CARLOAD OF BEER.
Wholesale Liquor House Raided
by Police.
Stuff Stored in Police Station
Pending Trial.

The police made the biggest haul OF
the season late Wednesday afternoon
when they raided the wholesale liquor
house of Frank Raynor at 50S Railroad
street, North Topeka
Frank Raynor Charles Copeland and
H. c. Smith were all arrested, the two
latter being identified with the place as
shipping clerks and statesmen. The
charge on the police register is selling
liquor Copeland objected to being ar
rested and resisted the officers, but was
soon subdued and thrown into the
patrol wagon.
The total amount of liquor conf1scated
would almost till car and consisted OF
1O2 cases OF beer. a half barrel OF whisky,
keg of whisky and barrel full of pint
and half pint bottles filled with whisky
The liquor was taken to the police
station and it required several trips to
haul all over. Officers Donovan, PaveN
Smith and Barnard made the raid. All
three OF the men gave bond ana their
hearing was set for August IA.
The liquor was stored in the basement
of the city prison where it will remain
until the court decides what disposition
is to be made of it.
This is one of the first raids on whole
sale houses for several years. Every
large brewery now has an agency in
Topeka and beer wagons are on the
streets every day supplying joints and
drug stores but they have not been mo-
Tested.
Raynor is one of the smaller wholesale
dealers. The others will not be mOlested.

Garrison at Glands River Cap
tured by the Beers.

London. Aug. 9.-The following report
dated Pretoria, August 8, has been re-
ceived from Lord Roberts.
kitchener was informed yesterday
by an escaped British prisoner that De-
vets wagons had crossed the Vaal. At

think, must have been Methuen's as
directed him to take up a position be
tween Potchefstroom and Lindique.
where he could intercept the enemy. who
crossed the river at Dewetsdorp. Kitch-
ener is crossing the Vaal with cavalry
and mounted infantry
Hunter reports that he made 4,14O
prisoners in the Bethlehem -Harrismith
district, majority of whom are now Ell
route for Cape Town Three guns and
1000 horses were captured and ten wag-
on loads of ammunition and $4,000
rounds of ammunition We're destroyed
The garrison of Glands river, which
fear, has been captured consisted of
about 300 bushmen and Rhodesians- I
had hoped that Darlington had been in
time to withdraw the garrison; but it
seems that DeLarey learning of Ian
Hamilton'S approach to Rustenburg.
hurried westward and surrounded the
garrison before Carringtan arrived.
''Methuen telegraphs that he engaged
a part Of Dewet'S forces yesterday near

of a succession of hills, which they held
obstinately.

'KINLEY'S PLANS.
Will Leave Canton Next Week
to Be Gone Some Time.

Canton. O.. Aug. s.-when President
ton next week it will be for an absence
from here of several weeks Mrs. Nc
Kfnley expects to accompany him to
the capital and they will probably
start from Canton next Thursday. On
Saturday afternoon a reception will be
rendered the 400 Cuban school teach
ers visiting in the United States. On
Sunday the president and members of
the cabinet in Washington will attend
late king of Italy. President and Mrs
Mckinley will probably remain in
Washington together part of the week
and will go direct from the capital to
Chicago to attend the national encamp-
ment of the G. A. r.
From Chicago they will return to
Canton and probably remain here until
the second week in September, when
they will go to Somerset, Penn, to at
tend the wedding of Miss Mabel Nc
Kinley to DR.. Herman Bear. Beyond
arranged. but they will probably return
to Canton for a a least a part of the
time between that and election day.
The volume of official business for con-
sideration in Canton seems to be grow
ing day by day and Secretary Corte-
lyou and his assistants are working
early and late, usually with the presi
dent, who gets little rest. The social
callers are undiminshed in number.
Details of the Chinese situation, all of
which go through Canton, occupy much
of the presidents time.
Colonel and Mrs M. T. Herrick of
Cleveland. will make a several days
visit at the Mckinley home before their
departure for Washington

Produced by the Defense in Powers
Trial.

Georgetown, Ky, Aug. e.--The defense
expects to conclude its testimony in the
Powers case today tomorrow Sur
veyor Goldman, who testified yesterday,
was allowed to make an explanation re-
garding some of the statements made by
him and also to make some corrections
of some answers, which he explained were
made on a misunderstanding of the ques-
tions put to him.
The prosecution examined Goldman
again, going over the greater part of the
ground covered by him yesterday. The
defense had shown by the witness that
the bullet, if fired from the secretary of
states office and passed through Goebel's s
body at l 1915 inches depression to the
foot would have entered the ground near
the fountain, and that the bullet cut out
of the blackberry tree could not be the
one fired by the assassin The prosecu-
ton sought to break down this contention.
