TOPEKA. Kan., Feb. lS.-Mrs. Nation It
cow In the county Jail as a result of her
trial on a peace warrant before Judge
Hazen today. Tho warrant was sworn to
by the Moser Cold Storage company, whose
plant Mrs. Nation entered yesterday morn
ing. Mrs. Nation acted as her own attorney In
the trial. Judge Haten placed her under
12,000 bonds to keep the peace and ordered
her to appear before him at the next term
of court. Mrs. Nation refused to Rive the
bond and said she would go to Jail. She
Is now detained In the hospital room of the
county Jail, whero sho will probably remain
for some time.
Mrs. Nation made the following state
ment today;
rIL',lquft.r.,,!rs ot thn Home Defenders.

see her on a hill that her tight may go to
every dark corner of the earth. "Come
with us and we will do thee good, for the
Lord hath spoken good concerning such a
people." CAIlItlE NATION.
The case against Mrs. Nation brought
by the proprietor of the Senate saloon,
whose place she wrecked about ten days
ago, was resumed In the city court to
day. The court room was crowded.
W. I. Jamison appeared for the state
to prosecute the caso and J. M. Oumenll
for Mrs. Nation. The table between the
two attorneys was piled high with law
books and Mrs. Nation's attorney had, be
sides legal books, many quotations from
the bible. Mrs. Nation sat behind her at
torney and spent most of her time writing
upon a small tablet. The argument was
commenced by tho defense and Attorney
Dumnell cited many authorities. In speak
ing of the first case as a parallel to Mrs.
Nation's smashing, he said:
((notes front the llllilo.
"It Is found In the bible In the temple,
We find by Matthew that Christ entered the
temple and abolished that nuisance. He
cited the New Hampshire law. which says
that the private party abating a nuisance
doe? not have to do it In' a manner best
suited to tho party. That means that the
liquor does not have to be carefully poured
out. The New Hampshire statute says that
putllc nuisances may be abated by tho acts
of Individuals."
At this point Mrs. Nation left her seat
snd opened a window. The cold wind swept
In and blew the papers about the court
room.
"Close that window and open It from the
top," said Judge McCabe to Marshal Ross.
Mrs, Nation took her seat and Hoss closed
the lower sash and opened the top sash.
Mrs. Nation rushed back and threw up the
lower sash again.
"Take your seat," commanded the Judge.
"The marshal will tako care of tho win
dows." "He didn't do it," snapped Mrs. Nation.
"You sit donn and tend to your business
and I'll tend to mine," retorted the marshal,
as he closed tho window.
Mrs. Nation was surprised. She Is In the
habit of having her own way. and It was
rather a shock to her. She looked at Ross
too surprised to say a word.
Mrs. Nation became restless as the trial
progressed and paid but little attention to
the lawyers and walked about the court
room whispering with the spectators and
the members ot tho home defenders.
Cite Jemey ltenorta.
Lawyer Dumenll referred to the New Jer
sey equity court, which stated that a man
had the right to abate a common nuisance
without proceeding through the courts, but
afterward if the court found that he had
made a mistake and that the place was not
a common nuisance he could be recovered
against.
Tne court took a recess ot ten minutes
and when the argument was resumed Mrs.
Nation walked about the court room and,

