(ANSAS NEWS. i The Saloons at Fort Scott Obey Judse Simon's Order. Ciric Turity League After Elks and Turners. SAY THEY MUST CLOSE. 11. A. Fraser, of Topeka, So An nounces in a Speech. Temperance Agitator Is Hired to Assist the Cause. Fort Scott, July 23. The temporary injunction issued by Judge Walter L Simons, of the district court, against eight liquor dealers and owners of pro perty in which the saloons are said to be located, were served by Sheriff Brooks this morning and in every in stance the order was instantly obeyed and the saloons are closed. "We will so after the Elks and Tur ners next if we are successful in clos ing the saloons, against which we have already caused injunctions to be is sued." So spoke Elmer Strother, the Main street paint dealer, to a reporter while discussing the cases brought by the Civic Purity league against a num ber of liquor dealers and property own ers, in which the saloons were located. Both the Elks lodge and the Fort Scott Turrvereins number among their members some of the best citizens of the city and it is predicted that any at tempt on the part of the Civic Purity league to interfere with their business will cause some highly sensational de velopments. It was remarked on the street today by a member of the Elks' lodge, that Mr. Strother was especially bitter against the Elks' lodge for the reason that he had not been given any of the large amount of work on the Elks' home. That Mr. Strother speaks the inten tions of the Civic Purity leag-ue of which he is one of the most vigorous workers, is shown in the speeeh of R. A. Fraser, the temperance agitator who has been brought here by the league. who at Convention hall last evening said: "No matter what club it may be, or anything else the injunction will go out." In closing his addres3 Mr. Fraser said: "We have formed an organization in southeastern Kansas, called the Fed eration of Good Citizens league. We have organised Cherokee and Crawford counties, and will organize Bourbon, and when these three counties come together and bind themselves together. they will give strength and efficiency to this work."

Hanna, who, with her children, succeeded in leaving New York July 13 on the steamer Cam pania, for London in spite of efforts to stop their departure and who is staying with friends here, said to a representa tive of the Associated Press: "I can not nee why there should be this fuss about my affairs. The court gave me absolute control of my children and Mr. Hanna consented before leaving Cleveland that 1 should take the children away. The death of my mother recently and my own illness necessitated my com ing abroad. "'When I reached New York I found my hotel surrounded with detectives bent upon preventing my children leaving. If it is necessary I may send for my horses and make my future home in Kngland, where I will prepare my boys for ivton and Oxford. I am determined to bring up my children myself and they are securely mine in Kngiand." Mrs. Hanna appears worn and nervous, apparently as a result of her mental strain. FALL IN PRICES Follows Teamsters'Strike in Ban Francisco--Situation Is Serious San Francisco, July 23. The draying business of this city is almost at a standstill. The teamsters' strike went into effect as scheduled, and nearly one thousand teamsters are now idle. On the water front thousands of tons of freight are piled up on the docks, and incoming steamers are continually adding to the congestion. The larger wholesale dealers, the fruit canneries and the factories have been the most seriously affected so far. Most of the small commission houses and other business establishments hav ing their teamsters were able to get their freight moved this morning, but this is scarcely perceptible in effect on the situation. One consequence of the strike, and not the least serious is the abrupt fall in the prices of farm and orchard pro duce. Potatoes and fruit suffered the most in this respect, and the impossi bility of moving large quantities of peaches, pears and plums made those commodities almost unsalable at the wharves. Freight arrivine by rail is in the same situation as that coming in by the water route. The business of the local custom house is also interfered with. Tons of dutiable freight are at the docks await ing removal to the appraiser's store and the bonded warehouses. Much of this freight is valuable. It was announced that the Overland Freight Transfer company has secured men to drive trucks, and that customs officers will be detailed to guard them while they are carrying bonded goods. BRIEF TELEGRAMS. Crockett. Cal., July 23 The first week of the warehousemen's strike has come to a close. Both sides seem sanguine. One of the grain warehouse officials says there has been no conference held with the workmen ana mat tne situa tion remains unchanged. London. July 23. Howard ES.

