MRS NATION ISSUES A PROCLA-
'mation calling on the
School chilidren to break
THE GLASS DOORS O'F THE BAR-
. .
ROOMS.
Topeka, Qan., Feb. 5. Mrs. Nation
launched her crusade against the
"joints1" at an early hour this morning.
She rose alt 4:30 oclock and soon after
started on a tour of joint smashing'.
Accompanied by Mrs. J. P. White and
(Miss Madaline Southard sh$ attempted
to enter the place at 830 Kansas ave
nue. The man on duty a't that early
hour was taken unawares but managed
tfo disarm Mrs. Nation and bolted the
door 'before any of the party could en
ter. Mrs. Nation said her friends
'Cau'gh't hold of her arms and prevented
her going- through the window. The
next place visited was "The Senate",
at 406 Kansan avenue. The women en
tered without resistance, but a 'colored
man quickly siezed Mrs. Nation and
took her hatchet away. Somehow in
the scuffle she was struck on the right
temple with the hatchet but the blow
did not disable her and she at once
seized the hatchet carried by Mrs.
White. She turned over two large slot
machines and smashed ttte glass front
of each . She soon made a wreck of the
large refrigerator and after that turn
ed her attention to the liquor and fix
tures behind the bar. A keg of beer
came in the way of iher hatchet and
the contents completely drenched the
skirts of 'Mrs. (Nation.
At this juncture the colored porter
fired his "revolver at the ceiling to
frighten the crusaders and1 attracted
attention! from, the outside. Policeman
Graham was atracted to the place by
a noise ar.d escorted Mrs. Nation to
the police station. Here Mrs. Nation
and her little band of followers held a
short praise service and lectured those
lin charge at 'the 'time.
The Senate saloon which was wrecked
was one of the handsomest and most
complete in its equipment of any in the
city. It was filled up with handsbme
cherry bar and and Ithe great mirror
which hung on the north side, was val
ued at $500. Probably $1,500 worth of
property, mostly made up of cherry bar
and handsome fixtures were destroyed.
Mrs. Nation was released at the po
lice station after a short trial. She im
mediately began) another round of the
joints.
At the police station Mrs. Nation
was booked as "Joint-smasher." The
others were released. Her case was
continued till Thursday without bond,
the charge prefered being that of in
stitutin riot. The case against Mrs.
Nation for attempting to smash the
Union saloon on East iSixth .street, yes
terday afternoon, was dismissed.
Ms. Nation today issued the follow
ing proclamation to the school children
of Tiopeka:
"My precious little children: I send
you greeting and ask you to help me
destroy that which is on the streets
and protected by the police anid city
officials to destroy my darlings. I want
every one oaf you little ones to grab
up a rock and smash up the glass doors
and windows of these bell -holes. You
will do your duty and enroll your names
on the pages of undying fame and place
yourself on the side of God and human
ity. Tour loving friend,
"CARRIE NATION."

FLOWERY KINGDOM
THE "COMMONER" UPHOLDS
HEW YORK'S MAYOR
Defends His Action in. Not Lowering
Flag at Queen's Death.
Lincoln, Feb. 5. Bryan, in today's
Commoner, upholds the action of the
mayor of New York in failing to lower
flajg on the death of Queen Victoria.
He says the mayor presented a com
plete defense when he cited the failure
to pay such a tribute to Jwubert as a
precedent. He adds: "If the flag on a
public building does not pay tribute to
the memory of a hero who died in free,
dom'a holy cause then it is not ex
tremely important that the flag be re
quired to pay (tribute to kings and
queens."
He advocates the 'fulfilment of
the pledges made in the congressional
resolution regarding Cuba.

Amendment Requiring Cadets to Tako
0afh to Eefrain From Hazing.

at 11 o'clock today. A bill authorizing
the Mount Carmel Development com
pany to draw water frloim the Wabash
river at Grand Rapids, Iil., was passed
Mr. Chandler, of New Hampshire,
presented the credentials of his suc
cessor Mr. Henry E. Burnham.
The chair appointed Messrs. Hanna,
Spooner and Jones of Arkansas, mem
bers of the joint committee on inaug
uration, and Messrs. 'Chandler and
Caffery as tellers of the vote for presi
dent and vice-president when the elec
toral vote is counted.
Mr. Teller called up and spoke upon
his resolution calling uplon the secre
tary of war for information concerning
the reports of the deportation of Geo.
T. Rice, editor lof a Manila newspaper,
to the United States by the general in
charge of the American forces in the
Philippines. He read the press reports
concerning 'Mr. Rice's case, saying that
he did not wonder that he was defiant,
knowing 'there was no law justifying
his expulsion.. Mr. Teller said he did
not know whether Rice's paper had
been suppressed, but he had been cred
ibly informed that four newspapers had
been suppressed in Luzon by the mili
tary authorities.
Mr. Teller spoke of the proceeding as
one of importance to all, for Mr. Rice
was a citizen of the United States, and
an offense against him was an -offense
against every other citizen of the coun
try.

and the District of Columbia appropri
ation bill was taken up .
