What 1t Is, and Where and How IL I,
ODerated

What 1t Is, and Where and How 1t Is
Operated.
Il see blind tiger was raided in Salina.

it is possible for regular tiger to be
caught"
The speaker was Mr. Joseph G.. Chic. who
has just returned from several years resi-
dence IN Kansas, during which time he saw
great deal of the tiger" and the various
workings Of the prohibition law.
The tiger" he continued, SIS what is
known as a WHISKY joint and was con-
ceived to evade the prohibition law without
setting up drugstore as a cloak. The
man who runs the tiger the bartender.
occupies very small and secret Enclosure.
Into this place he takes q small quantity of
liquor, enough, possibly, to run half day.
but not so much that he cannot get it out of
sight In very few minutes in case the
officers appear on smelling tour. Nobody
ever sees the tiger and nobody ever
hears him. He can deliver his goods
from the 'front.'. back, top or bottom. by
slides IN the TWO former and by dummies
in the two latter cases. The dummy is
the most approved method of working.
From overhead the keeper of the place NAV
have living rooms, in which he can receive
visitors. These visitors are simply thirsty
customers OF the Tiger From the room in
which they are received dummy drops to
the tiger below. On it is placed an order
for what you want and the money necessary
to pay for it. The tiger never trusts. No
matter who you are you must put the money
on the slide, or dummy, or you will not re-
ceive any attention. Even the proprietor
follows this rule, aud his orders are never
flied unless they are accompanied by the
money.
There is no great necessity for the
tiger, though" continued the Kansan.

There never was 4 greater farce than pro-
hibtlon In almost every part of Kansas.
The number Of druggists is remarkab BILE. and
there are few of them who do not sell more
liquor than anything else, mainly on appli-
cations, but to some extent as st. Louis
bar-keeper would hand it over the bar.
To get it this way you must, of course,
be we'll known. | know one county in
Southwest Kansas where l have seen every

other place knew two druggists, and they

FOR THEIR SERVICES.
Gifts to the Chief Officers of the
Fourth Of July.

The Executive Committee OF the Fourth
of July celebration met last night In Parlor
A Of the Palace Hotel to receive final re-
ports and conclude the unfinished business
The various subcommittee were discharged
and were rendered votes of thanks for their
labor and trouble
financial statement was rendered, Show
ing that $1,000 had been received from the
Supervisors and S3S6l 10 collected by the
Finance Committee. The sum of $3.50 had
been expended for celebration purposes
and S4sS disbursed for necessary services,
leaving balance OF S5l5 20 in the hands of
the Treasurer.
1t was moved that $500 of the surplus
amount should ba divided equally between
Secretaries w. H. Reynolds and w, W.
Bausman.
DR.. Meyers asked what additional labors
the secretaries had performed emitting
them to remuneration. They had already
received S400 for their services, which COM
penSatOn he considered ample. During the
past month he could not believe that these
officials had earned each another 500 of
celebration funds.
W. J. Wynn supported the motion, adding
that the secretaries had been very busy
during the past 50 days strengthening up the
affairs of the Executive Committee and Of
the various subcommittee.
The motion was adopted, Dr. Meyers
alone voting in the negative. The question
rs TO the disposition of the remaining
S315 20 then presented itself, and DR..
Meyers sarcaStically moved that this fur
ther amount he donated to the secretaries.
adding that "if this gift should be consid-
cred insufficient collectors might be sent
out to obtain special contributions for the
poor secretaries"
Chairman Ruef suggested that the amount
be divided between the Children's Home,
the Rescue Home for Fallen Women and
the Boys and Girls Aid Society, but the
committee unanimously adopted Eugene +.

widow OF Fireman Hunt, who died from

suitably John G. Quinn, in the name of the
Grand Marsha's staff and aids, presented
Eugene T. Bert with another gold watch,
the facsimile of that given t, the President
OF the Day. Mr. Bert delivered neat
speech, thanking the donors, and then the
