Kansas Weather.

The signal service report for the past
week reports a rainfall above the aver
age in all parts of the state but the ex-
treme western. The temperature has
ranged slightly below the normal in the
east and above i'll the west.
The favorable effects of the weather
are most marked in the extreme west
where the face Cf nature has been
transformed; the grass is again green,
ponds are full of water, hay is assured,
new potatoes are being marketed,
wheat and rye are being harvested and
the farmers are encouraged. The past
week has improved the oats crop over
the entire state, in large portion of
which it promises a greater yield than
that of last Year. The wheat is excel
lent, it being so heavy as to require
from four to six horses to work the
binders. Wheat harvest is now in
progress i'll nearly every county. In
the south home grown peaches and ap-
pies are in the market. The heavy
floods did much damage in Butler and
Bourbon. In Butler the Walnut river
overlooked Sunday morning, flooding
the valley to depth of eight feet,
much wheat in shocks was swept into
the river, from which the farmers are
now gathering and drying it. In Bour-
bon where the enormous rainfall of
$50 inches occurred in twenty-four
hours, 24O of which fell i'll two hours
and 40 in another two hours, all the
crops Ill the Marmaton river and Mill
creek bottoms are more or less dam
aged; some fields being washed out
and others being covered up.

County Commissioners.

The county commissioners were in
session Saturday; the following are the
proceedings of the meeting:
The n J of n ! of section S4.12-2
being enormously assessed for 1855, it
being the homestead of G. A. Bates,
the county treasurer was ordered to re-
fund the amount of error.
The assessment on of n e !, 34-12-
2, the tree claim of o. L. Bates, was
ordered stricken from the rolls.
An erroneous assessment of 1920
on G. KaSsabaum, Industry, was &C
knowledged and the county treasurer
ordered to refund tax, $56.6S.
1t appearing to the satisfaction of the
board that the Herington Water ant
Electric Light Co. was enormously as
sessed for 1888, a motion that the val
uation lie fixed at $4,000 was carried
and the clerk ordered to comput,

Base Ball Talk.

Stlina Republican: The Salina hall
club have a very good opinion of the
Lott brothers, of Abilene, as battery,
and compliment them on their playing
very highly.
The business men of Abilene are
giving the ball club much encourage
ment both in words and cash.
Shipe's street-car line enjoys boom
when there is ball game on hand.
CIV. Topping, of Enterprise, and
Carl Whitman were conversing yester-
day in regards to having d game of ball
at Enterprise on the Fourth of July.
-[Salina Republican.
Enterprise and Salina can play a
very even game; both are inferior to
Abilene.
The Woodbine Tidings starts in on
base ball matters with the proposition
that the Abilene boys wanted some En-
terprise players to help them defeat
Salina. Nathan is a good healthy liar
if he is minister; he should have in
telligence enough to know that abb
lene asks no odds of her neighbors on
base ball matters.
st. Louis leads the Association
record with record of 81 games won
this season and IL lost. The Athletics
are second and Brooklyn third. In the

Philadelphia follow. Chicago's giants
have fallen to fifth place and it is un.
likely that they will get within sight of
the pennant this season.

Elected at Horton.

The following from the columns of
an exchange, the Horton (Kas.) Head
light, will be of interest to our readers:
The board of education, at its meet
ing Tuesday night, elected Prof. Ora
ham, of Abilene, as superintendent of
the Horton public schools for the en-
suing year. Prof. Graham is an old
friend of Scott Hopkins, of the First
National bank, both being students of
the Kansas State university at the
same time, and ranks high as an edu-
Gator. Miss Mollie Gray, of Troy, and
Miss Matte Williams, of F0ntanelle,
Iowa, were also chosen teachers.
Mr.. Graham is to be congratulated
upon securing so good position. Hor-
ton has a population Of about 5000
and is growing rapidly, thus giving its
new superintendent an opportunity for
an increasing salary in the future.

A letter from Rev. J. a. Bright to

RAISING series of misfortunes on the
way from Abilene to New York City.
While going through Pennsylvania he
was robbed of his valise containing his
best clothes and all of his money, thus
leaving him and George in rather pitt
full plight. Kind friends assisted
them however, and they gathered to-
gether enough supplies to enable them
to set sail for London on the 10Th inst.

