GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.
Latest Move Of Those Fighting for Re.
tentiOn of the DlSpenSafy.

Columbia, December 1S:-Ths
supreme court has issued an,
o..:.r injunction. This time it
! is to keep the dispensaries in
), Williamsburg county open. This
makes the list of "kept open by
order of the supreme court, y
Spartanburg. Greenville, Ander-
son, and now Williamsburg, and
next will come Edgeield. If
there used to be one thing Sen
ator Tillman "cussed' it was
government by injunction, but
that seems to be the only stay
of the dispensaryites Just now.
The Williamsburg case, how
eyer, presents other complica:
+ions. The State board of can
vasserS has not yet declared
the result of that county and
does not know what to do. Ehe
result for Anderson county has
been declared and communica-
ted. 1t was against the dis
pensary. After the verdict
against the dispensary in An.
derson county had been de
clared the board of canvassers
took up the Williamsburg mat
ter. Mr. LEROY Lee was pres
ent to protest against the re-
suit being declared, and Mr. Il h
Welch was present on the same
mission. Mr. Lee took the po-
sition that he had filed a pro-
test before the county board of
canvassers and that the
county board declared the
result without giving him d
chance to be heard. He stated
that the county board took
recess until a certain date, and
that upon going out on the
street the information was Civ,
en- that the county board had to
act at once to come within the
the law, and that the county
board returned and held the
meeting and declared the ge-
suit of the election to be against
the dispensary.
Mr. Welch will take the po-
sition that the election was il
legally held and will urge that
it was not a secret ballot in
that two boxes were provided.
One of these boxes, it is claimed,
was "for dispensary'' and the
other mo dispensary," and. by
such a system there was no Sc
cret ballot, and that the law
was violated in this respect.

gal fight ahead. : ~

WESTERN KANSAS.

Little by little western Kansas is
coming into its own. Little by little
the people of the east are recognizing
its value. Little by little its popula-
ton is growing-in some places not
so little, either.
American Investments, a financial
and commercial paper published at
Buffalo, N. Y. contains the following
compliment to western Kansas in its
current issue:
1.-THE state of Kansas is going after
another agricultural record. Not con-
tent with at least three record crops
she bids fair to eclipse past perform
ances and send to market in 1905 be-
tween 100000 and 1OO.OO0,000
bushels of wheat. This prospect, to-
gether with achievements in recent
years, has caused thousands of east
ern farmers to turn with longing eyes
toward the former domain of the
grasshopper. One of the most re-
markable facts of the wonderful in
dustrial story that is being woven
about the country beyond the turbid
waters of the Missouri is the regene :
ration of western and more especially
of southwestern Kansas. Less than
a short decade ago this portion of this
great state seemed doomed to stag
nation The very name of western
Kansas was a byword and reproach,
and in the estimation of the public
nothing good and much that was bad
came out of it. Today there is no
part of the western country which is
being sought more eagerly than are the
fertile uplands and the beautiful val
leys of this hitherto despised region.
A transformation that is going on in
western Kansas is scarcely credible
unless one goes there and sees for
himself that the state of Kansas is
finally coming fully into its own and
that it can no longer be deprived OF
it's natural heritage"

pours the water in the machine just

chine at high rate of speed. The
soft water comes out of the milk
spout while the rest comes out of the
cream spout. 1t seems almost in
credulous that this should be so. and
the dealer who handles the machines
was as much surprised as we were"

GLOBE SIGHTS.
[From the Atchison Globe.l

How time flies! It seems only a
year since Mary Clark was a child run
ming around the streets of Atchison;
now she is married, and has a baby
big enough to say thank you for
nickels.
81 have no objection to other people
liking Lysander John Appleton, but
object when they rub it on me; 1 don t
like him. Let them keep their adj
miration for him to themselves. -
Drake Watson.
Some men never get over a bad habit
of their youth. When their father gave
them a task to perform, they made
their younger brothers do it, and bossed
the job. There are grown men working
down town today who have this habit.
To give them a task to perform means
extra work for all those around them.
You hear great deal about the
sacrifices women make for their homes,
their children, their aged relatives,
their husbands, etc, but if making
sacrifices wins a heavenly crown a
large bright one is laid out up there
for an Atchison man. He began giving
up when he was married by yielding
his freedom to girl who chased him
until he could not run any farther. He
gave up having a quiet wedding be-
cause his bride wanted a procession
one. He gave up his kin because his
wife did not like them. He gave up
his friends, his kind of amusements,
business he was engaged in, and, final
| ", the town he lived in, to please his
wife. If he were d woman, his friends
would say his life is noble monument
of sacrifice, but as he is a man, his
friends say he is fool.

The Old Fox has all his sons and sons

has ralxed in $4,000 as receiver for the
Kansas Mutual and may get as much
receivership. That's lot more than
the pension agents Office would pay in
several terms.-Smith County Pioneer.
Might as we'll tell all of the bitter
truth while you are about it. Mr..
Leland also has a dry goods store, a
grocery store, a hardware store, and
several other kinds of stores and shops
up at Troy, any one of which would
keep the wolf from his door without
any pension agency to help him out.
Then he also owns the Troy opera
house and has other property there,
besides a grain elevator or two. In
addition he has two or three fine
farms in Doniphan county, on one of
which he makes his home, all of
which contribute to the uselessness OF
being sad over the pension agency
business.
II all of the terrible truth must be
known, we must admit that Mr.. Lee
land is one of the kind of business
men who can give bond for a quar-
ter of a million of dollars in half an
hour. He is ona of the kind that has
the implicit confidence of his fellow
citizens in Doniphan county for square
dealing and his business ability is I'M
disputed. That's the bitter truth OF
the matter.
His political methods are a different
question about which good people differ
widely.

THE BALLADE OF A BROOM

When Susan starts to sweeping,
A cap about her curls,
The broom goes fairly leaping,
The dust-it fairly wh:rls;
She sounds the ultimatum-
The play house must be clean,''
And shortly not an atom
OF dirt is to be seen
When Sally sweeps the play house
And plies her little broom,
And tries to make from chaos
A neat and tidy room.
The dust seems but to scorn her,
1t plays the meanest tricks,
In every crack and corner
So stubbornly it sticks.
Till Susan comes to cheer her
And lends a helping hand,
For there is not a dearer
Big sister in the land:
Then Sally stops her sweeping
And runs away to play,
And that's the end of sweeping
Until another day.

Percy Kaufman, the bookkeeper be-

spot on his trousers the other day
and naturally it annoyed him greatly.
At the first opportunity he took them
off and sent them to cleaner with
careful instructions to the boy as to
how they should be cleaned and
pressed. The boy simply told the
cleaner to take out the grease spot.
A few hours afterward the trousers
were returned. The tailor had neatly
cut out-the grease spot from the gar
ment and just as neatly patched in
another piece. 1t wasn't exactly what
Percy expected or wanted, but it
seems to be an ingenious method of
taking out grease spots. I am going
to try the experiment of getting
grease all over my trousers and then
sending them to the cleaner. If he
is consistent he ought to send me back
