| Nailon and the officer as they started
TO the county jail. The officer was
Obliged TO draw his pistol to keep the
crowd back. II was with the utmost
difficulty that the jail was reached
CARRIE IN GOOD HUMOR.
All along the way Mrs Nation was
In the best Of humor. The route TO the
jail was through the most arlstocratic
part Of the city, and as the people ran
| 10 their doors TO watch the strange
sight of great mob fling up Topeka
avenue on quiet Sabbath afternoon
they were met with smiling greetings
| from Mrs. Nation. Young men In the
| residences pleasantly nodded and then
| tipped their hats IN the most gallant
manner possible.
AT THE JAIL
| The news Of the arrest OF Mrs Nation
had reached the downtown district by
| this time, and as the officer hove In
| sight with his prisoner he saw the
| street In front Of the jail one seething
mass of humanity. Farther up the
| street hundreds Of others, men, women
and children were running to the jail
| az fast as their feet would carry them,
If the Interest in Mrs Nation had at
any time been latent. II had now bro
ken out with fever heat.
BEATEN BACK WITH CLUBS.
The chief Of police with a detail OF
officers was on the scene and 1t took
much hard work. together with the Wig
orous use Of clubs, and threats of worse
treatment to get an opening In the
crowd sufficient to permit Mrs. Nation
10 be taken into the Jail office. II was a
crowd bent for the most part on curl
sity but there We're many turbulent
spirits there. and for a time It looked
like serious trouble would ensue.
ALMOST A RIOT.
Nobody knew any reason for riot,
but the rioters were there and a riot
was narrowly averted. At no time was
Mrs. Nation in the least alarmed She
remarked more than once that it was a
very nice looking lot of people, and that
she loved them very much
GETTING THE BOND.
There was some delay in getting a
bond for Mrs, Nation, and in the mean
ti~ entertained the lawyers and
newspaper men present In some of her
Characteristic ways.
Mrs. Nation soon became anxious
about her bond "Oh, now / see" she
said why they are keeping me here
this way They knew was going about |
the Lords work this afternoon. and |
the devil put It into their heads to keep |
me here so | could not do IL.
APPEALS TO SHERIFF.
"oh, say. Mr. Sheriff Cook, There's
something rotten In Denmark this af- |
ternoon. Why are my bondsmen not |
sent or? Oh, there's a method in all |
this madness as Shakespeare said
once"
1T will be here soon,' said the sher-
If. please be quiet. Mrs. Nation" But
the bond did not come.
JoINTIsT SIGNS HER BOND.
Mrs. Nation then went out on the |
front steps Of the Jail and appealed for
somebody to sign her bond Nick Chlles
a negro Jointist, came In and signed II, |
and soon Mrs. Nation was free. She
was followed up the avenue by thou
sands, but at last reached her lodging
place. The city is excited tonight, but
no more raids are expected until to-

exclaimed hundred women, many of
them shedding tears in their excite

The scene was dramatic. and not

Mrs. Nation had said that she had
come to move on the joints. She had
completely captured them. Mrs. Nation
said she was going TO remain. right

HOME DEFENDERS CALLED.
The meeting then adjourned. some
resolutions protesting against the i'm
pending resubmission resolution In the
legislature. and as the meeting adj
journed Mrs Nation asked the Home
Defenders 10 meet her at the close OF
the meeting She was going on another
smashing tour
But her plans were destined to be
frutless. Deputy sheriff Lawson was
waiting in the vestibue OF the church
all the while. and when Mrs. Nation
came out he stepped up TO her with the
gentlemanly remark that he had a war
rant for her arrest
ANOTHER WARRANT FOR HER.
Mrs. Nation smiled good naturedly.
Another warrant" she exclaimed.
What can that be for? They have
served three upon me already today

| they were smashed.
Mrs Nation then led the way to the
Moser ColdStorage plant, where the
jontists of the city have been in the
habit OF storing their fixtures. Only a
few went out with her. but she was de-
termined that this should be treated
the same as the joints Mrs Nation
managed TO enter the cod-storage
plant but found herself In the poultry
room. She then tried another place
and got into the engine-room.
MAKES A SCENE.
By this time Sheriff Cook and Chief
OF Police Stahl came upon the scene
and placed her under arrest. This
time she made quite a scene and was
taken TO the county Jail in the patrol
wagon. Her arrest this time was on
a county warrant sworn TO by the cold
storage people. charging her with
breaking a lock.
There had been quantity Of liquor
In the plant the night before, but the
proprietors, In anticipation of possible
trouble, had stored II In large freight
car on the Rock Island tracks, and
had arrangements made for q switch
engine to come up at moments no.
tice and pull the car out of the way OF
danger. Some OF the people accom-
panying Mrs. Nation noticed that Il
was queer for a car to be In that
position. but no attempt was made TO
enter II.
THIRD ARREST OF sMAsHER.
When Mrs. Nation was again taken
down she was confronted with an
other arrest. This time II was for en-.
tering the Murphy Joint. BY this time
the people of the city had begun 10
wake up, and soon the streets were
full of eager seekers after the latest
news. Extra issues OF the morning
papers containing the details OF the
dramatic happenings were eagerly
purchased.
MRS. NATION TRIUMPHs.
Mrs. Nation thus gained one triumph
in the morning. but another was re-
served for her In the afternoon. Mrs.
Eva Marshall Shontz Of Chicago was
addressing an immense mass meeting
OF men and women in the First Chris
tan church, when she all at once
stopped with the remark. well I
guess there Is no use OF me trying to
speak any more"

The people looked toward the main
entrance OF the church and saw the

pernatural there is often less rather
than more than is "dreamt of in philos-
ophy."
In the English county of Wiltshire
there lived a woman whose deceased
husband had been pig dealer. After
his death it was her habit to remark
to chance visitors, without looking out
the window:
That's a nice lot of young pigs,
those"
"Where?' the person present was
sure to ask.
Comm down the road" was the in
variable reply. They're in cart,
and, what's more, there's a fine fat
SOW among EN-
And 1t would not be long before a
cart would appear and in it litter of
pigs and among them the SOW which
the woman had perceived at such a
distance up the road. One day a Wis
itor, who saw in this exhibition an
evidence of second sight, exclaimed:
How do you do 1t? 1t is simply Won

"'Tain't no miracle" was the modest
reply. I've just got my ear trained
