CARRIE NATION IN IOWA
Woman Behind tht Hatchet Stops in
Council Bluffs.
ON HER WAY TO THE STATE. CAPITAL
Saloon Wrecker Holds l'rr
Sonic .Hrrvlee nt the Depot
While Wnltliiir for
Her Trnln.
Mrs. Carrie Nation, the woman who broko
Into tho newspapers nnd the Kansas Joints
simultaneously by means of a hatchet,
stopped at the transfer depot In Council
llluffs yesterday on her way from Topeka
to Des Moines, where she lectured last
night.
.Mrs. Nation had been scheduled for Coun
cil llluffs Friday and local members of
temperance societies had begun to make
preparations for her reception. When It
was announced through the press that sho
would be tried In Topeka Saturday for some
of her exuberant demonstrations against
the Joints tho Iowa peoplo did not under
stand the marvelous ubiquity of a Kansas
sensationalist nnd supposed that she would
not bo ablo to reach Council llluffs on
schedule time, so tho preparations were
discontinued.
.o One to Welcome,
When she with her party arrived there
waa no ono to welcome her and bid her
godspeed. The seven persons constituting
tho party wero accompanied by four re
porters. They came In over tho Kansas
City road ut 6 o'clock and Immediately went
into tho waiting room, where, ut the sug
gestion of Mrs. Nation, an Informal pruyer
meeting was held. The members of the
party stood erect while ono of their num
ber read selections from tho bible and oth
ers offered oxtcmporaneous prayer. Then
they went Into the dining room. Several
members of tho pnrty sat nt tho tables, but
Mrs. Nation disdained this ovldcnco of ef
fete civilization nnd occupied n stool nt the
lunch countor with a nondescript aggrega
tion of men, After tho lunch she passed
around through the crowd, patting the men
upon the back and asking them If they wero
serving Ocd or tho devil. The replies sho
received were of various sorts. Some per
sons gave her considerate attention, whllo
others attempted to make sport of her.
These latter persona wero unablo to stand
before the motherlv look of tho agitator
nnd their grins of derision ceased.
Ankii tor Hurt ender.
Her work nt the depot gave her an appe
tite, for in nboitt an hour she took a socond
breakfast, and then another pralso scrvlco
was held, tho principal feature of which
was a new nrrangement of words to the tune
of "John Hrown's flody."
Mrs. Nntlon then asked If there was a,
saloon at tho depot and expressed her In
tention of holding n private prayer meeting
with tho bartender. Sho found no saloon
nnd so continued her exhortations to those
present, asking them to fight tho demon
drink.
At 7:10 o'clock the party left for Des
Moines over the- Uock Island, tho matronly
agitator requesting her hearers as a last
wish to meet her In henven.
As soon as Mrs. Nation and her party
reached the depot Special OfTiccr Qulnn
called up Chlof Alhro over tho telephouo
nnd Ofli"er Cnlhighan was sent to the depot
to watch Mrs. Nation and see that sho did
not start on any ealoon-smashing tour.
Officer Weir was detailed at the local depot
of the Hock Inland, but the services of
nolther wero required. Mrs. Nation had
left her ax In Topeka and her present tour
Is to lecturo and Incidentally renp In n few
dollars for the cause, ns sho terms it, and
not for herself. She hopes to raise $2,000
by her lectures.
When It hecamo known that Mrs. Carrie
Nation, the saloon-smasher, had spent
nearly two hours at the transfer depot con
siderable disappointment was felt by tho
peoplo generally that she had not taken
timo to visit the city. Everyone was anxious
to get a glimpse of the woman and her
famous ax, and had her arrival hero from
Kansas City been announced beforehand,
