Cred Ball" Service of the San
ia Fe is Perfect.
Used in Transporting Rocky
Ford Melons to Market.
HAS RIGHT OF WAY.
Presidents of the Santa Fe and
Rock Island Roads
Offered the Keys of Topeka by
the Festival Queen.

The Santa Fe has adopted a system
for the rapid conveyance from the
Rocky Ford region which is pointed out
as nearly perfect. 1t is known as the
Red BALI service. A card on which
is printed a red ball is attached to ev-
cry car loaded with cantaloupeS or
watermelons.
All cars so carded have right of way
and are under no circumstances to be
delayed in transit. Trains with such
cards must reach meeting points at the
exact moment and in case of accident,
mechanics of the road are under in
structions to repair those cars first
At division points a stop of 20 minutes
is allowed but no more. The Red Ball"
service extends as far east as Chicago
and also goes to st. Louis, which is one
of the largest distributing centers for
melons of the Arkansas valley. A
contract has been made for the deliv-
cry of so cars at St. Louis during the
present season.
Up to the present time the Santa Fe
has hauled into Denver q cars of
Rocky Ford melons and 20 cars of mel
ons from Oklahoma and Texas. For
merly the supply came altogether from
region south of Colorado.

STONE SET FREE.
Charge Against the Leavenworth
Man of Obstructing Mails Does
Not Hold

Leavenworth, Aug. 27.-United States
Commissioner Bond rendered a decls-
ion yesterday in the case OF the gov
ernment against J. G.. Stone, wherein
he was charged with ObStruct1ng the
mails in an effort to prevent the LeaV-
enworth, Topeka & Southwestern ROAD
from passing through his farm, and
the defendant was set free. This Is
part of the litigation growing out of the
suit of Stone to recover the roadbed OF
the Southwestern because the road was
abandoned for short time in the
spring of 1892. In rendering his decis-
ion, Judge Bond said, among other
things:
ITO say that because the train car
ried mail there was no recourse Tor
justice and would be virtually saying
to the railroads there is no law they
are bound to respect SO long they car
ry the mails of the United States This
1 feel would be a great wrong to the
people; it cannot be possible that cor
porations are the only ones who have
rights before the law. 1t seems to me
under all the circumstances surround
ing this case that Stone was not gull
ty of knowingly and wilfully obstruct-
ing the passage of mails, and it Is,
therefore, the order of the court that
the defendant be discharged from Gus
tody, and that he go hence without
day"
1t was stated last evening that Stone
now proposed to fence the road in again
and that he will take up the track that
runs through his farm. This he pro-
poses to do on September 20, after hav-
ing given due notice to all parties con-
cerned.

SOMETHING BESIDES GOLD.
The Portland Has on Board a Muir
derer Who has Been Chased
Thousands of Miles.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 27.-The
steamer Portland, due from st. Mich
ales, has on board a murderer who was
chased by detectives half way around
the world. He is in irons and under
constant watch of two Pinkerton de-
tectives. The prisoner, VIM. Smith,
was pursued over the continent to Ju-
neau, to Dyea and across the Chilkoot
pass, over the lakes and down the rivers
to the gold fields of KlOndike, where
he was taken into custody.
Smith was Storekeeper in q small
town near Cedar Ra pids, Ia, up to sew
e-aI months ago. One night the store
was burned and in the ruins was found
the charred body of man. Smiths
relatives claimed that he, was burned
to death in the fire. His life was in
sured for $S5,OoO and a demand was
made for the money. An investigation
led to the belief that the body was not
that of Smith, but of a watchman.
The theory was at once advanced that
Smith had committed murder and burn
ed his store in the hope that the body
would be roasted beyond recognition
and his relatives obtain the insurance
money after he had disappeared. Pm
kerton men were put on the trail and
after one of the longest chases on rec
ord arrested Smith at Dawson City on
July II. He was taken TO st. AIichaels
to await the sailing of the Portland.

