Veterans With Pension Money
Made Welcome.

Leavenwor-th, Nov. 27.-This city is
re1oaclng that a method has at last been
round TO rid the county of the Klon-
dixie, and will see that the old soldiers
enjoy full protection in the city. There
IS even more cause for rejoicing at the
soldiers home At the home there is
canteen at which beer and soft drinks
only are sold, the profits Of which go

the veterans of the home. Since pension
day the canteen has been literally pa
tronlzed, and money that formerly went
TO the Klondike is kept at the home and
indirectly distributed among the vet
Grams. From the profits of this canteen
there has been built an amusement hall
at cost of $4,000, besides the money
spent in bringing theatrical troups to
tertainment.
Last year there were sold at the can
teen 60,992 gallons of beer, which cost
$ll,533.97, the sale of which Melted a
profit of $13,504 .5S or III per cent

FroWSy, tough looking joint keepers sat
behind their 1H-smelling bars with only
their disconsolate thoughts for company,
while frOwsier and tougher looking wo-
men, the lowest of the low, stood about,
blear-eyed and drink befuddled, waiting
for the victims who came not. In fifty
five joints and dives and other places
there was gnashing of teeth. as the nasty
crew discerned Its finish in the opera
ton of Governor Rowland's order. Even
on the Pike road, outside the Klondike,
and some distance from it, the joint
keepers and road-house proprietors are
doing nothing for the order was ap-
piled to them as well as to their breth-
rem in the Klondike. Building property
on the south limits of the city bids fair
to take on a boom, as many of the joint
keepers have stated their intention of
moving into town, since they see that
Governor Rowland's order is effective
Mayor Nicely has stated that no Klon-
dixie methods would be tolerated in the
city, and no doubt he means what he
says. There are several places in the
southern part Of the city, five near
Fourth and Marion streets, one a "colxe''
dive, at the Black bridge, and one at
the corner of Fourth and Limit streets,
but they are constantly under the eyes
of the police and are conducted in an
orderly manner.
The old veterans will not even walk
past Klondike, and the cars to town
are crowded with them, coming in to
spend their pension money where they
at least get value received for it.
