Original Package Houses DO Not Thrive In
kinsiey.
Special 10 the Hutchioson News.
KINsLEY, Kan, July Pour orig
inal package houses started in kins-
lev ia the balmy month of June, but
as the heated term wakes Eotter AID
hotter before reaching the meridians
the package houses shrivel and wither,
Ike weeds by the way side,- when ex-
posed to the searching rays of public
censure and indignation. Package
houses do not thrive in Kinsley. Pub
lie opinion is too strong against them;
they are SO completely boycotted that
they must of i necessity go down for
want of patronage. The strong and
prevailing sentiment of law and order,
morality, prohibition and decency Is
incompatible with such institutions
The church and Christian influence,
backed by the determined resistance
of business men, is proving to much
for the s.supreme court saloon" a man
loses caste if seen going from the di-
rection of the package house with a
Suspicious package under his arm, and
il is a sure dead-fall for any aspirant
for political honors to pass an ''insti-
tuition and attempt an investigation
with one eye even.
Kinsley is, and always was opposed
to anything other than straight prohi-
bition, and will remain so to the end.
1t is rumored that unless these places
are soon closed by lack of patronage,
that the ladies of Kinsiey, aided aud
supported by the churches and minis
tiers, will begin an active crusade. and
by force of arms put stop to the ne
farious traffic that is filling our asy-
lums as well as our public offices with
iunebriateS

New Building for Colby,

For some time past it has been known
that Mrs. Catherine l.. Wording, widow
Of the late Judge Wording of Racine,
Wis, has by the terms of her will given
to Colby University a sum of money to
he used for the erection of a building
for the young ladies' of the university.
Mrs. Wording recently died in Boston In
a hospital, and although her will has not
yet been examined. it is understood that
the bequest is an assured thing, and the
money will presently be transferred to
Colby's treasury for the erection of an
other new building. At her death Mrs
Wording was ~ years of age. She was
a daughter of Samuel Lawrence, and was
married to Judge Wording in Meredith
Bridge, N. H., July II, 1889. An only
son died when eight years of age, at Ra.
cine, Wis. Th" remains of the deceased
have been transported to the West.

The margin of the Republican Lieut.
enant'Governor was only twenty-three
votes and the Democrats found this too
tempting plum to resist, especially AS
their number could be counted upon not
to hesitate at any steps necessary to get
around this majority. The statutes o..
Ohio clearly provided that when a State
office is contested the contest shall be
heard ny the Senate. The Senate haa
delegated to a committee consisting of
Ave Democrats and two Republicans the
task of summarizing dispositions. This
committee delegated the task to subcC IN
mlttee, and the subcommittee referred
the case to George l. Converse, attorney
for Mr. Marquis, who prepared a sum
mary of the dispositions on both sides at
his office. No Senator read the deposit
lions The report was handed to the
clerk and not even voted on. The Chair
refused members their Constitutional right
of protest, refused to allow the Offering
of a substitute report and refused to en-
terrain motion on appeal from the Re-
publican side of the Senate. The Senate
did not vote on the report. The Demo-
Gratis refused to be sworn, and then, to
cap the climax, Mr.. Converse proceeded
to read his own summary of the testi-
mony which was accepted by the vote of
the Democrats as evidence. The case
will be taken to the Supreme Court.

After short time spent in social con-

were served.
After doing ample justice to the supper
we repaired again to the parlors, where
another hour was passed in conversation,
singing by the company, and piano solos
by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Fletcher.
Our Master Hiram, on behalf of the
