests
when feed Rss iss.sI.tiI-i and the eli
matte changes were not so sudden as
a present, but the present day has its
advantages, though the winters are
more severe. Feed for the oxen may
be had at any railroad station or of
almost any farmer or homesteader.
Oxen require less feed than horses,
and here is the first stroke OF econ
Omy, though not large one. They are
sure OF foot and will haul as large a
load as horses. In skidding logs they
are said to be much preferable to
horses. and. unlike horses, they may
be slaughtered aud served to the lum-
berjacks when they have served their
purpose. In some of the northern
counties oxen are being employed by
the new settlers for the cultivation Of
the farm. They move along slowly.
IL is true, but they accomplish the
work of clearing the land and bring
ing il to a state of cultivation. The
only drawback to this new movement
Is the lack OF trainers and drivers. The
exen men OF the last generation have
or are passing away, and il will be
dificult TO get men who will conde-
scend to desert the horse for the OK.
