Ark, gave away after strenuous Efforts
to hold it had proved futile. The break
was, therefore, not unexpected At :
o. m, the crevasse was $50 feet in width
with the water rushing through to the
depth of six feet. The levee was feet

Ottery bayou and thence into Bayou

Early this morning the wind III
creased in violence, and the waves
washing over the tops of the levces
near Lake Providence created quite 4
panic among the people living behind
them. The gauge this afternoon stands
4l.7. @ above the last high water with
about ten inches of levee above the
liquid. though in many places sacks
filled with earth are being used to keep
the water from running over. Great
anxiety is felt there.

On the northern coast Of California,

very high hills. running to a distance of
about three miles. then turning out

Jewell City Republican: If any one
has any doubts about the locality of the
greatest corn country in the world, let
him look at the last report Of the state
board Of agriculture and he will find
Jewell county IN the lead, as usual, with
4,7O3, $50 bushels. while the next in the
list is Smith on the west, with 1886, $50,
and third comes Republic. on the east,
with 3,S75,2S0 bushels. The three next
in order are Nemaha, with 3,646,848,
Cowley, with 3,582,63 and Sedgwick,
with 3,503.444. Thus it will be seen
that this county, with those lying on
each side, produces 1,s01,768 bushels
more corn than any other three counties
in the state, although planting 1908
less acres.

Comparing Congresses.

WASHINGTON. D. c., December 2S.-The
present session of the Flfty-secord congress
is not quite up to the holiday record of the
short session of the Fifty-first congress. The
house has so far passed the army bill and
reported only the Notifications bill.
When the holiday recess OF the Fifty-frst
congress was taken the army and navy bills
had been reported, and the fertilization and
pension bills had been reported and passed,
besides small deficiency bill carrying with
it an appropriation of almost half million
of dollars Immediately upon the assem-
bling of the senate after the recess the army
bill will be reported and called up at an
early day. The total amount of this bill as
it passed the house was S2i, -, 639, with an
estimate of $25, 90, 955.
The bill, a. it passed the house. was ST.
725. 3l5 less than the estimate. and Sic, $50
less than the appropriation last year. The
bill, as soon az it came over from the house,
was sent to the secretary of war, and the
action of the senate in making increases will
depend upon the report made to the COM
mittee by the war department..

the big poultry man Of Vicksburg
township. purchased j. II. Woollen's
farm, one mile west of Burr Oak, Mon
day morning, paying $4,000 for the
same. Mr.. Elliot will stock the farm
with hens, in which he has found more
profit than in grain or stock.
Cove City Gazette: A. d. Kerr, hav-
ing finished sowing wheat, returned to
his home in Red Oak, Ia, Monday.
The company of which Mr.. Kerr is
president have put in about 5000 acres
of wheat IN the county this fall. They
will ship in an additional force of men
and teams in February and break out
between 5000 and 1000 acres more
ground next spring.
Cedar Vale Star: E. NJ. Cole has 80
head of calves and yearling heifers on
feed, had them on clover pasture up to
December 1, the pasture being fine till
about that time. There is thirty five
acres OF alfalfa on the place, it is the first
sowed in the country and is holding out
as we'll as ever. This summer there was a
little foxtail grass in it but the last cut
ting seemed to put the alfalfa ahead
again.

than it is now, you may depend upon
that, because there are enough wellto-
do farmers right here on the lookout for
bargains who will snap up every piece
that drops below the ruling price; and
what pieces there are in this section
that have been bought in on foreclosure
have, with very few exceptions, already
gone into the hands of home-makers.
Cedar Vale Star: n. G. Marsh sowed
sixty acres to alfalfa this year thirty in
the spring and thirty this fall, and has
an excellent stand on all but about 81
acres. He lost about 5 acres in the
spring on wet, spouty land, drowned
out, and the gaasshoppers took about
half an acre for him this fall along the
edge of fall sowed field, but the rest
is looking extra we'll. He now has the
Wakefield place all down in alfalfa that
has ever been plowed. He is fixing for
fattening cattle at a lower cost than by
straight corn feeding
Cedar Vale Star: William White had
forty head of l, 251-pound cattle on the
market the 10th that brought him 81. 10.
They were the tops out OF 215 head
not the heaviest but the best fatted.
They are described as nice, blocky fol-
lows. He bought them in Kansas City
a year ago, they weighing right at 800
pounds then.-The horse market is next
to no market at all this winter, but
William Burden sold a span of 900
pound 3-year-old horses to George Ray
last week for $40, and L. N. Case

and considerably heavier, to Webster

than the eastern or western market
would afford.

CatChingS' Ideas,

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 2s.-''We
can frame tariff bill which will save from
500 to $50 a year to every family of five
persons" said Congressman Catchlngs, OF
Mississippi. s.In that case. small tax on
sugar would not be felt by the people, The
proposition to retaN this commodity would,
l suppose, meet with considerable opposi-
ton at the outset, but as it is the net result
which must be looked at and. as the saving
to the people would be much greater on
other things. I think that tariff on sugar
affords the best means of raising a large
revenue without at the same time imposing
a burden which would be felt"

Business All Burned.

SLATER, Mo-, December 2s.-The business
portion of this little city was visited by a
disastrous fire and before the flames could
be controlled twelve of the leading mercan-
tile houses were in ruins. The total loss is
estimated at 100000, with an insurance of
SIS. 900.
The fire was unmanagesble from the start,
az the town has no waterworks. In the citi-
zens' effort to make vacancy between the
buildings an attempt was made to blow up
one of them. which broke over $1,000 of
plate glass out of the buildings on the oppo-
site side of the street. Although none of
the material of the Rustler Office was saved,
it will be published on time this week.
