Would Not Eat Breakfast on That
Account.
W. c. I. U. WOULDN'T FOLLOW HER
Talked Temperance in Front of the
Hotel to Crowd After Which She
Left for Ottawa for Few Days
Rest"

Hope, Kan. Jan. 25.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation, who came here from Enter
prise last night, has abandoned the
idea to damage saloons here, because
she is alone, none of the temperance
people here joining her. She refused
to eat breakfast for fear of being pois-
oned, and talked temperance to a
crowd in front of the hotel. At 10
o'clock she left for Ottawa for a few
days rest.
Mrs. Nation Has an Imitator.
After reading the accounts of Mrs.
Carrie Nations crusade against sa-
looms in Kansas, Fred Lawrence start
ed out yesterday afternoon to emulate
her example in Chicago. He imbibed
freely, however, and when he attempt
ed to wreck the buffet of Max Shahtel,
at 1923 Clark street, he was in no
condition to Withstand the opposition
of the bartender. Before the arrival
of the police he succeeded in overturn-
ing the stove and breaking all the
glassware in sight, but shot fired at
him by Camille Marse cut short his
crusade and caused him to seek safe
ty in flight.

TROUBLE OVER SMALLPOX TEST.

been decided to institute criminal pro-
ceedings against Rodermund as soon
as he is released from quarantine.
1t is generally believed that DR.. Rod
ermund is insane and apprehension is
entertained that he will attempt to
shoot his guards. The feeling in the
city is at such high tension that
should DR.. Rodermund succeed in es-
Gaping his guards and be seen on the
streets it is pretty certain that he
would be tarred and feathered, if not
Iynched.
The doctor has engaged Gabe
Bouck, an Oshkosh attorney, TO COM
mence habeas corpus proceedings to
effect his release from quarantine.
He remains under quarantine with
little other that verbal resistance.
Last evening he made demand to be
allowed to walk on the sidewalk in
front of his house and offered some
show of force to attain his end, but
desisted when the police remained
firm. He is allowed the freedom of
his yard.

INDIANS ARE QUIET.
Newspaper Correspondent Says Stu

Kansas City, Jan. pa staff cor

Creek country to investigate the trou-
BILE among the Indians, wires today the
following:
"Muskogee, |. T., Jan. 26.-That the
situation regarding The Creek Indians
uprising has been somewhat exagger-
ated by certain correspondents there
is no doubt. 1t is true the Indians are
restless but SO far no violence has
been done, and it is questionable if
a shot will be fired. However, the
Snake band is well organized and If
whisky should get among them or
some deputy become indiscreet, there
might be some trouble. But a gener-
al uprising at the present time is out
OF the question. The presence of I'm

bound to have good effect, not that
they are necessarily needed to do any

not given Crazy Snake any authority
to make Creek laws as he is claim

Des Moines, Jan. 26.-It has been

Such defect as this cannot help
but be fatal. Indeed it is probable
that the supreme court, which is now

Clinton, Jan. 26.-The grand jury
had call from half dozen ministers
who wanted to confer with them. The
talk lasted a half hour and was decid-
eddy interesting. The ministers said
they had agreed to truce of twenty
five days in order to permit the sa-
loonkeepers to get under the mulct
law. They asked the grand jury to
give especial attention to wine rooms,
gambling and prostitution. The grand
jury has been at work a week on the
alleged wine rooms, but it is under
stood that they have not found any
positive evidence that any such places
exist The evidence is mostly being
furnished by former democratic po-
licemen who are assisted by politi-
clans who seem anxious to bring on a
prohibitory crusade.

Davenport Woman Asks to Be Locked
Up in San Francisco.

- ~ val
San Francisco, Cal, Jan. &c. - A
young woman who says her name is
Mrs. Daisy Littlewilder. or O'Meara,
recently entered the city prison and
asked that she be locked up because
she was a bigamist and knew that if
the man she had deceived knew it he
would surely kill her. Her story is
SO strange that the police are inclined
to- question her mental soundness.
She says she is twenty-five years Of
age and was married about five years
ago to Littlewilder at her home in
Davenport, Iowa. They lived together
two years, and then she ran away
from the man and came west, shortly
afterwards meeting John O'Meara, a
farmer, whom she married without
observing the formalities of divorce
from Littlewilder. The authorities
have not decided as yet what DISPOSE
ltion shall be made of the case.

Gardns Bonds of Saloon Keepers.
Des Moines, Jan. 25.-The supreme
courty esterday decided in case
from Winneshiek county that bonds
men of saloon keepers under the null
ct law cannot be held for penalties for

permit holders, that is, pharmacists
holding permits from the district

selling to minors. Bondsmen of the
mulet saloon keepers are liable, how
ever, for civil damages to be collect
