Enterprise, Kan. Jan. 24.-Mrs. Car
RE Nation. the Wichita joint smasher,
began her crusade in Enterprise to-day
by demolishng one joint and deliver
Ing street lecture. She arrived on
the early morning Santa Fe train from
Wichita and went at once TO the bone
Of @. b. Hoffman. the well-known Pop
ulist leader. Mr.. Hoffman was away,
but his wife was at home and tenn
perance meeting was held at the house
ut 2 o'clock, attended by u dozen or
more women.
After perfecting plans Mrs. Nation
secured n hatchet and started for the
business pnrt of town, accompanied by
Mrs. HOFFMAN, Mrs. l.. A. Case, a lead
ing W. @. r. U. worker, and another
woman. who was yelled. The two
jointists had locked their saloons and
were in hiding.
Mrs. Nation went to SchIlline's place
and attacked the glass doors. She
smashed the glass out of the frames
and stepped into the deserted joint
leaving the others outside. She
smashed the big mirror, chopped
gashes In the bar and broke all the
glnsses and bottles on the shelves, and
then went to the refrigerator and conf
menced bringing out cases or beer. She
handled them easily and lifting them
high in the mir dropped them to the
floor deftly cracking each bottle left
solid after the fall. The floor was soon
covered with n mixture of drinkables.
About $50, rs Mrs. Nation was lee
turing on the streets. Mrs. Schilling,
the wife of the jointist whose place Of
business was demolished. came to her.
I've got you now" she raid. and she
struck Mrs. Nation twice in the face.
A slight cash was cut over the eye and
1t bled profusely. Mrs. Nation went TO
n neighborlng house and had her eye
bandaged and continued her lecture on
the street.
The crowd was too noisy and she nd-
journed to church nearly. where she
made long address.

EHE GOLD STANDARD BILL
IS LIKELY TO BE SHELVED

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Speaker Heu-
derson has put his foot on pending
legislation to more permanently estab-
lish the gold standard at the present
sesson of Congress. The rivalry be-
tween the committees of the House to
reap credit for inaugurating such leg
islation brought the matter to Il head
Saturday.
The Hill bill. providing for the ex-
ohangeability of gold with silver, was
reported from the committee on coin
age, weights and measures several
days ago. The committee on banking
and currency reported the Overstreet
bill to-day, containing, with n change
of verbiage, the same provisions as the
Hill bill. Chairman Southard of the
committee on coinage introduced n res
Olution providing for the consideration
of the Hill bill. This resolution was
referred to the committee on rules, OF
which Speaker Henderson Is chairman.
Mr.. Henderson told Mr.. Southard
that before his resolution would be con-
sidered by the committee he must first
bring the assurance of certain senator's
that the bill would be allowed consider
alton in the Senate, If the House passed
it. Mr.. Southnrd made canvass of the
Senate Immediately and found that
too much Legislation was-already on
Akt" was the general sentiment.
Two Democrats. briggs of New York
and Thayer OF Massachusetts, voted
with the Republicans in favor of the
Overstreet bill, which is as follows:

KANSAS TO DEMAND
COLORADU'S WATER

Wichita, Kan. Jan. 2j.-The Arkan-
sas River Association, which met In
convention here yesterday, adopted
resolutions requesting Governor Stan
ley and Attorney General Goddard to
begin proceedings in the United States
court against the state of Colorado
and Its citizens, to prevent the divert
ing of the water in the Arkansas riv-
er from Its regular course. A further
resolution requesting the state Legisla-
ture to take such steps as 1t may think
necessary, right and proper to pro-
tect the interests of the state and peo-
pie of Kansas"
Inc organization is composed of
owners of riparian rights in the Ar
kansas valley. The convention was an
outgrowth of the bill now pending in
Congress asking n large appropriation
from the government for the csnstruc-
tion of Storage reservoirs in eastern
and southern and central Colorado, III
which 1t is proposed to run the waters
of the Arkansas river, the water to be
used for irrigation purposes in that
state.
u. F. Ware of Topeka represented
the attorney general and the governor,
and remarked that whatever the pleas
ure of the convention would be acted
on by these two officials. A commit
tee, including some twenty-five dele
gates, was appointed and will present
the matter in the proper form to the
governor and Legislature at Topeka
next Tuesday.
Before the convention adjourned 1t
formed n permanent organization with
II. w. Eckert, editor of the Arkansas
City Traveller. as chairman. and Il. b.
Jewett of Wichita as secretary. About
fifty delegates from the various towns
of the Arkansas valley were repre-
sented.
Mr.. Ware made an extended address,
setting forth the legal aspect OF the
question.
'W hen Kansas was settled and ad-
mitted to the Union as state" he
said, then Colorado became n terri
tory, apd when the rights of Kansas
accrued, the rights of Colorado had
not yet accrued. so that there can be
no priority OF rights in Colorado, but
the priority Of rights was and remain
ed in Kansas along the line of the
river. If Colorado had been settled
first. and the rights had first accrued
In Colorado. before they had accrued
in Kansas. n different feeling would
prevail because then Kansas would
have been settled up in anticipation OF
existing rights in Colorado, but such
| was not the case"

Denver, Colo, Jan. 2S.-Under- date
OF January 9th the News prints the
following dispatch from Erie:
The strike in Erie will be on again
in full fbrce- tomorrow. At a mass
meeting to-day 1t was voted to call all
miners out who have been working.
This order will affect over 200 men,
who will lay down their tools to-mor-
row. The Lister and the Tynon mines
are the principal mines affected, as
they have been shipping coal, but the
Eureka, the Davis. the Whitehouse and
the Ely mines at Rim are also includ-
ed. These mines have all been paying
the scale, and the Rim mines have
been supplying, by wagon trade, Gree
ley, Fort Collins. LOveland. Berthoud,
Longmont, Lyons and the territory
surrounding these places. Their colp-
bined output Is placed at about 400 or
500 tons per day. The Longs Peak
mine has been taking out coal for Gus
tom trade and is also included in the
mines now affected.
0To- morrow will see every mine in the
northern district absolutely idle II the
plans adopted Mt to-day's meeting do
not miscarry. "f
There was strong opposition to the
closing of the mines that We're paying
the scale, and had the decision been left
to Erie alone no such action would
have been taken, but the mass meeting
was controlled by the miners from Lou
isyille, Lafayette. Superior and Mar
shall, in which camps there are but
few Independent mines.
The meeting voted to adjourn with
out taking action and to wait for Pres
ident MitchelIs representative to ar
rive to conduct the strike, but when It
was found that Il majority had voted
to adjourn, the mover of the motion
was requested TO withdraw 1t to permit
of further discussion. This was done,
and finally, after two hours OF oratory.
the motion to call out all miners in the
northern district prevailed and the
meeting adjourned.
