the street. 1t then broke up all the
fixtures IL true Mrs. Nation style, not
leaving 4 whole thing that could be
used in the joint business. The pro
prietress Of the joint tried to leave. but
the crowd refused to let her. When
the demolition of the Hicks joint was
completed the crowd started to do the
same with the other joints. nine in
number. The projectors of these
joints. by working very hard, managed
to turn out III their liquor by the time
the crowd reached4their places of bust
ness and nearly had the fixtures moved
out. They pleaded earnestly to be al
lowed to keep the fixtures ana prom
ised on their oayhs never again to sell
a drop of liquor in Holton.
The citizens decided to give the re-
naming iOintistS a few hours in which
TO leave the town. Lawyers, newspa-
permeu. and business men helped to
swell the mob, which was composed Of
some Of the very best people of Holton.

Methodist church and had n thanks

suit OF their work. Saturday night a
meetingwas held in Ilolton and a vigil

Pneumonia Can be Cured

This disease always results from a
cold or the grip and may be prevented
by the timely Use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. That remedy was
extensively used during the epidemics
of La Grippe of the past few years, and
not single case has ever been reported
that did not recover or that resulted in
pneumonia, which shows it to be a
certain preventive of that dangerous
disease. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy has gained world wide reputa-
ton for its cures of cold and grip. For

action is the result of the crusade
started in Topeka less than ten days
ago by Mrs. Carrie Nation. The meet
ing yesterday was a remarkable one
in every respect. 1t was called by a
committee of the Law Enforcement
League, and was attended by nearly
all the prominent business men of the
city. There was feeling of intense
earnestness pervading the meeting.
Conservative men, who have hitherto
advocated moderation in the dealings
with the lawless element, insisted in
unmistakable terms that the time had
come when patience had ceased to be
a virtue, and that the people of To-
peka should take the law in their own
hands.
Worked Up High Enthusiasm.
Rev. +. W. Emerson, pastor of the
First Christian church of Topeka, who
aided Mrs. Nation in her saloon-smash-
ing here last week, opened the meet
ing with prayer. After few short,
snappy addresses. which worked up
the audience to high degree of en-
thusiasm, an ultimatum was proposed
and passed amid the loudest cheering.
The ultimatum commanded the ofti-
GERS of the city and county to perform
their duty regarding the closing Of the
joints. The officers were warned that
they had waited long enough. The
property owners in whose premises the
Joints are kept were also warned in
unmistakable terms that they had bet
ter abate the nuisance at once, or the
people of Topeka would not be re-
sponsible for the damage that might
ensue to the buildings.
Scene of the widest Excitement.
When the reader of the ultimatum
reached the part pertaining to the
'jointists," there was hush OF eX-
pectation, as there had for several days
been rumors that some important dec
larations were to be made. The words
of condemnation and warning brought
forth murmurs of approval that gained
strength with each minute, finally
sweeping over the entire audience and
eliminating in the widest ENTHUSIASM.
As the reader finished and submitted
the ultimatum to the approval Of the
audience old men and conservative
ministers of the gospel leaped to their
seats in their enthusiasm and waved
handkerchiefs, gesticulated and
cheered to the echo. The cheering
lasted for several minutes. There seems
to be no question that the next few
days in Topeka will see interesting de-
yelOpments, possibly bloodshed.
Creator Does Things Unlawfully.
During the speaking DR.. j. 7. Mac
Farland said that Providence had a
faculty of doing things in an uncon-
stitutional way. Some of His great
est surprises came at times when they
Were least looked for. Chief of Po
lice Stahl made an address. He said
the law could he enforced if the entire
police machinery of the city would
work in unison with him. The audi
ence, amid many cheers, adopted a
resolution demanding that the city
council ut its next meeting confirm the
denomination of Stahl for chief of pO
lice

THE NATION IN HAWKEyE STATE.
Her ProGr ess Attended by Regular Politi-
cal spell Bindec scenes.

Des M0ineS, Ia, Feb. ll.--Mrs. Ma
tons tour through the western part
of the state Saturday forenoon took
on new feature and was in a sense
a triumphal one to the Kansas saloon
smasher. She made q dozen addresses
from the platform of Rock Island
passenger train to as many crowds in
the towns she passed through to come
to Des MOines to deliver lecture. In
the afternoon she visited four saloons
doing no damage. but drawing such =
big crowd on the street that the police
were compelled to stop the crusade. In
the evening she addressed 1000 people
in the Y. NJ. G. A. auditorium.
Atlantic was the first town where
people swarmed to the train. aud as
Mrs. Nation saw them coming down the
aisle she cried out, jubilantly: Hello.
boys; glad to see YOU; shake hands;
God bless the boys and the young men.
l tell you | just love you all" The
first large crowd of the day was en-
countered at Anita, where Mrs. Nation
was reused, window opened, and
hands clutched through the aperture.
At Acton the same sort of scenes
were enacted, and at the latter place
there being Il number of children she
advised them to ill their pockets with
crooks" and smash saloons.
At Valley Junction fully 200 laboring
men were present, many of them rail
road hands employed in the Rock ISL
and shops. There Mrs. Nation shook
hands with everybody within reach,
especially the small boys, and then
singled out a red-nosed countenanced
man as her victim. There's a man
that needs salOon-smasher, all right;
/ can tell him by his looks. Come up
here, my friend, and shake hands with
Carrie Nation; don't be afraid
The crowd roared, but the man sim
ply REDEEMED in the face and refused
to bulge. you are one of the smashed"
cried Mrs. Nation. Il guess I'll have
to go out there after you" But she

'em, smash EN-" cried Mrs. Nation
Turning to those nearest her she called:
Fill your pockets with rocks and
smash the hell-joints. Don't be afraid
God will take care of you"
At Des Moines there were fully s.
600 people cheering and yelling at the
station when the train pulled In. AS
Mrs. Nation walked out Of the car and
got a glimpse of the vast thrOng she
broke loose in childish glee, saying:
"Just look at it: just look at the dears;
