One Week of Grace-Then The
Fireworks

The nti-tobacco meeting held
by the NJ. E. Brotherhood on Sun
day afternoon brought out a large
crowd of men and boys and Mr..
Cigarette and tobacco generally
were swatted fore and aft. Rous-
ing speeches were made by At
torneys Griffin, Field and Tincher,
Prof. Major, Col. MacGregor, J. A.
Pepoon, c. D. Rackley, Rev. limbo
den, F. ]. Wadsworth and a Mr..
Shifet of Kansas City who happen
ed to be visiting in the city.
All of the speakers, some of them
tobacco users themselves, were
strongly in favor of enforcing the
law prohibiting the sale of tobacco
to minors and Furnishing minors
for smoking on the streets or in
public places.
County Attorney Field stated
that if the people want the law
enforced he will enforce it but he
said frankly that he would not
bring an action unless the people
who wanted the law enforced, will
stand behind him; and he expected
them to demonstrate their good
faith by swearing to complaint
and also by taking the witness
stand and testifying against the
boys and the merchants.
After the flow of eloquence sub
sided City Attorney Tincher intro
duced an oral resolution substan-
TALLY as follows:
Resolved that we are in favor
of enforcing the anti tobacco law
now on the statute books, and that
we will assist the prosecuting au-
thorities in such enforcement by
swearing to complaints and testify
ing in every case wherein we OBJ
serve its violation, either by mer-
chants or by boys under 2I years
of age, within one week after this
resolution shall be published"
The resolution was adopted by
a rising vote. A large majority of
the audience voted in the affirma-
tive, two voted in the negative and
probably one fourth of the congre-
CATION did not vote at all.
This means that after one week
from today all boys who smoke in
public will be arrested, and all
merchants who sell tobacco to
minors or cigarette papers to any
body, will be arrested, if the large
number of men who voted on this
question are truthful about it.
The minimum penalty for boys
IS a fine of $40, and for merchants
who sell the weed to boys, SIS.

Omnibus Wreck

]. c. Aubley, the omnibus driver,
came very near meeting with bad
accident Monday afternoon.
When he was making the trip for
the outgoing $3.50 train the first
crossing was blocked by the freight
and as the passenger was about
due to leave, Mr.. Aubly crossed
the track at the rear Of the train.
Just before the hind wheels crossed
the second rail, the train backed
and struck the wheel of the bus and
crushed it, and the bus was par
tally tipped over, throwing Mr..
Aubley and G. E.Osborn, who was
riding on the top with him, to the
ground, but neither was injured.
]. N. Tincher of this city and
VIM. Gesner of Kiowa were in the
bus. They scrambled out as soon
os possible and while they were
very much shaken up, they were
not hurt. Mr.. Gesner went
through it all right but Mr.. finch
er came very near having nervous
prostration. He admitted that he
was never scared SO much since he
was small boy. He recovered in
time to continue on his journey.
Those who saw the wreck say it
was clearly the fault of the freight
crew. The crossing should not
have been blocked, but since it
was blocked, the train should not
have been put in motion while the
bus was crossing. Mr.. Aubley is
entirely blameless.

side of Mr. Greever's residence and
lots, at the side of the walk. The
cutting was done with a sharp
knife and by person with consid-
cradle strength. The destroyed
tree was cut with a single stroke
and it was done deliberately. 1t
was about six feet tall and the
place where it was cut, about the
size of an ordinary fork handle.
Our people may be divided on
some propositions, but on the ques-
tion of tree destruction they are all
united. 1t will not be healthy for
the person caught destroying trees.

ga Real Good One"

Blondin's Big Show, under can
vas, offering grand novelty "The
Cowboy, Indian and the Lady"
It's the newest play from a writer
of real successes. 1t is a genuine
western comedy with a plot Of
much historic interest. The scenes
are western and true to life, with
an unusual amount of pathos and
a raft of comedy by the Chinaman
and negro character of the most
amusing sort, with a distinguished
quality of naturalness that pleases
both old and Young alike. The
show as whole is entertaining,
instructive and strictly moral, not
founded on dime novel lines and
nothing better could be asked for,

The Stubbs-Curtis "Scrap"
From The Wichita Beacon. October lst.

Ex Senator Chester I. Long de-
clared that he could see no way in
which Governor Stubs can iusti.
fy the million dollar increase in
state appropriations by the last
Legislature, or the decided increase
in taxes at time when the people
had been led to expect that they
were under a reform administra-
ton.
This opinion was exposed by
Mr.. Long, who was in the city a
short time this morning on his way
home from Topeka. The ex- -sena
tor stated emphatically that he
was not taking a particular inter
est in the scrap going on between
the governor and Senator Curtis.
at would be discourteous,
think, to express opinions on the
controversy between Governor
Stubs and Senator Curtis" said
he. at is a fight between a dis
tinguished gentleman new in the
United States senate and another
distinguished gentleman who is
said TO be aspiring to the place.
"The governor seems to be hav-
ing quite time trying to Justify
the course of his administration in
the matter of state expenditures
and taxes, thing which | do not
consider justi6able, particularly by
an administration which the peo-
pie were told was to be reform
administration. l do not wish to
make any statements concerning
the trouble"

Four Lecture Course Attractions


The Monday Afternoon Club has
taken charge of the lecture course

ing when the "Orphean Musical
Club" will furnish the entertain
ment.

country and sing to crowded
house everywhere they go.
Feb. 24th "The Floyd Com

that has ever been given here but
the season tickets will be one price,

District Court Next Monday

The October term of the district
court of Barber county will begin
next Monday, the nth. There are
twelve criminal and ninety civil
cases on the docket, which is con.
siderably heavier than the docket
usually is. The criminal cases are
as follows
State VS.. D. NJ. Circle.
:" Joe HargiS.

Ray Foster and W. Fl,
Robertson.
" Ed Harding.
g w. B. Shelton.
. Frank Heron.
" S. Kociell, q cases.
. M. J. Lane.
" Geo. Carey and Chas.
Chamberlain.
" Hode Hall.
One of the big suits on the civil
docket, Presnall VS.. PresnaIl, has
been settled, and will be dismissed.
This was a case in which L. M.
PIesnall brought suit against his
son, Joel Presnall, to set aside a
deed to some land which was Civ
en- to the son by the father prior
to the fathers marriage. By the
terms of settlement the son has
recently quit claimed to the father.
The conveyance includes the north
west quarter of 35-33-Io, and one
block and eleven lots in the city
of Hazelton. The consideration
mentioned in the deed is $500,
the grantor, ofcourse, assuming all
encumbrances, which are known
to be at least $4,000. This is
another case in which the attorneys
will probably fare better than the
litigants.
The petit jurors for the term are:
E. J. Grigsby, Sharon.
j. A. Redman, Kiowa.
G. r. Harris, Medicine Lodge.