San Francisco, CaL, July 2S. Tha National Athletic club has arranged a match between George Gardner, of Lowell, Mass., and "Kid" Carter, the clever Brooklyn middleweight. The contest will take place between August 5 and 30 at Mechanics' pavilion In this city. In making this match Manager Greg gains feels that the decision at the end of the battle will come pretty near carring with it the title of middle weight champion. Carter had Jack Root whipped when he lost the decision on a technical foul here last month, and Gardner disposed of poor Jack Moffat's chances of earning the title forever on July 4. when the Chicago man threw his shoulder out of its socket for the second time.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJUNAIi, TUESDAY EVENING. JTTLY 23, 1C01. 1AILR0AD HEWS. Big Task Finished fej the I'nion Pacific. Great Improvements to Eoad Between Cheyenne and Ogden. 815,000,000 WAS SPENT. Excursion II a? Gone Out to In spect the Work- Some Wonderful Specimens of Hailroad Engineering. A large party, made tip of civil engi neers, railroad officials and newspaper men from various parts of the country, left Denver Tuesday on a special train to make a trip over the Union Pacific lines between Cheyenne and Ogden. Within the last fifteen months the tnion Pacific management has expend ed nearly j;5.0.0i on this stretch of track, which is 519 miles long, and the Improvements present several of the most difficult as well as the largest en gineering problems ever solved in west ern railroading The result of the im provements is to give the Union Pa cific a roadbed and track over the mountains which is as nearly perfect as modern engineering science can mpke it. Where there were grades of seventy-six feet to the miie there are now- grades of forty-rhree feet max imum leading over mountains over s.wO ieet hisrh. In the prosecution of the work 19s mites of the old main line were aban doned, every bridge has been elim inated, tremendous deep canyons over waich the rails go have been titled, an inmense drainage area has been taken care of by substantial concrete and iron I'ipe culverts, Sherman Hill has been overcome by a tunnnel 3.O0O feet long, and every obstacle which moun tain elevation can present to successful railroading has been eliminated as by a fairy's wand. To wield this wand, however, has cost the Union Pacitic a vast sum of money, which has been eoent cheerfully, with the knowledge that the work would reduce the cost ef train operation by at least 60 p.er cent and make mountain travel as safe and pleasant as upon the rolling prairies. To let the traveling public know the exact character of these improvements is the purpose of the trip planned by the officials of the company. The new line branches off from Buford, twenty six miles west of Cheyenne, and tra verses the country south of the old line for a distance of fourteen miles, where it crosses Tie Siding. From this point northwest to Lara mi the new line practically jjaralieis the old to a dis tance of three miles. The former summit of the mountains at Sherman is 8,247 feet above sea level, while the new summit three miles south of Sherman is 8.001 feet high, thus sav ing L'4o feet of grade in seven miles. From a constructive view point the line is chiefly remarkable for the amoun" of material required in the building of the immense embankments and a 3,'X'O-foot tunnel just east of Tie Siding. The construction has involved the ex- j oavation of 5.C".).!00 cubic yards of ma terial, one-third of which was solid j rock. This is exclusive of the tunnel i excavations and is about 160. cubic yards to the miie of single track. The work was begun in April. li-Vi, and twenty steam shovels, with their ac- 1 coinpaninient of cars and locomotives, j were employed, together with several thousand men and hundreds of teams. j Some of the embankments of the new j roadbed are remarkable for their height j and large quantities of material re- j quired for their construction over seem- ingly short distances. There are many i Fhort embar.kmer.ts on the line which required from 1D0.00O to 300,t,u0 cubic yards of material. The most difficult embankments con structed were at Dale Creek, southwest of Sherman, and the Sherman branch of the Lone Tree Creek, southwest of Sherman. These embankments are re markable for their height and the inac cessibility of material for making: them. The Dale Creek embankment is l.u feet high and feet long and involved the handling of over SOu.uOO cubic vards of material. The two embankments ad-'acent to the Dale Creek fill required rf.u.000 cubic yards or ail told an excess of T56.000 cubic yards within a distance of one mile. At the crossing of the Sherman branch of the Ine Tree Creek the em bankment is 12'j feet hifrh and required S."h.'.h cubic yards of material. Union Pacific officials are exceeding ly proud of the new line, as it places them in a position to reduce time ma terially between Chicago and the Pa cific coast whenever they see pt to do so. In the party will he a number of fhieago folk who left for Denver Sun day morning over the Northwestern. KEBUILD PULLMAJf SHOPS. Eevea Sew Buildings to Be Put TJp at Wilmington, Del.

