this case is the justly celebrated Mrs.
Carrie Nation.
A little more than two weeks ago
Mrs. Nation encountered a policeman
in front of a place where liquor is sold
in open and notorious violation of the
law. The chance was too good for
Carrie 10 lose. She promptly reviled
the officer for permitting the resort to
continue in operation. Mrs. Nation
wasn't quiet about her reviling, either.
She finally became so noisy that she
was taken to the police station, and it
is at this point that the Rev. Mr.. Nc
Farland enters the case.
Mr.. Mcfarland appeared in police
court to defend Mrs. Nation She was
fined S25, a proceeding to which the
pastor objected in strenuous language.
He was fined S25 for contempt of court.
Then. to show that he hadn't yet fully
expressed his real opinion about the
Justice, Mr. Mcfarland denounced the
court at some length. His fine was in
creased to 500 and the money was paid
over by some friends who were present.

Mr.. Mcfarland preached strenuously
on the subject of the immoral condi-
tions existing in Topeka. Incidentally
he charged the police force with gam
bling, drinking and being in league
with the criminal element to wrong
and defraud the taxpayers. The next
day the mayor and the chief of police
of Topeka called an attorney into a con-
sultation with them. The result was a
little batch of suits against Mr.. Nc
Farland for Islander.
The Herald has no knowledge of To-
peka conditions, aside from the dis
patches, but if half the news reports
are true, Mr.. Mcfarland will be tri-
umphantly acquitted. It Is difficult,
indeed, to believe he could Islander the
peace officers of a city where whisky
selling and other evils are carried on
so openly and so VIGOROUSLY as the
kilograms say is the case in Topeka.

was being drawn into the teeth of a
swiftly revolving buzz saw today.
Lees private sawrnill is operated by
a tall windmill. and during an idle

of wind sprang up and set the mill in
motion so unexpectedly that the farm

few inches in front of the teeth of the
saw. He was being carried against
the blade just as a log would be and
the saw had cut through his clothing
when the wind changed as suddenly as
it had sprung up, and the arms of the
windmill ceased to revolve and the
machinery stopped.
