CAN SMOKE CIGARETTES.
The "Anti'' Law Does Not Apply to
Uncle Sans Boys.

Hutchinson. Kan. June 17.-while
the state law with reference to the
sale of cigarettes and cigarette papers
in Kansas specifically provides that
neither the one nor the other shall
be sold, Ill packages of the for
hidden papers have arrived in
Hutchinson. The law cannot pre-
vent persons from having the papers
shipped to them from outside of Kan
sas but in this instance the papers
were purchased within 100 miles of
this city.
The little packages which are at
present locked up in the safe were
bought of the post exchange at Fort
Riley. These post exchanges are es-
tablished and maintained under spec
ial regulations issued by the war de-
partment They take the place of
what was in the past known as the
"canteen.''
While. the sale of beer or other in
toxicating liquors is strictly pro-
hibited, the army regulations do not
provide for any other restriction.
Cigarette papers are therefore, sold
without regard for the state law.

Such Is Message Left by j. E. MARCEL
With His Family

Highland, Kan, June 1.-Two
weeks ago a party of three came
from Kansas City to this city. They
tried to keep their mission quiet. but
it was soon evident that they were
here investigating the validity of
security given to them by ]. E. Mar
cell Endorsed by c. L. MARCEL and
his wife. It was apparent that the
signatures were not genuine.
The next day came another Kan
sas City bank representative with
$500 of somewhat similar security.
1t then developed that J. E. MARCEL
had been in Highland, had babe his
wife and children good bye. and told
them that they would never see him
again. He went to st. Joe that day
and he has never been seen since.
There has been nothing in the
Kansas City papers about the
forgeries. Evidently the bankers who
accepted this security are not proud
of it, and have not given out the in
formation. One representative of a
Kansas City bank who was here esti-
mated the forgeries and debts at from
twenty-five to thirty-fve thousand
dollars.
