MRS. NATION WRITES.
Smasher Issues a Proclamation and
Hints at Trouble to Come.

Mrs. Nation has written another let
ter, in which she makes dire threats.
She is going to smash something, but
whether she means that she will smash
joints, Judge Hazen, or the supreme
court is not quite evident from her
communication. which is as follows:
Il have perhaps been too slow to ex-
press my thanks to you since my re-
turn to Kansas for not recording the
lies reputed of me through the east in
regard to many things, especially the
lie which stated me as saying I wish
Mckinley would die or that he ought
to die. / am back in Topeka, expect
to make this my home if a pilgrim and
stranger can have a home IN this place
of change and death. 1 am in this city
that 1 love to do the work of him whom
l serve as a loving slave would serve
as master whom he loved better than
any earthly joy or attainment Yes,
am jealous for the good of Topeka. The
devil is laying snares and anarchists
are in authority who are enemies of all
law The late decisions of the judges
of this state prove that. 1 am not -e-
Sponsible for their conspiracy, but am
responsible for what Carrie A Nation
does, and l now say that if there are
not Christians enough in this city to up
hold Chief Stahl in keeping down crimi-
nal factories, he has only to let me
know where they are, and 1 have not
buried my Ratchet and if possible it
will be more effective than ever. am
not at all confused about what GOD
said about spewing some parties out of
his mouth, for it nauSeateS me to see
the loungers in pulpit and pew. These
ministers are told to go out into the
highways and hedges but they stay in
and pound their Bibles and kick their
pulpit. If / had the power I would
lock their church doors and compel
them to go out. I go to Columbia, Mo-,
to speak to the students, and will re-
turn the 9Th or 10th. I will ask the
W. C. T. U. and the Home Defenders
to call a mass meeting in some hall or
church and we will then see if we can
not get up a movement to resist some
of the spiritual wickednesS in high
places. 1 am in this town to exhort,
rebuke and reprove and to smash, if
necessary, perfectly regardless of the
consequences that shall come to my
self CARRIE A. NATION,

The Fifth district has three avowed

more than two places when the ticket

DECLARED 1T A COYOTE.
So Mr.. Washington Will Receive 81
Instead of So.

The county commissioners have Off
cially decided that the animal killed by
Vic Washington was a coyote.
The reason of the discussion whether
the beast was a coyote or a wolf was
the difference of 81 in the bounty to be
paid. Washington claimed it was a
wolf and wanted the IS bounty. The
commissioners thought it was a coyote
and the bounty would be 81. All the ex-
perts in the county were called in con-
sultation, except Buffalo Jones, who
really knows wolf from a coyote, and
the experts thought that perhaps it
was coyote but they We're not certain.
The commissioners thought the safest
plan was to save 81 and called it a coy
ote. Washington objected but he was
not considered authority as he might
be biased in his opinion.
