tise that the carpenters, the masons; the paint

plumbers are busy remodeling, enlarging and
converting the Fastest Growing Clothing Store
in Kansas into the largest, lightest and best ap
pointed clothing establishment in the state. And
meanwhile we could dump on the public regular

With the sun shining in Kansas to
day and a decided drop in the tempera
ture that presages a permanent break
In the rainy spell of the last ten days,
railroad men took courage and went
to work with a vim to repair the dam
ages done by the recent storms. They
bad plenty of work to do but all la
borers available along the lines of the
roads have been put to work and it is
expected that by night most of the
roads in Kansas will be in such shape
that they will be able to resume their
normal traffic.
With the cessation of the rains last
night the streams began to recede rap
idly and as a result the. conditions
along most of the railroads have im
proved materially. The only serious
damage done by the severe storm of
yesterday afternoon, in addition to de
laying all the repair work on all roads,
iwras on the Emporia sut-off of the San
ta Fe. The Marais des Cygenes over
flowed its banks between Pomona and
Quenemo and a Santa Fe bridge be
tween these points was so loosened
around its foundations that it was un
safe for use. This tied up the cut-off
line completely and all the trains usu
ally run on it between Kansas City and
Emporia were handled over the main
line running through Topeka. It is
expected that this bridge will be put
in such condition that it can be used
by nightfall.
The Southern Kansas division of the
Banta Fe is entirely out of commission
because of the floods caused by the Ver
digris river at Madison and the low
lands in that vicinity. The VerdTgris
has not abated very much and the
tracks of the Santa Fe around Madison
are still under water.
Because of the bad washout at Perry,
the Union Pacific tracks between Kan
sas City and Topeka are still out of
commission except for the running of
a few plug trains between stations on
each side of Perry. All of the Rock Is
land trains, which ordinarily use the
Union Pacific tracks, and all of the
Union Pacific through trains between
Kansas City and here are still being
handled by the Santa Fe. Because of
the additional traffic placed on this line
by the nonoperation of the Emporia cut
off there is a perfect jam of trains-being
handled today between Kansas Citv and
Topeka and they are being run with
great irregularity. Strenuous efforts are
being made to handle as much freight
as possible in addition to the heavy pas
senger traffic and between Topeka and
Kansas City on the Sar.ta Fe it looks
as though one continuous train was go
ing along, so close are the many trains
running to each other.
The Rock Island, Union Pacific and
Santa Fe lines running west of Topeka
are in such good shape that traffic on
them ought to be about normal by
night. The Rock Island has fixed up
the trouble with the bridge at Straight
creek, near Holton on the St. Joseph
line, and this branch is now in opera
tion. East of Kansas City the Missouri Pa
cific had made such progress in renair-

being at Madison; Greenwood county. At
Kmporia, both the Cottonwood and Ne

flood is expected.
At Lawrence, Le Roy and Burlington

during the past week and is about sta
tionary now at 16 feet. Some rain fell
last night.
AT HOLTON.
The record shows that eleven inches
of water has fallen here since Thursday.
Another heavy rainfall Monday caused
Elk creek to leave its banks, carrying

five inches of rain In about twenty-four
hours. A number of families in town
moved out when water from Rock creek
entered their houses. The grounds of

flood the river bottom farms.
AT GARNETT.
More than five Inches of rain has fall

Wail From Fort Scott.
Governor Hoch has received a letter
from A. L. H. Street, of Fort Scott, at
torney for the law enforcement league
in Bourbon county, asking Governor
Hoch to appeal to President Roosevelt
to stop the issuing of liquor licenses by
the government to violators of the law
in Kansas. Mr. Street thinks that if the
government should 'stop issuing licenses
in Kansas, it would be comparatively
easy to stop me saje or liquor in Kan

