ClOudburSt on Callahan Creek.

On Thursday night of last week
the heaviest rain occurred northwest
of Columbia that has been witnessed
there in % years. w. H. Naylor
from North of Midway, was in the
Statesman office Friday, and de-
clared that his bottom land had six
feet of water on it, and the tassels
if his corn only projected above the
water. In ten-acre field of wheat
shocks, the high water carried away
all but three shocks. Several of
those who farm on Callahan creek
lost part of their crops. Hez Wat
son had acres of wheat overfiowed.
f. b. Hatton had twenty-five acres
of corn and meadow under water
and most of it ruined. j. l.. Will
liams lost some oats. Duskin Set
ties had land under water that was
never to his knowledge overflowed
before. Not only were the bottoms
covered, but the uplands in that
vicinity were badly washed. One
of Mr.. MAYORS neighbors lost three
young pigs in the flood, which was
the result of a clOudburst further up
the creek.
The heavy rain in other parts of
the county the same night interfered
somewhat with the progress of
wheat threshing, and this is the one
danger the farmers fear, since most
of the wheat is now in the shock.
Continued rains can do much dam
age to the crop before it is threshed.
The rains recently have, however,
been very beneficial to the corn,
meadows, and other crops. Farm
ers say they do not remember to
have seen finer crops, fruit, how
ever,.will be short in this county.

an angel who had been sent for

low and skirmished around, TAX

The angel lost track of the
editor and went around hades to
hunt him. He found him sitting
by furnace tanning himself and
gazing with rapture upon a lot of
people in the fire. There was a
sign on the furnace that said
"Dead-beat Subscribers" +"

Mrs. Amanda Rolly, who is an
evangelist, and Rev. Henry Payne,
a retired minister, now living near
Rocheport, Mo. The organization,
however, continued to grow and
they now have as their place of
worship the commodious brick
structure on Broadway which is
second to no negro church build
ing in the state outside of st. Louis
and Kansas City. During all these
years the Lange family has been
connected with the organization
and have figured conspicuously in
It's success. Mr.. Thad Lange and
his brother, John Lange, (manager
of the Boone Concert Co. have
both been connected with the Sec
ond Baptist church for years and
among its main supporters. Mr..
John Lange with the assistance of
his brother Thad and a few others,
built the frame structure on South
5th St., now known as Fifth Street
Hall, which was used for many
years as the Second Baptist church.
The A. M. E. church of this city
was organized in a house owned by
John Lange, Sr., which stood on
Eighth Street near Farley's Marble
Works. Few people now living in
Columbia can recall these instances,
where men and their descendants
have figured so conspicuously in
founding and promoting branches
of two of the greatest Christian or.
ganizations of the world, such
deeds as will last longer than the
marble which may mark their last
resting places.

ROSCOE CONKLING BRUCE.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 21.-
Roscoe Conkling Bruce, of
Tuskegee, Ala, the colored orator
of Harvard's senior class delivered
an Grafton on "Education and the
Race Problem" at the class exer-
cises in Sanders Theater.
He said that the most effective
way to reach the negro agricultur-
ist, to emancipate him from ignor-
ance and unthrift, would be to
distribute throughout the rural
districts of the South men and
women trained in industrial
schools. He believed in emanci,
pating the negro by the economical
process of education.
Young Bruce is son of Blanche
X. Bruce, former United States
senator from Mississippi and for
many years registrar of the United
States treasury. The young man
has twice debated in winning
contests against Yale and one
against Princeton. In his fresh.
man year he won the Coubertin
medal, offered by Baron Coubertin
to stimulate interest inthe problems
of French politics. He also has
considerable literary ability, ant
has taken an active part il
athletics.

Some Health Hints.

