From the Lawrence Daily World for August 17, 1910:

“A sample of whiskey containing Cannabis Indica, a drug more potent in its effect than opium, has just been analyzed in the laboratory of the university. The sample was furnished by J. G. Sullivan, 604 Illinois street and was purchased a few months ago from a boot-legger on the streets. Mr. Sullivan was suspicious of the liquor the moment he saw its peculiar color and he had the analysis made in an effort to determine exactly what it contained. All the whiskey offered for sale illegally by bootleggers in Lawrence is manufactured from the vilest ingredients…. Lawrence is the best paved city of its size in the state. At the beginning of 1910 more than half a million dollars had been invested in vitrified brick paving in South Lawrence. The university town has three times the amount of street paving per capita as does Denver, the most progressive city of the west…. Dr. Lucy Taylor, 809 Vermont street, suffered a stroke of paralysis about 2 o’clock yesterday morning. Dr. Smith, the family physician, found that the entire right side was completely paralyzed, but hopes that the condition may not prove permanent. Dr. Taylor is a dentist.”
