RELIC OF DAYS OF LONG AGO
Whisky Flask Will Be Exhibited In
Memorial Building.

A relic of the days when Kansas
was constitutionally dry but actually
somewhat moist, is to be added to the
collection of the State Historical So
ciety in the Memorial building here.
1t is a particularly interesting whisky
flask just unearthed near Moscow.
Stevens county, and sent to Richard j.
Hopkins, attorney general. by Charles
E. Dudley, of Moscow, representative
from the 124th district.
Blown in the glass of the flask is
the name of a drug store at Garden
City long since out of business.
"Charm, a Fine Old Fashion Kentucky
Whisky" is the label. All indications,
according to Attorney General Hop
kins, whose home is in Garden City, is
that this whisky was manufactured
and sold by the drug store along in
the eighties, after adoption of the pro-
hibition amendment to the state con-
stitution in 1880.
Representative Dudley states the
bottle probably swas thrown away by
surveyors or buffalo hunters. 1t was
found on the site of Woodsdale. an ex-
tinct Kansas town, which in the pio-
neer days waged a bitter and bloody
war with Hugoton for the county seat
of Stevens county.