the early hour would not have deterred hun
dreds from gathering nt the transfer to
tako a look at her and her pnrty. As It
was, outstdo of the few persons wnitlng for
the early morning trains and the omployos
at tho transfer, none saw her or even know
sho was horo until after her departure for
Des Moines.
Thcro vero numbers of funny Jncidonts
during her short stay at tho transfer and
h. 3. Heno, manager of tho hotel, wus tho
victim of one of them.
Lectures n Total Abstainer.
Ono of tho attaches o! tho ticket office
pointed out Mr. Keno to Mrs. Nation and
said what a pity It was that whllo ho wn.
such n "nleo man In every respect, he was
unforlunatoly" Mrs, Nation did not wait
to hear anything further, but nt onco
Jumped to the conclusion that Landlord
llcno was a lit subject for her exhortations
and sho forthwith pounced upon him nnd
read him a lecture on hla ovll ways that
took his broath completely away. Sho ex
horted him to forsako tho devil and on lcav
Ing, whllo bidding everyone In tho depot
goodbyo and promising to meot them in
paradise, sho turned to Landlord Reno nnd,
with a warning finger uplifted towurd him,
said: "I am Indeed sorry for you, ns I am
afraid you will not meet mo In paradise,
unless you forsako sorvlng tho devil." Tho
Joke Is that Mr. Iteno Is n total abstainer
and has been for a number of years.
J. E. Market wns walking about the wait
ing room with a lighted cigar In his mouth,
when Mrs. Nation spotted him. Rushing
over to him, sho gavo him n vigorous tap
on tho shoulder and, ns ho turned round,
said to hlra; "Tako tlrU nasty weed out of
your mouth and throw It away. You ought
to sot a better example," Mr. Markel was
so completely taken by surprise that he ac
tually obeyed the woman's behest and threw
the cigar Into the nearest spittoon, and
then, realizing what ho had done, went over
to Ticket Agent Sayles and tho two had a
good laugh over It.
Among the people In tho waiting room
Mrs. Nation singled out an old Irishman
who wan waiting to go west on a section
Job. Patting him on the shoulder, she
hoped that ho did not ever Indulgn. At first
the man did not quite understand what
Mrs. Nation meant and his looks so indi
cated. Mrs. Nntlon, with her hand still on
the old man's shoulder, much to the latter's
evident ombarrnssment, explained that she
hoped he did not serve the devil by taking
drink. Then It flashed on tho old son of
Hlbernla what the woman meant, and with
a smile that spread all over his rugged
countenance, ho said: "Deform, mum, I
ahlways take n drink when I'm dry, and If
you bo's tho womau who goei round smash
ing saloons with an ax, yet ought to be
ashamed of yerself," This took Mrs, Nation
somewhat by surprise nnd a'l she could say
was "God bless mo!" She then turned her
attention to a group of women and, taking
her blblo from under her arm, read them
a number of verses from It.
"Tn Ferret" Cnse Adjourned.
The Hoard of County Supervisors ad
journed yeatordny morning uutll February
18. It had expected nt this session to take
some Action In regard to tho contract with
F. M. Cunningham, "tax ferret," but
owing to the failure ot Judge Thornelt to
hand down any decision In tho Shinn In
junction case adjourned without doing bo.
Judge Thornell had promised tho board to
render his decision yesterday, but was
prevented from doing so owing to. Illness.
When the board meets, February 18, It
will go into commltteo ot tho whole and
check up tho accounts of all the county
officers. This is nt tho request of the
county officers themselves.
Tho only business transacted by tho
board yesterday morning wns the appoint
ment of J. M. Dollarhldo as Justice of the
pence In Garner township to fill a vacancy.

