The question Is in active circulation

the St. Paul Press. Twelve years

frills 10 help him up the hill Of dis

Boomerang. The paper dropped into
the journalistic circles of the wild West
like a nigger-chaser thrown into
crowded street on Fourth of July night.
Such journal was never befoYe seen
nor since. From the kick or il was
atsonce seen that the Boomerang stood
alone, not exactly grand or
gloomy, but peculiarly peculiar. It had
not a rival in the Union, and 70 every
one 1t was palpable that something in
describable had dropped II chanced
that the same week Of the Inauguration
Of the Boomerang l published in my
Lone Tree Squib a fool editorial, What
Are You Living For2' and leading OF

TEMPERANCE WOMEN At BAR.

Crusaders Placed on Trial 1t Trenlon.
NO., for Demolishing sAloons-The Ac-
cused and Their Adherents Parade he.
fore Going TO Court.
KANSAS CRY. Mo-, Feb. 22.-The lo-
cal train to Trenton, Mo-. Friday was
loaded with Spickardsville crusaders
and their sympathizers. They came to
attend the trial Of the ladies arrested
for demolishing the saloon Of Thomas
Brady. When the train stopped at the
station the sixteen crusaders first alight-
ed and were followed by nearly 800
persons. A crowd OF 800 Trenton
crusaders and 200 spectators had gath
cred and procession was formed, with
the sixteen Spickardsville crusaders in
the place Of honor. Then the march
was taken up and Rev. J. H. Cox, pastor
Of the Methodist Episcopal church and
marshal Of the day, called upon tho
hosts to sing Hold the Fort"
The Pickardsville people carried BAN
ners on which were inscribed notices,
among them the following:
mo club rooms here"
"A mothers hopc-a sober son."
I'VE protect our homes and children"
"Thc will Of the majority ID law"
Hear the voice of the people"
The procession stopped at the opera
house, where arrangements had been
made for public meeting. Rev. Mr..
Cox presided, and when he called tho
meeting to order the house was packed
with crowd Of 1900 persons. A song
was sung, prayer was offered by Rev. Mr..
Knox, of the Presbyterian church, and tho
chairman announced that short speeches
were in order Addresses were made
by Rev. J. P. Davis and Rev. h. Lock-
hart, Of the Christian church; Rev. Rob-
bins, Of the Methodist Episcopal
church Of Spickardsvillc, and G. J.
Ringe, an engineer Of this city.
It was lao o'clock when Justice
Shanklin, before whom the case was to
be tried, called the court to order. The
jury had already been selected, and
there was no delay. A. Fl. Burkholder,
counsel for the defense, rose to state his
case. The prosecution objected to this
until the charges against the visitors
had been stated. The justice over
ruled the objection, and then from the
crowd broke forth applause Of most
violent kind. The justice called loudly
for order, and when quiet was restored
geprimanded the spectators, adding that
he was holding no temperance meeting,
but a court of justice.
Thomas Brady, the owner Of the de-
| molished saloon, then told how his
building had been wrecked. During the
cross-examinatlon the defense ques-
toned him with the purpose ol
showing that his saloon was Z
public nuisance and ought to have been
abandoned. The prosecution objected
to that line of cross-examination, and,
pending the Justices decision on that
point, the court adjourned until this
morning. Seventy-five witnesses have
been subpGnaed and the trial will last
about three days.
