You had belt close or we will be after you.

Mrs Naii-n is not alone in this work. She has helpers. We will use our hatchets on your places if you don't close up. I have come to warn you that the time has came for the joints to close." With this speech and much more like it, Mrs. Nation tngue lashed Ryan until he was compelled to leave.

The mob which had collected kept cheering her on and continually added to its numbers by the hooting and yells. "The Senate" Visited Next After Mrs. Nation had finished with Ryan, she hastily made her way across to "The Senate," where another Joint is located. The crowd followed wildly after her. She opened the front door and ran back through the billiard hall located In the front and attempted to get through the door leading to the joint in the back room.

The excitement which had taken place across the street in Bert Russell's joint, had served to warn the proprietor of the Senate and when Mrs. Nation rushed in the front door he was ready for her and quickly closed the door leading to the joint. This did. not deter Mrs. Nation and as soon as she got to the door she rapped for admission.

"You can't come In," was heard from the inside. "Let me said Mrs. Nation; "I do not want to hurt your place, I just want to talk to you a few minutes." "Go away from here," again came the voice from the Inside of the door. The mob which followed Mrs. Nation, had surged into the billiard hall, and pushed and shoved this way and that In its endeavor to all get into the building.

"They are afraid to let me in," shouted Mrs. Nation, in her answer to the man on the inside of the joint door. "You are running a business of which you" are ashamed. Let me in. You are afraid to.

I won't hurt you." But it was to no purpose, and Mrs. Nation left the place. Attacked by a "Woman. She next visited the place in the southeast corner of Fourth street and Kansas avenue. Here a man named Myers keeps a cigar store, and a joint is said to be located in the back room.

At this place Mrs. Nation met the greatest opposition, and was struck several times with a broom stick in the hands of a woman said to be the wife of the proprietor. When Mrs. Nation reached this place she quickly rushed up the few steps leading Washington, Jan. 26.

IMPRESSION IN GERMANY. Queen's Death Overshadows All Other Topics.

Berlin, Jan. death of Queen, Vic- torla has made a profound impression upon the German public mind, overshadowing, for a time, every other topic. The newspa pers and other periodicals, without excep tion, have devoted an enormous amount of space thereto, and also to her successor and Anglo-German relations. Numerous reminiscences of the Queen have appeared. The Kreuz Zeitung revived the passage lit Prince Bismarck's me- fore the Wilson county authorities, ana moirs where the Prince's first meeting, at a warrant was sworn out for McKInney's Versailles, in 1855, with the Prince Consort Rhpriff Wbltaker Wil-and Queen Victoria is entertainingly de- snerux a.

26. Walter Scott Priest, pastor of the Christian church In Atchison, said today: "I am sorry that Mrs. Nation has the reputation of belonging to our church. She is acting the fool and bringing reproach on the church, on the temperance cause and on womanhood. Women like Mr3.

Nation discourage sincere workers in the cause of temperanca and religion." CONDENSED STORY OF EVENTSJHHE WEEK. NEWS OF THE WORLD. Nothing has happened for. years that has caused such universal interest among all people as the death of Queen Viotorla. It was on last Tuesday that she died, after a reign of more than sixty years.

Two days later the Prince of Wales was declared King Edward VII. No country in the world but was deeply touched by the Queen's death, and thousands of sympathetic communications have been pouring in to King Edward ever since. The declaration of Edward's kingship was made with all the ceremony of a century ago. Nothing decisive has been done by either side In South Africa. In China the powers are working hard to per-'' feet the peace agreement.

Certain concessions granted by the Venezuelan government toan asphalt company have led to strained relations between that country and the United States. The United States minister thought that all was not as it should be and called on the Venezuelans to delay until matters could be investigated. Venezuela does not take to the suggestion In a kindly and it is not lujprob- able that a few United States warships will anchor off her coast. Little has occured at Washington that Is of general Interest, Congress has agreed yon the, essential hev army bill. According jto one of itVrOvislons Generals Shafter, Lee, and Wilson will be retired.

No week's news is complete without its big fire. It occured at Montreal this week. More than $3,000,000 worth of property was destroyed. Dis content among the Indians of the territory caused it to seem for a few days as though an Indian uprising would be the result, NEWS OF THE STATE. Senator J.