In THE JUSTICE COURTS.
A Complainant is Assessed the Costs
in stGet Even" Case

In Justice Guys court yesterday was
another of the numerous get even
cases that are filling the justice courts.
J. H. Graves held a chattel mortgage on
a wagon owned by J. A. L. MCGOWAN and
a quarrel arose over the legal ownership
Graves demanded the wagon on last
Saturday and got it a writ of replevin
and then Monday swore out war
rant against MCGOWAN for assault and
battery. The case was turned over to the
state and came up for trial yesterday
afternoon. James H. Guy appeared for
the state and w. F. Choch conducted the
defense A jury was called for and the
following men acted as such: H. w. Tai
colt, A. McGregor, ]. E. McAndrews, w.
c. Long, Daniel Hale and T. Spaulding.
Five others were excused.
The jury found that the prosecution
was malicious and without probable
cause and assessed the costs on the
complaining witness, John Graves. The
costs were $35.45. If few more COM
planning witnesses in these petty quarrel
| cases were assessed the costs there would
be less of these quarrels settled in jus
tice courts. The PROFESSIONAL jurors
were challenged and kept out and the
| men who served were above the avera ge
| jury that sits in the justice courts.
In Justice McClintocl's court Mrs.
| Dena Matthews swore out warrant for
| the arrest of John w. Hass for disturb
| ing her peace. She said Hass called her
| names and accused her children of steal
ing his tools. The case will be decided
| this afternoon.
In Justice Guys court the case of
State VS.. Horace Honnold for stealing 17C
| chickens came up for trial this morning
but the prosecuting witness, E. B. Bal
| come, did not appear and the case was
| postponed until he could be found.

THE CELEBRATION FUND.
Is Swelled by Check From a Dis
banded Railroad Association.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. W. ]. Healy,
secretary of the Santa Fe celebrate
executive committee, received a note
from Mr.. J. F. Mitchell, chief clerk in
the office of the auditor OF passenger
receipts, accompanied by a check for
$12.15. In the note Mr.. Mitchell stated
that the amount of the check was the
balance left in the treasury of the To-
peka branch Kansas Railroad En-
p1oyes association when that ol.ganiza-
ton disbanded, and that as president
of the Topeka branch he decided that
there was no better way to dispose of it
than to give it to the executive COM
n1ittee.
The Kansas Railroad Employees as
sociation was an orga anization started
in Kansas at the opening of the Lew
elling administration. Its purpose was
to bring sufficient influence to bear on
the members of both houses of the leg
islature to prevent legislation detri-
mental to railroad employees, and
branches were established in all of the
principal railroad towns in the state.
Mr.. J. F. Mitchell was made president
of the Topeka branch and Mr.. C. J.
Bell treasurer.
The organiza ton existed through the
session of the legislature, but as no
radical legislation was passed, the Off
GERS decided that it had accomplished
it's purpose and the different branches
disbanded. The $12.15 received by Mr..
Healy yesterday is what was left after
all of the expenses of the Topeka branch
had been paid. and has remained in
the Central National bank for the past
four years.

TEACHER AND BOY ELOPE.
Bride "a and Groom II = Alleged
Hypnotic Influence.

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-Miss Ann
Bourke and Frank Large We're married
at Hillsboro, ILL.,, today, and the we'd
ding is the most sensational in which
Peoria persons have been the principals
for years, from the fact that the bride
is "a years of age and the groom but II.
They left the city together Saturday,
but said nothing as to where they in
tended to go.
Miss Bourl1e has been a teacher in
the Peoria public schools for the pa st
IL years. Frank Large has been in the
city but short time, coming here from
Denver a year ago. Previous to that
time he went to school at Veederburg,
Ind, and since he took up his residence
in Peoria has been employed buffer
at a bicycle factory. Miss Bourke is a
member of a well known and highly re-
speeted family, who have resided in
this city for years. She is a member of
the Catholic church, and Frank Large
is a Protestant, and the family believed
she would remain firm to her religious
principles and never consent to being
married by any other than a Catholic
priest. They understood that no priest
could perform such a marriage without
first having the consent of the bishop
of the diocese in which the commune
cant resided.

THAT'S WHAT BRYAN SAID.
Advance in Price of Farm Products
Will Benefit All Labor.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Assistant Sec
retary Brigham of the agricultural de-
partment today expressed the opinion
that the American farmers this year
would receive in the aggregate from
four to five hundred million dollars in
excess of the amount received last year
for their wheat.
This" he said, means much to the
farmers. They have learned in the
season of hard times through which
they have passed to econoTnize where
they could and to be economical in
buying. They use this money they re-
ceive for the crops to pay off their debts
and cancel mortgages and in making
improvements on the farm and the
farm buildings. This seems like a vast
sum, but statistics sustain the claim -
Col. Brigham also predicted that the
increase in the price of farm products
would benefit the laboring element.
1.-The price of labor he said, did
not decline with the price of farm pro-
ducts, and for some time the farmer
was forced to pay as much for the serv-
ices of those who did his work as eV-
er, whilst his receipts were cut in two.
In as much as wages did not decline,
see no reason why they should be eX-
pected to correspond with the advance
of farm products, which are now bring
ing only fair prices. Still, the laboring
men will be benefited by the advance
in prices.
1.-The farmer will discharge his fndebt-
edness and make Improvements, which
will require labor. He will purchase
more of the products of labor, putting
a vast amount of money in circulation
and this will create a demand for la
Dor in all lines, and men who have been
without employment, or partially en-
ployed, win work full time at fair
wages

