The main attraction was Mrs. Carrie Ma

and put up at the Crawford House. At the
stations between here and Terre Haute
she was greeted by crowds of people, to
whom she made a short talk on her theme
of temperance. AS a nan was passing
through the car and carrying a cigar in his
HAND she asked him for the cigar. The
man gave it to her and she threw IL out of
the window. As soon as she got to the
hotel here she spied the night clerk smok-
ing a cigarette, and said she would not
stop at a hotel where cigarettes are
smoked. and told the man that he
would go to hades, but he told her she
would be there as soon as he would. She
went around town this morning and said
Shame for smoking!" TO those she would
meet who happened to be so doing. After
she had the night mans fate sealed she
spied the door leading to the hotel bar and
made a dive TO enter, but a man on
guard closed the door in ner face and thus
a scene was ended. She signed her name
on the hotel register as Carrie Nation,
Your Loving Defender" This morning she
again saw the night man and yelled out
There is that cigarette iendi' but after

by Mayor Gilmore, and she arose with a
smile upon her face and made one of her
usual speeches on the temperance question:.
She wanted a Bible, and said that the Elks
had promised TO have one for her, but she
supposed that they were mot used to
handling a Bible so early in the morning"
She declared that the saloons are the gate
ways to hell and in league with the devil,
and that there were church members with
in hearing who were aiding the devil in his
work. Her speech was a rambling denun-
citation of liquor, saloons, drinkers and
smokers. mingled with quotations from the
Bible and appeals to subscribe to her paper,
the 'Smashers' Mail" No subscriptions
were forthcoming, and she had some diff
ficulty in disposing of a few small nickel
plated hatchets and some photographs or
herself. After her speech several persons
went on the platform 10 talk with her and
the structure broke down, letting Mrs. Ma