R. Burton has taken up his residence in Washington, ready to assume the duties of the United States Senator. Hi's formal election occurred early in the week. In a graceful speech to both houses he expressed his appreciation of the election. The Legislature adjourned Friday afternoon.

It has been a week pf some gaiety for the legislators. Governor' Stanley's reception was the social event that probably has the greatest seal of state approval on it, but no happier affair will be giveiv this session than Mrs. Stanley's reception which" followed the Governor's. An entertainment at the Reform school and the party given the legislators by the Elks, completed the list of entertainments given for their benefit. The work of appointing the, committees has not yet been completed.

Many bills have been introduced in both houses. The proposed amendments to the jury law were defeated. One of these amendments provided that three-fourths of a Jury might bring in a decision. Another amendment proposed to make it easier to secure a seat on a jury. Both were suggested by the Morrison trial.

Some new Interest has been added to that trial by the discovery of a razor covered with blood and rust. The Owen-Hackett contest has been decided in favor of Mr. Owen. The Martin-Hazen contest has been thrown out because It was filed too late. A convention that met fn Topeka to ask the Legislature for new laws was the clerks of the district courts.

Probably no more amusing campaign has ever been conducted in Kansas than that which Mrs. Carrie Nation began several weeks ago and which now has its center in Topeka. No woman in America has ever more effectually smashed the joints. Battered officers of the law and mutilated women are in her wake, and Mrs. Nation has fitted herself for the lecture field.

Another scare was also started in Kansas last week. It was a smallpox scare at Coffeyville. The week's tragedy occured in tho Pottawatomie reservation. An old squaw and a young woman were murdered. Jack Speers, the husband cf the young woman, la suspected of having been the murderer.

NEWS OF TOPEKA. Chief Stahl and his force have done no greater service to Topeka for months than when they drove Mrs. Nutt from the town. Mrs. Nutt was systematically ruining young ghrls.

One problem that is now bothering the police is- who robbed E. T. Cartlidge's house. About $300 worth of property was taken. Who Is doing the barn burning is also an Interesting problem.

Fire after fire has occured this week and every one was of incendiary origin. No such run of Incendiary fires has occurred for years and not a clue to-the incendiaries has been discovered. In the Auditorium, a Flambeau fair has been held all week to raise money for the club to pay part of Its expenses to Washington at the time of the inauguration of President McKinley.

T. TJ. President to Mrs. Hoffman Schilling and His Pugnacious Wife Have Departed. Special to the Capital.

Abilene, Jan. 26. As a result of the injunctions against saloonkeepers brought by the temperance people of Dickinson county it can be safely said that there is not an open joint in the county tonight. The County Temperance union held a meeting at the Methodist church this at ternoon, the Rev. W.

Thackery of Chap man presiding. Mrs. C. B. Hoffman of Enterprise made the principal address.

She made a fijry speech saying: "Mrs. Nation came there at the request of we women and we took the matter into our own hands. The Joints are now gone and will never reopen. They are wiped out forever. We have not stopped We will smash some more joints.

Mrs. Nation was right." Resolutions were adopted pledging support to efforts to close the joints, welcoming the evidence of a temperance move ment in Abilene, urging a repeal of the law requiring jury trial in contempt cases and asking general organization of local unions. C. B. Hoffman, Mrs.

Hoffman and H. A. Dilling were chosen delegates to the State Temperance union meeting. More injunction suits were brought today, this closing the last of the Abilene joints and the list will be continued until all In the county are shut. Owners of buildings are Included hi the papers.

SCHILLING HAS GONE. At Enterprise both joints are closed and the stock of the one left Intact by Mm, Nation has been moved away. Schilling and his wife who figured in the raid and succeeding fights have left town. Mrs. E.

P. Hutchinson, of Hutchinson, president of the state W. C. T. has thus written to Mrs.

C. B. Hoffman: "I congratulate you on your bravery in this raid in Enterprise. I knew you were strong enough and brave enough to do it. I hope to hear you have gained a victory." The injunctions brought have been made temporary by Judge Moore of the district court and hearing on making them permanent will come up at the term of district court beginning Monday.

NO JOINTS IN LAWRENCE. That Was What People There Told Mrs. Nation. Special to the Capital. Lawrence, Jan.

