Only Physician and Nurse at Bedside When End Comes. Leavenworth, Kan., Juno 10. Carrlo E. Nation, sixty-six years old, who gained celebrity by her use of a hatchet In the cause of prohibition, died here last night of paresis In tho Evergreen sanitarium. Sho was admitted to the sanitarium January 22 suffering from nervous breakdown. Although it has been reported several times since she came here that she was dead, her death was not expected until several dnys ago. Spends Months In Seclusion. Mrs. Nation In tho sanitarium was Incapable of oven managing her own business affairs, all trace of the bold prohibition worker had disappeared when her Iron constitution began to fall, and sho spent the last five months of her Ufo In seclusion, no one but relatives and hospital attendants being allowed to see her. When told several days ago that she would die, Mrs. Nation made no comment. Only Dr. A. L. Suwalksy and a nurse were with her when death came. Was Born In Kentucky. Mrs. Nation was born in Kentucky In 1S4C. Hor maiden name was Carola Moore, and as a girl, it is said, sho was absolutely fearless. In her early life she married a man addicted to the use of intoxicants, which created in her an Intenso aversion to the saloon. When he died she determined to devote her life to the suppression of the liquor traffic. Later Ehe moved to Kansas and married David Nation, who sympathized with her temperance principles. Mrs. Nation's first saloon smashing was done in the barroom of the Carey hotel at Wichita Decembor 27, 1900. She was arrested and remained in Jail several days before she was released on bond. On January 21, 1901, armed with her favorite weapon, a hntchct, Mrs. Nation made another raid In Wichita. This time she smashed two saloons. During the next two months Mrs. Nation surprised the liquor traffickers in various Kansas towns, appearing unheralded and leaving a trail of ruined barroom fixtures wherever she went. Many saloonists became terror-stricken when the militant temperance advocate appeared in their neighborhood and locked their places and fled before the faithful hatchet could get Into action.

Smashing parties were organized all over the state. The saloon power was being wrecked. As a result of tho agitation bills were passed by tho legislature which strengthened the state prohibitory law. Thus, erratic as her life has been, Mrs. Nation was responsible for the greatest temperance awnkenlng In Kansas. ' Demands Money From Vanderbllts. Mrs. Nation, after her activities In Kansas, became a , lecturer and the editor of a paper called the Smashers' Mail. She did little smashing outside of Kansas. While lecturing In New York city sho created a sensation by appearing at the horse show In Madison Square garden and demanding that tho occupants of the Vnnderbllt box contribute money for a home for drunkards' wives, which she founded In Kansas City, Kan.
