WOMEN Of KANSAS
SMASHING SALOONS
Four Shops in Anthony Com

NEW CRUSADER AT WORK

Saloonkeeper Smashed Over the Head
With Beer Bottle, While Assailant's
Husband Protects Her With Drawn
Pistol-"Nearer, My God, to Thee.''
ANTHONY. Kan, Jan 30. EARLY to-
day, before most citizens had reached
their places of business, 10 women of the
Anthony W. Q. T. u, armed with ham
mers, hatchets and pickaxes, raided and
completely demolished four saloons here.
Husbands of the women went along,
armed, to protect their wives. Among
their brigade were two or three school
girls under age. WHO did some of the
most effective smashing A greater part
OF the havoc was finished before the po-
lice or mayor were aware of what was
going on. The actual damage done to
personal property, aside from the LIQUOR
destroyed, is placed by the saloonkeep.
ers at ~, 600. This, however, is believed
to be too conservative.
Drug Store Demolished.
The first place attacked was situated
in the rear of drug store, which was
forcibly entered from the rear. It con-
tanned some costly bar fixtures, and
among other things a valuable cash
register. Within a few minutes the
women had smashed everything in
sight. The cash register is demolished
but in their hurry to finish this job and
go to other places they overlooked the
bulk of liquor stored away.
Half a block down the street the
second scene of ''joint" smashing was
enacted. They found this saloon locked,
but axes were applied and the whole
glass front was demolished. Here their
work was more complete. The build
ing, great plate glass mirror and every
thing IN sight was reduced to the maxi
mum of Mrs. Nations idea. The pro-
prietor was smashed over the head with
a beer bottle and his scalp laid open.
He was struck by the husband of one of
the women.
In quick succession, two other places
a short distance down the street were
subjected to the same treatment, the
fixtures smashed and all the liquor
turned into the gutter.
A New Crusader.
Today's raid was led by Mrs Sher.
iff of Danville, a small town near by.
She came to Anthony last night, organ
lied the local temperance women and
planned the crusade. Mrs. Sheriff had
previously destroyed saloon in Dan
vile, and she is credited with having
given Mrs Nation the first ideas Of
such crusade.
Mrs. Sheriff is a stranger to the peo-
pie of Anthony, and for time many in
the crowd that followed the crusaders
from place to place believed that she
was Mrs. Nation.
After the work of demolition was COM
plete the crusaders held prayermeetinR
on the sidewalk and "Nearer My God
to Thee" was sung with ferver and
great unction.
The saloonkeepers of Anthony each
have a wareroom, aside from their
saloons. where their stock of liquor is
kept. The crusaders did not know this,
and a considerable amount of liquor is
yet unmolested.

Not a state Function.

There was a stormy discussion in
council, and after the cabinet meeting
directions were sent to the military de-
partment to eliminate from the brigade
orders for Saturdays parade all men
tlOn Of the ceremony as a estate" func-
tion. This was accordingly done. The
argument was advanced that to style
the service as g estate" ceremony would
imply recognition by the government of
the Anglican church as a state church
in Canada, at variance with the prece-
dent set by the government of Sir Nc
Kenzie Bowel in 1894. A solemn re-
quinn mass for the repose of the soul of
Sir John Thompson, said in the Basilica
by the Roman Catholic archbishop of
Ottawa, was not only attended by Sir
Mckenzie Bowel, the Protestant pre-
mier, and every member of his cabinet,
without distinction of creed, but at the
instance Of the government parliament
voted $500 to pay for the mourning dec
orations with which the cathedral was
decorated.
This is not regarded by Sir MacKen-
zie Bowel, past sovereign grand mas
ter of the Orange order, as a recognition
of the Roman Catholic church of
Canada.
The action of the government, whether
due to Difference to the religious scruples
of members or resentment at Lord
Minto's assumption of authority in the
matter, is likely to arouse much political
and religious feeling.

SOLDIERS STILL LREHEARsINo
Elaborate Preparations For Queen
Victorla's Funeral.

CowEs, Jan. 3O.-The construction of
the mortuary chapel on the quarterback
of the royal yacht Albert is proceeding
apace.
The most elaborate precautions are
being taken to prevent any hitch in
Fridays arrangements. A company of
the queen $ guard this morning again
rehearsed the military movements in
the narrow and torturous streets, while
the bearers experimental with a lead
weighted bier of the same weight as the
royal coffin.

Emperor William and Lord Lonsdale
had a long stroll in the grounds of
Osborne House this morning.
Cowes itself is very quiet. The streets
are practically deserted. Tie detectives
continue the same rigorous precautions
which have been observed since the ar
rival here of Emperor William. Every
steamer or launch arriving on either
side of the Medina river is closely scru-
tiniZed, while the approaches to Os-

as ever, though the authorities depre-

Some Thrilling Escapes.

