Journey From Missouri to Montana in 1880 Was
Great Adventure According to Mrs. Mary Myers

by N6ftS. MANI e. (0CO. WI EAsS
The eventful day, July Fl, 1880, had
come when I was to start on my great
adventure. I was going north to join
my husband in Montana territory.
The year before he had gone west
and Just recently had written to me
to come to Miles City, the town that
was to be my home for owe half a
century.
Two carriage loads of brothers, sisters
and cousins waited with me in the St.
Francis station in st. Joe for the train
that was to take me to Yankton, S. D.,
on the first stage of my journey. A
gay, young crowd we were, dressed in
the Victorian styles of the "80's" The
girls wore tightly fitted 'basques" and
pretty light colored straw bonnets. AS
I was travelling I wore a thin brown
wool with the skirt intricately draped
and a small brown straw bonnet, a tail
ored linen dust cloak.
All the young men Of that day wore
small round boards, or long sideburns.
The train whistled in and amid a
chorus of goodbyes and good wishes,
brother Ben gave me last instructions:
Here's your ticket, here's your money
and here's your baby! Take good care
of all three. If you need more money,
just telegraph George"
He placed me on the hard red velvet
cushions in the sleeper and so with my
baby in my arms, the mysterious ticket
and fat rolls of bills dropped casually
into my buster pocket, the train rat
tied out of the station and the bright
July day closed around me. A mist
rose before my eyes. I felt a bit alone.
On both sides of the railway were
dusty yellow corn fields, orchards bend
ing under apples, red and yellow, there
were rounded hills covered with oaks,
clear streams and comfortable farms.
The passenger trains were quite prim-
tive compared to the marvellous air
conditioned and joltless coaches of to-
day. They were dingy noisy, dusty,
without vestibules and apparently with
out springs, but as I remember, we
considered them modern and efficient
and the dining car service was splendid
ven then.
Sometime the next evening I arrived
in Yankton, where I was to take the
boat up the Missouri. It was even
then tied at the pier, the famous Far
VSSC, CIldI 1Ou years pe1OTe IldO
brought back the sad news of the Bat
tie of the Little Big Horn.
The next morning I boarded the boat
with lively anticipations of an inter-
esting voyage. Although I had often
seen the palatial steamers that then
piled the Mississippi, I'd never Travelled
on one. This wa a smaller boat but
fresh and clean with white paint and
shining brass railing. The tiny cabins
had soft red velvet carpets and COM
Portable berths with beautiful Calfor-
mia blankets.
Among the passengers was the own
er, Commodore Sam Coulson, his wife
and baby, his sister, Miss Coulson and
two nieces and q nephew, all on a vaca-
ton trip to, Fort Benton. We became
a most congenial crowd. Every day we
spent hours on deck, we young women
pretending to embroider or crochet
while Mrs. Coulson read Dickens !"Our
Mutual Friend" aloud, or we just talk
ed. At four we had tea, then a rest be-

STATE

A love story, replete with drama,
action and passion yet entirely free
from the morbidity of the average
hospital picture, a rapidly moving,
suEerbly enacted silver screen ro-
nance is Registered Nurse" which
heads the program at Warmers
State starting today. 1t has become
ono of the most widely discussed
pictures of the year and one will
know when they have viewed it.
The story, which was written by
Florence Johns and Wilton Lack
aye, Jr., centers around the beau
tiful trained nurse wife of
drunken wastred, whose love is
sought by two sta surgeons; the
action. however, reveals q number
of other romances, giving the audi
ence glimpse into the intimate
lives of the members of great
metropolitan hospital
Bebe Daniels, still youthful de-
spite here long career in the
movies, which incidentally she en-
tered at the age of twelve, and
more beautiful than ever in
nurses costume, again shows the
talent that made her the first out
standing star of the silent films to
score a personaf hit in talking
pictures.
Miss Daniels is ably supported
by two leading men, Lyle Talbot,
in the role of the villain, and John
Halliday. as the hero.
Talbot, as ever, is the suave
polished man-of- the-world, who by
fiattery and deception ingratiates
himself into the affections of too
trustful woman.
John Halliday, as the chief of
the hospital staff of surgeons, and
Talbots rival for the pretty
nurse, gives an exceptional per-

