As a result of tho fight Mrs. Nation was arrested upon a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Schilling, oharging hor with dis turbing the peace, and Mrs. Schilling was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Nation, charging her with assault and battery.

While she was waiting for Shook seve ral women entored tho store. Thoy were partisans of tho saloon, and, upon seeing Mrs. Nation and the women with her, began a free fight. Ono of The women, who wore a heavy veil, immedi ately began to horsewhip Mrs. Nation, inflicting several blows upon her with a heavy whip. Sevoral mon were in tho store, but made no effort to stop the fight, and only the arrival of tho police ended the free-for-all battle. Mrs. Na tion was severely bruised by thu blown which bad been rained upon hor, and re paired to the houso of ono of hor frionds to doctor her hurts, saying: "Preparo for to-morrow." After peace had been rentored all the women Were bound over to appear for trial. In the preliminary trial Mrs. Nation was found not guilty of disturbing the peace, and was released. The other women were bound over to appear to* day. Mrs. Nation declares that she will swear out additional warrants against the women, oharging thom with attempt, to murder, and that she had encountered more trouble in Knterpriso than in any town she had visited. Mrs. Nation left Entorpriso last night for Hope, Kansas, whore she will hold temperance meetings to-day. There are but two saloons in this town, and Mrs. Nation may destroy them.

Topeka, Kans., January 20.-Mrs. Car rie Nation caused a great flurry among tlio saloon koopers of Topeka to-night and as a result was roughly handled by a mob. Mrs. Nation arrived in Topeka at 0.40 o'clock and immediately hunted I up a newBpapor reporter, with a requoBt that she ho shown some of the leading saloons of the olty. Two newspaper mon volunteered to show her around. Sho says sho did not want to begin a smashing orusade, but wanted to talk tc the liquor soliera. The keepers of tho saloons had boon apprised of hor intentions and when she arrivod at Ed.

By this time a largo orowd had gathered, among whom were uumorous sympathizers ol Mrs. Nation, Nobody attempted to in torforo and soon Mrs. Myers stopped bei assault.

A measure of far-rcaohing importance to the South, as well as to the rest of the oountry, has been introduced-in Con gress by Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, to oarry out the purpose of a general movement which oame to a head at Asheville fess than two years ago for tho establishment of a national forest reserve in the Southern Appalaohain mountains. The bill, whioh is before tho Senate committee on forest reserva tions, provides for an appropriation of not more than $6,000,000 for the purchase of not moro than 2,000,000 aereo of forest land iu Virginia, North Carolina, South Caroline, Georgia, Alabama and Ten nessee. The reasons why this bill should Become a law aro well sot forth in a let ter in the New York Times by Mr. M. V. Richards, land and industrial agent of the Southern Railway. He points, out that the great forest wealth in the region mentioned io not theroby to be lost to the public, but that it ls to bo so handled in systematic and soientiflo lumbering that it will remain continual instead of being destroyed. In that region tho Appala oliains, ho says, attain their greatest hoight, and there are found largely in their primitive condition the richest hardwood forest of tho United States, sheltering the headwaters and the feeders of the Ohio, the Tennessee, the Savannah,' the Yadkin and tho Roanoke rivers. Seoretary Wilson of the Depart ment of Agriculture reports that the region in general is better adapted for forestry than for agricultural purposes, and that the conditions there are excep tionally favorable for oarrying on large operations in praotical forestry, while tho weather is suitable for lumbering operations at all. seasons of the year. Moreover, it contains a greater variety of hardwood trees than any other part of the United States, the Northern and Southern species meeting there, and is marked by exceptional beauty and pic turesqueness. Ho expresses the belief that the lands there, now held In large bodies of from 50,000 to 100,000 acres, may bo purohased at prices ranging from $2 to $5 an acre. President McKinley has sent a mes sage to Congress recommending favor able consideration of the report of Seore tary Wilson in favor of tho plan; the North Carolina Legislature has passed an aot giving the consent of tho State to the acquirement of such lands by the United States as may be necessary for tho establishment of tho reservation; a similar bill will come before the South Carolina Legislature, and other States immediately intorestod will doubtless give ready consent as soon as possible. The intelligent work dono on the Hilt moro estate in North Carolina has dem onstrated tho possibilities of eciontiflo forestry. The application of suoh methods to a wider flold under tho aus pices of the national govornment, whioh ni on o may n>?vltA them "".coessiul, appeals strongly not merely to the peo ple of tho six .states in whioh the reserva tion would lie, but to tho people of tho whole country, especially those who aro benefited by tho presenco in the Appala ohnlns of the groat forests protecting the reservoirs of mighty rivers. As Mr. Richard s well says : Thero bas been so far sot aside west of tho Mississippi 70,0^0 square milos for national parks and forestry reserves. East of that river there is nothing of this kind, If there is evor to bo a national forestry *"??erve of the hard wood forests of the country, now 1B the timo to establish lt. Tbeso great South on! forests are valuable. Tho lumber man is after them; they aro rising in value steadily, and unlosa the govern ment moves soon it will bo too late tc. secure the area needed, and with (he primitivo forests untouched. The people of tho United States are all vitally interested in.this proposition. It is muoh moro than a question of mero dollars and coots at the present timo. It is a question whioh looks to the whole future, so far as our timber supply goos, and even, in largo mannor, of our whole industrial oharaoter. One problem is whether, by tho destruction of this mag nificent forost area, tho streams now furnishing water-power to vast indus-, tries and having hundreds of unde veloped powers, and which food many of our groat rivers, shall bo shrunken to insignificance or dried up. Another is the vast benefit to be derived from the educational wprk carried on by suoh a forestry roser re. Tho preservation of tho forest and cutting of tho timber In a soientiflo way will give a steady avail able supply of timber for all time, and will teach the pooplo of all sections the ?iroper care and utilization of our ores?H. Tho reserve will set asido a | limited portion of our hardwood areas, and that portion whioh is tho most snit* able, for tho examination and study of futuro generations. Tho interest in forest preservation ls increasing in this country. Thero is a growing demand for tho establishment of this resorve. The demand comos from many different portions of tho Union. lu response to this demand. Seoretary of Agriculture Wilson has had extensive investigations m ado of tho areas proposed to bo embraced in tho I reserve, and these investigations empha- j size the groat need for and advantages to bo derived from it.

