AI105G THE UOODLUriS Prohibition Ilxhorter Wilson IIes a Hard Time of It. ADDRESSES A TDBBJLEST AUDIEHCI He la Protected by a Policeman and A o t h i n Serlooa llippeai. When A. Q. Wilson rolled his box out into the street at the corner of Seventh and Kansas avenue, with the intention of saving the world from the demon drink, at 7:45 last evening there was not much of a crowd waiting for him. But he hadn't talked long before he had about him a crowd of over two hundred yelling hooting men and boys. lie was hardly allowed to utter one uninterrupted sen tence. Policeman Campbell was on the watch and at one time only his presence saved the box on which the speaker stood from destruction. The crowd was ap parently not an angry one. It was simp ly there to have fun with what it cou faidered a "crank." Wilson is a little bald headed man and the crowd had nicknamed him "ohorty." It fitted. "There are thirty-three druggists in To peka selling liquor," shouted Wilson, "aud they are all criminals. There are drug stores here selling liquor under permit who have not the required $1,00CI stock of drugs. "llow do you know?" yelled a man ia the crowd. Wilson named two that he had refer ence to. The probate judge permits it and he knows it. Lee Jones, (continued yells and voices, , 'lie's here,') he should go to a heathen country (voice, 'As a mis 8ionary';"fcecond voice, 'He'd make good steaks.') He is now pleading for mercy. He oifers to give $10 monthly to the poor. Where did he get that money? Celling whisky. I heard Lee Jones speak of the prohibitory law the other day and he used profaue laugaaga (voice That's awful.') "Many of you remember the episode at Fifth street Monday evening (voice, You do.) I want to say that in this cause if need be,I am ready to die" (voice, "Good bye.") A German in the crowd veiled, "I can drink if I vant to bud I don.t vane you to anna, to wmca ir. w nsou replied, "This is harder on Topeka thaa it is on me. The constitution has been violated." (Voice, Whose? Yours'.') Wilson theu devoted a little time to County Attorney SaiTord, the Topeka club and Judge Hazen. He al.-,o advised all people to keep out of bad society and then referred to his audience as a "law less mob." Someone- yelled, Run home then, illiCj About this' time, the crowd concluded that it had had of the eaougii speech and begau calling on "Grandpa." ( E. D.Christy) to sing, but Wilson wasn't through yet and kept on trying to talk. The crowd yelled aud laughed calliug him names and would not allow him to pro ceed. This was. kept up for some time, and finally Wilson declared that ho would "dismiss the meeting on account of the lawless mob." The "lawless m:b" yelled again and made a rush for the box, al most knocking it over. Officer Campbell interfered and drove the cro.vd Duck. Wilson then dragged his box to the alley, followed all the time by the crowd, which continued to make f u 1 of him and say mean things. Ofiicer Campbell escorted him to Fifth street, where they were met by Officers Giah and Donovan, who dis persed the crowd. Wilson says he will speak at the cor ner of Kansas avenue and Sixth street Saturday evening. A HERO AMONG US. Captaiu Wentworth of Topeka tt arnily Notlcetl in ix JPittftburg Paper. Captain II. E. Wentworth, a Topeka insurance man who belongs to Lincoln post and who was one of the youngest officers in the late war, is attracting some attention at the national encampment.

He went through the seven days' tight in the Wilderness, was at Glendale. Charles City and Malvern Hill, where his con duct on the battle lield caused Gen eral Kearney to recommend him for a commission, but his youth prevented his muster. At Fredericksburg he volun teered to serve some guns wiiere the bat tery boys had all been killed. His work here secured his decoration by the com manding general with the Kearney cross. He was at Chancellorsville after his term of service had expired. Young Wentworth again enlisted in the Fourteenth iS'ew York heavy artil lery, and was promoted on the battletieid of Spottsylvama. At Xorth Ann river he was in command of 2U0 men at an outpost, and fought from all sides of the works duriug tiie day, was finally cap tured and promoted to captain while in prison, and before he was 1(5 years old.

Pension Agent Glick Calls Attention to the New Law. Pension Agent Glick calls attention to a new law enacted by congress which is of interest to pensioners, especially those who reside in the country, and who get their mail at fourth class postoffices. According to this law: "Fourth class postmasters of the United States are here by required, empowered, and authorized to administer any and all oaths required to be mode by pensioners and their wit nesses in the execution of their vouchers with like effect and force as officers hav ing a seal; and such postmaster shall affix the stamp of his office to his signa ture to such vouchers, and he is author ized to charge and receive for each voucher not exceeding twenty-five cents, to be paid by the pensioner." 31 Igtot Have Been 3Iorrlll. Speaking of the election of the new commander-in-chief of the G. A.

This is simply a flyer, because in ca3e of his election to the position of governor he could not. perform the duties of commander-in-chief, the two offices being incom patible."