Is Picking Potato Bugs

The case of Crazy John who is con-
fined in the Jail is a particularly sad
one. The poor boys head has never
been very strong and recently he has
been worse than usual. During the
last few weeks he has been picking
potato bugs and his insanity has taken
the form of imagining that potato bugs
are everywhere about him and he must
pick them. So he goes about picking
the imaginary insects in way that is
most sad TO witness.

READY FOR HARVEST.
The City Mills Enlarge Their Facili
ties for Wheat Handling.

The approach of the harvesting OF
the largest crop of wheat and oats ever
known in Dickinson county has neces-
STATED better facilities for caring for
the grain product in this vicinity.
The REFLECTOR this morning looked
over the newly fitted up city mills on
East Third street and found them
neatly ready for work again.
The company has added to its al
ready complete milling apparatus some
of the newest and most improved ma
chinery manufactured and has one of
finest equipped mills in Kansas.
Among the new appliances are 5 double
scalpers, 2 bran busters, 6 flour bolts,
packers, IL sets of rollers and puri-
iers, all of the Spring Creek make.
manufactured by Aug. Heine. They
are the most perfect machines for
f1our-making made and will do fine
work. There has also been put in a
large amount OF tubing and many new
conveyors made necessary by the addi-
ton of machinery. The whole value
of the Improvements will be between
81, ZOO and s., 1000 and will increase the
capacity of the mill from its old
schedule of IS barrels per day to 40
barrels. The company will add to
their milling business the purchase of
wheat for shipment and expect to do
an immense trade as there will be such
a large crop to handle.
The genial managers, MesSrs. S. A.
Flepner, P. r. Pitts and P. J. Stod-
dard, are, with their force of assistants,
working hard to get the mill ready for
operations and expect that the steam
can be turned on Monday, July LIST.

laveras river, captured a deer one day, and
at once became the heroine of the county
The girl heard some dogs barking in the direc-
ton of the river, and ran down to where the
dogs had buck deer bayed in a hole of
water She returned to the house, and the
only weapon she could find was a butcher
knife. Her presence encouraged the dogs,
and when she reappeared on the scene the
dogs sprang at the deer, and with the aid Of
Addie the buck was thrown, and in less time
than it will take to tell the story the deer's
throat was cut from ear to ear. Addie says
it was 10 small task to hold the animal down
with its throat cut, for she knew that to let
go of the buck before it was dead would en-
danger her own life.-San Andreas Call

Dougherty's guests roared at this story, for
he had told it as it can never be made to APP

A FUNNY WORLD,
This world is very funny,

This world is very funny,
For no matter how much money
Man is earning he will spend it, and be hard up all
the time;
To his utmost he is straining
To catch up, without attaining,
Till he makes his life burden when it should be
bliss sublime
He who earns a thousand merely
Thinks two thousand yearly
Would be just the figure to make happiness COM
plete;
But his income when il doubles
Only multpes his troubles,
For his outgo then increasing makes his both
ends worse to meet.
II is run in debt and borrow,
Flush today and broke tomorrow;
Financiering every which way to postpone the day
OF doom:
Spending money ere he makes it,
And then wondering what takes it,
Till he giving up the riddle, looks for rest within
the tomb
Oh, this world is very funny
To the average man whose money
Doesn't quite pay for the dancing that he does be-
fore he should;
And he kills himself by trying
Just little higher flying
Than is suited to his pocket and his own eternal
good.

The Mine IA Girl Discovered.

was discovered two years ago by Miss Nina
InSraham, a stepdaughter of Mr.. Meylette.
Wandering out from camp one day, she re-
turned with few specimens which she had
picked up. Her mother deemed them worth
investigation, and the same afternoon Miss
Ingraham went with her father in quest of
the place where she had found the ores.
Clambering up the side of a cliff with the
grace of a mountain gazelle, she stopped
down and marked the spot just as the sun
was sinking behind the distant ridge of the
Elk range. A discovery stake" had been
prepared, and was Immediately set up on the
spot. About fifteen months ago this claim
was leased and bonded to the Gillespie
Brothers, who at once organized the Sunset
