WOMEN RAID A "sPEAKEAsY.,
Enraxed to Learn the True Charac-
ter of a "Drug Store"

Kingston. Mo-, July 15.-Kingston is just
now the scene of lively war between the
w. C. 7. U. and drug store known as
the White Elephant The W. c. t. U. is
backed by Col C. J. Holt, temperance
lecturer, of Chicago. The drug store,
which is said to be really a saloon and
poker den, is strongly backed by its pat
rons
There have been two pitched battles dur
ing this war. Mrs. Cora Stiles, whose
father. retired farmer, was suspected of
visiting the White Elephant, slipped quiet
ly upstairs from the street to the room
where the poker game was running. Miss
Lulu Loomis, who had an interest in the
game. because she had heard that her
sweetheart, Al Clevenger, played there,
was with her. Mrs. Stiles had learned the
mysterious sign that gained admission to
the poker room. She raped thrice on the
door and rubbed her nails across the wood.
The door opened wide, and there sat the
Mortified father and the deeply ashamed
sweetheart and several other men with
cards in their hands, money and poker
chips before them. and beer glasses and
bottles on the table. Then followed a
great scuffie In their haste to escape from
the wrath to come the men broke the ia
Bile and scattered the chairs and cards
about the room. Two climbed out of a
back window down to a roof and dropped
twelve feet to the ground. The father and
sweetheart were led home by the young
women.
Several meetings followed this incident
At one of them a woman said: This thing
is going to be stopped il it takes all our
money and all our property to do it. 1t
will be stopped if it takes bloodshed."
The women determined last night to raid
the saloon. AS they marched boldly
through the drug store there was conster-
nation among the clerks. Mrs. Stiles call
ed for Mr. Miller, the proprietor. "Dr." :"
Tom Butts, clerk, said he was not In.
Undaunted, they started back toward the
saloon Meanwhile the crowd increased
until it was impossible for anyone to move
inside the store.
One of the invading women carried a
small box containing half dozen spoons.
One of the men at the door of the store
saw her enter with the box in her hand,
and he shouted that the women were go
ing to blow up the place with dynamite,
and there was a panic.
After an hour and half. by a0 effort
bands of some of the women, they were
persuaded to go home There were about
fifty of them In light hats and summer
gowns in the store and on the sidewalks
in front. The men had been crowded out.
The place is now closed, and the women
say it will stay closed. They say that they
are determined to- stop the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors In Kingston.

DUMMY CAPITOL WALL BRACES
Alleged Rad Work of Contractor
In Lincoln, Neb.

Licoln, Neb., July ia painter at work
on the east wall of the capitol building
this afternoon casually leaned upon one OF
the eight big braces that have for ten
years been supposed TO hold in place the
weakened walls of the chamber Of the
house of representatives. The brace
whirled around. and only his agility saved
the man from dangerous fall An inves-
tigation disclosed the fact that the braces
were mere dummies made of wood and
covered with tin and painted to resemble
iron, and there never had been any iron
rods supporting the walls. Ten years ago
the east wall. built on quicksand, settled
and gaping cracks appeared. The braces
were put in to strengthen the wall. Since
then feeling of security in the wall has
existed. The contractor is now a member
of the house. He was paid, it is said, for
furnishing iron braces.

Mo.-May Move Headquarters There

Chicago. July 15.-Brigham Young. one
OF the twelve apostles of the Mormon
Church, and eldest son of its greatest apos-
nected with the church, after short stay
in Chicago. He remarked with considera-
BILE pride that he has twenty-nine children
and ffty-nine grandchildren
'Polygamy would die a natural death
il it were not pounded SO hard by the enc
mics OF Mormonism,' said Mr.. Young.
"The younger generation knows little
| about polygamy. The children hear ii
talked about and frequently come to me
ever practiced it. AS it is one of the prin-
ciples of cur church, l do not deny it, and
defend it, too
There is no doubt the Federal Govern
ment played into the hands of the Nor
mons by enacting a law against polygamy,
for hundreds of converts have come into
the church saying that the practice was
Iigion. The Mormon Church is making
thousands of converts every year"
When asked how many wives Represen-
tatiYe-elect Roberts really had, he replied. /.
| Il don't know. Mr.. Roberts has himself
said on this point that he has entered into
obligations which neither the church nor
| the state can annuI, and I believe he is
| right.
Democrats Of Utah support him in his
| position, but the Republicans do not
| believe he will be seated in Congress and
will not be ousted. Furthermore Mr. Rob-
etrs will make one of the most efficient
| members of the House. He is regarded as
one of the best citizens of Utah. and en-
! joys the esteem and respect of all who
know him
/ Mr.. Young was asked II he lived with
more than one wife at present, but evad-
| ed direct reply.
Il have not lived with some OF my wives
for nearly generation said he Il visit
| them, eat at their tables and support them
| and the children. but ! do not live with
/ them"
1t is said IL present plans are carried
out the church will soon begin building a
great temple in Independence Mo-. TO sur
| pass even the structure at Salt Lake and
that the headquarters of Mormonism may
| in time be removed 10 Independence. but
there is no proof TO substantiate the story.

in some large building capable Of seAt

Okpected to attend, the exercises, how
- yer. for this occasion being purely Of
q religious character, Principals along
the lines Of Sunday School and church
work. IS
Ii the session proves encouraainQ,
it is the intention to erect q permanent
building for the purpose including IN
the scope of its objects all branches Of
chautauqua work, lectures by various
noted lecturers, music and literary and
religious features. Since the inaugura-
tion. of the New York chautauqua a
number Of years ago, this movement
has steadily grown in popular favor,
until to day the whole United States
are dotted over with these laudable
organizations for the diffusion Of useful
knowledge and for the elevation of
mankind.
There are several of these institu-
tions in our State, at GAINESVILLE, Cor
dele, Gainesville and Albany; and ac-
cording to reports, they exercise very
salutary influence in the communities
where they are located, not only to the
attendants from social, intellectual
and religious point Of view, but to the
towns from financial standpoint as
well.
Our city has of late years, lost much
of its prestige as resort, thereby in
iuring the place socially and financial
ly; and, it seems to us, the proposed
plan is an excellent remedy by which
to regain our lost ground. By all
means let us have the chautauqua.
Rev. j. T. Jenkins and others are
deeply interested in this movement,
and with view of having a discussion
of the subject, mass meeting of all
the churches, and the citizens generally,
will be held next Sunday afternoon at
4 o'clock, in the lecture room of the
Baptist Church. Let everybody come
out and have a free interchange of
opinions on the subject
