part of the state where the danger
seemed most imminent. But through
out the state the people responded
literally with money and provisions
for the sufferers About this time, in
fact, on the very next day. heavy rains
set in. Up to that time the long-conI
tinued drouth had not abated in west

fallen in the spring months of 1875,
but now they became heavy and fire.
quent. This was regarded as a fore
runner of deliverance. 1t was. The
locust began to move about June IL,
and by the 18th were all gone. The
next year they came again, but did
little damage, and since that time
have not appeared. The citizens be-
gan at once to retrieve their loss.
They planted their crops again, and
the season being favorable from that
on, the yield was bountiful.'
1t will be observed by these briefly
cited records that drouths are not
confined to Kansas; they are general.
and also local to all parts of the coun-
try, and to every state in the Union
at times. In the dry seasons most
wildly remembered in this state, be-
cause there were more people than
formerly to be affected by it, Colorado,
Nebraska and Missouri were quite as
disastrously injured as Kansas. Ken
lucky has suffered severe drouths and
so has Illinois and Ohio, and the dry
seasons are not confined to any por-
tion of the country, north or south.
No place in the world is immune from
an occasional failure of the rains. and
if come the drouth must now and
then, no part of the land is better
able to bear it with equanimity and
fortitude than Kansrs, with her mag
nificent wheat crop and her broad ex-
panse of short grass.-Topeka Herald.

Toledo, Ohio, June 22.-Yesterday at
ternoon several fishermen while stroll
ing along the river two miles south Of
the city discovered a large iron safe
on which was the name Of the Pacific
Express company. The door had ap-
parently been battered in with, a ham,
mer. On the inside were q number OF
empty money bags and way bills. The
men at once reported it to the police
and the local officers Of the express
company were also notified. The agent,
Frank g. Benedict, was out Of the city
and the clerks refused to make any
statement. However, they identified
the safe as being the property Of the
company. They stated that such a
safe was sent out Of this city Tuesday
night In a through car m the Wabash
for st. Louis and Omaha, but declined
to say anything as to what il con-
tained. There were six money bags in
the safe when found; four were marked
st. Louis and two were marker Omaha.
They do not indicate the character of
the contents. It is believed that the
safe was stolen Wednesday n;ght. A
rQmor is prevalent that the safe con-
taincd $4,000 in gold, but this has not
been confirmed.
