Experiences of Girl in Topeka
Who Saw Conditions.

Intense suffering is being felt in
Norway because of the European war,
according to Miss Gudrun Walberg.
member of "A Modern Eve company.
which is in Topeka this week Miss
Walberg is of Norwegian birth and was
in Norway at the outbreak of the war
Miss Walberg is Of the opinion that
the nations not actually belligerents are
being harder hit" than those who are
fighting. Times are bad in Norway In
letters received by the little actress,
smallpox has broken out among the SOL
diers modified by the government. The
cost of living has been boosted up to
high figure.
Miss Walberg was born in Chris
America for the past eight years. She
received a good education in Norway
and also in Boston. Last summer she
returned to Norway for visit with
her parents. While there, the Aus
trian archduke was assassinated and
the storm which had been brewing
for some time broke suddenly. Nor
up swiftly. The people of Chris
tiansand could not pay for the food
and within a few days there were hun
dreds of people starving.
C1amor for Food.
A great demonstration was held
against the bakers who were charging
thirty and thirty-five cents for a loaf
of bread. Store fronts were smashed.
Miss Walberg was among those who
turned out to see the desperate men
and women of the city clamor for food.
The police were called, but the crowd
laughed at them. A heavy fire hose
was turned on. the throng without eff
feet Then the soldiers were brought to
the scene and the revolt was quelled-
They were tossing the people who
charged the high prices around like a
football" was the way the actress
put it
Miss Walberg came home on a Dan
ish line steamship. Before boarding
the boat she could obtain no accom-
modations. She bought her ticket for
America Once on board the ship, she
was n the same position as scores OF
other persons, no place to sleep.
Making a wooden bench her stateroom
and crackers and water her meals, she
put in ten days of hardship before coming
in sight of New York.
Gudrun Walberg speaks with a quaint
Norwegian accent. She has reason for
taking an active interest in the struggle
of the little kingdom to keep out of the
grasp of war-severa1 of her near rela-

Drastic Ruling On Shipments Of Liquor.

Circuit Judge Samuel Ltstlepage at
Charleston Tuesday afternoon granted
an Injunction returnable at the Augusta
rules against R. H. Clendennis, the
Adams express company, its agents and
representatives and Edward Beigel, from
delivering to Clendennis a bariel OF beer
shipped by Beigel. representing the
Pabst Brewing company OF Cincinnati,
on the ground that IT was violation of
prohibition laws of West Virginia. Clen-
dennis ordered the beer on blanks mailed
by BeIgel from Cincinnati. The injunc-
ton was asked for by Fred o. Blue
commissioner of prohibition. The in
junction 1.-THE consignee of any such
liqdors to show to the satisfaction of the
Express company its agents, representa-
tives or employees. that he, without solic-
itation from said Beigel, or any of his
agents, representatives or employees,

Beigel, or any of his agents, representa-
tlves or employees, ordered the consgn-
ment of liquors for his personal, Lawful

Begel. or any of his employees, adver-
tisements or letters soliciting orders for

be common nuisance so far as it may
undertake to handle or deliver any
liquors for Beigel. Commissioner Blue
contends that the decision of the supreme
court of Kentucky. of the United States
Supreme Court in acase coming upf from
South Dakota and the Webb. Kenyon law
furnish ground and precedent for the is
suing of the injunction.
1t is not contended that il is violation

orders being placed with the soliciting
company, and shipments made that a
sale has been consummated when the
