Liquor Crusaders.

Druggists. Are Held to Answer for
Liquor Purchased by Rev. Charles
MI. sheldon and Others.

Druggists. Are Held to Answer for
Liquor Purchased by Rev. Charles
nj. sheldon and Others.
The first effects of Rev c. M. Shell
don's crusade against club and drugstore
abuse of the liquor law in Topeka, were
made manifest today.
Inf0rmatfons were filed in the district
clerks office this morning against Lee
Jones, druggist, at 339 Kansas avenue,
and Fred Holler, druggist, at 230 Kansas
avenue. Papers were served on Lee
Jones before noon. and it is expected
that Fred Holler will be arrested on the
strength of the informations before the
day is over.
There are two different counts against
Holler. The information shows that Mr..
Sheldon and A G. Carruth went into the
store and bought three bottles of beer for
10 cents. Mr.. Carruth signed the blank
but it was not filled out in his presence
and he was not made to swear to it. Here
also, they witnessed the sale of a pint of
whisky for 80 cents without the blank
being signed.
There is only one information against
Lee Jones, as follows:
son Saturday, June %, Mr. A G. Car
ruth, friend and myself went into the
drug store of Lee Jones. The friend
asked Mr.. Jones for pint of whisky.
Jones gave our friend pint of whisky
oA0 OdA AAA0AA paul OuCS " C0ubS there"
for. The friend made no statement I'M
der the prohibitory law for this whisky.
The drug store is situated on Kansas
avenue between Third and Fourth
streets, very near the corner of Fourth.
[Signedl &C. M. SHELDON"
The result of the informations is liable
to be very serious to the druggists con-
cerned. Besides being liable to a heavy
fine and jail sentence, if they are found
guilty their permits from the probate
court to sell liquor will be revoked for a
period of five years. While the case is
pending it is probable that Probate Judge
Elliott will temporarily suspend their
permits to sell liquor.

PRESIDENT CLARK. SECRETARY BAER
Williston church and has ever since
been prominent in the society's work,
was vouchsafed the privilege of being
the first to sign this roll
It was not until August, 1881, that
the Christian Endeavor movement ex-
tended beyond the limits of Portland,
but its work there was so interesting
and 50 efficient as to attract the atten-
ton of a writer for Boston periodical.
In its columns he told the story of
Chow One Church Takes Care of It's
Young People . If 1000 wires had
been laid from Portland in 1000 direc-
tions, reaching to the uttermost parts of
the earth, and an electrical message
had been sent over each of them, the
result could not have been more in
teresting or more instantaneous. Every
where in the large cities and in the
remote hamlets Christian Endeayor
societies began to spring up. By the
beginning of 1890 there were IL, 013 So
cieties with 66, 900 members. In 1891
there were rising of Is, 900 societies.
with more than 1 900, 900 members; in
1892, Is, 500 societies, with LOO, 900
members; in 1898, between 21, 900 and
%, 900 societies, with nearly l, 400, 600
members have not the figures for this
year at hand, but it is stated that the in
crease has gone bravely on and that the
army of Christian Endeavorers is larger
and more enthusiastic than ever before.
The nature of the society's aims and
work is too we'll understood by this
time to make it necessary to go into de-
tails regarding it here, for Christian
Endeavor societies are to be found ev-
erywhere. 1t is probably not too much
to say that it would be difficult to get
100 young people of the better sort to-
gether in many places in the United
States without including some who be-
long to the order. This fact cannot be
paralleled with regard to any other re-
hgious organization.
More than that the Christian En-
deavor society has extended far beyond
the lines that separate this republic
from the rest of the world 1t is to be
found in Canada and in Mexico and
across seas in Europe, under the burning
sun of Africa, by the rushing waters of
the Ganges and upon the shores of the
China sea. In Brazil and Argentine, in
Cuba and Chile, in Australia and New
Zealand, in Samoa, in New Guinea, in
practically every land where Christian
lty has made its way at all, there also
has the Christian Endeavor society tax
en- root.
To the Rev. Francis z. Clark, u. D.,
the present president: John Willis Baer,
the general secretary, and William
Shaw, the treasurer, falls the distinction
of being the leading executive officers
of the most extensive and the most well
beloved religious organization now in
existence. What it's ultimate strength
and influence will amount to no person
may foretelL

ing. On Wednesday, the 18th, at noon,
there will be a preliminary meeting of
the board of trustees for prayer, confer
ence and transaction of business. In
the evening, by which time it is expect
ed most of the delegates will have ar
rived, 10 of the largest churches of
Cleveland will be open for the holding
of Is simultaneous meetings. These
will be addressed by some of the most
interesting speakers in the United
States, including Rev. George Dana
Boardman of Philadelphia, Bishop Sam
uel Fallovs of Chicago, Anthony Com
stock of New York, Rev John Henry
Barrows of Chicago, Rev. Teunis Ham
lin of Washington, Rev. p. S. Hanson of
Chicago, Mrs. I. NJ Alden (Pansy) of
Germantown, Pa, and many others
equally we'll known, including represent
atives from the Y. M. G. A, the Broth
erhood of Andrew and Philip, the Chris
tian Endeavor work among the life saw
ers and lighthouses, the Travellers I'm
ion of Christian Endeavor and the
Floating Societies of Christian En-
deavor.
1t will be seen that the work will be
unusually broad this year, and the prom
Use in that direction foreshadowed by
the variety of speakers at the Wednesday
evenings meeting is amply borne out by
the remainder of the programme. The
address of welcome will be made in the
Saengerfest building on Thursday morn
ing by Governor Mckinley on behalf Of
the state and by Rev. J. 2. Tyler on be-
half of city pastors and the committee
of 1894, while the response for the En-
deavorers will be made by Rev. f. r.
Ollie, ID. D., of San Francisco. The
same afternoon there will be denomina-
tional rallies in the churches of the city.
The evening meetings that day Will
be held in the Saengerfest building and
a huge tent to be erected for the occa-
sion. Special subjects have been chosen
for discussion on Friday and Saturday
mornings, the first being ''G3od Cit.
zenship'' and the second international
and nterdenominational Fellowship >
These meetings will be held both in the
tent and the Saengerfest, as it is expected
that the attendance will be too large for
either to hold, and will be opened by
free parliarnents. - Each afternoon
there viii be addresses delivered by lead
ing lights, ON Friday evening there will
also be addresses, and on Saturday even
ing receptions and rallies of states, ter
ritorial and provincial delegations will
be held in churches used as headquar-
