Chairman E. F. Stanley of the To-

his effective corps of assistants and
State uperintendent Fairchild and his
office force all united to do their best
to make it easy for the teachers to Sc
cure proper accommodations and to
find their way about the city. In in

teachers visited Washburn college, the

exclusive of a few thousand cars
received from other lines, which
were moved over the company's

Of a good, healthy condition of

A wedding dress skirt that is
now ITO years old is on display in
the window of the Eversole dry
goods store by Mrs, Frank G.
Shoemaker. The dress was worn
by Mrs. Shoemaker's grandmoth-
er, whose maiden name was Je-
NINA Wykoff OF New York, who
was the great-aunt Of Mrs. Hor-
ace F. Leet of this city. Jemima
Wykoff spun and wove the beau.
tiful white material of her we'd
ding gown and embroidered it.
1t is a full round skirt of four
widths. The deep embroidery
seems to be the pattern of an
acorn, and is so finely done that
not thread Of it can be detected
on the under side. Jemima Wy.
koh was married to John OaHara,
q descendant of General O'Hara,
who was detailed by Lord Corn
wallis to deliver his sword to Gen.
eral Washington on his surrender
to the American army. Lord
CORVALLIS was too deeply stung,
it is said by historians, to do the
job himself. Four men Of the
O'Hara family married four wo.
men of the Wykoff family. Je-
NINA O'Hara died twenty years
ago at the age of 30 years.

Mountain is installing the Fresnal
Signal Lamp on the rear end Of
it's trains. This is the same light
used aboard ships and on steam-
boats, 1T is long, narrow belt
of lighs and gives spread Of IL
Elimination Of 45 degrees. The
ordinary signal lamp used on the
rear end Of trains Is the small
bullseys, and while the light is
bright, it has no spread, throwing
out only a thin line of illumina-
ton directly back Of the train,
The big advantage Of the wide
spread OF light that the Fresnel
lens gives is that in rounding a
curve it spreads its rays in all
directions over the land, so that
trains on the other turn Of the
curve can plainly see it, whereas
they cannot observe the light of
the ordinary train signal lamp.
This fact gives the Fresnel lens
great advantage in the line of
safety. The problem of getting
light that would carry around
curves is one on which the rail-
roads have been working for
years, because it means so much
TO them from the standpoint of
safety. The Fresnel lens has
been worked on by numerous rail-
roads, but there were mechanical
problems connected with it they
were unable to overcome. Mr..
B. H. Mann, chief signal engi-
neer of the Missouri Pacific Iron
Mountain, has been working for
|
over a year to overcome these
defects and has finally succeeded
in perfecting the lamp SO that it
can be used on railroad trains,
Service tests have been made re-
Gently on the Hot Springs Special
and on both of the through fast
trains to Texas. These tests have
been most satisfactory, and ar
rangements are now being made
to have the Fresnel lens signal
lamp to take the place Of all other
signal lamps on all trains of the
system. The Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain is the first road to
perfect and adopt these lamps. II
will only be a question Of time
until all other railroads will fol-
low its example.
! The freight movement on the
Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain
has shown Q most decided in.
crease lately. The largest move
ment in the history of these line'
occurred Fridey, October 9th
when 1s,309 loaded cars wers
handled. On that day there wer'
only five cars on the entire $500
miles of track OF the system whicl
bad been standing over twenty
four hours without movement
The following day. Saturday, %
teber sth, the movement was al
most as great as on Friday, Their
i itbsing 13,049 loaded cars handled

The voters of Gentry county

November 9th. A petition signed

that the question be submitted.
The law requires a petition for
this purpose to contain at least a

was secured, and the court mad
no choice in the matter.
