A terrific storm of wind and rain
swept over this locality Saturday even

great fury, doing much damage to prop
erty of all kinds, some buildings were
either wholly or partially unroofed ana
their contents flooded. Many outbuild-

Rain at intervals all of Saturday, be-

has fallen and will be a great benefit
to the farmers of this section. The
ground is now in excellent shape for
the fall blowing. 1t is believed the
ground is now soft enough to enable
the blowing to be done easily even if
no more rain falls The reports indi-

Big Family Reunion.

FAMILY reunion last week. Five genera
tons were present Jacob Heckaman

In recalling old times it developed
that Mr. and Mrs. Hickman have been
married sixty-eight years and moved
from Stark county, Ohio. to the big $50
acre farm where they still reside sixty
three years ago. They are the parents
of eleven children, six of whom are now
living In the family are eighty-four
grandchildren, Lightweight great
grandchildren and five great-great-
grandchildren.
Mr. Heckaman, now within ten years
of the century mark, is exceedingly hale
and hearty and looks after many of
the details of his farm. His wife is
not as spry as her better half and has
been belfast for some time.

by fall of chantilly. OF course only a
tall girl can wear this; a little woman
in it would look too dumpy for words.
But then it is time the tall girl had
something designed especially for her,
for the petite damse1 has had things her
way for a long time now.
There is evidently a mania In this
town for naming articles of dress after
plays. Here is the latest-the Dolly
Warden rosette. If you are not a CO.
quette, don't wear it, for it is only
fetching on that style of girl-the girl
who can look out. of the corner of her
eye, I mean. The Dolly Warden rosette
then consists simply of a huge rosette
of accordion plated changeable louisine
ribbon with a. center composed of a
rose of ribbon. 1t is intended to be
worn right over the heart-or the
place where girls heart is supposed
to be.

why Girl. Are Heart,es..

Personally, I don't think girls have
any hearts nowadays. I don't say this
in reproach, for I am well aware that
the girls can't help it. They have to
dispense with their hearts in order to
keep up with the times; if they didn't
they would be lost. If there is any one
thing which is in a girls way in So
ciety, it is heart. Wise mothers in
struct their daughters in the art of
eliminating or concea1ing theirs as
early in life as possible. A girl very
soon finds out for herself that it is only
the idiots who have feelings. If they
don't realize that for themselves, the
married women will help them to- OF
course a married woman is a much
more desirable companion for a young
girl than another girl. The young
matron can give jolly little dinners

Kansas City, Kas, Sept. 1.-The new
federal building in Kansas City, Kas,
was formally opened Saturday and sew
eral hundred citizens looked through
the building. A programme had been
arranged to celebrate the occasion and
part of it was given on a platform at

fore the rain drove the people indoors
Judge L. w. Keplinger presided and
in addressing the audience told few
of the vicissitudes through which the
effort to obtain a suitable postoffice in
Kansas City, Kas., had passed. He
mentioned the part taken by ex-Con-
gresham o. L. Miller. who first intro
duced such a bill in congress, and by ex-
Congressman Mason L. Peters and ex-
Senator Baker, who secured its passage
and by Congressman Bowersock, VINO
watched over the bill and FASTENED its
execution.
Mr.. Peters was the only other speaker
and he made a pleasing address. re-
counting some of the incidents of the
Fifty-firSt congress, OF which he was
member and which passed the bill for
a federal building in Kansas City, Kas.
State Senator J. K. CubbisOn and Con-
gresham J. p Bowersock were on the
programme, but the rain caused adj
journment before they had an oppor-
tunity to speak.
Within the buildin~ the postoffice en-
ployees were entertaining their guests
and displaying to them the perfect ap-
pointments of the new office. The rooms
were decorated with palms. Benedict's
orchestra, in three sections was play
ing in as many parts of the building,
and the large room on the second floor,
| which may some day be dedicated to the
use of a federal court, was merry with
dancers. An interesting souvenir con-
tanning a history of the Kansas City.

formation to it's patrons, was given to