The companion feature is Keep

Briefly, "All of Me" is a double
barrcled love drama, the two great
devotions of which depend upon
one another. But so skillfully are
the two affairs intermingled that
the spectator never suspects the
directors purpose until the closing
chapter. In addition to the ex-
pert handling of the theme, there
is an abundance of thrilling action

Wesleyan President
Raps State Hospital
James L. McCOnaughy Says Middetown Buildings Are
Firetraps Without Adequate Sunlight and Facilities

Speaking last evening at the an
nual banquet of the Wethersfield
Business Mems and Civic Associa-
ton, President James L. McCon-
aughty of Wesleyan University
compared the principles Of the
Connecticut pioneers with present
practices in Washington. He eulo-
gized the convictions of the pio-
neers, who had faith in democracy
in the face of graver problems
than ours today. They condemned
any form of dictatorship, whether
In England or in Washington. They
believed in individual rights and,
said the speaker, would have OPP
posed any codes to control their
businesses and individual lives.
They believed in education and
were willing to make sacrifices for
the support of the schools. They
also held that society must cate
adequately for the unfortunate,
and keep the delinquents from
harming society.
President McConaughty ex-
pressed his regret at Connecticut's
present niggardly policy toward the
children and adults whom society
must care for in institutions. PAY
as you go" Is fine policy, said the
speaker: so, doubtless is using all
the automobile license money for
roads, but when Connecticut re-
fuses, because of legislative short
sightedness, to provide adequate
care for its mental detectives, the
public should know and should
hold some one responsible.
II am not criticizing any indi-
vidual-certainly not the governor,
who knows these needs ana wishes
them met, nor the state board of
finance, men of unusually high
minded devotion to the states well
fare. The whole group of men
elected to represent us at Hartford
last year are responsible, l be-
lieve, for a condition that Connec-
ticut citizens should face. Certain
children are SO deficient, mentally
and emotionally, that they are a
liability to other hildren and to
society. Nine hundred such have
for years been on the waiting list
for our state institutions, but they
are full; at least four hundred are
acute cases. One such child last

Sensible Way
To Lose Fat

Start taking Kruschen Salts to-

to reduce.
This is what they do-they clean
out the impurities in your blood by
keeping the bowels, kidneys and
liver in splendid working shape
and fill you with a vigor and tire
less energy you'd most forgotten
had existed.
AS a result instead of planting
yourself in an easy chair every
free moment and letting fiabby fat
accumulate you feel an urge for
activity that keeps you moving
around doing the things you've al
ways wanted to do and needed to
do to keep you in good condition.
Be careful of the foods you eat
then watch the pounds slide off!
kruschen Salts are the up-to-
date Fountain of Youth. Take one
half teaspoonful in glass of hot
or cold water tomorrow morning
and every morning-and If they

The first half of 1884 has passed

CO.. Operative association of South ST..
Paul.
AS the second half of the current
year started the average fat cattle
market stood So per hundredweight
above a year ago. Hogs averaged
40 cents above a year ago and fat
lambs averaged $1.6O above a year

During the first six months OF 1884
cattle receipts at 20 leading markets
of the United States were 5,235 900
head or 921, 900 more than during the
same period last year. Hog receipts

ESCAPES FROM JAIL
AT WORTHINCTON
Chicken Thief Gets Away by
Breaking Lock on Fire
Escape Door

Joe Fischer, 23-year-old farm hand,
held in Jail at Worthington on a
charge of stealing chickens, escaped
shortly after 6 p. m. Wednesday of
last week by breaking the paddock on
the barred door to the fire escape.
Shortly afterwards other prisoners
called sheriff Eldon Rowe and told
him of the Jail break. A search was
started Immediately but there were
no traces.
Several other men in the past ten
years have broken out of the Jail in
much the same manner, despite the
fact that the paddock on the fire
escape has been the best manufact-
ured by prominent lock concern.
However, every one has been recap
tured and received heavier sentence
because of the break.
Sheriff Rowe has no do lbt over the
return of Fischer. Experienced GRIM
minals have broken out and have
been returned sometimes as much
as two years later, and the latest Jail
breaker is believed to be far less cap
able of hiding than they.
