why 1t Prohibits.

Leavenworth Times: Down at Empo-
ria, it is safe to say that the prohibition
law has had a thorough test, and that
prohibition prohibits. The Times has
it from excellent authority that the
vigorous assaults against the liquor men
which were commenced last November,
and kept up throughout December, have
resulted in cleaning out the saloons COM
pletely; and though many of the cases
have been appealed and are now in the
district court, few have the courage to
keep up fight where public sentiment
is entirely against them, and several of
those that were engaged in the traffic
have left the city. The Times inform
ant attributes the enforcement of the
law to the fact that the officers of the
law are fearless in the discharge of their
duty; and while he (the Times inform
anti had no doubt that liquor could be
had in Emporia, he believed one would
have to be well up to tricks to do so,
and there was not only an outward Oh
Of the law, but an inward one
so far as possible.

the EMPoRIA NEWS weekly of

an enterprising firm as that which pub
fishes the NEWS ought to support it
with hearty good will, and with all the
material backing which goes 10 show that
good will. The number of which we
speak will be worth thousands of dol
lars TO the town. It will give strangers
a sense of tie beauty of the town, even
If they never visit it, to see the number
of fine residences with which the paper
is illustrated, and the cuts for which
have, no doubt, been contributed by the
enthusiastic citizens who own them.
EmpOria has also a number of public

Double Exeeution-Two Murderers
Hanged at ST. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-Thaddeus Babe,
and William Ward, the latter colored
were executed in the Jail yard this morn
Ing. Both men retired at about II
O'Clock last evening, Ward desiring to be
called at O'Clock. At that hour he
arose and shortly afterwards BabeI
awoke and dressed. They then walked
up and down the jail court yard for a
time, after which they retired to the cell
together, and Baber read aloud from the
bible, Ward occasionally singing hymns.
They ate fairly hearty breakfast and
declared they were ready to die.
The Rev. Dr's. Cause, Boyd and Clag-
gett visited the men shortly after
Six O'Clock, and remained in their cells
praying and exhorting with them.
Ward was buoyed up with religious
fervor and believed he would go direct
TO heaven. Baber was more apathetic,
but professed to believe also. He told
one of the guards who rendered him
some little kindness: "1'n give you q
lift at the other end in heaven" The
death warrant was read to Ward as he
sat in front of the cell by Sheriff Mason.
During the reading Ward paid no atten-
ton, but read from the bible held IN
front of him by Rev. DR.. Boyd. he
was reading the account of the crueiflc-
fion. Baber also fixed his eyes on
the bible held by Rev. MIR. Claggett
while the deputy sheriff read the
warrant The arms of the doomed
men were then pinioned and
| the procession to the scaffold began
When the prisoners faced the gallowE
Rev. DR.. Boyd made an eloquent prayer
on their behalf. The men were theI
asked If they had anything to say. Ward
i shook his head. Baber responded
s.No sir, have nothing to say" Up t.
the last moment both men kept theii
eyes on the bible. The black caps wert
