UNDERWEAR.

We have received several cases of heavy
Woolen Underwear for winter trade, but can.
not think of asking buyers to dress in these
weighty garments. We supply the present
want with light weight wooden. about two
numbers heavier than the Summer wear.
This will protect the body from all sudden
changes in the weather during fall months.
All our heavy wooden purchases were made in
the month of May and the new tariff bill
will not familiarize itself with the new warm
protectors received later on.

A HAMLET ENGULFED
Peculiar Disappearance of Rozel,
Pawnee County, Kan.
BOTTOMLESS PIT WHERE IT STOOD.
Investigation Proves That the Bottom OF
the Land Actually DrOp3ed Out-Ihe
Hole Filled with Water-NO
Lives Were Lost.

LARNED. Kan. Nov. 19.-One of those
remarkable freaks which go to confirm
the belief that a great river or sea un-
derfiows all of western Kansas has
just occurred near here. When the
shades of evening heightened into
darkness Wednesday night, the rail
road station of ROzel, in Pawnee
county, on the Jetmore branch of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
Is miles northwest of here. nestled
peacefully on the bosom of the prairie.
and no one doubted that the mOrrow's
sun would awaken its little industries
to their usual life and activity. Yes
terday morning when those who live
in the neigh borhOod turned their at
tention toward the little hamlet they
were thunderstruck to discover that
the place which the night before
had consisted of a depot, Two or three
buildings had completely disappeared
from the face of the earth.
Investigation proved that the bot
tom had actually dropped out of the
land upon which the village was To-
Gated. and that it had disappeared into
the bottomless ehasm, the depth of
which cannot be determined. Hun
dreds of people visited and gazed in
wonder on the scene yesterday. The
hole is about ~ acres in extent, of an
uneven, oblong shape, with rough, al
most perpendicular walls. 1t is filed
to within about 20 feet of the surface
with dark, stagnant-looking water.
into which everything thrown, even
lumber and light boards, immediately
sinks. The depth of this water is I'M
known, as the longest ropes have as
yet been unable to touch bottom.
The theory is that whatever is
thrown into the water is drawn under
and carried along by the underfow,
but there is no current or agitation of
the surface water in the hole to
strengthen this theory. The fact alone
remains that everything thrown into
the water Immediately disappears in
its inky depths and is never recovered.
No lives were lost, as no people re-
manned at the station over night, the
nearest residents being a family of
farmers half a mile distant. The
catastrophe has parallel in similar
freak which occurred in Meade county
about ten years ago, when a section of
land crossed by public road disap-
peared in a single night in the same
way, leaving a chasm which was the
wonder of all for many months and
which remains to-day notable land
mark of more than ordinary interest

A Cattle Car Catches Fire and Sixteen

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 29.-Sixteen
head of cattle were roasted alive in a
Santa Fe cattle car at Wakarusa sta
ton about ten o'clock last night. The
believing of the tortured beasts could
be heard for miles and had the effect
of attracting the entire inhabitants of
the surrounding country to the scene.
The cattle had been loaded at Reading
station for Chicago and were in the
middle of stock express No. 36, due
here at IL p. m. AS the train neared
Wakarusa the bedding of the car was
discovered to be on fire. All possible
speed was made to reach the water
tank at Wakarusa. but by the time the
train stopped at the tank the
flames were beyond control in
one car while the fire had spread to the
stock cars on either end.

Federal Judge Foster Decides Against the
Travellers Insurance Company.

TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 23.-In the case
brought by the Travellers Insurance
company against State Insurance Com
missioner McNall asking an injunction
restraining him from excluding the
company from Kansas because it re-
fused to permit him to examine into
its financial condition, Judge Foster in
the federal court this morning decided
in favor of the state. Judge Foster
held that the insurance commissioner
has power to make such examinations,
but could not exclude until after maxi
ing the examinations and then only in
case the company was found to be in
solvent. The judge, however, took oc-
casion to score McNall for charging
excessive examination fees.