The Santa Fe Is not only using- oil as fuel on its lines west of Albuquerque, but it is sprinkling the tracks with the fluid. Oil is used as fuel because of it3 cheapness, convenience and cleanliness. The oiling of the roadbed will result in keeping down the clouds of dust al ways observable during and after the passage of a train. It will prevent the dust which rising and settling on clothes, seat3 and window ledges adds fo much to the discomfort of passen gers. The Santa Fe Is not the only line that uses oil for this purpose, but it is the only one doing it on a large scale. It is not doing it through any ideas of econ omy, but because it will add to the comfort of it3 patrons. Fifty dollars per mile is the cost for service of this character. Over 1.500 miles are thus treated at regular intervals. IS TEE SANTA FS SOLD? 'Powerful Interests" to Be Given Rep resentation on the Board. New Tork. July 23. The Commercial J Advertiser says: It Is not unlikely that one or two changes In the Santa Fe board will soon be made for the purpose of giv ing representation to powerful financial Interests that have lately become idem! tied with this property. It is also expected that the directors of the Northern Pacific railroad wiil meet early next week for the purpose of mak ing the changes recommended by J. Pier. P'.nt Morgan. The names of the five men who are to retire from the present board to make way for the Messrs. Hill. Harri man. Rockefeller, Twombly and Kea, have not yet been announced. There are at least three men now on the board who have not been very active In the com pany' affairs, and these men will un doubtedly be among those to retire. In furtherance of the community of in terest idea it is expected that some im portant changes will occur in the Union Pacirie board very soon. The election oi a prominent representative of the Morgan interest to that board is looked for. There are now three Union Pacific directors act ing temporarily, ax least one of whom. General Thomas T. Eckert, it Is expected, wiil be elected permanently in the Gould interest. NEW SOADS INCORPORATED. Important Connections For Rock Island and Santa Fe. Santa Fe, X. II., July 23.

HALL MUST GO, Policeman ITith Blood j Record Ousted liy City Council. Chief Stahl Makes a Flea For iiis Retention. LINDSAY SCHEME LOST. He Can Not Be Paid For Police Court Transcripts. Says the Council Did Not Treat llira Fairly. By a vote of seven to five tbe council last night instructed Chief of Police Stahl to dispense with the services of Policeman S. M. Hall, the officer who killed George Head, and is now under indictment for the murder, and was also fined for assaulting a defenseless man named Rebbinwitz. Hall was not turned off the force by the police committee aa Councilman Troutman said at the last council meeting: the committee had decided to do. Instead, II r. Troutman made a speech defending- Hall, and asking- that the resolution introduced by ilr. Griley be defeated. Mr. Griley's resolution, Introduced at the meeting a week ago, reviewed the Hall case, and instructed Chief Stahl to relieve Hall from the force, either by suspension or expulsion, pending the trial for murder. The vote on the Griley resolution stood as follows: For: Griley, Snat tinger, Weber, Chaney, Warner.Xichols and 3Iyers. Against: Miller, Bergund thal, Xeil, Troutman and Swendson. After the vote had been taken. Chief Stahl was asked by a Journal reporter what he expected to do about it "1 do not care to make a. statement now," he said. "I have not fully de cided. I suppose that Hall will have to be suspended till after his trial." In addition to attending the meeting in person last night, and sneaking in defense of Hall, Chief Stahl filed the following letter with the police com mittee: "To Hon. Jas. A. Troutman, Chairman Police Committee: "I presume that the resolution intro duced by Councilman Griley at the last meeting of the council in regard to Po liceman Hall will come up tonight for final action. "I am deeply Interested In this mat ter. So far as the Head case is con cerned, according to the evidence I have found, I am convinced that if it could be placed before your committee -or before the entire council that they would commend rather than condemn. Hall and Head were good friends, and his death was regretted by no one more man Dy j-iali himself. One thing should be kept in mind. Only one side of the case was heard in the preliminary ex amination. In the Kobbinwitz case, Officer Hall probably acted a little has tily. There was provocation, and po licemen are only ordinary men. They are not lntaliible, and they make mis- takes as well as other Deoole. "I consider Hall one of my best men. I consider him absolutely trustworthy and reliable. He purposes to do his I The petition to vacate t're alley be whole duty. He has experience and it tween Fifth and Pixth east of Jefferson would be a difficult thing to replace him with a man that would do the citv as good service. Tours with respect, -F. M. STAHL. City Marshal. In his speech before the council, Mr. Stahl said that Hall was not responsi ble for Geo. Head's death. He said that the reason he did not want Hall dis charged from the force was because it would hurt Hall's chances at the time of his trial for murder. POLICE TRANSCRIPT SCHEME KILLED. City Attorney Spencer caused the sudden death of another pet measure of the administration last r.ight. He held that the ordinance to pay the po lice judge $2.50 for every transcript of evidence made for appeals from police court is illegal. This plan would have increased the pay of the police judge several hundred dollars a month. It was the ordinance which called forth a speech from the throne by Mayor Hughes at the last meeting, in which he tried to lash his faithful friends into line by promising them that be was In favor of the -dinance. The opinion of the city attorney on the proposed ordinance was as follows: "To the Mayor and Council. "I have examine! the ordinance provid ing for a transcript fee in cases appealed from the police court, referred to me at the last meeting of the council, and re port as follows: Under the charter ot tne city tne mayor and council have power to regulate and prescribe the du ties, powers and compensation of ail offi cers and servants of the citv not therein provided for. As the legislature has fixed the salary of the police judge at not more than $75 per month, the mayor and coun cil would have no power to pass an ordi, nance except in harmony with this pro vision. The ordinance recently passed fixes the salary of the police judge at $750 a year. As the legislature has pro vided a salary only for the police judge, the mayor and council would have no power to provide a compensation othe than a salary not to exceed a year. "Moreover, by section Ty!. chapter 1. article 5. of the General Statutes fsij. un der the head of Police Judge and Police, it is provided that no fees of any kind shall be allowed to any officer. "Again, by section 74 of the same chap ter and article, the legislature has hxe4 the terms under which appeal may be taken. The condition fixed is that the party appealing ithail enter into recogni zance for his appearance at the next term of the district court. "It is clear that the mayor and conncl would have no power to prescribe and add a condition not contained in the section above referred to. In my judgment the decision of the supreme court in the mat. ter of the petition of John Z. John for a writ of habeas corpus makes it clear that the mayor and council would have Vincent Kamnski Co.

