HERE'S anew ONE
Liquor Trust Is Being Formed
in Topeka.
Plan to Abandon Joints and
Buy Drug Stores.
USED FOR A CLOAK.
Registered Pharmacists Are to
Be Employed.
Liquor Handling in Drug Stores
Becomes Lax.

A liquor trust is about to be formed
in Topeka for the purpose of controlling
the liquor trade of the city and defeat
ing the prohibitory law.
The leading liquor men of the city
are interested in the venture and a
large cold storage house viii be the
base of supplies. The plan is to aban-
don a large part of the joints, and in
stead to carry on a retail liquor busi-
ness on the drug store plan. The
liquor trust has a paid attorney, and
he has been consulted. He has given
his opinion just as the liquor men
wanted it, and operations may be com
menced at any time. The plan is to
buy in all the smaller drug stores that
can be secured. start new drug stores,
employ registered pharmacists to oper-
ate the drug stores. and have a bar in
the back room behind the prescription
case
BY employing registered druggists
and putting in a stock of drugs as is
required by law the trust win have lit
tie trouble in securing a druggists
permit for each store to sell liquor
To secure a permit from the probate
Judge the druggist has to have on his
petition the names of 25 property own
ers and IS women who live in the ward
where the store is located
The plan of the trust is to comply
with the law regulating drug stores
so far as the securing of a permit and
stock of drugs is concerned, and then
do a retail liquor business under the
guiSe of a drug store. The liquor men
claim that now they have to carry on
a continuous fight with the police when
they operate joints. and that the drug
stores that now sell liquor are immune
from arrest. BY starting the drug
store trust the liquor men mean to
either have the same immunity from
arrest or if the police departn ent
moves on them to force the police 10

attorney. J. NJ. Dumenil, have fought

undoubtedly be made to defeat tie
liquor trust application for permits.
The trust is now trying to secure
leases on store rooms to be used as
drug stores. and not until several
leases have been made will the active
opera tions begin.
The drug store situation in Topeka
is growing worse. There are al least
a half dozen drug stores in Topeka
that are little else than open saloons
from behind the prescription cases and

At one time Colonel Jones was a pos
sible candidate for the appointment,
and now rumors are flying that he has
come into the Hamilton camp with the
promise that he can have the support
for most anything from the Hamilton
fellows in the future. EX-Judge W. Fl.
Pratt, of Phillips county, has hosts OF
friends in every county in the district,
and they were in Norton in force.
1t has been said the governor has
given it out that he viii appoint an old
soldier which if true viii leave Scott

tween Pratt and Hamilton, who are old

troubles. She had few acquaintance.
Mrs. Mcclure was always very careful
not to talk much of her troubles, and
practically nothing is known of her
history
One of the letters was addressed to
q Bergie Wooden. a carpenter who
worked around town on odd pieces of
work. He occasionally visited Mrs.
Mcguire at the Steinberg home, and in
mentioning him in her letter to Miss
Steinberg she said he had always been
kind to her and had acted the part of
a brother. She said .'he had tried to
make me look on the bright side of
life She left directions that her few
trinkets and keepsakes should be
turned over to him.
Mrs. Mcclure was a member of the
Catholic church. Less than two months
ago she went TO her confessor, one of
the fathers in the church here, and
asked if she could reach heaven if she
formed it would not be possible for the
fulhllment of her desires for eternal
life IL she should kill herself. She said
nothing to anyone else on this subject,
and her act was a total surprise to the
family for whom she worked.
s.She was a noble woman" said Mrs.
Steinberg to a reporter for the State
Journal .She was one of the best wo-
painstalxing in rything she did. We
had no idea she ever contemplated such
an action"
She committed suicide with the re-
volver belonging to Harry Steinberg.
The members of the family were away
from home last evening and it is be-

room after the family had left in the
evening. She usually retired at about
9 O'Clock, but it was noticed that a tight

She wrote the letters and left them IN
a convenient place.
The room that was occupied by Mrs.
Mcclure is directly over the front door
and hallway of the house and adjoins
the room used as a sleeping room by
the two young ladies of the family. A
door communicates between the two
rooms.
This morning at Z o'clock. before the
members of the family had arisen, a
shot was heard. Miss Steinberg was
vakened and rose to go to the window
to look out 4 thought that perhaps
some one was shooting a dog, she said
I couldn't see anything and started to
go back and as I turned I saw the
smoke from the revolver through the
transom over the door between the two
rooms, and almost at the same instant
heard a groan. I rushed to the door

In her letter to Miss Steinberg the

When the explosion occurred a score or
more of persons were in the saloon but
as far as known none besides those men,

While mystery surrounds the affair the

He was jealous of AdcConnelTs attentions
to Ruby Fox.
