DRIPPING BLOOD.
ANOTHER SALOON MURDER.

The Hamilton-Day murder trial is
drawing to close as we go to press.
The whole thing is terrible indict-
ment of the liquor traffic. The entire
whisky and high-balls have been con-
stantly on the witness stand. This is
nothing new. Years ago Frank Meade,
who was also a reporter, killed a man
while he (Meade) was intoxicated. He
was acquitted. Later Tollefson, a
Norwegian car driver in Minneapolis,
was Drained with a coupling pin by
the Barrett brothers, who spent the
preceding hours in several saloons
fitting themselves for the deed. Two
Of the boys were hung. Then Harry
Hayward piled Blixt with whisky
bought at Tom Lally's saloon, and Kit
tie Cling was murdered, Hayward hung
and Blixt sent to the penitentiary.
Later Ermisch and Woenigheit, who
had had saloon training, killed a St.
Paul bartender and were hung. This
was followed in st. Paul by the MUIR
der of Ruth Parish by Steneerson,
both having been drinking. So it
goes. We do not now remember of a
single prominent murder case in the
Twin Cities in a dozen years in which
the saloon has not played a prominent
part. When shall the carnage cease? +?

Liver or Steak?

Bishop Vincent records the follow
ing incident: A coal miner in Penn
sylvania quit work on a Saturday
night, treated the boys at the saloon,
went to the butchers shop and stood
aside while the saloonkeeper bought
a roast for Sundays dinner, and a
sirloin steak for Mondays breakfast.
The miner took two pounds of liver.
The following Monday the miner made
a speech to his fellow-miners, and
they agreed to buy no beer for a
week at the saloon. They kept their
word. Next Saturday the miner
went to the butchers shop. The sa-
loon-keeper came in and the miner
stood one side. The saloon-keeper
said that, as business had been very
dull, he would take liver for his Sum
day dinner and Monday breakfast.
The miners took the roast and steak.

The liquor traffic is a cancer in
society, eating out it's vitals and
threatening destruction, and all at
tempts to regulate it will aggravate
the evil. There must be no attempts
to regulate the cancer, it must be
eradicated, not root must be left
behind, for until this is done, all
classes must continue in danger of
becoming victims of strong drink.

HATCHET CRUSADE.

Mrs. Nation is still at it, but is
not wholly engaged in saloon smash
ing. She has addressed the Kansas
legislature and asked it to clothe the
governor with greater power for the
enforcement of the prohibitory law,
and such bill has been introduced.
She received an ovation at the con-
vention of the Kansas Temperance
Union. A fund was raised there
with which to purchase a medal for
her, but she declined the honor. She
has interviewed the governor and
other officials, and urged them to re-
spect their oaths of Office, and talked
very plainly to those who do not.
She has spoken in Des Moines and
other Iowa cities, at Chicago and at
a number of railroad stations en-
route.
But she has not left the saloons en-
tire1y alone. A mob has chased her.
Wives of saloon keepers have as
saulted her and have been arrested
and fined for so doing. Insurance
companies have cancelled their poll
cies upon saloon fixtures in some
cities. Newspapers have grossly
misrepresented her. She is not wild
eyed. She is an intelligent, refined,
Christian lady, but terribly in earnest
to help her. tempted brothers and
heartbroken sisters by closing the
lawless, damning joints of her noble
state. Most and probably all of the
newspaper gossip about her slapping
a sheriff's face and talking to Gov.
Stanley in unwomanly fashion, is
mere newspaper rot.
Mrs. Nations most notable achieve
ment is in Topeka, where the chief
of police endorsed and accompanied
her on her smashing bees. On Sun
day the 10th inst, 5000 male citizens
assembled and amid the greatest en-
thusiasm adopted an ultimatum to
the jointists, which reads like the
Declaration of Independence. It calls
upon the officers of the law to do
their duty, warns the owners of
property used for joints and gives
the jointists only a few days to get
out of the business or to take the
consequences. Twelve hundred men
signed an agreement to be ready at
a moments notice to carry out the
will of the defenders of the laws. To
peka's eighty joints are since report
ed closed.
At South City, Neb., and other
points, local women. have closed
joints. Some unsuccessful crusades
have been undertaken. At Wichita,
Mrs. Lille Rich, prominent white
ribboner, has sued saloonkeeper
for $4,000 for selling liquor to her
two minor sons. At Winfield, Kansas,
jointists took revenge for saloon
smashing by wrecking the United
Brethren church ,and at this writing
a serious conflict is imminent. At
Dawson, Minn., blind pigs were par.
tally wrecked and druggists warned
by crowd, largely women.

