being by accident or suicide. In the

little girls were drowned and their
bodies never recovered. "Within
twenty rods from where Mr. Ross met
his untimely death three children be
longing to one McGune were locked in
a house, and the same old story told
so often here occured. The house was
accidently fired and the babies irret
their doom. This was during the
summer of IS85 also. A crank of a
doctor, one Vezie by name, attempted
suicide on that very spoj, and after

the nam« of Porter was killed by
lightning in 188G while driving along
the road in 1887 Miss Belle Yates, a
young school teacher, while going to
her school but a short distance away
was thrown from her horse, dragged
by the foot for some distance, and the
body horribly mutilated. In 1889 an
old German who was herding cattle
tied a picket rope aborct his waist,

from Nebraska.
DEPOT ALBION, NEB.
The varied exper
iences, of the past two weeks, so
much like the shifting scenes of a
panorama, are beyend descriptive pow
ers of my pencil. Hundreds of faces
passing before me with a henrty "God
bles3 you" accompanying the hand
pressure, and true hearts looking their
response through eyes that are anx
iously seeking away out of the laby
rinths of sin, incourage me as I wear
ily tramp on. At North Loup found
one church that really tries to help
God answer their own prayers on the
saloon question. The seven day Bap
tist, with a membership of over 100
and a solid vote for prohibition of the
liquor traffic. Prohibition being one
of the cardinal doctrines of the church.
They gave me full bouses and 1 left
them with a W. C. T. U. and Loyal
Temperance Legion. Their minister,
with his accomplished wife, lately
from Chicago, are shining lights. At
Burwell, in Garfield Co., I found a
crowd waiting for me both evenings
and some 50 women at the afternoon
meeting where we organized a Union
and L. T. with capable leader in the
Congregational minister who is a
member of the American Institute of
Philosophy, and one of the grandest
young men I ever met, I only wish we
could have lectures from this scholar
ly gentleman. His talented young
wife is a fit help-meet. I continued to
"swing around the circle" in Valley
county until the county waa aroused,
when we "rounded up" in Ord with a
mass Convention which a wonder to
everyone. Among the notable, we in
troduced an old lady who was one of
the historic 33 who were arreasted and
imprisoned at Pittsburg Penn., by the
saloon-keepers, because these women
were praying on the sidewalks in
Crusade days. Of course the Chautau
qua salute was quick to follow the in
troduction. The Convention held .'Ul
day and evening and was pronounced
a complete success. The Superintend
ent of public instruction, whom 1
found was a comrade of my husband
in the 6th. Army Corps and both
wounded same day at Cedar Creek, in
vited me to visit the Teacher's Insti
tute, which 1 did with other white
ribboners. When I was called to the
platform 1 asked the Superintendent to
allow me the privilege, in the name of
his dead comrade, of pinning on his
coat a bouquet tied with the white
ribbon, explained that this ribbon
meant purity in the home and govern
ment. His eyes tilled with tears at
the mention of his comrades and as
ne bowed that I might fittingly decor
ate this brave man, who had been
elected by a whiskey vote voluntarily
assured the teachers that hereafter the
Scientific Temperance Instruction law
should be better enforced in Valley
county. With regret I left the kind
friends in Ord and wended my way to
Grand Island to give my third talk in
that wicked city, and I felt quite at
home with my suffrage speech in the
G. A. li. Hall festooned overhead and
all sides with the national colors, and
the woman's version of "Bed, white
and blue," rang out in song, with as
patriotic an air as ever was heard on
American soil.
Marching orders for Boone county
and I pick up my grip and after an all
day trip find myself in a crowd at
Albion depot where the Baptist and
M. E. ministers each reached out a
hand
saying—"Is this Mrs. Hall? and
before 1 could hardly realize it, I and
my numerous packages, memoran
dums the bird cage, were safely domi
ciled in a quite home among the tress
birds and flowers and a lovely old lady

WESSINGTON SPRINGS, JERAULD COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY,
TIIE WHOLE DUTY OK MAN."
$4 enchanting landscape on all sides
It was love at first sight with the peo
ple of Albion and myself. A full
house Friday eve—with some 60 wo
ntyen at our Saturday afternoon meet
ing where we organized a Uuion then
went in a body to a political Conven
tion in the Opera House the women
stopping on the way to buy a bolt of
White ribbon, don their "colors" then
marched into the Opera House, where
I was allowed time tr present 'our
cause" to the princes of Nebraska. I
was escorted to the stage by the Bap
tist pastor (lately from Kansas) who
introduced me to the chairman, acting
governor of Nebraska, Poynter. As
Wjftelasped bands cheer after cheer
w^nt up from that Convention. When
I weiit to the front and he told them
I ?as from South Dakota another
cheer. At such times I aiways wish
I was a fine looking woman so I might
better represent my state as she richly
deserves. Hut one thing I know
there's not a heart with a waamer
throb in her behalf than my own.
We were all agreeably surprised to
hear the repeated applause as 1 tried
to show those farmers that the liquor
traffic was the biggest monopoly, be
cause just before I was called for, that
great bAdy of men with almost unan
imous vote endorsed the Cincinnati
Convention, which we women think
means whiskey. That same evening
I gave my lecture on "Giants" (equal
suffrage) and the house would not
hold the people. Several sturdy hands
grasped mine after the meeting say
ing "I heard you in the Convention
and I stayed over to hear you again
although 1 live eleven miles from
here." Were it not for the kind words
I never could bear the mental strain,
Sabbath afternoon the Baptist church
was fuK while I gave a chalk talk and
organised a Loyal Temperance Legion
with 67 members. By request I talk
ed again that eve in the M. E. Church,
while any available space was pre
empted as standing room and the ves
tibule, sidewalks and outside of win
dows, were crowded my arm is still
tired with the hand-shaking and the
benediction "God bless you" spoken
by sober and drunken, old and voung
ch^er me on iny way as I '.'move on'
to 7th. District, nearing my own South
Dakota. Like a homesick child
count the days till home coming, and
still regret parting with such warm
hearted friends as I have found in ail
my travels in Nebraska. "God be
with you till we meet again" is the
prayer of the wanderer as 1 turn to
wardsbome. MRS. N. C. HALL.
