Our New Court House Contested by Amateur Photographers
A chaotic scene surrounds the new Shawnee county court house as photographers swarm the site. One camera is broken by a rock while workers joke about a jubilee. A man named J Lea Knight snaps many views amid noisy inquiries from a couple visiting from Atchison or Mesoken. A humorous sign reads Justitive Dedican, with locals noting the Latin means just dead. The piece veers into a public health note about alum baking powders, listing brands found unsafe by government authorities and citing Dr. Wiley’s World’s Fair findings that alum powders are unwholesome.
