MAKE TOWN DRY.
Attorney General Jackson Says
LeavenwOrth Must Reform.
Saloons and Gambling Places
to Quit the Sales.
LOT OF ULTIMATUMS.
Official Family of the City Or
dered to Get Busy at Once.
Whisky and Beer No Longer
to Be Source of Profit.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 16.-An-
other effort is to be made to reform
Leavenworth.
Fred s. jackson, attorney general
of the state, is the one who viii ad-
minister the corrective measures MI
Jackson has labored manfully with
lawbreakers in other parts of the state
in his two terms in office and has had
great success. but Leavenworth was
brand that refused to be snatched
from the burning. 1t IS true that
there were times when Leavenworth
appeared to have been touched"
but the next report would show that
the town was bad" and was glad of
1t.
But now all is to be changed.
Whether or not Mr.. Jackson felt that
the Endorsement given him November
3 strengthened his arm to degree
to enable him to lay the rod against
the jacket of the most obstreperous
youngster is unknown. What is known
is that he came here Saturday and
handed out a few ultimatums.
Reduced to their lowest terms,
these ultimatums were that Leaven-
worth was going to drive out saloons
and gambling rooms or there would
be a few vacant chairs in Leaven-
worth's official family.
Mr.. Jackson was accompanied by
G. D. Shukers, the assistant attorney
general who has labored long to bring
Leavenworth to the mOurners' bench.
They proceeded to the courthouse and
announced that they were going to
have a little party. Invitations were
sent to Mayor e. w. GRANGER. ]. H.
Wendorff, city attorney; Thomas
Brown, sheriff, and Lee Bond, county
attorney. No one sent regrets. The
favors were broad hints that unless
the law was enforced in Leavenworth
in Topeka defending custer proceed
ings. A report current here that the
officials in question made solemn
promises of enforcing the law has
spread CONSERVATION among the gam
blers and jointkeepers.
Mr.. Jackson let it be understood
that henceforth Leavenworth was I'M
der his immediate jurisdiction, and
just to show that he already knew a
thing or two he sent out and invited
with their presence. When they ar
rived he drew from them that gam
bling houses had been opened here
this week.
Mr.. Jackson had warrants issued for
these places, but when the officers ar
rived the gamblers were not there
They had received a "tip" and closed
up A lawyer is more than suspected
of having notified the gamblers of
what was coming. and proceedings
may be begun in the supreme court to
disbar him from practicing in the
state.
Three joints that Mr.. Jackson or
dered raided were not so fortunate
Their proprietors were arrested, and
their stocks confiscated. Mr.. Jackson
served notice that hereafter it would
not be considered sufficient that a
jointkeeper be fined and given Jail
sentence with the understanding that
a stay of execution be given on the
Jail sentence.

Louisville, KY, Nov 16.-F'ive
buildings of the Indiana state reforma-
tory and nearly the entire plant of the
Indiana Manufacturing company at

work of the firemen.

hard the Missourians laid low the To-
peka runners. One of the prettiest
safety plays of the season was made
when Smiley for the locals broke away
on a forward pass and started down
the field for a touchdown. He had
succeeded in lodging all of the st. Joe
ready for the spring the little Mis-
sourian waited for the speedy Smiley.
With interference on all sides and
coming like a flash Smiley failed to
get by the little safety and diving
through the interference he downed
the slippery local within a few yards
of the goal posts.
All of the Topeka touchdowns were
indirect results of forward passes and
they were made by Blinn and Kutz.
A few forward passes combined with
two or three line bucks helped here
and there by long punt, constituted
the touchdown machine of the Topeka
highs.
A fair crowd of Topeka rooters were
out to the game and the yelling was
good. No one was seriously hurt in
the game and near the end of the sec
ond half a number of substitutes were
given a chance to make heroes of
themselves. The officials were sat it's

TRIED TO FORCE 1T
Thought System Would Soon Tolerate
Coffee.

A Boston lady tried to convince
herself that she could get used to
coffee. and finally found it was the
stronger She writes:
when child. being delicate and
nervous, l was not allowed coffee. But
since reaching womanhood l began its
use. and as the habit grew on me,
frequently endeavored to break my
self of it, because of its evident bad
effects.
with me the most noticeable effect
of drinking coffee was palpitation o1
the heart. This was at times truly
alarming. and my face would flush
uncomfortably and maintain it's vivic
hue for some time.
Il argued that my system would
soon accustom itself to coffee, an6
continued to use it, although | had
suspicion that it was affecting my
oversight, also. The kidneys early
showed effects of coffee, as l found by
leaving it off for few days, when the
trouble abated. 4,
Finally a friend called my atten-
ton to Postum. At first l did not like
it, but when made right-boiled IL
minutes until dark and rich-I soor
found Postum was just what
wanted. No flushing of the face, nc
palpitation, no discomfort or incon-
venience after drinking 1t.
"Of course all this was not felt In
week or two weeks. but within tina,
time I can truthfully say marked
difference had taken place and a great
deal Of my nervousness had vanished
lat present time my health is ex-
cellent. due to continued use OF
Postum. with a general observance Of
proper hygiene. OF nothing am
more convinced than that If l had
continued drinking coffee, l should DC
TODAY little less than a nervous wreck
and possibly blind"
