ATCHIseN, Kas.. April IS "A fearful
rain fell in this section tonight. The
Oldest inhabitants say such q storm was
never before known IN Kansas. Il be-
gan TO fall at sc, and for nearly an
hour 1t came down in q food, and was
accompanied by fierce thunder and light
ming. The streets of the city were run
alng streams from curb TO curb in fifteen
minutes The roar of the storm as il de.
scended upon the earth resembled
mlildam, and added TO the confusion.
Several houses were struck By liahaning

through the center OF the city, was al

ing IN some localities 800 yards
wide. The stream was never
known to fise to such a height before.
Dwelling houses which have for years
stood high and dry many feet above its
greatest flood, were surrounded by the
water, and in many cases caught by the
current and carried down the stream.
The flood for short time rose two or
three feet in height, and the occupants
OF houses in low lying grounds had to
fee for safety, abandoning their
household goods to be swept away
Numerous highways are gone and many
more are damaged So far as reporte i
the railroads do not suffer. The mer-
chants suffer Losses by flooded Ct liars

While the rain was very heavy,
the great flood in White Clay creek was
no doubt caused by a water spout, which
evidently broke west of the city. The
damage by lightning was unimportant.
The Baptist church, the barn of DR.. Lib

PUSHING THINGS

A number OF informAtions were filed
Friday In the court of Justice Fletcher
against parties for violating the pro
hibItorY law, and dates for hearings
have been assigned. The officers have
been gathering evidence and il is under
stood that material for successful prose
cutions will be forthcoming. This
paper has frequently admonished the
liquor vendors of this city that In pur-
suing their Illicit traffic they we're act
ing in defiance of a public sentiment
which they cannot hope to outrage with
out certaiu punishment, and the action
OF ths authorities In making the raid
which they have upon the saloons is in
pursuance OF popular demand that will
make itself felt as long "a the law con
tinues to b. violated.
The parties engaged IN selling liquor
In EmpOrIa, have, again and again, when
hard pressed by the law, agreel 10
cease their infamous traffic, and by
virtue of thess promises they have Ella
joycd much greater cleme ncY than they
have ever deserved. The bad faith due
played on their part indicates tae pro-
priety now of decisive. vigorous poll
cy, which Will admit of no temaoriz-
ing. The sale Of inioxlcat-
ing liquors is as mu.h
OF a crime in the eyes of the law as ar
son, burglary, larceny OF any other
penal offersr, and there is no reason
why the means provided for ITS sup
preston should MT prove as Elective as
those prescribed for the punishment oil
the incebdiarY and the rUboer.
The liquor element can no
longer raise tae cry OF per
secuiioD. They have been given
every chance which could be asked
even by them for escaping the extreme
p,nalty of the law, and they have only
taken advantage oil these conditions TO
multiply their offrnses. Let this tact be
remembered in the prosecutors that are
pending, and let the saloonisis be made
to fesl that there is limit to the for
bearsnce OF a long suffering people.

this city, the winner of the
first prize at the state oratnTIcal
contest at L1wr,nce, ard arrangements
haYe been male fer another contest to
be held at Baldwin City April 23i.
We believe this accusation to be uajust
first, because the Grafton delivered by
Mr.. Mays is not above the measure of
the capsbilit es which he has displayed
In like efforts IN the past. We believe The
accusation groundless because the effort
was passed upon By Mr.. Eugene Ware,

the charge preferred again t him because
he so declares Inns, If and this will
stand as a vindicIation with all who
know anything OF his integrity ami fine

We have every ieason t. believe that
