game from fans standpoint as sew

In the ninth inning Enterprise had
two men on bases with only one out

LIQUOR IN SWEDEN.
Government Sells Rights to Pri-
waite Companies.

Il vate Companies.
WY. Morgan, Of the Hutchinson
News, writes some interesting things
about the '.doings" in the old coun'
try where he is now visiting. From
a recent article we take the following;
There has been a good deal Of talk
in America about the Swedish custom
Of handling the liquor business, known
as the Gothenberg plan. This has
been generally adopted in Sweden and
all the evidence can gather is that
it works well, at least in contrast to
the old go-as-you-please method,
This is the plan: A company is
organized and buys all the rights to
sell spirits in town. All the profit
the company makes over five per cent
on its capital goes to the municipality.
Our consular report quotes from
government statistics to show that
this sale has resulted in decreased
sale Of liquor, credit being given to
the fact that there is no financial OBJ
ject to be accomplished in pushing
the sale, and because the regulation
as TO closing nights and Sundays are
properly carried out. But the excep-
tions to the rule startled poor Kansas
me: Wine and beer are not spirits
and do not come under the law but
are handled on the same theory as
milk and coffee. The finest building
in Stockholm is not royal palace or
national museum but brewery.
The cold climate and the long winter
nights might account to some peo-
pie for the propensity OF Swedes for
stimulants-the same as the people Of
Scotland and England. They tell me
in Stockholm that in the winter time
the daylight begins at 9 and 10 o'clock
and the dark comes at 2 or 8 O'Clock
in the afternoon. What a fine long
evening that would make for reading
and study. Also what a long night
that would make for the man who
went down town after supper at .
o'clock and only got home in time for
breakfast at 10 o'clock next day.
What a dark brown and prolonged
headache and taste there must be for
the boys after Swedish night out
A tourist seeking knowledge OF art
and literature ought not to let his
mind into such things but can't
help wondering at the time ahead Of
the young Swedes when they gather
in the early twilight Of a winters day
and sing We won't go home till
morning. With all of this against
them in the way Of climatic cOndi-
lions, take of my hat to the sober
and industrious Swsdes who go to
church better, work harder and live
Just as useful lives as do the people
in our own United States with its ad-
vantages."

causing that organ to neglect all Of

certainly had suffered with indiges-

nerve-racking and sick-all-over dis
ease than indigestion.
A great many people who have been
treated for years for diseases Of the
heart, liver or kidneys, when they
used Mi-.on-a stomach tablets found
that not only did Mi-o-na cure the
stomach disorder, but 1t made them
well all over and the other troubles
were also cured.

FAMILIAR WITH CUBAN LAWS.
Determining Factor In Magoon's Selec.
ton for Governor.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The determin-
ing factor In the selection Of Governor
Charles e. Magoon as the provisional
governor of Cuba was the fact Of his
familiarity with all the laws Of Cuba
and the steps that were taken during
the lase American occupation to organ
iZe stable government. 1t has al
ready been determined that there must
be an election and the machinery for
a fair election must be constructed
by the provisional governor. Another
feature of the work that will devolve
upon Governor Magoon will be In Sc
curing an Improvement In the laws OF
Cuba with regard to the independence
OF the judiciary. The subserviency of
the judicial to the political power Is
one of the causes of the present trou-
BILE. The persons aggrieved over the
methods of the government had no
redress through the judiciary because
the judiciary was not granted sufti-
Client Independence OF the political
authorities 1t Is the intention Of this
government, according to officials here,
to have such an Improvement In the
present flaws In the next Cuban gov
ernment as will materially decrease
the reasons for revolution and another
Intervention by the United States,

New York, Oct 6.--Believlng that
the murder DOCTORS" as they called
the board of health physicians, were
cutting the throats Of their children
In a public school In the Williamsburg
section Of Brooklyn 1.500 women, near

school building In q mad effort to
reach the little ones. Before the riot
had been quelled several policemen
had been seriously injured by the in
furiated women and one of the rioters
had been arrested.
For several days physicians Of the
board Of health have been examining
the eyes and throats of the pupils. A
contagious affection of the eyes had
spread from the homes of the Italians
in the vicinity of the school and the
doctors were directed to make an In

exterminate the disease.

the murder doctors" wanted to cut
their throats and frenzy that does not
listen to reason spread among the
mothers OF the pupils. They decided
to make an investigation in body
and marched to the school building
l,500 strong, Teachers who we're
warned of the approaching trouble
locked the doors and windows Of the
building and sent call for assistance
to nearby police station. When po-
lice arrived the women turned upon
them, tore their clothes, scratched
their faces and put them to rout be-
fore a detail Of fifteen more officers
reached the scene. When the rein.
forcements came nearly one hour was
required to drive the rioters from the
square.
AS result of the trouble It was
announced that the examination by

FRANCE NAY TAKE ACTOR.
King Of AMMAN Guilty Of Fiendish
Atrocities.

