Topeka, Kas., Fob. 17.?Mrs.
Carrie Nation put in a busy
Sunday in Topokn to-day, and
a3 ? resuk'tho capital city has
experienced more genuine excitement
than can bo remembered
by the oldest inhabitants.
Mrs Nation literally crammed
the dav with_ thrilling
episodes. Slie succeeded in
having the contents of a no
torious joint smashed, broke
into a cold storage plant whore
a number of fine bars had been
stored away for safety, and demolished
them, addressed a,
large mass meeting of men and
women, and was arrested four
times.
The last "timo that the law
laid its hands upon her was
when Mrs. Nation emerged from
the church where the mass
meeting had been held.
To night Mrs. Nation an
nounces that she will begin tomorrow
whore sho left ofl' today,
and will not rest until all the
joints in Topoka have been
closed.
This morning at 0 o'clock,
just as the big bell on the
Church of the Assumption
tower was striking the hour,
Mrs. Nation sallied forth from
the State house grounds at the
head of 500 men and women, all
armed with hatchets and
and moved on the joints of the
city. Nobody but Mrs. Nation
kn< \v vwiat plans she had laid.
In the crowd wore a large
number of students of Swash?
burn college, some of the minis
t< rs of the city and a nuinbor
of professional and business
. men. The crowd marched in
|^P perfect military order, the men
and women following their recognized
leader, whom they
seemed to trust implicitly
The company marched silently
out of the State house
grounds, down Kansas avenue,
to ?he placo on East Seventh
street, kept by Ed Murphy,
where the work of demolition
began. Mrs. Nation, brandish[

^ onslaught, uttering words of
deprecation against the joint
keepers as she sent her weapon
through tho first plate glass
window at hand Others fol
lowed her lead quickly.
Amid the shouts of the crusaders
and the commands of the
police present, trying to protect
the property, glass went.crashing
to the ground on all sides.
Jlpct the door was smashed in
with an axe, and the beer kegs,
bottles, mirrors, and everything
smashable were attacked Hardi..

tion had begun the smashing
of what was ouco a well furnishod
saloon was in complete ruin.
Her work over, Mrs. Nation
proudly emerged from tho pi,tee,
and wap arrested. She went along,
with tho ofliecr, followed by h r
hand and the crowd that had
gathered. At the police station
she wan released promptly and
hurried tHink to hor work.
She entered a livery barn, in
whioh some bars had been stored,
and smashed thorn. Then, at the
head of 25 of her stoutest hearted
iN6AS
j*r
LAK
followers, sho went, to the Moserf
cohl storugo plant and enteredl
upon ii soaroh for liquor that she i
thought hud been stored there.'
This time Airs Nation was arrested
by the county authorities, and
| was taken to the jail in a patrol
wagon.
It was after noon before she

and after taking dinner withi
Sheriff CooR she went to the firfct;
! Christian church, where she was
accysted by an officer with a war-11
' rant, and taken to the county jail
again. She stayed this time for j '
two hours, and finally her bond
waa signed by one of the joint,
keepers of the city, a negro politician.
I
i The gathering of the crusaders
at the state house grounds before
daylight was conducted with thoi
i utmost ee?recy. Very few knew
about tho intended raid, except |'
those going to take part in it. At
4 .'50 o'clock silent forms were hurrying
across to the state house,,
where sentinels of the army vi ere '
posted. These required each ,
comer to give an account of him-. .
i self. Finally the army was
massed in the dark, di?inal'corri- ;
dor under the east steps ot the i
cnpitol building.
Two men came with great nun- I
ing picks, and others had axes
and sledge hammers. The women, ;
! who composed one fifth of then
party, carriod bright, new hatchjets.
At daybreak Mrs Nation, jj
who had overslept, ar.d Dr Eva j
Harding, with whom she staved i
that night, came running up. '<
"Get in lino there, men und '
# |
i women,'1 Mrs Nation called. "We I
I
i must he about tho Lord's work, i
Get your hatchets reuuy und fol- 1
, low me." 11
i And they did, two by two, with |
weapons in hand, Mrs Nation, j I
with her hatchet raided, leading. '
Behind her were Mrs Rose Crist 11
and Miss Southard, who accom- j
panied her on her trip to Chicago,. i
and I)r Eva Harding. Nextcame .
nix Washburn college hoys bear- i
ing an immense battering ram,' i
^ xcii oi Hie bovs also clutching a \
bright new hatchet. Twice at j i
notorious places the crowd want-: |
ed to stop, but Mrs Nation would j i
not tarry. The crow*d reached :
the joint door leading toMurphy's i
fashionable bar. Four policemen i
*tood guard and commanded the |
people to stand back. I
"Smash, smash, smash," called i
out Mrs Nation. "Don't pay any
attention to them " i
Forward came the battering I
ram and the big plate glass win- i
?lo\\* was smashed into a thousand
fragments. Dozens of men then
ru.-died on the building armed
with their axes and soon had the
iloors and window frames cut
entirely awav. Then with an ex
* % <
ill Dm t choer the crowd burst into
the building.
"l'raiso Clod, women, smash the
bottles and the windows'4, called i
out Mrs. Nation again, and raising
her famous hatchet, she sent
it through a window glass. Two
polieemcn seized Mrs. Nation.!
J They started off with her to the
i police station as quickly as pos I
I sihle. She frantically uracil her!,

' First a c iso of beer was smashed. 1
