Forever.

Topeka. Kan, Oct. ACCORDING to
sued today bills and accounts of Ii
evidence against a jointist. The de-
cision was given in the appeal of Jim
Corn from Allen county. The opinion
was written by Justice Graves.
In July, 1906, Corn was arrested by
the sheriff and the assistant attorney
general for Allen county. and besides
4 lot Of beer found in the ice chest
several bills for liquors by the case
from big brewing companies were
also seized. At the trial of the case
these bills were introduced as evi-
dence and had an important part in
conVictlng Corn of violating the pro-
hibitOry law and maintaining a nuiS-
ance. He appealed to the supreme
court on the ground that the bills
should not be allowed as evidence
against him. But the court holds
that this sort of evidence was admis-
sable In showing the kind and char
acter Of the business conducted by
Corn
Justice Mason, in the appeal of Ly-
man Ford, from the same county, III
another liquor case which was de-
cided today by the court and which
involved the same questions as the
Corn case, delivered an opinion also
holding that bills and accounts were
good evidence against viOlatorS of the
PrOhibitOry law.

opinion of the court was written by
Justice Smith. the appeal of Jack
Porter and John Cummings from
Montgomery county was denied and
the decision Of the lower court affirm

OF the building for selling liquors, no
matter how often the ownership OF
the property was changed. The court
also held that it was not necessary
that the new owners should know Of

In 1904 an injunction was granted
against a building in Independence,
the persons then owning the prop

established in it. The new owners
were arrested, fined $500 and given
six months in jail and costs for con-

3eHt trial which resulted in it's cen
viction and the levying against it by

Thousands c. tons of freight have
been shipped from these points whit
ing. Ind. Pullman, Hegewisch and
South Chicago, Ill., during the past
fifteen years under the same circum-
stances as the Standard shipments
and If the Standard is guilty in this
case, so is practically every other
shipper in this great manufacturing
territory. Is there a purpose in Sc
lecting the Standard as a victim?"

containing these words had been ex

opportunity to inform the jury regard

lie to purchase tickets before boarding
trains. 1t also contained a yelled
threat that unless this is done the

OF cash fares on trains will tend to
lessen the reads receipts under the

better quality of white enamel cloth, and. If
stationary tubs are in Your kitchen, have an
adjustable piece of white enamel cloth as a
cover for the top of the tubs, TO be laid over

For the gas range hunt up light weight
wooden board or a perfectly stiff piece of
pastcboard as near the size of the top of the
range can be found, cover the board with a

The Value of Paint

TF you cannot have oilcloth, the floor can
be painted. Some consider this better than
oilcloth, as the latter is generally cold to the
feet. Choose light yellow paint about the color
of pale oak. Put several coats allowing
each to dry before the next is applied: then
add two coats of varnSh. When dry YOU will
have a fine floor.
BY using any of the floor coverings there
will be great saving of labor. doing away
with the scrubbing, so necessary when the
floor is left bare.
With walls, ceiling, and floor in order, the
kitchen furnishings can be attended to.
Purchase some good quality of white enamel
cloth, and cut of piece sufficiently large to
cover the table. Let it extend down over
all the sides, and be ample enough to turn over
and lay up against the under side of the ledge
of the table where it can be fastened with
tacks. Only few moments are required to
transform the tables bare wooden top. so
difficult to keep clean. into a glistening,
smooth, white surface, and easily may the
white enamel cloth be kept free from spots
that 1t actually seems to repel anything which
might soil it.
Use light weight white enamel cloth for
protecting the wall against which the table and
chairs stand. The lengthwise center of the
cloth should run along back of the top ledge
OF the table. SO that half of the cloth will be
above and half below the table. Cut the
