terment will be at Fort Scott which
was the home of the Wares for many

Kansas but was probably better known
in Fort. Scott and Topeka than else
where During the years from 1893 to
1907, the family lived in Topeka, and
Mrs Ware wac very active in club
work. She was one of the prominent
members of the Atlantean club and
was interested in other organizations.

Kansas City she has kept in close
touch with club work in Kansas and
last January was elected president or
the Women's Kansas Day club

has been in Topeka making prepara-
tions for the annual meeting of the
Women's Kansas Day club next month.

terial for the benefit of members of
the club. She was in good health and
her Topeka friends were astonished at
the announcement of her death this
morning.

transparent beads and a seductive

came to an abrupt end when the
dancer disappeared through the stage
exit with a coat she had hastily put
on and shoes and stockings as her sole
protection from the cold.
The woman began her exhibition
with an Oriental dance. Then she
walked up to the footlights, lingering
the strings of beads which were
draped around her neck and hips and
said Wont someone help me take
off these beads?"
No one responded, so she removed
the two strands of beads herself. Then
she threw a rose into the audience.

COLORADOSAHARA
Dry as Dust Because Supreme
Court Says So.
Denver and Other Cities Have
Power to Control Drink.

Denver, Dec. 6.-The authority of
Colorado to enact and enforce state
wide prohibition was upheld by the
state supreme court today in a unani-
nous opinion written by Justice w.
H. Gabbert.
The court held that cities governed
under special charter were without
authority to continue traffic in intox-
icating liquors after January /, 1916,
when state wide prohibition becomes
effective in Colorado under constitu-
tional and statutory enactments.
At the request of Governor George
A. Carlson and Mayor w. H. Sharpley
of Denver. the supreme court took
original Jurisdiction in the friendly
suit to secure judicial Interpretation
of Colorado's new prohibition legisla-
ton.
The action sought to enjoin the
Denver city commissioners from issu-
ing a saloon license to August Koch
extending beyond January 1, 1916.
The commissioners, in issuing the
license, based their action on the fact
that Denver is governed under a spe-
cial charter granted by the Iegisla-
ture and at the municipal election
last May the electors adopted a char
ter amendment which sought to give
the municipal officials authority to
continue the sale of intoxicants
The state contended that Denver and
other cities under commission gov
ernment, while they possessed certain
rights in purely municipal matters,
did rot obtain from their charters
authority to conduct their affairs in
contravention of state law.

Stony Stare.

a well known local jeweler, just re-
turned from New York City. brought
with him a few dozen small American
flags to be worn in the buttonhole of
the coat lapel. In New York everyone
was wearing these little flags, SO the
jeweler thought it would be a fine
thing to introduce the fad in Topeka.
But Kansans apparently are not vi
tally interested in the war. The jew
eler has not sold a flag.
I'm New York everyone talks. eats

HOGS IN TUMBLE
Crash in. Swine Prices Before
Unprecedented Droves.
Corn Shortage From Feeding
States Depressing Factor.

Chicago. Dec. 6.-Arrivals of nearly
80, 900 live hogs today at Chicago, said
to be an unprecedented number for
one days shipment 20 one market. led
to stirring scenes at the stock yards
and caused notable declines in prices
for provisions as well as hogs.
The fact that the packing houses
here have of late been using immense
numbers of hogs and have had several
broad avenues of outlet for the manu-
factured product did a good deal TO
cause the flood of receipts.
Corn shortage in Iowa, South Da-
kota, Minnesota and Wisconsin also
was said to have been a material in
fluence.
