NEW CABINET 0FFI0EB8.
It is already announced that two
members of Resident McKinky's
cabinet-will retire at the begining
of his aecon4 administration and
there may be other cabinet changes.
Attorney General Griggs will resign
his office to engage in the practice
of the law because he cannot afford
to live in his present high official
station on its salary of $S .000 a
year.
Ill health is assigned as the rea-
son of Secretary Root's prospective
retirement. We shall therefore,
see at least two new men in the
cabinet soon and some of the offi-
cers may be changed to new posi-
tions,
There is much talk about the
probability that President McKin-
ley will take a southern man into
his cabinet and H. Clay Evans, of
Tennessee, at present commissioner
of pensions, is most prominently
mentioned in this connection. He
has made a fine record as pension
commissioner and is one of the
ablest Republicans iu the south.
LIFE OF
LONELINESS.
NO SUFFRA6E LEGISLATION.
The bewitching smiles of the
woman's suffragists will hereafter
be of no avail at this session of the
legislature. The house republi-
cans, with every member present,
held a cruel, heartless caucus last
night and by a vote of 15 to 1 de-
cided that woman's suffrage should
be considered, as J good as dead.
Represeneative ; Decker was , the
only member who favored a wo-
man's suffrage law. The caucus
action was controlled by the parti-
san fear that woman's suffrage
would enable the wives of too many
populist and democrats to vote.—
Guthrie Leader.
Next Tuesday is Lincoln's birth-
day anniversary.
The modern Woodmen camps of
Oklahoma will be represented at
Guthrie, next Tuesday, bv several
hundred delegates and the date is
anticipated with great eagerness
by all local Woodmen. An inter-
esting program for the day has
been prepared to close at night
with a social meeting and banquet.
Guthrie, as Oklahoma's logical
convention city, will do all she can
to entertain her guests.
Mrs. Carrie Nation addressed
Kansas legislattre yesterday. She
said: "You can remedy this con.
dition by knocking out the clause
in the prohibitory law which gives
county attorneys right to summon
witnesses but which refuse him
the right to compel them to testify,
ou would do it if common mur-
erers were running loose, why
not do it in this case. Now men,
am pleading to you. I have been
forccd to do this smashing busi-
ness. I am going to tell the truth
to you; you have not been doing
our duty. A good solid vote is
the best thing in the world with
hicli to smash saloons. Yuu re-
fused me the vote and I had to
use a rock."

Kansas Citt, Feb. 8th.—Mrs. Hattie
Thomas. 72 years of age, secured a per-
mit frpm the county court yesterday,
admitting her to the poor farm. Sel-
dom has a woman of *0 much respect-
ability and refinement appeared in the
countv court room for ihi* purpose.
She would make u delightful com
panion for an invalid requiring the com-
pany of a woman of education and re-
finement ; there are many who really
need her; she needs only one. To
bring these two needs together is a
problem which would save this gentle
old woman from the humiliation of
pauperism, the unmerited disgrace of
destitution. She would not hsve to
est the people's bread, doled out by
unfeeling hands; her Ia9t days would
he spent under skies of blue; she would
entile through her glasses at the pass-
ing years, and eat thankfully the crust
of industry, the industrious Idleness of
age that has paid the debt it owes the
world. The solution of this little prob-
lem would spare a human being—a wo-
man, too—who has discharged every
obligation to society, who has borne
bravely and patiently the burden of the
three score years and ten of life—it
would spare her the churlishness of
charity, the ignominy of alms. No one
would guess from her dress that she
was destitute. While not extravagant
or expensive, her clothes were new,
neat and clean. Her gold-rimmed spec-
tacles and comfortable coat and hat
caused the casual spectator to look
twice or three times to convince him-
self that this woman was a candidate
for the poor farm. Mrs. Thomas told
the court she had been employed at the
Women's and Children's hospital,
Eleventh and Troost avenue, for the
past two years, but that the rheuma-
tism had disabled her so that she was
no longer able to work. Pulling off a
black yarn mitten, she showed the
judges that her hand was paralyzed
from the effects of rheumatism. Mrs.
Thomas story is a sad one. Her hus-
band was killed in the war, and soon
afterward her three small children
were taken from her by diphtheria.
Ever since the war she has been a
childless widow, alone and dependent
upon herself. Twenty years of that
time she had lived in Kansas City, sup-
porting herself by sewing, washing,
housework^ and whatever she could
find to do. When Mrs. Thomas was
asked how her husband died, she said
in a tremulous voice: "The rebels took
him out of the house and killed him.
He was a union man. They took him
out right before my eyes and killed
him—" and she covered he* face with
her hands and sobbed.
