An Atchison girl is preparing for her
keep" in old age She has girls from
other towns visit her, and they can
stay as long as they desire. The Atchi-
son girl gives parties for her visitors
and sees that they have good times gen
orally. Before a girl leaves she must
sign a contract which provides that the
visitor, party of the second part, shall
permit her hostess, party Of the first
part, to visit party Of the second part a
any time during the old age of party of
the first part, remaining equally as
long as did party of the second part.
All these visits the Atchison girl records
in book, and she already has enough
to her credit to keep her several years.
When the Atchison girl gets old she will
take her account book under her arm
and go collecting. If any one should for
get, and make objections the Atchison
girl will show the contract, and let the
kicker pay up or lay herself liable for a
damage suit.

WATER EVERYWHERE.
Condition That Exists at Present
in Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana.
RAIN HAS COME DOWN IN OCEANS,
Eight and Nine Inches in Twenty-FOur
Hours-Great Damage to All
Kinds of Property.

New Orleans, April 1S.-Damage to
the extent of thousands of dollars has
been done to railroad property, crops
and bridges by floods in the middle
gulf states, caused by the record
breaking rains of the past few DAYS.
The doWnpOur has covered LOUISIANA
Mississippi and Alabama, and has
ranged from four to nine inches. 1t has
sent all the country streams out OF their
banks, caused a complete suspension
of railroad traffic over a large section,
resulted in the loss of innumerable
bridges, and caused the overflow of
large tracts of cotton and corn, much
of which must be replanted. The loss
of life so far reported is small, being
confined so far to the drowning of a
few negroes in country districts while
trying to save live stock and other
property.
Nine Inches in Twenty-FOur Hours.
Eight inches of rain fell at Amite
City, La, in twenty-four hours, and
over nine at Vicksburg. The Illinois
Central road is unable to move along
it's main line, and a roundabout jour-
ney over the Mississippi Valley tracks
is being resorted to. Heavy winds ac-
companied the rain and telegraph and
telephone wires are down all over the
state, while bridges have been washd
out and mails delayed. Because of
these hindrances reports from northern
and central Mississippi have been
meager. The heaviest rains those Sec
tons have experienced for years have
fallen.
Damage to Railways and Crops.
WashOuts are reported in all direc-
lions. The Little J' road is under
water at several points. The Illinois
Central officials hoped to get through
trains in each direction from Jackson
during last night. The Alabama and
Vicksburg trains had all been aban-
doned until morning. LabOrers are
being recruited to make repairs in all
directions. Much damage has also been
caused to telegraph wires. and the
Jackson office Of the Postal Telegraph
company is closed to business. Re-
ports from Crystal Springs and Madi-
son state that the cranberry and
strawberry beds are under water and
that the early crops will be entirely
lost. Both the cotton and corn crops
will have to be replanted in many
places and the damage done to fences
and bridges is practically incalculable.
Passenger Train Was Waterbound.
The Atlanta and VicksbUrg pasSen-
ger train due at Meridian at 1870 p.
NJ. Monday was water-bound twelve
miles from that city for twenty -four
hours. The passengers were without
food, the train being unable to come
forward or go back. The passengers
and crew of the train were rescued.
but the engine, coaches and one res
cuing train had to be abandoned. The
rescued passengers were compelled to
debark, wade in three fet of water
half a mile and cross Okitibbe river
trestle, the foundations of which had
been swept away. Only suspended
rails and cross ties afforded a foot
passage. There We're several ladies in
