The free employment agencies au-
thorized by the state of Illinois have
been in operation in Chicago for about
two years, and their reports answer
some of the questions raised when
the matter was under discussion in
the Legislature. 1t was doubted
whether these agencies could be
brought into sympathetic relations
with those seeking work; whether
they would not be used by irresponsi-
bic oilers to further criminal schemes,
and whether they would be patronized
by those proficient in the trades.
These doubts have been settled All
Glasses of workers have taken advan-
tage of the opportunity offered, and
the Offices have been patronized by
hotels, restaurants, hospitals, theatres,
railroads, by scores Of the best bust
ness houses, and by hundreds of fami-
lies. A sample report is that of the
South Side Office. which shows for the
wear ended with September last. TO-
681 applications from men and boys,
1878 Of whom were provided with
employment; and $3.50 applications
from women and girls. for 8401 Of
whom places We're found. The aver.
age cost Of finding employment for
each was "a cents.

RAISING CAIN IN KANSAS.
Joint Smashers Are Still Making
Things Lively In rIany
Towns of the State.

At Perry, Kansas, Friday night,
fifteen prominent women, led by the
wives Of q Methodist minister and a
bank cashier, raided several "joints."
With hatchets and axes they demolish-
ed fixtures right and left, entailing a
loss in that particular saloon alone of
more than $1,000
Twenty whiskey barrels, sixty-two
kegs of beer aud twenty cases of wine
were carried into the streets, where
they were chopped into kindling wood
and their contents flowed away in the
cutters.
A drug store was the last place
visited. The proprietor was accused
of quenching the thirst Of local inc
briates and his stock was quickly de-
stroyed.
A special from Arkansas City, Kas.,
says: Seventy men, led by the minis
ters of this city, crossed the Arkansas
river Saturday and demolished the
Last Chance" saloon. All the Joints"
in the town had been closed for several
days, but the "Last Chance" being
outside the city limits, its proprietor
continued to do a hourishing business.
When the crowd swept down upon the
place the bartender was asleep. He
was backed into a corner at revolver's
point and witnessed the complete de-
molition of the fixtures and stock.
Lanham, Neb., is in an uproar over
the liquor question. Money has been
raised to clean out the joint keepers.
The town is peculiarly situated, the
main street being the line between
Kansas and Nebraska, just as the main
street of the town of Bristol is the
dividing line between Virginia and
Tennessee. Although a town of only
200 inhabitants, it has for years given
officers of both states no end of trouble,
offenders from one state moving to the
other at will and thus evading the
officers.
There was a free-for-all fight at Be-
lott Saturday, arising from the feeling
over the joints. The temperance men
and women insisted on inspecting the
places to see that their orders for
closing had been observed.
The investigating committee was
followed by a large crowd. Soon an
alarm of fire was sounded and a hose
cart dashed up and the fremen COM
menced throwing water on the crowd.
Some men attempted to cut the hose,
but were prevented by a display of re-
volvers. After several had been more
or less hurt several arrests were made
and quiet was restored

her was when Mrs. Nation emerged
from the church where the mass meet

The appellate court of Indiana has
decided that man and his wife are
not one. The decision was rendered
in a suit brought by Alvira Daley
against her husband, Alpheus. He
had made her verbal promise that if
she would join with him in a deed
conveying his farm. valued at $4,000,
he would give her his note for $1,000
The deed was signed, but Alpheus re-
fused to make good the note. insisting
that he and his wife were one, and
that, therefore. the contract could
not be valid. The appellate court
held that. while this was the old
English rule. it does not held good in
Indiana.
