Normal opened Monday, June 3, with
an enrolment Of between 80 and 60, all
determined to "climb the rocks
though they be rugged" 1t was com
posed of men, young ladies and ladies
who had once been young. The ages
of the last two classes ranged from 10
to 1OO-nearly. The relative intelli-
gence of men and women was not COM
pleteIy settled, although an effort was
made in the physiology class to settle
it. In trying to determine this mo-
mentus question the instructor asked
one young man about the size of a
woman's brain as compared to a mans.
The gentleman answered correctly and
the instructor continued, "HOw about
the relative sizes of the hearth" Mis-
taking the word heart for hat, the
young man proceeded to make the fol-
lowing astounding statement; "The
size of ladies' depends upon the
style. Men and women wear them in
different places, and some wear none
at all"
/ The calisthenics exercises were con-
Quoted by Miss Norris and we're very
good, but one exceedingly bashful
young mans aversion to marching
double file" with a young lady caused
considerable amusement to all but the
aforesaid young man.
Miss Norris also had charge of the
singing exercises in the afternoon and
young men who had before imagined
! that there was no music in their souls
we're compelled by the instructor to
sing basssby notes, and so sang do me
sol" solo that it reached the sOies Of
their boots.
A mock congress was held early in
the session and Mi. Myers introduced
a bill providing for the government
ownership Of railroads. The reading Of
the bill was dispensed with on account
of the total eligibility Of the manu-
script Butth young ladies' all voted
! for the gOod-icoking members bill.
/ Nevertheless, the older ladies, by
I reason of their advanced age, being

the bill down in spite of the efforts Of

The weather prophets agree that the
winter of 1856 will be a long, cold,
''hard" winter over the whole of the
United States. The term "hard" as
applied to winter seasons is probably
of western origin and has reference to
frequent sudden changes that are very
severe on unsheltered animals.

MORE BIG SHOWERS.
Sherman County Gets a Drench-
ing Monday and Tuesday.
Two and One-Quarter Inches Of Dampness
Vets the Ground Down for Over Foot
Corn and Potatoes Doing WeIl-GFass
Growing Well.

Friday morning a drizzling rain set
in and continued all day and into the
night. Enough rain fell to put the
ground in good shape for taking the
water that was soon to come.
Monday morning early good shower
fell, continuing for about an hour. In
the afternoon it resumed and the rain
kept coming down in torrents until
Tuesday night.
Two and one-quarter inches of water
fell during the showers. The wheat
that has not been touched by the heat
will make good crop, averaging about
l3 bushels per acre. Corn, potato and
hay crops never has such prospects for
a banner crop since the beginning of
Sherman county history. Fodder crops
will certainly do we'll and a good many
acres will be put in. Taken altogether
the crop prospect is very good, much
better than was expected.

FOSTERS FORECASTS.


Weather Predictions For the Next Ten
Days.
My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent from
June 30 to July 4, and the next will
reach the Pacific coast about July 5,
cross the west Of Rockies country by
close of the 9th, great central valley
18th to 9th and eastern states about
the 10th.
Accompanying this disturbance a
very considerable amount of rain will
fall from Kansas and Nebraska along
the fortieth parallel to New York and
the New England states and following
this disturbance the weather will be
very cool for this time of year.
In connection with this storm wave
the warm wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about July 5, great
central valley July 7, and eastern states
about the 9th. The cool wave will cross
the west of Rockies country about the
8th, great central valley 10th and east
ern states 18th.
The third disturbance of July will
reach the Pacific coast about July Ii,
cross the west of Rockies country by
close Of 18th, the great GENITAL valley
18th to 10th and the eastern states
10th.
Rains from this disturbance will be
about the same and in same parts of
the United States as mentioned for the
storm wave of 9Th to 10th, and follow
ing the storm the temperature will be
lower than usual.
The warm wave connected with this
last disturbance will cross the west of
Rockies country about the 18th, great
central valley 18th and eastern states
10th. The cool wave will cross the
west Of Rockies country about 14th,
great central valley 18th and eastern
states 18th.

There will be regular meeting of

Sherman County bank in Goodland,
Sherman county, Kansas, on the 9th
day of July at 10 a. M, for the trans
action of such business as may prop
erly came before the board.

PRESLEY, Kan, July 3.-July l and 2,
1895, breaks all previous records for
destructive floods along the Smoky.
On the 1st. about l p. m, the storm
gathered thick and fast in the south
east in three separate sections, and in
a short time seemed to concentrate at
one point and burst forth in furious
torrents near the source of the Smoky,
and at intervals throughout the after
noon and night continued to pour
down. The excessive dampness, and the
extent Of its ravages on crops and pro
perty along the stream at this writing
is only speculative, bat it is safe to say
it viii climb up into the hundreds of
dollars. Ia fact the food of 1892 is but
a mere freshet, compared to this.
Dams and entertainments were swept
away and crumbled before this mighty
torrent OF water as though they we're
but toys on the surface of a mighty
river. Old channels for ages known to
stand and never change their course,
in this surging, spreading avalanche Of
angry waters gave way and new courses
and channels were formed to give vent
to the mighty force behind it, and in
many instances complete transfOrma-
tiOns took place, which are truly Won
derful, and must be seen to be appre-
ciated. 1t is beyond the power of pen
or Imagination to describe.
The suddenness of the rise of the
waters is another surprise and indica-
ties d clOudburst or waterspout, as it is
estimated that the rise was equal from
six to seven feet per hour.
To give some idea of the damage sus-
tanned by the people on the stream it
only need be said that the bottoms and
banks of the creek are stTewn with
personal effects or property along its
line from boards and small trinkets to
bridges and misunderstanding Of
lumber, corn planters, pigpens, water
fumes, Culverts, barrels, boxes, mill
fixtures, etc. And it is to be hoped
that no one other than those effected
along this water course will modest this
property further than interest them
selves in seeing that it is restored to
the rightfUl owner thereof-fOr which
favor the citizens along the river will
be very greatfUl for.