Nation | Has a Hot Interview With the Governor. Anthony, Kansas, January 80. Early to-day, before most oitizens had reached their places of business, twelve women of the Anthony Vf. C. T, U., armed with ..hammers, hatehets and piok-axes, raided and completely demolished four saloons here. Husbands of the women wont along, armed, to protect their wives. Among the brigade were two or. three sohool girls, nnder age, who did nomo of the most effective smash ing. ? greater part of the havoc was finished before the polioe or mayor were aware of what was going on. The actual damage done to personal property, aside from tho liquor destroyed, is placed by the saloon" keepers at $2,000. This, how ever, is believed to be too conserva tive. The first place attacked was situ ated in the rear of a drag store, whioh was forcibly entered from the rear. It oontained some costly fix tures* and, among other things, a valuable cash register. Within a few minutes the women had smashed everything in sight. The cash reg ister was demolished, but in their hurry to finish this job and go to other plaoes they overlooked tho bulk of liquor stored away. . Half a blook down the street the second scene of "joint" smashing was enaoted. They found this saloon looked, but axes were applied and the whole glass front was demol I ished. Here their work was more com plete. The building, a great plato1 glass mirror, and everything in sight was reduoed to the maxim of Mrs. Nation's idea. The proprietor was smashed over the head with a beer bottle and his scalp laid open. He was struck by the husband of one of the women. In quick succession two other places a short distance down tho street were subjected to similar treat ment, the fixtures^smashed and all j the liquor turned into tho glitter. To-day's raid was led by a Mrs. Sheriff, Of Danville, a small town near by.* She came to Anthony last night, organized the looal temperance women and planned the orusade. Mrs. Sheriff had previously de stroyed a saloon in Danville and she is oredited with having given Mrs. Nation the first ideas of such a oru sade. Mrs. Sheriff is a stranger to the people of Anthony and for a time many in the crowd that followed tbo crusaders from place to place, be lieved that she was Mrs. Nation. The saloon keepers of Anthony each have a ware-room aside from their saloon where tbeir stock of liquor is kopt. The crusaders did not know this and considerable I amount of liquor is yet unmolested. After the work of demolition was complete tho crusaders held a prayer meeting on the sidewalk and J<Nearer My God to Thee" was sung | with fervor and grsat unotici. MRS. NATION STILL AT WORK.

