Another L0fhY0b Affair.

A special to the Kansas City
Times dated Pennington, Mo-, April
| 2, says: Some time ago the ladies
of this city warned the "bllnd tigers"
to close their lawless dens and made
a raid on the worst place. Week be-
fore last warrants were sworn out
for the women and the "ugers" inn
agined their bluff would frighten the
women out of their declared inten-
tion to raid all joints and during the
city election Tuesday the violation
Of law was more fragrant than ever.
Some of the dens sold out their sup
plies entirely and expected to re-
plenIsh them by the orders that were
to arrive to-day.
The ladies kept their own counsel,
but early this morning if anyone had
kept sharp lookout he might have
noticed one or two ladies with heavy
shawls walking in the direction Of
the Presbyterian church, where they
had been holding prayer meetings,
and if he were close observer he
might have noticed that under their
shawls they carried something heavy.
About 9 O'Clock the wagon of Au-
gust Thomson, local agent Of st,
Louis brewery, coming into town
loaded with twenty-five kegs of beer
was met by Mrs. Jennie Foster, Mrs.
G. w. Williams, Mrs. Ed Jerrold,
Mrs. VIM. Odgers and Mrs. Finley,
who ordered the driver to stop, and
they then commenced to knock the
bungs out of the kegs and the foaming
beer was SOON drenching the street.
BEER AT THE STATION EMPTIED.
After finishing the load and pilIng
the kegs up in the road, the ladies
borrowed the wagon and Mrs. Foster
taking the relns, drove to the Delas
sus railroad station, where there
were about seven cases Of bottle beer
and twenty-slx more kegs. This
they treated in similar way, knock
ing the bungs out of the kegs and
uncorking the bottles. They did not |
arrive at the station IN time, how
ever, to intercept load that went to |
Doe Run.
The beer that the ladies emptied |
was shipped on orders, some of 1t
being for the use of private families,
but the most of it was sent for by |
the "blind tigers"
After finishing the work the five
crusaders. returned to Pennington
and drove through the town. Large |
crowds assembled Oh the street to
see them pass. One of the ladies
had shot gun in her hand and look
ed as if she did not propose to be
interfered with, but all were smiling
and in the best of hLmor.
1t issthe intention of the ladies to
establisha blockade and not allow
any beer to be. hauled into town as
the effective way to head off the
lawless saloons.

BROTHER WALDEN, of the Howard
County ADVERTISER, recently paid
a visit to the Boonville reform school.
He says that there are now eighty
seven inmates of the institution, fif-
teen of whom are darkles. Tie ages
Of the boys range from 10 to Is
years. Everything connected with
the school and Its management goes
on like clock work. There are 140
acres of land, which is cultivated by
the. boys. The school building is an
elegant, well arranged brick struct-
uIe and has the surroundings of
a neat, we'll kept home. Mr.. Walden
had associated. the idea of Jail or
prison in connection with the school,
but this idea, he says, quickly van
ished on seeing the beautiful location
and surroundings of the building.
The boys are made to feel that the
place Is a home In which they will
be kindly and considerably treated
instead of a prison IN which they
have been incarcerated for crime.

the duty on imported hides when

The experiences OF many observ-
ing persons have satisfied them that
the chief sources of family friction
are, on the part of the husband,
domineering disposition; on the
part Of the wife, friyolty, and of
both together, selfishness or want of
consideration. All are the faults of
undeveloped natures, and not of
marriage, though close association
may intensity them. Sometimes
these faults are reversed-it is the
husband who lacks depth and char
acter, and the wife who rules with
rod Of iron.
