A TOPEKA Mob.
Santa Fe Shopmsn Attempt to Lynch

Topeka, Feb. 20-The vigilance of
The officers was all that saved "SlicllT
Slater from lyn2aing by an infnriated
mob tonight.
Slater is accused OF asssaulting sew
en- teen-year-old I4ettie Cerberick
Monday evering, ana was captured
and placed in the couaty Jail here.
This afternoon it became known that
he was here, and imraediatly the San
Ia Fe shopmsn, of whom this assaulted
girls fathsr, George Gerbelick, is
one, decided that he, should be
lynched.
by q O'Clock there was an angry
mob of 1000 men around the county
Jail demanding that the prisoner be
delivered to them. A brigade of
sturdy Santa Pe boilermakers, armed
with heavy sledge hammers. stood
ready to make short work of the Jail
in case the demands were not granted.
Sheriff Cook told the crowd that the
prisoner had been removed, and
offered to let committee search the
Jail. Ten men, headed by George
Gerberick, made thorough search,
but Slater could not be found, They
returned and told the mob, but that
failed to satisfy them, and twice they
started to break in the Jail doors.
The Santa Fe shopmen have some
thing of lynching record. Twelve
years ago they stoned the same jail
that they surrounded today, seized
John Oliphant. who killed man
whose house ho was robbing, and

That Elm Creek Bridge.

lOld, hduHdS,
EDITOR REGISTER:
In a recent issue Of your paper you
opened your columns tothe discussion
of the court house question, so | take
the liberty to bring again to public
notice that there is Il necessity other
than the court house which the people
who live southeast of lola have been
waiting for nearly three years.
During the summer of '98 petition
was presented to our Honorable Board
of County Commissioners for bridge
at the crossing of Elm creek known as
the Miner ford. They said it was
needed, but laid the petition aside
and no bridge resulted.
Last year when the cement company
desired the vacation Of the Northrup
ford road we again petitioned for II
bridge. The cement company had
done some blasting on the bluff at the
Minor ford, claiming thereby to have
made the ford more easy of access,
also claiming that they would soon
finish a fine macadamized road on the
section line just south of the creek 50
that all parties living southeast OF
lola could use that road and enter lola
over the bridge located on Washing
ton avenue, but they have not done
so.
Their macadamized road is horrible
and there is no indication of any
completion of any part of the macad'
animation, and no one seems to care
how the people southeast of lola gel
into town with their produce.
Now in all fairness are not we en-
titled to a bridge before any other one
is granted, by reason of the priority o
our petition and because of the neeC
of safe and convenient crossing tC
accommodate the increased traffic from
this direction?
BY all means give us a new anC
coinmodious court house, but alsC
grant us a convenient way 70 get to i
when necessary. Respectfully,
GEO, II, BARTH,

Cour. House Blll in Apl.ll.

The Allen county court house bill
has passed the Legislature, as has been
noted, and been signed by the COVER
nor. The bill provides thatthecOunty
commissioners shall act according to
its provisions and call an election to
submit the proposition within given
time. The bill becomes a law upon
its publication in the official State
papers but it will probably not get in
to print until next week. This is all
right, for that will throw the matter
along until the regular meeting of the
board on the first Monday in April
Had the bill appeared this week, a
special meeting of the commissioners
would have had to be called.

Topeka, Fe|. 2l.-Judge McCabe in
the city court this morning acquitted
Mrs. Carrie Nation OF the charge of

The attorneys had ag-eed upon a
statement of the 1acts wbich was that

NO RESPECT FOR THE JUICE
Topo'Sa, Feb. 20.-,Jhdge Hazen, Of

the April term of court. The eases
against Dq'. Eva Harding, Mrs. Rosa
Crist, Miss Madaline Sputhara,. Mrs
.C. Chadwick and c. r.. Mcdowell were.
also continued.
The features of the hearing this
afternoon vas the way in which Mrs.
Nation erlivened the proceedings.
The dignity hedging around the Judi
cial bench has no more terrors for her
than the coynlnOnest joint. She seems
to treat both Joints and courts with
uttercontempt.
Mrs. Na0ioN arose several time to
address the GoUrt, and eachtimecalled
him "Yourdishonor."
When asked if she were peady for
trial, Mrs. Nation, who aots as her
own attorney, said:
"Your dishonor, am incapable of
trying my case this afternoon, as
have been poisoned by ycigare5te smoke
in the couR6y Jail. | want to see how
the other Gases are tried, any way"
Miss MRCaehne Sc Cuthard and Mrs.
Crist who have been with Mrs Nation
in the counhy jail, gave bond for $500
each today and were released One of
the signeps of the bonds was Edward

WEDDING REIIs

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles

10Th inst, their eldest daughter, Miss
Carrie, will be united in marriage to
Mr.. Dan T. Bryant. The event awakens
a deep interest in the hearts of many

bride-to-be and her parents are native
and "to the manner born" of this city
having resided all their lives within her
precincts, with the possible exception
OF few years of Mr.. Chrisman's early
life. The bridegroom, too, we claim;
he is worthy son Of MIR. J. G. Bryant,
prominent member of our Board of
Supervisors, and is one of our leading
hardware merchants. The marriage of
these two, whose names and lives will
become indissolubly united on the date
mentioned, will be an suspicious event,
and many are the congratulations and
good wishes trembling upon the lips
and yelling up in the hearts of devoted
friends and relatives for the expression

so devoutly to be wished, has been
