FIGHT ON LIQUOR.
New Campaign Be Started by
Hosts OF Temperance.
State Convention in Topeka Oct.
5 and 8.

Action will be taken along the line
of interstate commerce laws to prevent
the shipping of liquor into prohibition
territory when the Kansas State Tenn
perance union convenes in annual ses-
sion at the First Baptist church Octo-
ber So.
That statement was made today by
Superintendent Fred M. Stahl, whose
report which Will be read before the
convention will be one dealing with the
progress of the organization work dur
ing the past year. The field will be gone
over, and reports will be made dealing
with the progress not only In Kansas,
but in the United States, and the world.
The six regular field men will also
have something to say relative to their
work. bringing out points in the gen.
eral situation so far as law enforce
ment is concerned. The reports will be
made in detail.
.4ccording to Mr.. Stahl, one of the
most interesting parts of the program
will be a resume of the position which
Kansas holds in the liquor fight. Not
only has literature dealing with con-
ditions been sent out from here to
other states, but to the old world as
well. In fact Mr.. Stahl is authority for
the statement that Kansas is the home
of the liquor fight.
tThe speakers will be men from home
who have been personally fighting for
the cause" said Mr.. Stahl today re-
ferring to the convention, .far1d, they
are men who know with regard to tfat
with which they have to deal"

PRAISE THE Law.
Arcadia Bank Strongly in Favor of
Guaranty of Deposits.

Bank Commissioner Joseph N. Dol
ley has received a letter from the
cashier of the Home State bank of
Arcadia in which the workings and
the sentiment of the new bank guaran-
ty law is praised and the effects cited.
The letter reads as follows:
'I see by the newspaper that the
suit has started in the United States
circuit court for the purpose of testing
the guaranty law. 1 wish to say if you
need any financial assistance from this
bank for the purpose of upholding the
guaranty law, you can get it. Fight
them to a finish.
'I can get 80 per cent of our de-
positors to sign a petition favoring the
guaranty law. They are all in favor
of it and think it is a good thing,
which it is. 1 had a man come in our
bank one day last week and get a
check cashed, and when I cashed it I
handed him a little folder explaining
the guaranty law, and he glanced at
it and saw what it was and turned
around and asked if we were under
the guaranty law, and told him that
we were, and he said that he would
just leave some money with us, which
he did, making a nice little deposit,
and went away perfectly satisfied. We
have had several cases similar to this.
The guaranty law is doing us good
every day, and also the community"
"This is a sample of the real truth
about the bank guaranty law said
the bank commissioner.

most absorbing description of adven-
ture ever written 1t is fully illus
trated by pictures made from authentic

DR.. Cook followed plans that were
original with him. and with a daring
that has never been surpassed, accom-
piishing one of the greatest features
of odern times.
From tho standpoint of science, hu-
man interest, and intense realism, this
il one of the greatest stories that has
ever been written.
1t is DR.. CooKa-s. full story:
graphic and absorbing g personal narra-
tive of the dangerous and. interesting
details of the first successful ex-

This great story was written last

sas newspaper to print it.

PEARY's ARRIVAL.

this morning at the moment when
Commander Robert E. Peary stepped
from train in the Grand Central sta

trip to the North Pole, to participate
in the Hudson-Fulton naval parade up
the Hudson river.

Peary arrived at 7:15 a. M He was
accompanied by Mrs. Peary.
The hour of their arrival was so
early that few persons were at the
station to greet them. They were
warmly greeted. however. by Herbert
L. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary
Arctic club. A group of newspaper
men also. was gathered on the plat
form, and they crowded around the
commander and questioned him about
his trip to the far north. With the
laughing remark that he was too hun

woman was arrested last night follow
ing an assault upon Thomas Hughes,
aged about 25, a painter, who came
here from Chanute, Kan, arriving in
Topeka about o'clock last night. The
affair occurred near Third and Jeffer-
son streets.
Immediately after his arrival here,
Hughes went to the Midland hotel
for board. Having lived in Wales,
coming to this country only a short
time ago, he did not realize the fact
that the rates asked were not exorbit-
ant. There he had rented home for
$25 a year, he said today, and al
though respectfully dressed said that
his clothes had cost him only six dol
lars for the suit.
With this in view when asked that
rate for board he demurred. Passing
out into the street again he accosted
the colored women, who told him to
follow them and they would direct him
to rooming house. Soon a dark al
ley was reached There he was at
women who are notorious, running
down the street rapidly. He started
after them crwfng out for help. Then

Then he was slugged with brick, his
stiff hat cut by the force of the mis-
sile, and an ugly cash inflicted on his
forehead.

partment from fire station No. 3, and
department authorities arrested Laura
