.STR|POFDRY COUNTRY
Place in Harper County Along
Southern Kansas
WHERE NO RAINHASFALLEN
Of Any Account Since Latter
Part of June.

Bank Examiner c. 8. Jobes came In
from Harper county, and he says that
on his place near Attica 1t Is dry. The
corn is burned up and will not yield any
thing even If 1t rains every day from now
till October.
Reports from Milan, Argonia and other
towns say that In a strip four or I'VE
miles wide and running the total length
of Harper county and part Of Sumner
near the line of the southern Kansas
railroad no rain had fallen to amount to
anything since the latter part of June,
and that the crops are burned up. The
people in this strip of country have seen
the coDlous rains fall on either side Of
them week after week. The clouds
formed and moved up with the appear
ance OF sending a flood, but every time
they broke and vanished seemingly with
a special vengeance on the fated strip.
This is a peculiar thing. 1t Is not gen.
eral even in Harper county, where the
most of the dry strip lies. There are
hundreds of thousands Of bushels Of corn
in Harper county and wheat yielded from
10 to 20 bushels per acre. But on account
of some peculiar conditions of the climate
or some Typographical restriction or con-
dition Of the country 1t hasn't rained
there this year. There is not another
place like 1t in Kansas. It is not due to
any particular freak of the Kansas ell
mate. 1t occurs in other states. At the
opening Of settlement in Sedgwick coun-
ty there was strip Of country between
Wichita and Cheney where the wheat
was hailed down every year for seven
years. Hail storms struck the same To-
cality in the same month and not more
than four days either way from the day
that the first storm struck. It was all
ways about equally disastrous and hap
pened seven years straight. The strip Of
dry country in Harper county may yield
the best average of corn or wheat that
is recorded from Kansas next year, but
It is in hard luck this year.

testimony IA the first instance II given
by Dawson as a witness.
Equally objectionable were the state
ments that he had never IN any manner
or form attempted to harm Paddy. nor
had any reason TO do so; that he had no
gun with him, and did not 80 there for
any other purpose than to get his money
and pocketbook; and that ne was shot
without any provocation or cause what
ever.
The statements made by him and
which were introduced In rebuttal con-
tradicting the defendant and other wit
nesses, formed no part Of the res gestae
and could not properly be introduced In
the dying declaration.
Testimony tending to show that the
deceased frequently used profanity to the
nurses and attendants Just before his
death, about the time the dying declara-
ton was made, was offered by the de-
PENDANT. and was excluded In view Of
the character of the declaration and the
statement by him that he firmly believed
in a God and hereafter. and that he
was about to die and meet his Creator.
these statements were competent to con-
tradict and impeach his declaration. The
supreme court Of the United States holds
that such declarations may be contra
dicted and impeached in this manner. It
decided that 'such declarations by no
means impart absolute verify" The his
tory OF criminal trials is replete with in
stances where witnesses. even in the
agonies Of death, have, through malice.
Misrepresentation or weakness Of mind,
made declarations that were inconsistent
with the actual facts; and It would be a
hardship to the defendant. who is depriv-
ed of the benefit of a cross-examination,
TO hold that he could not explain them
In the same connection the court stated
that such declarations may be discred-
tied by proof that the character of the
deceased was bad or that he did not be-
lieve in a future state>of reward or pun
ishment'
"In Tracey VS.. People, 81 III, 101, It was
held that when dying declarations are
offered in evidence 1t is competent for the
accused to show by cross-examination
Of the peoples witnesses, or by other
witnesses, that the deceased in making
the statements was in a reckless, irrever-
ent state Of mind, and entertained feel
ings Of malice and hostility towards the
accused; and proof of the indulgence in
the use Of profane language at or about
the time Of making the statement, is
clearly competent for that purpose
"Other objections were made to the rul-
ings of the court, but we discover no
prejudiciai error in them. nor do they re-
quire special consideration. For the err
rors mentioned the judgment will be re-
versed and the cause remanded for a new
trial"

FELL THREE STORIES
ARTHUR PATTIsON FOUND IN
ALLEY
Back OF harris Bleck In Une0uscious
Condition.

Arthur Patterson, who is employed in
the electric light plant, was found in an
unconscious condition in the alley back
of the Harris block on South Main street
by Oflcer Cairns, about o'clock this
morning. He had evidently fallen out OF
the window of his room on the third
floor, as he had retired about IL o'clock
as usual. A. G. and T. c. Steck, who
room with Patterson, were in the room
all Of them having retired about the
same time. The elder one OF the StecE
brothers said they all came in and retired
about the same time, somewhere near i
o'clock. They went to sleep and knew
nothing of Patterson's fall until awak-
ened by Mr.. Cairns at o'clock
Mr.. Cairns says he was walking along
the street and heard someone Eroan. He
walked back and found Patterson lying
on his right side in his night clothes. un-
conscious.
His feet are cut and bruised on the
bottom and 1t is probabfe that he is iHs
jured internally. as he could scarcely
fall three stories without sustaining seri-
Gus results. He was taken to the police
station and put on a mattress, and later
a physician called. His injuries may not
prove to be very serious unless there IS
severe internal bruises which can not be
ascertained for several hours. Pattison
sleeps near the window, and In moving
about on account Of the heat he probably
slipped out over the sill and fell. He
is employed as a wiper at the electric
light plant and Is said to be q good,
steady workman.
