The treaty cedlng Louisiana and tina,

Such common status would certainly
avoid some ycxod questions.

Somehow these elaborate arguments

Topeka. kans., oct. G.-The Kansas
Supreme Court affirmed yesterday the
Judgment of the District Court of
Shawnee county in the case of the
state against Balfe Stark. Stark WAS
II of Carrie Nations assistants in
joint smashing. In one of their raids
they destroyed property which led to
arrests. Stark was fined SO and costs.
The whole amounted to about 500. He
appealed to the Supreme Court, claim
ing among other things that II saloon,
being under the ban OF the law. might
be destroyed by any citizen without
violation of law. In the syllabus the
court says:
All places where Intoxicating lia-
o are sold or kept for sale. or
places where people are permitted TO
resort for the purpose of drinking the
same. are declared by statute TO be
common n%uisances. This fact, how
ever. does not Justify their abatement
ny any person or persons without pro.
cess of law. They can be abated only
by n prosecution Instituted in behalf
OF the public by the proper officers.
II destruction or injury to ope
used in aid of the maintenance Of
such puisances. except in the manner
provided by the statute, is a tres
pass"

Wisdom is not the same as under
standing; nor is 1t talent, or capacity.
ability. sagacity. sense. or prudence;
neither will all these together max it
up. 1t is that exercise of the reason
into which the heart enters-a struc-
ture OF the understanding rising out OF
the moral and spiritual nsture. 1t is for
this cause that a high order of wisdom
that is. a highly intellectual wisdom
is still more rare than a high order
of genius. When they reach the very
highest order they are one; for each

salute Of twenty-one guns.
After the Columbia had hauled down
her sails and set her victory flag, the
excursion boats crowded alongside to
cheer the Yankee sailors and the win

either Upton or his gallant craft. In
turn the crowded steamers ran along
