IT is ALL OVER.
Mayor Drew Says There VIII Be
No Joints in Topeka.
Has Received Repeated Calls
From Liquor Sellers.
IS AMT 1T A BLUFF"
That Is the Question They
Have Asked.
WIN Next Move on Drug Store
Saloons.
'' AMT 1T A BLUFF %

The joint industry in Topeka Is be-
ginning to flag very materially since it
has come to be generally understood
that Mayor Drew is in earnest about
closing all places where liquor IS lille
gally sold. 1t has taken some time for
some of the proprietors of these places
to realize this. and it has cost them
considerable liquor of more or less
value, but they are beginning to re-
alize it.
The crusade had only commenced
when Mayor Drew left for Houston to
attend the Trans Mississippi CONNER
cial congress. He was absent a week
and during that time the jointists
played hide and seek with the police de-
partment, opening up now and then
and escaping conhscation as long as
the police did not stumble on to them
The Jointists anxiously awaited Mayor
Drew's return from the south to learn
his intentions. They have held meet
ings from time to time to consider the
matter, but it has been their oninion
that the move was simply a bluff" and
that II would pass over in time
ON every day since Mayor Drew has
returned from Houston he has been Wis
ited by one or more jointists to sound
MIN or the subject. They want to know
what he proposes to do about it,

Present in Trouble.
Geo. Haggenberger, yardmaster of
the Rock Island in this city, is 1aboring
under difficulties.
Owing to the work of moving the
yards to the south side of the river he
was few days ago left without an
Office. There was standing in the yards
at this time an old combination bag
gage and passenger coach, and he ac-
cordingly decided to make use Of the
car for an Office. Acting at once on
his decision he had all his blanks and
records moved into the old car.
All went well for few days. Mr..
Haggenberger was the proudest yard
master on the road because he could
move his Office from one side of the
river to the other at will. But yester-
day things changed. A telegram came
directing that the car in question be
sent to Hutchinson. The Topeka yard
master is now living in hourly dread
lest before he can get his books moved
out of his new office he will find him
self miles away from this city.

The Loss of Insurance Policies.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t Is stated in Galveston dispatches that
the amount Of life insurance in that city
before the tornado ran into the millions
of dollars. and that probably a large pro-
portion of this will be lost to the rightful
heirs because of the destruction Of thou
sands of policies and the utter lack of all
proof of their existence for whole families
have been wiped out. and with them all
secondary oral evidence of such poll
cies.
This sad state of affairs suggests to nv
MIND law that would easily meet all SINH
lar cases. 1t is not just fair that men
should stint their families for years pay
ing premiums on policies and that their
surviving heirs, in any degree of relation
ship. could by any means be barred from
recovering the amounts insured | mean
this should be-easily can be-rendered
Impossible by proper legislation to meet
all possible losses of policies, whether by
fire, flood or other catastrophe.
| would suggest to the legislatures of
the several states to enact a simple statute
requiring all insurance companies-iife
fire and accident-to record all policies is
sued by them, in the same manner and un-
der the same rules and regulat tions as
deeds. wills and other Instruments are now
made matters of public record, and that
all policies so recorded in case of loss of
the original be admitted as final and con-
elusive proof of title.
Let the insured pay the fees OF record,
and be required. on payment of each an
nual premium, TO record the receipt there
for, so that the complete record of policy
and premium may leave no possibility of
failure of proof to those properly claiming
the amounts insured, in case of loss of the

pack of dogs of wolfish nature partly
Wild, and which, it is asserted. prowl about

trouble to residents in the vicinity of the
Bowen road. not far from Good Hope. The
animals appear on the roads only in the
evenings or at night time. and dash into
the yards of houses. carrying off chickens
and at times making for people along the
highways. The dogs have been in the neigh
borhood for the last six months. but only
recently have they come to be regarded as
dangerous.
The pack comprises about twelve dogs
and few evenings since they appeared on
the Bowen road just as a number of
school children were on the way home from
school. and the children were greatly fright
ened. This morning about o'clock the dogs
raided the yard of Officer Dyer on the
Bowen road killing several chickens and
manning three ducks. Officers Stevens and
Dyer pursued the dogs and fired into the
pack. but without hitting any of them
The officers received word that a man
passing along the road the other evening
was attacked by the dogs. He fired a re-
VolVer into the pack three times before the
animals turned off. The barnyard of Mr.

OF chickens by the dogs. Two men went
with Shntguns this morning to hunt for and
eNterminate the animals.
