In the latter state especially, be-
cause of the increased vote resulting
from the recent acknowledgment of
women, is the situation such as has
never been faced before. Indications
this morning were the women would
take as active a part in the elections
as the men.

by both factions that the women
would deliver a heavy vote in favor OF
prohibition. Mrs. NJ. H.. Vansant.

Pocahontas as a wheat buyer. Two
weeks later he started homo on q
freight train. The bottom fell out Of the

wheat arrived at st. Louis. When he
got back to the farm he had just fifty

and started to learn the business. II
was while he was at Salida that he
obtained the material on which he
grew to be q pioneer writer of rail-
road stories. He became an engineer.
but plotting an engine did not have
the fascination he had expected. III
ness increased his dissatisfaction. He
went to Denver, where he published
the Western Railway Journal He
abandoned this and went to the boom

At this moment Of discouragement
he was cheered by the publication in

about the truth OF this story could
have been settled at the Santa Fe sta

He was travelling in greater state
than when he passed through Topeka
two weeks ago-riding brakebeam and
praying to the Great White Spirit for

today was, mo more cities. no more

and his own abode in the house at the
