AND THE COCK CREW.

1t is asserted that it is the history Of
every community where the prohibit
tory liquor law has been sought to be
enforced that hypocrisy and perjury
have been superfnduced. A striking
illustration, and which everyone pres
ent keenly felt, occurred in the district
court room, in this city, last week.
when several bottles of liquor were un-
cOrked and passed around for the jury,
attorneys and officers to inspect, smell
or taste as they preferred. Notwith-
standing it was the prescribed bever-
age that was being then and there in
hibited, everybody smiled and made
jocular remarks on the side. Two

KANSAS CrrY,s wsINE

| The Kansas City Journal criuciZes
| such Kansas papers as have been ad-
| vising their home readers against
| snending their time and money in pat
| ronizipg the .Karnival Krewe.' what
! ever that may mean. The Journal
| pIaintively asks "why should theSpeO-
pie of the surrounding country not
! leave their homes at least once an
nually:" We know of no reason If
! they can afford it But why they
should go to Kansas City? Thousands
| of Kansas people have been dumped
| into Kansas City the past season by
Sunday railway excursions. which eX-
| cursiOns while wholly in the interest
of that Missouri town, were at the eX-
pense Of decency and morality of Kan
sas people. Ten thousand Kansas
people. mostly young people from
south Kansas. were landed in Kansas
City on a single Sabbath day OF a
late date. These people. for the most
part rode ell Saturday night to get
there and Sunday night in returning
home, spending the Sabbath in patron
iZing the hacks, street railways, res
taurants. hotels and saloons of Kansas
City. Why should they? What OBJ
lection can there be in a Kansas paper
advising its readers not tomake fools of
themselves? The ''karnival Krewe'
scheme is a fake to catch Kansas
suckers. Kansas City will have
registering spree at the expense of Kan
saS people. If Kansas people should
refuse to attend and put up," the fool
Karnival Krewe would fall very fiat
and the Missouri town would be left
to foot its own bills, for Missouri peO-
pie will not be there The Journal
winds up with the whine that the pa
pers referred to are Kansas City's
debtors. We can only answer for one
If the Eagle owes Kansas City any
thing in the way of courtesy, consider
alton, credit, or what not we are not
aware of ii, in any other sense than
that with the rest of the state we be- !
long to that Missouri town. or rather /
that we with the people of Kansas ap- !
preciate, keenly. that this state is only !
permitted to exist in the interest of /,
Kansas City, Missouri, so permitted
by the grace of the Missouri river traf- |
fic assertion, the members of which |
trust have no higher conception of /
commerce than to sit around and figure |
against the business interests of the !
Kansas towns along their respective !
lines, by fixing such freight rate sched-
ules as will force everything to Kan
sas City, including Kansas people who
may desire days recreation.
The Journal need waste no tears
about the people of Kansas coming to
see its fool crew. They will be on
hand and will put up for the fun. At
any rate they will not be permitted to
go anywhere else. It's Kansas CITY
or nowhere, not only for "day off,
for the Kansan, but it's Kansas City
for his hogs and his corn and all that
he has.
As proof of how thoroughly Kansas
City is convinced that she owns Kan
sas, we quote single paragraph from
the same number of the Journal. For
gall and brass the sucking dove is no
longer in it. Read:

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Human blood
was found today in Holmes castle,
despatched from one room to an
other. Science aided Detectives FitZ-
patrick and Norton where other
agencies had failed, and uncovered
more startling evidence against
Holmes and Quinlan than has yet
been found in the castle. There was
found in the castle, by the detectives
and a medical expert, a trail of
blood leading from the doorway Of
the dining room of Mrs. Julia l..
Conner to the sink in the same room;
from there into the dark chamber
where she and Pearl slept, and from
there to the inside of the door open
ing into the bath room, where the
secret trap door was located, and
down the secret staircase which led
to the false elevator shaft and thence
into the basement. The blood was
human. A clot of blood mixed with
human hair was found. Also from
the debris in the dark chamber,
where mother and child slept, there
was taken some child's underwear
stained with blood; a pair of brown
diagonal trousers, stained at the bot
tom with blood; the pocket of a
woman's dress, blood soaked; a
handkerchief which had been used
to wipe up blood, and various clothes
and parts of Undertaking spotted
with blood. These articles were ex-
amined microscopically at the time
Of their discovery, and the tests
made then and there as to the
stains and blotches being human. A
rope was found in the rear chamber,
and on it's knots blood was discov-

In Pat Quin1an's private room were

ARE IN A HURRY.
Clint Niclxe1s and Mrs. Maud Gra-
ham OFF for EurODe

Clint NicEels and Mrs. Maud Gra-
ham Off for Europe.
Clint Nickells and his quondam wife,
Mrs. Maud Graham, will seek seclusion
in foreign cline, where better halls
that were cannot trouble with bad
wish or ill-repressed affection" the
course of their true love. The pair
passed through Minneapolis yesterday
en- route to New York from which port
they will sail for Europe. In New
York they will meet Maj. Bessey, of
Wahpeton, who will accompany them
across the water.
1t Is said the couple are in some
thing of hurry. The divorce secured
by Nickells, it is alleged, was pro-
cured through corrupt practices, Mrs.
Nickells' attorney failing to put in an
answer to the complaint made by
Nickells, without the knowledge of his
client. Mrs. Nickells is very much in
earnest in her determination to fight
the divorce, and has refused a large
offer of cash in hand to let things take
their course. She has also brought
damage suit of $4,000 against Mrs.
Graham for alternating her husbands
affections, and as Mrs. Graham has a
nice little fortune, she and Clinton
would be greatly embarrassed by an
order from the courts to fork over a
slice of it. Therefore they will adopt
France as a country.
The fleeing lovers appear to have the
wherewithal to pay Their way, as Nick
ellis flashed $4,000 roll on Agent Rus
sell, of the Wisconsin Central, in
manner to incapacitate that official for
the rest of the day.
The relations between Nickells and
Mrs. Graham are well known in Min
neapolis. Graham had the pair ar
rested, but proceedings in the case
stopped suddenly and the two went
to Wahpeton. Finally, Mrs Graham
got a divorce, Nickells thought he had
done the same. and then they were
married. Mrs. Nickells took the mat
ter to the supreme court of North Da-
kota, and that august bench decided
that Nickells was much mistaken. 1t
can easily be seen that complications
nave arisen which a continued alb
sence in a foreign land can remedy
better than anything else.
