THE ARMY OF
DESPAIR
BY FRED ISLER,
Teamster and Sec'y Hoboes' Union.
FIVE-CENT RESTAURANTS. -
Winter time, and especially hard
times, bring into being atrocities
known as scent restaurants. At this
time Chicago can boast Of several
and all seem to be doing a land-Ofice
business. Taking into consideration
the ever increasing cost of food prod
Ucts, it is nothing short of marvellous
to provide a full meal for a nickel and
make the enterprise pay.
Imagine for one minute the kind of
a meal one can get at that price. Yet,
it is a meal. Of course, some who are
naturally skeptical are inclined to call
it an apology Of a meal.
The menu is varied and if ones
astronomical taste runs along the
lines of the mysterious he can order
plate of hash made out of every
thing else but corn beef, or if he is
inclined toward hamburger steak
some kind of an imitation well pad
ded with bread crusts will be served
to him. Should his palate insist on
pork and beans the beans will be
forthcoming, but the pork is more
than likely to be missing. Bones la
boriously collected from butcher
shops form the main ingredient of |
the stew and if the meat is missing |
the taste remains. A few other "deli-
cacies" of a like nature are to be |
found on the bill of fare. Of course,
a liquid Of doubtful color, smelling
strongly of chicory, is included in the
order Dry bread, generously piled |

AT this time ii became the sole aim
of Uncle Richard Ellis TO make this
a railroad town. He began TO work
diligently 10 get a branch road es-
tablished. He succeeded in getting
enough donations. labor and snbscrip-
tions of cash TO grade the road, and
build a bridge across the river, for a
branch extending TO Kiddville During
1S7O-71 the road was completed and
the -. L. a. ~. began 10 operate a
freight train over the line.
ION November II, 1877 the lumber
mill burned The company then select
ed new site and built a steam mill
They then placed the old site on the
market.
"A little prior To this time the little
town received the name OF Bedding.
Along some time during the seventies

II. II. Handbook x company to locate
here. They were makers of school
and church furniture. The ID. l.. a.
n. people also granted III. III. Bedding
and G.. w. Ellis the right TO operate "A
a horse car between Bedding and Kidd
Vile.
Our first weekly paper, printed and
offered TO the public with no apology,
was the Bedding Home News. Rev r..
Nudge was the editor and l.. f. Ken
dali manager. Ii was i'm the form of
a four page pamphlet with a cover. II
was six by nine inches in size. In it's
makeup il resembled an almanac. This
little paper started off with a circula
ton of about six hundred Ii retained
it's number of subscribers and added
to the list. Ii also grew in size and
before a year had passed IL was a
volume of twelve pages.
Again going back To the subject of
our text we find ourselves still in the
world Of progression and as we come
along we meet with one of the great
inventions Of the age, viz: the automo-
bile. Among the first local citizens TO
purchase a machine was DR.. J. r..
Pinkham. AS time passed by
others made purchases / will not at
tempt to discuss the experiences these
early owners had with their cars. for
fear / would convict myslf, as | once
attempted To drive a car. You all
remember that in the early stages of
automobiles the curiosity o everyone
was such that when a man had trouble
with his machine every person within
hearing distance came To his assistance
and renamed until the 'critter' started.
Going back to our subject again
we find that about thirty years ago our
first silk mill was located. II was
started by the Richardson SILK Co.
Later on three others were located.
When the industry was started it en-
ployed about rs women and girls. Then
our city. like other cities where female
labor is en- .Jloyed was criticised as to
the standard of morality. l do not
believe however that the moral condi-
ton of this city can be compared un-
favorably with that OF a great many
other cities where fewer girls and
women are employed. Rather il is TO
be very fayorably compared.

House Bya Vote' X to IA
Refuse to Submit to States
Amendment Asked For.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The house
of representatives, by vote of 2O4 to
l74, refused tonight to submit to the
states an amendment to the federal
constitution to enfranchise women.
The vote, the second in the history
of congress on the woman suffrage is
sue, came at the close of a day of long
preparation oratory, during which the
many speakers were listened to with
frequent evidences of approval or dis
approval by packed galleries. The
question was before the house on the
Mondell resolution to submit a con.
stitutional amendment providing that
the right OF suffrage should not be
abridged because of SEX
A two-thirds affirmative vote was
necessary to pass the resolution; it
was defeated by a majority of thirty.
Party lines were not strictly drawn
in the fight, though Democratic Lead
er Underwood, voicing the attitude Of
his party that suffrage is state is
sue, strongly opposed the resolution,
while Republican Leader Mann was
one of the chief speakers for the suf-
fragists.
Enthusiasm was mingled with de-
jectiCn when Speaker Clark announced
the result, and into the corridors from
opposite galleries filed the hundreds
of suffragists, with their purple and
yellow sashes, and the red rose be-
decked anti-suffragists.
This was the second defeat for the
suffrage cause in the national legisla-
ture within year. March 10 last an
equal suffrage constitutional amend
ment, proposed by Senator Chamber
lain OF Oregon, received vote Of 80
to "a in the senate, securing Il bare
majority, but failing of the necessary
twO-thirds However, suffragist lead
ers were not dismayed tonight. AS
they left the galleries, led by DR. Anna
Howard Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait and other champions of the cause,
they declared that the fight was by
no means over and that the suffrage
propaganda would be pressed forward
and onward until every woman in
America should have the right to cast
a ballot
"The result was what we expected" ="
said Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president
of the national association opposed to
woman suffrage. ut means that the
suffrage movement fostered by hys-
terical women is on the wane.'