J. Ensign Fuller, an elderly man,
made thrilling rescue of his 17-year-
old invalid niece, Miss May Upperman.
She was in a back room on the third
floor. Through the heat and smoke Mr.
Fuller carried her downstairs his
back. His feet were terribly burned
and as he reached the open air he stag
gered and fell with his unconscious
charge into the arms of a policeman
Edward Marshall, who lost one leg as
the result of a wound received while
serving as a war correspondent in Cuba,
occupied a room on the second floor.
When he was aroused the halls were
filed with smoke. Not waiting to find
his cork leg, Mr.. Marshall climbed to
the fire escape in the rear of his room
and one story from the ground. There
he found that no iron ladder was avail
able to reach safety. Directly in the
rear of The Jefferson is Steinway's
piano warerooms, with 1-story extern
sion in the rear. Steinway's watchman
secured a board, which he placed from
the extension roof to the balcony on the
bottom of the fire escape, and across this
board Mr.. Marshall and about 80 others
who climbed down the fire escape were
rescued. Many were cut by glass, but
none were seriously injured. Several
of the women inmates were so badly
frightened that they had to be carried
across the plank

Cabinet Ministers Object.

The idea of a memorial service in the
cathedral originated with Bishop Ham
ilton, who brought the matter to the at
tention of the governor general and
members of the government Lord
Mimic cabled to England and ascer.
tanned the nature of the state ceremo-
NAL to be observed there Then, with
Major General Ogoady Hall, he drew up
a program for the days observance.
The Episcopal primate of Canada, Arch
bishop McLeary Atlas, asked to conduct
the service. The military function was
duly ordered. 1t was to be quiet state
ceremony, and was so described in the
official notice. At this point certain
members of the cabinet raised objection
that to call the ceremony a state affair
would be to recognize the Church of
England as the estate" church in Can
ada. They declared that as cabinet
ministers they would not attend the SER
vice in the cathedral, and, moreover,
they resented the course of Lord Mimic
in seeming to dictate to his ministers in
the matter

ACTION OF CANADA
CAUSES SURPRISE
Victoria's Funeral Not to Be
Officially Recognized.
THE MINISTER'S OBJECT

Such Recognition, the Dominion Cow
ernment Claims, Might Be Com
strued as Acknowledging Existence
of State Church in Canada.
New YORK, Jan. 30-A special to the
Herald from Ottawa, Ont, says:
The services to be held in the Church
of England cathedral Saturday in mem
ory of Queen Victoria are not to be dig
nified by state recognition. This fact
will not detract from the impressiveness
Of the service, the imposing character
OF the civil and military pageant or the
sincerity of popular mourning; but that
on the eve of such an occasion the gog-
ernment should decide to withdraw Off
cial recognition of the ceremonies in
tended to mark the nation sorrow for
the dead queen is nevertheless regarded
as surprising
The facts of the difference between
the governor general and his advisers
which led to this result can not be
learned from official sources, but the
trouble seems to have been caused by a
determination on the part of the gov
ernment to not recognize the cathedral
service officials lest it be construed as
acknowledging state church i'll Canada.

II. F. Wichman's experience, owing to
the grade of goods which he handles Is
probably the best barometer of the
business brought by the holiday sea
son. Mr. Wichman said yesterday:
The business has been of most sat

run OF sales has been of small articles
there will be as large an aggregate Of
business as was done last year. There
have been some sales of the highest
class goods which we carry but it can
be said that the usual purchase was
smaller in cost than has been the US

to be running to the best grades of
goods in their supplies and that the
plum pudding and solid food buyers
were out in force. There was too Il great
demand for fancy groceries and that
from the indications there was more
business being done than marked the
holiday occasions last year.
Mr.. Harry Lewis said that their force
was overworked in endeavoring TO sup

good things of life. The buying, he
said. was of a substantial character.

to indicate that there should be no one
who would fail to find on the groaning
tables of the city's homes just what
would tempt the most fastidious appe-
tite. The stores were filled with people
all day and the wagons were running
till late last night in getting the neces-
Saries into the homes.
There has been a more than usually
active trade in the line of tOvS and sim
liar pretty and amusing things for the
little ones. The only difference between
the closing season and that Of last year
has been the increased inquiry for
small toys. where formerly the large
ones held the attention Of the buyers.
Thus where formerly the largest dolls
and the most elaborate games we're
called for and the people spent much
time i'm sitting the various things Of
fered for the deIectation OF the little
folk. now they seemed to be- content
with the lighter varieties Of amuse-
ment.
John Soper of the Hawaiian News
Company said that the trade had been
entirely satisfactory To his house and
that the toys which had been brought
in found ready sale. The demand IHr
books had grown until yesterday the
buyers had exceeded those of the last
day before Christmas last year.
Thomas Wall of Nichols Com
pany had much the same evidence TO
Offer. saying that the demand for toys
was good and that the only falling off
from last year was noticeable in the
lack Of demand for books Of the high
er grades. The buyers had seemed to
want small things rather than the
