IS. Mrs. Carrie Nation, In a letter to the editor of Leslie's Weekly, says: "A saloon has no right in any place. I will smash the saloons in New York, Mllwaukeke. St. Louis, and Chicago, Just as in Kansas. But I must clean up my own home before I dare say to my neighbor, 'I can tell you how to clean yours.' He commits all the Fins of the decalogue who sells a glass of rum. The motive which lead3 him to put thi3 stumbling block in the way of hla brother Is inspired by a spirit which violates all law. The time for the saloon to go has come. We are organizing an army of home defenders which demands that the murder shop close or be closed by law. Otherwise we destroy this destroyer by means of anything which will smash. This 1j a severe word, but nothing can conrey that thought so forcefully as tho results. This army of home defenders is doing Just what Israel did. as recorded In II Chron. xxxl. 1. We attack nothing but that which is dangerous to humanity and heaven. This Is not one of the greatest warfares not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against ljdrltual wickedness in high places. We purpose to organize an army of true mothers who are physically able and willing to Join in a crusade to drive out the murder shops by destroying their Instruments. We 1o not desire or intend to injure the person Df any one. We In self defence go out from our home to the rescue of children who are the victims of this trade." Notes of the Crusader. The druggists of Hutchinson, Kan., have decided to discontinue handling Intoxicants. A mass meeting at "Wellington, Kan., attended by one thousand people, issued an ultimatum giving the "Jointlsts" until Friday next to remove their goods and uxtuits. At Herington, Kan., a mas3 meeting of temperance people adopted resolutions warning saloon keepers to remove their fixtures from town by Tuesday at 2 o'clock or suffer a raid. The "Second Regiment of Carrie Nation Home Defenders" .has been organized at Arkansas CJty, Ark. The "Jolntists" have ben given until Friday next to remove their fixtures and goods from the city. The Women's Christian Temperance i mon, oi .Milwaukee, yesterday unanimously Vadopted resolutions upholding Mrs. Nation !n tA wnrk nf Mnln smuhlnw" If Mrs. Nation goes to Milwaukee, the W. C. T. U. will rent the biggest hall in the vny lor ner io speaK in. A printed circular signed "Determined Women. " was issued at Winfleld, Kan., yesterday warning the Commercial Club to cease "holding a liquor carnival," or the building would be demolished. -The saloon keepers stored their goods at their houses and say they will defend their property with their lives. Mr-?. Ciara C. Hoffman, of Kansas City, president of the Missouri W. C. T. U. and recording secretary of the National Union. In an address at Chicago mildly criticised the methods pursued by Carrie Nation in Kansas. She said: "Frances Willard was an optimist. She was so gentli that the destruction of property never occurred to her. If liquor was to have been poured into streets, as in Kansa3 City a few weeks go. it would have been done solely by tho order of the owner had Frances Willard bad charge of things."

No Medial Verdict Is Wanted In the lllnknrd Murder Case. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH. Ind., Feb. lS.-For the first time since the beginning of his trial John Rlnkard, the Marlon wife murderer, to-day-betrayed nervousness and excitement under the excoriation of the attorneys for the State. Prosecutor Amsden, of Marion, opened his address this afternoon with the language of the verdict he desired the Jury to return. He asked that It find Rlnkard guilty of murder In the first degree, and that the death penalty be Inflicted. He then reviewed the life of Rlnkard from the time of his marriage until after the murder, and his references to savagery which marked his domestic career deeply affected the crowd in the courtroom. I concluding his address Prosecutor Amsden made a highly dramatic exhibit of Rinkard's clothing, worn on the day of the murder, and of the heart, containing the bullet hole. The speeches of Mr. Peterson, of . Decatur, and Mr. Kersey, of Marlon, for the prisoner this morning were impassioned pleas for acquittal. Doth lawyers declared that there wa3 no intermediate punishmentthat if the Jury found Itinkard guilty they must hang him, while if insane he should be acquitted and committed to an insane hospital. Thl3 position was regarded as remarkable by outside lawyers, and If the Jury concludes to hang Rlnkard the impression is that It will be because the attorneys refused to demand life imprisonment. Mr. Kersey spoke two hours and Mr. Peterson an hour and a half. This afternoon Prosecutor Amsden made his argument. He closed soon after 3 o'clock, and a brief recess was taken. At 3:40 Judge Shively began reading his charge, which consumed forty minutes. It covered the law points in the case fully, and instructed the Jury in the consideration of the question of insanity. The jury retired at 4:10. and It is not thought likely the verdict will be reached to-night. INDIANA OBITUARY. Judge W. C. L. Taylor, Jurist and CItII Wnr Veteran. Special to the Indianapoll Journal.

I stated last week that I regarded soap as a medicine that it either benefited or injured the whole system; that the pores of the bodr the system more or less of the'soap. I endeavored to show how important it is to avoid poisonous fats and strong- alkalies. I wish to
phasize this point to-day, and call special attention to the virtues of Wit'h Hazel as Nature's greatest remedy for the skin. That the publi has found out the truth of this is shown by the hundreds of testimonials I have already received commending- my Witch Hazel Soan. I had n
idea that the demand for it would be so instantaneous so large. Orders are coming in from every part of the country, and our factories are taxed to their utmost capacity to fill the orders. I feel confident that every cake of soap sold will sell many more. The soap is all that I claim for it. I want the people to have the same faith in it that they have in my remedies. Ten years ago when I told the public I had a Cure for Rheumatism they dtd not believe me. Time has proved the truth of my statement. To-day, when the entire countrv is stricken with Grippe, there afe no remedies on the market having so extensive a sale as my Cold and Grippe Cures. They are demanded because the people know from experience, and from the 4say so" of others, that they relieve the Head, Nose, Throat and Lungs almost instantly and so I can refer to my Dyspepsia Cure, my Kidney Cure and all my remedies. My remedies are sold in every drugstore throughout the civilized world, mostly 25 cents each, or Broadway, corner 26th street, New York City. MUNYON.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) Mr. Lynch personally vouches for the accuracy of the facts he relates. He says: "But It is to the Germans that we must award the laurels of outrage In thi campaign. They arrived late for the hunt the man hunt or man, woman and child hunt. There was something particularly coldblooded about their proceedings. They arrived when the country ought to have been t-ettllng down to avenge the murder of their minister and to carry cut the mandate of their Kaiser. After marching into Peking, leaving their path, btalned with the blood of hundreds of lr nocent people who had yjsz ventured to return to their homes, the Germans established a military reign of terror in their section of the city. Kvery day there were executions. One day sixtyeight were shot. They did not hesitate to resort to Oriental methods for the purpose of extracting evidence from their witnesses. Tho treatment of their jrlsoners, a3 I can personally testify from what I saw, was most brutal." Mr. Lynch takes the missionaries to task for their looting. Further on he says: "The policy of tne United States throughcut this whole Chinese business has to my inlnd been altogether admirable. I recollect talking with Genaral Chaffee the day after the relief. He said to me: 'We had to come right up to relieve these people in the legations, and now the roonc-r we can get cut end go back home tho better pleased I fhal! be.' This appears to me the right policy not alone for the United States, but lor all the rest of the powers." Mr. Lynch thinks the Chinese spirit of rebellion is still very active and will be revived in the spring.
