NOT VALID
A Provision of the Kansas Prohibition Law
Declared Uncon stit utional -

Declared Uncon Institutional -
TOPEKA. Kan, Oct.6.-An important
decision was handed down by the su-
preme court yesterday involving the val
idity of one section of the prohibitory
law. The law of 1889 conferred upon the
police officers the authority to enter any
place where it was thought liquor was
being sold and make arrests without q
warrant. Under this section policemen
have been in the habit of entering places
which had fallen under suspicion and ar
resting whom ever they caught in appar-
ent possession of the place.
I he court holds that this section, in so
far as it auth orizes arrests for misde-
meanors not committed in view of the
officer, is unconstitutional and void.

Late Literary News,

Fiction and travel are the strong
points Of the September Cosmopolitan,
which, by the way, illustrates better than
any previous number the perfection of
it's plant for printing magazine of the
highest class. Conan Doyle, II. H.
Boyesen, and Clark Russell are among
the story-tellers. A well-known New
York lawyer relates the story Of "a
Famons Crime"-the murder OF DIR.
Parkman by Prof. Webster. A delight
full sketch Of "An English Country House
Party" is from the pen of Nina Larre
Smith-the house at which she visited
being no less than the historic Abbots-
ford, still occupied by the direct de-
soendents of Sir Walter Scott. "Tho
Realm of tho Wonderful is descriptive
of the strange forms of life discovered by
science in the oceans depths, and is su-
perbly illustrated in surprising and
marvellous way by the author, who is on
the Smithsonian staff. An article on Cuba
is timely. Without bothering the reader
with unnecessary description OF the FAM
GUS yachts now SO much talked of, tho
Cosmopolitan presents four full-page il
lustrations showing these noted boats.
Thomas Moran again contributes a series
of tho most exquisite landscapes OF west
ern scenery, twelve in nu mber, illustrat-
ing an article by Col. John A. Cockerill
on Modern Utah." And it may be said
that no more beautifully illustrated mum,
Der OF The Cosmopolitan has ever been
given to the public.

Good Financial Advice.

If we have any neighborly feeling, If
we have any sentiment OF mutual regard
and benevolent interest, let us not reserve
it for display at somebody's funeral, or
publish it in resolutions OF regret, but
make it actively manifest here and now.
Let us concentrate our efforts ut this
time in the one purpose Of mutual assist
ance. In doing SO we cannot help each
other to better effect than to hasten the
circulation of money. We are past the
worst part of the hard times and there
are better things already in sight, and
now the main difficulty is in tho slowness
of collections. 1t keeps everything else
back. Make every dollar move. Give it
a shove and hurry it from hand to hand.
Every dollar counts. II you owe bill
and can possibly pay it let not the sun go
down upon your debt.-Chieftain

of fruit which will be good enough to
convince the most skeptical that Colo
RADIO is fruit state. Exhibits will be
sent from all the fruit growing districts,
and the display promises to be of great
interest to all who care anything about
horticulture. Otero county should make
an exhibit at this exposition. At the
close of the Fair the fruits on exhibition
should be preserved as the basis for our
