bearing down ON the little village, O

A dozen people were running about

the high ground, others turning back
into their houses to save family or treas

They were descending the first slope
now and turned their wheels into the
little meadow that lay between them
and the landing. AS they drew nearer
they could see that the oars were in one
Of the boats and that a man from the
village was running swiftly with an
other pair.
"The water will spread some before
it gets here, " shouted Clarence, as they
sped along. "We must get to that other
boat and try TO save somebody
The distance was very short, but it
seemed lcng. The boy leaped from his
wheel while they were still on compar-
atively high ground, and the girl fol-
lowed suit. Then they ran down the
slope and leaped into the big, clumsy
boat that contained the oars. 1t was
tied to ring, and Clarence cut the
rope with his knife just as the advance
rush of water reached the village, and,
checked a. little by the houses, spread
and divided and poured on, carrying a
strange drift of life and property. A

Met the Emergency.

A melodrama of the most stirring kind
was being given in theater In a small
provincial town. In one of the critical
scenes the hero suddenly became aware OF
the fact that no had come upon the stage

1t is quito evident that vagarics In dress

With a woman 1t is different. A badly

or absolute lack of feminine taste, is raro

are exceptions, however, but even then,
no matter how fascinating her CONVERSE

sense and knowledge of interesting things

FRANKLIN S. CARLTON
Has Lived in sedgwick County For
p Years.

By the death of F. S. Carlton of Gyp-
sum township, Sedgwick county loses one
of its most energetic, honest and wealth.
lest citizens. But few farmers in Kansas
have made the success that Uncle Frank,
as he was more commonly known, has
made.
He first moved to Sedgwick county In
1871 with his wife and four children, hav-
ing previously bought about 400 acres of
raw land. He started to make for himself
and family home on section %, township
IS, range l east, to which he has gradu-
ally added by purchases until at the time
of his death he owned 1,O45 acres of fine
land in this county, besides Arkansas
lands and town properties.
The death of Mr.. Carlton was a great
surprise to his host of friends, as he was
always up and around and apparently
enjoying good health; always ready with
a joke for his friends and a word of ad-
vice and encouragement for the children.
1t was also very pathetic from the fact
that he did not die a. his own home, but
at the home of Charlie, his youngest son,
one-half mile south of his residence On
SATURDAY nlSHt, June 20 III the early part
of the night he was attacked with heart
trouble, there being no one at the place
at the time except he and his wife whom
de could send for medical assistance; yet
these two old peopIs, fle suffering the
tortures of suffocation managed to get
their horse hitched to the buggy and
drove to their son Charles, who imme-

While ne was not a member of any
church he lived an exemplary Christian
life and died in the faith that when his
sufferings here on earth were over, his
Heavenly Father would admit him into
his mansion.

WHEAT FALLS SHORT
But Farmers Regard This
Years Yield Good.
LAST FIELD Is CUT
Preparations Made to Sow a
Larger Crop.

The first wheat cut in Sedgwick county
this year was by Mr.. Phillips, south Of
Derby. Probably the last harvesting
was done by Mr.. J. H. Fffer, who lives
northwest of here in the neighborhooc of
Colwich Mr.. Fifer finished yesterday
forenoon. He says that while wheat will
fall short from eight to nine bushels per
acre Of what it was expected to yield,
It is still a good crop and will yield from
fourteen to twenty bushels per acre.
P z. Pierce of Mt. Hope was in yester-
day and says harvesting is all done in
that part of the county and not field
was hurt by hail nor seriously damaged
by rust. The most noticeable feature of
this years crop is the unusually rank
straw, which has been heavy enough in
all parts of southwest Kansas to support
a yield of forty bushels per acre without
falling down.
Sam Mcpherson, on South Hydraulic,
four miles, says the last field has been
cleaned up there and the crop is in good
condition but viii fall a little short.
An Eagle representative inquired of
probably twenty farmers from all parts
Of the county as TO the condition of the
wheat and found that the general aver
age expected was about twenty-three to
twenty-five bushels but which would be
only fourteen to eighteen.
A special to the Eagle from Kingman
says:
Wheat harvest has finished and farm
ers have commenced to thresh in lively
way. The average yield here will be prob
ably ten to fifteen bushels per acre, which
is four or five bushels short of the yield
expected Much of the wheat was wasted
because farmers could not get into the
fields to cut it on account OF the contin-
ued heavy rains. Corn is in good shape
Similar dispatches have been received
from Harper and Pratt. Farmers will
sow larger acreage of wheat than ever.
