Sunday in Topeka was the most e1-
citing ever known here. Ms. Carrie
Nation smashed joints right and left
and was four times arrested during
The day. She began al $50 O'clock a. n.
Followed By an immense crowd o.
men and women armed With hatchetS
axes picks and crOwbars and one
battering ram, she began on Murphyis 5
fashionable joint. -Four policemen
stood al the door 70 guard the en-
trance. They commanded the peo-
pie % stand back in digni6ed tones
Smash, smash, smash. " called out
Ms Nation Don't pay and atten-
tion 70 them"
The boys with the battering ram
came forward and the big plate glass
windows were shattered into thous-
ands Of fragments. Dozens Of men
then rushed on the building, armed
with their axes, and soon had the
doors and window frames cut entirely
away. Then, with an eKultant cheer.
the crowd burst into the building.
Praise God women. Smash bot
ties and windows, called out Mrs. Ma
ti0n again, and, raising her famous
Ratchet she sent it through a window
glass.
The policemen managed to recover
sufficiently from their scare by this
time 70 grab Mrs. Nation. They
started Of with her to the police sta
tion as rapidly as possible.
While this was going on another
scene was being enacted in another
part Of the city. MB. Nation had
been released from the city prison,
after being held few minutes. and
soon again she started out on her
work. She gathered about her sume
of those who had been at the State
house and commanded them to follow
her. She led the way % a livery sta
bic, where some bars were stored. She
met at the door the proprietor, who
assured her that there was nothing Of
the kind inthe building.
Mrs. Nation found In a little room
back Of the Office several fine bars
Picking upa leg Of a chair she smashed
the mirrors.
Ms Nation then led the way 70 the |
Moser cold storage plant, where the
jointests Of this city have been
In the habit Of storing their ex-
ira stock. Only few went out withi
her, but she determined that this
should be treated the same as the
joints.
By this time Sheriff Cook and Chief /
Of Police Stahl came upon the scene
and placed her under arrest This
time she made quite a scene and was
taken to the county jail In the patrol
wagon Her arrest this time was on a
county warrant, swOrn 70 b. the cold
storage people changing her withl
