placed her hand upon her forehead and
complained of dizziness to her compan-

of the shaft, gripped his lever and the
car shot up with bound. Almost at
the same moment. Mrs. Levy reeled and
fell with her head out of the door. The
elevator was about an inch and a half
from the walls of the shaft and, as far
as the solid walls would permit, her
head extended out. There was a crash,

Olathe, Kan, Feb. 14.-Not since the
original package excitement in this city,
about ten years ago, has there been as
lively a public meeting held was held
in the Baptist church yesterday afternoon.
The storm center was Ex-Governor St.
John.
A few weeks ago three of the druggists
here filed petitions with the probate judge
asking for permits to sell liquor. The
petitions will come up for hearing this
month. The law requires the signatures
of twenty-five men and twenty-five wO-
men of the ward in which the drug store
is to locate on each petition. One of the
druggists got Ex-Governor st. John, who
lives in another ward, to sign his petition.
This stirred up the Women's Christian
Temperance union as never before, and a
meeting was called for 8 o'clock yester-
day afternoon to protest against the
granting of a permit to sell whisky, as
prayed for by Ex-Governor st. John and
others.
The church was soon filed with men
and women and the w c. T. L. was out
in force, as also was Mr.. st. John, to ex-
plain his action. Captain Clark was made
chairman and H. E. Tracy secretary.
Senator Parker was first to speak. He