GARVER IS NAMED
Appointed Assistant Attorney
General for Shawnee.
Position First Offered to R.B.
Welch and Declined.
TO ASK CO-OPERATION.
Expects Help of City and County
Authorities.
County Attorney H ungate Says
Appointment Is Good One.
Late Monday afternoon, the appoint
ment of Judge T. F. Garver as assist
ant attorney general for Shawnee coun
ty was announced by Attorney General
C. C. Coleman.
Judge Garver has had the position
under consideration for some days, but
did not Inform the attorney general of
his acceptance until his return yester
day from a few days' absence from the
city on a business trip.
This morning Judge Garver said in
speaking of his appointment:- "I hesita
ted a good deal about taking up this
work, and I have only done so now with
the understanding that I shall have the
hearty support of the temperance people
of Topeka as well as that of Governor
Hoch and Attorney General Coleman. I
will receive no salary from any source
except what the law allows, but the un
derstanding is that the Temperance
Union will provide funds for the neces
sary expenses of my work.
"I don't know what the latest move
of Chief Goodwin will amount to. If he
keeps the joints closed, it will save me
a lot of trouble. I expect to proceed
not only against jointists, but against
the owners of buildings in which joints
ar located.
, "I shall seek the co-operation of the
regular city and county officers in any
thing I may do. I regard my work as
that of an assistant to those whose du
ties are none the less because of those
imposed upon me.
"If I can not have co-operation, and
my assistance is declined, the law points
out the course to be pursued by an as
sistant attorney general under such cir
cumstances. "What prosecutions may be com
menced for past offenses, will depend a
good deal upon the disposition the joint
ist makes of himself after today. I
think Topeka has a number of property
owners who need to learn the lesson
that renting places for an unlawful
business is not profitable."
It became known some days ago that
R. B. Welch had been offered the ap
pointment of assistant attorney gen
eral. Mr. Welch declined to accept the
place, on the ground that he could not
afford to sacrifice his other law busi
ness. It is likely that Governor Hoch will
be forced by public sentiment to fol
low up his appointment of an assist
ant attorney general for Shawnee
county by the appointment of other
assistants for Wyandotte, Sedgwick,
Atchison, Bourbon, Leavenworth and
Crawford counties. Wyandotte county
is especially stirred up over the exist
ing situation in Kansas City. - Kansas,
where all the Kansas City, Mo., people
have to go now for their Sunday
"booze."
When asked concerning the possi-.
bility of appointments in other coun
ties. Judge Garver said:
"I know nothing whatever about the
governor's plans concerning other
counties. Of course it is to be hoped
that the conditions here in Shawnee
are not as bad as in some of the other
counties where large cities are . lo
cated. ....
Governor Hoch was in Marion yes
terday when the y appointment was
made, but it is known that the plans
for the appointment were fullv dis
cussed between himself and the attor
ney general before he left.
Iluiigate Says It's a Good One.
Speaking of the - appointment of
Judge Garver as assistant attorney
general for Shawnee county. County
Attorney Hungate said: "I think that
the appointment is a splendid one. If
Judge Garver cannot close the joints
I don't believe that it can be done. His
duty is along the line of work that is
to his liking, and he will have the
hearty co-operation of the citizens of
the city. I have tried to do my duty
as county attorney since I have been
n office and think that I have succeed
ed fairly well to say the least. The
closing of the joints in this or any
otner city is a big proposition and
county attorney of a county as densely
populated as Shawnee has some other
things to occupy his mind and time as
well as the joint proposition. I have
issued compalints whenever a showing
has been made to me that the law
regulating the sale of intoxicating
liquor has been violated and have been
very successful in securing convictions.
But I could not devote my entire time
to this proposition without neglecting
the criminal and civil duties of my
office. Mr. Garver wilt not have any
thing to do but to pay strict attention
to the punishment of the violators of
the prohibitory laws, and I want to
repeat, if there is a man in the county
who can enforce the prohibitory law
that man is Judge Garver, and I wish
him well.
Mayor Wants to Know.
Mayor W. H. Davis says that if the
joints don't stay closed he will have
them raided. No spotters will be
used in securing evidence. Mayor W.
H. Davis hasn't much faith in the
efficacy of spotters.
Furthermore( the mayor is wary.
He wants to know first what T. F.
Garver, assistant attorney general for
Shawnee county to secure the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law, wants
the city authorities to do before he
will say anything about co-operation.
We are getting things in a good
shape for Judge Garver," said the
mayor this morning while looking over
some of his correspondence. "I don't
know what we shall do in the way of
co-operation. It . depnds somewhat
upon what Judge Garver will ask of
us. I don't know what he wants us
to do. I am glad that Judge Garver
secured the appointment. I don't
know of anyone that I would prefer
to see more in that position than he.
He is a very genial, sociable sort of a
man and a thorough gentleman, too.
"I don't know whether the jointists
will remain closed or not. I presume
though that they will have to be
pulled. History seems to show that
they open up again -as soon as they
think it safe to do so an-i this will be
no exception.
"I don't think highly of this spot
