The heaviest rain that has faller
here since the cyclone of May q fel
last Saturday afternoon, between fOul
and five O'Clock. For about thirty
minutes it seemed that all the watel
in the heavens was trying to get t.
the earth as quickly as possible. The
heavy rain extended east, north and
south Of here, but there was no rain
in the north and northwest part OF
the county at all. At Zyba the dust
was not laid. There was good rain
at Wichita and from there the storm
swung to the southeast, covering the
territory around Mulvane and Oxford.
After passing over this place, south
Sumner county got a good soaking.
The ground was put in excellent con-
ditiOn for fall'plOwing in the localities
favored by this heavy rain. At Belle
Plaine the dust was barely laid.

Thrown Into the Ditch.
LIMA, Ohio, July Am attempt was
made last night near here to wreck the
east bound Wells Fargo express train
on the Chicago & Erie road, which
was laden with a cargo of more than
usual value. The motive was robbery.
The following persons were injured:
HANsMAN, w. p. 1916 Indiana avenue, Chi
cago; leg and back hurt
HANsEMAN, J. O.. $40 Michigan avenue, Chi
cago; rib broken and right shoulder bruised.

Train No. IA is due at Markle, Ind,
at $40 p. M, and left here on time
last night. When two miles east Of
here and running at the rate of fifty
miles an hour the engineer discovered
two ties laid across the track He ap-
piled the brakes, but the engine
struck the ties and left the track,
followed by ten coaches. En-
gineer Foley and his fireman
jumped and escaped with slight in
juries. Conductor Strader telegraphed
to Huntington and another engine and
some baggage and express cars were
sent from Huntington, and with the
two cars that had not left the track,
the train left Markle eleven hours late.
There is no question but the ties were
placed on the track by men who in
tended to wreck the train and then rob
it. Some time ago ties were placed Oh
the tracks near the Same place, but
they were discovered before the ex-
press train reached them.

A Word to the Elderly .

Among all the housekeeper women,

earnest, benevolent, and spiritual, there
must always be some who are getting past

looking longiugly at the quiet waters be-
yound the boiling, eddying wildly hurrying
tide against which they have for years
bravely battIed Dear women, growing
old, don't imagine that because you are
fifty, sixty, or even seventy, that now
your rowing days are over, and you may
complacantly rest on your oars. How
many women lose what brightness there is
for the evening of life-and there is a
brightness peculiar to every period OF
ones existense-by giving up! They give
up their aims after mental improvement,
their pleasurdble pursuits Of art, fancy
work, or reading poetry, fearful least such
things may not comport with their self
made standard of quiet, idle, selfish elder
illness, state'into which a natural inclina-
ton invites them to drop themselves.
They give up the missionary society work,
the Sunday school. and the temperance
with easy good nature, hiding themselves
under the cloak of age, which they believe
will piously repel every consclence-thrust
every protest.

her with some old ladies seen of late, who
