THE CIDER Is RAGING.
The Large Amount of Drunken
ness is Caused by Cider.
IT IS FAR MORE POTENT THAN BEER

Samples of the Article Sold on the
streets show and He Per Cent of
AlcOhOl-SeveraI Arrests Made.
The police have been puzzed for
long time to account for a peculiar state
of affairs in relation to the enforcement
of the prohibitory law in Topeka The
sale of beer has been stopped
altogether. Whisky can be obtained
only in the legitimate manner at
the drugs stores. There has been
no bogus hop-tea on the market Yet
notwithstanding this the visible supply
of DRINKS has not decreased.
1t has been an easy matter for anyone,
even strangers in town, to get drunk on
short notice, and even the regular old
topers have had no difficulty in getting
all they wanted to drink.
Chief Wilkerson concluded that there
was some strong, powerful beverage on
the market that they knew not of. He
Jumped at the conclusion that this article
was labeled cider" and ne was right
The first step towards finding out the
ability of this cider to intoxicate, was to
have a chemical analysis made of it.
Samples were secured at number Of
cider Joints and taken TO Hrot LoVeWeIl
of Washburn college for analysis.
The result was far more startling than
the chief or anyone else had expected.
The analysis showed the stuff to be
stronger than beer in the amount Of al
chohoI contained. The limit under the
prohibitory is ~ per cent. The Topeka
cider contains from z to 10 per cent al
cohol. The mystery was solved, and the
police found out where all the DRINKS
came from.
1t is said that pint of Topeka cider
will go farther than a whisky cocktail
towards getting the customer off his feet,
and that small outlay will secure
greater results than any liquor ever in
vented.
AS fast as an analysis is made that
shows too great a percentage of
alcohol, and they all have so far
a warrant is issued for the person sell
ing it, charging him with selling liquor.
The first one of these warrants was
served this morning on C. Curtis, who
manufactures cider south of town and
supplies other dealers with the stuff.
shortly after, Captain Gardiner arrested
E Philbert, who was selling some OF the
CIDER from a covered wagon on Kansas
avenue. There are four more warrants

JOHN MARTINS TRIP.
The Ex-senator Went West to
Build a Railroad.
In INTERESTS OF HIS CANAL COMPANY
The Proposed Road viii Hum from
salt Lake City to the Mexicau Line.

The Proposed Road VIII Hum from
salt Lake City to the Mexicau Line.
When ex- United States Senator John
Martin left Topeka last week for Cali
fornia he did not say he was going out
there to build railroad but that seems
to have been the object of his trip.
Mr.. Martin is president of the Hudson
Reservoir and Canal company of Arizona
and few days ago he held a conference IN
SanFrancisco with Col. Wells Hendershot,f
attorney for the Arizona Central rail
way, d. l. Wiley, ex-surveyor general OF
California, and party of San Francisco
and Salt Lake Capitalists who are inter-
ested IN the proposed railroad
The route of Senator Martins pro-
posed railroad is said to be as follows: 1t
will commence at the north at Salt Lake
city, using the Utah Southern, or part
of the Denver 81 Rio Grande Gf suitable
arrangements can be made therefor),
running south, crossing the Little Colo
RADIO river near the line between Utah
and Arizona at Lees Ferry, continuing
south, crossing the Atlantic 81 Pacific at
Flagstaff and from Flagstaff the most
direct route to the diversion dam of the
Hudson Reservoir and Canal company at
the intersection of the Salt and Verde
rivers, and from that point to Nogales on
the Mexican line.
Leaving the point of the diversion
dam, above mentioned, it will follow the
line of the main canal of the Hudson
Reservoir and Canal company west to
the Colorado river, terminating at or near
Yuma, and connecting with a railroad
from San Diego
The Central Arizona company, it is
said, has fifteen miles Of track laid and
twenty miles further graded. 1t owns
the right ofway along the bank of the
canal contemplated" by the Hudson Ca
nal company
The people along the route of the pro-
posed railroad are said to be very much
interested in Senator Martins scheme.

man who knows all about drinks
said to a JOURNAL reporter today:
81 have gone against nearly every
kind of a drink or mixture that bar
tender can concoct, but l have never
found anything yet that equalled
Topeka cider for results. It's a case OF
instantaneous relief, and snakes are
guaranteed with every bottle. No mat
ter how lowly or down on his luck man
may be, let him take a drink or two of
Topeka cider and he wouldn't trade his
prospects for Charley Curtis, and he feels
able to whip the whole national guard.
If man isn't used to it he'd better crawl
into box and nail himself in before he
tries it.

singing like an adder, this stuff bites

thoughts are all pied and all day you
feel like the clouds had parted and you

Rev. Mr.. Rhodes Criticised Governor Nor
riIl. and He Sticks to 1t.
Rev. L. NJ. Rhodes, pastor of the Meth
odist church in North Ottawa, who was a
supporter of Governor Morrill, during the
last state campaign, in recent sermon
severely criticised the governor for his
attitude on the question of prohibition.
The next day the Republican politi-
clans of his town took Rev. Mr. Rhodes
to task for his sermon, upon which Mr..
Rhodes at once replied that he had a
right to say what he pleased.
He then said that during the campaign
last fall he received a letter from Major
Morrill,, in which he promised. if elected
governor, TO enforce all the laws.
Rev. Mr.. Rhodes said that it was his
understanding that the prohibitory law
was still on the statute book.

COLE WON'T AUDIT THEM.
If the Lane County Bonds arc Not Legal
He'll Not Register Them.


He'll Not Register Them.
The Lane county bonds which the
state school fund commissioners have or
dered purchased at par are net yet state
property, and the chances are good that
they will not be.
To STATE JOURNAL reporter today
Auditor of State George E. Cole said: 81
Will not register these bonds if they are
illegal, that is. if the indebtedness of
Lane county exceeds 10 per cent of the
assessed valuation
Auditor Cole said the bonds had not
yet been presented to him for registra-
ton, and that be had not yet made an in
vestigation as to their legality, but would
make thorough investigation when
they are presented, and the bonds will
not be registered unless they are found
to be all right
As the members of the school fund
commission who voted for the purchase
admit that the debt of Lane county is in
excess of the 10 per cent limit it is rea-
sonably certain that the Lane county
bonds will never become state property
The state treasurer will refuse to pay
out the money for the bonds unless they
are registered by the auditor, but if they
are properly registered he will be com
PEELED to accept them and pay out the
cash.
State Superintendent Stanley did not
vote for the purchase of the Lane coun-
ty bonds. but he urged the purchase of
S120,U00 worth of Riley county bonds,
which were contracted for at the same
time, and which he says was bargain
for the state.
