MRS. NATION ISSUES ADDRESS.
Asks the Men to Support Mothers by
Voting for Prohibition.

The State Journal today received an
other communication from Carrie Ma
ton who is in the Wichita Jail for at
tempted joint smashing.
The letter follows:
To the Mothers All Over.
Dear Ones:-This licensed curse is
helPs conspiracy against women and
her offspring. Her hands have been
tect our firesides by ballot, but they
are not tied when it comes to use a
Ratchet or a rock. 1 dislike to kill
snakes or mad dogs, but nothing but
from killing either. Women have the
ability to smash saloons and a feeling
of humanity would give them an inn
pulse. Oh. how much more is the heart
of motherhood reused even to frenzy
to see their sons mutilated body and
soul. If mothers are not frantic over
the conditions of their homes and sons,
it is because of their supposed bond
age not because the mother love is not
loyal enough. What / say now 1 say
by the inspiration of Almighty God.
l beg, 1 implore the mothers to take
their rocks, their hatchets and single
handed and alone, or in crowdsA smash
these places. You will be arrested by
the officers of this licensed murder, but
not a loyal man will arrest or con-
DENIM oh if Kansas voters had been
to vote other than a prohibition ball
lot, she would have enforced the pro-
hibition of saloons on our soil. There is
not a murder mill or saloon in our
state that was not brought here by the
Republican voters.
1 can prove that any license party,
especially the Republican is the very
devil by their fruits We Shall know
them" was the test that Jesus gave.
The fruit or work of the Republican
party is the licensed saloon, not one of
these DEVILS dens, but have protection,
defense. a license from the Republican
Democrats business
have this from the Republicans. There
is no man voting this vote who is not
building up the work of hell on earth.
We have a law prohibiting such. oh.
men, for common decency's sake be
loyal to our constitution and vote only
for prohibitionists. In the meantime
1 say to the women, DO with ny
might what thy hands find to do" 1
can truly say with a heart of love,
blessed be God who teacheth my
hands to war and my fingers to fight"

Your Loving and Loyal Home Defen-

swerved of the roadway, ran upon the
grass plot along the road and missed
crashing into a big tree by less than a
foot. Hawley quickly guided the ma
chine back into the road and it sped
away on its journey. The narrow escape
caused momentary excitement among
the spectators.

Is, Wormser's car, burst tire while
rounding the turn at Jericho, but after
a delay of thirty seconds it went on
with a. fiat tire.
A few minutes later Frank Froker's
car met with a similar accident at the
same place. Croker fitted a new tire
and this, together with some slight
trouble with his engine, cost him Is

At Mineola, Gabrieps car passed
across the Long Island railroad track
almost directly in front of a moving
train, missing the pilot of the engine by
less than 80 feet. The train had been
stopped by the signalman stationed at
the crossing, but the engineer claims
that tht flag against him had been rails
ed before he started. Gabriel, who led
at the end of the first lap, maintained
his advantage in the second, covering
the course the second time at an aver
age speed of 81 miles an hour. The
end of the third lap also saw the
French driver leading the procession.

first from broken springs, and the sec

The first serious accident of the race
occurred on the stretch between the

HEAVIEST NAVAL VESSEL.
The Nebraska Is Launched In Presence
of $4,000 People.

Seattle, Oct. Sat o'clock yester-
day afternoon, 8 minutes before the
scheduled time, the battleship Ne
braska left her ways at Morn Broth
ers ship yard in this city and slid
gracefully and majestically into the
waters of Puget sound. The launching
was entirely successful and no hitch
married the proceedings. The only
reason the vessel was launched ahead
of time was that by a slight miscal-
culation the poppet "a wooden brace)
at the bow was raising the vessel too
high and in the opinion of experts it
was better that the supports be knock
ed away without delay.
Fully $4,000 people viewed the cere-
mony and saw the big vessel slip into
the water. She created but a. very
small wave as she took her maiden
plunge, and hoated out gently and
gracefully. Naval men who viewed
the launching stated that it was the
most successful they ever saw.
The Nebraska weighs more than any
vessel ever before launched in the
United States navy. Immediately
after the launching the big Alaskan
liners that lowered about her with
decks black with excursionists looked
diminutive beside her. Miss Mary
Main Mickey, the daughter of Cover
nor Mickey of Nebraska. christened
the vessel.

MIR. STREET Is COMING.
He Will Be in Topeka to Discuss
Water Situation.

Recent agitation of the waterworks
deal has evidently stirred up the ami
mails back on Wall street. City At
torney Spencer received a telegram
Friday afternoon from President Chas.
F. Street of the Topeka Water COM
pany, stating that he will come to To-
peka on Tuesday of next week.
President Street has evidently been
informed of the threats which men,
bers of the council are making against
the water company, and the action
relative to the request for an improve
ment of the plant. He is coming on to
try to smooth things over. His tele-
gram to Mr. Spencer says:
Expect to arrive in Topeka Tues
day to discuss entire situation"
This telegram is probably intended
to forestal any radical action on the
part of the council next Monday night.
There will probably be a special meet
ing of the council called while Mr..
Street is here. to discuss the matter
with him.

Joined the party at ogden. He had in

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking, or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
pIexfcn, sweeter breath, and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: 81 ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; 1 also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe / get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets

Refinery at Yates Center.

Yates Center, Kas., Oct. S.-A move
ment is on foot to establish an indie
pendent refinery in Woodson county.
There are about a dozen oil companies
operating in this county and each has
a number of good wells, and up to
date they have been given no assur-
ance of a pipe line, so that they can
dispose of their product. So they has
decided to interest sufficient capital and
establish a refinery that will take care
of their oil. The oil in Woodson
county is of the same test as the Hum
boldt and Chanute fields.
