CARRIE NATION PASSES AWAY
Saloon Smashing Made Her Famoui—
She Readied a Fortune From
Selling Hatchets.
Leavenworth. Kan.—Carrie Nation,
the Kansas saloon smasher, who re-
cently died here, was born In Ken-
tucky In 1846. Her maiden name was
Carrie Moore ar.d as n girl. It l said,
she was absolutely fearless. In her
early life she married a man addicted
to Intoxicants, which created lu her
an Intense aversion to the saloou.
When he died she determined to de-
vote her life to the suppression of the

[ CONSUL ACCUSED IN SCANDAL^
William H. Michael, United States
consul at Calcutta, whose dismissal
as a result of the recent Investigation
of the Day portrait voucher was re-
commended In a report of the sub-
committee of the house committee on
expenditures, was formerly chief clerk
of the state department.
The alleged misappropriation of the
state department funds occurred In
connection with the purchase of a
portrait of Assistant Justice Day of
the Supreme court, former secretary
of state, and amounted to $1,600 Only
JRGO was paid to Albert Rosenthal,
the artist who painted the picture.
The committee during its investiga-
tions traced to a single voucher the
sum of $2,450. O:. this voucher was
written "for portrait and frame of ex
Secretary Day "
The testimony having showed that
the $1,600 unaccounted for was in the
l ands of Morrison as disbursing clerk
and of Michael as chief clerk, the
committee holds that the money was misappropriated either by Michael and
Morrison Jointly, or by Mlcbael alone.
The mysterious finding of the voucher for $2,450, which was reported
lost when the committee began Its investigation, but which later was discov-
ered by a messenger on the tloor in the disbursing clerk's office. Is criticised
by the committee in its report as beyond human belief.
That both Morrison and Michael should be removed from office for the
good of the public service was the opinion of the committee.
Neither the president nor the secretary of state, according to the report,
has the right to pay for portraits of former secretaries of state from the
emergency fund from which came the money to pay for the portrait In ques-
tion.

all this season's best styles. Come here for your Shoes. We guarantee you the greatest bargains you ever

prices this week:
Mrs. Carrie Nation.
Kansas and married David Nation, i
who sympathized with her temperance j
principles.
During her career. Mrs. Nation I
wrecked hundreds of saloons, using a
hatchet, which became as well known |
as she. She was absolutely without j
fear, invading saloons, demolishing j
mirrors and furniture and assailing [
bartenders and proprietors without re-
gard for her own safety. She had j
many narrow escapes from injury and |
was roughly handled on several occa- j
slons.
So great is the extent of her fame
that down lu the heart of the Pana-
manian wilderness, there is a wayside
Native saloon, with the rough sign
conspicuously displayed:
"All Nations Welcome Except Car-
rie!"
Carrie Nation regarded herself as a
woman with a mission. She declared
that hers was the right hand of God
and that she had been commissioned
to destroy the rum traffic In the
United States. The emblem of her
mission was a hatchet, and her cam-
paign against the saloon was country
wide. She suffered imprisonment,
abuse, ridicule, was even called in- j
sane, and at the end of nine years re-
tired with money enough to enable
her to buy a farm in Arkansas. A
good deal of her money was derived
from the sale of souvenir hatchets
and the remainder from lectures.

ings were erected for a four company
post, a stone hospital was begun and
some preliminary work done on a
stone wall surrounding the fort.
These improvements were not coin'
pleted until 1849. Col. Snelling's child

The stockade which bounded the
camp of the 1,600 Indians captured at
Camp Release, who were not adjudged
guilty of any crime that would war-

tom. This was their place of confine-
ment during the winter of 1862 and
