Resolutions were also adopted deplor-

BOUND TO SUPPRESS WHISKY,
n the Town Died of the OPERATION
Legal Loophole Found.

II the Town Died of the Operation-A
Legal Loophole Found.
Mrs. Paxton was implored to "let up"
on the crusade business or the town would
be ruined. But that was not what she
was there for and she said she would
break up the whisky traffic if all the other
trade in the city went with it. To show
that she was in earnest she deputized a
special squad of police and started to
close every place which sold whisky.
In order to keep them them closed, she
gave the order to smash all barrels and
bottles and nail up the doors of the places.
This brought matters to crisis with a
vengeance, for the cattlemen swore that
they would never trade in such town,
and the merchants got a lawyer, who
found that kiowa had no ordinance pro-
hibiting the sale of liquors, consequently
the mayor had no right to close the sa-
looms The result of this opinion was
that the "joints" went to the opposite ex-
IRENE and now run with their doors wide
open.
Even Her Husband Recreant.
But the business men did not stop here.
They had enough. and they wanted a
mayor who wore trousers and wore them
tucked in the tops of his boots So they
circulated petition calling upon Mrs.
Paxton to resign, and in a short time
they had the signature Of every man in
the town on it. Even Mrs. Paxton's
husband signed the paper, and his name
led all the rest. This document was pre-
scented to the mayor by committee of tie
most courageous citizens. They called at
her Office in an annex to the kitchen of
her husbands home and laid the petition
upon the desk before her. Then they
fed What action she will take is not
known, but it is hoped that she may be in
duced to quit.
Will Fight 1t Out on That Line.
The whole town is in open revolt and
the men say they have had enough wom-
ans foolishness and will run the place to
suit themselves hereafter; but Mrs Pax
ton is the legal mayor and is backed up
by the whole strength of the W. c. 7. U.
She says she will fight the matter through
as long as she is mayor, and will not
resign. The men have rather the best of
1t at present, but Mrs Paxton has written
to the governor and attorney general, and
will follow their advice Her husband
has not been home since signing the pc
tition, but az she depends on him for sup
port it is thought she will resign rather
than stand the chances of divorce suit.

HAD A DEAL OF FUN
A Kansas Town Plays a Joke
on Itself.
TRIAL OF PETTIooAT GOVERNMENT.

A Woman Elected Mayor by "the Boys"
and the Jokers Have a Chils on the
Cold Day When the Lady Begins War
on Whisky-Petitioned to Resign, She
Refuses, Although Her Husband Is on
the List, Together with Every Other
Man in the Town.
KIowA, Kan, Oct. I0.-The male popu-
lation of this city has grown tired
OF petticoat rule, and every man in the
place has signed a petition calling on the
lady mayor to resign. Last spring the
people of this city thought it would be
fine thing to fall in line and advertise the
place by electing a woman for mayor.
kiowa needed advertising and the boys
needed fun, so the wires were pulled and
Mrs. Mary + Paxton, the wife of prom
inent merchant, was selected as the lady
upon whom the honor should fall. Mrs.
Paxton said nothing when the news was
brought tina: her name had been placed
on the ticket, but when it was also told
that the "boys" were having deal of fun
over her name her eyes snapped and her
lips were firmly set as she said they
would have more fun than they bar
gained for before they got through with
her.
Cold Day for the Jokers.
Now, Mrs. Paxton was aud is a strong
temperance woman and is a prominent
and active member of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, and when
the news of the fun" the boys were hav-
ing reached her ears she donned her bon
net and went on a still hunt and called
upon her fellow members to go to work.
The result was that Kiowa cast the heav-
lest vote in her history, and Mrs. Paxton
was elected by big majority. 1t was
supposed, of course, that she would re-
sign and the joke was considered the best
of the season. But Mrs. Paxton did not
come OF resigning family. On the con-
trary, she saw that the greatest oppor-
tunity of her life had come and she
grasped it with such a tenacity that the
jokers had a chill
Made War on the Joints
Mrs Paxton lost no time, but when the
night came for qualifying she was on
hand and took the oath with determine
ton that BODIED i'll for those who VIOLA
ted the law. Kiowa is in the heart of a
big cattle country and the trade of the
town is largely Dope ndent upon the cat
tlemen and cowboys Cattlemen and cow
boys like whisky, and when they go to
town the ardent" is considered part of
the necessary refreshments which they
must purchase. When Mrs Paxton be-
gan her rule her first move was to start
war on every saloon in the city. She was
vigorous, and when she found that con-
stable or marshal was prone to be slow in
following her orders she would deputize
another and go ahead. Her vigorous war
fare on the 'joints" at last became so OBJ
noxious to the cattlemen that their trade
was detected, and the merchants began
to complain of hard times.

He Appears at the Scene of His Rascality
After Fifteen Years Absence.
CINCINNATI, Oct. l0-"Charles Cist is
alive and in CINCINNATI" was the startling
statement that came from the court house
Thursday night. Fifteen years ago Cist
was the leading real estate lawyer of the
city, probably of the state. His clients
were rich and numerous and large sum s
were often intrusted to him. One day he
fled the city, a defaulter as well as heavy
debtor. The amount of his obligations
was never definitely known, but was
placed as high as 800, Detectives
followed him to Australia, but there the
clew was lost. Cist went to the court
house to see former creditor and
thought his long, gray hair and beard
and SLOUGH hat would sufficiently dis
guse him. But mere accident brought
him face to face with an old attorney who
recog nized him.
Been Hiding at Chicago.
Cist consented to give an outline of his
life for the past fifteen years. After 60
ing round the world he returned to Chi
cago, where he remained until last spring,
when ex-Presicenu Hayes and Ex-Governor
Hoadly, who had been his warm friends
in other days, undertook to straighten
out affairs and did it so successfully that
all claims We're adjusted and Cist was
brought to this city and given a place in
the Old Mems home without either press
or public getting the slightest hint of the
matter. Cist is greatly changed and
broken down and will not be prosecuted
or molested il any way.
