that she must have morphine, SO he
got out Of bed about $50 o'clock to
get some from drug store, leaving
his wife by herself in the room
He was unable to purchase tho
drug without a prescription and soon
returned to his room. There he found
his wife writhing in agony and cry
ing that she was going to die.
Mr.. Joseph said that he hurried
into the next room and wakened his
wife's brother, Mr.. Miller. Then he
went for DR.. Mikel. In spite OF the
efforts Of the physician Mrs. Joseph
died at 7.3o o'clock.

LECTURE WAS FINE

Owing to the inclemency of the
weather only a small number turn
ed out to hear the lecture OF Sam
Small, on the prohibition ques-
ton. Those who braved the ele-
mnets were well repaid for their
trouble and discomfort.
The noted orator from Georgia
proved all that has been said for
him and a great deal more, and
it is only regretable that those
who know so much about the fail
ure of prohibition in Kansas coul
not have been there and heard
the statements of Mr.. Small, back
ed by proof from such men as
Governor Stubs Of Kansas and
Theodore Roosevelt, to whom
the orator paid glowing tribute.
Mr.. Small covered every argu-
ment against prohibition, and
dwelt at length on the inconsis-
tency of high license and the reg
ulation of saloons, interspersing
his remarks with appropriate wit
and humor that could not fail in
convincing.
