For That Purpose.

The feature Of the morning session at
the meeting Of the State Temperance
union was the talk by Chief of
Police r. M. Stahl of Topeka. He said:
II have lived in this state nearly A years
and 1 like to tell of 1t and its goou
things We believe in law and order
Three weeks ago q colozed man stole Il
coat and was caught and sent to the
penitentiary three years for it Recently
another colored man stole some meat
from North Topeka butcher and he is
in Jail now. So you see we are faithful
in some respects.
I'VE have no open saloons here. They
are ali behind locked doors. When the
of1icers visit a place, by the time they
gain an entrance the bottles and peer
pump have disappeared.
1.-THE Topeka fointist plans to protect
himself He places a guard inside the
door and when any one knocks at tire
door he peeps through and II the Visltor
is apparently all right he gains an en-
trance. He also has an attorney paid 70
look after his interests ana as soon as
arrested has bondsmen ready and get
out to start in business again.
ssHow I want to tell you about our
visit to a joint about a week ago. we
went to S03 Kansas avenue upstairs, two
doors from the transfer station. we
took sledge hammer along and one
policemen pounded until ne gave out ana
another took the sledge- He soon played
out and by the time another struck
dozen blows the door was opened, only
for the officers to discover that the, coll
frabaud stuff had been disposed OF. Tie
door was six inches thick and since that
raid It has been strengthened by having
strips of iron put across it. The Win
dosVs have been barred with iron.
And I don't believe Mrs Nation
could get in with her hatchet either. The
next time I raid the place she may visi-
it with me if she wants.
This city is governed by a team CT
five men, the mayor, the city attorney

IF we had police judge who was in
sympathy with the cause our objects
might be accomplished.
IN the Raynor case which was in the
court recently. we had eight distinct
counts beside the nuisance charge We
had evidence enough. and it could not be
refuted. 1t was possible that the judge
could have imposed 3 fine Of $4,000 and
a medium fine would have been $4,000.
He could have been put to a $4,000 BOND
but instead was only required to give
500 bond.

JACOB srorLER.

TFrom the Emporia Gazette.1
Jacob Stotler is dead. He died at St
T.uke's hospital in Kansas City. He
went there Thursday. hoping that an
operation would give him a new lease
on life. after his vitality had been sap
ped BY the grip. Death came TO him
without pain, and he passed away easily
and naturally. with his son william by
his bed side.
Probably the news of Stotler's death
brought sadness to more hearts in this
town than the news OF any other death
that has come since Plumb died. For
Stotler was beloved-and that is the
precise term to be used-by nearly
everyone. He made friends by his gen.
tie quiet way, and ne held the friend
ship once built till death made the
breach. Yet ne was q man OF much
force. when he was young and vigor-
Gus, he was one of the strong men OF
Emporia- He helped to make the town.
He helped to influence its destiny
Jacob Stotler who was born in Mary
land in 'sa. came to Emporia from Ohio
in 1857. He was Influenced to come
ov p B. Plumb. TIE two boys were
printers Stotier's best education which
was practical and liberal was q. printing
office education. After. working little
while ON the Herald OF Freedom at
lawrence. .Stotler came to Emporia and
worked for Plumb who was just about
to start the kansas News Stotler
laid the type" He put the Office in
shape Plumb was the outside man.
IN a year he took StOtler in as a partner,
and later sold the business to him. 1t
was as editor OF the Emporia News that
St0tler made his name and fame. ana
old his work IN the world he wrote
and worked and talked for Emporia- 1t
seems easily demonstratable that more
people who live I'm Emporia are here be-
cause something that Srotler wrote
brought them here. than are here be-
cause or the persuasion or any other
one man. He was secretary Of the ter
ritorial council in 1850 and In 81 was
secretary Of the state senate At the
close OF the session be was appointed
postmaster by President Lincoln and
resigned IN "a in favor Of the widow
oE a soldier who fell at Wilson's creek
That was like hin-always generous,
always doing the manly thing He went
10 the legislature in '65 and IN s. When
Emporia was Incorporated he was elect
ed a trustee. Later he was secretary
0f the Republican state central COM
Taittae and was postmaster In She severn
ties and early eighties. I'm 1854 he left
11mporia, sold his paper and went to
wellington. That was the mistake OF

A yesterday morning dispatch COIL
veyed to the people of this state the in
formation that Hon. Jacob Stotler had
died the day before in q Kansas City
hospital of a chronic ailment he nav
ing. almost reached his three score years
and ten, Of which forty-four years had
been spent in the territory and state or
Kansas. For thirty years, or more or
up to within the decade last past the
men who were more prominent or better
known to the Kansas public could have
been counted on the fingers ends. AS
an editor and publisher, as a legislator
and all around public servant he put
forth. unremittingly, for full quar-
ter OF a century all that was within
him for the upDuilding OF his town ana
for the glory Of his adopted state. While
others Of his associates and cOn1rereS
were in the meantime looking out for
the interests OF No. !. and laying by for
a possible rainy day, StOtler increasingly
expended himself and gave OF all MS
accumula lions, and unStintedlys Tor the
good of the whole. He was one of the
original founders Of the city of En1porta,
his squatter's claim adjoining the pres
emit bounds OF the town, for which com
munity socially. politically and material
ly he did more than any man living or
dead. He was ever contributing OF MS
savings and winnings until the muta-
tiOns OF time and untoward circum-
stances found him no longer indepen-
dent of the support Of those whom he
had so long and faithfully served, when
he lost all. home, newspaper and every
thing since which life for the good,
pure. noble and unselfish man who died
in that Kansas City hospital, day be-
fore yesterday, has been a struggle, and
often an unequal one The names OF
the public men of Kansas who appreci-
ated StOtIer most. and who would the
most sincerely now regret his lot and
demise can only be found on tomb
stones with few exceptions they having
all preceded him to that realm of by
cones and forgottens. The state he
helped to found, the institutions he
helped to plant. the community he so
largely built up. win endure, but un-
mindful of the heart that bled in dis
appointment, not even for long remem-
bering the life, efforts or the name Of
the man who in possessing such heart
had thus expended It.

Guests at the Hotel Throop Are
Asphyxiated.

There was great excitement at the
Throop hotel last night occasioned by
men who blew out the gas before retir-
ing. The men were in different rooms
When the odor of gas was detected the
porter and night clerk began a search
and found one man almost overcome.
The other man was found a little later
and was also in a serious condition.
The hotel men refused to give the
names of the men who blew out the gas,
but it was learned that one was q

drink up all the liquor in town before
Mrs. Nation could spill it, and the other
was a man from the short grass country
who came to attend the State Temper
