THE KANSAS LIQUOR LAW.

A New Step Taken by the Attorney Gem
eral of the State Which Will Prove of Gem
era1 Interest.
A new step under the Kansas liquor law
has been taken at Wichita, Kan, which is
said to be the first instance of the kind on
record. Attorney General Hallowell has
filed petition TO foreclose lien of $4,000
on the property Of Rosa Werner, large
brick Llock on the most prominent street
OF that city. The defendant, it is claimed,
knowingly rented her property to one Rode
for the purpose of running what is known
as liquor Joint. This man, January ~,
was convicted of violations of the liquor
law, sent to the County Jail for over two
years and fined $2,GOO and costs of suit
The importance of the suit becomes appar-
ent when it is remembered that in many
OF the business blocks are found these
joints run by men irresponsible and as
willing to be paid for staying in Jail as for
keeping bar. All the fines and costs against
them which have thus accumulated and now
amount to large sums will be charged upon
the owner, and will no doubt be enforced
by execution if the case is decided in favor
of the State.

THE IMPORTATION OF FOREIGNERS,

The Presicent OBJECTS to the Violation. o.
the Contract Labor Eaw.
Tiae letter to United States District At
torney Calvin from President Cleveland,
relating to the importation of foreigners
into the ports at Boston in violation OF the
contract labor llW is as follows
Information has reached the Treasury De-
parliament that e.large numben OF foreigners
have been brought into Massachusetts Under
violation Of the contract labor law for the. pur-
pose Of manning american fishing vessels sent
out from the ports of Gloucester. Boston, and
Beverly for tic purpose of taking fish
along the Canadian coast It seems to
mo, quite ceGnain that such foreigners
and aliens have been brougEb in by parties
in direct violation CT the statute caserine
suah cases. andI believe TINT the inpor1at ton
ofsuch 1oreignngs tends to the displacemsnt Of
American labos l aware that many OF
those persons have. through the care OF tha
officials, been, returned to the country from
,woich they came. I therefore enjoip on Won
the duty Of a prompt investigation OF these
cases. and request that YOU confer vita, the col
factors of the ports OF Boston and Gloucester,
that prompt ard effective measures NAV be
saken. The department has ordered thst
special agents be detailed. who will report di.
rectly to YOU and if YOU require any further
assistance will be given you apon appls.

Death Of a Kansas Jurist-A New Pro-

News.

A large sized sensation has been created
at Louisville, KY, by the announcement
that two of the most prominent whisky
merchants and distllers in that city are to
be turned out of the First Christian church,
the leading church of that denomination
there, for declining to give up the manu-
facture and sale of whisky. The two men
in question are Robert j. Tilford and
Thomas II. Sherley, both OF the highest
social and commercial standing.
The action of the church in the matter
has aroused great deal of indignation
among the whisky men, who are leaders IN
business circles and regard themselves
quite as good Christians as anybody else.
It is understood that this movement is to
be followed up by other churches, and in
that event the whisky men will very likely
establish church of their own.

The Vulcan Steel-Works Forced to Re
move Their Plant Elsewhere.
A sensation has been caused in manu-
featuring circles of St. Louis by the rumor
that the rich body of iron ore at Iron
Mountain and Pilot Knob has been ex-
hausted and that the Vulcan Steel Works
will be removed to Cleveland. The plant
is controlled by the st. Louis Ore & Steel
Company, and its lessees are Wilcox &
Stuart. The shipments have fallen from
$4,000 tons of ore per month to G,0O0.
Seventy per cent. of the men employed
work for them to do. Stores in the vicinity
have been abandoned, and the settlements,
which was so lively year ago, as only q
mining camp can be, is now exceedingly
dull. The former employees are going
elsewhere to seek for work, as there is
nothing for them to do at Pilot Knob.

Besides that, he knew That this spiritual

the night or a darkened room. Why? The

Some of the performances of spiritual
mediums are not to be ascribed to fraud,
but to some occult law that after awhile
may be demonstrated. But believe that
now 999 out of every 1000 achievements on
the part of spiritual mediums are arrant
and unmitigated humbug. The mysteri-
Gus red letters that used to come out on
the mediums arm were found to have been
made by an iron pencil that went heavily
over the flesh, not tearing it, but so dis
turbing the blood that it came up in great
round letters. The witnesses at the
