 friend of the prohihtouists and he was defeated for reelection in 1SS2. Accepting the Prohibition nomination, he went into the campaign with all his yigor and delivered stirring speeches all over the country, espe- eially paying attention 10 New York state where the fight between James c. Blaine and Grover Cleveland had made things very warm. St. John was ont to beat the Republicans, and he succeeded. for the Prohibition vote was large enough to let Cleveland win

Carrie Nation broke into the lime light in the fall of 1900 and made her name Il household word in newspaper offices and most American homes. She was Mrs. David Nation of Medicine Lodge. Kan and a member in good and regular standing ef the W. (. T. U. II is said that her first husband died of delirium tremcns. Anyway, Carrie Nation had another and more apparent incentive to use her hatchet on saloon furniture. And Wield that hatchet she did it's fame temporarily eClipsed that of the Father of His Country.
 Carrie Nations Little Hatchet
 Kansas was legally Il prohibition state. As n matter of fact prohibition was but namS and the saloons of the state were wide open The general plan was to fine n saloon S25 month for breaking the law; that solved the license difficulty. In short, prohibition in Kansas had broken down complete ly in the ten years II had been nom- nally in force and the state anthori- ties had not the courage either to modify the law or enforce it. Carrie Nation took the situation into her own hands
 Carrie Nation first visited kiowa and broke up two saloons with her lit- tie hatchet Then she went to Wichi- ta and broke up two more. She was put in jail kept there for several days

 May Go to Courts.
 There is probability that autiprehi- bition forces will attempt to secure au aunuIment ef the ratification vote in several states and will attaek the le- gaIty of the action of congress. Tn San Francisco court order has been secured restraining Governor Stephens temporarily from signing the ratHea- ton ef the amendment. IL has been stated that similar action may be taken in other states, Including Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Nevada. New Mexico. Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Missouri and Nebraska. In these states. it is declared, all action taken ny the state legislatures may be sub nitted to the people under Il referen- dun.
 The Anti-Saloon league contends that this is impossible, outlining its position in the following statement:
 Article Y of the federal Gonstitu- tton provides that the legislature or q state convention is the only body which can ratify an amendment to the Constitution. Congress is given the power to say which one shall have the authority. Congress had chosen thc state legislatures as the bodies 10 ra i- fy the federal prohibition amendment. A state referendum therefore would be Illegal and void'>'
 Attorneys for the liquor interests claim that there are many points on which the amendment may be attacked in the courts and plans have been made, it is declared, for action along these lines.

SIXTY-THREE "Y
MEN DECORATED

Chicago.-The Y. M G. A. carried
the Red Triangle into the camps and
trenches abroad at a cost of SO lives,
a sacrifice proportionately one-quarter
as great as that in the American army,
according to a statement issued by the
national war work council Of the Y.
M. G.. A. Of these fatalities 80 were
due to disease, and the remainder to
shell-fre, bombs, gas-fever, drowning
and wounds. Ten of these were wom-
en-. one of whom was killed by shell
fire and the others in a German air
raid.
There were also 55 non-fatal cas-
ualties. These were due principally
to machine gun fire, shell fire, and mo-
tor transport accidents. Numerous
cases Of slight wounds and gassings
which were attended at dressing sta"
tons, but were not reported to head
quarters, are not included.
These casualties occurred in force
which at no time exceeded 5000 work
ers, of whom it is reckoned that more
than one-half were never sent to the
front, being employed in the hundreds
of huts maintained throughout the
training areas and the '1eave areas"
Sixty-three ''Y" workers were deco
rated, while in all more than 152 re-
ceived official recognition for distin-
guished service. Thirteen of these
were decorated with the Croix de
Guerre, while 48 received other deco
rations. Of these, three received the
Distinguished Service Cross, three
the Order of st. Stanislaus, five the
Italian Cavaliere del Corona, SO the
Italian War Cross, and one ! the
French decoration of the Corps
d'Armee. Seven were cited for the
Croix de Guerre, and seven for other
decorations, six commended for merit
orious conduct, and twenty-nine re-
ceived honorable mention in dis
patches. Several units were cited in
their entirety, those serving with the
Third division being cited twice. More
than score more reported decorations
have not yet been confirmed.

was fit for military duty, but the cita-
tons show that they carried ON with
the same courage and spirit that iden-
titled Americans throughout the war.
These records show that they went
over the top with the assaulting
waves, that they exposed themselves
under machine gun and shell fire to
minister to the wounded, that they
worked indefatigably as stretcher
bearers, and that they drove ambu-
lances into the midst of battle to res
cue the wounded.

County Commissioner
Replies to Attacks Of
Taxpayers League

Continued assaults by the Citi-
zens' and Taxpayers league on the
proposal to advertise bonds to the
extent of $235,000 to restore the
records in the county register Of
deeds office brought an explanation
from County Commissioner O'Con-
nor yesterday.
"The Citizens and Taxpayers
league says il will replace these
records for $200,00O," said Mr..
O'Connor. "But the county, doing
the work by the day may replace
them for much less than 100000.
THE $235,000 bonds being adver-
tised for this purpose need not be
issued if the work costs less. In
fact they will be issued just as fast
as the need arises. When we get
the work done we may still have
$4,000 or $4,000 of the bonds left
in the county treasury. We believe
the work will be done for much
less than the $235,000, but we have
to advertise enough bonds to make
sure the work can be completed. We
have to issue only as many as it
actually requires to do the work"
Three shifts of copyists are being
employed and a schedule has been
arranged of the number of instru-
ments that each must copy for a
DAVIS work. County commissioners
believe the work will be done for
less than 100000.

HasseI Buys Interests of
Petros in Woodrow Cafes

John Dick Hassel, one of the pro-
pjrietors of the Woodrow cafes at
2l4 South Fourteenth street and 1871
Farnam streets, announced yester-
day that he had purchased outright
the interests of Louis and George
Petros in the Woodrow cafes and
that he was now sole owner.
Hassel paid $4,000 for the Petros
interests. The Petros brothers have
been associated with Hassel since
the opening of the first Woodr row
cafe on Fourteenth street three
years ago. With the opening of the
new Woodrow on Farnam street it
was decided to dissolve the partner
ship.