The "Starbeams" paragrapher
says a strict adherence to these
dietary and hygenic hints during
the hot weather will be found bene-
fetal. They would be applicable, we
think, to zero weather as well:
Never eat on an empty stomach.
Eat regularly. To do this it may
even be necessary to sometimes pay
board or grocery bills.
Breathe frequently.
Battle occasionally.
Do not eat beyond your tailor's
estimate.
Do most of your eating in daytime
and most of your drinking after
night.
Sleep in bed whenever possible.
Dress comfortably. The latest
style will insure that comfortable
feeling.
Think occasionally when you have
no one to do your heavy thinking
for YOU.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-

inflamed you have a rumbling

when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infam.

An Historic Residence.

The death of Mr.. Thad Lange
recalls some very interesting bits
of history. The first colored school
ever had in Boone county was or
ganized and taught in the house in
which he died. John Lange, Sr.,
the father of Mr.. Thad Lange,
owned the house and in 1865 en-
ployed white man by the name of
Greene to teach the colored youth
of this community. At that time
there was only one colored man in
Boone county who could read and
write; that man was Beverly Chap
man, who died recently in this city.
Mr.. Greene was succeeded by Mr..
Cummings, a colored man of Con-
necticut, who afterwards became
the son.in-law of Mr.. Lange, mar
rying his daughter, Cynthia. Mr..
Cummings succeeded in getting the
school on a more permanent basis
and established what was known as
Cummings Academy, after which
he took up the study of the minis
try and at the time of his death he
was rector of an Episcopal church
in Kansas City, Mo.
The Second Baptist church OF
this city also had its origin in this
humble little cottage. During the
same year of the organization OF
the school by Mr.. Lange (lS65),
Reverend Brooks, who now lives
in Moberly and was at that time
missionary, gathered about him in
this house a few followers of Christ
and organized Baptist church
Only two who went into the organ
'ization are now living; these ART

The Weather and the Crops.

U. 5. department of agriculture,
climate and crop bulletin of the
Weather Bureau, Missouri section,
for the week ending June 30, 1902.
Unseasonably cool, cloudy weather
has continued during the past week,
except in the extreme southern
portion of the state, the deficiency
in temperature in the central and
northern sections ranging from to
l3 degrees. Light frosts occurred in
some localities on the 22d and 23d
but no damage resulted. In portions
of the central and northern sections
greater part of the week, but in
most of the western and southern
counties fair weather prevailed
until the 9th. On the 9th, 18th
and 29th showers were general over
the state. Over much the greater
portion of the state the rainfall for
the seven days ending with the 18th
ranged from l to over 3 inches, and
over small areas in the south
western, central aud extreme north
ern sections it exceeded inches.
At Princeton, Mercer county, 6.08
inches of rain fell in "A hours, 800
inches falling in thirty minutes. In
those counties where excessive rains
occurred hill lands were badly
| Ia,
done to crops on bottom lands by the
Cverfiowing of streams. In Dent,
Phelps and Pulaski counties some
wheat was washed away.
The cloudy, showery weather has
been unfavorable for harvest, but
wheat is now about all cut, except
in the extreme northern counties,
and comparatively little damage
to that in shock is reported. Stack
ing and threshing were in progress
in theiwestern and southern sections
up to the 9th and large yields are
reported in most counties. Where
heavy rains have fallen oats have
lodged badly and there will probably
be considerable loss, but on the
whole an excellent crop is still
promised. In some of the extreme
southern counties oats are about all
cut and with favorable weather
cutting will become general during
the coming week. Meadows have
continued to improve, though in a
few localities they have been
damaged by excessive rains. Some
timothy has been cut but the wealth
er has been unfavorable for curing
; it. Prairie hay, in the southwestern
counties, is reported as exceptionally
fine. The cool weather has checked
p the rapid growth of corn, and in q
few counties it has been blown
down badly by high winds, but the
I crop continues in excellent con
dition, as rule, and the larger
portion has been laid by. Tn,
earliest fields are now in silk anC
tassel. Cotton has also beer
}. retarded by the low temperature
o but is doing we'll, as is also flax
Potatoes continue very promising
O in most sections and COW peas
sorghum, kaffir corn, millet ant
