mot CHICAGO Sentiment.
Interview with Alexander ]. Jones,
President of the Drainage
Board of Illinois.
ST. LOUIS FAIR HAS NOTHING TO FEAR.
The DRAINAGE Canal Controversy %
cries, 10 Determine. and should
Cut M Figure In the Louisiana
Purchase Celebration mt 81. Louis.

Chicago, Feb. IA dispatch from
Hot Springs, Ark, reports Mr.. Al
eNander j. Jones, the president OF
the drainage board of Illinois, in an
interview regarding Chicago's and IL
linois' attitude on st. Louis appropri-
atoms and Worlds fair. as saying:
"The suggestion that the ST. Louis
Worlds fair appropriations, and legis-
lation should be opposed either at
Springfield OF at Washington, because
of St. Louis opposition to the Chicago
drainage canal, is not n Chicago senti-
ment, and is especially distasteful to
the officials of the sanitary district.
The st. Louis celebration is to COM
memorate one of the greatest events
in American history, the Louisiana
purchase, and us il was this event
more than any other which shifted
the 'seateof empire from the At
lantic states TO the Mississippi valley.
and opened up the great west, Chica-
go and Illinois should take "A special
interest in making the st. Louis cele-
bration a success.
The drainage canal controversy has
now reached stage where facts and
not theories are To be presented 10 the
court for the settlement forever of
the question of whether running wa
ter purifes itself and whether st.
Louis is in. jured or benefited by the
opening Of the canal. We expect 10
show. and that. too, before the st.
Louis exposition is opened. that il has
been not Only a sanitary benefit, but
that the increased flow of 100000
cubic feet of water per minute down
the Illinois and Mississippi valleys has
proven such boon to navigation in
all seasons of the year as to convince
the most ske ptical that the first and
most important step has been taken
in the construction OF the great COM
mercial waterway and ship canal to
connect the great lakes with the city
of st. Louis. and the city of St. Louis
with the Gulf Of Mexico.
surely this achievement will be a
fitting crown for the century's devel-
opment of the Louisiana purchase,
and Chicago must claim part in
these events by fla
voring all reasonable appropriation
for the exposition. both in Springfield
and in Chicago. and following it up by
the same exhibit of the sani-
tary district and drainage canal that
we made last year AT the Paris expo
sition.'
The sentiment here expressed by
President Jones finds hearty indorse-
ment in Chicago and throughout the
state of Illinois.

All the Jotnts In Topeka. kas.. Clese0
an Demand Of Chief-of-
Police Stnhl.

Topeka, Kas.. Feb. l2.-As n result.
Of the meeting OF citizens Of Topeka,
all the joints of the city are closed
tonight. The citizens made the per.
cmptory order that the saloons lie
discontinued by noon Monday, and ne
far as known the order was regarded.
Early this morning Chief-of-Police
Stahl. with some OF the officers, made
the rounds of the joints and notified
the Keepers, so far as they could be
found, that they would be expected
to close at once. They were in each
case presented with printed copy Of
the citizens ultimatum. and COM
manded, inthe interests OF law and
good order, to close at once.
Chief Stahl told the jointists that
there was an army of thousand men
waiting to march on minutes notice
TO close the joints of the city, and that
they were of class that would not
be frightened out of performing their
duty as they interpreted it. Notices
were slipped in under the doors If
closed places.
In only one place did the officers
find any liquor sold, and this place
agreed TO close at once.
Tonight Topeka is practically dry
town, SO far as the joints are con-
cerned. Some of the drug stores are
said to be doing "A thriving business.
but the condition is much different
from a week, or even day, ago when
there were about so joints running
openly, all of which were equipped
with the finest fixtures.
The citizens committee has made
all the necessary arrangements for
the enforcement of order rcga riding
the joints, and viii insist that the or
der be carried out to the let .er, and
that every drinking place be closed
and the stock and fixtures removed
from the city by next Friday noon.
The condition of public sentiment
in Topeka tonight is sometl ing re-
markablc There has never been any
thing here approaching it. The Wig
lance committee is ready to move on
very short notice.
