that evening to hear the discussion and
without any doubt it will be one Of the
most interesting events in the history Of
Wichita colleges. The Paramount people
have the Affirmative of the question and
have been making strong efforts to get
into the facts of the case. Winfield has
been working equally as hard, and it will
be a brilliant intellectual contest from
start to finish. The stage at the opera
house will be decorated in the different
college colors, and the various yells will
be very much in evidence. After the de-
bate the Paramount students will give the
Winfield people a reception in the Ply

a very pleasing affair. The management

the entrails were removed and also parts
from which the best lard is manufac-
tured. The entrails are dumped into

The material from which the lard is made
is put into other tanks, where it is boil

injected into the tank. Most Of the lard
is rendered in these large tanks, but for
special customers a kettle rendered lard
is made. The lard goes from the large
tanks to the refinery, where it is sub

and is strained through very heavy can

MAIL TRAINT DELAYED
Cimarron River Highest Ever
Known.

State Fish Commissioner George W
Wiley of Meade county was in the city
yesterday and said that the Cimarron
river was on bender and was the high
est that has ever been known. All the
.rrigauing dams and all the bridges from
the Colorado line TO the territory have
been washed out. On the Rock Island
40 trains have been run west Of Plains
since Friday morning, and Liberal and
Arkalon have been without mail all this
time.
This flood will cause great loss during
the coming summer, as the irrlgating
dams have been washed away, an the
water, which should have been saved, has
gone to waste The flood seems to have
been local, and caused by the six inches
of rain which fell during the latter part
Of last week This is the heaviest rain
that has ever been known to fall in
southwestern Kansas and will undoubt-
edly prove to be a misfortune.
Yesterday Mr. Wiley, in talking with
come of his friends about the food, said:
1.-The Cimarron river goes dry every sum

in that part of the state But I got a
special variety and trained them TO walk
around on the sand, standing on their
tails. Now, this flood has come along

Mr.. ASHBAUGH AS A LECTURER
Dodge City People Compliment His
ElOquence and Thought.

Attorney S. s. Ashbaugh was invited

! City to deliver lecture on Dickens The
Globe prints the following notice of the
! lecture:
IS. s. Ashbaugh Of Wichita delivered
the third lecture in the course, before
the Philamoth club at the Christian
! church Friday night There was a good
attendance. Mrs. Whitworth, president of
the club. introduced the lecturer in a few
well chosen words. Mr.. Ashbaugh lee
tured on Dickens works. The lecturer
is man of good appearance and of
more than ordinary ability. He present.
ed his subject in an interesting and en-
PERTAINING manner The comments on the
lecture were favorable. People who are
not familiar with the works of Dickens
could hardly imagine that apparently SO
dry a subject could be woven into such
interesting matter, as that presented by
Mr.. Ashbaugh. Mr.. Ashbaugh's style was
cultured and refined. The lecture was
written in the best English. It was a
fitting subject perfectly fitting the occa-
sion. The lecturer put particular en-
phasis in many parts of his lecture. His
dible. Perfect pronunciation was well
marked and up-to-date. There were fine
flashes OF Wit and rhetoric and inter-
spersed, made striking points which
thrilled the audience. AS a literary effort
the lecture was grand, and ii made
good impression upon all who heard 1t.
1t was instructive, logical and pleasing.
Mr. Ashbaugh paid the Philomath club
fine compliment. The club IS truly a mag
nifcent edifice built where the cross roads
of the Santa Fe trail and the cattle drive
diverge no more.

10 the Earl Of Essex was granted the
privilege oe wearing nightcap In the
royal presence Of Queen Mary, says
the New York Telegram. The fact is
mentioned in Miss Strickland's Lives
Of the Queens Of England" as being
one Of the odd rewards bestowed by
MARY upon her friendssafter her acces-
sion.
The Earl, was a valetudinarian and
had \ great fear OF funcovering hts heao.
Considering, therefore. that the coios
he dreaded respected no person. he pc
tit,oned Queen Mary for leave to wear
his piehtcap In her royal presence. The
Queen not only gave him leave to wear
one, but two nightcaps II he pleased.
His patent for this privilege Is unique
In royal annals: Know ye that We do
grsnt to our well-belOved and trusty
coue,n and councillor. Henry. Earl OF
au..ex. license and pardon to wear his
can. codf or nightcap. or any two OF
thenn at his pleasure, as well In our
presence as In the presence OF any otn-
or person within this realm, or IN any
other Mace In our dominions whatso-
ever during his nfe; and these our !et-
ters shall be sufficient warrant IN bis
behalf"
The Oueen's seal, with the garter
.hove n. was affixed to this singular
grant. Three persons in Great Britain
alone enjoy the privilege Of remaining
covered in the royal presence, namely
Lord Forester. Lord Kinsale. and the
master of Trinity College. Cambridge.
