Mrs. Nation, Wichita Saloon
Smasher Accepts Bail
TO WRECK MORE JOINTS
Is the Reason She Gives for
Accepting Release
She Feels very Certain that the work
she is Doing will Result in Great
Good for Temperance

Wichita, Kansas, Dec. 29.-Mrs.
Carrie Nation, who wrecked the Carey
hotel saloon Thursday and has since
been in the county Jail here, will be
released on bond tomorrow. Tonight
she at last gave her consent to an ar
rangement of this kind. Local mem
bers of the w. c. n. U. today secured
a bond signed by many Of the promi-
nent citizens of the city and obtained
the approval of it by the judge. All
that remains is to present the bond to
the sheriff and secure the release Of
Mrs. Nation.
81 guess will accept bond tomor-
row and get out SO that ! can smash
some more of these joints, said Mrs.
Nation tonight. 81 think my staying
in Jail will do much good toward
arousing public sentiment and arous-
ing public sympathy, as | have re-
ceived hundreds of letters from people
indorsing my actions. think some
more of these joints need to be wrecked
so as to impress the drunkards that we
mean business.
This afternoon large delegations of
temperance women held prayer smeet-
ing in Mrs. Nations cell and asked
advice about proceeding further with
the campaign of smashing joints. She
has not yet made her decision, but the
keepers of the joints are Watching her
actions suspiciously, Many women
visited the joints this afternoonl and
besought the keepers of them to close
up their illegal resorts.
The crusade against the saloons
here is assuming serious proper
tons and the saloon men are devising
means to get rid of Mrs. Nation. They
fear that her presence here will cause
them added trouble. One of the
schemes they have evolved is to have
her tried for insanity. The fact that
she has succeeded in clearing two
Kansas towns of joints is sufficient tc
fill them with alarm, and they do moi
hesitate to express it.
Today Mrs. Nation appealed to east
ern people to aid her in her fight. She
today refused to haveher picture taker
for the use OF the newspapers.
Interesting things are expected tC
happen at the trial of Mrs. Nation
which will take place January 5. The
saloon men are worrying for fear tho
interesting things will happen before
! that time.

TEACHERS
Phey Adopt Resolutions at
their Topeka Meeting
Expressing their Views on
Various Subjects. And
they are
PROUD OF THE PAPERS
OF Kansas, and they Want
the Pop Text Book law
Amended so as to make it
possible for the People
to get the Best Books

Topeka, Dec. 2S.-The Kansas State
Teachers association adopted the
following resolution just before TAX
ing the noon recess today:
'Be it resolved by the Kansas State
Teachers association ASSEMBLED in its
thirty-eighth annual meeting:
''First-That we thank the persons
to whom we are indebted for the use
of the state house, the nigh school
building, the Presbyterian and Bap-
tist churches and the Auditorium; the
Modocs and others who furnished
musi) for the association and all
9th RS to whom we are especially in
debted for the success of the present
meeting.
"Second-That we are proud of the
fact that the newspapers Of our state
are so very generally clean in lam
gaage and so free from what is OBJ
jectionable; and we call upon all who
are responsible for what is read by
the youth of our state TO aid the
teachers in the important matter of
moral instruction by encouraging an
existing tendency to promote the dis
semination of good literature.
'"Third-That moral and physical
training and the art side of education,
including such subjects as music,
drawing, kindergarten work and man
uai training, as far as time and means
will admit, should find a place in the
public schools of the state.
"Fourth-That we express our APP
proval of the educational administra-
tion OF the state as conducted by Sup
erintendent Nelson and the state
board of education.
"Fifth-That we renew our allegi-
ance to the Western School Journal,
which has always stood for the high
est and best interests of our schools,
the real welfare of the teachers of
Kansas and the development and up
building of character among our boys
and girls, and declare that our
hearty support should he given to
that clean and able school publica-
ton.
"Sixth- That it be the sense of this
association that the coming legisla-
ture should so amend the state text
book law as to enable the people of
Kansas to secure the best text book of
the day for the use Of their children
in the public schools and that what
ever books may be adopted the law
should permit the use in school of
supplementary books by pupils who
possess the adopted books and are
using them in good faith,
Seventh we believe the
bureau of education should be erected
into an Independent department, on
plane with the department of labor,
and that it should he so constituted
that it may be equipped to exercise
effective oversight of the educational
systems of Alaska and the several
islands now dependent upon us.
"Eighth-That we earnestly favor
a strong educational exhibit, repre-.
senting every department of educa'
ton, with the proposed Kansas semi
centennial exposition, and that We
commend Mr.. Longshore for his eff
forts in bringing this matter to the at
tention of the teachers and friends Of
education"

CHINA
YIELDS
The Chinese Ministers Have
Unexpectedly Received
Orders From the Emperor to
Sign the Agreement with
the Powers
QUESTIONS ARE SETTLED
Much Sooner and With Less
Protest than Expected
ALI the Emperor asks is that
the Best Terms Possible
be Made

Pekin, Dec. 30.-The Chinese pleni-
potentiaries have been unexpectedly
ordered to sign the preliminary joint
note and have notified the foreign en-
voys to that effect
The Chinese themselves were greatly
astonished at receiving the imperial
instructions. Neither Ii Hung Chang
nor Prince Ching had expected success
in persuading the court under ten days.
The emperor's, instructions are to
agree fully to the note, but to en-
deavor to get tie best terms possible,
particularly in the matter of limiting
the number of the legation guards and
also as to the places where these are
to be located.
The plenipotentiaries are instructed
to endeavor to limit the number OF
army posts along the line of railway
to as few as possible, and, finally, to
request the powers not to destroy the
forts. but merely to disarm them.
Ii Hung Changes health is bad, and
it is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than afiix his signature to
an instrument delegating his powers
to Prince Ching until another plenipo-
Tertiary has been appointed. He was
dressed this morning and carried in a
chair to the residence of Prince Ching,
with whom he held long consulta-
ton. Prince Ching then scalled upon
the dean of the diplomatic corps, the
Spanish minister, Senior de Cologan
and requested him to notify the other
ENJOYS that instructions had been re-
ceived from the emperor to sign the
note.

partment received a cablegram from
