WAS A MERRY FIGHT.

A fierce fight followed between the
restaurant men and Mrs. Nations de-
Tenders. For a quarter of an hour they
struggled IL the street while the mob
yelled encoTragingly to Mrs. Nation
Many personal encounters took place.
Eyes were blackened and noses made to
bleed, but the police seemed without
power to stop it. Finally, in despair,
they arrested Mrs. Nation and took her
to Jail. The crowd followed her AMI the
restaurant was left unframed. Mrs
Nation was not injured.
During all the fierce struggle that
went on in the street while women ana
boys We're knocked down and tramplcd
on and the crowd was shouting a the
top of its voice, Mrs. Nation never los-
her presence of mind. The Ratchet was
Jerked from her hands, but that did not
disturb her She appeared surprised, but
smiled and called to the women:
Ladies, You are armed. If you can't
get to the place, throw your hatchets
through the windows
But the women We're too demoralizad
to obey her. They had not her presence
of mind. MIS-. Nation was led awav be-
tween two big police officers. She was
not downcast at her lack of success and
laughed when people spoke jestingly TO
her.

ROASTED THE POLICE.

She then delivered a scathing address
to members of the police force present
She said they would permit the joints to
run In open violation of the law all the
while and would then arrest the men
who were made drunk by the liquor
sold there. Mrs. Nation arraigned the
police, calling them towards, afraid to
arrest anybody but women and drunken
men, She went to the federal building
where she inquired for her mail. She
then mounted the steps Of the building
and made an address to the crowd. She
said she would smash all the joints of
the city and she would stay here long
enough to accomplish it.

WILL BE TRIED TODAY.

AT the police station Mrs Nation was
formally charged with disturbing the
peace and her name was entered on the
docket The police judge was at the
station. She refused to go to his room
to see him regarding her offense, bus in
sisted that he come to ner. which he
did. Mrs. Nation was informed that she
would have to report for trial at the
police court tomorrow and was then
released on her own recognizance
She said she would be glad to do So
and then proceeded to hold an i'm
promptu prayer meeting in the police
station. She prayed that the work that
she had begun in Topeka might be
abundantly prospered. While she was
praying a drunken man was brought
in by a policeman Mrs Nation went.

RAILWAYS READY RELIEF.
For internal and External Use.

In using medicines to stop pain We
should avoid such as inflict injury on the
system. Opium, Morphine, Chloroform.
Ether, Cocaine and Choral stop pain by
destroying The sense of perception, the
patient losirg the power of feeling This
is most destructive practice; It masks
the symptoms, shuts up, and, instead OF
removing trouble, breaks down the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, and If continued
for a length Of time, kills the nerves and
produces local or general paralysis
Thero is no necessity for using these
uncertain agents when a positive remedy

stop the most excruciating pain quicker

either infant or adult

PHONE TALK.

Rumor hath it that they're teaching elocution to the telephone girls in In- diana, and very good thing it is, too. Not that the telephone girls in Baltimore seem in need of such in struction-they'r q clear speaking set of young women as q rule-it's the other women of the town who would profit by lessons in talking through the phone.
 There was young person in drug store the other morning who combined in her small body all the faults of which the layman could be guilty ill this regard. She stood afar off, like the publican, and talked across the mouthpiece and shouted in a way to make wire communication with her friends almost unnecessary.
 ''Ahyougoing' g't'night?' she asked.
 II said ahyougoin' t'night?'' she shrieked again after q moments pause Yes, goin'. Yuh know we mus be thah by ha'fpas' six. Ha'fpas' six. Ha'fpas' six! It's very funny yuh cant heah meh when I can heah every word yuh say. Evah been any deafness in yoah family, Mamie? Deafness! Deaf ness, D-e-a-f-n-e-s-si We'll, it doesn't make any difference a-tall. If you'd juSs get the houah I'd be satisfied. I'll say it once noah. Ha'fpas' six! Get that? Well. Pm goin' tuh ring off. I've bin heah ten minutes now trying tuh make you understan'. If you're late I can't help it. Good-bye. I said good-byei'
 Not one word of all this was pro- nounced clearly. The young woman was evidently of a nervous tempera- ment and she ran her words together and left off their final letters in a way to make the late Iindley Murray shiv CT in his coffin. Yet she blamed those at the other end for not understanding her and doubtless considered herself q much-abused individual. Only q per son of Judge Dow. The court was haxe interpreted her remarks, and that the woman at the other end evidently didn't haye.z-Baltimore News

FIRE IN NEW YORK.

New York, Dec 12.-A five story building, 19S Broadway, occupied by the Dennison Manufacturing company, was badly damaged by q fire which started early this morning and which burned for some hours. The fire de- partment estimated the loss on build- S4.g and contents at S175,000. The in SS1rance was about two-thirds of that amount. Several thousand dollars
 worth of stock in building next door occupied by the Hegeman Drug cor poration was destroyed. The fire started on the third floor i'll the rear of the Dennison building, at q point where it was difficult for the firemen to work. It was one of the most spec tacular fires that has been seen in the lower business section in long time.

Tue Brevet List a Large one.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The army board which has been for several months preparing list of officers who shall be recommended for brevet rank in consideration of gallant service in Cuba, Porto Rico. the Philippines and China has completed it's work, and the report will be submitted to the secre- tary of war in a day or two. This list is to take the place of that laid before the senate last session and withdrawn before action. Notwithstanding that this board began with the purpose of very much restricting the bestowal Of brevets. they have been unable to keep the sum total of names much below 1000 in number. It is expected that President Roosevelt's name will be on the list with the rank of brigadier gen. eral of volunteers.
