grounds were in splendid condition.
The people on the west side ofthe
river could not get in, but from every
other part of the county came farmers
with wagon load after wagon load OF
grain and fruit and other produce, so
that the expectation of a magnificent
display was already realized.
But thea the reluge!

climbing up the bank. Night and

waited and hoped But the work
wac of no avail, and the hopes were
IN vain. On Wednesday night Mt D

THE RAGING NEOSHO.
Heavy Rains Here aad Elsewhere Fave
Brought a Flood.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES
OF Corn and Other Crops Under Water and Great
Less Inevitable.

The Neosho valley. all the way
down TO the Stale line, was visited on
Sunday last with the most terrific rain
that has fallen for years. At Emporia
the heavy Wind that accompanied
the rain wrecked the new wing of the
State Normal and did other damage.
At many other places the wind did
great damage, but Allen county for
tunately escaped.
We did not escape the Hood, how
ever. On Monday morning the river
was out of its banks on the west side.
All day Monday and Monday night
and Tuesday and Wednesday, in
spite of reports that it was falling at
other places. il kept stea Oily rising
here. The Fair managers ~,Tkt d
heroically, night and day, building
Ievees to keep it out of the grounds.
But all their efforts proved fruitless.
The levees held all right, but at nine
o'clock last night the mighty flood
poured over the highest places i'm the
bank, and coon the grounds were
swept by the resistless torrent.
The loss to the farmers along the
creek and river bottoms will be very
great. Thousands of acres of ripen-
ed grain that weuId have yielded
from go to 100 bushels per acre, are
now under water and will doubtless
be total loss. A great deal of hay
and wheat and live stock have also
been swept away. Such a food at
this season of the year is without pre-
cedent in our recollection, and Is a
most deplorable calamity.
Probably the heaviest loss in this
county by reason of the flood will he
that of Mr. George Davis and Mr.
Robt. SHAPED who have 50 acres of
potatoes which have been under
water for three days. They were out
in boats all day Wednesday digging
them up by hand, hut of course only
a very few can be saved. The field
would have yielded hot less than
5000 bushels, so the loss will be a
heavy one.

DISTRICT CONVENTION w. G. L. U.
The Eleventh Annual Convention
of the WOmans Christian Temperance
Union of the Second Congressional
District of Kansas, held in Music hall
Lawrence, on the % and 80, was a
grand success throughout. The Law
renee Unions deserve praise in plan
ming and executing to make 1t such.
The hall was beautifully decorated.
A LUNCHEON was served each day at
noon i'm the dining hall at the rear,
which added greatly to the socially
enjoyment of all. Six counties were
represented personally by their presi-
dents. While most of them reported
the sual amour of work, and an in
crease OF membership, others felt so
keenly the blow given our cause in
the defeat of the Suffrage Amend
ment last TALL, it was with difficulty
forces were rallied to take up the
work again, however all were urged
in the plan of work adopted, to enter
at once upon another campaign for
Equal Suffrage, realizing the strong
hold of the enemy can only be shaken
by ballots rightly directed. The De-
partment of Literature showed a
goodly amount of seed sowing in that
line.
After discussion of Dept. of Fran
chise, Mrs. Weaver, of Olathe beauti-
fully rendered a solo, "The Saloon
keepers Cry, Don't let the Women
UOte."
Two recitations by Rev. Edith Hill
of Pittsburg, added to the enjoyment
of one afternoon.
Delightful music was furnished
throughout. The children's hour fill
ed with songs, recitations and address
ses, proved a pleasant diversion from
regular convention work, and wac
much enjoyed.
Each evenings program was highly
entertaining as was evident 6y the
close attention of the large audiences.
1t would require too much time and
space to speak Of all the good things
on the programs, but or we cannot
pass wit bout mention, the address
of Rev. Edith Hill, subject, "The four
Horses" in revelation, which was
decidedly very fine. Miss Hill though
quite a young lady has already made
for herself reputation for ability and
power.
AT the close of the second afternoon
session, carriages were In waiting and
conveyed the visitors to the Haskell
Institute. Only about two hundred
and fifty of the five hundred students
expected had arrived for the opening
of sc hool, but to see so many in uni
form of blue, march out of the dining
hall. The form and 90 through their
military drill was really interesting.
The buildings and grounds all show
that Uncle Sam is quite liberal in the
management, and is surely doing
grand work for the Indians.
The election If officers for the Sec
ond District resulted in Mrs. Fannie
Holsinger, Rosedale, reelected Pres.
Mrs. Florence Day, Lecompton, Sec.
Mrs. J. c. Reed, Garrett, Treasurer.

wished they might have seen the election
in Glasgow. 1t was feared the lower
elements would control the election All
the temperance men on the ticket were
elected. The polling places were quiet
and orderly.
The Governors OF the states where
women have voted, speak highly of the
results. Again the opponents say the
women do not want it. At Boston the
State House, Wednesday, was crowded,
crowded with women who plead for
woman suffrage. The remonstrants were
about 3 rich women from the Back Bay.
She had often heard the women who
never felt the inconvenience of a crumpled
rose leaf say they didn't want to vote.
She had heard it often from women who
are opulent and lazy that they did not
want suffrage. She had never heard it said
by the working woman. She had never
heard it from those who need and suffer.
Gods laws are unaltcrablc and God
made man and woman 10 stand together
in all that makes for good government.
But they say that the women are so very
emotional We want in the government
both heart and head. "If you gentle
men have all the intellect and women
have all the emotion then get some of tho
emotion at once"
She would venture to say that the men
would never be so proud as when they
bring to the polls the women VINO have
governed so wisely and we'll in the home.
We ask the brave. the true and the loyal
men who respect and love their wives,
and want them to have all the protection
the law and power Of suffrage can give
them to build up rs though she We're
alone now. Give her the prerogatives
now. Ask not the question, How will it
work: Is it cxpedient? but, Is it right!
There is not a problem dealt with in
tina. spirit that God does not solve.
Your conscience tells you that to honor
the woman you must trust her. Is 1t
right, SO help me God l will go forward, !"
is the spirit in which all great questions
must be met. Lady Somerset's closing
sentence was the following quotation:
"Choosc we'll Your choice is brief and
vet endless, - and the applause and cnthu-
siasm manifested showed the interest and
favor with which her words had been re
ceivcd. Lady Somerset's presence and
manner won the audience at the first. Her
remarks were of absorbing interest
throughout and at times she was very elo-
quent.
