EMP0RIANS AROUSED.
Burning Question Seems TO BE wheth-
er or Not TO License the
Drug stores

Emporia. Kas., July 19-(Special) The
question of licensing the joints has stirred
up the entire community. Yesterday seven
ministers delivered very strong sermons
dCnOunCing the mayor for his action IN
the matter. The jointists are willing TO
put up the fine of $25 per month. and five
Of them have done so. but they think that
the drug stores should be made 20 pay
fine or that they should not be allowed TO
sell liquor. This morning the following
circular was mailed to every voter in the
city:
STOP AND THINK!
Gould you say TO God If lie asked the
run joints? L don't think they dor
are responsible for the common jointist
doing business?
rs It not a fact that our young men
do their drinking first in a drug store?
DO you consider yourself brave to pull
n lJ-cent common 1Ointkeeper and let the
$4,000 drug store jointkeeper go unmOlest-
ed?
Think, Do your dutyi Let your Chris
tian spirit assert itself"
The mayor declares that the city finan-
ces are in such shape that IL is necessary
TO raise money, and he thinks that the
Joint tag" is the best way. He is at
present figuring on a scheme to tax the
drug stores. and IL is thought that seven
OF the stores will be either fined or COM
PEELED to discontinue the sale OF liquor.
The Ministerial Association will take
some action at its next meeting and will
make every effort TO defeat the plans Of
Mayor Adds.

Frightened by n Cat.

On Tuesday night between and 2 o'clock
Rev. E. Holmes Lamar, of Aberdeen, was
awakened by some noise downstairs, which
sounded as if man was walking quietly and
easily around over the floor. The sounds were
muftied, owing to heavy carpet being upon
the floor He listened and was convinced that
it was robber. His wife had already been
awakened by the noise below, and she also
was convinced that it was caused by thieves.
Neither made an cutlery. In few minutes
they heard the stair door open quietly. Some
thing sounded like the soft tread of man as
cending the steps. Mr.. and Mrs. Lamar were
certain by this time that some one had broken
their house open and was going to rob aud
perhaps murder them. Mr.. Lamar had no
weapons He jumped from his bed, went to
the stairway, but at lirst could see nothing
He asked who was there, and the noise ceased
He lighted a match, and the children's pet cat
was plainly in sight.

Little Girls Adventure


Baltimore American, Feb. 8.
HAvRE DE GRACE, February Ga piece
OF detective work was accomplished here
and Assistant Clarence Gillen, of Wilmington,
Del, with the aid of the railroad company's
employees at this place, which resulted in the
finding OF Title Tibbett, the twelve year-old
daughter OF $. X. Tibbett, supervisor OF the
Delaware Railroad Company at Harrington,
Del, who left there Thursday afternoon with
Mrs. Frances Greeny, who spent several
months at that place last summer, and who
subsequently was a cook at the Delaware
House, which is kept by ID. P. Wells, formerly
of Wilmington. The woman, who had nurs-
ing baby with her, left the Delaware House
last week, and returned again to Harrington,
where she made the acquaintance of several
prominent families, among whom was that of
Mr. and Mrs. Tibbett, and an attachment
sprung up between her and the child Tillie
On Thursday Mrs. Greeny concluded, for
some reason, again to visit Havre de Grace,
and she claims the little one followed her, de-
sirous of obtaining employment here in one OF
the fact cries or as housemaid at hotel. Soon
as the child was missed, investigation was set
about, but the authorities lost all trace of the
party at Porter's junction, where the Della
ware Railroad passengers are transferred to
the Philadelphia and Baltimore road bound
South. The woman and the girl reached
HaTre de Grace at six O'Clock, and INN ediate-
Iy took hack for the Hartford House, where
they remained over night, and on Friday
morning they applied at Hecht's Hotel for
quarters, registering as Mrs. c. 6. Blair and
child, Of Philadelphia.
Detective Jones arrived at noon upon in
formation from the railroad officials here, and
at once took charge of the child, who was re-
turned to her almost frantic parents.
The woman was not placed under arrest
here, as the little girl said she had paid her
own way, which seemed to concur with the
statement made by Mrs Greenly, who took
the next train after Detective Jones and his
party for Wilmington, and upon her arrival
there was placed under arrest.
HAvRE DE GRACE, February Mrs Frances
Greenly, alias Mrs .. u. Blair, who was &C.
