MRS. NATION VISITS CHICAGO.

Finds Her Husband's Grandson Is Proprietor of a Whisky t-hop. Mrs. Carrie Nation reached Chicago Tuesday night, nnd before 2 in the morning had made a whirlwind circuit around the city that taxed the speed and ingenuity of many who followed to keep up with her. Inside of five hours the nottnl saloon smasher found time to make a lengthy speech in Willard Hull, go to her hotel nnd retire, rise again, visit ten resorts in South State street and talk with the proprietors and bartenders and visit the ball of the Cook County Democracy at the First Regiment Armory. This was not all, for during her busy evening she found a long-lost grandson of her husband keeping a saloon under an assumed name, embraced him anil talked /■bout relatives and old times, with sobs nnd prayers of praise. The startling discovery of n relative who made his living out of the hated saloon business was almost too much for Mrs. Nation.