ter system. You- take the average
spotter evidence and it is not, worth
much. Tou place the spotter no be
fore a Jury and when the jury gets
tnrougn sizing mm up. they haVen t
got much use for his testimony. Of
course if it were possible to get a dif
ferent class of spotters than have
been employed in times past, perhaps
mis mignt oe cnangea.
SAVE THE TOPEKA DYKES.
Correspondent Also Advises Opening
Sew Creek Outlet.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
There is no doubt that the dykes
saved North Topeka from an inundation
last Friday and Saturday from Soldier
creek. But what saved the dykes?
About the time that the dykes were in
danger and about giving away the wa
ter ceased to rise and then began to fall
gradually. This fall saved the . dykes.
The fall was caused by the creek
breaking through to the river right op
posite the waterworks pumping station.
This cut is about 30 feet wide and the
rush of water was such that it tore
down big trees. There were other
places where the creek cut through to
the river, ' but it was clearly this big
break that relieved the pressure and
saved the dykes and North Topeka from
flood. It also was the cause of saving
considerable corn, by draining the wa
ter off the low lying lands north of the
river that would otherwise have stood
there for quite a while.
Would it not be wise to now keep
this channel open, scrape out the bed
and make dykes on each side, also have
the U. P. railroad bridge the cut in
stead of rebuilding their embankment.
It looks as though this ought to be done
even if the county commissioners had
to buy the land.. It also looks as though
the property owners ought for this pur
pose to accept quite a nominal sum for
the strip that is washed out if pur
chased for the use of maintaining an
outlet from the creek. It has been
clearly demonstrated that the dykes
kept the water out of North Topeka,
now the thing to do is to protect the
dykes and make them permanent. In
addition to keeping open and dyking
this new cut it would be well to plant
willows all along the inside base of the
dykes and to get a good growth of Eng
Msh meadow blue grass sod all over the
dykes as soon as same can be grown
from seed. This sod is not killed by
high water and will prevent the dykes
from washing away once the sod is
firmly established.
T. D. HUMPHREYS.
MR. CLEMENS DISCTJSSES IT.
He Is Sorry That Judge Garver Took
That Appointment.
G. C Clemens today gav out the
following interview com-erain the ap
pointment of an assistant attorney
general for Shawnee county:
Judge Garver and I are friendly.
and his partner and I more so; hence
I personally regret that the judge has
not exercised the worldly wisdom
which I conceive .1 exercised when
called upon and which it behooves
men at our time of life and not yet
over rich to use. After spending two
years at the state house as supreme
court reporter I had to begin as a new
lawyer and build up a business again;
and I refused to repeat the experi
ment. Judge Garver will find that I
had been sitting at the feet of Solo
mon and had garnered wisdom in
great lots from a slim pantry. Be
sides, Ire must expect to share the fate
of his predecessors; to make enemies.
lose friends, be suspected and stabbed
in the back and finally be cast aside
for another victim of the champions
of malignant reform.
"Will he put on the lid and keep it
on? Not if he attempts to ao any
other business. If he should give up
all other business he can put on what
people can be hypnotized into believ
ing a lid. but the Objective mind will
know that it is, only tissue paper.
For whom is he to grapple with and
overcome? Some jointists acting from
purely mercenary motives? His task
were a mere afternoon's healthful ex
ercise were that the case. Your pro
hibitionist constantly overlooks it that
he is fighting the other half of the
community fighting scores of men
who never touch intoxicating liquors
but who rebel against being forced by
law to be provincials and against hav
ing their thriving and cultured city
converted into a. village; against hav
ing an entire population put into
straight jackets because there may be
a dozen lunatics in the crowd. The
men in this city who oppose the en
forcement of the prohibitory law are.
as a rule, high-minded men, broad-
minded men, men who will steady the
moral and intellectual scales, man for
man. with the best men in the pro
hibition ranks. These are the people
who make the enforcement of the law
so difficult; not a few bartenders and
cold storage men.
"This spasm will last for a time.
Then the prohibitionists will grow
drowsy and put their purses in cold
storage, and the sleepless, tireless joint
ist, backed by hall the community and
aided by the weariness and disgust of
most of the other half, will be wide
awake and joints will be thick as forest
leaves in autumn.
"Judge Garver has undertaken as to
Topeka a task not unlike that of the
unfortunate statesman periodically sent
by the British government to subdue
Ireland. He comes as the avowed en
emy of self government, his business to
endeavor by financial rum ana crowd
ed prisons to overthrow the popular will
expressed but recently at the ballot box.
By his acceptance, he assists an 'O-be-iovful'-Chadband
governor to put a
stigma upon good men his fellow citi
zens chosen by the people. I do not
envv him. I trust he is to get paid;
but I admire his pluck if he is acting
from principle,- He is doubtless as non
est in his convictions as some of the
rest of us are in ours."
In the Police Court.
"Jimmy" Jofdan, a young negro, re
ceived a long lecture from Judge Urmy
this morning, and to escape conviction
for vagrancy, made a solemn promise
to keep out of the bottoms district ror
ever more. Jordan was arrested by
Officer Maze, who caught him in the
yard of a negro disorderly house.