Paris, Oct. 6.--Thamh Thai, king of
AMMAN, according to stories reaching
Paris from Indo-C China. has again been
guilty Of such atrocities that the
French government may become CON-
PEELED to adopt rigorous disciplinary
measures. as it did several years ago.
The mails report that tn August the
king was seized with a homicidal
mania, ordered seven of his wives to
be executed and looked on with de-
light while they were slowly tortured
to death A few days later the king
shot down a prince, who was seventy
years old, member of the council of
the royal family. highly esteemed and
the last surviving son OF King Mimi
Mang. The king wants to come to
Paris, as the king OF Cambodia did,
but the French press declares that
such fiend shall never be allowed to
visit France.

PALMA PANIC STRICKEN
INTiMATEs SURPRISED THAT Gu
BAN PRESIDENT HAD ASKED
FOR INTERVENTION.
READY TO GIVE UP FROM START
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OF THE
sELiEF THAT REBELLION
COULD BE CRUSHED.

Havana, Oct. 6.-None of EXPIRES
ident Palma's intimates, save the cab
inet officers, his private secretary and
United States Consul General Stein
hart. had any knowledge of Palma's
communication In September to the
government at Washington, made pub
lie by Secretary of State Root, and
the greatest surprise is manifested at
the fact thar Palma actually suggested
Intervention as solution. Vice Pres
fdent Mendez Capote, as an attorney,
had privately advised certain foreign
corporations that In his opinion the
necessity for Intervention was I'M
minent, but that Palma had asked out
right for Intervention was not inti-
mated by anybody. 1t was we'll known
that Palma was nervous and fearful,
but It was not generally believed that
he was SO ready to give up, although
It had often been rumored that he
was weakening.
Governor Nunez, who visited Palma
daily perhaps as often as any one ex-
cepting the vice president and cab
met officers. said that he thought 1t
very strange that Palma had taken
such step without informing him.
He did not wish to express an opinion
OF the ex.president's action, but 1t was
certainly all the more strange in view
OF the fact that the government felt
and had every reason to believe that
It was fully
Able to Control the Situation
without American assistance. Nunez
believed the government forces could
have successfully resisted an attack
on Havana and that with its increas-
ing army the government could have
eventually suppressed the rebellion.
The prevalent comment now Is that
Palma gave way to panic In far
greater degree than was indicated in
his call on Mr.. Sleeper. the American
charge d'affaires at Havana, and Com
mander Colwell to land the United
States cruiser Denver's sailors.

respects.

The EIr.t Electric Train.

The earliest public trial Of passen-
ger boat driven by an electric motor
was that conducted by Professor ia
cobb of st. Petersburg in the year 1888,
though for four years previously he
had successfully experimental with
electric traction in the privacy Of his
own grounds. The trial Of JacobPs
vessel took place on the Neva and was
witnessed by vast crowd Of people.
The boat was twenty-eight feet long
and ten feet wide and carried fourteen
persons.
It was not until four years later that
we find any record Of passenger car
riage driven by electricity on land, and
in this case the inventor was Alexan,
der Davidson Of Edinburgh. The car
rage was sixteen feet long by seven
feet wide and was impelled for mile
and half at the rate Of four miles an
hour OH the Edinburgh and Glasgow
railway.

Sumner.

Christmas Day was very happily
observed at the home of Mrs. Columbia
Davenport of Sumner. Eight children
with their companions, and ten grand
children, making in all twenty-four in
number, gathered beneath the roof Of
the old homestead to celebrate Merry
Christmas.
Those of the family were Mr.. and Mrs.
John Davenport and two children Of
Hartford; Louis, Adelbert and Albert
Davenport, who are unmarried and live at
home; Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Davenport
of Sumner; Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Turner,

Sumner; Mr.. and Mrs. George Noyes,
Mrs. Noyes nee Mary A. DavenporD and
son, of Sumner; Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin
Carey, Mrs. Carey nee Susie Davenport)
and seven children of Sumner.
A very bountiful dinner was supplied,
the same being under charge of Mrs.
John Davenport and Mrs. George Noyes,
consisting of all the customary substan-
tials, followed by dessert of mince and
other pies, several kinds of cake, plum
pudding, coffee, etc.
After the dinner was disposed of Miss
Wilma Davenport, Miss Elsie Carey and
Master Arthur Noyes delivered some
recitations in very pleasing manner,
and Mr.. George Noyes offered prayer in
behalf of the day and the company.
After this the tree, which was very pref
tily decorated, and heavily laden with
gifts for one and all, was relieved of it's
burden of love and good will, as was
| also a well-filled line which was strung
across the room. Everybody was re-
membered, and very merry time fol-
lowed the distribution of the gifts. Mrs.
Columbia Davenport, in whose honor
the party were assembled, received many
useful and pretty gifts, among which
was very nice bed spring, a pair OF
blankets, books, towels, bowls, etc. Just
before nightfall the party dispersed to
their several homes, after many wishes
were expressed that another Christmas
might find them united in a similar
manner
