KANSAS CITY, KAN, DRY.
Trickett Successful in His Campaign
Against the Illegal Joints
Fight to Continue.

Kansas City, Kan, July EVERY
saloon in Kansas City, Kan, was
closed tightly Saturday, and at the
club houses of the Elks and Eagles
no liquor was sold. Assistant Attor-
ney General Trickett's threat to de-
stroy the buildings used as joints had
proved effective. During the night the
bar fixtures and stocks of liquors were
removed from many places to the Mis-
souri, side. A dozen saloons in the
suburbs of Armourdale, Argentine and
Rosedale still remain open, but they
may eventually be closed. These lat
ter were operated by a Missouri brew
ing company now in the hands Of a
receiver, and Attorney General Trick
EFT wished to feel his ground before
proceeding against them. The fixtures
from enc saloon owned by this COM
pany had been destroyed by the sher-
iff, however, Notwithstanding threats
of the owner to secure a restraining
order from the federal court.

Salisbury, England, July 3.-Twenty

one of the worst railroad disasters that
has ever occurred in Great Britain.
The London & Southwestern steamer
express, carrying passengers from the
Southampton to London, met disaster
in this city while running about 70
miles an hour. The engine in rounding
a curve jumped the track, piling the
cars in a mass of wreckage 80 feet
high and smashing them to match
wood. Most Of the victims were
killed instantly.

# Cause of Disaster Unknown.
The scene of the disaster presented
little evidence Monday of the havoc
wrought by the wreck, all the wreck
age having been cleared away. The
engineering staff of the railroad COM
pany still are seeking an explanation
for the immediate cause Of the defail-
ment, but thus far have been unable
to do SO or are not ready to say to
what the catastrophe is attributable.
Every Independent effort to dsseover
the cause of the accident has thus faS
failed, and the. officials say they are
also In the dark. Railroad engineers,
experts and representatives of the cor
oner end board Of trade examined inch
by inch the rails on which the disas-
ter occurred, but apparently with no
result. The confusion was accumulated
by the death Of the engine driver and
stoker and the cGase of the derailment
will be enveloped in doubt, despite all
theories, until the board OF trade in
curry and the coroner's inquest are
concluded.
The courage of the injured persons
Is a dmiringly discussed All who par
ticipated in the work of rescue relate
instances of the patience of those who
were suffering from broken limbs,
their gratitude for the assistance rem
siered them and their words OF en-
couragement to the chair and stretcher
bearers. Only relatives of injured or
those representing them are admitted
to the infirmary, which for the first
time IN It's history has resorted to the
bulletin board system.
Critchell's Condition Critical.
No further deaths have been record
ed. but Robert S. Critchell, Of Chicago,
and Miss L. S. Griswold. Of Heath,
near Epson, passed bad night. Miss
Margaret Rask, of Norfolk street, Park
Lane. London, whose legs have been
amputated, are in dangerous condi-
ton at the infirmary.
The bodies of the dead are still in
the waiting rooms of tie railroad sta
ton. Where no relatives are avail
e5,e the Identification of the dead will
be made by the doctor and purser OF
the New York. The bodies of the
American victims are being embalmed
for conveyance home
The inquest on the bodies of the
victims al the railroad disaster wa:
adjourned for fortnight. The
coroner, mayor and the officials of the
railroad and of the American lint
expressed the deepest sympathy witt
the relatives and friends OF the killed
and injured.

Lincoln, Neh.. July 3.-The cloud
burst which flooded this vicinity Sum
day was the heaviest ever experienced
here and caused losses OF thousands of
dollars in Lincoln alone. In the bust

two feet deep, and the sewers being
unable to carry off such quantity, it
ran into the Easements of all the
stores, causing losses that range from
few hundred dollars to several thou

flooded and the water supply was al

heavy. All of the streams in south
