She Is under bonds to appear in the
Kansas capital today for trial In con-
nection with her operations In that

back here, and If things were not prop |
erly taken care of by the authorities |
she and her friends would take matters |
into their own hands, and to use her |
own expression: I'VE viii make SOU !
yenirs."
Her meeting with the saloon keepers, |
which she announced that she would |

Tuesday night, and in which her grand |
son is manager. and delivered a talk
to the people she found there. IL was
a motley throng, embracing all classes.
Mrs. Nation mounted table and for
10 Minutes talked with great energy
AS she left the saloon she saw wo-
man with a black eye, and asked her
who gave it to her. ASK your grand
son. said the woman. He knows asl
much about the giving of it as do
