The great Fourth of July celebra-

have been given by the business
men Of Mexico and to which only
s27.14 was subscribed by the afore-
said b. m. has been turned over to

RAINFALL EXTRAORDINARY.
A Phenomenal DOwnpOur In Lyon
County, Kansas.

TorEKA, Kas., July 2.-Superin.
tendent Jennings of the Weathe,
Bureau, who was despatched to the
scene of the late Santa Fe wreck in
Lyon county by the Government,
returned to-day with a story that
seems almost incredible. A water.
spout washed out the bridge on the
Santa Fee and in three hours time
over 10 inches of rain fell. A corn
field i'll the flooded district was 1O
feet under water, and the debris from
the swollen Streams was lodged Is
feet up in the trees. The people liv-
ing in the vicinity of the storm were
greatly frightened, and there is hard
ly a house that was not flooded by
the water. The strangest thing about
the storm is that no one can account
for it. There was no low barometer
on the day preceding, and Super
intendent Jennings is at loss to find
any cause for the phenomenal fall of
rain. The storm covered a distance
of % miles long and about s miles

SAM JONES AT SEDALIA.
As Usual, He Poured Hot Shot Into
the Local Clergy.

SEDALIA, Mo-, July 2.-Twenty-
five hundred people tried to crowd
into the big tent at Association Park
this morning to hear Sam Jones
preach his first sermon to the Chau-
tauquans. He took for his text,
"Choose ye this day whom We will
serve" and spoke for n hour and
twenty minutes. He made the point
that man must choose between right
and wrong before he can ever be-
come a true Christian, and declared
that God could not make man bet
ter unless he himself so elects. MIR.
Jones gave the local clergy a rap
over their opposition to open gates
and an admission fee on Sunday.
He reminded them that they had
been fishing for months in the same
hole and had not got even a'nibble,
and said: eff l was in your place
| would hunt another hole or change
the bait" He then told the clergy.
men that in a square fight between
the Sedalia churches and saloons the
churches would come out second
best. Tonight the celebrated preach
er took up the saloon question and
poured a broadside into temperance
advocates for allowing hell to exist
in so close proximity to this city
This afternoon the Schumann quar-.
tette delighted a large audience in a
grand concert, and Rev. Frank Lenie
preached the afternoon sermon to 8
large audience.

Hogs Pay.

FROM tue LOUISIANA fTesS.
Some time ago We spoke Of two
sows owned by II. S. Jones, of neal
this place, which were uncommonly
prolific, producing 10 and II pigs
respectively at a time. lie informs
us that in July last the same sows
brought 20 pigs, of which he sold
ten for $50, keeping the other ten.
OF the filters they brought in Febru-
airy, he sold - at 8 months, for $56,
giving two away. He has saved
from these two sows alone, in ten
months $119 worth of pigs and kept
II. Had they all been sold at prices
obtained, they would have brought
$1S1. 1t pays to raise hogs and
Henry is evidently making his two
sows bring him in more money than
the best brood mare on his place.
Who can beat this for hog raising?

TORN BY WILD o q
A 3.Year-Old Child Probably Fatally
Injured.

CORNING, Ark, July IA most
horrible accident occurred to day
near Moark, a station on the Iron
Mountain road near the Missouri
line and six miles from this place.
Two small children of J. III. Hurst,
one aged 5 years and the other 3,
were attacked by wild hogs. Thei,
screams attracted the attention O,
some passers-by, who ran to theil
assistance, but before they could
be rescued the younger one was
terribly torn and mangled and nc
hope is entertained for its recovery.
The hogs showed fight on the
approach of the rescuers and they
in turn were attacked by them and
with difficulty ESCAPED.

The peach crop, after all, says
|Colman's Rural World, is going
to be larger in the west and south
than anybody expected. Texas
has a large supply and Arkansas
and Tennessee claim nearly a full
crop. Mississippi and Georgia
have about full crops. Southern
illinois reports but little damage
while Missouri is certain of a half
crop or more.

The Fair Attendance In June.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, june 30.-About
100000 adults and children paid
their way into the grounds during