detecting the fumes of tobacco, said "Some
one Is smoking here. Better stop It, for
It smelts bad."
Assistant County Attorney Jamison, a
colored lawyer, began his argument for the
prosecution at 11 o'clock after the defense
had an hour and thirty minutes. Attorney
Jamison said the charge of destroying prop
erty brought against Mrs. Nation does not
como under the head of malicious mischief.
He argued that the law of destroying prop
erty was the one under which Mrs. Nation
was 'arrested. He held that If Mrs. Nation
was not guilty, then every one had a right
to do as she did.
Judge McCabe, when the argument was
closed, said: "The question Is new and im
portant, and entitles It to a thorough con
sideration. I shall take such time as seems
necessary to me, as we have no decision of
our own supreme court. The court will
announce a decision Thursday morning at
9 o'clock."
Mrs. Nation was tried on a peace war
rant and action taken to place her under
bond by County Attorney Galen Nichols be
fora Judge Haten In the district court at
1:S0 o'clock this afternoon. The trial was
the result of her crusade Sunday morning.
The warrant was sworn out by the Moeer
Ice and Cold Storage plant, crao ot the
places she visited, and at which place she
was arrested by the sheriff. Will Moser
one of the partners, was the first witness
called. After answering alt questions put
by the county attorney Mrs. Nation, who
acted as her own counsel, opened Are with
all manner of questions. Objections were
offered by the county authorities, most of
which wero sustained. Other witnesses tot
lowed In a like manner and sho kept a
fusillade of questions, wanting to know how
many hatchets were used In breaking In;
what do you keep In your place; Isn't It a
fact that you keep all kinds of hell broth,
etc. Mrs. Nation could not understand the
sustaining ot the many objections and said
she did not think the Judge was fair with
her. The court room waa packed with
Jolntlsts and homo defenders.
Mrs, Nation's bond was fixed at 12,000.
She refused to give It and was taken to
Jail.
Mrs. Nation received a telegram this
afternoon from a manager of a Chicago
stock company offering her J500 per week
to play in a temperance play. She an
swered: "Not yet, while I got ome sense."
It Is not likely that Mrs. Nation will be
able to giro bond because she declnres
that she will resume her smashing crusade
against the "Joints" Immediately upon her
release. Her friends have been advised
that Judge Hazen will order her release
only on promise to send her to her home
at Medicine Lodge. Judsi Hazen tonight
placed Cal McDonald, Mrs. Rose Crist and
Miss Madeline Southard under peace bonds.
McDonald's bond Is 11,000; the others are
J300 each. The Judge delivered a scathing
address to the three Nation lieutenants.
He expressed the opinion that Mrs. Nation
Is Insane and said those persons who en
courage her methods ot reform ought to be
ashamed of themselves.

NEW YORK. Feb. IS. Mrs. Carrie
Nation. In a letter to Leslie's Weekly, says:
"A saloon has no right In any place. I
will smash the saloons In New York, Mil
waukee, St. Louts 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
breaks all the slnse of the decalogue who
sells a glass ot rum. The motive wblch
leads him to put this stumbling block In
the way of his brother Is Inspired by a
spirit which violates all law.
"The time for the saloon to go has como,
We are organizing an arcny'of home de
fenders which demands that the murder
shop close or be closed by law. Otherwise
we destroy this destroyer by means of any
thing that will smash. This is a severe
world, but nothing can convey that thought
so forcefully as the results. This army of
home defenders is doing just what Israel
did as recorded In II Chronicles, xxxt, 1.
Wo attack nothing but that which Is dan
gerous to humanity and heaven.
"This Is one of the greatest warfares
not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities and powers and against
spiritual wickedness In high places,"
Carrie
The most talked-about woman in America
today Is Mrs. Carrie Nation, a middle-aged,
untomantlc, bustling Joan of Arc. who com
mands an army such as the world has never
seen before, such as no man or woman has
ever been able to organize an army of
wemen scatteted all over the states, but
ready when their leader shall appear to
ucsheath their one weapon, the homely, do
mestic hatchet.
"This Is one of the greatest warfares,"
says Kansas Joan, "the world has ever
known not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities and powers; against
spiritual wickedness In high places. And
man's extremity Is Ood's opportunity."
If Mrs. Nation had lived In a country ot
castes, she, too, would have been a peas
ant, and It her first husband had been a
fairly prosperous Kansas farmer, Instead ot
a sot and a weakling, who died In delirium
tremens thirty years ago, this woman whose
name Is on the tongue ot alt American
women would today have been known
among her neighbors in Enterprise, in
southern Kansas, as an excellent cook and
a big, wholesome housewife with a kindly
heart, a Jolly laugh nnd a shrewd, busy
tongue.
Knte Decrees Otherwise.
But fate bad other plans for Mrs. Nation
fate and Kansas. Scotland gave this halt
daughter of hers the Intense feeling for re
ligion, the uncompromising, argumentative
tendency to make matters ot belief a vital
part of every-day life. Ireland gave her, a
big frame, a hearty laugh, a quick tongue,
and. If not an Indifference to, at least a
capacity to endure poverty. America the
south, Kentucky softened the burr and tho
tongue, widened the Irish woman's mental
horizon and delivered the Scotch woman
within her from the narrowness of strict
devotion to dogma. Mrs. Nation belongs to
no church. And then came Kansas to com
plete the work.
In leaving Kansas Mrs. Nation has left
behind much that explains and Justifies
ber. For one person who doubts her sanity
In Kansas there will be ten In the other
states through which she will pass on her
way east. To be without the walls of a
ti-natto asylum In Kansas by no means
aigues sanity In other states. And Kansas
Insanity Is a grade of trratlonallsm by It
self, a more emotional, higher-pitched
Insanity, to which poor, limited lunatics of
more stable states can no more attain
than the states themselves can produce a
cjclone. A mere bedlamite out of key with
the universe becomes In Kansas a prominent
citizen with, whose somewhat extravagantly
expressed views one may not agree, but
wblch one If he be Kansan must respect,
knowing that his own rather erratic
opinions are considered quite as eccentric
by a peculiar neighbor who Is notoriously
one-ldead, and so on and on.
She Lacks Ktoquenee.
Eloquence Is the gift which Mrs: Nation
lacks. It, In addition to the fearlessness,
the unconventtonatlty, the Intense religious
conviction wblch the moat antagonistic, the
most casual observer must find in her, she
had the "power to stir men's blood" with
oratory, however simple, Kansas, kruds
and kranky (as the alltteratlves express It),
woutd today be a bloody battle ground and

