The Best Kansas News.
Faithful woman, Faithle.. Man.

In the petition filed in divorce
suit in Montgomery corrty there is
recited a remarkable story of woman's
sacrifice and mans faithlessness. The
petitioner is Mrs. Rosa Scovil. She
says she married Ernest Scovil in 1887
and that they lived happily until 1890,
when her husband was arrested for
breaking into freight car. After
he had been lodged in the Montgom-
cry county Jail to await trial she
moved to the county seat and worked
as a domestic for wages which she
expended in procuring delicacies for
her husband. He was convicted, but
on account of his youth he was sent
to the reformatory instead of the PEN
itentiary, and his wife followed him to
Hutchinson. There again she worked
as domestic and spent her earnings for
her husband. In due time he was re-
leased and came to see her, but only
to tell her that he was going to leave
and never come back. She begged
him to stay and said she could make
the living for both of them, but he
had tired of her, and he went away.

HAVOC FROM WATER
Hundreds of People Made Homeless
in rhe East.
Flood Follows Fire at Paterson and Wide
spread DesoIatiOn Ii Left n Its Wake
Hudson River Overflows-Awfui
Havoc Along the Schuylkill

Paterson, N. j., March 3.-This city,
so recently swept by fire in its bust
ness section, is now overwhelmed by
food and yesterday the quarter occu-
Lied by the houses of the poorer class
was inundated. Hundreds of families
Rave been made homeless by the
overflow of the Passaic river and the
country for miles around the city is
'.nder water. The fire of three weeks
ago, while causing damage to prop
crty to the extent of nearly $1,000, 900,
did not create such suffering and
widespread desolation as the food of
yesterday. The district for a mile
along the river front from Spruce
street hill to Straight street, and two
blocks north and five blocks south of
the river, nearly half a mile in width,
is covered with water which in many
instances reached to the second
story of the dwellings. In this dis
trict are situated the Rogers locomo-
tive works and several silk mills and
dye works. Near by live fully 900
families who have been driven from
their tenements.
Philadelphia, March 3.-The de-
struction wrought by the storm was
so great that many industrial estab-
lishments along the Schuylkill rivers
banks will be unable to resume work
for several days. Quite number of
buildings used for manufacturing pur-
poses had their foundations weak
ened and machinery clogged with
mud. The indications are that not
one coal mine in Schuylkill county
will resume operations to-day. Most
of the mines were flooded by swollen
mountain streams.
At Pittsburg all day long great
gangs of men have been at work
pumping out cellars, carting away
debris and cleaning up generally. An
estimate of the damage done there
by the flood is hard to get at, but
conservative men place the total at
about $1,250,0OO. This includes the
loss to the thousands of workmen in
wages as well as the actual property
loss. All the railroads of the state
have suffered severely

A Cows Resurrection.

Near Coffeyville straw stack heav-

that was feeding from it. The farm
er who owned the cow thought she
had been killed and so he made no eff
fort to dig her out. But 81 days later
he detected movement in the stack
and forked the straw away with the
result of finding the cow very much
alive with a newborn calf by her side.
On getting her liberty the cow ran
bawling to the creek for water, but
she was lassoed before she got there
and was then given warm water in
very small quantities. In few days
she was as well as ever.-Kansas City