26. Mrs. Carrie Nation was In Lawrence about an hour this evening on her way from Ottawa to Topeka. Immediately on the arrival of the Ottawa train Mrs. Nation asked for a newspaper reporter, and when she found one her first request was that he tell where some joints were located.

"I don't want to smash them," she said, "but I want to go In and give them a good talking to and scare them to death." When assured that there were no joints in Lawrence. Mrs. Nation expressed surprise, but said she was glad of It. She came up town and soon met a student of the University of Kansas who was smoking a cigarette. She expressed her abhorrence of cigarettes as the young man approached and when about ten feet away she asked the young man to "swallow his smoke, and not blow it toward her." The young man replied very politely that he could do that, whereupon "Mrs.

Nation stopped and wondered if she could get a crowd to talk to. The crowd soon gathered, and she talked in her usual style. She stayed on the street but a short while and was piloted to the depot and took her departure for Topeka, ADVISES USE OF FORCE. Straight Talk of Mrs. Eva Shortz at 1 Emporia-Emporia, Jan.

26. Mrs. Eva Marshall Shontz, of Chicago, a temperance lecturer of national reputation addressing a large audience here today, advised her crusaders if necessary to march down the streets of Emporia and drive the rum fiend out by force. She did not explicitly indorse the tactics of Mrs. Nation, but advised women to awaken and assert their rights.

Mrs. Shontz goes to Leavenworth from here and says she will organize a crusade there directed particularly against the saloons near the National Soldiers' home. HER PLAN OF WORK. Mrs. Nation Purposes Organizing All Temperance Women of the Country.

Special to the Capital. Ottawa, Jan. 26. Mrs. Carrie Nation, the joint smasher, left here this afternoon for Topeka.

Before leaving she gave out the, following written statement concerning her plans for the future: "I wul raise an army of volunteer women over all the "United States; let them register by counties and states; when operations are to be begun to sweep a state of these murder shops and an at Hrs. Nation Is Introduced to Topeka Ways. VISITED THREE JOINTS. Beaten With a Broomstick by a Joint Sympathizer's Wife. NEVER LOST HER NERVE.

Followed by a Hob of Yelling Hoodlums Who Applied All Sorts of Epithets One Jointist's Tongue-Lashing. Mrs. Carrie Nation came to Topeka last night, and after visiting several Joints on lower Kansas avenue, was escorted around town by a wild, howling mob of several thousand people. She smashed no joints, but she was smashed over the bead by a broomstick in the hands of a woman said to be the wife of a Jointkeeper. She was not seriously hurt.

It was Indeed an enthusiastic reception which the capital of Kansas gave 'to the agile, determined looking woman who within a week has leaped Into national fame aa a joint smasher. Mrs. Nation's right eye was framed with a wide and richly colored mat of purple hue, placed there by one of the good women of Enterprise a day or two ago. But her thin, determined lips, her bright and flashing eyes, and her active, energetic demeanor, demonstrated to the most casual observer that Mrs. Carrie Nation la a woman whose ardor can not be dulled by black eyes or angry opposition She never lost her nerve for a small fraction of a minute.

She faced a jointist 'and talked him off the street; she tongue-lashed the husband of the woman who struck her with the broomstick; walked coolly up the street In the midst of a yelling mob, which offered! insults, abuse and indignities unheeded, and finally, when she arrived safe at the Capital office, and told the story of her experiences, she was the most selfpossessed per-eon In the room. ROUND OFJTHE JOINTS. Mrs. Nation Is Followed by Howling Mob Attacked by a Woman. The Journey down Kansas avenue in her quest of, joints was uneventful.

She kept her veil closely drawn about her face, so that no one would know her. When she reached Bert Russell's place, between Fcurth and Fifth streets, she walked boldly in the front door, and throwing back her veil, so that she could see clearly, she started on the run for the back room where the Joint is located. The front part of the room is a billiard hall, while the joint is in the rear, separated by a tight board partition. The dcor to the joint, usually closed, was standing wide open. In the billiard room there were several men playing billiards and lounging around.

Made a Wild Scramble. As Mrs. Nation entered the front door and threw back her veil and started on the run for the joint in the back room, there was a wild "scramble among the men. "Look out, back there!" yelled a colored man, who is employed in the joint. "Hey.

