THIRTEEN DAYS ON ROAD.

Mrs. j. A. Fausch, her brother, Cur
It's Crist, and wife, arrived last even
ing from their home in McAlester,
Okla, after being thirteen days on
the road.
Mrs. Fausch said that their party
was held up for four days and five
nights in Belleville, Kas., where they
were blockaded by snow, being unable
to get in either direction. During thai
time the passengers ate up everything
on the train, which was fitted up with
a diner, and also used up all the meat
in the town. Belleville merchants had
to make trips on sleds out Of town 10
the cattle ranches and bring in ex
ira supplies of meat in that way. On
account of the severity Of the storm
which ragged for most of the four days
this was not an easy task.
The two days which the party spent
at Alamosa on account of the block
ade on Cumbres seemed a small mat
ter compared with the BelIeville ex-
perience. The trip from Denver 10
Durango Mrs. Fausch said was quite
novelty after the broad stretches
of prairie country. But after so long
time, it would be pleasant to reach
the journeys end. This morning the
party departed for Pennington where
they will visit their father, j. W. Crist,
for few weeks. In case conditions
are favorable they may decide to re-
main permanently.

ST. LOUIS, March 23.-With the
Mississippi river already deluging the
lowlands below, and with water above
the flood stage in that city, comes the
prediction that the river will be over
the levee and railroad tracks by Mon
day. River men are taking every pre-
caution to provide against the flood
conditions which they expect will pre-
vail along the water front within a
week. The river had passed the twen-
ty-three foot mark late last night and
was rising rapidly is morning. A
large force of laborers started to NOV
ing the contents of levee warehouses
after daybreak.
The weather bureau predicts the
river will reach twenty eight foot
stage by Monday. This condition is
such marked contrast with the ex-
ceptionally low stage of the river
which prevailed all winter that the
difficulties of keeping river craft and
levee front property safe, is tremen-
dous.

Washington is practically suspended
by executive order all of today. Presi-

the cabinet, the highest officers of
the army and navy and the marine
corps, officials of the departments and
representatives of many foreign pow
ers, participated in the exercises. Over
the government buildings flags are at
half mast and congress adjourned for
the day. The booming of minute guns
and the tramp of soldiery added a
touch of military pomp and circum-
stances.
The escort for the slow march
through the streets of the capital from
the Birmingham to the navy buildings,
were picked from the Birmingham and
other vessels now in Washington. The
speakers who greeted the crowd in the
plaza of the navy building were only
three-President Taft, Father Child
wick, chaplain of the Maine when the
explosion of Feb. Is, 1898, sent her
to the bottom, and chaplain Bayard,
| u. S. N. The Marine band gave SOL
emn music for the dead, the army bat
terry fired the twenty-one gun salute
as the ceremonies at the navy build
ing ended and the quiet march to Ar
lington began.

whom the reservations had been made
Just behind President Taft, on the
steps of the big granite building, was

commanded the Maine at the time of
the explosion.

As before stated, change of venue
is likely to be asked for because the
case has been given so much publicity
in Jefferson county, through two cor
oner's inquests and preliminary
hearing, and the alleged confessions.
Attorneys for Mrs. Hunning and
Seidel emphatically deny the reports
that they intend to enter pleas of
guilty for their clients. Nevertheless,
the opinion prevails in jefferson coun-
ty that, failing to obtain charge of

will endeavor to make the best terms

Our meeting with Mrs. Coffman was
full of plans for the campaign which is
now on. Mrs. Cook gave us splendid
paper on the Power of the Individual"
in which she said that our influence was
personal and could be used for good or
bad, and to be a worker in any cause re-
quired an ardent desire to accomplish
something and we must make the effort
to accomplish the purpose. She defined
the letter H as being the most powerful
letter in the alphabet, and gave the three
most powerful words beginning with h
hateful, hurtful and hesitate. We all un-
derstand the meaning of these three
words, but we have three words in the
Holy Writ that counteracts them-faith,
hope and charity-and we should try to
possess these cardinal virtues. OF these
three, hope stands out as beacon light,
for without hope the heart must die. and
our hearts are filed with hope that the
White Ribbon will enoircle the. globe
some glad day The white ribboners are
hoping to put that hateful. hurtful, harm
ful liquor traffic out of the way forever
