About 300 wagons with families passed
through Ermelo on the way to Amster-

Des MOines, Ia, Feb. 11.-MrS. Ma
TONS tour through the western part
Of the state Saturday forenoon took
on new feature and was in a sense
a triumphal one to the Kansas saloon
smaSher. She made a dozen addresses
from the platform Of Rock Island
passenger train to as many crowds in
the towns she passed through to come
to Des Moines to deliver lecture. In
the afternoon she visited four Saloons
doing no damage, but drawing such q
big crowd on the street that the police
We're compelled to stop the crusade. In
the evening she addressed 1000 people
in the Y. NJ. G. A. auditorium.
Atlantic was the first town where
people swarmed to the train, and as
Mrs. Nation saw them coming down the
aisle she cried out, jubilantly: Hello,
boys; glad to see you; shake hands;
God bless the boys and the young men.
l tell you l just love you ALL" The
first large crowd of the day was en-
countered at Anita, where Mrs. Nation
was reused, window opened, and
hands clutched through the aperture.
At Acton the same sort of scenes
were enacted, and at the latter place
there being number Of children she
advised them to fill their pockets with
''rocks" and smash saloons.
AT Valley junction fully 200 laboring
men were present, many of them rail
road hands employed in the Rock Isl
and shops. There Mrs. Nation shook
hands with everybody within reach,
especially the small boys, and then
singled out a red-nosed countenanced
man as her victim. There's a man
that needs salo0n-smasher, all right;
[ can tell him by his looks. Come up
here, my friend, and shake hands with
Carrie Nation; don't be afraid
The crowd reared but the man sim
ply REDEEMED in the face and refused
to bulge. "You are one of the smashed,
cried Mrs. Nation. II guess I'll have
to go out there after you" But she
did not.
We've got couple of joints here in
town." cried another man. Smash
'em, smash 'em," cried Mrs. Nation.
Turning to those nearest her she called:
'Fill your pockets with rocks and
smash the hell joints. Don't be afraid;
God will take care Of YOU
At Des Moines there were fully s.
600 people cheering and yelling at the
station when the train pulled in. AS
Mrs. Nation walked out Of the car and
got glimpse of the vast throng she
broke loose in childish giee, saying:
"Just look at it; just look at the dears;
may God bless every One''

st. Louis, Feb. 12.-In a fight in
front of the polling place at 1910 Lin
den street three negroes and Police
Sergeant Quinlaven were wounded.
More than 100 shots were fired, in
Guiding two from a riot gun in the
hands of John j. Ryan, an Olive street
saloon keeper. When the row was over
Frank Jones, cOlOred, was found in
a doorway, with a bullet in his knee,
and an artery was cut in the leg of
Sergeant Quinlaven. The two other
men who were shot succeeded in max
ing their way to their homes, and had
not been arrested up to midnight.
Not a vote had been cast up to 5
o'clock p. m. when the rioting began.
The judges and clerks rushed out to
see the row. and several men forced
themselves into the rear of the poll
ing place and stole the ballotIboXes
1t was GAO o'clock before other boxes
were secured and the polls again
opened. From then up to o'clock,
when the polls closed, number of
ballots were cast, but the election

action is the result of the crusade
started in Topeka less than ten days
ago by Mrs. Carrie Nation. The meet
ing yesterday was aslemaGkable one
in every respect. 1t was called by a
committee Of the Law Enforcement
League, and was attended by nearly
all the prominent business men Of the
city. There was a feeling of intense
<earnestness pervading the meeting.
Conservative mem, who have hitherto
advocated moderation in the dealings
with the lawless element, insisted in
unmiStakable terms that the time had
come when patience lad ceased to be
a virtue, and that the people Of To-
peka should take the law in their own
hands.
Worked Up High Enthusiasm.
Rev. f. w. Emerson, pastor Of the
First Christian church of Topeka, who
aided Mrs. Nation i'm her on-Smash-
ing here last week, opened the meet
ing with prayer. After ia few short,
snappy addresses which worked up
the audience to a high degree of en-
thusiasm, an ultim1atum was proposed
and passed mid the l0udest cheering.
The ultimatum commanded the Off
GERS Of the ty and county to perform
their duty regarding the closing of the
joints. The officers were warned that
they had waited long enough. The
property owners ian whose premises the
Joints" are kept were also warned in
unmistakable terms that they had bet
ter abate the nuisance ;at once, or the
people of Topeka would not be re-
SpOnsible for the damage that might
ensue to the buildings.
Scene of the Widest Excitement.
When the reader of the ultimatum
reached the part pertaining to the
''jointists," there was "a hush of ex-
pectation as there had for several days
been rumOrS that some important dec
larations were to be made. The words
OF condemnation and warning brought
forth murmurs of approval that gained
strength with each minute, finally
sweeping over the entire audience and
eliminating in the widest ENTHUSIASM.
AS the reader finished and submitted
the ultimatum to the approval of the
audience Id men and conservative
ministers of the gospel leaped to their
seats in their enthusiasm and waved
handkerchiefs, gesticulated and
cheered to the echo. The cheering
lasted for several minutes. There seems
to be no question that the next few
days in Topeka will see interesting de-
welopments, possibly b1oodshed.
Creator Does Things UalawfulIy.
During the speaking Dr.. J. T. Mac
Farland said that Providence had d
faculty of doing things in an uncon-
Stitutional way. Some of His great
esd surprises came at times when they
were least looked for Chief of Po-
lice Stahl made an address He said
the law could be enforced il the entire
police machinery Of the city would
work in unison with him. The audi
ence, amid many cheers, adopted
resolution demanding that the city
council atits next meeting confirm the
denomination of Stahl for chief of DO
lice.

met at the NJ. E. church. and after
some evangelistic exercises they start
ed out to do their work There were
a number of officers in the crowd, and
they LED the way to the first joint,
which has been kept for years by a
woman named Hicks, on tile south
side OF the public square
The mob broke down the doors and
took out all the liquor, emptying it into
the street 1t then broke up all the
fixtures in true Mrs. Nation style. not
leaving whole thing that could be
used III th6joint business. The pro-
prletress of the joint tried to leave, but
the crowd refused to let her. When
the demolition of the Hicks joint was
completed the crowd started to do the
same with the other joints, nine in
number. The proprietors of these
joints. by working very hard, managed
to turn out all their liquor by the time
the crowd reached their places of bust
ness and nearly had the fixtures moved
out. They pleaded earnestly to be al
lowed to keep the fixtures and prom
ised on their oaths never again to sell
a drop of liquor in Holton.
The citizens decided to give the re-
naming jointists a few hours in which
to leave the town. Lawyers, newspa-
permen, and business men helped to
swell the mob, which was composed Of
some of the very best people of Holton.
After the smashing had been completed
the guardians of the law went to the
Methodist church and had thanks
giving service over the successful re-
suit Of their work. Saturday night a
meeting waS held in HoltOn and vigil
ance committee was organized to see
that a joint never again would have a
chance to do business there.
