SOLEMN WARNING
70 LIQUOR MEN.
Continued From First Page.

The ultimatum was written by a.
committee of which Robert Smith. a
leading business man, was chairman.
There were number of addresses
in which Mrs. Nation came in for her
full share OF credit
f. P Lindsay said there had been
a slumbering volcano of public indig-
nation against the liquor sellers in To-
peka for several weeks, and that it re-
manned for "Old Mother Nation to
come along and touch off the crater
with her Ratchet"
Dr.. j. T. Mcfarland said that PROV
idence had a faculty of doing things
in an unconstitutional way. Some OF
his greatest surprises came at times
when they were least looked for. Crom-
well, Luther, Wesley and John Brown
had dared to brave the ire Of public
sentiment, and had accomplished good
for humanity, and now in this later
day Mrs. Nation had done the same
thing with the result that the joints in
Kansas. and especially in Topeka,
would have to go.
Chief of Police Stahl made an adj
dress. He said the law could be en-
forced if the entire police machinery
of the city would work in unison with
him. The audience amid many cheers
adopted a resolution demanding thai
the City Council at its next meeting
confirm the denomination of Mr.. Stahl
for chief Of police.
Twelve hundred men signed their
names to cards pledging themselves
to be ready at moments notice to
join the army which has been recruit
ed to stamp cut the joints by the time
the limit set by the ultimatum expires.
There seems to be no question that
the next few days in Topeka will see