Settlement of Insnrnnce.
Caspar Marti, n former resident of Mln
den, this county, followed tho rush to the
Klondlko In search of wealth. For sev
eral years his family heard"nothlng from
or about him until, In January, they re
ceived Information that ho had succumbed
to denth at Skaguay in tho Mil of 1S08.
Whllo tho Information of his death was
evidently nuthentte thcro was no positive
proof.
lleforo leaving for Alaska Mnrtl had
taken out a policy of Wo insurance for
$1,000 In tho Federal Life association of
Davenport, la., which company later turned
over Its business to the National Mutual
Life association of Minneapolis. Jacob
Marti, a brother, as ndmlnlstr'ntor of Caspar
Martl'B estute, sought to collect on tho
policy, hut was met with tho difficulty
of furnishing proof of his brother's death.
The Insurnnco company, rather than
court litigation, has offered to pay $350 In

of tho women, who almost trampled each
other Into thn snow to get to her. Tho
party was driven through an nlley to the
hotel.
"I shall not do nny snloon-smnshlng In
Des Moines," said Mrs. Nation, as soon ns
sho had arrived "at least, not unless It
shall be God's will."
Sho declared her Intention of visiting
the saloons, however, and talking It over
with saloon keepers. It has been plnnned

but tho governor is out of tho city. The
mayor had Issued orderil to tho pollco to

and If they became disorderly to treat them
as nny othor disorderly persons.
At 3:30 o'clock, nccompanlcd by two city
dotectlves dotnllcd by tho chief of police,
Mrs. Nation called upon four saloon keep
ers In their places of business. Sho wns
followed by nn enormous crowd, reaching
as high ns G.000. When tho barroom of
tho Klrkwood hotel was reached tho chief
ot police held a hnsty consultation with
his lieutenants nnd concluded to stop the
crusnde, which was accomplished without
objection on tho part of Mrs. Nation. Dur
ing tho afternoon Mrs. Nation received a
telegram from n well-known browing com
pany offering her $500 n month to go on
tho road nnd advertise their beer. She ro
plled: "If It Is your pleasuro that I shall adver
tlso your business with tho hatchet, which
is my usual way, I am ot your service. I
promlso that everyone shall hear of your
famous beer."
Mrs. Nntlon lectured to n large audlenco

out of business by her Improved methods.
Gus Ruhlln, as tho barkeeper, does not oven
attempt to stop her nnd all tho bar fur
nishings aro demolished.
Tour Across the Stnte.
Mrs. Nation's tour through the western
part of the state this forenoon took on a new
featuro and wns a triumphal ono to the littlo
Kansas saloon-smnsher. She mado n dozen
nddresses from tho platform of n Rock
Island passenger train to ns many crowds In
tho towns sho passed through to como to
Des Molues to deliver n lecture.
In tho afternoon sho visited four saloons,
doing no damage, but drawing such a big
crowd on tho Btrcet that tho pollco wore
compelled to stop tho crusndo. In the
evening sho addressed 2,000 people in thu
Young Men's Christian association audi
torium. The Journey from Council Bluffs to Atlan
tic was mado quietly, tho hour being too
early for many peoplo to be out to seo tho
crusader.
At Atlnntlc tho first visitors swarmed
Into tho trnln nnd ns Mrs. Nation saw them
coming down tho nlslo she cried out: "Hello,
boyi! Glud to seo you. Shako hands. God
blesB tho hoys and tho young men! I toll
you I Just lovo you all."
The drat largo crowd of the day was en
countered nt Anita, whero Mrs. Nation was
roused, a window opened nnd hands clutched
through tho aperture, Fully 100 persons
wore gntherod on tho platform nnd ns many
ns could surged up to tho car and shook
hands with Mrs. Nation, who started for
tho platform, hut tho train pulled nut sud
denly nnd tho crowd wns loft behind.
At Adair (hero was nnothor largo crowd
and Mrs. Nntlon grasped hands nnd then
mado a short speech, saying:
Did It with Little IliUcliel.
"God bless you! You nro all saloon
smashers. I can seo It In your faces. Wo
must nil work together to down rum nnd
tho devil. Hero's some littlo boys. Como
up, my dears, and shako hands with me. Yes,
I'm Carrlo Nation, I'm the saloon-smasher.
Don't look llko It, do I? But I did it with
my littlo hatchet. God bless you, my boys.
Now I want every ouo of you to All your
pockets with rocks nnd go out ond smash
saloons and Joints. Goodby."
Tho largest crowd along tho first half of
tho Journey wns at Stuart.
At Casey the crowd shook hands with Mrs.
Nation and clamored for a speech, hut there
was not time.
At Stuart, however, tho platform was
lltorally covered with people and after tho
customary handshaking Mrs. Nation mild:
"You soo I haven't got my hatchet with
me," throwing back her shawl. "I guess
I won't need It hero In this state. Wo must
nil work together and smash tho saloons
and snvo ourselves and our fellows. God
bless you, but you all look os If you would
llko to help me. Bo good ami lo what you
can and meet mo up In heaven."
"Will you have your hatchet thoro?" cried
out a voice,
"No, I won't need It thcro," retorted Mrs.
Nntlon, and tho chorus of roars evoked by
tho witty sally wero lost only when the
train steamed out of sight.
Largo crowds wero at Deitor nnd Earl
ham, whllo Defioto nnd Boonovlllo turned
out well, considering the size of tho towns.
Mrs, Nntlon did not show nny symptoms of
fatigue, but continued as effervescent and
Jubilant as over.
At Valley Junction fully 200 laboring men
were pretent, mnny of them railroad hands,
employed In the Rock Island shops. There
Mr. Nation shook hands with everybody

