Wichita, KAMA drug store and two
saloons were wrecked at Anthony by
fourteen all members of the
w, C. r. u, and the damage exceeds
$4,000. The women were led by Mrs
Mary Sheriff, of Danville. The others
were Mrs. NJ. ]. Teavis, Mrs, WilSdm
Scott, Mrs. f. FL. Brubacker, Mrs
Louise Tracey, Mrs. t. j. Hopes, Mrs
Charles Robinson, Mrs. John Kendall

They first attacked Henley's drug
store from the rear. Mrs. Sheriff
smashed in the door and her followers,
all armed with hatchets, pickaXes anc
hammers, rushed inside. Five armed
men. husbands of some of h crusad'
ers. stood outside to prevent interior
ence. The women wrecked the bar,
one plate glass mirror and a cash reg
lister. Under a counter were seven cases
of LIQUOR which the women overlooked,
Next they went to the "Klondike'
saloon. Here the bartender had barrl
caded the doors and was standing in
side with a revolver in his hand. He
told the women he would shoot If they
tried TO enter. The men ~thereupon
broke down the door and smashed the
plate glass windows. All the women
then rushed inside and Mrs. Sheriff
ordered them 10 make the wreckage
complete. After ten minutes active
work in the "Klondike" the women
made for another saloon and wrecked
the interior of that.
Mrs. Sheriff, who came from Dan
vile, in Harper County, says she is
the original saloon smasher in Kansas,
having wrecked a saloon at Danville
several days before Mrs. Nation raid
ed the Carey Annex here. She came
to Anthony and organized her forces,
The women of the w. G. 7. U. agreed
TO follow her. All were heavily yelled
during their raid, and for some time
Mrs. Sheriff was mistaken by the
crowd for Mrs. Nation. After the raid
Mrs. Sheriff threw off her veil and said
10 the officers:
Il am sent from God to do this work
and not from Mrs. Nation. l will dc
more smashing than Mrs. Nation has
done and will not talk SO much about
it. / intend to raid all the saloons in
Southern Kansas and that viii be
enough work for one woman to do"
After the women had raided the
third place they knelt down on the
sidewalk aud prayed. Mayor Brown
Immediately swore in extra police to
prevent further destruction of proper
ty and the county attorney swore out
a warrant charging Mrs, Sheriff with
smashing a '%joint" at Darville six
weeks ago. Warrants for the other
women were not issued. The saloons
at Anthony closed temporarily.
Mrs. Lucy Wilhoite is conducting a
saloon-wrecking crusade in Wichita.
Up to this time eight saloons have
been raided and $4,000 worth of prop
erty destroyed by women in Kansas
Saloon men here expect a general TEN
opranee crusade.

In 1897 q resident of Washington
borrowed S250G from the association,
buying at the same time $2500 of its
stock. On his loan he paid FIVE per
cent. interest, and in addition five per
cent. Of what the company called pre-

these payments amounted to abou,
$3.50 n year, Up to this time the man
mas paid in 5000. yet he still owes the
entire S2500 that he borrowed, and has
paid for only S1100 of his stock. This
shareholder complains further that.
though he was told he would receive
ten per e Interest on his stock, he
never received a dollar of it.
The Secretary of a MoTayian church
In Pennsylvania recently wrote to tho

by his father or his sister should BE-

The worst fire in the history of Mat

comprising the business section of the
town, a few days ago. Tie losses vii
amount to $1,000 DOC. Several othei
ires were burning at the same time IL
different parts Of the town, and all are
thought to be undoubtedly the work OF
i~ncendiaries. The local volunteer fire
companies were able to do little OF
nothing with the flames, and had II
not been for the timely arrival of the

town would probably have been de
stroyed. just as the fire started Bar

originated from a badly insulated cleo