DEAD OR in A TRANCE.

The army reorganization bill has be-
come law. It's anti-canteen clause
is as follows:
The sale of or deaing in beer wine or
any intoxicating liquors by any person In
any post exchange or canteen or army
transport or upon any premises used for
military purposes by the United States, is
hereby prohibited. The Secretary of War
is hereby directed to carry the provisions
of this section into full force and effect"
The order of the secretary of war,
just issued, says:
Commanding officers will Immediately
carry the provisions of this law into full
force and effect and will be held strictly
responsible and no exceptions or evasions
are permitted within their respective juris-
diction."
On several military reservations,
notably at Fortress Monroe, VT, and
West Point, N. Y, the government
has permitted the erection of private
hotels. The war department holds
that under this law the bars will have
to be closed at once.
Midas Criterion, a liquor organ,
says that the anti-canteen measure
is loosely drawn" Referring to the
notification of the law of 1899 by
Secretary Griggs, it claims that IAN
equally ingenious lawyer could pro-
badly get around the new provision
quite as easily" A Washington dis
patch to the New York World calls
attention to the fact that the Presi-
dent can under the provision of Sec
tion IS add beer to the army ration
IT he. so chooses. At any rate it is
certain that large numbers of the
most intelligent of our citizens who
have lost respect for the sincerity of
the war department will still con-
slider that it will bear watching.
The liquor papers are not happy
over the abolition of the canteen.
The Washington Sentinel, brewers
organ, takes it to mean that "Prohi-
bition has come to stay" Midland,
Omitted Presbyterian says that
since almost the only defense of the
canteen has been that if taken away
the soldiers would get more harm
from vicious dens outside, the sever
al states should now suppress these
dens. The New Voice demands an
improvement in the army ration at
least equal to what the friends Of
the canteen claim has been added to
the soldiers eatables from the pro-
fits of the canteen.

Seven Story Communal Building Found
Near GtIlue, n. NJ.

Seven Story Communal Building Found
Near Gtllue, N NJ.
A seven story stone communal
building fifty by fifty feet was discov-
cred last week thirty-five miles north
east of Gallup by o. r. Morrison,
writes the Santa Fe correspondent of
the New York Tribune. The building
was put up without cement. A num-
Der of stone utensils and weapons have
been found there also heads and parts
of skeletons. Other ruins have been
found to the northeast and southeast
of Gallup. There is no water within
five miles of the communal building
and no signs of any other buildings.
There is large quantity of broken
pottery near by. Along the foothills
of the Zuni mountains, on almost
every point of the numerous volleys,
are found stone houses from two to
five feet above the ground, and below
the surface five or six feet. In some
instances large pine trees are growing
rigation, which are to be seen in places
where there is at present no sign of
water. Ramah is built in the ruins of
an ancient city where large blocks of
stone have been used in the construc-
ton of the houses. These evidences
of large population are not confined
to this region, but extend in an almost
unbroken chain to Mexico on the south
and to the Rio Grande on the east.
Fifteen years ago seven car loads of
stone utensils, arrow heads, weapons,
beads, pottery and bones of all des-
criptions were shipped to the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington.
but this region has not been touched
in the way of exploration in the in
terest of archaeology. The early Span
ish explorers said that a large river
was found between Gallup and Little
Colorado, and that boats had to be
made to cross it. J. C. Hulsinger,
special agent of the Interior Depart
! ment, has been authorized to prohibit
all excavations on government land
and the carrying away of relics from
the cliff dwellings. He has been or
dered to examine the most interesting
ruins in New Mexico, Arizona and
Colorado, with view of having them
set aside as reservations wherever
practicable, and to inform all persons
eXcavating that they will be prose-
cuted. Future excavations are to be
carried on under government auspices.
Mr.. Hulsinger has examined the for
est growth in the White Captain and
Sacramento mountains and has rec
commended the establishment of a for
est reservation. He picked out only
$780, 900 acres of strictly forest domain,
in the mountains at the headwaters OF
the Bonito, Eagle Creek, Rudoso and
! Hondo. The residents of that region
while opposed to a large reserve, favor
a reserve of strictly forest land, that
will protect the headwaters of the
streams mentioned.
