Jcs.ie win Not See visitors.


Jessie Morrison has expressed de-
sire to be spared the annoyance of
curiosity seekers that visit the state
prison. She will not be subjected to
unpleasantries of this kind. Visitors
are not shown through the woman's
ward. Miss Morrison will have all the
seclusion she desires. The only men
she will see are a few of the officials
and Dad" the old convict runner for
the woman's department.. Miss Nor
rison discarded her own clothing and
put on the regulation prison dress, a
dark calico Mother Hubbard" She
was compelled to put all her own gar
ments away, including underclothing.
She will wear only clothing provided
by the state during week days, but can
dress in her own clothes Sundays.
Unparalleled in Any Other State.
At Wichita, John Kinseader, Joint
keeper, was fined $3.50, this being the
penalty attached by city ordinance
which prohibits the sale of beer on
Sunday. The case is curious as giving
much insight into the workings of
prohibition in some communities in
Kansas. The ordinance under which
Kinseader was fined permits him to
sell beer every other day in the week.
Yet the constitution of the state and
the statutes adopted by the legisla-
ture prohibit the sale of beer on every
day. So what is apparent is that in
parts of Kansas city ordinance
takes precedence over the laws
and constitution, situation unpar-
alleled in any other state in the un-
ion.-Kansas City Journal.
