Get the Key.

Atchison, April 26.-George H Whit

receivers for the bFewegtes5- came here

was that of James O'Brien, a minor
place at Thirteenth and Main, west OF
the business portion of the city.
O'Brien's place is owned by the Schlitz
company He had only a small stock
of liquors and a cheap set of fixtures.
He willingly turned over the key to the
receivers He was not arrested.
This call was made without seeing the
city officials. Later the chief OF police
was called upon and he conducted the
receivers to the ice plant, a public stor-
age house, where any one might keep
their liquor. They are there this after
noon
There are eighteen open saloons in the
city but their proprietors are paying no
attention to the presence Of the receiv-
ers in town
They claim that they are not agents
of any OF the enjoined brewers and
therefore are not subject to action upon
the part Of the present visitors. Their
attorneys claim that service has not
been secured upon them
All of the Helms agents closed their
saloons shortly after service and closed
up taking their stock to Missouri.
Just what further action the receivers
will take here IS not known

these questions are being asked by the

lous railroad managers all over the
country as to the railroad pans Of the
President. Up to date lie has given no
indication of what he intends to do inthe
announcement line. The President may
make some sort Of an announcement at
any one OF the occasions when he speaks
In public in the course OF tile next mouth.
But he seems in no hurry to make any
more extensive statement Of his position
than he has made already. The railroad
situation is complicated just now beyond
question. There has been the greatest
slump on in the history Of Wall Street.
The railroads are curtailing improves

strike on in the west that il it becomes a
reality will tie up about $1,000 miles of
trackage and affect directly and indirectly
half a million men. But there il serious
question in the minds Of The Presidents

In New Jersey last fall the candidates
for the Legislature in Newark in writ
ten letter announced that they would op-
pose local option. The result was that a
icitizens' ticket was put in tile field within
few days Of the election that polled TO-
900 votes, resulting in the defeat OF the
Republican ticket
Speaking Of the political conditions in
this State and The effect Of the local option
movement. Mr.. Nicholson said:
I'm Pennsylvania in 1906, the active and
open opposition OF theliquor organization
to Mr.. Berry drove the temperance vote
to him in large numbers, and from the
information which has come to MS there
is no doubt but that that fact added many
thousand votes to his majority.
In the present General Assembly, out
of thirty-niBe men who were in the last
House, and who were reelected to the pres
ent House outside of Allegheny and Phil
adelphia twenty-four are for local option,
seven are doubtful, while only eight are
known to be absolutely against local
option, which would indicate that the
temperance men Jared splendidly last
November
1t may be said further that the large
majority OF the men that were indorsed
by the Anti-Saloon League on tile local
option issue ran ahead of their tickets.
Specific instances showing the power
of the moral forces at the polls might be
given in the States of Washington, Cali.

POLITICIANS FIGHT LOCAL OPTION

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 10TH There
may have been time, years ago, when
the moral forces were unorganized, when
it was unsafe politically to support tenn
perance measures. But that day has
passed. The moral forces are now thor
oughly organized and it is now politically
safe for Legislators to support Local OPP
ton bii!s."
The Rev. s. E. Nicholson, superinten-
dent OF the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon
League, made this statement to-day in dis
cussing the attack upon him by Represen-
tatiye Cooper, Of Delaware county, at the
hearing before the House, Law and Order
Committee on the Craven Local Option
bill last Wednesday night, in " which Cooper
charged that the league folks were NOR
alists simply and did not know the game
Of politics.
Mr.. Nicholson declared facts to support
his statement were so abundant that the
liquor interests to-day fear theAnti-SaIoon
League as they fear nothing else.
Mr.. Nicholson then cited the following
in support Of his declaration:
In Ohio the temperance and Church
elements opposed the re election Of Gov
ernor Herrick, in 1865, because as Gov
ernor he interfered with the enactment
Of temperance laws, with the result that
Governor Pattison, Democrat, was
elected. The same Temperance element,
however. that supported Governor Patti
son, generally supported the rest Of the
Republican ticket.
In Indiana temperance law was en-
acted about which tile Republican lead.

Aunt Adde'S Apple Tarts
Y WILLIAM LINCOLN BALCH

GREETED that it was against the
rules to communicate such infor.
nation. Besides, the superin,
tendent was the proper person
to apply to-the only one who
could suspend any Of the regula-
tions of the establishment-and
she had just gone away for the
day. Return2 Probably not un-
til next Monday.
Uncle Chester, who had re
mained in the background of this
colloquy, now came to the front,
and repeated his discomftted
nephew's request.
/ should be very glad indeed to
oblige you, sir, said the young
girl; but our goods are all home
made. They are cooked for US
by patrons who supply US with
their dainties on condition that
their identity shall not be re
vealed.
I understand, and I am sure I
should be the last to pry into
such secrets, under ordinary cir
cumstances, replied Uncle Ches-
ter; but the circumstances are
extraordiinary and feet feet almost almost {
certain that I already know the
identity of the lady who made
those apple tarts.
Apple tarts. did you say? cried
the pretty cashier, with deeper
blush and a startled air, as she
came from behind her desk.
Apple tarts, repeated Chester
Sloane, marked with a capital
'A'-and if they're not Aunt Ad-
dies apple tarts, I'm no Judge of
pastry, and no worthy son of old
Sandwich.
What do you know about Aunt
Addic? Did you come from Sand
wich? asked the girl almost in
the same breath.
Yes, came from Sandwich,
where Aunt Adde'S cooking was
famous. She was Adeline
Tucker; but the lady who sup
plies you with these tarts, unless
I'm altogether wrong in my con-
lecture, is Miss Adelaide Payson.
The girl started, blushed and
stammered:
She a0as Adelaide Payson-and
she's my Aunt Addie!
Vas? exclaimed Uncle Chester
paling momentarily. Then, re-
covering himself, he added; Oh, 1
understand-partly. Is your
aunt married?
She is a widow-her name is
Rand.
1 see, And that is your name,
too?
The young lady bowed, with
yet another rosy blush, as she
looked from the tail of an eye at
Olney.
The Thanksgiving dinner at
Green Gables was, to most of the
family, a tame affair, and to Mrs.
Sloane a positive disappointment.
From the feast for which she had
made such elaborate preparations
the chief guest was absent. An.
other absentee-whose detection |
she regarded with emotions min
gled beyond mere masculine an
alysis-was Olney, who had re-

Chester, Aunt Addie and her
niece. Miss Rosa Rand.
That little Thanksgiving repast
was an immense success, from
every point of view, unless an
exception again be made in the
case of that of Mrs. Sloane. But
she was quite prepared, if not re-
signed, when a double wedding
resulted.
All on account of those apple
thingumies! was the comment of
Mr.. Sloane when he read the in

ignorance and disappointment
