YOUNG GIRLS CRUSADE.
Smash the Summit Saloon at Wichita
and Are Arrested.

Wichita, Kas., May 13.-Miss Winnie
Kilgore, Miss Anna PEBBLES, Miss Josa-
mine Wilhoite and the latter's brother
VIII raided the Summit saloon here late
Saturday afternoon. They smashed in
the front with hammers and rocks.
The front Of the saloon having been
demolished, the quartette proceeded to
enter, but We're met at the door by the
astonished Fritz. Mine Got, are dere
gone crazy? thought that Frau Ma
ton was the only one who done it.
I'VE did it, came the response. Fritz
made for one of the girls, but the fist of
viii WilhOite interfered and sent him
sprawling to the sidewalk, the blood
squirting from the mouth and nose.
Soon there was general melee in
which the girls used their hammers and
teeth. The original quartette gave
themselves up, and apparently consid-
cred the whole affair as a huge joke
None of the girls is over IS, while VIII
Wilhoite is about 20. They succeeded in
creating more disturbance than Carrie
Nation ever did. Miss WilhOite is the
daughter of the woman of the same
name who figured in the eScapade With
Carrie Nation. They were taken to jail.
Wilbur b. Jones was induced to go the
bond and the judge said he would ap-
prove it. Mr.. Jones and the smasherS
then went forward and there was some
delay, owing to a misunderstanding on
the part of the bondsman and the two
men accused about the exact amount
OF the DOnU 4uey lnOuSHl tLdt = uOSS
Stanley meant $50 apiece, and the total
bond required for the five would be $3.50,
but the judge said $50 on each count, or
one count against Greener, $50; two
counts each against the three women,
or $500, and three counts, or $50, against
Wilhoit $50 for assault and battery, $50
for disturbing the peace, and $50 for the
destruction of property, making a total
of $500 for the party. Finally Mr.. Jones
signed the bond and the five new re-
cruits of the Home Defenders were re-
leased.

KING GIVES A HOME.
White Lodge Fitted Up For Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall.

New York, May 13-Tt is said that
the king intends to fit up White Lodge,
at Richmond, as an outer London resi-
dence for the Duke and Duchess of
Cornwall, says the London correspon-
dent of the Tribune. The house is small
but it is admirably suited for the pur-
pose, and, moreover, the duchess spent
her childhood and girlhood there At
present the place is vacant It belongs
to the crown, and some of the furniture
is also royal property.
The king, attended only by one of the
gentlemen of his court, paid a surprise
visit to the house Sunday. AS he drove
through Kew Gardens he was quickly
recognized and loudly cheered- The peo-
pie were wonderfully enthusiastic and
the sovereign evidently was pleased
with the warmth of his reception.

sssPOTTER. ARRESTED.
Joseph J. Garrett is Wanted by Fed
eral Authorities in Illinois.

Joseph J. Garrett was arrested late
Saturday afternoon on warrant charg-
ing him with having violated the United
States internal revenue laws in Illinois
by selling oleomargarine without a gov
eminent license.
The arrest was made by Deputy Mar

He claims that he was given permits
sion to come here by the judge of the
Illinois branch of the federal court. This
judge told him, so he says, that if he
should quietly move away from Illinois
and start in again there would be no
effort made to press the case against
him. Garrett was at one time employ
ed as a ''spotter'' to secure evidence
against the jointistS for the police.

LIQUOR CONTRACT GOOD.
Supreme Court Decides That Bill For
California Wines Must Be Paid.

In determining the validity of several
notes given by @. E.. Case and George
l. NdcNea1, of Wichita, in payment for
a consignment of California wines, the
supreme court advanced q new PROPOSE
tion. 1t held that the laws of a sister
state in the absence of proof, will be
presumed to be the same as our own,
and this presumption extends to the
statutory law as well as the comm on
law Of said state
Judge Pollock, in his opinion, holds
that as Intoxicating liquors may be
lawfully sold for certain purposes. in
an action upon notes alleged to have
been given as evidencing the purchase
price of pure California Wines it is not
incumbent upon plaintiff to allege a
compliance with the restrictions of the
law in making a sale. A compliance
Herewith will be presumed"
The supreme court reversed the lower
court and decided that the contract was
good.

