sight is afforded into the customs
which prevailed in the colonial days, by
a peep at the laws enacted well nigh two
centuries ago, directness and refresh

governor, it need not be stated, greatly
values this unexpected GIFT.

NO GOOD.

Section i9 of the Liquor Law Declared
Unconstitutional.
The following is copied from the re.
port of the proceedings of the supreme
court at Topeka yesterday:
In the case of the state of Kansas vs.. ].
J. Barrett, on error from Wilson county
the defendant was prosecuted under sec.
ton 10, chapter 1913, of the laws of 1881,
page 243, a section of the prohibitcPy
law. The supreme court holds as fol-
lows:
Section 16, article 2, of the constitu
ton provides as follows: mo bill shall
contain more than one subject, which
shall be clearly expressed in its title.''
The title to the act in controversy reads
as follows: IAN act to prohibit the man.
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors,
chaRical purposes, and to regulate
the manufacture and sale thereof for
such excepted purposes" Said section
reads as follows: "Section 10. 1t shall
be unlawful for any person to get in
toxicated, and every person found in q
state of intoxication shall, upon convic-
ton thereof, before any justice of the
peace, be fined in the sum Of So, or be
Imprisoned in the county Jail not ex-
ceeding ten days. The complaint upon
which the defendant was prosecuted
reads as follows: "S. 8. K, county at
torney, OF lawful age, being duly sworn,
on his oath says: That at the county of
Wilson and state Of Kansas, on the 9th
day OF June, a. D., 1881, one J. J. B. did
then and there unlawfully and wrong
fully get intoxicated, and was found in q
state of intoxication, contrary to the
statute in such cases made and provided,
and against the peace and dignity of the
state of Kansas" Held, That said sec
ton 10, so far as 1t has any application
to this case, is unconstitutional and void,
being enacted in contravention of sec
ton 16, article 2, of the constitution.

Two New SAINT. Fa- Eating E7onsas

Two New Santa Fe- Eating Houses.
Topeka Capital: The plans of two
new eating houses to be constructed
along the line of thea. T. & s. F. rail-
way in Kansas have been shown US.
These new buildings will be constructed
at once, and will be in keeping with the
wealth of the great corporation that will
own them, being made in the most mod
ern style and with every known con-
venience. They will be two stories
high, and will be deliberately finished.
One of the new structures will be erect
ed at Walton, Harvey county, Kansas, a
city that makes a very desirable location
for first class railroad eating house on
account Of the hours that the passenger
trains arrive, this being a very serious
objection to the continuance of the pres
ent eating house At Florence. The other
eating house will be constructed at Kins-
ley, and will prove decided eonyen-
fence TO the hungry traveller through
western Kansas. Under the manage
ment of Mr. Fred Harvey. the A. T. s.
S. F. railroad eating houses have be-
come decidedly popular, and these two
new houses, finished in first class style,
will be an addition to the road that the
travelling public cannot fail TO appre-
ciate