nosed man ns the victim of her retort.

"Thcre'H a man thnt needB a saloon
Htiumher nil right. I can tell him by hla
looks. Como up here, my friend, nnd shnke
hands with Carrlo Nation. Don't bo nfrald."
The crowd roared, but the mnu simply
reddened In tho fnco and refused to budge,
"You nro ono of tho smashed," cried Mrs.
Nation. "I guess I'll have to go out there
after you."
Tho crowd gavo way, but Mrs, Nation
simply Inughcd and the man sulked.
"Wo'vo got a couple of Joints hero In
town," cried nnothor man.
"Smash 'cm: hiiiiipIi 'em!" cried Mrs. Na
tion. At Des Moines there wero fully 5,000 peo
plo cheering nnd yelling at tho depot when
the trnln pulled In. As Mrs. Nntlon walked
nut of tho cor and got a gllmpso of tho vast
throng bho broko loose in childish gloe, say
ing: "Just look nt It! Just look at the
dears! May God bless every one."
After hnlf an hour's work on the pnrt of
tho pollco n way wns made through the
crowd for Mrs. Nation to reach a carriage
which had been provided. Once Insldo tho
cnrrlngo tho clamor for a shake of her hand
was too great and tho saloon-smasher
stepped out of tho carriage and, clinging to
tho swinging dtnr with ono hand, frantically
grnBped tho outstretched hands and arms
with tho other nnd wrung them sincerely,
crying nil tho while, "God bless you! Here's
a saloon-smasher. Ood bless you!"
After tho reception, which lasted fully
fifteen minutes, tho crowd was forced back
and tho carriage moved up to tho Sabine
houso, tho only prominent hotel In the city
without a bar. Here Mrs. Nation received
mnny hundreds.
Mrs. Nation's contract with thn locnl sec
rotary of tho Young Men's Christian asso
ciation for her lecturo contains tho clause:
"Thero is to bo no saloon-smashing of
Joints legally conducted," Mrs. Nation In
terprets this to mean that If thero aro any
Joints which nro running without duo pro
cess of law that sho Is permitted to do her
worst.
In an Interflow sho said: "I loft my
hatchet at Topoka and It may he that I will
not do any smashing In Des Moines, hut
thero Is no certainty for that, for I do Just
what Ood calls on mo to do. I shall re
main In Des Moines over Sunday. I shall
certainly during tho day visit tho saloons,
peacefully, I hope, but If tho threats of the
keepers of these plnccs to kill mo are put
Into effect, then I am ready to die In Des
Moines."
