Leavenworth. Kan, July 30-Leaven
worth is bordering on terrific prohi-
bition war. The sOwD is almost a unit
against prohibition and consequently
the citizens here are ready to go into
Mysteries. At the same time Andy
Felt of Atchison bobs' up with some sen
sational testimony. Recently it was
charged that the people of Leaven-
worth would run on Governor Morrilrs
bank in Leavenworth If he tries to close
the joints. Governor Eskridge of the
Emporia Republican b randed this as a
lie and this is what An 1y Felt says:
within three days one of the most
reputable and well KIN own citizens of
Kansas, who is now and has been for
twenty years, a resident of Leaven-
worth, in response to inquiry from
the editor of the Chaml ,ion, in regard
TO the above story, repli, I'd uneQuivocal
" and without reserve, The story is
true.
He said there was no question about
Il and that he knew it tc, be true that
the reason why Leavenw'orth was eX-
empted from the orders of Governor
because of the understal lding that if
such an order was issued there would
be a fight on Governor Morrilfs bank
IF the Emporia Republican or the
governor of Kansas desire the name of
our informant il will be promptly fur
nished on application. We may add
that the gentleman referred to is fully
as well known in Kansas as the COVER

MRS. LEASES PLAN.
The Young Man Was Evidently Verdan
and She Picked it Up Herself

The Young Man Was Evidently yerdans
and She Picked it Up Herself
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease moved
superbly down Kansas avenue Yesterday
afternoon with her benign smile. She
also had with her at the time handsome
silk dress with ample sleeves aslarge
black hat and young man. The two
former were undoubtedly made to order
The last named was evidently a handme-
down just from the store He was
probably all right and good 'brother'
as Mrs. Lease would say but there were a
few little things he was not onto.
Mrs. Lease is one of the women that
attract attention whenever they appear
upon the street. She has earned it and
deserves If. You know you are looking
at no mere "person" when you suddenly
find yourself gazing after the erect
figure and graceful dignity of the KAN
sas feminine Demosthenes.
The young man at her side wasn't used
to that sort of a thing. He knew people
were looking at the couple of which he
was member, and he seemed to wish
his feet were smaller, and that he could
gracefully wear his hands in his pock-
cts. He wouldn't have minded wearing
a veil, but he hadn't one. and the embar-
rassed look in his eyes continued.
Mrs. Lease was doing most OF the talk
ing when she dropped one of her gloves.
She stopped. The young man walked
on two steps and stopped to look back
Mrs. Lease was looking first at the glove
and then at him. Other people were
looking at him. or he thought they were,
but he stood res olut ely still So did Mrs.
Lease. 1t was trying moment, but the
young man was not equal to it.
Mrs. Lease gave him three seconds of
grace, and then she stopped and pick ed
up the glove herself and the pair went
on.

THE PASSING SHOW.
The Comic Opera of 'Amorita' viii BE
Well Attended.

The Comic Opera of "Amorita'' Will BE
Well Attended.
The coming of the Calhoun comic
opera company to the Grand next Friday
night in "Amorita" is looked forward to
with considerable interest by the lovers
of comic opera in Topeka. 1t will be
the second of the year and is advertised
as containing fifty voices. The company
spent last week in Denver at the Tabor
Grand, the best house there, and received
great deal of applause from the press
at least. EAmorita' is described as a
very bright comic opera full OF humor
and catchy airs.
The date has not yet been arranged
for the Pat Rooney family. The Spoon
ers' engagement of one week at the
Grand will begin on May 18th and the
same old prices will prevail. The
Spooners have been making an eastern
tour this winter.
The Shaker Specially company con-
tinues to hold forth to large audiences
at ten cents head at the Crawford
house, and DR. Brownfield with u COM
pany OF fifty is at Hamilton hall -
The first tent show of the season will
be E'Josh Simpkins," a rural New En-
gland drama under canvas and the man
agement of the Crawford brothers. It
Will be on the vacant lot on Quincy
street, between Sixth and Seventh streets,
on the evening of Wednesday, May 1sL
There will be farmers band parade in
the day time and a balloon ascension
just outside the tent in the evening. Two
new members of the company arrived
from ST. Paul yesterday and one from
Salt Lake today.

GIVE WOMEN A CHANCE
Put One on the City Sanitary
Force.
SIZE WILL KEEP THINGS CLEAN.

Thousands OF Women Vote in City
Elections, but One Never Given an
Onfce-vVomen,D Demand Your Rights.
The women of Topeka have been
voting several years but they have never
yet asked for their share of the Offices.
Mayors have been elected with their as
sistance. but when the offices were ap-
portioned the women have always been
left out They did not ask for repr esen-
tation and of course did not get it.
But now there Is woman applicant
for position under Mayor Fellows. She
wants one of the positions on the sani-
tary force. Her name is Mrs. DR. Amelia
Kerr and if she is appointed she will be
the best educated member on the force,
for she is graduate of Ann Arbor. DR..
Kerr's petition has been signed by most
of the members of the Equal Suffrage
association.
There is no reason why a woman can
not do the work of sanitary officer as
we'll as a man and when the woman is a
practicing physician it only adds to her
qualifications and she would probably
do better in looking after the health of
the city than some ward heeler or Doliti-
cal striker.
There will be at least five sanitary Of
fcers appointed and probably more and
if the women have representative on
tho force they will be satisfied. The
salary is $50 u month and frequently the
officers do little else than draw their SAL

He VIII Sell His Home But Will Buy a
Smaller One in Topeka.
While it is true that Elk Congressman
Thomas Ryan has advertised his hand
some dwelling at the corner of Topeka
avenue and Huntoon streets, for sale,
and is himself together with his wife
out of the city for rather indefinite
period, it does not mean that ne has left
Topeka -
Alr. Ryan is just now in Elmira, New
York, where ne is closing up some bust
ness affairs for the Mutual Life Insur
ance company. His wife is there with
him.
MIR. Ryan's purpose in selling his house
is that his family is now small. the chill
dren having grown up and established
homes of their own, and he does not con-
slider so large a house necessary for the
comfort of only himself and wife. He
will sell the house and buy smaller one
in Topeka, to which he will return and
reclaim his residence as soon as his pres
ent business affairs will permit

BLACK CAT TROUBLES.
Old Aunt Sa1lie Ruthford Wants Her
Cat Protected From Assassins.


