Horse Shoeing a Specialty
BY Ai OC'IATKD PRESS.
St. Louis, April 28.—Seventy-one
years have elapsed since an eighteen-
year-old bride in this city played a
tremendous part in the history of the
United States by Intercepting and
withholding important government
orders The history of at least three
states on the Pacific coast hinges
more or less directly upon this act
of insubordination, pronounced
the time, for and wide, as high-
handed, but later justified by the
exigencies of the times. The bride
was Mrs. Jesse Benton Freemont
wife of John C. Freemont, the ex
plorer and stateman, and daughter
of Thomas H. Benton, for many
years a senator from Missouri.
Early in 1843 Freemont received
from the United State government a
commisison to undertake the second
of his noted expeditions of explora-
tion to the northwest, then a vast,
uninhabited region, the ultimate des-
tiny of which hung in the balance.
In obedience to it, he came to St.
Louis from Washington and Immed-
iately set about outfitting his ex-
pedition. with his young wife acting
as his secretary.
It is a matter of history that dur-
ing the first third of the last cen-
tury there was a powerful sentiment,
both in and out of congress, against
| extending the domination of the
United States to the Pacific coast.
Such senators as Webster and Cal-
houn were opposed to it and for the
most part were unable to influence
congress to their beliefs. On the
other hand, Senator Benton, follow-
ing his first election in 1821, became
a staunch advocate of western ex-
pansion and was able to command
a large following, through whose
efforts the various expeditions of
expeditions of explorations were
thorized.
In outfitting his expedition, Free-
mont took the liberty of adding a
12-pound brass howitzer, secured
from the government arsenal at St.
Louis upon the representation that
he needed it as a defense against
possible hostile Ondians.
News of this acquisition, it ap-
pears, was carried hastily to Wash-
ington, where the announcement
creatrd something of a sensation in
government circles. The element not
especially friendly to the expedition
declared that the taking of a cannon
into foreign or neutral territory con-
stituted an act of hostility which
might involve the government in
grave eventualities. TLls view ap-
pears to have been shifred by the
head of thp topographic bureau, un-
der whose direction the explorations
wi re being made, for he straightway
dispatched sealed order to Freemont
it St. Louis, directing him to halt
the expedition and report forthwith
Washington for the purpose of
giving an explanation of his action.
Freemont had left St. Louis for
the west in April, shortly before
the arrival of these orders, Mrs.
Freemont, as his secretary, being in-
structed to open his mail and for-
ward by courier such documents as
appeared important. He was still
within easy recall, halving proceeded
but a short distance into what now
constitutes Kansas upon the day of
the arrival of the important post.
The young Mrs. Freemont, who
was thoroughly imbued with the ar-
dor of her husband and father for
western expansion, thought she dis-
cerned in the peremptory orders
subterfuge to defeat the purpose of
the expedition. For her husband to
proceed to Washington, she well
knew, would require weeks and make
impossible any journey to the north
west during that season. Senator
Benton was absent; it was before
the days of telegraph; she had no
one with whom to counsel. Thus,
beset, the young wife resolved tc
suppress the orders.
Summoning one of the fast cour-
iers at her command, Mrs. Freemont
dispatched a message of love to her
husband, urging him at all hazards
to hasten his departure from the
fartherest fringe of civilization and
to pass beyound the Rocky inoun
tains as quickly as possible. There'
were hints of a reason In the nies
: DAN AND NINETY-THREE:
By DAY ALLEN WILLEY. .
It was In a division dispatcher's of-
fice of the B., Q & R. railroad, and the
party was a group
of engineers who
were having a
(julet smoke and
chat over old
times, while wait-
ing for orders to
start out
"Boys," said one
of them, "d'you
remember old Dan
Reyi*>lds7"
"Oubbb I da,"
said another.
"When X was flr-
in' on the Susque-
hanna division,
Dan was haulln'
coal trains. It
was said that he
never was known
to get stuck on a grade. Used to pull
the heaviest trains on the road, too,
with that old Ninety-three of his."
"I've often heard about him," said
another. "They used to say he
thought more of his engine than a
wife, and that he'd rather stay on it
than go to a hotel."
"That's so. Bill; you're right there!"
exclaimed the oldest one of the party,
as he knocked the ashes from his
pipe. "Dan Reynolds would always
stay by his engine under all circum-
stances, though he never had a smash-
up or killed a man. I remember one
time he stayed, and I sha'n't forget It
as long ao I live.