Topeka, Kansas, January 28. Mrs. Carrie Nation to-day visited the office of Qov. Stanley, and, for an hour, arraigned the Chief Execu tive of the State for his failure to I close the saloons of Kansas. Then, j in turn, she visited the offices of At torney Qoneral Goddard, County Attorney Nichols and fcherift" Por ter S. Cook and demanded of eaoh that they close the saloons. When Mrs. Nation entered Gov. Stanley's office she wa? followed by a orowd of nowspapor reporters and others. By tums she upbraided Gov. Stanley for his failure to up hold the law against liquor selling or egged him for aid to carry on h or rusado. Sho put her questions ith fierceness and answered them without giving the Governor time utter a complete sentence in his own defense. Mrs. Nation accused Gov. Stanley of branding her as a law-breaker and demanded to know if he had a bet ter method than she of ridding tho j State of saloons. "Do you think roy method is | right?" she asked. "No, I don't," replied tho Gover nor. "Well, Governor, havo you a- bet-1 ter ono ?" ! AB the Governor turned in his chair to make answer/) every one list ened intently. V, "No,., I don't think I have,!' he finally replied. Continuing, he managed to edge in a few words more: "What oan I do? I am powerless. The law does not allow m?todo what'I desire The law gives me no privileges. What oan. I dor" , "If necessary, oall out the militia," was Mrs. Nation's prompt reply. Then the orusader began a philip pic . that oaused Gov. Stanley's anger to rise and the orowd grouped about his desk looked on in wonder. "You can close, every joint lin Kansas, if you will, Gov. Stanley," ehe said with foroo. "You can do it if you want to, but you wou't. You are a law-breaker yourself if you don't. You took your oath'of office to keep the constitution. You re fuse my request. You are not only a law-breaker but a perjurer." As Mrs. Nation prooeeded, she %beoamo more vehement and ber voice quivered. She rose from her chair and looked full in the face of Gov. Stanley, and pointing her linger at , him oalled him a "law-breaker," and "perjurer," without the least show ol fear. She repeated these words ol aoouaation again . and again. He tried to make roply, but ah o gave him no chance. Finally, his temper gone, Gov Stanley arose from his chair and shouted baok : "You cannot come here and tall* this way to me. You oannot talk tc me this way, I say. You are t woman, but I won't stand it." "I am a mother^ I am a grand mother, and I represent the moth ers of the State." "You don't. You don't represem them," almost shouted the Governor The words flew baok and forth wjtl such fierceness that lt was impossi ble to distinguish them. The roon was in an uproar. Then Mrs. Natioi talked more . oalmly, pleading wit! the Governor to aid her. "You come with me and hoi smash saloons," she urged, and thei she added : "If you won't help us-if yoi won't help me-I'll go around an I'll smash, smash, smash, Governoi Tho devil seems to have a cinch o tho mon, but he bas not a oinch o tho hatchets and rocks." Finally, Gov. Stanley volunteered "Ypu get the prosecuting attorno of tho different counties to put th joint keepers in jail, and I'll use ni power as Governor to keep them ii II'll seo that thoy are not pardone out." . This promise instantly transforme Mrs. Nation. She fairly beame with joy, and thanking the Gove nor, started for the office of Atto ney General Goddard. The Alto ney Genoral was engaged, but si forced hor way into his private offi< Iand introduced her subject wit these words : "We want you to dose the; joints, these murder shops." She demanded that he reme tiloso officials who neglected the duty, in allowing the saloons to ru and when ho evaded her direot que tion and referred her to the coun attorney, Mrs. Nation asked : "Mr. Attorney General, you a not dodging, are you? Now doi dodge." With a parting injunction to ? what Im lux! ?worn to on ta^'U? ) Ioath, Mrs. Nation, followed by army of people, with a bodyguard newspaper men, started for t County Attorney's office. "The Governqv and Attorn General are dodging," she skid, "fc there's no dodging my hatohet." She had lost her wraps and Y veil during her raid on the Sta house, but she wasted no time loc ing for them.

Fads and Figures About Material Being Used j In Its Construction.: An j^jgrovement, that marks a] more wholesome progress than any other by South Carolinians will be completed before the end of October. ! In the country aa well as towns peo ple, representing either labor or capi tal, are awake and guard sensitively the unusual advancement they now porcoivo in the diversified industries even in their own localities. Tibia isprogress. The architectural adornment of j the State oapitoly-so long left unfin ished-is tho most popular improve ment the State has seen for years. Every one is willing ; every one is proud. This pride is honorable beoause the benefits are not looal j they pertain to. the -whole State. This is patriotism. The work on the capitol is advanc ing, rain or shine. The outlying grounds are covered with . finished stono. The legislators within may vote yea or nay, but the. sound of the automatic drill and the stone cutter's hammer is heard continu ally. There are perhaps 425 tons of granite lying on the ground left from the incompleto building. This granite was obtained from the bed of the river near the old Granby sta tion and hauled from the quarry to the present site by a tram road built by Col. J. G. Gibbes in 1866. Tho stone needed to complote the work oomes from tho Keystone quarries at Paoolet, S. C. The Unkefor Mollivain Company, the contractors, own these quarries and this is why the Columbia granite is not being used. At least 1,600 tons more of granite will be needed to finish the building as was formerly intended. Each one of the 24 columns sup porting the roof of the portioo weighs 82,000 pounds. On the briok girders oarried up to the roof tho dome will vest. The girders are 86 [ inches thick, yet it is well, for 460, 000 pounds of stono and 180,0001 pounds of stool alone will rest upon the walls. The rest of the work will require 640,000 pounds of steel. The cost of granite is so variable aocording to the uses and finish that one oan hardly present in an average way tho expense of the stone that will be furnished. Common rubble masonry is worth $2 per top and upward ; oarved Corinthian oap is worth $600 per ton. Twenty-four of these oaps will adorn the columns around the porticoes, each weighing 2? tons.
