MRS. NATIONS FIRST DEFEAT
Attempt to Wreck a Saloon-A Free
FIght-Mrs. Nation Arrested.

Topeka, kas., February AIRS. Ma
ton this afternoon met the first defeat
in her saloon smashing career. Later,
at the police station she laughingly
declared that it was by no means her
Waterloo, and she would soon again be
at her chosen work.
With six women, each armed with a
new Ratchet, she had started out at 3
O'Clock to wreck a restaurant in east
Sixth street that also dispensed liquors.
Before she could WELD her hatchet she
was disarmed and a free for all strug-
gle between restaurant people and the
wreckers was begun. Numerous yes
were blackened.
Mrs. Nation had warned the proprie-
tors she would raid the place if they
did not stop selling liquors, and they
were prepared for the attack.
The Ratchet was jerked from her hand
by a stout man and the women were
forced back. A fierce fight followed
between the restaurant men and Mrs.
Nations defenders. For a quarter Of
an hour they struggled in the street
While the mob yelled encouragingly to
Mrs. Nation.
Many personal encounters took place,
but the police seemed without power
to stop it. Finally. in despair, they ar
rested Mrs. Nation on a charge of dis
turbing the peace and took her to jail.
The crowd followed her and the res
taurant was left unframed. Mrs. Ma
ton was not injured.
During all the fierce struggle that
went on in the street, while women and
boys were knocked down and tram
pied on and the crowd was shouting
and Yelling. Mrs. Nation never lost her
presence of mind.
Ladies' she cried, you are armed.
If you can't get to the place throw your
hatchets through the windows" but
! the women were too. demoraliZed
to obey her, and stampeded.
Mrs. Nation was led away between
two big police officers.

HOH IS TORTURE.

Eczema Is caused BY an acid humor In

skin and producing great redness and in
Aammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin Il
hard, dry and assured. Eczema In any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,

almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems &c ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the prison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.