WISE Is READY.
Has Paving Estimates to Submit to
the Council Tonight

II am going to give the council all
sorts of estimates on paving tonight,
said City Engineer Wise this morning,
as he sat at his desk attaching his
autograph to a lot of official docu-
ments.
owing to the constant changes which
have been made in the paving petitions
continued Mr. Wise, 1T is impossible to
make one set of estimates do. But this
Office has never been behind in its work,
and it never will so long as I am con-
nected with it. The mayor called me
down at the last meeting of the council
because I was unable to get the esti-
mates ready. I am still handicapped
this week, but I have made out various
kind of estimates, so that whatever
changes they make. I am pretty likely
to have an estimate which will fit the
case. It has been about twice the usual
amount of work to do this, but I will
show the council that the engineers
Office is ready to do more than its part
to hasten the construction of the new

PAIR TWICE Welded.
Their First Marriage Illegal, and Law
full Union Speedily Follows

Vandalia, Ill, May 13.-Charies Mans
men of this city and Miss Minnie Reed
Of Greenville, Bond county, procured
license papers here to marry. Instead
Of having the ceremony performed here
they went to GreenviIle and secured the
services of Rev. ". W. Hopkins of
KirkwoOd, No, who married them
there Tt appears that the officiating
minister, as we'll as the newly welded
couple, was ignorant of the fact that
such a marriage was illegal, as the
license permits the ceremony to take
place only in the same county where the
papers are issued When it become
known, another license was procured,
this time from the county clerk of Bond
county. and Rev. Mr. Hopkins was
again called upon to tie the nuptial
knot, the ceremony taking place at the
Christian church in Greenville.

OBSERVATIONS ON ICE.
Mayor Drew Says Topeka is Paying
Twice as Much as Houston.


Ex-A1ayor c. J. Drew returned yes
terday from Houston, Texas. and other
points in that vicinity. He is trustee
for $40 acres of land about thirty miles
from Beaumont, and was looking over
the ground for the purpose of determ-
lining the ACCESSIBILITY of drilling there
for oil.
Mr.. Drew also has something of in
terest to say about ice:
In Houston they sell the best manu-
featured ice for 40 cents a hundred, de-
hvered in fifty pound lots to private
families That shows what sort Of a
proposition we are up against here in
Topeka Here we have to pay just
double the price-40 cents for fifty
pound LOTS
Mr.. Drew says that the southern part
Of Texas is bursting with excitement
about the Beaumont gushers. Every
where wells are being drilled There are
good oil indications all over the south
ern part Of the state and people general
~ believe that gushers equal to those
at Beaumont can be found in many 9TH
er places besides Beaumont

New York, May 13.-The double holiday

much needed rest and relief to the over
taxed Wall street broker, who will re-
turn to work IN some measure refreshed

counts will have been fully posted up and

is a distinct advantage in this fact. bear
ing up on the uninterrupted working Of
Wall street machinery. What is now
waited for IS positive news as to
the London fortnightly settlement
in stocks. It is to be supposed that
the firms which were lenient toward the
unfortunate New York shorts in Northern
Pacific common will not make such ex-
actions in London as to provoke fresh
market disorder. The private and public
cables on this point are. reassuring- The
next important consideration affecting
the market relates to the progress in tho
negotiations for clearing the railroad at

ence committee of the members of the

State Timber Sale.

The state timber board Satur-
day approved estimates made by
the state cruisers of timber on
state lands believed to be liable
to waste or in danger Of fire.
The estimates include about
100000 feet of timber, mostly
in st. Louis, Itasca, Beltrami,
Cass and Lake counties, which
will be offered for sale at the
state capitol No. 5.
The appraised value Of the
timber is about S4.75 per thous-
and. At least a 25 per cent cash
payment must accompany any
purchase. The state auditor can
require a still larger per cent II
he deems it necessary. The
balance is paid after the timber
has been scaled by the surveyor
general of the district.
