JOINTS STILL RUN
Though There Has Been
Marked Advance in Prices.

The joints OfTopeka are running today
uninterruptedIy. The disOrderly houses
too have not been inactive.
The reason of all this is that the five
days limit has not yet expired which
was announced to be in effect last Fri
day when Mayor Fellows took charge
as cOmmander-in-chief Of the police
department.
must close up as tight as a drum. Some
of the joints have already closed.
either from fear of future trouble, or
from realizing that the Jig is up" But
there were so many joints in operation
that the few which have closed are
scarcely noticeable.
In almost every block on Kansas ave-
nue. between Gordon street and Tenth
street, there was some sort of a joint.
None run as openly as they did two
weeks ago, but it was not hard for the
average thirsty individual to get a cool,
fOaming glass of beer Some of the
jOintists who are still operating declare
that they will not close, but will run
their places as clubs and lodges. They
also say that they will be very careful
in admitting people to be sure that
they are 'all right
Since the order has gone forth that
there must be an end to the joints,
the price of bottled beer has suddenly
Jumped from 20 cents to 25 cents a bot
tie. Whisky has gone up from so cents
a pint to $1.00, which is the drug store
price.
An ex-policeman, who ought to know
all about joints and disOrderly houses,
said: THAT order to close the joints
was made in the interests of the drug
stores. Beer and whisky have gone up
in price The joints are running today
and only few of them closed down.
Several of the jointkeepers said Mayor
Fellows wouldn't dare destroy their
fixtures. 1 don't believe they intend
closing everything absolutely tight.
Anyway, there is plenty of beer and
booze to be had today and it isn't hard
to get either"

Cen .Shafter in the Cuban campaign
live at Fort Leavenworth and in this
city and this was a day of worry and
anxiety to them. In addition, about ECO
of the 500 private soldiers who left in
April and took part in the two days
battle at Santiago resided here. The
only news received yet tells of the kill
ing and wounding of officers. Many are
telegraphing to the war department
asking for news.
Lieut. Henry Carroll, Sixth cavalry,
who is badly wounded, left Fort Leav-

troops. He entered the regular army
before the war as a private. During
the war he rose to the rank of major.
In 1867 he was made lieutenant in
the Third cavalry, and has served in
four different cavalry regiments and in
many Indian campaigns. He was
awarded a medal of honor for gal

SHOT THE WRONG MAN.
Now, 40 Years Later, Jacob McKis-
sick is Sued for $4,000.

Hamburg. Ia. July 4.-One of the
mysteries of early days in Fremont
county is in process of solution, and a
800 900 damage suit, just fled, is one Of
the incidents to the clearing up process
Forty years ago man named Furbey
spent a night at the home of John Al
len, who still lives in the county. Late
at night a gun was thrust through a
crack in the door and a shot fired into
the cabin. apparently with deliberate
aim. Furbey was struck in the thigh,
and received a wound from which he
never recovered. He was near death
for a long time and all his life was
helplessly lame, dying in poverty many
years before his time.
Now comes the sequel. A short time
ago Jacob McKissick came back to visit
here, after being many years in Neva-
da. He has had life of adventure
since the days of the California gold
excitement. One night, while telling his
friends of his life, he became enthusiasts
tic, in his cups, and said he had fired
the shot which injured Furbey. He had
had a feud for a long time with Allen,
and intended it for him. Relatives Of
Furbey learned Of the confession and
Instituted a $20, 600 damage suit, at
tacning property here and in Nevada
McKissick is quite wealthy.