the temperance fight would be fought with
more destructive weapons than hatchets
and by sterner combatants than women.
The one thing which prevents the Carrie
Nation crusade from becoming a civil war
fare, a thing of terror Instead of a Joke on
"Jolntlsts," Is that her tongue has not
bVen tipped with the Are of eloquence.
People who go to hear her apeak the
fanatics excepted, ot course, whom there Is
no need for her to convert come away
coldor than when they started, eager with
anticipation. There Is not the faintest
dramatic quality In this woman's speech.
She seems upon the platform a common
place, Insensitive old lady, with so concep
tion of that which Is expected of her as a
lecturer, no telepathic communication with
her audience which would wire to her their
disappointment, their dissatisfaction and
her own failure.
She, herself. Is thoroughly delighted with
her small Jokes and repeats them with a
complacent nod ot the head and a twinkling
eye. "I would shed no blood," she will say
tn a conversational tone from the lecture
platform. "And I told the keeper of that
Joint In Wichita so. But I said to him:
'Just keep out ot the way ot my hatchet.
It might fall. It might fall and hurt ye.' "
o Effort nt Notoriety.
Mrs. Nation la quite conscious that she
Is speaking for publication. It Is part ot
her plan, of course, that all she says shall
be reported. And yet, a sturdy simplicity,
the Impression that the gives of being an
unsophisticated old woman, unaware ot bow
peculiar Is her behavior to conventional
eyes, saves the situation. One no more at
tributes Mrs. Nation's retorts tn court to a
vain desire to appear "smart" than he sees
in her camaraderlo with the policemen In
the Jail anything other than the manner
natural to a good-natured, common, old
body, who Is quite at her ease with this
sort ot man, and as thoroughly at home
among strangers ss simplicity is every
where, The power of publicity which stands
behind her Is that which compels a Kansas
Judge to combat the effect she Is trying to
produce, while his knowledge ot the mixed
Kansas sentiment and the Inflammable
nature ot part ot the people gives him
patience to listen to Irrelevant words and
countenance Irregular proceedings rather
than aid In bringing about the appeal to
martyrdom which fanatical crusaders court.
"She will be killed!" said one woman
feerfullly to another, In a cosy little Topeka
sitting room.
"Well let her," answered her visitor,
who had Just returned from a raid on a
"Joint" and was relatlnj to her friend
all that had occurred. "Let her be kilted.
It tt will advance the cause of temperance
and open the eyes of the people of Kansas,
let her be killed, or Imprisoned, which
ever It Is to be. 'It Is not all of life to live,
nor all ot d;ath to die.' If prohibition needs
a martyr, tt shall have one."
When the reporters flocked to the Jail
upon hearing of the "Joint-smashing" and
the arrest, they asked Miss Southard, the
young woman who took part In tt, for her
name.
"Give me your name," said Mrs. Na
tion, looking Into the young woman's
eyes with an unspoken command. "Don't

Ing Charges of Eitrsrsgsnce,
YANKTON. S. D., Feb. IS -(Special Tele
gram.) In the hoepltal Investigation be
fore the senate committee today Marls
Taylor submitted data In regard to fur
niture charged by Governor Lee as having
been removed by Dr. Mead. On cross-ex
amtnatton hts testimony did not bear out
the evidence of Architect Dow, and es
timated In regard to the rear mlddte build
ing, which was an Issue In the last state
campaign on the ground ot extravagance
or worse in Its building, that about 118,000
should have been expended so tar In Its
construction and that 32,500 more would
be needed to complete It
Present Steward Nlssen testified In reg
ard to the cost ot the buildings that no
accurate account was ever kept and that
he did not consider that the returns made
to the state auditor tn such matters were
correct. As money was always taken from
different funds for use In others he could
clve no Information In regard to the value
ot the patient labor used.
Ex-Governor Lee was questioned in re
gard to the charges against Dr Mead, but
did not seem able to substantiate them on
the subject of bills rendered by Individuals
tor supplies. Mr. Lee stated from his own
business experience that bills had been
presented that no honorable firm would
make out and no honorable body would
allow. He characterized the conduct of
affairs at the reform school during the
former administration as the most reck
less of any In the state.
The Investigation will continue tomorrow.

