ANTI-LIQUoR Law SAVED HIM.
Topeka Druggist Failed to Collect
From His Debtor.

Because sales of liquor in Kansas
are illegal, and because the major por-
ton of his Indebtedness at least was
for liquor, jury in the second di-
vision of the district court has return
ed a verdict in favor of the defense in
the case of W. r. Lake, druggist,
AGAINST B. F. Juneau. Lake sued for
about $1,100 of account, alleged to be
due. Evidence in the case showed
item after item in which beer and
various other alcoholics formed the
major part of the charges. Inasmuch
as it was shown that the liquor was
purchased in violation of law the
court instructed the jury that such an
account could not be collected.
Lake also claimed that he advanced
money to Juneau, and also that the
account included many other items
such as perfume. toilet powders, soap,
etc. But the jury decided the defend
ant could not be compelled to pay the
debt.

FOUND THE AUTO.
Believed Missing Taylor Machine Is
Located at Junction City.

An automobile the property of O..
L. Taylor, stolen from in front of the
Methodist church in Topeka last Sun
day night, was located last night at
Junction City, Kan. and a young man
and woman have been arrested, &C
cording to advices received here. The
names of the persons arrested have
not been learned.
Letters in the machine addressed to
Mr.. Taylor, and the published accounts
of the theft enabled the Junction City
officers to identify the machine. There
is thought to be little doubt but that
it is the machine stolen. 1t is likely
the driver will be brought to Topeka
for trial on a charge of larceny.

Feast of Dedication One of
Most Interesting on the
Jewish Calendar.

Chanukkah. or the feast of dedication,

OF holidays in the Jewish calendar, will
began Wednesday evening and last for
eight days.

the feast. which. 1t is declared. is eagerly
looked forward to by the children Of the

A bulletin recently issued by the central
conference of American rabbis relative
to the feast says:
1.-THE historical background of the cele-
bration is found in the fact that In the
year lt5 b. G.. Judas MaccabeUS, one of
the few martial heroes in Jewish history
rededicated to the service Of the one God
the Temple of Jerusalem, after its pollI-
ton by Antiochus Epiphanes. who had set
up in place of Jehovah's altar shrine
to his heather god. Just three years after
this pollution. on the twenty-fifth day of
the month of Kisleb, the temple was re-
claimed and rededicated to the service
of God.
around the festival cluster many
beautiful legends, which have helped to
shape the character of the celebration
One such legend is to the effect that
when the temple was rededicated only a
single cruise of oil was found unpolluted
but through the miraculous Intervention
of God, this oil proved to be sufficient
| for burning for eight successive nights.
and until other oil fitted for the service
might be prepared. For this reason. to

homes in celebration of Chanukkah for

night, two on the second, and so on.
