WOMEN WRECK SALOONS.
Airs. Carrie Nation Enters Upon Another
Violent Crusade.

Wichita, Kan. Jan. 2a.-Mrs. Car
RE. Nation came back to Wichita yes
terday after her recent incarceration
under small poX quarantine, and
the net result of ten minutes of her
work is two wrecked saloons.
Mrs. Nation was assisted by Mrs.
Julia Evans, Mrs. Lucy Wilholt and
Mrs. Lila Muntz, all Of the local w.
g. L. U. organization. With hatchets
concealed under their cloaks they
entered the saloon of James Burns,
on Douglas avenue, and did not leave
complete piece of glass or a work
ing slot machine in the place. All
show cases, both for liquor and CT
gars, as well as the plate glass win
dows and doors were broken into
smithereens. With lightning speed
they ran to John Herrig's saloon
and had everything in front of the
room, including the plate glass win
dows, broken when he appeared with
q revolver, placed it at Mrs. Nations
head, and said he would blow out her
brains if she did not desist.
She yielded before the pointed re-

made her first attack on the saloons
of Wichita three weeks ago. There
three policemen met her and she
struck at Detective Sutton with a
poker. He showed her aside and a
youth struck him in the face. A po-
iceman struck the youth and knock
ed him down. The police then over
powered Mrs. Nation and her friends
and took them to the city prison,
followed by 1000 people.

the prisoners after they reached the

Saturday night when the congress
men were hurrying their inquiries to
termination, the cadets of all four
classes held meeting in Grant hall
and unanimously decided to abolish
hazing of every form, as well as the
practice of calling OUT fourth class
men. This is exactly what General
Dick and the other members of the

trying to impress upon the cadets
who have testified before them as
the only course open to them if they
desired to see the fair names of the

sullied and above reproach. The. COM

the action of the cadets, and General

that in spirit and letter the agree
ment would be steadfastly adhered

AccoUNr OF QUEENS ILLNESS.
Deaths of Relatives and South Africs

Deaths Of Relatives and South African
Reverses Caused Nervous Collapse.
i New York, Jan. pa dispatch to
the World from London says: Your.
correspondent has obtained from ~
source within court circles the first
| comprehensive and actual account
of the queens illness that has been
given out. The facts given place the
illness of the queen in a startling
and pathetic light. They show that
| her mind has been failing for many
1uonths, even before her visit to Ire-
land. She had been a mental wreck
Tor months. Whenever it was official
| ly announced that she made felici-
tous responses to speeches at public
functions it is a matter of cold fact
that the poor old queen was in such
Il daze that all she could say to her
companions was:, where am I?'
| Several times when she has appear
CT: in public during the past six OF
eight months she has fallen asleep.
Had it been anyone else but the
queen of England it would have been
plain long ago that the malady was
senile decay. And that truthfully is
what affects Victoria.
But for her physical breaking up
of the past week, due 10 an attack
of paralysis in the left side, it would
have been possible for the court and
the royal household to have kept
from the British people knowledge
of her mental decay for an indefinite
period. For the queen had lapses
of intellectual vigor, but these were
more distressing to her than her per-
iods of mental density.
| The assassination of the king of
Italy. the illness of her eldest child,
Emperor Frederick, the death Of
| her second son, the duke of SAKE
Coburg and Gotha, the death OF
Prince Christian, son of her daugh-
ter Helena, and the death of her
oldest and dearest friend, the Dow
ager Lady Churchill, senior lady OF
the bedchamber and member of the
royal household for forty years, have
all contributed to the undermining Of
the queens health. The war in South
Africa has caused her untold mental
agony and with the disclosures
made by Lord Roberts came the be-
| ginning of the end.

ROBERTS Exo1rED THE QUEEN.


Blunt Recital of Boer Wars Horrors Wa.
Sad Blow--Ordered War Stopped.
London, Jan. 21.-The queen really
broke down on January 2, the day
Lord Roberts returned from South
Africa. The steamship bringing him
to Southampton, which is just, across
the Solent from Osborne, was stopped
before docking and Roberts was com
manded to report Immediately to her.
Fhe gallant old soldier bowed the
knee to his sovereign, was loaded
with honors and then placed on the
witness stand.
1t is no secret in court circles that
much bad. news of the war was kept
from the queen during the past few
months. She commanded Roberts to
speak out plainly and asked him doz-
ems of questions. Then the aged
monarch learned for the first time
all the horrors of the Boer war and
of the enormous British losses from
bullets and disease. AS Roberts an
s&ered her questions with sorry
bluntness and frankness, the queen
grew almost hysterical and wept over
the suffering of her soldiers when she
learned that the campaign must last
some time longer, with further losses.
After Roberts left the queen grew
hysterical and called up Salisbury
over his telephone. The premier was
not in his Office at the time, and the
queen got Secretary of War Brod-
rick on the telephone and, in excited
tones, asked him to stop the war inn
mediately.
The royal encourage could not stop
her. The queen declared that she
could not permit the awful war to
continue another day.
Brodricl made diplomatic answers
and said he would see Salisbury Then
the queen sent a number of tele-
grams in her own name to various
persons high in authority of the same
tenor.
There was much excitement in gov
eminent circles, and Salisbury was
quickly informed by the queens at
tendants of her condition, and he sue
ceeded in counteracting the effect Of
the queens kilograms by diplomatic
messages explaining her majesty'a
sad state.
There are reports that the queen
had teleg raphed to persons outside Of
England endeavoring to stop the war
Immediately. That day marked tho
beginning of her mental collapse.
The physical collapse was delayed
| two weeks.
