Jefferson City, Mo.-Not q vote
was cast against the Kinney bill
reducing the school age limit from
6 to 5 years when the measure came
up for passage in the senate.
The bill is the same as the school
age limit amendment submitted to the
people at the November election, and
which suffered defeat along with the
single tax amendment.
Instead of a constitutional amend
men, Senator Kinney introduced a bill
covering the same point Of reducing
the time when a child may attend
school. This was done following an
opinion of E. M. Grossman, attorney
for the board of education, to the eff
feet that it can be done through a leg
islative act.
In addition to reducing the mini
mum school age from 6 to 5, the bill
remove the maximum age for which
public instruction can be provided.
The present law fixes this age al 20.
The bill is strongly supported by
prominent educators throughout the
state.

Mother Ct Ann RNt'eo3e

visit his people there and bring his parents back
with him. And then they would marry. So the
following spring he sold out his store and start
ed. The journey in that day was a long and slow
one, but 1t was months, far beyond the usual,
before they heard from him. He had been down,
he wrote, with chills and fever. He wrote again
a few times after, but at length cut short the
correspondence altogether.
1t was through Lincoln, as postmaster of the
little western village, that the girl received her
letters. An absent sweetheart and no letters
we can imagine her state of mind. 1t was not
long until every one knew it. The girl then con-
fded In friends a confession Of her lovers,
namely, that his true name was not Mcneil, but
McNamor; that he had come west to retrieve a
fortune lost by his father in business; and had
changed his name to be rid, for a time, Of his
people and thus be the freer to do so. When
this story was made public, as 1t speedily was,
the hard common sense of New Salem naturally
rejected 1t. There were reasons, good ones, pub
lie opinion said; criminal, perhaps-who knows?
some even limited. The girl was nigh heart
broken.
Meanwhile blossomed in the heart of Lincoln
sympathy first and then affection for her. 1t
was long, however, ere he revealed his feelings
to her, and longer still ere she would listen to
him. At length, however, convinced that Mcneil
was gone for good, she consented In 1885 to take
the Lincoln name. But first she was to go away
for a while and finish at an academy, during
which time he was to continue his law studies,
and when she had ended her course and he had
been admitted to the bar, the next spring, they
would be married. 81.
All very good; this plan was followed; but the
girl, 1t seems, though she loved Lincoln, could
not dismiss so easily remembrance of her old
lover. "a torturing conflict" we are told, "of
memory, love, conscience, doubt and morbidness
lay like a shadow across her happiness and
wore upon her until she fell seriously Ill. Event
ually her condition became hopeless. Lincoln
was sent for, they passed an hour Of anguish to-
gether, and soon after this deathbed parting.
August rs, 1885, she died.
Lincoln took It hard, That melancholy which
was of his fiber and which marked his face took
full possession Of him. He was found by a
friend, a certain Bowling Green, wandering about
muttering to himself, as II his mind had been
affected. Green took him to his home and kept
him there until once more he was himself. Ann
Rutledge was buried in Concord cemetery, near
New Salem. my heart is buried there" her sor-
rowing lover said after the funeral. Curiously
enough, Mcneil, or McNamor. did return to New
Salem soon after AIMS death. And his story

Women Win Suffrage FIGHT.

Jefferson City.-Missouri s~uffragists
we're swept off their feet with surprise
when the, senate and house committee
on constitutional amendments cut
short the arguments of the euqal suf-
frage advocates and voted to report
fsvorably the amendment submitting
the question to a vote.
The occasion was a public hearing
on the amendment. The women, into
whose ears rumors had leaked that
opposition would develop against their
move, came prepared for a battle. The
best speakers Of their ranks, rein
forced by men of note, stood by to
advance arguments for equal suf-
frage, when, without warning, Sena-
tor Francis M. Wilson moved that the
senate committee report the amend
ment favorably. 1t carried unani-
mously. The house committee fol-
lowed with but one against 1t, and the
meeting was over.

prys Win Test Vote.

Jefferson City.-The house voted
dry by a test of 70 to 81 on the county
unit bill. The test gives the drys abb
solute control of the house. as only ~
votes are required to pass any meas
ure. The 70 votes, however, are not
sufficient to pass an emergency
clause. for which IS votes are re-
quired.
The test came up on the first
amendment to the county unit bill,
which provides that all counties in
the state shall vote as a unit on local
option. Under the present law, a town
of $500 Inhabitants may vote sepa-
rately from the remainder Of the
county.
Orr of Livington led the wet forces
and Hay of Galloway, author of the
bill, the drys. Orr presented an
amendment to the effect that no local
option election could be held in a town
of $500 inhabitants until four years
after a previous election on the same
question.
Hay of Galloway county, the father
of the measure, house bill 10, moved
that the bill be e%ngrossed. Orr caused
the fight to start at the Offset in pre-.
senting the amendment providing that
elections cannot be held In a county
containing a city of $500 until four
years after the election at which the
town voted wet or dry.
Orr declared his position by saying
he would vote to efface liquor, but
that since 1t was manufactured and
could not be eradicated, he favored
strong regulation.
Col. Phelps offered an amendment
providing that the bill shall be re-
ferred to the people of the state for
their approval or rejection at the reg
ular general biennial election to be
held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, 1914; and
the secretary of state is directed to
place same upon the ballot in the
same manner as measures are sub
mitted to the people by the initiative
or referendum by petition"

Ticket scaIper Bill Killed.

The senate, by a vote OF 7 to Il,
defeated a bill by Senator White of

petitive prices.

from the members when two Jim

house of representatives. The second
bill offered was more stringent than
one introduced a few minutes before,
and it gained the greater applause.
The two bills apply to railroads and
interurban electric lines and provide
for separate coaches for whites and
blacks on trains and separate waiting
rooms in depots. The Jim Crow"
bills probably will be a big issue in the
legislature before adjournment is
taken. Leaders in the house and SEN
ate have been trying to suppress such

James Mcneil, a pros
porous young merchant
and farmer of the place,
had won her affections.
She was only II when
this occurred, and the
family council therefore
agreed that, for a time
at least, the marriage
could wait. This was
the state of affairs when
Lincoln came to the Rut-
ledge house to board.
McNeill had accumu-
lated $4,000 in New Sa-
lem and his prospects
were still bright; but in
1883 he began to display
a strong desire for a
change. He wanted to
go back east, he said,
to New York state, to
