LAWRENCE, Kan, July 26.-Law-
renee has seen better days. Her era,
of progress is on the decline.
For the last few days up to this morn
ing it has been raining most all of
the time, The Kaw river is within one
foot of the high water mark of last
May and within two and a half feet
of the highest period since 1877,
The mayor and city marshal are
trying to clean out the gang of tramps
that infest the depot and suburbs of
the city, as numerous crimes and mis-
demeanOTS are committed daily and
in broad day light, and they are even
becoming SO bold as to infeSt some of
the principle streets to carry on their
dark deeds and then take to the brush.
Most of the outlawry is committed by
the colOred hoodIums, and although
they are being ''sent up" at the rate of
three or four day, their numbers do
not seem to decrease.
The surveyors are at work on the
Carbonate branch, raising the grades
etc, while men are at work laying stee-
| rails, ballaSting and cutting weeds.
We understand the surveyors are lOcatl
| ing the route west of CarbOndale and
1
are assured the road will be pushed on
to Wichita and speedily completed.
The town is very pleasantly located
| and contains many nice residences,
| among whom we noticed Judge Usher

see Streets the pleasantest walk in
the city. The Haskell institute, and
the university buildings, especially
Snow hall will well repay the pleasure
seeker, the time consumed in visiting
them. From the top of the university
asgood Birds eye view of the city pro-
| per can be taken, as well as North and
| SouthrLawrence and the surrounding
country. with its winding streams,
can be seen from 20 to 80 miles. The
style of the business houses with a few
exceptions) with their wooden awning
in front does not impress any one very
forcibly with the progress of the city:
no. even tender foot
from a town like EmpQIia.
The city finances are in dilapidated
condition and the immediate prospects
for their recuperation is rather doubt
full.
There is no lack of shade trees and
many of our western towns might do
well to emulate the example of the his
toric city in that direction.
There is some talk of a new daily be-
ing started in the city.

VIM. Graffenstien one of the most
prominent fruit growers and farmers
in this part of the state was in town
Saturday evening and gave us quite
description of the fury of the storm at
his place Thursday night. About 8
o'clock in the evening it began hailing
and blowing at terrific rate, though
the hail stones were small. and after
keeping this up for some time, heavy
rain began to fall. In the morning
when Mr.. Graffenstein went out to
look after his fruit, he found the
ground literally covered with apples,
peaches and pears. lie has very
large orchard and estimates his loss in
fruit at the least estimate, 900 bush
els and he thinks perhaps 800 bushels.
His trees were also damaged some,
and his corn was very badly twisted
and blown down. Other farmers in
his neighborhood suffered like loss
though not SO heavy.

Some of the richest women are the
least extravaganza in their clothes, as is
the case, fof example, with old Mrs.
W. H. Vanderbilt, who does not spend
above 81 900 year, and the late Mrs.
Goul not so much. Nelly Gould, who
will inherit $15. zoo, 900 or 800, OOO, 600,
and already has an income of $40, 600 a
year, spends about $500 in dress.
The late Mrs. A. T. Stewart was for
tune to the dressmakers, who put
away SIS, 900 or $4,000 a year on her
furbelows. When she died and an in
ventory of her effects was taken her
great white mausoleum of house on
Fifth avenue was found to be over
run with the most marvellous amount
of clothes, laces, furs, bonnets and
jewels, most of them very youthful in
appearance, though she was over 20
years of age. Mrs. Astor dresses with
solemn, handsome expensiveness at
the cost of $4,000 or 81 600 year, and
all the younger Vanderbilt women
spend great deal of money on their
clothes. Mrs. George Gould, who was
Edith Kingdom, the actress, who has
been the quietest and most careful of
women since her marriage, spends
money like water when it comes to a
question of clothes, and must put a
good SIC, 900 year in the hands of the
dressmakers. Her dressmaker, by the
way, is woman who thought good
deal of social position, but'who, when
financial misfortune came. followed the
example of English women of rank have
set of late years, and went into the
millin er's business.

The Republicans of Taylorsville, it
will be remembered, celebrated the
election of Harrison by q grand pos
sum supper, at which the offices were
-parceled out. The public is familiar
with the story that some son of Belial
wrung in q cat on the banqueters in
stead of one of the 'possums, and that
Nh. Linney Jared sumptuously on est
and that Mart Fincannon came into
town day or two afterwards as mad
as Tucker at the patriots" who bad
eaten up his cat. Hear the sequel !:
A cat boarded the Junebug train at
Taylorsville last Saturday morning
and took up quarters in the mail car.
At Adams saw mill the train stopped
for lumber and the cat, having no
ticket, was elected. It thereupon hop
ped up on the trucks and went thro'
to Charlotte. There can be but one
explanation of the incident: II was
