WINDS QUEER FREAK.
Four to Eight Inches of Soil Blown From
an Eighty-Acre Field in
Missouri.

The wind a few days ago played an
expensive freak at the farm of Hugh
Markey, near Gilman City, Mo. The
farm, which consists Of so acres, has
been literally robbed OF its top soil to the
depth of from four to eight inches, leav-
ing the bare hardpan. The removed
layer was blown into the road which
skirts the field, forming a drift which
averages from three to five feet in depth
over a quarter of mile long. Mr.. Mar
key estimates the damage to his farm at
81, 600. The phenomenon was never be
fore known to this country.

The Kansas Cattle Feud.

From the Kansas City Star.
The news that the settlers and ranch
men IN northwestern Kansas are organ
izing and armiug themselves preparatory
to war over grass privileges VIII not
create any violent excitement. Pastoral
pursuits tend to the paci6catiOn of those
who engage in them, and it is believed
that the fear that the governor may be
compelled to dispatch the militia to the
scene Of the contention appears 70 be
grOundless.
The hostile talent which formerly kept
the short grass country in a state of
bloody conflict seems to have disap
Peared- 1t has never been very active
since the determination Of the lamented
Sam Wood, one of the heroes Of the
WOOdsdale-H ugotOn vendetta. A cattle
feud is a very inconsequential affair be-
side a county seat war, and that form Of
.savagery Seems to have entirely subsidized
in Kansas.
Frank Rockefeller, of Baptist lineage,
and Chauncey Dewey, whose progenit
ors lived 10 the intensely United Presby-
terrain town of Csdiz, O., are the heads
of the opposing forces, and the gospel
light and privileges which both have en-
jOyed ought to incline them to harmony
and the avoidance Of bloOdshed.
Up IN Harrison county Ohio. where
the Deweys lived in quiet opulence for
years, surrounded by thrifty shepherds
who deposited their ample savings in the
Dewey bank, there viii be distinct con-
sternation to learn that a scion Of a
peaceful Cadiz household should have
turned out to be warlike chief.

Superintendent Stetson gives the fl
lowing advice on reading:
Read but few books: read the best
books; read the books that help you
most; read the same books many
times: read for ideas more than facts;
take notes while reading: commit to
memory striking passages; make in
deXed scrap-books Of gems reed.
One hour of thoughtful reading each
dav will furnish food for meditat ton
for all your leisure hours. Persist in
this practice uptil it becomes a con-
trolling habit. Read and study the
lives Of good men until you have dis
covered the secret of their goodness
and greatness. Read and study the
history of a nation until you appreciate
the people. measure the leaders and
are able to comprehend the reasons
Whv it helped or hindercd the worlds
progress. Read and study one Of the
classics until YOU make your own the
ideas of the author. see the picture he
paints understand the characters he
portrays and can think out to their
legitimate conclusions the ideas eX-
pressed. Verify statements in science,
bv observations or by experiment, If
possible. Do not feel satisfied With
understanding the words of the author.
Master the thought, welcome the en-
thusiasm he inspires and follow out
the ideas your reading suggests. Study
and respect the opinions of others, but
in the end stand by yORr own con-
illusions

CASTRO RETURNS TO CARACAS
HIS GOVERNMENT SAID TO BE IN
DESPERATE STRAITS.

Wnlemstad, Curacao, July 26-Presdent cas-
tro of Venezuela has returned from Barcelona
to Caracas. owing to the impossibility for him.
with his army of 5000 men. to attack the revolu-
tionists waiting for him entrenched at Aragua'
the capital of the State OF Guzman Blanco. He
left Barcelona without firing single shot, not
withstandng his proclamation in which he said
he would fight against ten.
The moral effect produced by his retreat Is
disastrous for the government and gives an
idea of the srangest OF revolutions. which lately
has spread toward the centre of Venezuela. The
revolutonists are at Chaguaramas. on their way
to Orituco. sixty miles from Caracas
President Castro's new plan is to attack the
revolutionsts near Valencia. where they are as
sembIing from all directions, General Riera.
with 800 men. being on the way there from
Coro General Soagne. with 700 men, is march
ing to the rendezvous from San Felipe; General
Mendoza. with 1900 men, is bound there from
Barquisimeto, and General Matos leader of the
revolution accompanied by General Monagas
and large forces OF revolutiOnsts. is also headed
for the same place.
The government OF President Castro cannot
hold out much longer. Funds are needed and
forced loans being resorted to. Trains on
the Caracas railroad being held up daily
by the reYolutionists.
