ST. Louis, May 2.-Miss Frances E.

attend the state meeting of the union. In
the course Of lengthy interview on the
whisky question in general she touched
upon the recent Original package de
cision of the United States supreme court.
She said: There is nothing to dis
courage us When the fugitive slave
law was passed and the bred Scott
decision was given all looked dark to the
workers for freedom Nothing, however,
could have been so helpful to the Abolition
cause. That was the crack of doom TO
the slave power. Now if a prohibitory
state has no laws that the United States is
bound to respect-and this is exactly the
force of the supreme court deCision-it
will prove the crack of doom to the whisky
oligarchy"

TOPEKA, Kan, May 22-Attorney Gen
eral kellogg is in receipt of many inquir-
les from prosecuting officers asking what
course they shall pursue with the dealers
in original packages Yesterday he ad-
dressed them letter instructing them as
TO their duty, in which he says that the

tion to the unanimous opinion of the state

airy term, 1880, and in opposition to the
views OF large majority of the people of

one else. Where there il evidence that the

mo single bottle of intoxicating liquor,
however securely it may be corked or
sealed, can constitute the original pack
age unless il is separately imported in
that particular form. Where one or more
such bottles are imported together and
shipped in closed or open box, or in sep
araie compartments of a closed or open
| case, the entire box or case and its con-
tents constitute the original package.
Ii Is my advice, therefore, that every man
who sells intoxicating liquors in original
packages should be closely watched and
arrested if he swerves q hair breadth from
