Mrs. Nation, or Medicine Lodge,

of that place, went to a saloon at
Wichita and demolished about
So, 900 worth of mirrors and other
fixtures. She was arrested and sent
to Jail where she remained, refusing
to be released on bond. She sent
for Sunday-school Stanley, who is
at present Governor of Kansas, and
she was refused, later the chief ex-
ecutive claimed to be sick. The
lady, no doubt, had read his recent
temperance interview and supposed
she could depend on him, but the
governor is one of those fellows who
talk temperance, but when it comes
to "show down" he's not there.

The board of inquiry investigat,
sng the hazing at the West Point
military academy which is alleged
to have caused the death of Cadet
Oscar L. Booz, of Penn, finds
plenty of evidence that hazing is
carried on there as much as ever.
Putting tabasco sauce in the mouths
of cadets, bracing and other forms
of hazing are commonly practiced
That hazing is not confined to any
one school is evidenced by the re.
cent treatment of Frank Lust, a
student of the Northwestern Uni
versity, who was stripped, his body
covered with ink and soft soap and
otherwise treated in such a brutal
manner that he tainted while being
taken home.

A curfew law is being enacted by
many cities and towns which requires
all children under the age of ID or
I6 years to be off the street and at
home after given hour in the even
ing, generally 9 o'clock. This is a
wise act and could be enforced with
profit by every municipality in the
country. Young children can learn
nothing good by being on the street
alone or with others usually found
there late in the evening and the
chances are that they will learn
much which is sinful, so they are
better off at home.

The war in South Africa is being
continued as vigorously as ever.
The Beers, who have no towns to
defend, confne their operations to
skirmisheing and attacking British
forces not easily or quickly reached
with re-enforcements. Some of the
recent battles have been as large
and disastrous to the British as
those during the earlier period of
the war which Lord Roberts has
pronounced as being over. In one
engagement nearly 500 British
troops were killed or taken prison
ers. The Beers do not care to
bother with their prisoners nor feed
them, so they are returned after tax
ing away their arms and ammuni-
ton. Gen. DeWet, who has been
trapped several times, has succeeded
in eluding capture even when SEEM
ingly surrounded by superior
force. His efforts are strikingly in
line with the remarkable escapes of
Gen. Washington during the Revo-
lutionery war. Lord Kitchener has
asked that all available mounted in
fantry be dispatched at once to
South Africa. The war already cost
England S5ao, 900, 900, Al, 900 men
and 500, 900 horses and mules.
