STATES ATTORNEY AFTER THEN
ATTEMPTING no OUST BRFWFRY
COMPANIES FROM STATE.
Quo WarrantO Proceedings In the SUI
preme Court May Prove a Very
Elective Fight.

Topeka, April 11.-What is believed
to be the most drastic step yet for the
enforcement OF the prohibition law in
Kansas was made today when F. s.
Jackson, attorney. general. fled nine
quo warrantO petitions asking the
Kansas supreme court to drive that
number OF brewery companies from
Kansas. a suit was filed against
wholesale liquor house in Wichita also.
The suits were filed against the fol-
lowing companies:
The Rochester Brewing company
and H c. Anderson, its agent in To-
peka
The Anheuser-Busch Brewing com
pany and George Link, its agent in
LeavenwOrth.
The Val Blstz Brewing company
and Robert Kneisler, its agent in
Leavenworth, and H Robinovitz, its
agent in AtchisOn-
The Kansas City Breweries compa-
ny.
The Imperial Brewing company.
The Joseph H Schlitz Brewing COM
pany and c. H. Curtis, its agent in

han. J. J. Mahan, F. B. Garcelon and
William Meyer, the owners. This is a
wholesale liquor house in Wichita It
is the agent Of several breweries and
distiIleries.
The supreme court is asked to Gust
the corporations from dong business
in Kansas on two grounds. The first
is that the corporations are organized
under the laws Of another state and
have not obtained a license to do bus
mess in Kansas and that they are en-
gagged in a business contrary to law.
Kansas requires that all corpora tons
Of other states must pay a license fee
and obtain permission to transact
business in Kansas before the state
will recognize the corporations. The
supreme court ha- held several times
that a corpOTati ton has no right under
the laws Of the state until il is au-
thorized to do business in Kansas. The
breweries cannot obtain charters in
Kansas. The companies have been do
ing business in KanEls Cor years and
many Of them own the Joints and
lease them to the men in active

Schneider OF the Pullman company,
believes is a fOrerunner OF the cars
that VIII ultimately displace those Of
the wooden type. lay for several days
last week on a track in the annex OF
the Grand Central station.
Before leaving the works at Pull
man, I'LL, where it was built, the
jamestown was subjected to a wreck
test. Attached TO an engine running
at the rate Of thirty miles an hour, the
steel car was bumped into a wooden
sleeper The vesdbule Of the wooden
car and the tender Of the locomotive
were smashed, but the jamestown
withstOOd the crash. As il has a com
preston OF $500, 900 pounds, It is be-
lieved by the Pullman people, who are
now erecting a factory for the sole
manufacture Of the steel cars, that It
will be practically wreckprOOf-
While called an aIl-steel car, some
Of the minor portions Of the James
town are OF brass and aluminium. Up
on the steel UNDERTAKING., built as
soIidly as possible, the steel floor is
laid down, composed Of plates a quar-
ter Of an inch thick, Next comes a
layer Of hair felt, above which is an
other plate Of metal Upon the cor
rugated surface Of the latter mOnOlith
is laid, which completes the floor ex-
cept for the carpet
The superstructure consists Of two
portions, an inner shell and an outer
one riveted to beams and jOists. Be
tween the two ore two layers OF as
bestos and an airspace fed from open
ings with the csT. This feature Of
the construction is called by the build
ers the insulation, and is designed both
to keep the car cool in summer and TO
prevent the car from being a noisy
one. The ceiling Of the inner struc-

MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FIRE.

Pretty Home Of o. c. Dawson CausIt
q Blaze From a Match.
Mr.. o. c. Dawson reports that he
had to take quick action 70 prevent a
fire in his house Saturday night. The
old gentleman had ki0dled "a FIRE in
the stove, and upon striking a search
light match had not noticed that n
piece Of the burning sulphur had shot
upon the rope curtains depending in
the door space between the parlOr and
sitting room He had just comfort
ably seated himself, when, upon look
ing up, he noticed that the rope cur
tains were all ablaze. Mr.. Dawson,
not thinking that the curtain pole
could be easily removed, seized hold
OF the burning curtains to remove
them, when pole and all came tum-
bling down, and he quickly threw the
burning material out Of doors, and
the fire was out
Mr.. Dawson says he is going to dis
card the ''red-headed' matches after
this and use only the 'blue-dpped'
kind, which are safer and no not ex-
plOde when being ignited.

