Elected Mayor Of city IN State

du00oWell, kan.-MrS. Ella Wilson,
the newly elected mayor Of this city.
for the first time since her election
consented to explain her plans for
cleaning up the municipal govern.
mAnt which IN her preseisction
speeches she declared to be full Of
graft and Godlessness.'''
Mrs. Wilson's first announcement
was that she would appoint Mrs.
Rosie e. Osbourne, defeated candidate
for police Judge. to be superintendent
Of police. while Mrs. e. e. Hilten
who ran for town councillor and failed
will be appointed city clerk.
While Mrs. Wilson did not specific
ally admit it. the declaration is made
that under compromise plan male
officers will be elected from the high
er municipal Offices entirely and that
for two years at least Hunnewell will
be completely under a woman's ad
ministration.
There is no doubt of the radical in
tentions Of the women. Mrs. Wilson
has declared that the Occasional
liquor tramc Will at once be stopped
and bootleggers will be sent to Jail
Poolrooms must pay license and all
grating is to be abolished.
Mrs. Wilson has jumped into world
wide fame in day because she is the
second woman mayor ever elected in
the United States and the first woman
ever given a chance to rule city
surrounded with women officials to do
her bidding. The first woman mayor
In this country was Mrs. s. M. Salter
who was elected mayor Of Argonia

of Mrs. Wilson since her election. In

his own doom was sealed.
He came in, followed by four men.
One Of them was MacDougall, the

"This will be better job than the

Neil laughed.
Hear that, Nat?" he asked. loud
enough for all in the cell to hear.
sMacDougall says this will be better
Job than the whipping. He remem-
bers how I thrashed him once when
he said something to Marion one day."
Neil was as cool as though acting
his part in play. His face was
flushed, his eyes cleaned fearlessly

the courage Of this man, from under
whose feet had been swept all hope Of
life, felt twinge Of shame at his

groan, blood squirting from his mouth

the four rifles leveled at his breast.

work."

A low, quick whisper fell in his ear.
Don't give up hope! Marion

The sheriff jerked himself erect
without finishing. Hurried footsteps
had come close to their heels. The
rear guards were so near that they
could have touched them with their
guns. Had some spot Of lesser gloom
ahead betrayed the prisoners bowed
head and Jeekum's white face turned
to it? There was steady pressure
on Nathanieps arm now, a warning,
frightened pressure. and the hand that
made 1t trembled. Jeekum feared the
worst-but his fear was not greater
than the chill Of disappointment that
came to smother the excited beating
Of Nathaniel's heart. What had the
taller meant to say? What did he
know about Marion and Winnsome,
and why had he given birth to new
hope in the same breath that he men.