"It is therefore my opinion tfeat the proposed ordinance is invalid and that the mayor and council have no po w-r either to provide for the taxing of a transcript fee for the police judge or to compel a defendant to pay such a fee before per fecting his appeal." Police Judg? Lindsay, In speaking of the action of the council, said: "It is a rank piece of inconsistency. The council allowed the city attorney a deputy, which is not provided for by law, and they are now getting so par ticular that they won't give me this transcript business. The authorities cited by the city attorney are no good. I am willing to take the risk of seeing that the ordinance is enforced, pro vided the council will pass it for me. That's all I ask." PiVING CONTRACTS AWAF.DED. The council last night awarded the last batch of paving contracts for this year. The following were the lucky bidders: Grading Fillmore, Fifth to Sixth, John Van Vechten. 21 cents. Sixth street. West to Haynes, Wall Han ley. 21 cents.

The city attorney was instructed to inspect East Fifth street, and ascer tain the legal status of the injunction which prevents the city railway from paving its roadbed there. The city crematory was again up for discussion. It seems likely that it wiil be necessary to re-establish the old city dump in order to take care of the night soil as rapidly as is necessary tms hot weather. The question is now in the hands of a committee. Repairs were ordered to a lot of brick sidewalk which has been dam aged by the dry weather cracking the earth and allowing the sand to sink down. The repairs will have to be paid for by the property owners. Mr. Chaney secured the passage of a motion which will result in securing a new street sweeper and street sprinkler for the city. The committee on streets i and walks wm take the matter m charge. The next meeting of the council will be on the first Monday in August, the regular meeting night. j. E.

Office, 722 Ill III III DON'T BESELFISII. KeT. C. M. Sheldon Says It Is Trouble With World. Topeka Pastor Again Preaches to Chicago Congregation. SCORES SOCIETY FADS. Adrocates Constance in Good W ork to Get Results. Not a Single Promise in Bible For Lazy Christian. Rev. Charles M. Sheldon still con tinues to attract attention in Chicago. The Chicago Chronicle contains the following about the last Sunday ser vice: Rev. Charles M. Sheldon delivered a sermon at the South Congregational church yesterday morning in which he attacked fads in society and the love of money. Dr. Sheldon took for his subject the bible story of Jacob at the period in his life when he had left his father-in-law after having amassed a f fortune and herds of cattle and was i about to return to the land of his birth. Jacob had succeeded in making his peace with Laban. his father-in-law, but a greater danger confronted him. i "With the connivance of his mother he ni3 birtnrig.ht and as he neared home word came to him that Fsau mat rsau, family and his herdsmen head of him and was lett alone by the side of a ravine. The story says that while Jacob was there alone he wrestled with a man un til the breaking of the day. And Jacob said: "I will not let thee go except thou bless me." Dr. Sheldon said that in his opinion it was the spirit of God with whom Jacob had wrestled and that the blessing that finally came to him and gave him assurance that the meeting with the brother. Esau would be a peaceful one was the result of faith and perseverance. This spirit of Jacob's. Dr. Sheldon said, was what the Christian church of today was in need of. He said: "There is a lesson here for the Chris tian disciple. It is a lesson of hope. God wants us to keep at it. There are certain things which nothing but time can accomplish, nothing but persistance can bring about. Society is a fickle thing and indulges in things that are called fads. Sometimes it is the tenement-house fad. Sometimes it is the charity ball fad, where more money is spent for dresses and flowers and pro grammes than is raised for the poor, and this is called charity forsooth. Sometimes it i3 the patronizing of this or that popular movement for the bet tering of mankind. All these fads have their day. They very rapidly pass on ot a iaa long enougn to amount to any thing. And truly, friends, if anything is going to be treated as a plaything for a day or a year it w-ill pass away for the next new thing. God does not bless fads. He blesses hustling that keeps at it ail through the night and will not have no for an answer. "It is always so in all Christian work. It takes time to see results. It takes time to grow.
