30 ARE DRUGGISTS.
Of the Rest All Have Been
Pulled and Closed
Except About Twenty Still on
the Police List.

The statement published by the papers
over the state that there are 79 joints in
Topeka has been rolled as a sweet NOR
sci under the tongues of whiskyites in
the saloon towns.
Some one looked up the records in the
office of the collector of internal revenue
IN Leavenworth and said that there were
10 joints in Topeka which have licenses
to sell liquor
By a careful examination of the records
by JOURNAL reporter it was found that
there are really 81 names on the books
of people who have licenses to sell
liquor of different kinds. This includes
the legitimate drug stores as we'll as
jointists who operated here under Chief
Lindsey and Gov Lewelling, but who
have since been driven out of the city.
Captain Gardiner, of the police force.
made q careful examination of the list
and found less than twenty who could
not be accounted for; and they soon will
be- He thought that most of them we're
men who went out of business when they
found out that the law would be en-
forced.
Following the list of those which are
new to the police:
w. NJ, Leslie, j. Sierer, the Scandina-
Wan Beneficial society, the latter has two
licenses, which Indicate that there are
two places by that name in the city;
John Steinrauf, Mechanics union; B. F.
Morrow, W. r. Moody, w. F. Niece,
James Owen, w. F. Vanscriver, R, A.
Coon, Dibble & Sons, German-American
| Laborers Aid and Relief society, Chas
/. Greenwald, L. Greenmore, N. G. Cave
! and NJ. E. Dowing.
There is a club in the block just east
of the avenue on Seventh street, which
is believed to be the Mechanics Union,"
but there are two licenses, and there
must be another place in some other part
of the city but the police know nothing
about it,
The following people can all be ac-
counted for:
