AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Justice Brewer ON the UNCONVENTIONAL
III ity of the PrOhibitory Amendment.

Justice Brewer ON the Unconstitutional
ity of the PrOhibitOry Amendment.
Commonwealth: The opinion in the
case of the state of Kansas VS.. Peter
Mugler, an appeal from Saline county,
was rendered Yesterday in the supreme
court
A liarimportance attached TO this
case as for the first time in Kansas
since the passage of the amendment, the
question was raised touching its validi-
ty in the respect of taking the property
of the individual without due process of
law, as guaranteed by the constitution of
the United States.
The defendant, who is the owner of a
brewery in Salina, which he valued at
ten thousand dollars at the time of the
passage of the amendment, alleged that
by the passage of said act his property
was deprecated in value to two thou
sand and five hundred dollars.
The opinion in question affirmed the
action of the lower court In rendering
their opinion, the court use the follow
ing significant language: ''The legisle-
ture has probably gone a long way in
destroying the values of such kinds of
property as the defendan: owned, and
has possibly gone to the utmost verge of
constitutional authority"
In vigorously expressed dissenting
opinion, Justice Brewer says: IL have
yet to be convinced that the legislature
has the power TO prescribe what a citi-
zen shall eat or drink; or what medi-
cines he shall take; or prevent him from
growing or manufacturing that which
his judgment approves, for his own use
as food, drink or medicine.
Further, prior to the constitutional
amendment the manufacture of beer was
free and unrestricted; no license, permit
or condition was required under that
state of the law. This defendant invest
ed his means in building and machinery
suitable for the purpose of manufactur-
ing beer, and unsuitable for any other
purpose, worth $4,000 for the former
use and not worth to exceed So, 500 9TH
erwise. The denial of the use has thus
practically deprived him of $500 Is
this not taking private property for
public use, without any compensation !?
If the public good requires the destruc-
ton of the value of this property, is not
prior compensation Indispensable

using their best efforts to the end that a
tribe may soon be established and

Report of the Public Installation at
Reading Last Night.
READING, Saturday, Jan. g.
The following officers of Reading
lodge, No. 2O1, 10. o. F.. were public
ly installed last evening by Past Grand
Master Levi Empy, of Burlingame, and
the occasion was one long to be rcmem-
bered by all who were present:
A. II. Bryan, y. G.,
I. c. Biddle, V. G.,
II. F. Holmes, permanent secretary,
f. Lorike, recording secretary,
II. Bryan, treasurer,
w. r. RouP, conductor,
j. NJ. Stephenson, warden,
G. w. Cowden, l. G.
After the installment, which was very
impressive, Prof Mcfarland, of Bur-
lingame. delivered a very interesting
address, reviewing the work of the or.
der and its growth, AID held the closest
attention of the audience while he was
speaking.
The Amphion club Of Emporia, was
present and their excellent singing was
one of the most enjoyable features of the
occasion. We should like TO see the
quintette visit Reading frequently
The regular tram at noon and al ex-
ira in the evening brought about fifty
persons from Emporia, mostly members
of the order of Odd Fellows, and their
presence contributed to the success OF
the ceremony.
A magnificent supper was served by
the ladies in the church, and the very
sight of the tempting tables was enough
to make one hungry. The wives Of the
cattle men in this vicinity know how TO
cook, as all win admit who partook OF
the splendid meal prepared by them last
evening.
A dance in one of the store rooms of
the village crowned the festivities,
which were among the most enjoyable
that Reading has ever seen.
