THE CASE OF MRS. NATION.

4 RS. CARRIE NATION, Of Kansas,
M has given the courts of that state
d problem of unusual difficulty
She is an ardent temperance advocate
of the militant pattern. Back of her
convictions is a cruel personal expert
ence with saloons through a hayward
husband Finding that the liquor deal
ers of her state violated the law de-
family and openly, she appealed to the
authorities, from the governor down,
for the enforcement Of the law Her
appeal was disregarded. almost con-
temptuously. and she determined to
force the issue.
To this end she armed herself with
an armful of stones invaded the larg-
est saloon in the neighbOrhood and
wrecked the establishment. When she
got through. the bar mirror was in
fragments, the furniture beyond re-
pair and most of the drinkables on
the floor. Although the saloon man
could break the law without Interior
ence, Mrs. Nations infractiOn of the
peace found prompt retaliation in ar
rest and confinement.
So far the saloon men were ahead,
but they had captured an exceedingly
awkward eleDhant. Public sentiment
was with Mrs. Nation. The friends of
temperance came to the rescue and
stirred up such a storm that it's echoes
are reverberating all over the country
Public subscriptions have been raised
for Mrs Nations defense and the
prosecution of the saloons. Although
Mrs. Nation was sentenced to prison
for breaking the peace, bonds were Of
fered on appeal. Then the prosecutor
found a new way of Furnishing the Of
fender. He secured a quarantine of
the prison wherein Mrs. Nation was
confined and the prison authorities re-
fuse to allow the service of a writ IN
til after expiration Of the quarantine,
which is longer than the prisoners
sentence.
Naturally enough, Mrs Nation and
her friends are asking these diligent
public officials why it is that one class
Of offenders is prosecuted with such
scrupulous energy, while another and
less harmful citizen is punished rigor-
ousIy and to the point of persecution.
They have gained one point-the chief
one-in calling attention to the con-
dition of affairs Although a due re-
gard for the dignity of the law does
not excuse Mrs Nation, she certainly
has put her enemies in an uncOmfOrt-
able position The chances are good
that both the saloon men and the city
officials of Wichita wish now they had
been a little less precipitate in their
hurry to help the saloon men, Mrs.
Nation viii win, and she ought to-

tive and Firm.
New York. Aug. 30.--The stock mar
ket made rather a striking demonstra-
ton of strength to-day. The increasing
disposition to buy stocks as the day
progressed indicated that the demand
to cover outstanding contracts came
largely from the bear party.
There was, however, a steady alb
sorption of number of prominent
stocks which was difficult to explain on
any other basis than as an accunnula-
ton, for what purpose not disclosed.
The buying of this character was par
ticularly obvious in the Fries. The
buying here was very concentrated
and was by brokers usually employed
by the inside interests OF the property.
A single commission house took be-
tween 10000 and 5000 shares of the
common and considerable speculative
following was attracted some large
buying OF this stock coming from West
ern sources. Union Pacific, st. Paul
and Atchison showed the belated effect
of the very large net earnings for
July reported earlier in the week, and
Canadian Pacific and St. Louis and
San Francisco continued to move up
ward from the same cause. This was
a general influence in holding the whole
railroad llSt HrTn. Inc transactions
and the movements in general We're
not conspicuous The increase in the
volume of business over yesterday was
mostly confined to the stocks named.
There was considerable demand also
for Amalgamated Copper. The Gould
Southwesterns were well held to the
accompaniment of vaguely defined ru-
mors of coming developments. The
Wabash stocks rose about point each
and Denver and Rio Grande preferred
gained 29s upon limitations OF a COM
ing favorable annual report. The
strength of the Chicago Terminal
transfer stocks was due to talk OF alb
sorption by the Chicago and Alton.
American Tobacco advanced az with

The New York. Chicago and St. Louis
stocks rose to 2ss.
The bears were seemingly discomit-
ed by the absence Of a furry in the
call loan market. They had counted
upon the demand for loans to carry
over until Tuesday to stiffen rates and
bring stocks upon the market. This
failed to occur in spite of a very I'M
promising forecast of the weeks cash
changes. From statements furnished
by the banks IL appears that they have
sustained loss in cash OF upward Of
100000 for the week. OF this the

a level as to force them to resort to
such an expedient. The visible supply

of 81, 900. Port receipts for the week

European spinners on the other hand
stubbornly refuse to buy spots on the

very poor, consequently recent sharp
advance has been due principally to
speculation, predicated on the unfav-

outlook in Texas and other states.
