tional Bociety of the Daughter
of the American Revolution, the
election to which Is held In
April, la now actively tinder
way. ji embers are receiving lettera and
literature from both of the candidate
and the newspapers of the east are de
claring that the question of woman suf
frage will add Ita bitterness to the strug

didate Is an ardent suffragist
i The Manhattan chapter of ' New York
announces and endorses the candidacy of
Mrs. Wlillarn Cummin tory.
The Illinois state officers have sent out
over their own signatures statement of
Illinois' unanimous endorsement of Mrs.
Matthew T. Scott, the present president
for a second term. ,
Aa these two women were the candidates
at the election two years ago the present
campaign may be regarded as a renewal
of the struggle for supremacy.
In their letter the Illinois officers em
phasise the fact that every president gen
eral, except the first, the wife of Presi
dent Benjamin Harrison, haa been offered
a second term, and she died daring her
first year of office."
This election excitement as expressed In
the campaign literature haa reached mem
bers of the Omaha chapter, but has not
received official attention. The Omaha
chapter's delegates to the April meeting
have not yet been named. Their selection
will probably be made at the February

Th county commissioner of Merrick
county hve recently decided to raise $500
to mark the site of the "Old Lone Tree."
that famous landmark or the old Oregon
trail, near the alte of Central City. Neb.
This tree waa a bug cottonwood, remark,
able not only for its also, but for th fact
that It wa th only tree on the north aid
of the Platte In any direction. The grateful
had of the "old lone tree" made this spot
a favorite resting place for the occupants
of the white-topped prairie schooners
traversing th dusty plain. Thl action In

rising tide of interest In marking the his
toric spot of tli west. Nebraska has
already begun to take its place among
thoee state which hav already marked
th famous and historic site, within their
borders.
During the years that followed the find

soldiers, missionaries and coionlnta plodded
over th long road by hundred and thou,

vance tido of a nation s traffic, but with
the building of the railroads the old high
way, no longer uned, became obliterated,
nd in a few short years its very where
abouts will be forgotten and its course a
subject of unending disputes.
Four years ago an old man of more than
eighty years began a movement for per
manently marking the route of the Oregon
trail and sine that time the matter has
grown into a national affair.
Kira Meeker's Mission.
Thla old man was Esra Meeker, well
known to many Nebraakana, who have

of its results. He started from his home

pioneers, to erect monument arid markers.

A proviso of th bill is that the states
through which th trail passes Missouri,
Kansua, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington shall raise sufficient
funds to complete the work, in which th
government will assist.
Nebraska Start Work.
Nebraska la not tho state to wait for
others to make the first move in any pro
gressive work, and already here ha the
movement taken form, which, wheu car
ried to completion, will define the outlines
of thl trail through th state. Four stones
already stand sentinel, one at Fort Cal
houn, one at K-arney, one at Bellevue and
the fourth at On-aha.
Other western states are working along
similar lines. Th Santa Fe trail, for ex- j
ample, which stretches more than 700
mi lea from Missouri to New Mexico, one
of the great highway of th nation, al
though less than one-quarter th length of
tho Oregon trail. wa fast becoming ob-
Uttrated, when the state, of Missouri,
Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico,
through which it paased, turned their at
tention to the prevailing condition, and
paased, through their legislature, appro
priations with which to preserve It out
lines. They have set up their "sign at
the crossroads" until today this old trail
shows a line of atones marking th way,
from, border to border, from stat to state,
so that thos who travel may read and
the generation of today hav a permanent
reminder of their forebear who helped fo
blase this wilderness road.
Th stat of Missouri appropriated 3.000

long caravan of prairie schooners, packed
mlth merchandise, hsd passed, all bound
for the city of Pants Fe, which seamed lo
those days the veritable "end of the rain
bow," for there, indeed, was the fabled
"pot of gold," which the Mexicans gladly
exchunged fur the tatern goods. Calico,
at a few cents a yard in the states, sold
for 2 per yard at Santa Fe, with other
goods in like proportion. The long cara
vans on their return were laden with hun
dreds of thousands of Mexican dollars

The state of Kansas, a hen the matter

children of Kansas in a "penny collection."
The railroads delivered the markrs free to
all accessible points along their lines; the

and. with few exceptions, the county com
missioners assumed the expense of setting

The "main trail" along the north bank of
the Arkansas river end the "rut-off from
Cimarron southwest through Morton
county, this being don to pbviat any
contention which might arts as to which
was the "real trail."
The state of Colorado has also done
valuable work along thla line, making an
appropriation of K.OuO, which waa mate
rially augmented through the efforts of
the Daughters of the American Revolution
in the state and by private cltlxens. More
than thirty markets have been placed

the city council contributed $M.

appropriation, wa. another bill carrying
$4,000 for th purpose of establishing