he wanted to be a cowboy and mounting

pushed the pony so hard It died. Reaching
Pierre he started across country afoot
for tha Hills. His experience was a rough
one, but the boy would not give up or
write home. On arrival here he secured
employment tn a livery stable driving a
back. Even with this lte was not a continued
round of pleasure and, on his birthday anniversary-
his love .for mother became too
strong and he wrote to her. The lather

"I I'd hate to have It get tnto the Kansas
City papers," faltered Madeleine Southard.
"My grandmother lives there and she'd be
worried about me."
"Well, other people worry, too," returned
her leader. "You don't want to give your
name, then?"
Will the Movement Spread
Hatchet crusades wilt hardly become the
fashion, although In days when faith was
stronger and emotional excitement more
contagious the flower of Europe and the
chivalry of France could follow an Illiterate
monk or a dream-mad peasant girl to death
and to victory. But It Is not beyond the
pale ot possibilities that this woman may
create a sentiment a powerful as the
hermit did or Joan herself. Women en
masse, women In unusual circumstances
and following their emotions, are an un
known quantity. Before long you will see
thousands of them In. every state tn the
union wearing a button bearing the broad,
beaming countenance of Mrs. Nation.
Special pictures of her have been taken for
this purpose and Carrie Nation buttons
and badges will flood the market soon and
be a profitable source of revenue for some
one.
For whom? That Is a question. If once
Mrs. Nation's followers shall find the flaw
ot personal thrift In her, it for a moment
they get the Impression that she Is making
capital ot her prominence, her Influence
will melt awar like the hopes ot the Kan
sas farmers before the hot winds.
Mrs. Nation Is brave enough to risk her
very life and she Is not Insensible to the
active teachings of martyrdom. She Is
ready to defy public opinion, yet she re
alizes the force ot sentiment. She Is ready
to "smash" a saloon when circumstances
seem to require it and the Lord commands
It. Yet she knows that It Is not the actual
vatue ot what she destroys that will defeat
her enemy, the outlaw "Jolntlst," but
aroused public sentiment wblch will sweep
htm, or fine him as has already been done
tn Topeka tn some cases out of existence.
Where the .ntlon Live.
The Nations live tn Barber county, which
touches Oklahoma on the south, with Its
new conditions and new people. When
Mrs. Nation went downtown to do her scanty
marketing for the Nations were poor, very
pcor, and though tall, old tearful-eyed Mr.
Nation may be an attorney-at-law, the
humblest laborer In southern Kansas could

when Mrs. Nation went along the principal
street of the little town. If she chanced to
meet a man who was smoking, she would
walk directly up to him, take the cigar or
the cigarette from between his astonished
lips, and, throwing It aside with an "Oh,
bow can you smoke the nasty thing!" or "I
really can't bear the smell of It!" pass
on her way. There was no malice n the
act. It was almost Impersonal. She said
that her aversion to tobacco was pre
natal. That some one else's fondness for
It might be quite as deeply rooted never
occurred to her. What she did she did
simply as a matter of course, not to be
debated or reasoned over any more than
any other Impulse which should come to
bar.

New York. Feb. If. One of the most
prominent specialists of this city was In
terviewed by me today regarding the ap
pendicitis epidemic und he gave out the
following statement, but does not wish to
have his name published, claiming it would
be unprofessional. He says: "Colds
cause appendicitis If the bowels are not
kept active A77"n,t'itis Is the most
grave and serious of all acute Intestinal
disorders, Keep your bowels active by
taking Case-trine, which I believe to be the
best laxative. If your tongue Is coated
with red tips, nnd the bowels costive, you
are sick and should be careful. Take a
teaspoonful of Cascarlns before you go to
bed and In the morning you will be relieved
and well. Cascarlne Is the best grippe
preventive and also a preventive of appen
dicitis. It Is known to be the very best
laxative, Is recommended by all physicians
and will positively cure any disorder of the
stomach, bowels and kidneys. Mothers
should be careful and not give the children
any laxative but Cascarlne. It will not
gripe any one and Is most pleasant to take.
Biy a bottle today and you will be recom
mending It to your friends next week. At
all druggists, fifty cents per bottle. If
your druggist hasn't It, ask him to get It
for ypu of his Jobber. The manufacturers
of Cascarlne will send to any address, ab
solutely free, a booklet on diseases of the
stomach, bowels, kidney and liver. Ad
