SYMPATHY WITH THE ACCUSED
Former Congressman is Fined by
Kansas Judge.

lola, Kas., July he II. Funs-
ton, former Congressman from this
district, was, in Police Court found
guilty of disturbing the peace and
with having carried concealed
weapons.
The charges against Mr.. Funs-
ton grew out of the wrecking with
dynamite by temperance fanatic
on July 10 of three lola "ioints"
or saloons. The explosion followed
an agitation against the saloons, in
which Gov. Hoch was appealed to
in an effort to secure the enforce
ment Of the State prohibition law.
Intense excitement followed the
act of the dynamiter, and for three
J days the'city was crowded with
people, who came from many points
of the State to view the wreckage.
Mr.. Funston, it was charged, had
made inflammatory utterances TO
Icrowds that gathered about HIM on
the streets. When Patroiman
Cannon tried to persuade Mr..
Funston to desist a quarrel between
the two ensued and Funston at
tempted to draw revolver. Funs-
ton was arrested and formal
charge made against him. In the
trial, which was attended by hun
dreds of persons, one witness
testified that Mr.. Funston had
said: II am glad that someone
had nerve enough to do it. The
only regret is that the men sa-
loonkeepers) wern't there to be
blown out of their buildings. If
the police officers had done their
duty this would not have happened
/ have no sorrow. in my heart for
the men along this street who have
suffered loss, because they have
done business with these men and
have not put stop to their bust
ness"
Mr.. Funston testified in his own
defense. He admitted he had
come to town armed with a shot
gun and had purchased shot on
that day. He asserted that he
wanted the shot to protect his
property, located some distance
from lola, against a threat that
had been made to burn it. He
denied having made infiammatory
utterances.
The loss caused by the explosion
was estimated at 100000 and the
alleged dynamiter, c. L. Melvin,
is still at large.
Judge Adair, in sentencing Mr.. !
Funston, said:
ut is with great regret that i
have been called upon to render /
judgment in the matter. l wish to
state That have known Mr.. Funs-
ton ever since / have been in Kan
sas :. jnai i know him TO be an
honorable, upright citizen and a
man of exemplary character and
reputation. heartily sympathize
with his feelings in regard to the
joint question. A man who re-
CARDS his family and children
would naturally resent anything |
that would tend to disgrace or
injure them. l do not wish it un-
derstood that any judgement ! may |
render intimates that do not
sympataize with the sentiments
and feelings of those who believe
in the enforcement of the prohi-
bitory law. I have decided the
matter disregarding the standing
of the defendant, public sentiment
and everything except the law and
the evidence"

You mistaken.
Neithe Sep the girl would accept copper cent
from her parents With his savings of several years he
bought little cottage near the Seip grocery store.
And he gets up early the morning and sweeps out the

They will. She married the man she loved
And of they would reply, "Oh, that's all very
WELL but there is call for fine girl like Enid Philips
to marry man beneath her.
And the happy young could hear the criticism

To Preserve Berries or Cherries
Whole.
AS near as possible select perfect
fruit. Wash and NIL the pars two
thirds full. Have ready a rich
thick syrup and pour boiling hot
over the fruit until jars are full.
Then place jars in pan of cold
water over the fire and let come to

thus thoroughly scalded put on cap
and seal. Fruit thus preserved

eJIIy Secrets.
The secret of good jelly and de-
licious preserve lies in the selec-
ton of the fruit, which should. be
firm and not overripe. Too ripe
fruit will never turn to jelly. Never
cook any fruits in tin. The pre-
serving kettle should be porcelain,
granite or enamel ware. Have a
large spoon of same material Use
dry white sugar, preferably granu-
lated. With these essentials you
are ready to begin whenever the
fruit is at hand.

The gargoyle is leaning over a

of those that Victor Hugo refers to
in his remarkable story.
Relieving the romance, gargoyles

Serve Papers Upon Her

warrant for the arrest of r. A.
King, proprietor of roomng house at
14OO Temple street, charging him with
battery, was issued in the city at
torney's office yesterday morning.
The complaining witness Is Rebecca
Corrao, who alleges that King, who is
her landlord, used force in trying to
enter her apartments yesterday, and
that when she resisted him he struck
her left hand with such force as to
break several bones.
According to the story Of Mrs. Cor
rao King called upon her to serve some
papers regarding her rent. She says
that her landlord demanded to see her
husband and attempted to enter a
room in which a lady friend of Mrs.
Corrao was dressing. In an endeavor
to prevent Kings entering the room
Mrs Corrao says that she placed her
hand upon the door and that he then
struck her. King has not yet been ar
rested.
