People in Wichita were interested IN the
movements Of Mrs. Nation yesterday. It
was asked often on the streets where
Mrs. Nation was and the general impress
sion seemed to be that she was at Abb
lene as had been anticipated by the sa-
loon men Of that place. It was currently
reported that she had demolished a num-
Der Of saloons in Abilene and this report
was just as strenuously denied by those
who pretended to know of the proceed
ings Of the day.
A number Of Wichita men were found
who claimed to have seen Mrs. Nation in
the city. They stated that she came to
the city yesterday morning on the early
train. These men were so positive in
their statements that for time many
people believed that she was on another
wrecking tour in this city. Later came
the report that she was at Abilene and
there were ali kinds Of rUmors about that
affair. Tt was expected that Mrs Nation
would return last evening to this city,
but she was not noticed among the incom-
ing travellers on any Of the evening
trains. 1t is possible that she may be
here this morning, but at any rate. many
Wichita people are confident that she will
appear here again.
One Wichita young man has received a
letter from Mrs Nation. This young man
is George Fletcher. in the Santa Fe news
stand at the Union station. While in
tho city a few days ago Mrs. Nation had
some flowers and Young Fletcher took
care Of them for her while she was up
town Mrs. Nation thanked him profuse-
ly before she left ana then wrote the
letter also.
The letter IS as follows:
Enterprise. Kans. Jan. %. 1901
George Fletcher, Fred Harvey's News
stand. Wichita. Kans:
My Dear Young Man: I shall always
thank YOU for taking care of my flowers.
I have been doing some work here and
am somewhat tired. but I can afford to
be- Oh, my dear boy; live to do the noble
things Of life. save some Of your com
panions and may see you in heaven.
Your true friend,
MRS. CARRIE NATION.
Young Fletcher has copied the letter
and has it on card. He was showing
It to his friends yesterday, or in fact
20 any one who might wish to look at
it. Not only has he the letter pasted on
the card. but also has a picture of Mrs
Nation taken while she was in the county
jail. This make sa combination for the
reader for as soon as the letter IS com
pleted. he can look at the picture Of the
writer.