Eert, shut the door. Here comes Mrs. Nation!" yelled someone else. "Look out!" -Shut the door!" "Bert como here!" "Ed! Ed! get out here! quick!" and similar yells were heard as Mrs. Nation made her way quickly back towards the joint.

She did not reach the joint. Just as she reached the door Ed. Ryan came out and stopped her, and grabbing hold of her arms started towards the front door, pushing her in front of him. "Let me let me go; shame on you," said Mrs. Nation.

"I don't want to hurt the joint I won't do any smashing I have not got my hatchet with me "You can't come in. we dlon't want you here. You have got no business here. I want you to get out," said Ryan all the time pushing her out, and Mrs. Nation pulling and endeavoring to gt back into the joint.

"I don't want to hurt your place," again said Mrs. Nation. "I just want to see the inside of the joint," "You must go out." said Ryan, and aided by several of those standing around Mrs. Nation was finally pushed out the front door, which was locked on the Inside. Ryan went out with her.

Beads Jointist a Lecture. By this time the loud talking had drawn a large crowd to the place, and when Mrs. Nation began to lecture Ryan about keeping such a place the crowd multiplied with alarming rapidity until there were la ilie neighborhood of ai'j people standing "Ycu ought, to be ashamed of said Mrs. Nation to Ryan. "Don't you know that you are running an unlawful business, a place where murder is often AS IN CENTURIES PAST.

Archaic Costumes and An cient Symbols in Regal Ceremonies. GEORGE IV'S TIME RECALLED Ceremonies Attending Proclaiming of Edward Bex Even More Brilliant Larger Allowance for Royalty to Be Asked. London, Jan. 26. If it were not for the disillusion created by modern embellish ments, such as railways, England this week might be Imagined to be in the tenth instead of the twentieth century.

Nobles and local officers are arrayed in archaic costumes with ancient symbols of office in all the cities and towns, and have been performing the olden rites pertain ing to the accession of a sovereign. Placards, printed in quaint type and quainter Shakespearean language, pro claiming Edward VII King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain are surrounded by open mouthed crowds as they have been in centuries past, reading eagerly aa though they had not already read in the newspapers, the proclamation. Anyone crediting the English with re publican tendencies must be convinced by the present demonstrations of the ab solute, unquestioning loyalty of the whole people to the monarch. Thousands of columns of editorials In journals of every political shade, save few Irish, contain no trace of dissatisfac tion with Edward Rex. and only con' fidence and good wishes.

THEY SUPPORT EDWARD. No monarch ever took the crown more strongly supported. The same good feel. ing toward Edward VII pervades Europe. Only the Parisian and a few Russian papers attack him.

The tributes to the dead Queen have caused an era of good feeling- on the part of the English toward their sister nations, however brief. Emperor William's filial conduct and his willing abandonment of the celebration of the bicentennial of the Prussian monarchies have done much to strengthen the Anglo-German alliance, while the tribute of the Boer prisoners at xown, in giving- up tneir sports pending the Queen's funeral, softens the animosity of war. The solemnity with which the English people look on what seems to Americans to be queer ceremonies Is remarkable. The proclamation at the Castle Edinburgh, where Walter Soott from the window of the Constable book shop, saw George IV proclaimed, was no less brilliant than the London pageant. Heralds and pursuivants ascended the battlements and the octagon turret.

Around the tall shaft was swathed royal purple. After the reading the castle guns saluted and the Scots sang "God save the King." The ceremony was repeated at the gate of the castle and at the Stuart palace of Holyrood, at the town bound ary. The city officials, the university professors and the local sol'dery were in the Drooession which took place In a snow storm. ALLOWANCE TOO SMALL. The government will probably ask Pari! ment to increase the sovereignty allow ance half a million poundb.

Queen Vic toria's allowance was fixed at the begin ning of her reign at 380,000. partly de fraved bv the crown and state. The cost to the nation was 170,000. A new edition of prayer books, ready to morrow from bis majesty's printers, has been made necessary by the change of names of royalties occurring. If the Duke of Tork is made Prince of Wales another edition will be printed.

The new form will be used in all the churches. AUSTIN'S POOR POETRY, The genius of the poet laureate fell to the. lowest tide in the hastily turned out poem which appearec the day after the Queen's death. It was long, commonplace and of faulty meter. A great outburst or poetry is flooding the papers In which th unhoteworthy effort of Austin Is the only conspicuous poem yet printed.

