(Continued from Page One.) City, Kansas, Mr. Trickett's home Out of one hundred thousand population, there was an unusually large foreign element and slum district; the larger town of Kansas City, Mo., under the laws of another state, was in close proximity; the county and city officers were against prohibition. Action was begun under the Kansas statute that a place where Intoxicating liquors are sold or kept for sale is a public nuisance. Writs of abatement were issued and saloon fixtures destroyed. They were replaced by others. Court issued injunctions against saloons. Injunction was disregarded. Brewers of Kansas City, Mo. owned the saloons and could afford to pay fines and keep up business. The highest court of the county was asked to call the sheriff and send him to take possession of the premises disobeying the order of the court, place locks on them and bring persons violating the order before the court. Sheriff placed padlocks on all doors of seventy saloons out of more than two hundred. Most of the others began to get ready to move. Some of the locked out pulled the locks off their saloons. They were arrester, fined five hundred* dollars and ■given six months in jail, on each count. The board of county commissioners released the first man pat in jail and said they would release all the others: that they would not feed every man put there for selling intoxicating liquors. Next day all the members of the board had to give bond to get out of jail. Attorneys were employed to defend them, but found that a decision of the Supreme Court gave the local judge the right to prescribe the penalty for violating his orders. A probate judge then arranged to have saloon keepers released on writ of habeas corpus. Before he released the fourth suit was filed in the supreme court of Kansas to oust him from office. A suit was also filed In the count} charging him with aiding prisoners to escape. Like the commissioners, he plead guilty to this and k;>id he was ignorant of the law. He was perpetually enjoined from releasing any prisoner under arrest for selling liquor. The mayor, chief of police, captain of police and county attorney were put out of office and the mayor was fined a thousand dollars. There are now no saloons, no gambling places and no infamous resorts in Kansas City, Kansas. Perpetual injunctions against buildings and citizens prevent infringement of law. The saloon keepers have been bonded in large sums not to sell liquor again in the county. Those who have been tried are out on suspended sentences and many who have been condemned to fine and imprisonment with ten days stay of sentence, have ban’isheJ themselves. Other cit'es in Kansas have taken this temperance plan. Sixteen months of prohibition show great decrease of crime and immorality and most wonderful growth in business and population. The speaker had government and state statistics and letters from bankers and other business men of his state to show the truly astonishing prosperity under prohibition and the enormous decrease in state expnese for criminals and objects of charity. Kansas City before prohibition was trying to get money enough to build a new jail. It now has no use for the space It has. Poor prohibition Kansas has more money in bank than rich license Illinois, and more deposits. Kansas is the banner state for Increase of building during the year from July
1, 1906.
Miss Webb’s report showed that the party In power in state and nation can always have prohibition If It wishes: and much depends on the choice of the state attorney. The address was frequently applauded. The W. C. T. U. elected the following legislative committee: Miss Minnette T. Taylor, president Greencastle W. C. T U.; Mrs. Doll, Mrs. Ranney, Mrs. Hamrick, Mrs. Trueblood, Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Riley. Superintendent Thomas was voted thanks for the use of the room. City and county people interested in temiwrance are invited to attend the
meetings.

A LOST SWORD’. I; Wva Frederick the G'eat's and W«e Confiscated by Napoieon. Wh Prussia was at his feet after the battle of Jeua. Bonaparte visited Potsdam, aud there be saw the sword of Frederick the Great. He took possession of it. saying. “I value this more than all the tr.*:i-uu*s of Prussia." it "as dejsisited at the luvatides on May 17. lso7. with military pomp aud ceremony, to the immense gratlficatioB of the people of 1‘a. is. Rut there came the black days of 1814. aud with the allies ou the point of entering the French capital the governor of the Invalides. Marshal Serrurier. received orders to take steps for the preservation of the precious trophies there collected, especially the sword of Frederick the Great. Interpreting this instruction In a peculiar fashion, the governor took effective measures for preventing them from falling into the hands of the enemy by making a bonfire of them, and it was said that be threw Frederick's sword
into the fl*nies.-
Tlds statement was confirmed as late as 1837 by an eyewitness. Thus perished. ns was attested in 1S30. when an official Inquiry "' ils niade into the matter, between 1.300 and 1.C00 war flags and other memorials of victory. The ashes and remains, were thrown into tlie Seine at ttie mouth of a sewer. The sword could not, of course, have been destroyed In the conflagration, but It was never seen again. It happened that in 1813 au engineer, having ascertained the precise spot where the debris from the fire bad been put into the river, made a search and recovered from the iKJttmu a considerable numl>or of bronze aud copper articles which were returned to the Invalides. But the sword of Frederick was not found. One would like to think that it was not the fate of this historic weapon to rust away In foul mud. hut that It had undergone the noble transformation of being tuv c ! into soiiie implement of peaceful Industry. Of this, however, there is no evidence.— Ixmdon News

A Last Warner That Mioht Perhaps Have Been Won. When it _• ! as far as the cigars at an informal supper the other night, at which the managi r of one of Hie most talked of New York hotels was the host, the talk turned on the perfection of modern hotel management. The manager (masted of the fact that in Ids house at least the clerks were paragons of memory and cleverness. “Y'et I will Let the cigars," said one of the guests, “that exactly at midnight when the clerks change I. having no room here, can walk to the desk, ask for the key ■ f a certain room, giving the number, and get it.” “Done," said the manager. Exactly at 12 the man making the bet entered the lobby ns if he had just come from the street This dialogue followed at tin? desk: “My key, please No. 7G.” “Yes. sir; what name?” “Mr. Johnsop.” “Y'es, Mr. Johnson.” The clerk turm d hack to the desk as if to reach the key from the rack. For a moment, he was out of sight of “Mr. Johnson.” Then to “Mr. Johnson's” dismay lie was quietly seized by two men, who seemed to come up from the floor on either side of him and who asked him very politely, but with tinnuess, to leave tin* hotel at once. It was then that the manager appeared from behind a pillar and explained. A few moments later, when they were smoking the cigars, the chagrined loser said - “Well, that’s a wonderful thing. How the deuce do they remember everybody they see?" “Easy enough," said the manager, “and then in this particular case there Isn’t a room in the house numbered below 100.” The loser bought more cigars without being asked —New Y'ork Times.
The Biter Bit. An old Lowlander bad been persistently asked by bis sou. who was doing very well hi London, to pay him a visit Having at length decided to comply, he spent a fortnight in the metropolis and duly returned north to tell tlie tale. A pompous person invited him to his house soon after the old man's return, with a view to having some amusement at the latter’s expense. "And w hat w as It that most impressed you In the great city?” asked the pompous gentleman. “Weel, sir," quoth the old fellow, “the thing abune a’ that impressed me maist was my nln Insigneeficnnce. 'Deed, sir, I wad strongly advise ye to gang—It wad dae ye a vast deal o’ guid, sir!”— Dundee Advertiser.