Last week the EpwOrth League in
vited the members Of the church and
any friends interested in the church
and its work to meet at the church on
Friday evening to welcome into our
midst the new pastor Rev. Thomas,
and his family A good number re-
spOnded and a pleasant social evening
was spent in renewing old acquaint-
ances and in forming new ones 1t
was a very informal reception, which
made it the more pleasant
The league is making a good, steady
growth; new members are coming in
and the meetings are growing better
as the young people take a more &C
tive part. A general awakening Of in
terest is shown. The meeting last
Sunday evening was led by Mrs Kim
mel The choir gave two special Sc
IectiOns.
Last Sunday morning the large
congregation that greeted the new
pastor was treated to a most excellent
discourse. 1t was on the theme BE
hold the Man" 1t was a strong, up
lifting sermon that filed the hearers
with a greater longing TO take Christ
into their lives more fully and com
pletely and with a stronger determin-
alton to do so. In the evening large
audience greeted the pastor to hear
mis- message, taken from the parable
Of the IOaves and fishes. His plea was
for the Christian worker not to be
come discouraged at the seeming OBJ
stacIes in the way but TO remember
that God, working through US, can
reach the multitudes, even as the
multitude was fed from the lOaves
and fishes The church was glad to
welcome Mr.. and Mrs Buell. who
united with US by letter

TIE ART ExFIIBTT.
At Masonic Han Was Wen Attend

AT Masonic HAN Was Wei Attend
ed and Much Enjoyed.
The first art exhibit in GoOdIand
was that displayed on the walls Of the
Masonic hall Friday and Saturday BY
Mrs Kate ApplingtOn, superintendent
Of the Kansas Travelling library. The
exhibit, including photographic copies
Of the best Dutch, Flemish and Ameri-
can paintings, was the subject Of an
hours discourse on art and artists by
Mrs Applington Friday evening.
OF some Of the pictures that had
their origin in history or literary pro-
ductiOn. she told the story engagingly.
To illustrate the meaning Of one pic
ture, she rehearsed the beautiful
story Of the Holy Grail. Indeed, her
efforts in this line and in depicting the
characters OF the four great American
painters, Whistler, Sargent, Vedder and
Abbey, and the phases Of art in which
they excelled, were instructive as well
as edfying.
However, Mrs. AppIingtOn, for the
good Of those who perhaps have never
given thought TO art or read concern
ing IL, should have defined art, told
that it was the creation Of the beau
tfful; what the essentials OF a great
picture are, for instance, expression,
unity in variety, truth, etc And thus
put a very valuable foundation under
her discourse and start new minds on
new roads with the principles that
leads to greater knowledge
Mrs. ApplingtOn's exhibit and talk
OF art was under the auspices Of the
Athena club Of this city, which paid
all the expenses Of the visit and in a
measure offered opportunity for the
awakening Of culture among the peO-
pie
On both Friday and Saturday even
ings local musical talent helped to
vary the prOgram.

her home with her son, Daniel c
Derby. When asked the question If
there would be a house built on the
old site, Mrs. Derby said that she
didn't think there would. She says
she has no idea how the fire could
have started. The kitchen floor was
covered with HnOleum and the stove,
setting in one corner Of the kitchen,
had never shown any effect Of heat
upon the wall.

SHERMAN COUNTY WHEAT.

Still Holds on in Spite Of Dry Spell OF
Spring Weather.
People from other points are gen
orally surprised at the fine appearance
Of wheat in Sherman county, as they
come here on business or to look
over the country In this part Of the
state there is no green bug pest and
not likely to be.
H T Dimmitt, a good farmer west
Of GOOdland about five miles, reports
that he has wheat fourteen inches in
height from the bulb to the longest
leaves. When it is remembered that
only a slight amount Of moisture in
either rain OF snow has fallen here
since October, It is simply wonderful
how well the winter and spring wheat
has held on. This country beats the
world for the conservation Of mOis-
ture on welI-tilled fields.
