Liquor Law Opinion by Judge Tyler.


Judge j. NJ. Tyler of the supreme court
has handed down an opinion on the in
junction law passed at the regular session
of the legislature of 1898 to assist in the
enforcement of the prohibitory law. This
law specified that the owners and all per-
sons interested in the building or premises
in which a common nuisance has been
kept or maintained, as well as the keeper
thereof, may be made parties to the pro-
ceedings, and if such is proved to be
common nuisance can be perpetually en-
Joined. The law is held to be consttu-
tional, but as TO the owners and other per-
sons interested, it must be proved that
they had knowledge that such a state of
affairs existed. The decision is looked on
as a victory for the land owners who con-
tested the suit. The test case was the
state against Massey of st. Johnsbury. B..
G. Howe, the owner of the building, was
also enjoined, as was the First national
bank of st. Johnsbury, which held the
mortgage. The decision as to Massey,
who had been convicted of being keeper,
was affirmed, but the judgment was re-
versed and cause remanded as to Howe
and the bank. The case has attracted at
tention all over the state. Eight similar
cases were pending in the supreme court
from Caledonia county. Like Injunction
proceedings had been begun in Washing
ton, Franklin, Chittenden and Rutland
counties against owners of buildings hav.
ing alleged nuisances, which suits were
awaiting the outcome of this decision.

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS AND Fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
TaSteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tones are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You arc
not experimenting when you take Groves-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Once aoldsfs and Passes.


A. L. williams, general attorney for
the Union Pacific railroad, knocks
against ofiice-holders riding on rail-
road passes. He frankly admits that
the roads do not give them passes 10
matter Of courtesy but In order to
keep them good" and says that b
law should be passed prohibiting
oifice-holders from accepting passes.
Such law, he declares, the railroads
would like to SEQ enacted. This Is the
way he puts IL:
"Kansas needs law prohibiting
officeholders from accepting railroad
passes. Public servants, as rule,
are paid better than any other class
Of laborers, and there is no reason
why they should strike the railroads
for favors. II isn't courtesy that
prompts railroad company to give
free transportation to Judges, legis.
lators and other officials with their
ra.t OF political helpers and kin; 1t is
to keep them good A Kansas rail-
road attorney Is authority for the
statement that during one session Of
the legislature, when an important
railroad bill was pending, he had re-
quests for 10000 miles Of transport
tation. Did the men who made the re-
quests believe they were entitled to
the transportation as matter Of
courtesy? Not much. They simply
worked their graft. The state pays
the fare of those who travel in the
performance of their duties, and those
who CAD for fun should be compelled
to buy tickets, like the people who
elected them have to do. 1t is said
that the railroads really want an anti
pass law, but are slow to suggest it
the army of passholders is so big, and
has SO much 'fuence."

CHOATE AND THE BABY.
The American Ambassadors Nail
Head wit In an Address In
England.

Lately. at the opening Of free library at
Acton, England, Hon. Joseph H. Choate,
the American ambassador to Great Britain,
delivered an address, and caused much
laughter by his impromptu references to q
baby who persisted in distracting the at.
tention Of the audience by making its voice
heard at the most inconvenient moments,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. The first
interruption occurred early in the speech.
Mr.. Choate was saying: "There is a spe.
cial provision for children in your library,
and think when men come to make q
choice Of a residence in Acton they will
not forget that fact" Here the baby
screamed in such manner as to drown the
words of the speaker. There was some dis.
turbance, but Mr.. Choate said: Don't be
disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows bet.
ter than my Lord Bishop that out Of the
mouths OF babes and sucklings cometh wis
DOM" Things went fairly well after this,
the baby appearing to be fattered by the
reference, until Mr.. Choate was saying:
"There is a book with which all OF you"
Here the baby walled loudly. Except, pos
sibly, the baby-arc familiar" the ambassa.
dor went on; at is Ecclesiastes, and it says
that Of the making Of books there is no end"

BRITISH SUCCESS IN AFRICA.
The Capture Of Bethlehem Improves tho
Prospects for Peacr-Coliap.c Of tho
Forces Of DeWet Expected Daily.

Pretoria, July 1.-THE British sue
cess Mt bethlehem has considerably
improved the prospects for peace, it
is said. The whole of the government
Of President Steyn, of the Orange
Free State, has surrendered except
President Steyn himself. Those Off
Gals who are prisoners have been
allowed to communicate with Presi-
dent Steyn for the purpose of at
tempting to prove to him the use
lessness of continuance of the strug-
gle which can only produce blood
shed without any counterbalancing
advantages. The collapse of the
forces of Gen. DeWet is expected
daily. The Beers here say that the
men have taken solemn oath never
to personally surrender, but they are
beginning to see the unfairness Of
sacrificing life to personal wishes. 1t
Is expected that when Gen. Botha
learns of the defeat of his colleagues
he will gladly enter into conferences
looking to the establishment OF peace.

King brought Prentis to Kansas in
1869 and put him to work on the old
Topeka Record. He edited the Com
monwcalth several years under Father
Baker; the Lawrence Journal several
years under Dwight Thatcher; the At
Gibson Champion several years under
John A. Martin, and the Junction
City Union several years under George

Quoted by the revivalist, Hammond,
in 1872, Prentis, in common with some
$500 Other citizens, took more af-
fectionate view of church work and
after that he was frequent occu-
pant of some Of the most prominent
pulpits in the state. Few finer SER
mons were ever preached than those
delivered by Prentis in DIR. Cordley's
church Mt Lawrence, DIR. McCabe's
church ut Topeka, and in John A. An
derson's church at Junction City.
Later on, when Prentis was editing
the Atchisan Champion, while he did
not do much preaching himself, he
frequently wrote sermons which were
delivered by Rev. Mr.. Phillip Krohn
and other star pulpit speakers in that
city. 1t is alleged that Prentis wrote
the famous Thanksgiving sermon and
other sermons which caused DR..
Krohn, who delivered them, SO much
trouble.