"We had three engines on. Old Dan
with Ninety-three was 'head. Then
came Jim Barton with One-hundred-
and-elgbty, and then me. Before leav-
In", Burr, the general superintendent,
came along and said as there was
some passengers who wanted to catch
a steamer next day at Philadelphia,
and for us to connect at Harrisburg.
If it was possible.
Well, we went along, runnln' with
about two feet of snow on a level.
For over thirty miles We didn't have
much trouble. Finally we came to
the Broad-cut.'
"The snow fills In there four and
five feet, even when the wind isn't
blowln' at all. Suddenly Dan blew
for brakes, and we stopped.
"Then I saw the conductor go up
to Dan and commence talking to him,
Dan shakin' his head. I found out
afterward that the conductor wanted
him to give up tryln' to go through on
account of the drifts, but the old man
wouldn't hear to It.
"Then the conductor got aboard.
Ninety-three whistled twice, and we
started with a full head of steam. It
didn't seem as though anything could
stop us, and nothin' did for most a
mile. All at once we slowed up and
stopped. I had my throttle wide open,
the sand-pipe open, and the drivers
went around so that the sparks flew
up to the cab-windows. But It was
no go.
"I got out on my tender and looked
round. Everything was snow and the
drifts were as high as the cab-win-
dows.
I could see old T>an in his cab try

You don't save money when you buy cheap or big-can baking powder. Don't be misled. Buy Calumet.
It' more economical—more wholesome gives best results. Calumet is far superior to sour milk and soda.
Thus, Colonel Freemont proceeded
upon a journej of months all un-
conscious that his presence in Wash-
ington was daily expected.
There was another sensation at
Washington when the expedient prac-
ticed by the young bride became
known, it was stated that Freemont
would be arrested and court-mar-
tialed as soon as the government
could lay hands upon him and that
his wife might also suffer prose-
cution. Xothiug came of these^
threats, however, and when the ex-
plorer finally did reach Washington
months later, he found praise and
promotion instead of prosecution,
while his secretary was regarded
as something of o heroine because
of her part in the success of the
expedition.
The Freemont party dragged that
wheel-mounted cannon across the
trackles mountains and plains far
to the northwest, almost to the
present site of Portland. Ore., Re-
turning, it was conveyed down the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains to about the point where
the Central Pacific railway now sur
mounts that range. There, in at
tempting to <toss into California,
the expedition was caught by the
snows and winter and the piece had
to be abandoned. At Lake Tahoe,
nearby, it rests today—silent memen-
to of a girl's defiance of the govern
nt of the United States.

sage, but the reason was not given. In' to back his engine. One hand was
on the throttle and the other on the
lever, his cap was off and his gray
hair and grizzly beard was blowin' in
the wind.
"Wp took the fire-shovels and man-
aged to dig a path alongside the train
so that the passengers could get out
to the end of the drift. Then every-
body but Jim and I started for a
small town, a couple of miles back on
the road.
"We went up into Ninety-three's
cab, and there sat old Dan barehead-
ed, just as he'd stopped work.
"Says I: 'Come on, Dan, put on youi
cap; we're goln' back to IJlossburg
and wait for help. The storm's comin'
on heavy, and you'll be covered up if
you stay here!'
"The old man lifted up his head and
said: 'Boys, I don't go back to any
town. I made up my mind to get this
train through, but I can't do it. It's
the first time I was ever stalled In my
life. But 'taln't the old machine's
fault, and she feels it as much as I do.
She and I'll stay together now, if it
snows a hundred feet deep.'
"I knew 'twas no use arguln' with
him. He'd stay, if he made up his
mind to, and so we left him sittln'
there. By this time it was after mid-
night, and the snow came down thick
and fast, but we finally reached the
town. Next morning we all shouldered
shovels and got on the wreckln' train
which had been sent from Pittsburgh.
"We came to the cut, but nothin'
was to be seen but snow. Engines,
cars, and all were burled in it. We
finally reached where the train was
and commenced to dig around It
"At last we saw the head engine. I
climbed up and pulled back the cab
curtain. The old man was still there.
He was kinder standln* up and leanln'
forward, lookin' ahead the engine as
he always did when comin' into the
station
"One hand was on the lever and
the other was at the throttle, but all
the valves were closed, the fires out
and the cab half full of snow from
the windows, which were all blown
open
"I looked In his face and—" here
the speaker's voice dropped nearly to
a whisper—"boys, I saw that old Dan
Reynolds had made his last run."