The Saturday Evening Review, as might be expected, Jeers at the United States It declares: "Two of the greatest problems of the century are the future of China and South America. In the United States the politicians have formulated a creed for South America, where the protecting hand of the United States Is regarded with more apprehension than affection." and the paper suggests that Great Britain as a Central American power protect South America against Its "would be champion." The courts have administered a striking lesson In honesty in handling trust funds, dealing severe sentences to three defaulting lawyers, the discovery of whose crimes months ago greatly disturbed the people's confidence. Ben Tacko, the president of the law society whose firm swallowed pounds of its client's money, was sentenced to 12 years Imprisonment. His only defense was that he left the detaIIs.of the business to his nephew. Two minor law- yers were sentenced to ten years imprison ment far similar embezzlements.

WONDERFUL, PAGEANT. Preparations for Victoria's Funeral Becoming Definite-London, Jan. 26. The preparation!" fo Queen Victoria's funeral are gradually assuming definite form. It promises to be the most tremendous pageant of the generation.

The Influx of members ot royal families and representatives of foreign countries has been so wholly ua- into it and started towards the back part of the store. She bad proceeded only a few steps when she was met by the woman with the broom stick and was struck sev eral times. Mrs. Nation attempted to defend herself, but being unarmed, she could do nothing but try to dodge the blows. Finally she was forced out of the door.

Hastening around the corner, with, the mob at her heels, she made her way across the street to a small frame building on the alley In the north side of Fourth street, between Kansas avenue and Quincy. This place in times gone by, has been one of the toughest places in the city, and has been the location of many joints and the scene of much disorder. At the present time there is "chilf located in the place and the proprietor says' that he does not run any joint, How a Chili Parlor Looks. Mrs. Nation rushed in, and demanded of the proprietor, who met her at the door, that he show her the Joint.

"I have no joint," said he; "I run a chili parlor." "Don't you sell anything to drink?" "Nothing but good water." "Well, let me look around, I want to see your place." So the proprietor allowed Mrs. Nation to go into the back room, but she found nothing. She quickly left. This was the last place visited. Mrs.

Nation was going across the street on Quincy street just south of the corner of Fourth street, to visit Andy Durpee's place, but decided not to do so as the hour was growing late, and the crowd very boisterous. The mob kept up a continual howl, and many and various epithets were hurled at Mrs. Nation as she made her way along Quincy street, going south. So dense did the crowd become, that at one time she had to stop and make a speech to the crowd. "I am all done for tonight," she said to the crowd.

"I am going home now. I did not come out tonight to smash any joint. I only wanted to scare them, and warn them that they must close their places. They are in a wicked business, and I am going to see that they are closed. I am not alone in this fight, and there will be plenty of others to help In this fight against the saloons.

They must go, and they will go." Mrs. Nation spoke to the crowd for several minutes, and finally started on her way f.ome. The crowd became so dense and so noisy that it was beyond control, and although Mrs. Nation repeatedly told them that she was going home, the crowd would not leave. Mrs.

Nation hastened south on Quincy street and turning quickly up Eighth street towards Kansas avenue, she went into the Daily Capital office, and the door was shut behind her, keeping out the mob. TELLS THE WHOLE STORY Carrie Nation Explains the Ori gin of Her Crusade, and Her Reasons for Smashing Joints. Mrs. Nation wasquite calm as she was ushered into the local room of the Capital office. Her small, bright eyes flashed defiantly, despite the deep moumimr which the women of Enterprise had draped about her right optic.

"Give me a chair," said she, as she grabbed her little black bonnet with both hands, and forcibly tugged it around to the proper angle on her head. It had been considerably disarranged by Mrs. Meyer's broomstick. Mrs. Nation's advent Into the Capital office occasioned as much interest as though King Edward himself had entered.

And she was followed by a retinue as extensive as his would have been. Local reporters, Kansas City newspaper men, policemen, printers, and wives of all the aforesaid, if their wives happened to be at hand, followed Mrs. Nation. A chair was placed for the distinguished visitor in the middle of the room, and for half an hour, while a constantly increasing mob howled In the street below. M.
