The greatest and most appalling
disaster of the nineteenth century oc-
Cured in Pennsylvania at Johnstown
on June I'd. A great dam in one of
the valleys gave wa;, and volume
of water forty feet high came pouring
down carrying everything before it.
Cities. villages, railroad trains, every
thing in its course, were swept to to-
tai destruction. It is said that the
lives of 10000 people were lost in the
awful flood. To crown all, tire broke
out in the wreck floating on the river,
and thousands of people were burned
to death. Such calamity has never
occurred on this continent before.
Ashtabula and CAatsworth pale into
insignifcance by the side of it. Great
sums for the relief of the suffering
survivors are being rapidly raised and
sent in. The exact number lost will
never be known.

Laura Bridgman, the famous blind
and deaf mute, died at the Perkins in
stitute in Boston last Friday after
noon at the age of sixty. She was a
remarkable woman, who for fifty eight
years lived and enjoyed more or less
happiness without the aid of the phys.
ical senses. She was born at HanOv.
er, New Hampshire, in the year 1929,
and at the age o! 2 years was depriv-
ed by sickness of sight, hearing and
speech. The senses of taste and smell
only were left her, and they were more
or less impaired. She was taken in
hand by competent instructors, and
taught through the sense of touch a
knowledge of the world and of PEG.
pie. Owing to the progress she made
with the aid of one sense, that oa
touch, she became an object of great
curiosity to scientists. both in this
country and in Europe.

boring town as being the ''deadest
town in Kansas" ALI the towns of
Kansas are ''dead" if you refer to a
slack in business. And it is well for
the state that they are 'dead'' just
now. The farmers are the ''salt of the
earth in Kansas. They are busy cul-
tivating their crops, and are not spen-
ding much time in town. Wait until
next fall, when they begin marketing
their products, if you want to see all

Locking at fine lands.

A party of agents Of the land depart
ment of the Union Pacific Road arrived
in Mammal tan from Omaha ut noon on
the 9Th inst :, took dinner, had brief look
at the city, and went west at 9:15 p. m.
The editor of the Homestead being the
oldest land agent on the line of the I. +.
that is the one having been longest in
continuous service-accOmpanied the
party.
The country was new to some of them
and interesting to all; and much valuable
information was gained by the visit.
These men will sell the lands more read
lily from having actually visited them,
and no doubt very large quantity will
be disposed of this year, as the Z. p. has
the only desirable cheap lands now on
the market.
Our trip took us to Ellis, nearly 200
miles west of Manhattan, where we spent
the night. The next morning. Thursday,
we rode across the country north from
the main line twenty-six miles to PalcO,
on the Lincoln short line. The ride
brought to notice the general character
of the lands and also some of the prOba-
bilities in the way of improvements, and
was pleasant jaunt made in five very
comfortable carriages-at least it began
in five-but on the last five-mile stretch
careless driver made it necessary for
Col. Saunders's section of the party to
trade wagons with farmer HIS retl-
cence about the trade leaves us in ignOr-
ance as to what boot" may have been
required.
From PalcO We had a comfortable
chair car to Colby. 81 miles, over a fine
piece of road. Editor BOnnell insists

Colby had got wind of our coming, and
made use of the wind by meeting the
party at the depot with full band. un-
der escort of which we took possession
of the Opelt House, and were there re-
called with substantial supper, meal
that we highly appreciated.
Colby is no sleepy hollow place. 1t is
gathering was held in Masonic Hall,
dies, assembled, and an interchange of
welcome and responsive talks was had.
Thence to the hotel parlOr, where the
glee club gave lively programme of
song. A carriage drive around the city
and vicinity was had in the morning. and
altogether Colby pre- empted large
claim in our memories. We hope they
among US entertained angels unawares.
A special train pulled Us 81 miles to
Oakley. through beautiful region; and
at Oakley we rode about the country,
looking at the farms and railroad land:
and thence took the main line train to
Sharon Springs, county seat of Wallace
county, distant about 81 miles. In the
vicinity of Sharon Springs is some Of the
best wheat we have seen this year. One
field of 100 acres is especially fine. and it
proves that good wheat can be grown in
the extreme western part of Kansas. for
the Colorado line was but fifteen miles
away.
Some of the party went on to Denver.
but most of them returned by the main
line on Saturday, all well pleased with
the prospect for crops in Kansas, and
with the lay of the land.
We can only say these few words of
the trip, but it deserves fuller mention.
