In this way she is reported to have
piled up much evidence for the Law

corning shady hotels who take in any
couple that register as man and wife.
On the strength of her reports the
league sailed along as a reform"
organization. Brazenly they shouted
reform from the housetops while this
woman crept through the streets at
night. 1t was she who gathered the
material for their braying. And in
the end it is claimed they tossed her
aside as immoral"
Alexander Dawson took up the
girls fight when she was discharged.
And he makes an affidavit that the
Rev. Ernest Bell, who breaches Chris
tianity to the hoboes at the Midnight
Mission, once made the remark that
she was a 'crackerjack investigator.
The Law and Order League seems
singularly afraid of this little woman.
So afraid that they held kangaroo
court before they dismissed her. And

Crosse and Withdrew" the letter Of
recommendation. On the same night,
the Rev. Ernest Bell made his alleged
remark to Alexander Dawson ques-
tioning whether the woman in the
case always walked the straight and
narrow way.
Charles French, attorney for the
woman in the case, asked Farwell,
Mulvihin and .Grose to meet Dawson
and the woman at his Office and all
say what they had to say in the pres
ence of stenographers.
According to this stenographic re-
port, which was read by Day Book
reporter today, the first thing the
Rev. Ernest A. Bell did at the meet
ing was to swear that he did not
know of any facts contrary to the
good name and the innocence of this
woman" -~---.-.. s-.-.s-.
No evidence was produced at this
meeting to show that the woman
went wrong. Dawson says nothing
has been shown him that will justify
the dismissal of the woman from the
Law and Order League as an inves-
tigator and also the refusal of the
Citizens league to now employ her.
Among the hot words Dawson
flung at Farwel just before he
slapped Farwell's face were these:
You call yourself a Christian. And
yet you expect perfection from a wo-
man you send out on the streets to
talk with men on the sidewalks at
midnight and go with those men to
hotels?"

Wichita, March ARMED men
are on guard at the Santa Fe, Mis-
souri, Pacific and Midland Valley
station when every train arrives af-
ter dark. A report that gang Of
robbers had planned to loot an e3-
press car reached railway officials
and, while they are inclined to doubt
that the attempt will be made, they
took no chances.
William Galloway, q retired farm
er, overheard two men in a livery
barn, talking about robbing an ex-
press car at the new union station.
He hurried to John Mahaney, sta
ton master at the union depot, and
told what he heard. Maheney called
police officers and armed employees.
H. s. Miller, agent for the Wells
Fargo Express company, stated that
for the next week armed men would
meet every train. He believes that
a gang of robbers has located in
Wichita and is hiding its time.

| G. y. Scott; or course they would
deny HIS right TO lecture them. and
yet we cannot but recommend the
following observations OF J. L.
Brady toNthose Republicans who ar
que that Republican victory Is won
by making the Republican party 50
nearly like other parties that the
voters will not be able 70 tell them
apart: Mr.. Brady says: III this
writer ever gets back TO the Repub-
lican party 1t will be as a Republic
can. II will be after being convinced
that the Republican way is the
right way For that reason we have
no patience with the men who are
trying to continue their straddle.
The Republican party must have a
distinct existence. II will be recall
ed that In the early nineties the Re
publicans tried to swipe the Popu-
lists. Every congressional candidate
was absolved from acting with his
party on economic questions. The
party did not gain vote. After
wards II gathered itself together and
won. There are a few men who
want the party to stand for the
lhings which are right and they
ire having a hard time of 1t. II is
he same old fight. II the Republic
AN party wins II will be because
he voters believe in It as party
md not because II has swallowed
my other party platform. This is
,ood sense and every straddler

bill of goods from the house to
house canvasser. The groceries came
last week. Today the purchaser is
saying things at the groceryman and
himself. He says about half of the
beans were bad and the oatmeal SO
old and musty that 1t was impossi-
BILE to eat 1t. When the order was
taken the representative said If the
goods were not up to standard he
would take them back. But upon
complaint of the customer he, SEEM

the agreement and the gentleman
who was going to slip 1t over on the
"robbing home merchants" now has
some inferior goods on his hands.

