IN BLEEDING KANSAS
Depression on Every Side Due to Aw
full Drought.

ATCHISoN, Kan, July TO-
The farmers in this section are
becoming alarmed at the drought
and are rushing their stock,
cattle and hogs to market with
out regard to their condition.
The grass is burned up, the
creeks dry. and corn is all but
withered. Nearly all garden
truck is total failure, and the
fields are looking very desolate.
Many farmers are feeding their
stocl; on last years corn. The
depression is beginning to be
felt on all sides.
1t is the worst drought since
1860, and threatens to be worse
than the historic drought of that
year. There is not much of last
seasons corn in the country.
The dry spell has continued
since the 18th of April, and the
ground is parched uutil there
are great cracks in the earth
everywhere.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
Each State Gets $4,000 From National
Treasury.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July g.
The treasury department has
drawn warrants aggregating 81,
200. 600, or $25, 600 each for
forty-five states and two terri
tories, being the maximum
amount provided by congress in
the act of Aug. 80, 1899, for the
endowment and maintenance of
colleges for the benefit of agri-
culture and mechanic arts.
The act provided a minimum
sum of S115, 900 for that year,
with an annual increase of 81, 900
for ten years up to s25, 600. The
maximum is now reached, and
hereafter each of the states and
territories will receive annually
this sum for its agricultural col
leges.
This money is the proceeds OF
the sale of public lands.

SUNBONNET SIGNALS
Little Girls Find Trestle Burning and
Stop Fast Train.

LoGANsPoRT, Ind, July TO-
A disastrous wreck to fast
freight train on the Louisville
division of the Panhandle near
Anoka Junction, four miles east
of here, was averted by the
bravery of two little girls, Edna
Keener, aged II, and Emma For
paugh, aged a.
While playing along the track
the girls discovered a small
trestle over a creek on fire.
They Immediately ran down the
track, waving their sunbonnets,
and stopped the train just in time
to prevent it from going into the
creek.
The girls were rewarded with
all the money the train crew had
and the matter was at once re-
ported TO the officers here. The
Louisville express would soon
have been due at the point where
the trestle was burned, and it
was at first reported that this
was the train stopped.

BOON FOR MENzIEs
Southern Indiana Democrats Talk of tn
Popular vernonite for Governor.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 9.-Some
influential Democrats are talking
of Major G. N. Menzies, of Mt.
Vernon, for the Democratic no.
mination for governor in 1904.
1t is probable that before long
he will have a fun-sized boom.
1t is said in his favor that he has
a great many Republican friends
and that his location is strong
card in his behalf as it has been
a long time since there was a
Democratic governor from south
ern Indiana. Major Menzies is
a native of Kentucky and as
strong a Democrat as his father
in-law, the late Governor Hovey,
was a Republican. He is a
graduate of the naval academy
at Annapolis and PresidentCl Cleve-
land, on recommendation OF
Thomas h. Hendricks, at one
time about concluded to appoint
him secretary of the navy. He
has served on the board of mon
ument regents since its creation.
With at least two Republican
candidates for the gubernatorial
nomination in the field, Major
Menzies' friends believe it is not
out of place to begin booming
him.

SUSPICION OF MURDER
Body Of Little Fort Wayne Girl Found
in a Neishbor's Cistern.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, July g.
Ii is now believed that Alice
Cothrell, 10 years old, whose
body was found in a cistern at
Huntertown, ten miles north of
here, was murdered. The coron-
er held secret investigation
last nigh, as a result of which
Dunn was placed in Jail. The
girl was found in Charles Dunn's
cistern. Dunn is neighbor to
whose'house she had been sent
on an errand.
The body was discovered after
the child had been missing five
days. 1t did not appear, how
ever, to have been in the water
more than a few hours. The
child could not have fallen into
the cistern, owing to its construc-
ton. The coroner found that
the girl had been outraged,
strangled to death and thrown
into the cistern.

INSANITY TRUST"
Investigation by the Grand Jury at
indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July g.
The county grand jury yester-
day began its investigation of
the ..lunacy commission trust.
John Ross repeated the story OF
his visit to the city dispensary
about two weeks ago and his
subsequent Imprisonment in the
Central hospital for insane.
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus mas
found sections of law that he
believes will authorize indict-
ments for perjury and suborna'
ton of perjury if the testimony
proves charges against the trust
to be true.
Ross story was more compre'
.hensive, and, under the greater
freedom of the grand jury room,
he went more into detail than
the rules of evidence would per-
NIT when he was on the witness
stand in Judge Leathers' court
last week. He brought out al
least two new points. He said
that when he was at the city dis
pensary, and the physicians were
questioning him, for what pur-
pose he at that time did not
know, Matron Elizabeth Cron-
