POLISHED BARS
And French Plate Mirrors in
LaWrence's Saloon
Creates Big Excitement When
Police Raid the House.
CROWDSBLOCK STREET
Big o. Nj. b. Saloon Pulled
Had 400 Members.
Hundreds of Dollars Worth OF
Liquor and Beer Captured.

Lawrence, July ia sensation was
created here yesterday by the raiding
of the o. NJ. b. lodge room, the arrest
of the proprietor and bartender and the
seizure of the liquor.
The raid was attended by a great deal
of excitement and much secrecy 1t
was made by the sheriff with the aid of
trouble in making the arrests, and the
only difficulty in getting the liquor
away from the place was in getting
wagons enough to haul it.
When the deputy sheriff entered the
front door there was rush of occu-
pants to escape at the rear, only to
find the city marshal and policemen
guarding it.
After the officers had entered they
waited for some time, and the crowd
outside that had gathered on the news
of the raid, almost blocked the street.
George NJ. Crowder was given time to
collect the lodge books and parapher-
MALTA, and was taken together with his
barkeeper to the district clerks office,
from which the warrant had been is
sued
The lodge room was equal to any in
polished oak bar, a huge plate glass
mirror and all the other enticing ap-
purtenances of a modern saloon. A
great ice chest had seven kegs of beer
in 1t, and there was one keg on tap.
There were any number of cases about
the room and all the incidentals neces-
sary for the operation of a successful
drinking place were at hand.
When the officers had gotten every
thing to the jail they found the follow
ing lot of stuff:
Nine two gallon jugs some full and
others partly full of wine.
One-half barrel partly full of wine.
One barrel partly full of whisky
One 10 gallon keg of whisky.
Eleven kegs of beer
Four full cases of bottled beer
Two half cases of bottled beer
One hundred and fifty bottles, some
quart, some pint, and some decanters
filled with all kinds of liquors.
The fixtures and mirrors in the place
were recently imported from Kansas
City, and were very fine. The refrig-
orator was big enough to hold 80 kegs
of beer.

There are eight charges for selling Ii
quor against each one of the three
men, and one count against each for

The q NJ. B. has been running in
Lawrence for over a year. The lodge
is said to have over 400 members in
Lawrence and in the country surround
ING the town, and on the information
nleo by the county attorney appears
the names of over $50 members as wit
neSses- On the lodge blackboard were
several names that had been proposed
Tor mem mbership, and not yet vo-
Ied IN Among these we'll as in the
list filed by the county attorney are
many names that would greatly SIR
prise the people of the town, and there
IS hardly business house along the
street that had not representa- tives in
the list. This will no doubt cause a a
great scattering of the men of the town
until the case is tried.

Members of Republican League Clubs
to be Assessed So Each.

Detroit, Mich, July 16.-The new exc
cutive committee of the National Repub-
1ican league held it's initial meeting here
last evening. Chicago was continued as
the leagues headquarters and the date of
the Omaha convention was left to Presi-
dent Crawford and the committee from
Nebraska. new plan of assessments
for raising money was adopted and the
secretary's salary was fixed at So, 600.
After some discussion it was decided to
levy an assessment each state OF 81
per head, according to the representation
of the respective state leagues in the ma
tional conventions. The assessments are
to be paid not later than November l.
Secretary Dowling thought little of the
assessment plan. judging from past ex-
periences. He said that the committee
could assess until doomsday but it never
would be paid.
No New England states excepting
Rhode Island had ever paid assessments.
No southern states except Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Texas and a portion of Virginia
had paid. Wyoming, South Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin were the only
western states which had paid up.
Most of the members present, however,
promptly assumed responsibility for pay
ment of their state assessments. 1t was
voted that no state which failed to pay
its assessment should be entitled to rep
reSentation in the next convention.

JUDGE WEBB'S FIAT.
He Will Decide for Himself What
Laws to Include in the Re
vised Statute.

Judge w. C. Webb of this city, who is
engaged in the work of revising the
state statutes, means to ignore the re-
cent decision of the supreme court in
reference to the unconstitutionality of
the repeal law passed last winter, and
will leave out of the statutes of 1897
the laws he personally holds to be re-
dundant and unnecessary.
This number will include practically
all of the laws included in the repeal
bill with the exception of the laws es-
tab1ishing courts, about II or Is in all.
Judge Webb states that to place these
laws in the statute books would in
crease each copy by 40 pages, and that
he does not intend to include them in the
revision as he holds them to be wholly
redundant and unnecessary.
Among the laws which Judge Webb
proposes to exclude from the statutes are
the two enabling acts consolidating
Kansas City, Kan, and north and
south Lawrence. Also the acts giving
townships authority to issue bonds for
the relief of the farmers suffering from
the grasshopper pest, authorizing the
payment of Quantrell and Price raid
claims and claims for Indian depreda-
tions, and authorizing the incorporation
of counties
Judge Webb holds that all of these
laws are now dead, and therefore have
no place in the revised statutes. A tire
some legal fight will probably result.