HANDLING HANKS WE'LL

The seyery State bank, which
failed In December. when II was dis
covered that President Bidwell had
stocked the bank with bad loans and
Quilted the assets. has been reopened
under the direction OF Bank Com
missioner Charles NJ. Sawyer The
Citizens State bank OF Ellinwood.
which failed week later. is 10 be
reopened next Monday, according to
the present program.
Under HIS policy TO refuse the
appointment OF receivers for banks
In financial difficulty, Sawyer has
"nursed" the two institutions for
nearly three months and provided
for their reopening with bright
business outlook. In the case OF the
Severy bank. the stockholders voted
to demand a receiver and threw up
their hands when they learned the
true condition OF their institution.
Instead OF naming a receiver. the
banking department sent an exam
liner to the town to take charge OF
the business and the bank reopened.
The Severy bank starts business
with a $4,000 capitalization. 5000
surplus and $4,000 in deposits. NJ.
A. Thompson of Blue Rapids, who
has been in charge OF the bank, will
remain with the institution for sew
eral days until the details for the
reopening are fully worked out. NJ.
8. Reed is, cashier OF the reorganiz-
cd bank, which has for Its stock
holders some of the most prominent
business men and farmers in the
county.
Next Monday the Ellinwood bank
will reopen with capitalization OF
I25, 900 and nearly 100000 in de-
,osits. Henry Warren, deputy
,ank commissioner, who has had
barge of the reorganization under a
'awyer's direction, has been elected
o the cashiership of the bank and
gill remain In Ellinwood.
Commissioner Sawyer is doing q
God job. If the same management n
ad prevailed heretofore at least
ne bank In Abilene would not have
uspended and with efficient exam
ration another failure would have !.
cen prevented. A bank commits :,

Internal Machine Blows Sullivan,
ILL.,, Man to Pieces
WIFE HELD, GUILT DOUBTED
Had Instituted Divorce Proceedings,
But Police Believe Her to Be
Blameless-FoIIow An
other Clue

Sullivan, ILL.,, March Fired w.
tMennerich, aged 40 years, was
blown to pieces by an internal maG
chine which he opened in his home.
The package was mailed from,
Decatur, Thursday, and was deliv-
cred Friday morning. Mennerich
suspected that it was an Internal
machine. In the yard outside the
house was found a letter addressed
to Mrs. Donald Mennerich of SPRING
field, in which Mennerich described
the package he had received and
declared that he thought he would
open it.
Mennerich at first refused to re-
ceive the package, which measured
nine inches square by twelve inches
long. 1t was wrapped in brown pa
per and contained a half pound to-
bacco can, with holes in the top.
The label had been replaced after
the can was opened.
He finally took it home and at
tempted to open it. The contents
exploded with terrific force. Fits
eyes and face we're terribly mutt
lated.
One arm was blown off and one
leg was torn away. He recovered
consciousness after being found on
~ long enough to gasp What hap
pened?" He lived nearly two hours.
Inspectors working on the case in
Decatur are believed to have
good clue. A man called the office
Thursday and asked the rate on
package the size mailed to Sullivan
one day last week.
Springfield, Ill, March Mrs.
Donna Mennerich, wife Of the Fied
MennerIch who was killed by an
Internal machine explosion at sulli-
ran was arrested BY the police here
after severe examination.
Il don't believe she had any con-
nection with the sending Of the
explosive" the police chief said.
Suspicion at first pointed to Mrs.
Hennerich because she had had trou-

A TON OF FISH TO
AN ACRE OF WATER


Topeka, March 2.-TA ton Of fish
to an acre of water each years shows
possibilities OF a new and important
industry for Kansas farms. That It
is not impossible is shown by the
report received by Prof. L. L. Dyche,
state fish and game warden, from
the state fish hatchery At Pratt.
where nearly three and one-half
tons Of fish were taken from one
pond. The pond was stocked in
1910 with 700 pounds of young
fish, about 10000 fish, less than =
year old.
When the pond was drained last
week there were 2s.44s fish, weigh
ing e7OO pounda. taken from the
pond. That includes the large fish.
8 ana 4 years old, and down to the
young fish less than one 4ear old.
Five thousand small slnfish were
not weighed, Tkak would bring the
total weight Of the pond product 70
more than 1000 pounds.
