Kansas Weather.

The report of the Signal Service for
the past week shows large rainfall
and exceptionally severe winds. The
results upon the vegetation of the State
are summarized as follows;
The strong wind of the 9Th influenced
vegetation more than all other ele-
nlents combined. Although its relative
humidity varied from y to so per cent.
of saturation, it blighted many of the
leaves of fruit trees and grape vines by
abstracting their moisture SO much
more rapidly than it could be restored
by the circulation. The leaves curled
up, the edges and tips turned black as
though touched 0y fire or frost, and
crumbled when taken hold of; the fine,
loose Kansas soil was drifted in many
plowed fields like snow, thus clearing
out the crops in some parts of field
and effectually covering it in other
parts. In the southern counties where
some wheat was in bloom, in many in
stances the bloom has been knocked off
and the heads beaten around until they
present very dilapidated appearance.
The rains in the central and western
counties were timely and beneficial;
and the same applies in the southern
where an opportunity for work was
needed. Cotton planting has COM
menced in the southern tier where
strawberries are ripe and cherries turn
ing red. Glover is beginning to bloom
in Coffey and will soon be cut for hay.
Outside of the wind the weather has
been very beneficial and all crops, gen.
orally, have made rapid growth.

Much Moisture.

How it did rain! From Saturday
night about . o'clock steadily, quietly
down it poured for twenty-four hours.
Every foot of land in the county was
soaked until it could absorb no more.
The gullIes became running brooks, the
streams little rivers and the meadows
ponds. The south part of the county
received rather more than the central
and north but all received a great suffi-
cheney. There could not be a more
prosperous outlook for the agricultural
districts. The wheat is entirely safe
and it can be predicted that the largest
yield in years will be harvested, The
coin, of course, has only commenced to
grow and the summer months will
decide its destiny. The oats are, like
the wheat, assured beyond a doubt.
The chinch bug crop is the only one
that is luined-that seems to be en-
entirely drowned out.
Dickinson is all right, She will not
only be part of the Golden Belt this
year but will be whole gold-cOvered,
acknowledgements set of regalia in
herself

Worthy Workmen.

The lodge of a. o. u. W. had al en-
joyable meeting last evening. The
occasion was not special one but as
there was considerable work before the
organization for that evening invita-
lions had been extended to the breth-
rem of other lodges to attend and assist
in the ceremonies. The Solomon lodge
responded well, sending the following
visitors: Ed n King, H J G Neumil-
Ter, W T Shane, Phil Gardner, DR.
Rolling, Jas Barrett, w L Wizard, Jas
NJ Ewing, B K Sanford. The Enter
prise brothers were in some manner
prevented from coming.
After the exercises fruit luncheon
was spread in the lodge room and all
had hearty and excellent feast. The
jolliest time imaginable is reported by
those fortunate enough to be present.
The Abilene lodge is one of the
strongest in the state and is rapidly
gaining in inau ence. This we are
glad to see. as it deserves the success
that is attending it.

CHAPMAN Cuttings.

The pretty little town that lies at
the eastern base of Indian hill in East
Dickinson has a more prosperous out
look today than many places Of five
times its size. There was time when
Chapman had standstill class of bust
ness men, when the best interests of
the town were sacrificed for their in
dividual welfare and the city got bad
name for enterprise and advancement.
But a new class of citizens have come
in and are working indefatigably for
the prosperity of the city. They are
doing all in their power to make Chap
man rank among the Invest, busiest
and most thriving cities of Central
Kansas and are succeeding.
New houses are going up in all parts
of the city, old ones are being reftted
and repainted and a general air of
prosperity seems to pervade the vicin-
ity. A talk with Messrs. Jennings
and Mitchell, the live proprietors of
the lumber yard, say that their sales
are picking up right along. Among the
improvements is Postmaster Russell's
new postoffice building, which will be
one of the neatest and best arranged
offices in the county, Mr.. Russell is
the right man Tor the position OF post
master and will give Chapman an ad-
ministration of which they may be
proud. Another man who deserves
especial mention is Mr.. Hogaboom, the
genial manager of the creamery, who
is making a deserved success of that
industry, Of course that public
spirited citizen, MI. A. j. Poor, who
has always worked with an eye single
to Chapman, must not be forgotten;
nor should we omit to mention the
hard working city clerk and editor,
Mr.. J. II. Engle, who has done much
to keep Chapman before the public.
Indeed every issue of the Courier is a
''bOOm" edition.
Dozens of other gentlemen equally
worthy of mention could be spoken of
did space permit. The high school
which opens next September will bring
large number of young ladies and
gentlemen to the city to be trained in
the higher branches of education.
They will prove valuable addition to
Chapman's population and will assist
in making stick the title that the
Courier claims, "the Cambridge of the
county"

Jail Breakers.

This morning as Jailer J. p. Simp-
son was attending to the prisoners in
the county jail, three of the inmates
became obstreperous and attempted to
escape. They were Mack, Ryan and
Turner, who are in for petit larceny
committed at Herington. While
Simpson was having Mack sweep the
cells, Mack butted him in the stomach,
partly knocking him down, and made
a break for liberty as did the other
two prisoners. Simpson could not
stop Mack but he knocked Turner and
Ryan down with the keys and locked
them in their cells.
Mack ran down Cottage avenue and
hid under the porch of Harvey Strick-
ler's house where he was discovered by
III. C. Lower and Chas. Kessinger and
captured. Upon being taken he re.
marked, ''You are a hard set of fellows
to escape FROM" and he had indeed
found it so.
Jailer Simpson deserves much credit
for the hard fight he made and his
success in holding two of the three
men when he was alone pitted against
them, Sheriff NALL and Under Sheriff
Ellison being engaged in packing the
Morse stock of goods over in town
They were telephoned for and arrived
breathless at the finish.

different times made partial cash pay

different times made partial cash pay
ments on the notes given with these
mortgages, which of course is not
shown by the county records. The
total loss incurred by Lebold, Fisher &
Co. will probably not exceed $4,000.
Mr.. w. S. Hodge comes out more for
tunately than was at first thought.
Although Bessey has at various times
borrowed large sums from him, at the
crash the account had been straight
ened up and Mr.. Hodge only loses In
connection with II. S. Tisdale & Co.,
of which firm he is a member, the
amount reaching about $40. Wahl
& Son claim to be all safe and there
are other over-estimates. Nothing can
be learned of Mr.. Bessey's whereabouts
and it is scarcely likely that he will be
found. One who is shrewd enough to
plan and carry out a long line of fraud
ulent transactions, so ingeniously con-
trived as to deceive our most acute
business men, is not man to be easily
overhauled. Just what will be done
in the matter by the losers is uncertain.
1t will be several days before all the
details in the matter can be given and
it can be decided what action is best
to take. Meanwhile public feeling
runs high against Mr.. Bessey, not only
for his treacherous financial actions
but his base desertion of his family
and hypocritical christian professions.

Burton at Topeka.

The State Journal has the following
highly complimentary remarks concern
ing the address Of Hon. j. R. Burton
before the State Republican League:
Hon. J. r. Burton was then intro
duced by the chairman. The mention
of the Abilene orators name was the
signal for calls of 'Burtonl" 'BurtonI''
from, ali parts Of the house. The pres
ideHt regretted the unavoidable absence
of Hon. John M. Thurston, of Ne
braska, president of the Republican
League, who was expected to be present
but in announcing Mr.. Burton he con-
graduated the audience that there was
present Kansas orator who could fill
his place acceptably. Few men in the
State are as popular as Mr.. Burton,
and the applause with which his name
was received was evidence that the
audience was not disappointed.
