Kansas Says Goodbye to Carrie Ma
 ton Without a Tear.

Kansas Says Goodbye to Carrie Ma
 ton Without a Tear.
 Kansas is no longer a congenial field for the explorations of professional freaks, There was a time when the very mention of the name of the state aroused the disabilities of the eastern CTS, who were familiar with the eccen- tric political gyrations of Peffer, Lease, LleWellen and others of the populist host. One by one these stars have twinkled out or flown off to other or bits and the political freak is now a thing of yesterday In Kansas.
 But when Kansas had resumed It's proper place of dignity and nationality among the states, from some silent place of obscurity there came forth a woman with a special grievance against the rum fiend" to which she gave expression by sensational on- slaughts upon the dtns of iniquity with a hatchet. This woman was Carrie Nation. For some time she was a vogue. Her escapades furnished read able copy for many newspapers, and she was followed by brigades or repor- ters. She thrived upon notoriety and went about haranguing street crowds and making assaults upon joints. A little band of deluded followers helped her, but Carrie took due pains that she should get the credit for these expedi- tions.
 When she had become too tiresome for further attention at the hands of the Kansas reporters Carrie went forth to other states. Her conduct was so rude and unmannerly Tn public places that there were some who considered her insane upon the subject of whis- key. She went to the far east and did her special saloon stunt for all there was in it until the whole country grew weary of her and she was dropped for a new sensation. Then she came back to Kansas, but not to the old spotlight. Kansas was through with her and she rarely got more than iline or two in a newspaper where before she had been good for columns. Some months ago she moved to Oklahoma and start ed weekly paper.
 It is now announced that Carrie has decided to quit the west for good. There will be few who will regret her passing. She is going to Washington to get to the base of the rum trouble" While Kansas holds no special grudge against Washington, the state most cheerfully yields Carrie, with one stip- ulation only-that Washington keep her. The woman meant well, but she added nothing to the cause of temper ance by her methods.-Kansas City Journal.

ARGUMENT TODAY
IN CH|SOLM CASE
Goes to Jury About 4 O'clock
This Afternoon
ARGUMENT TO BE LIMITED
Entire Defense In Present Trial Has
Been Based on plea of Insanity.
Large Attendance Is Looked
For Today.

The Chisolm case will be resumed in
the federal court this morning at $3.50
o'clock, at which time argument before
the jury will be begun. After a consul
tation among court and counsel on Sat-
urday afternoon it was agreed that the
argument should be limited to about two
hours for each side, and with an hour
allowed for reading the judges charge,
1t is expected that the case will go to the
jury five hours after court opens.
Allowing an hour and a half for the
noon recess, the jury will probably re-
tire at p. m. today to decide the fate
of Alexander r. Chisolm, and upon their
decision as to his sanity will rest his
future.
The first trial in November of last year
consumed two weeks, but the present trial
will be concluded in less than week s
time owing to the fact that the plea made
by the defense in the second trial is that
of insanity of defendant at the time the
acts were committed.
A large attendance is anticipated for
today's session of court, due to the prom
inence of the parties interested in the
case and the fact that this is the first
important case to be tried by Judge Oscar
r. Hundley since he assumed the office
of district judge.

SERVICES AT CUMBERLAND.
Church Crowded Yesterday to Hear
Sermons by DR.. Tyler.

The revival services at the Cumberland
Presbyterian church began under most
promising circumstances yesterday. The
church building was crowded to the doors
at both services to hear the evangelist,
DIR. Tyler, who talked with great power,
and brought requests for prayer from a
score or more.
At the morning service the evangelist
preached on What 1t Is to be Saved
taking his text from Matthew l, 81, HE
shall save His people from their sins
He said that from the dominion of sin,
from the power of sin, and from the love
of sin are the saved, and that one might
be a member of any church, yet not be
saved.
Last night the church was full when
Dr. Taylor preached from Luke 1, 26. on
1.-The Lost The sermon made deep
impression and many asked for prayer.
Tonight he will talk upon 1.-THE Impair
donable Sin,' and the meeting promises
good results. They will continue every
morning at 80 o'clock and at night at
Eo'clock for ten days or more Every one
Is invited to attend.

PLANNING LIBRARY
FOR COUNTY JAIL
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS CAR
RY BOOKS AND MAGAZINES TO
PRISONERS = MOVEMENT Elk
PEcTED TO SPREAD.

The Sunday school of the First Presby-
terian church has started quite an ap-
proprate movement toward the establish
ment of library in the county jail Yes
terday the children brought numerous
books and magazines, which Superlntend-
ent Dixon and a committee of boys car
ried over and presented. The prisoners
were delighted with the gift and especi-
ally did one fellow, with tears in his eyes
ask eagerly for a little prayer book which
he said was like one his mother used to
have.
The movement is meeting with approx
al by all the congregations. and 1t Is
probable that every Sunday school in the
district will send its contribution to the
library. All kinds of books and maya
zines are acceptable.
The object in view is to cast good in
fuence upon the prisoners and take away
some of the gloom of Imprisonment.
Especially will the library be OF Inn
portance now while the inmates of the
Jail are forced to live in the worst kind
of a dungeon. Superintendent Dixon was
surprised yesterday to find so many fine
looking young men with ambitious faces
in the bastile.

POLLS OPEN And
SALOONS CLOSE
POLICE COMMISSION WHICH WILL
BE ELECTED TODAY WILL HAVE
ONLY ABOUT THREE MONTHS
TO SERVE.

The polls will be open this morning and
have a good reminder of their duties to
the electorate, and abstainers will go to
the polls from natural habit. There is
no issue at stake, and the election of the
officers as In the primary will be con-
firmed.
There is one interesting item which
comes under this head, that the four
police commissioners, after their strenu-
GUS campaign will only serve about three
months before their Offices will be abol-
ished As soon as the legislature adj
journs and the necessary thirty days has
elapsed, the governor will make his APP
pointments on the new commission.
The police commission will hold its
monthly meeting Tuesday week when the
new members, Hal Copeland Tom Park
err w. r. McGavock and F. b. Yielding,
will be sworn in, and several important
trials will some up. Whether the gov
ernor will select his men from the old
commission is not known. though consid-
cred probable
Every one is urged to go to the polls
and register his vote. Except for the
fact that the saloons will be closed the
streets will appear just the same as ever.
Saloonkeepers will be allowed to enter
their places to clean up, but not to sell
or give away whisky.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the sliou.

Lafayette, a conjurer and illusionist,
who comes to Birmingham highly recon-
mended as an entertainer, will open a
weeks engagement at the Bijou theatre
tonight Lafayette comes with an elabo-
rate production, requiring three cars for
its transportation, and large company.
1t is said that he gives a performance
which is unique and entirely different
from anything else of the kind ever seen
In the south. His performance consists of
three parts the first part an deliberately
staged pantomime and a series of tricks
and illusions that are bewildering in their
variety. Lafayette also impersonates
famous composers with the assistance of
a full brass band, which plays the music
of the composer impersonated. Other nov
elites are on a similar scale.