COMMANDER GOBLIN.
G. a. r. Elects a Pennsylvania Man
Commander-in-C Chief

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 27.-Cincinnati's
triumph in securing the national en-
campment for 1898 and Pennsylvania s
victory in winning the conmander-in-
chief were the fea lures of the encamp-
ment yesterday.
Following the selection of Cincinnati
Archbishop Ireland was called to the
stage and made glowing speech. He
was followed by General Lew Wallace,
who made a short address.
The report of the committee on in
struction followed this address. 1t
criticised the books on history read in
the schools in the south as inaccurate
and suggested some changes.
Nominations for commander-in-chief
were then declared in order and Isaac
r. Mack of Sandusky, O.; ]. F. S. Go
bin of Lebanon, Pa; George H. Innes
of Boston and John G. Linehan of New
Hampshire were placed in nomination.
Later Mr.. InneS withdrew.
The first ballot resulted: Mack, 25S;
Linehan, 1S1; Goblin. 296. No choice.
The vote on the second ballot was
never announced officially, but as cast
han 123. Before the result could be
announced by the tellers, the ten Mis-
souri, votes that had been cast for
Mack were withdrawn and ordered
changed to Goblin, who had received the
other IL of the 22 votes belonging TO
the state.
Yes, some of them. But the majority
to elect. Illinois and other states be-
gan to order their votes changed, but
while this was in progress, r. B. Brown
of Ohio who nominated Mr.. Mack,
asked una nimouS consent that the ad-
jutant general be instructed to cast the
vote of the -encampment for Mr.. Goblin,
making his election unanimous. The
ncampment then adjourned until 8
O'Clock this morning.

SUMMERS TORRID HEAT
So Weakened W. A. Sloo That Today
He tainted in His Office.

At 11:30 O'Clock this morning w A
Sloo, an abstractor who has an office
desk in the abstract office of McCune
6, Clark, at 113 West Fifth street, was
seized with heart failure, said to be
caused by excessive heat, and fell off
a chair by his desk in an unconscious
condition.
Those in his office ran to his assist
ance and prevented his being injured
by the fall. They noticed that Mr.. Sloo
did not seem we'll this morning when
he came to the office.
He worked hard at his desk. He was
placed on a lounge and restoratives ap-
piled. DR.. S. A. Boam was summon
ed. Mr.. Sloo regained consciousness af-
ter a few minutes and was taken to his
home, corner of Huntoon and Fillmore
streets, in DeMoss and PenwelPs am
bulance. DIR. Boam reports that the pa
tient will recover. For several years
Mr.. Sloo has been troubled with chron-
ic dyspepsia and his heart has been af-
fected somewhat by it. The heat of this
summer has had telling effect on his
system, and has gradually weakened
him. This afternoon he had recovered
somewhat, and it is probable that he
will be able to resume his duties at his
office in a few weeks.

GRAND CANON LINE.
C. N. Higginson of the Santa Fe Not
Favorably Impressed With
the Scheme.

Mr.. G. NJ. Higginson, assistant to
President Ripley, who was in the city
yesterday on his way to Chicago after
a trip through New Mexico, is not IA
vora bly, impressed with the proposed
plan of building an electric road
from Williams, Ariz., to the Grand
canon of the Colorado river. Mr.. Hig-
ginson says, however, that the promot-
ers of the new line will probably COM
plete arrangements for its construction
in the near future.
THE scenery of the Grand canon"
said Mr.. Higginson, 'is undoubtedly
magnificent, but that is really the only
attraction. While the present means
of travel is by stage, the trip is not a
wearisome one. but yet few people ever
visit the Grand canon. The climate is
by no means the best, and I don't think
a big summer resort established there
would be profita BILE. If the line is
built it will connect with the Santa Fe,
but the Santa Fe will have nothing to
DO with its construction. The connec-
ton will probably be at Williams, Ariz.
and the road will run to the canon near
Hance's trail, a distance of about 20
miles -
