CONFISCATE THE PROPERTY
Of oil Saloons in Kansas Most Radi-
cal Prohibition Move Ever Made.

Topeka. -Attorney-General Jackson,
by securing an injunction against nine
foreign brewing companies to prevent
their owning property and operating
saloons, and in obtaining an order for
the appointment of receivers for the
brewers property, has taken the most
effective measure ever invoked to en-
force the prohibitory law in Kansas.
He intends to push his crusade to an
active conclusion, and today, in an in
terview, said;
"When the receiver is named he will
proceed to locate and take under his
control all property of the defendants
found in the State, and will thus be
able to state every place where the de-

business in Kansas Any attempt to
conceal the sale of liquors will place the
defendants and all their participating
agents, any place in the State, in CON

"The property will be sold, and out
Of the proceeds the court will pay all
costs and damages due the State. If it
is necessary to send the militia to en-
force the order, the defendants will pay
the bill. 1t will not be necessary to do

HADDAD'S MONEY STOLEN.
Pathetic Scene at the Funeral Of His
Four Children.

Fulton, Ky.-It has developed that
some miscrcant stole q large sum OF
money from the Haddad home, which
was destroyed by fire. Mr., Haddad had
about $500 concealed in feather bed
in the house. The bed was not burned
up, and when searched after the fire
had abated only a small portion Of the
money could be found. A young white
boy named Johnson got some Of it. lie
admitted getting small sum, stating
that he found the money in the yard
across which the bed had been carried.
He gave up, so he claims, all the money
he got, but there is still a large amount
unaccounted for.
The four children who were burned
to death were inferred in one large
grave, the four little white caskets
being conveyed to the cemetery in a
white hearse. Several hundred people
attended the funeral and burial. Such
scene was never before witnessed in
Fulton. The rawlings of the cnazed
father were terrible to behold, and
strong men-men whowere unacquaint-
ed with the Haddad iamily-broke
down and cried like babies. The grave
was literally banked with costly flowers
by American friends of the Assyrians
At the conclusion Of the burial service
the great crowd filed past the heart
broken father and grasped his hand ii

burned, has contracted pneumonia, ant

VIOLENT STORM ON ATLANTIC.
Five Hours in Storm Rarely Exceed
ed for Violence.

New York, N, Y.-From midnight
Tuesday night until 5 o'clock Wednes-
day morning the steamer La Provence,
which arrived in port, passed through
a storm, which the officers of the ship
say has rarely been exceeded in VIC
lence on the Atlantic.
At dinner time Tuesday the barom-
eter began a once to fall rapidly and
as midnight approached the ship had
reached an area where air was so
heavily charged with electricity that
the compass became worse than use
less. Suddenly a terrific storm swept
down on the ship. Great waves broke
over the liners docks, but no rain
fell the night being perfectly clear.
After five hours the storm abated as
suddenly as it had come, No one was
injured but the passengers were bad
ly frightened
Capt. Alix Of the liner believes the
strange storm was the result of the
same forces which caused the earth
quake shocks in Mexico.
