THE "OnIGINAL PACKAGE"

Attorney General kellogg has is
sued a letter of instruction to county
attorneys in answer to an inquiry as
TO the status of The state prohihitory
liquor law since the passage by con-
grcss of the Wilson bill. The attor-
general says:
IL have carefully examined the ques-
ton and am satisfied that no legisla-
ton will he needed in Kansas in or
der to make the law effective. The
Wilson bill provides, in substance,
that all intoxicating liquors transport
ed into any state or territory, or re-
naming therein for use, consumption,
sale or storage. shall Immediately up
on arrival in the state or territory he
subject to the operation and effect Of
the laws of such state or territory. The
prohibitory law of this state is in full
effect US a continuing statute. 1t was
duly enacted in the exercise of the po-
lice powers of the state. In the case
Of Mulger VS. Kansas, 123, Z. S. 623,
its constitutionality as proper exer-
else of the police power was upheld By
the supreme court of the United States.
No additional legislation by the state
of Kansas is needed TO make the Will
son bill operative or to render the pro-
hibiiory law of Kansas effective when
applied to the sales of intoxicating
liquors imported and sold in original
packages. The entire effect of the
Wilson bill is simply TO subject such
liquors to the laws OF the state to the
same extent and in the same manner
as though such liquors had been pro-
luced in the state and had never been
The subject of any Interstate COM
merce. The state of Kansas is placed
back in the situation in which it was
prior 10 that decision. BY that de-
:ision sales Of liquor in original pack
lges' were excepted from the opera
ions of our prohibitory law, and by
his act of congress such exception is
emoved. The prohibitory law will
pply to imported liquor in original
,ackagcs,' the same as to other intox-
eating liquor from and after the TAX

house. You never hear what is be-

the family, but if you are very dear
friend, or if you are ever with her in
great sorrow, she may some day tell

during the year in every household
that are not celebrated, but the m0lh-
err remembers them and when toward
the close OF the day she locks herself
up in her room, to appear a few hours
later with paler, hut more peaceful
face, the members of the family re-
member that the day is the annivcr-
sary of the baby's death, and know
that their mother has been looking in

Wilson County Cilizen: Thousands
Of farmers assert and believe that q
combination controls and fixes the
price of cattle because cattle are low
in the markets where such stock is
bought, slaughtered and packed, and
either doubt or deny that the supply
has little to do with the low price at
which they have been selling for the
last few years. Everybody knows
horses are even lower than cattle.
Why don't some one attribute the
cause to combination trusts or Inonop-
olies, the great political bugbears of
the present time? Why not advocate

1RL r.. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET


The following taken from the "storm
chart" for 1890 of Rev. Irl r. Hicks OF
St. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here are his predictions for
SEPTEMBER.
Active storm centers will form in
the western regions about the I'd aud
81 of September, and during the 4th,
9th aud 9Th, will travel TO the cast.
Many sections will get rain about
these days. Also, about the 10th and
1lth rains, followed by cool, north
erly winds may be expected. From
the 18th 10 18th, heavy storms with
dangerous, eqninociial gales along
seas and coasts are to be feared.
Earthquakes at this period In addi-
tloh to storms need not surprise. As
the equinox of Mercury falls on the
2lst, aud the earth at the same lime,
violent movements of meteorological
elements generally will be the natural
result about the 2lst aud 22d. The
last period for September will be from
the 26lh 10 last. Cool weather with
frost In the north, Is likely TO follow
The storms Of the last two periods.
Watch.