- Fred Hambel and Wesley Dodson
negro boys, were released after a long
lecture. They were hanging around a
negro dive in North Topeka, and when
the officers rushed the . place, one of
the boys poked a revolver through a
crack in the fence so that it would not
be found on his . person. The officer
could not identify the hand which was
inserted through the fence, and both
boys were released on a promise to keep
out of further -trouble.; ......
Two liquor, cases were tried in police
court this morning, Ct H. CurV who
was arrested about a month- ago at 318
East Fourth - street, was found guilty
and fined $100 and 30 days in Jail. His
attorney, Galen Nichols, announced that
no effort would be' made to save the
liquor which was-ordered destroyed by
the court, as it was spoiled anyway.
The police were m a fair way. to con
vict Tobe Tobias of selling and keep
ing at 230 Kansas iavenue, when the
attorney for the defendant discovered
that the number on the warrant called
for 330 instead of 230, and the defendant
was discharged.
Grace Warc!-Simmor.s, a woman who
kept a disorderly Tiouse at 310 Kansas
avenue, next door to Salvation Army
headquarters, has agreed to leave town
to avoid arrest. Complaint was made
against the resort by the , Salvation

MARKETS TODAY.
Sentiment in the Wheat Pit Is
Bearish.
Wet Weather Has Steadying
Effect on Corn.
LIVE STOCK TRADE.
Cattle Quoted Steady to Ten
Cents Higher.
Hogs Are Also Up But Only
Five Cents.
Chicago, Sept. 19. WHEAT Sentiment
in the wheat pit here today was somewhat
bearish as a result of continued liberal re
ceipts in the northwest. Lower prices at
Liverpool gave additional encouragement
to bears. The selling movement, however,
was held in check by wet weather
throughout the wheat growing range cf
the United States. December opened a
shade to c lower, at 83SS4c and sold
off to 83c. Minneapolis, Duiuth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 1,145 cars, agsanst
813 cars a year ago.
After December had sold at 83c the
market rallied materially on covering by
shorts. December advanced to 84c. Offer
ings, however, continued liberal and the
market soon eased off again. The close
was easy, with December off c, at
83c.
CORN The wet weather had a steady
ing effect on corn. Commission houses
were fairly active bidders for December
and May. The September options showed
considerable loss on profit taking.
Later the market became trite firm,
December advancing to 4545c. Reports
of damage by heavy rains in the south
west helped to create bullish sentiment.
The market closed firm, with December up
c, at 44e.
OATS The feature, of the sag in oats
was fresh liquidation of the September
prices. The market was easier. Decem
ber opened a shade to c lower, at 2829c,
and sold at 28c
PROVISIONS Provisions were a trifle
easier in sympathy with grain. Trad
ing was extremely quiet. January pork
was off 7c, at $12.35. Lard was off 2ff5c,
at 6.82Va. Ribs were down 5c, at $6.45.
