Thi, traffic has been largely i'm beer and

that the wares were carried into front doors

WOMEN DON'T WANT BUCK.
Tho Equal Suffrage League Opposes His
Appointment at the Reform school.

Tho Equal Suffrage League Opposes His
Appointment at the Reform school.
The Topeka Equal Suffrage associa-
ton is just now Interested in the state
reform school 1t has been rumored that
DIR. ]. F. Buck is TO be appointed by
Governor Morrill, to succeed Superin-
tendent Hitchcock and large faction of
the association does not want DR.. Buck
appointed.
DR.. Buck was formerly superintendent
of the school and DR.. Harding and Mrs.
Case and others say that he was cruel
and inhuman in the treatment of the in :
mates.
These charges were made at the meet
ing yesterday and movement was made
TO take some active steps to prevent his
appointment. Mrs S. A. Thurston de-
Tended DR.. Buck and the matter was
finally dropped without any action being
taken.
Among the things the women say Dr.
Buck was guilty of, was that he whipped
the boys so severely that some of them
still bear the marks on their backs 1t
might be pretty hard to distinguish the
marks made by DR.. Buck from those
made by Superintendent Hitchcock
They have become badly mixed in some
cases and there are probably no dis
tinguishing features.