Cat Protected From Assassins.
'AAunt Sallie" Ruthford has big black
Thomas cat and it has been making
great deal of trouble of late The black
cat is a becoming companion for the old
woman who owns it. She is a colored
woman, relic of slavery, and she lives
in little howell all by herself on Bu-
chanan street Nobody knows how old
s'Aunt Sallie" RuIhford is, or how much
money she has Her wealth is consider
able however, since she has $500 deposit
ed In the First National bank. and one
man alone owes her $500; and tAunt
SaIlie" seems to be able to allow him to
owe her that much.
Nevertheless old Aunt Sallie is not
content to fold her arms and pass her
declining years in moderate ease. Every
day when she hasn't small job of wash
ing or ironing on hand she is around in
! the alleys clad in IL sunbonnet and shawl,
looking the typical beggar searching
for old rags and old shoes
But this has nothing to do with the
big black cat. Like most people who
own cats Aunt Saliie has neighbors.
Bndd Hamilton and Bill 6paulding are
among them. These young men claim
that the cat not only keeps them awake
at night but kills their chickens. Once
they threatened to take the cats Ii ne
lives or as much thereof as might be nee
| essary.
This threat has worried on Aunt Sal
lie. She brooded over the possible loss
of her pet and worried herself almost to
madness. In the past two or three days
| she has been to see nearly all the officers
of the criminal and civil court She
doesn't know much about law and hardly
knows whether she wants to enjoin Ham
ilton or Spaulding from killing the cat,
or put them under peace bond.
She closed the day yesterday at the
office of Deputy City Attorney W. l.
Jamison.

Spring GOODS.

The more thoroughly you become
acquainted with this store the bet
ter it is for you. We are able,
through our enormous cash pur-
chases, to put before you all lines
of goods at smaller price than
any one in this western country.
Our great outlet enables US to offer
you such assortments as is impos-
sible tofind west of Chicago. These
are the two great reasons why it is
to your interest to trade here. You
know that the day anything clever
or taking in any line is brought out
in the East, that same idea or ar
ticle is finding its way West to us.
Our buyers are constantly on the
alert to pick up the bright new
ideas. We've assembled this spring
under our roof the greatest assert
ment of Spring Goods we've ever
habitat is saying great deal,
for in the past we've had some mag
nificent stOcks-but those of the
past are not to be compared to the
ones of the present.
That goods are cheaper this year
than ever before you know-it re-
mains for us to tell you that you'll
be greatly surprised to know how
many goods can be bought here at
a half and a little over of what they
should be.
Not a day passes but there are
Especial sales" on scores of articles.
This means-nO matter what day
you come to town, there's money
to be saved by coming.
Do you realize the great convent
ence and saving of time it is to be
able to get everything under one
roof? Have you ever stopped to
think how long it would take you
to do your shopping if you had to
60 to this store for one article and
to that one, three, perhaps half a
dozen, blocks away for another?
and so on. And again-you need
not even leave the store for lunch
con, for there's the new "Tea
Room" Impossible to get a dain-
tier lunch or have it better served
and you know, too, that the
prices are very moderate.
Now when you want anything
and can't get it in your own city
then come to us-bring your wants
to US and let us satisfy them. We
can do it-you know that.
If you want an interesting book,
then send for our illustrated 1873

| SURE 1T WAS .DURRANT.
A Man Found Who Says He Saw Durrant
at the Church Gate.

A Man Found Who Says He Saw DUrrant
at the Church Gate.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23-When the
preliminary examination of w. II. T..
DHrrant, the medical student accused of
outraging and then ferociously murder
ing Miss Marion Williams, in Emanuel
Baptist church, on the night of April H.
is resumed this morning, there will be a
new witness, who will give most dam
aging evidence against him.
Dnrrant has strenuously denied hav-
ing met Miss Williams at any time after
three weeks prior to her death. There has
been evidence thar he was seen in
the vicinity of the church that
night by one man, three girls and a
woman. but only one of these. young
girl, has stated that she recognized Dur
rant, but her testimony is weakened by
that of companion who was with her
at the time and failed to recognize the
prisoner in court
But James P. Hodgson, a citizen who
lives within few doors of the church,
who has been found after much labor by
detectives. testifies positively on this
point Hodgson did not want to be mix
ed up in the case He had only men
toned the matter once and that was the
day after the finding of the body
But the police obtained clue, To-
Gated him and obtained his statement
He says that on the night in question he
was passing by the church when he saw
young man and young woman at the
church gate. Their appearance as de-
scribed by him tallies with that of the
accused and the dead girl. He said the
man was evidently urging the girl to
consent to a proposal he was making and
she was evidently demurring.
As HOdCsOu passed them the Young
man looked him squarely in the face.
Hodgson told his story to the detec-
tives and Durrant was brought up from
his cell. As he faced Hodgson the
latter said: "That is the face-that is
the man. I am sure of it"
Durrant again denied that he was at
the church and SAID that Hodgson was
mistaken but the chief of police thinks
he has found the most important witness
in the case. Ii is now certain the accus-
ed man will seek to establish an alibi
and that that will be his line of defense
in the case of the Williams murder and
also in the case of the killing of Miss La
mont of which he is suspected.
