After the prosperous season for u

we answer the questions so often put to
us in brief. The strawberry crop has
yielded an average of about $500 per
acre. Some growers, notably Mr.. a.
F. Coultas, have gone much above that.
The Irish potato and bean shipments
also have been profitable and there has
been considerable shipments Of other
berries.

here and elsewhere for strawberries to
be put out in August and the increase
will be near 80 per cent.

General Watts, of the state militia
May 2Sth, precipitated a fight between

further recommended that the gov

Early Fashions III WeuuIus garments.

1t is interesting to note that the
choice of white for wedding dresses is
comparatively a modern fashion. The
Roman brides wore yellow, and in most
eastern countries pink is the bridal
color. During the Middle Ages the Re
naissance brides wore crimson. and
most of the Plantagenet and Tudor
queens We're married in this vivid hue,
which is still popular in part of Brit
tany, where the bride is usually dress
ed in crimson brOcade. It was Mary
Stuart who first changed the color of
bridal garments. At her marriage with
Francis II, of France, in 1553-Which
took place not before the altar, but be-
fore the great doors of NOtre Dame
she was gOWend in white brOcade, with
a train of pale blue Persian velvet, six
yards in length. This innovation caused
quite a stir in the fashionable world
of that time. It was not, however, till
quite the end of the seventeenth CEN
fury thai pure white-the color hither-
to worn by royal French widows-be-
came popular for brida garments in
England.-Boston Budget.

HailstOnes Big AS Ostrich r Sgs.

Topeka, Kas, June 24.-The worst
hail storm known in the history of
Kansas struck this city shortly after
6 o'clock tonight. HailstoneS weighing
II to 16 ounces stripped the trees of
their foliage, smashed window panes
on every hand, including the finest
plate glass store fronts, cut down tele-
graph and telephone wires, riddled
awnings and inflicted unprecedented
damage throughout the city. Dogs were
struck in the streets and instantly
killed. Horses We're knocked to their
knees. RunaWayS occurred throughout
the city. When the fury of the storm
had passed, dead birds Were found
everywhere. A heavy wind and terrific
lightning accompanied the storm.
Topeka tonight looks like a city hat
has withstOOd a siege of war guns
There are not a dozen buildings in the
town that are not almost WindOWlesS,
and many roofs are caved in. The
roofs of street cars also were pierced.
The damage wrought can be imagined
when it is known that the hailstOnes
ranged in size from hat of a hem
egg to an ostrich egg, and that thirty
minutes after the storm one hailstone
was picked up which measured four
teen inches in circumference. Sur
geOns are busy dressing the wounds of
persons injured in the storm, and re-
ports of injuries continue to be re-
Ceived. Many were hurt in runaWays
on the streets. The following are
among the most seriously hurt: Frank
Branard, hickman, skull fractured: J.
D. Henderson, liveryman. skull frac-
tured; Roy White, leg broken in a
runaway; Mrs. Mary Hughes, arm
broken in a D. K. Lee, bad
scalp wound; Miss Ann FentOn, head
cut; Fred HOller, head cut.
The damage cannot be estimated, but
it will amount to thousands. Window
glass is already at a premium here, and
tonight three carloads was ordered
from Kansas City. Street car traffic is
stopped and electric lights are out,
owing to the decentralization of the
electric system.

rapid work last night, prevented what is
supposed TO have been an attempt to rob
a wealthy farmer from Richland. who

sergeant and officer arrived at a low
resort just when they did. the robbery
would undoubtedly have taken place. for
the farmer was in that happy condition

Two of the men escaped, but the one who
is supposed to have been the ringleader
was captured and arrested.
Word reached police station during the

the police against Link Payne for rob

against him and today in police court he
was fined $40.
Sergeant owen said of the case: LAS
