Nick steffen OF the Citizens Ice and
! Cold Storage company. returned a few
I days ago from the east and yesterday told
a reporter for the Eagle that hereafter
there would be no cause for alarm over
the ice supply for Wichita and her terri
tory. He stated that the company would
increase the capacity Of the ice plant
fifty tons and make the plant have ca
pacity OF ninety tons per DAY. This viii
make the largest and most modern ice
plant west OF Kansas City. Mr.. Stehen
was in the east looking over ice plants
and machinery and has about completed
the contract for the ice machinery. They
now have two absorption machines OF
twenty tons capacity each and viii have
the latest ana best compression machines
Of nifty tons capacity. Last summer
there was quite an ice famine in this sec
ton. There was "A great demand for ice
when the registering in the new country
was in progress and the territory tribu-
tary TO Wichita also wanted more ice.
There were a great number Of orders for
ice which came 10 this city which had 10
be turned down on account OF the supply.
At that time this company decided that
this thing Of turning away orders that
belong TO this city. As soon as possible
they began figuring on an increased ca
pacity.

ent time the capacity of the plant is large
enough to supply the demand but the next
summer the company expects 10 reach out
and pull 70 Wichita some OF the trade
that has been going to other points when

McHANNA'S EMPIRE.

A train load of thugs, buns and men out OF
lob who had been enlisted at St. Louis to play
soldier in our colonial possessions in the tar
east, while on their way through Texas, con-
clude led to have some fun and show their soldier
" qualities. At Ennis, Texas, during short
stop, they tanked up SO freely with booze that
they became holy terror to the town, as we'll
a. to the officers who had them in charge.
Their insubordinaton delayed the train halt
day, and was only suppressed by the arrival CT
a detachment of regulars from San Antonio,
who, after claiming some tifty.or more of them
in the cars, finally succeeded in getting tie
train of for its destination. Fine examples,
these, of American patriotism and honor! God
pity the poor Filipinos if they have less regard
for deeency ann propriety than this drunken
nobl--Southern Mercury.
And this reminds rs Of conversation we had
with young man who was travelling through
the state, looking for employment young
soldier who had been in Cuba. He said that
Mckinley would have little trouble to secure all
the soldiers he needs, or wants, because there
are thousands of men out of employment who
will gladly enlist in order to get living. The
Young man said the cities are full of this class
of mel, and they are enlisting in droves.

TRUSTS GRAB CUBAN LANDS.
Fruit Company Acquires Some Vast Tracts.

Several of the officials of the United Fruit
Company, or banana trust, met in New Orleans
some time ago to consider what should be done
with the properties recently acquired by the
United Fruit Company in eastern Cuba. If the
company keeps on acquiring land at the rate it
has done in the past, not much space will be
left for the Cubans. The property already COB
bled up includes immense banana plantations
and the six towns of Banes, Embarcydoro, Pu-
eblo, Los Angeles, Flores and Macabi, besides
the great Boston sugar estate, with 1888 acres
in cane and 2, 900 acres more being prepared for
planting The eutire property was purchased
for the sum of $I,4oo, 900.
The company expects to spend $40, 900, 900
in developing this and other properties it pro-
poses to acquire in eastern Cuba Among the
lands control of which the United Fruit COM
pany is negotiating for are those in the vicinity
of the bay of Nlpe, where the United States
government will probably locate one OF its coal
ing stations-upon which an option was recent
ly secured from the heirs of Lyle Vipal, who
held the entire district under grant from the
Spanish crown.

TROUBLE IN RUSSIA.

AS we stated last week, the Gar OF Russia
ordered the hanging of seven students who
dared have, and express, opinions of which the
Car did not approve. This action Of the Car
has caused great rioting in St. Petersburg, and
hundreds of students have hurled defiance az
the Car. The trouble has grown so great that
the Car has fed for his life. The trouble has
only fairly begun-there's plenty more in store
for the tyrant who sits on the throne.

Lincoln on Saloon Smashing.

From the New Voice
1t will probably be news to most readers that
the question Of saloon-smashing is one upon
which we have the opinion OF so eminent
statesman as Abraham Lincoln. In or about
the year 1899, while Abraham Lincoln was
practicing law a. Springfield, fifteen women OF
Clinton illinois, after having repeatedly plead
ed with liquor dealer to refrain from selling
to their husbands, raided his saloon, smashed
in the heads of his barrels with axes, and broke
his demiiohns and bottles. The women were
arrested under indictment for the mischief
doue. They were without counsel tor defense,
when, on the day of the trial, Mr.. Lincoln en-
tered the court ROOM, and was asked by them
to address the court in their behalf Mr.. Lin
coin said:
"May it please the court, will say few
words in behalf of the women who are arrigned
before your honor and the jury would sug-
pest, first, that there be change in the indict-
ment, so as to have it read, The State agains:
Mr.. Whisky, instead of The State against the
Women 1t would be far more appropriate.
Touch ng this question, there are three laws:
First, the law of self-protection; seco I'd, the
law of the statute; third, the law of God The
law of sef.protection IS the law of necessity,
as shown when our fathers threw the tea into
the Boston barber, and in asserting their right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This is the defense of these women. The man
who has persisted in selling whisky has no re-
gard for their ell-being or the welfare OF their
husbands and sons. He has had no fear of God
or regard for man; neither has he any regard
for the laws of the statute. No jury can nix
any damages or punishment for any violation
of the moral law. The course pursued by the
liouo,. dealer has been for the decentralization of
society. His groggery has been nuisance
These women, finding all moral suasion of no
avail with this fellow, obivious to all tender
appeal, alike regardless of their prayers and
tears, in order to protect .heir households and
promote the welfare OF the community, united
to suppress the nuisance. The good of society
demanded It's suppression They accomplished
what otherwise could not have been done"
AS result OF the speech the ladies were re-
leased by the court upon their own recognZ-
ance, and, so far as can be learned, no further
action was taken The facts may be found IN
Collins "I,ife of Lincoln" page 1907, and IN
Herndon's Life of Lincoln" edition of 1889,
